Zhao Ziqiang was instantly enraged when he arrived at the Nu River!
The width of the Nu River was about a hundred meters. The current was rapid, and it was difficult for people who were not physically strong to swim across.
Four iron chains connected the two banks. Other than that, there were only a few lonely rafts floating by the river!
The west bank was already crowded with people. There were hundreds of people with all kinds of heads mixed together!
There were all kinds of people, from soldiers to fleeing commoners.
Zhao Ziqiang's face was ashen as he led his team over.
It was understandable that the commoners wanted to escape and cross the Nu River to ensure their safety.
The soldiers didn't pick up their guns to protect the people, but instead fought with them for the ferry raft. What kind of logic was this?
He took out his pistol, reloaded it, and strode to the riverside.
"Bang!"
Zhao Ziqiang fired his gun at the sky, and the crowd suddenly quieted down.
The group of defeated soldiers did not know what to do, while the old, young, women, and Confucians each held their luggage and looked at him in horror.
The sudden appearance of an iron-blooded army confused everyone.
"Run? Where are you going?"
"The Japanese are right behind you. Are you going to cross the river like this and become live targets?”
Zhao Ziqiang aimed at the few defeated soldiers who fought the most fiercely and gave them a loud slap!
"Who are you? What arrogance!”
A burly soldier squeezed out from the crowd and rushed towards Zhao Ziqiang while pushing and shoving him!
"I'm going to cross the river today. Let's see who can stop me!”
With that, he raised the rifle in his hand and smashed it at Zhao Ziqiang with the butt!
"Damn it!"
Zhao Ziqiang dodged to the side and dodged the attack.
He didn't expect that these defeated soldiers were really rotten to the bone.
He was so big and looked about the same size as the Enchanting Dragon. He did not expect that he would rather fight with his own people than resist the Japanese!
Without hesitation, he raised his pistol, aimed at the top of the soldier's head, and pulled the trigger!
"Bang!"
The soldier's eyes widened, and his body stiffened as he fell to the ground!
The corpse floated on the surface of the river.
"Those who flee will be killed without mercy!"
"Those who disobey their superiors will be killed without mercy!”
Looking at the corpses of the soldiers, the group of scattered soldiers immediately took a few steps back!
Zhao Ziqiang's eyes were filled with killing intent. No one dared to look him in the eye.
Some of the troublemakers who had planned to continue to clamor also obediently quieted down.
If they dared to escape, they wouldn't dare to rebel.
The military rank on Zhao Ziqiang's epaulet was colonel. Generally speaking, such a rank would at least be a regiment commander!
Other than Yu Xiaoqing on the other side of the river, this was already the largest official on both sides of the Nu River!
Zhao Ziqiang was satisfied when he saw that the defeated soldiers had finally become obedient.
There were at least 300 soldiers. It would be a waste to let them disperse.
"Listen, my name is Zhao Ziqiang, the commander of the Chuan Legion.”
"No matter what kind of organization you belonged to before, return to the base immediately. The Japanese's follow-up troops are coming soon.”
After Zhao Ziqiang finished speaking, the troops of the Chuan Legion also caught up from behind.
When the scattered soldiers saw the sudden appearance of a thousand men army, they immediately felt confident.
No matter what the situation was, as long as there were more people, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Then, they were hurriedly assigned to their respective companies by Ah Yi, Meng Fanle, and the others.
After the defeated soldiers joined the Chuan Legion, Zhao Ziqiang looked at the shore.
There were still about a hundred commoners left, as well as some injured people who could not walk.
"Let the wounded, the elderly, and the children go first. The women will be at the back, and the men will be at the back!”
"Villagers, go home in peace. We'll block the Japanese in front and keep them outside the Southern Heavenly Gate!”
Zhao Ziqiang said to the wounded and commoners on the shore.
Hearing Zhao Ziqiang's words, the commoners immediately burst into tears.
"The pillar of the country, the pillar of the country!”
"Sir, you and the soldiers must remember to pay attention to your safety!”
"We'll wait for your triumphant return on the other side!"
A few commoners who valued friendship and righteousness had tears streaming down their faces. They even knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Ziqiang.
Some of the men in the crowd and the injured who could move saw this scene and immediately felt their faces turn red!
"Motherf * cker, isn't it just death? Today, I'll fight it out with the Japanese!”
"Sir, give me a gun. I want to join your team!”
"I'm not leaving. Let the elderly and children leave first!”
Every man's heart was filled with hot blood. All the men chose to stay in the West Coast and fight the Japanese to the death!
Of course, Zhao Ziqiang agreed.
There were plenty of guns, but what they lacked now was manpower.
He cupped his fists and bowed to everyone.”
"Let's go all out!"
Everyone responded.
The old, young, women, and Confucians began to board the raft and set off for the east coast in an orderly manner.
Zhao Ziqiang led more than a thousand hot-blooded soldiers and turned around to charge up the Southern Heavenly Gate!
Behind the Southern Heavenly Gate was a steep cliff!
Further behind was the turbulent Nu River!
If he wanted to go to the Nu River, he had to go through the Southern Heavenly Gate first!
If they wanted to go to the Southern Heavenly Gate, the Japanese would have to ask the people in the Chuan Legion for permission!
