Chapter 721 Cross the river! Cross the river!
"call!"

"How many are still able to move?"

Wang Zhong looked at Milong beside him and asked, "Li Hu was accidentally hit by a stray bullet and was injured by the Japanese grenade. Now he is lying at the back with the wounded."

"About ten!" Milong said after taking a look around.

"Where's the ammunition? How much is left?"

"I only have one magazine left." Milong said.

"The barrel of the heavy machine gun overheated and deformed, so it can't be used."

"We still have a lot of grenades left, all captured from the Japanese."

"The grenade launcher has run out of ammunition."

Wang Zhong asked everyone to count their grenades. There were more than ten soldiers, and each of them only had four or five grenades left on average.

Fortunately, the wounded soldiers still had a lot of grenades on them. Everyone immediately cleaned up the battlefield and collected the grenades and ammunition.

After everything was ready, Wang Zhong led more than a dozen soldiers to eat canned food and rest in the trenches built by the Japanese army. Now two artillery positions of the Japanese army had been captured, and after paying a heavy price, the Bu La on the riverside had almost taken down the riverside positions. The Japanese troops on the other side of the river had become an isolated army and were completely trapped on the east bank.

Now Yu Xiaoqing and Long Wenjian are launching the final attack on the Japanese troops on the shore.

Without artillery support, the Japanese army was not much stronger than the National Army. Most of the remaining hundreds of Japanese soldiers were wiped out in less than ten minutes. Seeing the powerful National Army, the remaining ones chose to lay down their arms and surrender.

"Captain Long, what are you doing?" Yu Xiaoqing saw that Long Wenjian was organizing people to collect rafts for the Japanese army to cross the river, and immediately stopped Long Wenjian.

"Of course, it's crossing the river." Long Wenjian said. He had already seen through the telescope that Bula and others were fighting with the Japanese army on the west bank of the river. He also saw the artillery fire and fighting on Nantianmen. Naturally, he guessed the reason why the Japanese artillery support was interrupted.

"quick!"

"All soldiers from the first battalion, get on the rafts and cross the river immediately!"

Long Wenjian had no intention of arguing with Yu Xiaoqing. Although he was a head shorter than Yu Xiaoqing, as a reinforced regiment, the Sichuan Army Corps was not under the control of Yu Xiaoqing and only accepted orders from the Yunnan Theater Command.

Long Wenjian led his guard platoon to board the raft first and headed towards the other side of the river.

In just five or six minutes, Long Wenjian and the soldiers of the first battalion of the Sichuan Army Corps landed on the west bank, joined forces with Bula and others, and rushed to Nantianmen.

Half an hour later, the battle was over, Nantianmen changed hands, and the large number of artillery left by the Takeuchi Regiment became spoils of the Sichuan Army.

When Long Wenjian found Wang Zhong, there were only six people left around Wang Zhong, including Mi Long, Cui Yong and Wang Zhong himself.

Looking at the flag of the Sichuan Army flying above Nantianmen, there were no smiles on their faces, only heaviness.

"How many casualties?" Long Wenjian, Bula and others fought all the way up and witnessed the tragic battle on Nantianmen with their own eyes. They felt heavy-hearted and came to sit beside Wang Zhong with their guns in their arms. Long Wenjian then asked in a deep voice.

"I led two hundred people to rush up the mountain, and now we are the only ones left alive." Wang Zhong's voice was filled with sadness and helplessness.

Bu La also came over and said, "Of the more than 200 of me, only about 20 are still intact. There are more than 20 lightly injured and 40 to 50 seriously injured. Whether we can save them is another matter."

"How many people did you bring?" Wang Zhong looked at Long Wenjian and asked. "Except for the one company that stayed behind at Jiqipo, I brought the remaining two and a half battalions here."

Although the Sichuan Army Corps is a reinforced regiment, the shortage of manpower has meant that Long Wenjian has only been able to recruit nearly a regiment of people so far. Fortunately, these soldiers have all undergone at least half a year of training, and except for the fact that they have never fought the Japanese with real swords and guns on the front battlefield, everything else is fine.

"Shebutt and Kang Ya are leading their men to ambush the Japanese reinforcements on a high ground thirty miles away. We have to quickly lead our men over to support them." After a short rest, Wang Zhong stood up with his gun in hand.

"The first battalion will be responsible for staying behind, and the second and third battalions will go with me and Deputy Commander Wang to provide support." Long Wenjian gave the order immediately, and everyone immediately followed the two of them to the front line. Mi Long and Cui Yong and others did not even have time to rest, and followed Wang Zhong and others to the front line.

Wang Zhong, along with Milong, Bula and others, traveled light and served as the vanguard. It only took them two hours to reach the battlefield.

The road had been completely blocked by the exploding cars, and a large number of Japanese troops were charging towards the top of the road.

"boom!"

From a distance of two hundred meters, Wang Zhong raised his hand and fired a shot, directly killing a Japanese lieutenant. He then loaded the bullet into the gun chamber again and shot down a Japanese light machine gunner. The third shot directly killed a commander who was commanding a Japanese grenade launcher.

Bula and others did not rush to the upper part where the Japanese army was attacking, but moved to the other side and directly attacked the Japanese.

Wang Zhong and his men served as the vanguard. Although their number was small, they solved the urgent problem of Shebutt and Kang Ya. Their appearance forced the Japanese who were attacking the mountain to give up the attack and retreat to the foot of the mountain, using the slope and vehicles as cover to fight with Wang Zhong and his men.

Ten minutes later, Long Wenjian arrived with a large army. The situation on the battlefield changed immediately, and the balance of victory completely tilted towards the National Army.

Half an hour later, the battle was over and the remaining Japanese troops either surrendered or fled.

Wang Zhong and Long Wenjian came to where Kang Ya and the others were. Kang Ya and the others had built three simple fortifications, the first two of which had been breached by the Japanese. Kang Ya and Shepizi, with the last fifty or so brothers, occupied the high point on the top of the mountain. Under the cover of the natural fortifications formed by the rugged rocks, they were not destroyed by the Japanese grenade launchers.

"This is a good location!" Wang Zhong said with a smile, then asked, "How many casualties are there?"

"There are more than thirty who are intact, and fifty or sixty who are injured but can still move. As for the rest, we have to check to know." Snake Butt said solemnly.

Wang Zhong raised his hand and patted his shoulder, saying, "Their sacrifice was worth it. We have taken down the Nantian Gate."

As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, a loud bang was heard from behind him. When everyone heard the sound and looked back, they saw a mushroom cloud rising into the sky.

"That is·······"

"Nantianmen?"

"Not good!" Wang Zhong and Long Wenjian exclaimed at the same time. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"No matter what happened at Nantianmen, it's too late for us to rush back now." Wang Zhong said in a deep voice.

Long Wenjian looked serious and solemn, and nodded, "Yes, we have been fighting with the Japanese for a long time and marched for 30 miles. The brothers have reached their limit."

"Bula is very familiar with the area. After cleaning up the battlefield, ask him to lead the way. I'm fast and will rush back to see what's going on."

"Be careful." Long Wenjian did not stop him, but said very seriously.

Wang nodded and said, "Don't worry! I know what I'm doing and I won't act stubbornly."
