Chapter 722 Kill One Thousand Enemies, Lose Eight Hundred of Your Own
Before reaching the South Gate of Heaven, I saw that the ancient tree on the top of the mountain that had long since turned into a fossil had collapsed.

Wang Zhong rushed to the mountain quickly, and when he got closer, he found that the battalion responsible for guarding Nantianmen had suffered heavy casualties. The dusty Ayi was directing the soldiers to organize a defense. The veterinarian and the medical staff were rescuing the soldiers injured in the explosion. There was no trace of the Japanese around.

Wang looked around again and indeed did not see any Japanese soldiers, so he went closer and carefully examined the explosion.

"what happened?"

When Ah Yi saw Wang Zhong, he felt as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw: "I don't know what happened. I was just inspecting the position, and I didn't expect that there was an explosion on the top of the mountain just as I walked to the front."

Wang Zhong looked at the area with a radius of more than 200 meters centered on the fossilized ancient tree on the top of the mountain. The explosion had caused a two or three meter deep pit to collapse. He didn't know how many soldiers were buried in the pit. The four heavy machine guns that Wang Zhong had previously deployed around the ancient tree were also not spared.

"How much explosives did that old devil Takeuchi bury on the mountain?" Even Wang Zhong was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

Fortunately, he sent Kang Ya and Shebuti to stop the Japanese army in advance, and after taking over Nantianmen, he immediately met up with Long Wenjian and led his men to support Shebuti and his men, leaving only one battalion to guard Nantianmen.

If we were to take steady steps and station ourselves at the Nantianmen, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"How many brothers were lost?" Wang Zhong hurriedly asked Ayi beside him.

Ah Yi hurriedly said: "According to preliminary statistics, there is no more than one company."

The reason why less than a company was lost was because there was only a battalion of more than 300 people on the Nantianmen, scattered in the multi-layered fortifications from the mountainside upwards. This avoided the outcome of being wiped out by the explosion just now.

"You organize rescue first!"

"Even if they are dead, we must dig out the bodies of our brothers."

"Yes!"

Ayi organized people to rescue people. Wang Zhong thought calmly while looking around, searching for anyone he thought might be suspicious.

Such a large-scale explosion was either a time bomb that had been set long ago, or someone deliberately detonated it underground.

Could it be that Takeuchi Renzan had been buried underground by the explosion? But if not, where on earth had this old devil gone?

For a moment, Wang Zhong couldn't guess where the old devil Takeuchi had gone.

The battle started too suddenly, so suddenly that it was completely beyond the expectations of Wang Zhong and Long Wenjian.

Just as Wang Zhong was searching around Nantianmen, the people sent by Yu Xiaoqing on the other side of the river also arrived at Nantianmen.

The person who came was none other than Yu Xiaoqing's close confidant Zhang Lixian. He brought Yu Xiaoqing's main force, hurriedly crossed the river and quickly climbed up to the Nantianmen.

"What's going on?" Zhang Lixian came up and saw Ayi organizing people to rescue the wounded in the deep pit.

"The Japanese buried explosives on the mountain in advance!" After Ayi hurriedly explained, he continued to direct the soldiers to rescue people.

After several years of training, Ayi is no longer the 'Zhao Kuo' who was full of enthusiasm but only knew how to talk about war on paper and had no practical experience. Although there is still a long way to go before he can become the Wang Zhong and Long Wenjian he wants to be, his progress is obvious to everyone.

The logistics of the entire Sichuan Army Corps were handled by Ayi alone. From the initial chaos and confusion to the current order, even in the face of such a large-scale explosion and massive casualties, he was still able to calmly command the surviving soldiers to hold the defense line while leading some soldiers to rescue their comrades in the deep pit.

"The first and second battalions enter the position, and the third battalion helps rescue people." Zhang Lixian immediately gave the order.

Today, this once passionate young man has become the leader of the main force of Master Yu.

The sudden explosion immediately alerted him. At this moment, Wang Zhong, who was patrolling the surroundings, suddenly had an idea. As soon as this idea came to his mind, Wang Zhong was shocked. He hurried back to the mountain and found A Yi: "Quick, contact Yu Xiaoqing and ask him to take people to guard the position and don't cross the river again."

"Why?" Ayi asked puzzledly.

Wang Zhong shouted, "No time to explain, this is an order, hurry up!"

Ayi hurriedly stood in a conspicuous position, picked up the chess piece, and sent a flag signal to the other side.

Wang Zhong quickly called the liaison officer and asked him to use the radio to contact Yu Xiaoqing on the east coast.

"Zhang Lixian, quickly organize everyone to enter the trenches to prevent the Japanese from bombing!"

"You mean, the Japanese planes?" Zhang Lixian reacted immediately.

"We've been fighting so fiercely here, but from beginning to end, the Japanese planes have never appeared. They must be waiting, waiting for the main force of Yu Shi to cross the river, waiting for us to gather at Nantianmen."

"quick!"

"Tell the soldiers to find shelter nearby to prevent the enemy from bombing!"

Zhang Lixian also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately ordered the soldiers to enter the trenches.

Less than five minutes after the telegram was sent, a low buzzing sound reached Wang Zhong's ears.

"The enemy planes are coming, get down!"

Now Wang Zhong has no anti-aircraft guns to fight back. With their current firepower, facing the Japanese planes, they have no other way except to be helpless.

Unless someone under Yu Xiaoqing on the other side of the river can use anti-aircraft guns to hit the Japanese plane, there is no hope that the US fighter jets will arrive in time.

Half a minute later, more than a dozen black spots appeared in the sky in everyone's eyes. The black spots gradually enlarged, and the roar of the plane came from a long distance.

Before they got close to Nantianmen, they saw the leading bombers starting to drop bombs. That was exactly the location where Long Wenjian and others were gathering Japanese reinforcements.

Although Wang Zhong was anxious, he was helpless at this moment.

The remaining dozen or so Japanese planes also flew quickly towards Nantianmen. In just over ten seconds, they arrived above Nantianmen, and shells rained down on Nantianmen.

Looking at the posture, it is clear that they want to raze the entire Nantianmen to the ground.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The huge crater caused by the previous explosion was the best landmark. Japanese bombers dropped countless bombs around the landmark.

In a moment, the entire Nantianmen was shrouded in terrifying explosions and artillery fire.

The fighter jets escorting on both sides also fired thousands of bullets at the densely packed Kuomintang soldiers on Nantianmen.

It is unknown how many soldiers were killed in the explosion, and how many were pierced and torn apart by the powerful firepower of Japanese fighter planes.

As soon as the U.S. fighter planes appeared over the east coast, the Japanese bombers, escorted by the fighter planes, retreated towards Myanmar.

Only the devastated Nan Tianmen was left.
