Chapter 1078 Ammunition Falling from the Sky
Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming landed not far from them.
Just then, a heavily wounded soldier sat on the ground, leaning against the city wall to rest, and inadvertently saw a flashing red dot in the sky falling from the distance.
Despite the immense pain he was enduring, he gritted his teeth and struggled to crawl toward the red dot.
Meanwhile, the two men who landed quickly loaded their guns, ammunition, and medicine onto the carriage.
Jiang Wenming cautiously observed his surroundings, then led the lead horse forward.
The horses behind followed the carriages forward on their own.
However, they hadn't gone far when a furious shout rang out, "Halt! Who dares to trespass here? Take another step, and don't blame me for being impolite!"
The wounded soldier, struggling to crawl forward, used the remaining light from the artillery fire to illuminate the path ahead and finally saw a figure leading a horse towards them.
Without hesitation, he lay down on the ground, raised his gun, and stood ready for battle.
The wounded soldier's anxious shouts alerted the other wounded soldiers who were receiving treatment.
Ignoring their own injuries, they grabbed their weapons and rushed towards the scene.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became extremely tense, and a fierce conflict seemed imminent.
Faced with the sudden turn of events, Jiang Wenming quickly stopped and raised his hands high to indicate that he had no hostile intentions.
Then, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brothers, please don't misunderstand! We've been entrusted by someone to come and deliver supplies!"
Standing to the side, Luo Tan frowned, his eyes fixed on Jiang Wenming and the others.
After a while, his comrade beside him whispered, "Company Commander Luo, this person said they came to deliver supplies. Do you think it's believable? At this critical moment, why would someone come to deliver things to us for no reason..."
Jiang Wenming continued loudly, "Our wagon is full of guns, ammunition, and medicine. Our men are also fighting the Japanese. There are only my niece and me here. Even if we were to launch a surprise attack, there would be more than just the two of us!"
The wounded men helped each other as they reached the wagon. Looking at the wooden crates on the plank cart behind them, they shouted excitedly, "It really is ammunition! It really is support!"
Luo Tan put down his gun and asked, "Thanks, brother. What side are you from? You look a bit unfamiliar!"
“We are friendly forces. I can’t say which unit we are, but Wang Xiangchen and his men know me. Just tell your Commander Wang that our surname is Jiang.” Jiang Wenming said and then stepped aside.
"Quickly, I'll take the lightly wounded to deliver the weapons and ammunition to our brothers on the battlefield. Those of you who are more seriously injured, take the medicine to Dr. Xie for treatment!" Luo Qin directed everyone.
Jiang Wenming walked up to Jiang Jiyun and asked, "Should we go to the front lines or to the rear to treat the wounded?"
As the Japanese soldiers drew ever closer, Jiang Jiyun looked at Jiang Wenming and said, "Let's go to the south of the city. I just saw that they're almost over there!"
Just then, something extremely bizarre happened, leaving Luo Tan and his group speechless.
Luo Tan and the others, who originally wanted to lead the horses away, were astonished to find that no matter how hard they pulled on the reins, the horses stood firmly in place, as if they had been frozen in place.
What's even more surprising is that all the horses, as if they had planned it beforehand, turned their heads in unison towards the uncle and nephew.
Witnessing this scene, Jiang Wenming understood: clearly, these horses were unwilling to leave with the others.
So he quickly stepped forward and explained to the other party, "Uh~ I'm really sorry, these horses were all trained by the two of us, and they only obey our commands on weekdays."
Jiang Wenming awkwardly took the reins and said, "How about this, if you don't mind, let my niece and I pull them together. We also need to take the empty carriage back with us so you don't have to make another trip."
After he finished speaking, he gave an apologetic smile.
Hearing his uncle's words, Jiang Jiyun sighed helplessly and had no choice but to obediently follow his uncle to the front, take the reins, and lead the horse toward the designated location.
Chai Yong, in the trench, gripped the last grenade he had left, his gaze fixed on the group of Japanese soldiers who were launching another attack.
He muttered to himself, "Is it really true that I won't be able to wait any longer..."
However, at that moment, an excited shout suddenly rang out, "Battalion Commander, the ammunition support has finally arrived!"
Immediately afterwards, a soldier came running over, panting, carrying two heavy ammunition boxes, and quickly placed them next to Chai Yong.
As box after box of ammunition was delivered, Chai Yong excitedly shouted at the Japanese soldiers opposite him, "You little devils, today I'll show you what I'm made of! Brothers! Fire! Kill them all!!!"
"Da da da……"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
"boom!"
Just now, the Japanese soldiers who were preparing to launch their final assault were suddenly shocked to discover that the firepower on the opposite position had become unusually fierce again.
Their men fell one after another, and the charge lasted only a few minutes before they retreated.
"Baka! What's going on with these guys? Why is their firepower so strong? Didn't we say before that the support troops had been successfully blocked? Could it be... that this sudden barrage of ammunition really fell from the sky?" The commander, who was observing the battle from behind the Japanese lines, questioned those around him with uncontrollable rage.
The attack started at 1:30 a.m. and time has been ticking away. In the blink of an eye, the battle has lasted for nearly two hours.
To their dismay, they have yet to breach this seemingly vulnerable position.
A colonel next to the commander looked ahead through binoculars and said, "Our information is that this is a unit abandoned by the National Revolutionary Army. The commander was a student of the Whampoa Military Academy. Even if they are good at fighting, it's useless. How could a unit that is not favored by the higher-ups have such a large amount of ammunition?"
"Immediately order the artillery to prepare for attack. First, launch a fierce bombardment of their defenses, and then we will launch a full-scale assault! No matter what, we must capture Xuancheng before dawn!" Kimura ordered through gritted teeth in a fit of rage.
"Hayi!"
Upon hearing this, a messenger turned and left as if granted a pardon, hurrying off to deliver his superior's orders.
Seeing that more than a dozen carts had finished unloading their goods, Jiang Wenming pulled the horse-drawn carriage, carrying Jiang Jiyun, and headed south along the city wall.
Luo Tan and the others joined the battle without having time to see them off.
