Chapter 2672 Nanjing, Nanjing: A Chance Encounter on the Battlefield!

While the Zhang brothers were chatting and firing, the Japanese were in deep trouble; they couldn't even lift their light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers.

Anyone who picks up a light or heavy machine gun or a grenade launcher will be shot dead immediately.

Even though their training lasted longer than that of Zhang Muzhi's men, Wang Yue had already secretly released four robots when he saw Zhang Muzhi in danger.

Although Wang Yue and Yu Manli were very accurate shooters, they were still within the realm of human skill. However, the four robots, despite carrying only eight guns, had a firing speed that was the limit of the guns, not their own.

As a result, half of the 400 Japanese soldiers who came to their aid fell in less than three minutes, with every shot hitting their heads.

In this situation, the Japanese soldiers had no way to launch an attack and could only rely on cover to fight back.

Unfortunately, Wang Yue and Yu Manli, a robot, were already to the side of Zhang Muzhi and his men, so the Japanese soldiers' bunkers were completely unable to defend themselves and could only lie motionless in the pit.

Seeing this opportunity, Zhang Muzhi immediately roared to his men, "Brothers, reinforcements are here! Let's finish this quickly!"

He was worried that reinforcements from the Japanese would arrive, and wanted to quickly take the supplies and retreat.

Of the more than 400 Sichuanese who followed Zhang Muzhi, half were from Echeng, and the other half had come voluntarily after hearing on the way that they were going to fight the Japanese.

Because they lacked logistical support, they understood that if this raid failed and they ran out of ammunition, they would be unable to participate in subsequent battles.

So, after hearing Zhang Muzhi's words, they rushed forward without thinking.

With excellent teamwork, Zhang Muzhi annihilated the remaining 200 Japanese soldiers at the cost of more than 30 casualties.

At this point, both squadrons of Japanese soldiers had been wiped out, and Zhang Muzhi and his men immediately retreated after seizing the supplies!

However, after they retreated to a relatively safe place, Zhang Muzhi and his men stopped.

The second brother didn't understand what his eldest brother was doing, so he asked, "Big brother, this place isn't particularly safe. Let's move further away."

Zhang Muzhi shook his head and said solemnly, "They helped us out, so we should give them something in return."

After hearing this, the second brother didn't say anything more, after all, one should be loyal to others!

Unfortunately, they waited for an hour, and the team had already finished resting, but no one came.

Zhang Muzhi sighed and said, "Let's go, they're not coming."

Although the second, third, and fourth brothers were somewhat disappointed that they wouldn't be able to meet the legendary Yama, they still gained a lot from this trip, which will make their future days much easier.

……

Wang Yue and Yu Manli certainly didn't care about the supplies Zhang Muzhi had seized, since Wang Yue's space contained plenty of fish and meat looted from bandits, enough to ensure they had enough to eat and drink.

It's quite a spectacle that Yu Manli actually gained weight after the Battle of Nanjing began.

The Battle of Nanjing lasted for nine months. Over the course of a year, Wang Yue and Zhang Muzhi encountered each other many times and helped each other out on numerous occasions. Wang Yue's forces were largely unaffected by the conflict with Manli, but Zhang Muzhi's men continued to grow, now numbering nearly a thousand.

In fact, this war was never supported solely by Chongqing; other forces were also constantly wearing down the Japanese army.

In particular, in Yan'an, the base areas they established directly behind enemy lines used guerrilla warfare, sparrow warfare, and tunnel warfare tactics to deplete a large number of Japanese troops, making it very difficult for their troops to move quickly and transport supplies.

However, apart from those from Yan'an, the other reinforcements were equipped with relatively outdated weapons, which made them easy to defeat. This is also why Zhang Muzhi was able to continuously gather people.

As the saying goes, prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat. Although the defenses around Nanjing were extremely strong, they could not withstand the attack from 30 elite Japanese troops and the gradual loss of air superiority. The 50 defending soldiers were ultimately unable to hold out and had no choice but to retreat.

Fortunately, by this time, the vast majority of Nanjing's residents had already retreated to Wuhan, with only a very few who were unwilling to leave remaining.

Although the Japanese recently managed to breach the city walls, they also gained an almost empty city, devoid of even basic necessities.

The reason the Japanese were so slow in their attack was because the mouth of the Yangtze River was blocked. Not only were large warships unable to come to assist the Japanese attack, but the Japanese supply transport was also slowed down considerably.

Moreover, because the Japanese did not encounter any further attacks after their aircraft carriers escaped to a distance of 100 nautical miles, they always kept their carriers at least 100 nautical miles away when they launched an attack.

The transportation of supplies was carried out with great care, which slowed down their logistical support and gave the soldiers who participated in the defense of Nanjing this opportunity.

Although Wang Yue and Yu Manli remained outside of Nanjing during this defensive battle, Yu Manli still witnessed the cruelty of the Japanese.

During the nine months the two fought side by side, the rifles in their hands gradually changed from ordinary guns to sniper rifles, and nearly 9 Japanese soldiers died under their combined fire and the robot sniper rifles.

On numerous occasions, when the Japanese had the upper hand and were preparing to seize the opportunity to launch a defensive offensive, their commanders were sniped one by one from a distance, giving the defenders the chance to annihilate the charging Japanese troops.

Because they used sniper rifles and always fired between 500 and 800 meters, they had time to retreat after each attack, giving the Japanese no chance to encircle and annihilate them.

After nine months of intensive shooting, Yu Manli had almost reached the point where she could hit her target every time, and she also cooperated very well with Wang Yue.

As for the sniper rifle bullets, they were of course produced by Wang Yue himself. He had stored a lot of them in his spatial warehouse, but he had the robots pretend to transport them over.

Seeing that the defending troops had retreated and Zhang Muzhi and his group were also planning to move, Yu Manli asked seriously, "Brother, what should we do next? Without the main force to hold us back, the two of us can easily be surrounded and wiped out."

Wang Yue looked towards Nanjing and said uncertainly, "Let's wait and see. If the Japanese only occupy the city and don't massacre people, we'll leave directly. But if they're going to massacre the city, we'll have to come to their aid."

Upon hearing Wang Yue's words, Yu Manli couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, "A massacre? Are they still living in a barbaric era? Aren't they afraid their crimes will be exposed?"
