The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Jiang Cheng did not rush to express his opinion, but calmed himself down, lowered his head and read the contents of the telegram carefully again.

Yun Wang was carefully selected by Jiang Dengxuan from Guanghan University and is definitely considered smart and capable.

Even though he didn't fully understand what was happening, he knew that the situation at the front line must be reported to the headquarters, and the clearer, more thorough and detailed the better.

So the second long telegram Jiang Cheng received described in detail what happened on the front line -

"This... is chlorine."

Jiang Cheng calmed down and quickly analyzed the specific situation from the battle report in front of him, "This is a highly irritating smell that can damage the respiratory tract and even cause death!"

Zhang Xuecheng was so angry that he punched the sand table in front of him, his face was greener than Jiang Cheng's: "These damn devils are really evil!"

"They actually use such shameless moves to attack us! If you have the guts, stop using these dirty tricks and fight us face to face. Let's see if we are afraid of them."

After saying this angrily, Zhang Xuecheng immediately straightened up and said to Jiang Cheng, "The Mechanized Mixed Brigade and the White Russian Regiment are applying to you for participation in the battle!"

After he said this, all the officers in the command expressed their willingness to go to Siberia to beat the Japanese.

Looking back at his subordinates who were united in their desire for revenge, Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and said, "I understand everyone's feelings."

"But the current situation...if we enter Siberia on a large scale to fight, I'm afraid it will disrupt the situation."

Originally, Jiang Cheng planned to use siege to force the Japanese in the Vladivostok area to leave by boat;

Or maybe the besieged devils became extremely vicious and contacted their brother troops scattered in other parts of Siberia to counter-encircle Jiang Dengxuan.

So when the war breaks out, they will have an excuse to send troops to fight back...

But now look, the Japs are very smart... They neither retreat nor dispatch troops from other areas. Instead, they use small-scale "gas warfare" to force their troops to retreat!

"If we push forward again, who knows how many chlorine gas bombs the Japanese will throw at us."

Jiang Cheng clenched his fists. "We don't have any countermeasures to chlorine gas right now... and since this is the first time we've faced such a situation, there will definitely be a brief panic, and there will definitely be a lot of casualties."

Wounded soldiers who have lost their combat capability will become a burden to the troops and affect the combat capability of the entire unit.

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyes and continued to think:

The poison gas brought more than just casualties to the troops. It was also a huge blow to morale.

The loss of morale among the troops is more fatal than a defeat in battle... He withdrew his gaze from the sand table and said again: "I think it's time for the White Russian Regiment to move out."

…………

On that day, the White Russian regiment led by Vasily Ivan changed their uniforms and rode out of Hunchun City on horseback.

In addition, another urgently organized medical team also quickly set off for Siberia.

But before the reinforcements from Hunchun arrived, another enemy force emerged from the Japanese base in Vladivostok.

This force was composed entirely of infantry, carrying field artillery, mortars, etc. There were about a thousand people, almost half of the garrison in the port.

It was late at night, and the Jilin troops, who had retreated in a somewhat embarrassing manner due to the poison gas, were busy settling the wounded, tidying up the temporary camp, and building new fortifications nearby.

Commander-in-chief Jiang Dengxuan has not woken up yet. Guo Xipeng, who is stationed on another important road, immediately sent troops to reinforce after receiving the battle situation here. He also set up more observation posts and patrol teams near his own camp.

In the quiet wilderness, apart from the faint chirping of insects in the tall grass, there was almost no sound.

July is the hottest time of the year in Siberia. After nightfall, a large amount of water vapor will diffuse everywhere, forming a very special light fog, which the locals call mist.

Several sentries huddled in an observation post near the camp, holding their rifles with nervous expressions, their hearts filled with fear and anxiety about the upcoming battle.

"What on earth are those things?"

A soldier who looked young but looked like dry bark due to the strong sun asked the squad leader, "But it's too damn scary. So many of our brothers fell down at once..."

"Although I'm fine, my throat keeps itching and I want to cough, just like I smoked too much tobacco!"

Another soldier also complained: "Yeah, brother, you have a lot of knowledge - tell us what that thing is?"

The squad leader glared at them and said, "I don't know shit! But we can see that the Japanese have poisoned the place..."

"The fog has a strange color, so I felt something was wrong. I quickly told you guys to cover your faces with towels and take a look. Am I right?"

Several people echoed him admiringly: "That's right, it's all because of your broad knowledge and experience, big brother, that we didn't get into any trouble!"

The squad leader smiled smugly and said, "I'll tell you something from now on, when a real fight breaks out you'll have to listen to me. Also, after we win this war, quickly find a place to live and get some sisters."

Tsk tsk, Cuixi Tower is a great place, we...

"Alright, alright, stop dreaming, hurry up and look around, don't let another group of devils come - I always feel like these devils are weird, I can't handle them, eh?"

As soon as he turned his gaze to the distance of the observation post, he vaguely felt something was wrong.

"That is……"

Just as he was sure that he saw the reflection of the bayonet, the squad leader let out a loud cry.

Countless devils rushed out at once! They had been huddled in the damp and cold mud for some time, waiting for the opportunity to attack!

"Dudu!"

While roaring back, the squad leader put the whistle in his mouth and blew it immediately!

This steel whistle made in the United States is a thing that every sentry has: the sound is sharp and is particularly penetrating at night.

However, his report aroused the anger of all the attackers, and several sharp bayonets stabbed at him.

He was hit in the neck, armpits, and even the chest and abdomen. He fell to his knees in pain, but he gritted his teeth and cursed "Damn it". Before he lost consciousness, he detonated the grenade at his waist!
A loud noise...

This fierce man who had fought for half his life ended in a dazzling explosion of light and fire.

Behind him, the entire camp had been alarmed, and flashlights were lit one after another. Leading the way was the regiment leader Bai Yunfang. Born a horse bandit, he wielded a huge knife and shouted loudly: "Kill them!"

However, the hand-to-hand combat had just begun when the cannons on the outer edge fired a volley, and the deafening roar cut through the sky, marking the beginning of the attack.

Heavy artillery fired continuously, and shells fell on the Jilin Army camp like raindrops, raising layers of dust and debris, and the whole earth seemed to be shaking. (End of this chapter)
