Chapter 143 Sichuan Army! Hunan Army?

Zhang Fan arrived at the place in an instant!
It was a street that had become a ruin. Buildings on both sides of the road were burning, thick smoke was billowing, and there was a sea of ​​fire all around. Overhead, the roar of propellers of Japanese fighter planes could be heard as they flew away after dropping bombs. The explosions were deafening.

On one side, the Japanese soldiers in khaki uniforms raised their Type 38 rifles and pulled the triggers with ferocious faces towards the Sichuan soldiers who were advancing one after another with old rifles, swords and spears. The bullets ruthlessly pierced through these ragged Sichuan soldiers who could barely afford a few pairs of straw sandals!

The Sichuan Army soldiers fell to the ground one after another, groaning in pain, but their eyes were full of hatred. They stared at the Japanese slaves and would not close their eyes until they had crawled close to them and bit off a piece of their flesh!

Behind him, countless Sichuan Army soldiers are running forward one after another. Why should he fear death?
Serving the country and the people is a worthy death!

Can this be tolerated?
We must never let the Sichuan Army soldiers sacrifice in vain again!

Sichuan Army position, command center!

"Captain!" Wang Tiezhu looked at Li Chengheng, "Captain, you can't fight like this anymore! Brothers, try your best!"

Li Chengheng's eyes were already bloodshot. Hearing this, he shouted angrily, "We have no more bullets! How else can we fight? Escape? Can you outrun a bullet?"

"Hold your ground! Everyone listen to me!"

"Our Sichuan Army has traveled thousands of miles to Shanghai!"

"Isn't it just fighting for the country?"

"We must take back our position today. As long as we have the position, we will be there!"

"When a person dies, there will only be a scar the size of a bowl on his head!"

"Retreat? Are you worthy of those brothers who died? Wang Tiezhu, listen to me! Don't forget that this is a national war! I drank blood wine when I went out of Sichuan to fight!"

Hearing this, Wang Tiezhu heaved a long sigh inwardly, but he was not afraid of death, nor was he a surrenderist!

But, there is really no way around it, the Sichuan Army is a group of people without a mother!
Facing the enemy's firepower from land, sea and air, this was purely a waste of human lives.

It is said that they have the strength of a regiment, but at this moment, there are not many young men left among the ones they brought with them from their hometown Wanxian!
How long can it last if we use human lives to fill the gap?
There is no way out. The Sichuan Army has received orders that they cannot abandon the recovered positions and must defend them to the death.

Army Commander Yang Sen also issued an order personally, requiring all units to kill anyone who abandoned their positions without authorization!

Wang Tiezhu's lips moved slightly, but he didn't say the words, "As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!"
With tears in his eyes, he shouted: "Please rest assured, Captain! We will never bring shame to our fellow countrymen! We, the Pao brothers, will never be lazy!"

"Okay!" Li Chengheng patted his shoulder, then clenched his fist and shouted to everyone in the command center: "Everyone, have it! Have you written the suicide note?"

Amid the chorus of responses, no one showed any fear and their eyes were filled with determination!
Li Chengheng nodded.

"I'm leading my troops out of Sichuan!"

"3000 million county lads left Kuimen in the east!"

"There are less than 800 left after the battle in Shanghai!"

"Gutted Jiang didn't give us guns or food! When our brothers died, they didn't even have cloth to shroud their bodies! Even their feet were bare!"

"But! Why did we leave Sichuan?"

"It's to defend our country! It's to drive out those invaders! It's not for him, Baldy Jiang! Right!"

"Yes!"

"I have been fighting civil wars for half my life! Today I will atone for my sins with Big Brother! I will die!"

"It is! It is!"

There were countless responses from all around!

"it is good!"

Li Chengheng glanced at everyone in the command center again, including the deputy regiment commander, the staff officer, and the guard company!

"I'll ask you one last time! If you want to leave, please take the suicide note back home for your brothers! When the war is won, head towards Shanghai and pour a bottle of wine into the river!"

"Those who wish to die! Die with me!"

Then Li Chengheng strode out of the command center.

He took out another cigarette and lit one for himself.

Give the rest to your left and right!
Can not go back!

After taking a deep breath, Li Chengheng exhaled white smoke rings.

This is the autumn wind with flesh and the autumn rain with blood.

He led the people behind him to the front of the position.

He stared fiercely at the Japanese position in front of him, then relied on the sandbags for cover and shouted loudly to the surroundings: "If you are still alive, pull your ears out and listen!"

"The Sichuan Army has not failed the country! The old man is better! Charge!"

When I turned around, I brought a sandbag and almost fell flat on my face!
The person he saw was Zhang Fan who flew down from the building nearby.

"Captain! The commander has been shot!"

"Quick! Quick! Pull it back!"

Wang Tiezhu shouted loudly and immediately pulled Li Chengheng out.

"Pay attention and hide!" Li Chengheng stood up and saw that everyone was stunned on the spot, so he immediately said. "What are you still standing there for! Hide!" Li Chengheng shouted.

Everyone still ignored it with a stupid look on their faces!
Wang Tiezhu stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointed at the Japanese position behind Li Chengheng and said, "Captain! It's over!"

"It's over? What's over? The Japanese have retreated?" Li Chengheng immediately turned around and looked over when he heard that!
Zhang Fan was floating in the air, looking at them with a smile. The rest were the corpses of the Japanese soldiers stationed here, all of whom had their heads chopped off!

"Gods, gods, immortals!!" Li Chengheng cried out in surprise.

Zhang Fan shook his head and floated towards the Sichuan Army soldiers!

Some of them were frightened and were about to bow down, but under Zhang Fan's mental power, they could not move at all and stared with their eyes wide open!
Zhang Fan waved his hand, and a pile of Japanese standard weapons fell to the ground. They were exactly what were seized from the abandoned factory before!
Some more medicines obtained from St. Mary's Hospital were given.

Zhang Fan said, "These are weapons, equipment and medicines. They were all taken from the Japanese. You can use them!"

Then he glanced at the Japanese positions ahead and said, "There are also many machine guns and mortars on the positions. You should take care of them all!"

"No need to bow to me, I am also a child of the Dragon Nation! Sorry! I'm late!"

After saying this, he released the telekinetic control.

"Not too late! Not too late!" Wang Tiezhu said hurriedly when he found that he could speak, and then he went to pick up the weapons and equipment on the ground!
Li Chengheng calmed down and bowed to Zhang Fan, saying, "Hurry up, immortal, which immortal mountain are you practicing in?"

Zhang Fan shook his head and said nothing, ready to skip this topic. After all, it would be difficult to deal with if Xiao Yu got angry and wanted to attack his master. Master Zhang Jingqiu would not be afraid of him, after all, he had the Heavenly Master Du there.

But the flowers and plants on Mount Longhu must not suffer disaster for no reason!

He asked, "Can you hold the position here?"

Li Chengheng saw Zhang Fan asking questions and knew that Zhang Fan did not want to reveal his identity, so he quickly replied: "Don't worry, Immortal! Even if we all die, we will never give this position to the Japanese!"

Zhang Fan nodded, but then he thought, why should he defend? Shouldn't he attack and drive the Japanese into the sea?
He immediately said, "No need to guard!"

"Master! This..."

Zhang Fan waved his hand to interrupt Li Chengheng, and then said: "Follow me, we will drive the devils in this city into the sea first!"

Li Chengheng felt a little conflicted when he heard this, because the order he received was to defend the position to the death!
Seeing Li Chengheng's tangled face, Zhang Fan said again: "Just leave some people behind. These devils are already dead. No more devils will come to this place!"

Li Chengheng thought about it and it was true. The position was still in his hands. He also thought that if Zhang Fan had not come, his group of people would have already died for the country. Following Zhang Fan would also be to kill the enemy and serve the country. What was there to be afraid of!

He immediately stood at attention, saluted, and said to Zhang Fan: "Li Chengheng, the commander of the 133th Regiment of the 4rd Division of the th Army! I am willing to follow the immortal to drive the Japanese invaders into the sea!"

"Drive the Japanese into the sea!"

"Fuck those sons of bitches!"

"Master, lead us to kill the enemy!"

"Revenge!"

For a moment, the survivors of the four regiments were all full of morale!

Zhang Fan pressed his hand down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and said to Li Chengheng: "Captain Li, distribute these weapons and equipment immediately! And don't call me Immortal Master, just call me Taoist Master!"

Li Chengheng nodded, bowed again and said, "Please rest assured, Taoist priest!"

Then he turned around to make arrangements, and the soldiers around him immediately went forward to arm themselves after receiving the order!

Li Chengheng arranged two squads to stay behind to guard the position, and then lined up the rest of the soldiers and returned to Zhang Fan!

Li Chengheng asked, "Master, where should we fight?"

Zhang Fan thought, this would mean that there would be enemies everywhere, so he should focus on gathering his manpower first!
He asked, "What other positions are being defended nearby?"

"Quick Tiezhu! Bring me the map!" Li Chengheng waved to Wang Tiezhu.

Wang Tiezhu hurried over, and the two of them spread the map on the ground and said to Zhang Fan: "This is the position of the Central Army! This is your army! This is the Guangdong Army! This is the position of our Sichuan Army! And here! This is the position of the Hunan Army!"

The Hunan Army choked up a bit as he spoke, and then said: "All 15 of their divisions have gone up! I guess there aren't many people left now!"

"Our 20th Army can still hold on! It's the Hunan Army. Can we?"

After saying that, Tiger looked at Zhang Fan with tears in his eyes. Zhang Fan nodded and said, "Lead the way! Go and help the Hunan Army deal with the enemies first! I'll be in front, and you follow behind. Don't leave any remaining enemies behind!"

"Yes!" said Li Chengheng.

Zhang Fan stood up and flew in that direction!

Li Chengheng quickly ordered the entire army to attack!
Zhang Fan wondered in his heart, Hunan Army?
I just remembered a sentence, "There is no Hunan Army after Songhu!"

The loyal heart hangs like the sun and the moon, and the white bones protect the mountains and rivers.

Since ancient times, there can be no army without Hunan.

In my previous life, I often saw propaganda in books, newspapers, and on the Internet that 300 million Sichuan troops joined the army to fight against the Japanese. However, I didn’t know that 210 million people from the small province of Hunan joined the army to fight against the Japanese. At that time, Sichuan had a population of 7000 million, while the entire province of Hunan had less than 3000 million people!

The eight-year all-out war of resistance against Japan saw 22 battles, seven of which took place in the bloody Hunan.

The Battle of Changde, the Battle of Hengyang, the Battle of Xiangxi, and the four Changsha battles were all fierce battles, and the number of enemy troops killed accounted for half of the number of enemy troops killed by the National Army in the eight-year all-out war of resistance.

While Hunan endured enormous casualties among ordinary people, property losses, and military supplies in support of the War of Resistance (92 ordinary people died, 170 million were seriously injured, and the number of minor injuries is incalculable, not including the casualties of officers and soldiers from Hunan), the number of soldiers it recruited accounted for 15% of the total number of recruits in the country. On average, one in every 15 people joined the army, ranking first among all provinces in the country in terms of per capita number of soldiers enlisted!
