The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

This time when he entered the country, Jiang Cheng brought all the main battle weapons except tanks, even two quite intimidating German Fokker E aircraft.

During World War I, the mainstream aircraft were biplanes with two seats, while the Fokker E fighter was a single-wing, single-seat aircraft with better flexibility, but it also had the disadvantages of insufficient stability and difficulty in control.

Because Jiang Cheng began to import large quantities of European military surplus supplies in late 1916 - many German soldiers also entered the Northeast in batches along with these imported materials.

From the very beginning, Jiang Cheng knew that these people would be useful: Germans are generally well educated, and Prussian soldiers have a considerable level of combat capability and professional skills.

Jiang Cheng incorporated them into his team, not only transforming them subtly from the ideological point of view, but also allowing them to play their due role:
For example, tank drivers, pilots, trainers, etc., many of them are Germans.

The two Fokker planes were also piloted by German soldiers.

On the battlefield of World War I, the Fokker E was unrivaled.

Because it has a shooting coordinator that enables machine gun bullets to be fired forward through the propeller.

At that time, other fighter planes did not have shooting coordinators, so in addition to the pilot, a special shooter was required to operate the machine gun and fire outwards. When shooting, great care must be taken not to damage one's own machine.

The Fokker E, on the other hand, could easily attack targets in the nose direction, creating a brand new air combat mode and also creating a nightmare for Allied pilots. Statistics show that after the appearance of the Fokker E, Allied pilots would not survive more than six weeks on average after going to the battlefield!
What's even worse is that, although this type of aircraft is difficult to fly, its various performances, especially its climbing ability, are relatively abnormal in this era.

And the biggest point of German manufacturing is that the quantity is large, the tubes are full, the skin is thick and solid.

Not to mention that the Zhi army had no anti-aircraft guns capable of shooting down planes. Even if all the weapons that could be aimed were concentrated in the sky, there was no way they could touch the two of them!

This large army that encountered Hai Pingchuan was destined to be in bad luck.

When two fighter planes trailing black smoke appeared above the large army, all the Zhi army soldiers were stunned!
I did see some biplanes wobbling past overhead, but most of them were just reconnaissance, occasionally dropping some bricks or grenades with little lethality.

However, the two machines in front of them were much larger than any they had ever seen, and they were painted black. With the strange humming mechanical sounds, they looked like demons that had suddenly descended.

Of course, it was really a demon... At the moment of diving, a large number of bullets were like a rain of fire, and instantly dragged a dazzling "fire trench" on the ground as if crawling on the ground.
And wherever this fire trench extends, there will be blood and flesh flying everywhere accompanied by screams!
The formation of the Zhi army was instantly thrown into chaos: this three-dimensional combat supported by the air force gave a loud slap in the face to those arrogant warlords who still attempted to use their superior numbers to completely surround and beat up the Feng army on the Chinese battlefield in 1919!

However, as the first slap in the face was still rising, all the large-caliber field guns on the Haipingchuan artillery array began to roar at the same time. Countless shells drew deadly arcs, constantly creating explosions and flames.

The entire ground was bombed so badly that not even any weeds were left. The soldiers who were lucky enough to hide in the deep trenches were either burned to death or shocked to death, or almost buried alive by the overturned soil.

The commander of the team had only one thought in his mind: escape!
How are we going to fight this war? Damn it, God has no idea how, in just two short years, these Tartars, horse bandits and bumpkins outside the Great Wall have things flying in the sky... and bombing the ground so fiercely?
How can we fight this war? If we continue, all our brothers will be turned into rotten meat!

However, Hai Pingchuan was not going to give them a chance to escape. Any large army that went out of the city to fight had to achieve a strategic goal.

Just like when Guo Xipeng set out from the outer city of Jinan to fight Xu Shuzheng... he would definitely beat him to death and drive him out of Shandong.

And this time, Jiang Cheng's death order to Hai Pingchuan was to defeat the larger force with a smaller one, and to crush and annihilate them all, without letting a single person escape alive!
Facing an attack from a powerful enemy like Wu Peifu, it was necessary to do the opposite and give him a severe blow before he could organize a large-scale siege of the city.

He knew very well that even though Wu Xiucai had a grudge against Cao Saner, and had deep resentment against many of his colleagues in the Zhi army, he was still one of Cao Saner's most important generals.

Once he gains an advantage in Jinan, or if Cao Saner, the fence-sitter, sees the possibility of his defeating the Jilin army, the old man will surely immediately turn to support his trusted and beloved general.

By then, the Jilin army will probably face the "unity" of the entire Zhi army.

Whether he can defend Jinan by then is unclear. The key is to turn a battle that can be won with a little effort into a messy one, which will require him to invest more!
Therefore, Jiang Cheng ordered Hai Pingchuan to fight to the death and pull out all the advanced weapons that could be used. Practicing was one thing, but the key was to face the Zhi army in this battle and make them helpless!
When the smoke from the artillery fire cleared, all the Zhi troops on the battlefield heard the charge sound of the gathering army.

This sound had never been heard before: a tide of soldiers gathered from all directions, they were wearing uniform uniforms and arranged in neat square formations.

With flags flying and horses neighing and galloping in the lead, the soldiers behind shouted in unison and acted quickly at the command, charging at the enemy like a torrent.

On the vast battlefield, artillery and other heavy weapons provide powerful fire support, and deadly fighter jets carry out air strikes in the sky. The coordination of ground and air firepower forms a three-dimensional combat system.

The Zhi army, on the other hand, simply could not adapt to this tactic that had transcended the times... Officers at all levels were frantically shouting for assembly and firing;
But too many soldiers were killed as soon as they poked their heads out, and the artillery fire had already caused heavy casualties, so almost no one on the Zhi army's position was willing to continue fighting;

Some people even ignored the tough orders of the supervision team and began to drop their weapons, take off their military uniforms and run for their lives.

Once the rout begins, the entire formation will be in chaos.

The people in front ran backwards, and the team behind became more chaotic. The officer in the bunker looked through a telescope and saw the mess. However, the Jilin army led by Hai Pingchuan was already close to them!

Before they could decide on an escape route, the vanguard had already broken through their front line.

The Ji army gave up shooting and started slashing and stabbing wildly with the sharp swords in their hands!

Blood and flesh flew everywhere before his eyes, and the unfortunate commander was so frightened that his pants were filled with blood. (End of this chapter)
