Early in the morning, the rumbling of artillery in the distance woke up the citizens of Chanda who were still sleeping. Many people ran out in panic to look at the south of the Nu River. They already knew that the Japanese had attacked from Myanmar to the border of Yunnan. The Yu division who had retreated to the country had spread the news.
Today, they finally heard the sound of artillery. Everyone was a little frightened. Although they had never seen the real Japanese in the distant Yunnan border, the defeated soldiers and civilians who had fled here were telling about the brutality of the Japanese, so most people were afraid of the Japanese.
"It's over, it's over. The Japanese are attacking. Let's escape quickly. Go to Spring City or Sichuan Province.”
"What are you running for? How can that Japanese be as scary as those people who rob the land? At most, we'll just pay more.”
"Sigh, what kind of army is this? They've been defeated in the north, and they've still failed in the south. When did they have the strength to fight the Japanese?”
"If only the 3rd Regiment was here. They are so well-trained. They can definitely fight the Japanese. It's a pity that they went to Myanmar. I wonder how they are now.”
"They should have died in battle. Look at that Yu Master who ran back. If they didn't come back, they should have died in Myanmar. What a good young man. I've never seen an army that pays for things!”
As the tank drove, it used its megaphone to shout," Everyone, don't panic. The 3rd Regiment is fighting against the enemy on the south bank of the Nu River. Unless our entire Regiment dies, we will never let the Japanese cross the Nu River.”
These words were very tragic, and the feeling of fighting to the death was vividly written on the paper, causing some of the villagers to shed tears.
"Good, good, good. This is what a soldier should do. Protect the family for the people, protect the family for the people. Villagers, we can't just watch these young men fight desperately in front. We have to take action too. Prepare hot water and food. When they come back, we'll reward the army.”The elders with high prestige shouted.
Immediately, the villagers got into action and went home to prepare. They didn't know if the 3rd Regiment could win, but they had to prepare.
On the Nu River, there was only one Huitong Bridge that connected the two banks. At this moment, there was a confrontation on the bridge. When Zhou Heng left, he left someone to guard the Huitong Bridge. He was afraid that someone would blow up the bridge when the Japanese arrived.
After all, this was an old tradition of the people's party. They would blow up the bridge or the river embankment at any time. As expected, after the sound of artillery came from the south bank, Yu Xiao Qing, who was also stationed in Chan Da, immediately ordered people to install explosives, wanting to blow up the bridge.
However, the 3rd Regiment had already occupied the bridgehead. When they saw someone coming to blow up the bridge, they immediately aimed the heavy machine guns at the bridgehead at the team brought by Yu Xiao Qing.
"Are you trying to rebel? How dare you point a gun at our regiment commander? Hurry up and let go of the bridgehead. Otherwise, we will punish you according to military law.”Zhang Lixian stood up and shouted.
Unfortunately, the company guarding the bridgehead didn't seem to hear him and continued to point their guns at them. At this time, Yu Xiao Qing couldn't help but stand up and say," What's your attitude? Is the third regiment a puppet army?" The Japanese are coming, and you still don't want to blow up the bridge? This is treason. I'm going to blow up the bridge now. Let's see if you dare to shoot.”
As he spoke, Yu Xiao Qing walked towards the bridgehead. At this time, he was full of courage and had an excellent momentum. The machine gun at the bridgehead really did not dare to fire. The company commander was contacting the regiment headquarters about what to do.
Just as Yu Xiao Qing and his men were about to reach the bridgehead, there was a cracking sound behind them. Everyone turned around and saw a few tanks coming over. The machine guns and cannons on them were aimed at Yu Xiao Qing and the others.
"Listen up, make way for us. The 3rd Regiment will take over this bridge. The refugees and wounded will be crossing the bridge soon. Do not block the bridge, or you will be executed.”The tank's high-pitched horn shouted. The muzzle was aimed at the target. One could imagine how intimidating it was.
Many soldiers behind Yu Xiao Qing instinctively wanted to retreat, but Yu Xiao Qing stood still. He felt extremely humiliated. The people of the 3rd regiment did not put him in their eyes at all. After all, Chan Da was his territory.
"The 3rd Regiment is going too far. Hmph, I want to see if the 3rd Regiment can stop the Japanese. If you can't stop them and the bridge is occupied by the Japanese, I want to see what you can do.”Yu Xiao Qing knew that it was impossible to blow up the bridge, so he left with his men. However, he didn't go far. Instead, he went to a nearby high ground and looked at the south bank with binoculars. He wanted to see how the 3rd regiment would fight the devils.
Seeing that the 3rd Regiment had been forced away, the tank company immediately began to spread out along the sides of the bridge. They did not drive over the bridge because the bridge could only bear 10 tons of weight, and their tank alone weighed 33 tons. If they went up to the bridge, it would collapse. There were more such bridges in Myanmar, which greatly limited the tank's operations.
The artillery fire from the south bank was getting more and more intense, and the 3rd Regiment's aerial unit was pouring out in full force, heading toward the south bank. A great battle was inevitable.
Yu Xiaoqing, who was standing on the high ground, looked at the flying plane and was a little stunned. Who was this 3rd regiment? They even had an aviation team. Have you heard of any regiment-level team with an aviation team? Not even Westerners would have such a strange thing. How did he encounter such a strange thing?
