The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

For the convenience of work, Hai Rusong set up his residence in the south of Siping City.

In addition to the government office, there is also a busy commercial street and a large tree-lined residential area nearby.

This kind of living environment is very comfortable in peacetime, but once a war breaks out, this prosperity becomes a nightmare.

When the battle broke out, every building and every alley leading to Hai Mansion became a fighting position for both sides.

A regiment of troops brought by Jiang Cheng, under the arrangement of Li Shitou, set up ambushes at two intersections, and also set up shooting positions outside the courtyard wall and on the roof.

As the rebels rushed towards Haifu, the battle began -

The first to roar were undoubtedly the machine guns, the muzzle flames continuing to burst into flames along with almost deafening explosions.

The first round of charge was repelled in an instant. The smoke and fumes that filled the streets made it difficult for almost every brother in Jiang Cheng's Guard Brigade to breathe.

"Damn it, you're really risking your life!"

As soon as Li Shitou cursed, a machine gun behind him opened fire from another direction.

"Boss, boss! This fucking voice doesn't sound right. Why is there a grenade..."

Before the subordinate could finish his words, he heard a loud bang behind him that shook the earth!

In order to guard against the rebels' attack, they set up a temporary position at the Haifu branch.

In other words, the positions are distributed in different directions, and when a real fight breaks out, they will have to deal with enemies rushing in from all directions. And even though they can support each other, there is still a certain distance between them.

But after the loud noise, Li Shitou and his subordinates felt a fierce heat wave sweeping over them at the same time!

"Brothers, pay attention!"

Li Shitou roared.

He fought off the first round of attacks, and for the time being he couldn't see any enemies coming forward, but there would definitely be a second, third, and fourth round...

He had to arrange for people to guard it before he dared to check the position that was under heavy firepower.

However, when Li Shitou trotted over with two guards, he was stunned.

In the narrow alley, there was no longer any temporary position.

The sounds of grenade explosions and gunshots intertwined, and the air was filled with fire and smoke, making this small battlefield of only about two hundred steps seem extremely chaotic and terrifying.

"Damn it, hold on, the enemy is coming again!"

Li Shitou clearly heard his subordinate He Guangquan shouting orders at the top of his voice, and in the flickering firelight, there were figures running.

"Good boy, all are great!"

But just as he finished his words, there was a crisp sound of collapse coming from the distance.

This is……

The sound of a mortar being fired.

His pupils lost focus for a moment, and the commander of the Guard Brigade, who had experienced many hardships, couldn't help but roar: "Hide!"

However, his roar was meaningless. The gunshots and explosions came one after another like a symphony without interruption, completely swallowing up his voice.

Shells landed one after another, exploding in the narrow streets, and the flames engulfed everything in an instant. Li Shitou, who was temporarily hiding, watched two of his brothers being blown to pieces, while the rest of them used every possible cover to hide when they realized what was coming.

The sweeping heat wave even made him feel that every inch of his exposed skin was roasted and oily. Those brothers who had luckily survived were like ants in a hot pot, being pressed tightly by the invisible pot, being dried out, melted, and turned into meaningless charred corpses!

Li Shitou struggled to stand up and was about to run up to check the situation and give instructions, but he heard Jiang Cheng's angry curse from behind him: "Fuck, there are mortars!?"

He was in the official residence and when he heard the sound of artillery shells exploding in the main hall, he rushed out of the door with Hai Rushong's guards.

He was still clear about the main combat weapons in Siping - rifles, grenades and other infantry light weapons were available in the armory of every camp, but mortars, heavy machine guns and other weapons with heavier firepower were all locked in the heavy weapons depot behind the office.

After discovering that all the heavy weapons inside were still there, Snow Fox took Li Shitou's troops and moved them all to Haifu.

"Hit me!"

The moment the guards rushed out, Jiang Cheng ordered the brothers on the walls and roofs, as well as those who had moved the heavy machine guns, to open fire together.

The dense stray bullets instantly formed a deadly firepower network, instantly even collapsing the walls of several nearby houses.

This is why Jiang Cheng did not allow the use of these heavy weapons immediately after the battle started:

During the Republic of China period, houses were basically made of earthen walls. Not to mention heavy machine guns, even ordinary pistols could easily penetrate a hole and harm the people hiding inside.

But he intended to protect the people under his rule, but the attacking rebels had no intention of doing so - and the war had already become so tragic, Jiang Cheng could only protect more people by stopping the killing through war.

The intensive shooting instantly dispersed the enemy formation, and the encirclement of Hai Mansion soon turned into a reverse encirclement.

Modern warfare is all about fire suppression. No matter how fierce the enemy is, they cannot withstand the firepower network of heavy machine guns in narrow alleys.

This high-density counterattack consumes a lot of energy, but the effect is immediate.

In less than half a minute, there was no living person to be seen in the opposite aisle. Thick smoke and dust were everywhere, and the choking smell of blood was everywhere.

"Master Jiang, you, you should just go back!"

After a round of counterattacks, Li Shitou said to Jiang Cheng fearfully, "I think this situation is not right. What if they ..."

Jiang Cheng interrupted him: "The shells have just landed in the yard, what's the big deal?"

"I think it's not a big deal to just stay here all the time—"

"Damn it, I want to see who is going to add fuel to the fire by giving all the mortars to the rebels!"

…………

Just when the Siping City was in turmoil, the large force led by Hai Pingchuan had already approached Siping's close defenses, and the first round of encounter broke out so suddenly.

This group of enemies was very strange. Although their fighting ability was not bad, after just one round of close combat, all their weapons misfired and they actually turned around and ran away!
Hai Pingchuan was stunned, but he realized in a flash that this group of soldiers were most likely planning to lure them into pursuit and thus delay their journey to Siping.

"Oh shit!"

Hai Pingchuan cursed inwardly and suddenly realized that the problem in the city was serious. Just as his master Jiang said, the Japanese had really intervened!
When he led his troops to Siping with all their strength, Jin Yanxi of Liufangzi and Wang Junshan of Zhengjiatun were also harassed to varying degrees by small groups of troops.

But their commander-in-chief had warned them in advance not to worry about any battles or troop deployments along the way and to head straight for Siping.

You know, the devil's goal is to reach out to Siping. (End of this chapter)
