"All the first battalion of the Sichuan Army Reinforcement Regiment assemble! Check weapons and prepare for battle!"
"Krupp? Establish an artillery position and wait for my firing order at any time!"
"I know, Captain."
"Dakui, your company will stay at the camp and protect the artillery position. Send an order to the temporary third battalion to also stay at the position. Don't panic."
"Understood, captain!" Ding Xiaoer quickly saluted and then ran towards the group of child soldiers.
Liao Mingyu rushed out and gave the order, and the soldiers of the first battalion took action quickly. In less than 5 minutes, the entire battalion stood in formation under the leadership of their respective company and platoon commanders.
Liao Mingyu nodded secretly, now he is decent, more than a little better than a month ago.
"Everyone has it! The target is the Nu River bank defense position, run forward from east to west!"
…
"Boom...Boom! Boom!"
The Japanese artillery shells not only hit the riverside, but also hit the town of Zenda. Countless artillery shells hit the dense rows of tile-roofed houses in the town, blowing up and destroying many ordinary people's houses.
"Ah! Run for your life."
"help me……"
"Aww, what a bastard!"
…
Smoke and fire filled the whole town, and the whole town was in chaos. Many people were killed and injured. They cried for their parents and fled in all directions. The whole street was full of people running around.
"Damn it, what does Yu Xiaoqing do for a living? A division of more than 7,000 people can be so easily broken by the Japs?"
Long Wenwen held a Lee Enfield with a scope and walked out of the crowd cursing.
This rifle was given to him by Liao Mingyu. Every time he fought, Liao Mingyu saw that he was very greedy for the No. 4 little plum with a scope, so he simply gave it to him.
"The second battalion is assembled, please give instructions from Deputy Commander Long!"
Xing Fuquan paid a military salute solemnly and reported to Long Wenwen. Due to the lack of officers, he now also serves as the deputy battalion commander of the second battalion.
"The little devil is coming, run, run."
"Don't block the road, get out of the way!"
Before Long Wenwen could say anything, a group of soldiers ran towards him on the street. They were all in a panic and ran eastward desperately.
"Bang! Bang!"
Long Wenwen took out his Mauser pistol and fired two shots into the air, shouting loudly: "Stop all of you! Why are you running! Do you still know that you are soldiers?"
A soldier in the deserter team said with a mournful face: "Sir, the little Japanese are coming. If you don't run away, you will die here."
"Where is your Master Yu?"
"The first wave of Japanese artillery shells hit the headquarters. It was said that they were killed on the spot."
The soldier said hurriedly. He didn't know whether it was true or not. Anyway, everyone was spreading the word. If he didn't run away with his life, he could only run along.
"Sir, everyone on the riverside has dispersed. Don't make it difficult for the brothers. You can run away as well."
After saying this, the group wanted to continue running away.
Long Wenwen was furious. Look what he said. Is this what a Chinese soldier should say? He instantly raised his pistol and pressed the cold muzzle against his head:
"The Second Battalion of the Sichuan Army, listen to the order! Stop all the Yu Division soldiers who are fleeing!"
"Whoever dares to continue to escape will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
Long Wenwen looked at this group of deserters fiercely. This hole must be blocked first. The situation of the Japanese attacking troops is unknown. Allowing them to continue to flee is likely to cause an even greater collapse, and perhaps even the soldiers in their own unit will be affected.
The soldiers of the second battalion immediately deployed a defense line on the spot. Several Maxim heavy machine guns moved forward, blocking several streets in an instant.
The deserters kept retreating. You looked at me and I looked at you. It didn't matter whether I wanted to go or not.
At this time, many deserters came one after another from behind, and more and more of them gathered together. For a time, the road was overcrowded, pushing each other, shouting and cursing one after another, and the whole street became chaotic.
"What do you mean, why are you blocking me?"
"Get out of the way, do you want your life?"
"Rush over, rush over quickly!"
…
The soldiers who escaped from behind didn't know what was going on, and they all clamored to break through the defense line.
"Bahhhhhh...!"
A Maxim heavy machine gun sprayed fire snakes diagonally above them, and the bullets scattered dust from the tiled house behind them. The deserters were so frightened that they quickly shrank to the ground.
"Whoever dares to take a step forward again, don't blame me for not recognizing people with machine guns!"
Cui Yong immediately blocked the front with his sword, and he swung the Maxim in his hand and pointed it at the deserter in front of him. He kept his promise and would never shoot the next wave of bullets into the air.
The deserters were immediately frightened by his ferocious aura. Long Wenwen also kicked over a young soldier who wanted to force his way in.
"So what if you run out of Zenda? Even if you run to the northeast, there will still be little Japs! Give them all to me and go back with guns in hand! Watch how our Sichuan Army fights."
"What a fool! If you want to die, don't hold us back. If you have the ability, go to the riverside and fight the Japanese now!"
The young soldier who was kicked to the ground dared to speak uncleanly. Long Wenwen narrowed his eyes and raised his pistol without saying a word to kill him.
"Beep beep beep!" A rapid sound of horn interrupted him.
On the street behind the Second Battalion, a military jeep came at a high speed. The soldiers on the street moved to both sides to avoid it, and behind the jeep were rows of troops marching in an orderly manner.
"grumble……"
The jeep quickly stopped close to the crowd, and Liao Mingyu rushed here with the first battalion. He knew what was going on without asking. He opened the door and got out of the car, and walked to the crowd with a gloomy expression.
His sharp eyes glanced around coldly. All the grandsons were disheveled and their helmets were worn crookedly. Some soldiers even ran away and lost their guns.
"A bunch of useless trash! Even if there are thousands of pigs thrown by the river, it will be enough for the little devils to catch them for a day. Did you give up Jiang Fang in less than half an hour?!"
Seeing a high-ranking official, the deserters lowered their heads one after another, not daring to act arrogantly again.
The frightened soldier on the ground stared at him blankly. If it hadn't been for this episode, he would have to see the Lord of Hell now.
"Huh? Boy, I remember you. You were the lame little follower next to Milong, right?"
Liao Mingyu glanced at him and said to him coldly. Unexpectedly, I met him right after I arrived. After all, this kid had eaten vermicelli from the same pot as them, and Liao Mingyu was quite impressed by him.
"Ah? Ah yes, yes... yes, sir, do you remember me?" The soldier was surprised on the ground. He also recognized the officer who made them pork stewed vermicelli.
The soldier's name is Yang Danzi, and he is the little follower who followed the dragon at the shelter.
At that time, everyone followed Liao Mingyu to fight in Burma, but he was unable to join the army because of his leg injury. The last person stood on the street with a wooden stick, eagerly watching his companions embark on the journey.
His leg injury was different from Meng Fanglia's. Meng Fanglia's injury was on the flesh, but he could still run away after jumping.
His injury was on the bone. Although it could be healed with treatment, at that time even walking was a problem, and it was impossible to march with the large army in the jungle. So Liao Mingyu didn't take him with him. But now that his leg injury had recovered, he accidentally joined Yu Xiaoqing's team.
In fact, Yang Danzi also longs to fight in his heart. He also wants a victory to wash away his shame, otherwise he would not have turned against Mi Long in the shelter in order to join the army, and in the end his leg was broken by Mi Long.
If he could have gone on an expedition with the Sichuan Army at that time, perhaps he would have become a qualified soldier now. How could he be a spineless deserter again?
"Stand up! After all, you are a person who has eaten from the same pot as me. Is this your virtue?"
After being scolded by Liao Mingyu, Yang Danzi quickly got up from the ground, lowering his head and not daring to look at him.
"Damn it, isn't this Yangdanzi? What's wrong with you? Why are you still a deserter!"
Yaoma questioned him angrily. This guy was also from Sichuan. He was a few years older than Doubian. When I was in the shelter, besides following the dragon. Yang Danzi often followed him around to beg for food and drink.
"You bastard, you've brought disgrace to me! Get over here quickly, you're still a deserter, I'll beat you and me to death!"
Mi Long picked up his sleeves and wanted to beat him. He also hated the fact that iron cannot become steel. He originally thought that this kid would not join the army anymore because of his weak legs. However, he not only joined the army again, but also treated him as a deserter in front of his own mother. He was really angry.
"Brother Milong?..."
Only then did Yang Danzi look up and realize that standing behind the officer were the brothers who had been eating pork stewed vermicelli together at that time. They were staring at him with strange eyes, which made him feel very ashamed.
With a "plop", Yangdanzi knelt down to Liao Mingyu happily.
"Captain, I was wrong!"
"I couldn't find you later. After the foot pole was healed, I ran to Master Yu and became a soldier. I...I didn't want to run either. But everyone was running...I had no choice but to run along."
"Ugh... Captain, I was wrong. I have embarrassed the Sichuan Army."
His head banged and Yangdanzi burst into tears. He truly repented.
Liao Mingyu was silent, he was right, one person could sweep away ten, and ten could sweep away a hundred. Seeing everyone around him running, no one wanted to stay and die. This is the law of damned deserters!
"Okay, stand up for me! My soldiers are not weaklings. You have to show me whether you can be a qualified soldier!"
Liao Mingyu shouted angrily at him. These words also gave him a step up, indirectly admitting that he was a soldier of the Sichuan Army.
"Thank you, leader! Thank you, leader!" Yang Danzi was ecstatic.
"You useless thing, why don't you come to my side quickly!?"
Milong also breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, he thought the leader was going to kill him, but fortunately the leader was kind-hearted and the boy finally saved his life.
"Ding, a secondary character has been detected: Yang Danzi. In the original time and space, due to the Japanese army's first cross-river attack, Yang Danzi, who was in the Yu Division Regiment, fled the river defense with the large army, and was finally stopped by Long Wenwen and shot to establish his authority.
Now the host has successfully changed its fate and received a reward: 2000 points and an M9 multipurpose bayonet. "
Yang Danzi's episode has come to an end, but more and more deserters are gathering on the street. The situation is getting more serious.
He walked to the jeep, turned the muzzle of the vehicle-mounted M2 heavy machine gun, pointed it at the ground in front of the deserter, and suddenly opened fire!
"Thump thump thump thump thump...!"
The huge gunshots scared the deserters and screamed again and again. The 12.7mm large-caliber bullets shattered the stone road beyond recognition, and debris was scattered everywhere.
Good guy, what kind of gun is this? The bullet hits the ground like a cannonball. What if it hits a person?
"Listen up, I am the leader of the Sichuan Army! No matter whether you, Master Yu, are dead or alive, please stay where I am and cooperate with my troops to defend Zenda!"
Liao Mingyu stood on the car holding a machine gun and shouted at a group of deserters below.
"Meng Fan, take the Second Battalion and organize these deserters to defend the streets and prevent the little devils from entering the town. Anyone who dares to resist and be disrespectful will be shot on the spot!"
"Long Wenwen! Take your first battalion and follow me!"
"Yes! Leader." Long Wenwen replied loudly.
"Brothers, we must not let the little devil step into the town and charge at me!"
After Liao Mingyu finished speaking, he pulled out the gun on his waist and rushed out at the lead. The soldiers behind him quickly followed their regimental leader.
One battalion and three companies, with nearly a thousand men, rushed towards the river in a mighty manner.
…
At this moment, the east coast was being baptized by Japanese artillery fire. Countless shells fell on the original position of the Yu Division Regiment. But the irony is that there is not a single soldier on the position.
The Japanese offensive troops had crossed half the distance of the Nu River. At this time, their artillery slowly stopped shelling for fear of accidental damage. There was a brief moment of calm on the east coast.
Liao Mingyu and his troops had just left the west entrance of Chanda Town when they encountered a team of several hundred people.
At the head of the platoon was a lieutenant colonel officer. He was covered with dirty hair and his uniform was covered in dirt and dust. He was leading a group of soldiers who were disgraced and disheveled as they ran toward Zenda Town.
Liao Mingyu didn't have time to care about him now. He took out his telescope and looked at the riverside three kilometers away, and he suddenly became furious!
The leading troops of the Japs have approached the shore and are preparing to land. But these Yu division officers and soldiers actually abandoned their position and fled back regardless.
There was no time to hesitate, Liao Mingyu quickly issued the combat order:
"It's numb, not spicy! Take your soldiers to seize Yushi's position and stop the stupid little devil for me!"
"Long Wenzhang! You and Mi Long command the three companies to provide cover and arrange the firepower points!"
"Li Liansheng, pull out the mortar for me and blast that son of a bitch!"
"yes!"
"Yes, leader!"
…
Kaname and the others took action immediately with their soldiers. The battlefield was about to break out. The Japs had not yet boarded the shore. They had to rush into the position before them. If they were allowed to seize the position first, they would be passive. Maybe they would Huge casualties occurred!
The Yu Division soldiers coming from the opposite side quickly ran up to them. The lieutenant colonel glanced at Liao Mingyu and asked with some uncertainty: "Well, you are the commander of the Sichuan Army, right?"
"Hmph! Do you still know that I am the commander of the Sichuan Army?"
Liao Mingyu put down his binoculars and looked at the young officer with a round face.
"I was standing right behind my brother when I was on the riverside and saw you."
The young officer patted the dust on his body and said nonchalantly.
"See you paralyzed!"
Seeing his careless look, Liao Mingyu became so angry that he knocked down the round-faced officer with one punch.
"Wow...ah! My teeth?!"
The officer spat out a mouthful of blood, and there were actually two big teeth in it.
"Tie him up!" Liao Mingyu looked at the idiot on the ground with disgust. I was so angry that I didn't let it out, but this idiot wanted to bump into his hand.
"Fuck you, how dare you hit our leader!?"
"Bang!!"
A major behind the round-faced officer unconvincedly took out his pistol. Before he could make any further move, Liao Mingyu instantly took out the gun on his waist and shot him in the forehead with the second shot.
Until he fell down, the major couldn't believe that there was a bloody hole in his head...
