The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Jiang Cheng smiled with satisfaction.

You guys wouldn't think I was acting like a little kid, luring Guo Guizi all the way to Lianshan just to let his soldiers suffer from the cold, and only cause a few non-combat casualties, right?

We've put in so much effort, first evacuating all the residents, then preparing for battle in Jinzhou... How can we give up so easily?

In fact, Jiang Cheng had another very important purpose in suppressing the rebellion this time, which was to pull his brothers out for some training.

In addition, I plan to try out his various new weapons.

The best-equipped troops within the Fengtian Army were the two corps under the Young Marshal, and Guo Songling's command ability was well known to everyone.

If they can completely defeat Lao Guo with a small number of troops and new weapons, it will greatly verify their combat effectiveness.

"The bombing has just begun."

Jiang Cheng curled the corners of his lips slightly, turned his body slightly, and quickly exchanged glances with Sun Zhengnan, who was standing behind Zhang Hanqing.

…………

Fortunately, the heavy snow stopped just as the fourteen bombers that had flown from Kulun loaded their bombs, completed maintenance and were ready for battle.

The Fengtian Military Airport reported to Feng Yong that after more than two hours of hard cleaning by the ground service battalion, the airport was ready for takeoff.

"Let's go immediately!"

After learning the news, Jiang Cheng immediately ordered Xu Shuzheng to bomb Lianshan.

These fourteen bombers are named: H-01 fighter;
It was Jiang Cheng's German team that used the Gotha G III bomber, which was finalized in 1916, as a model and replaced it with a new 260-horsepower engine, which greatly improved the aircraft's reliability and sustainable flight capability.

Because of this, the bomb loadout of the H-01 reaches 600 kilograms.

Moreover, this bomber, like the prototype, is also equipped with a machine gun at the tail.

This newly added machine gun allows the bomber to counterattack in the air even if it is tailed by an enemy plane, changing the previous situation where the bomber could only passively take the attack.

However, for a mission like bombing Lianshan, there is actually no need to use machine guns to counterattack... or even no need to counterattack.

Given the bomber's flying altitude and speed, Guo Jun's ground firepower could not possibly cause any harm to it.

Therefore, this bombing team was completely fearless. In order to carry more bombs, they removed all the tail machine guns and bullets before setting off.

The dawn is breaking.

At this time, the soldiers of Guo’s army in Lianshan City were scattered and living in civilian houses.

The severe cold caused a lot of non-combat casualties and frostbite soldiers... Even those who managed to survive were in a miserable state. They tried every possible way to find things that could be burned to keep warm, and they had to huddle together to get through the cold night.

Woo…woo…woo!
In the distant sky, there seemed to be a faint strange whistling sound.

Guo Songling was falling asleep at this moment, and all he saw before his eyes was the raging flames of war and his brothers charging forward - to reorganize the Northeast and stand tall in China!
"what sound?"

The roar that was getting closer and closer woke him up. He jumped up from the warm earthen kang and felt as if the earth was shaking by the engine.

"not good!"

An extremely bad idea flashed through his mind. He didn't even bother to put on his cotton coat, and frantically called out to the guards and signalmen, "Get up, hurry up! Get everyone up!"

He rushed out of the landlord's house quickly. The rising sun shone on the snow, blinding him. However, the engine noise became louder and louder. Guo Songling rubbed his eyes vigorously.
The scene in the distance made him gasp. A formation of biplanes were roaring towards him!

"Oh no, is this an air raid?!"

The eyes of this former tactical instructor at the Military Academy quickly lost focus.

I've only heard of this kind of warfare in some European war materials...but being in it is a completely different matter!

"Air raid, it's an air raid!"

It was only two seconds before the fighter planes were close enough. Guo Songling found that the hatch on the belly of the plane suddenly opened.

They were certain of their combat purpose, and they immediately roared in all directions, hurriedly ordering all soldiers to find cover and evacuate the city as quickly as possible.

"Their targets must be the largest buildings. Stay away from them. Stay away! Stay away!"

Guo Songling almost shouted himself hoarse, but the terrible thing was that the soldiers had lit fires in the houses to keep warm, and it took them most of the night to finally warm up and fall into a sound sleep. Their vigilance had almost dropped to the lowest level.

After just a few dozen seconds, the first round of bombing had begun!

The bomb is an incendiary bomb recently improved by German experts, which has the "advantages" of high explosion intensity and large fire area.

However, precisely because of these characteristics, each fighter plane can only carry a maximum of four of these bombs, even if the tail machine gun and ammunition are removed.

The incendiary bombs brought by the fourteen fighter planes were equivalent to giving this former mentor a great gift before the official battle began!
Seeing the black bomb falling headfirst, Guo Songling instinctively threw himself towards a low wall.

Bombers flew overhead and explosions sounded one after another. Chaos had already begun in the firelight. Some people were screaming, some were running for their lives, and more people turned into firemen and ran around frantically.

"No chaos, no chaos!"

Guo Songling knew very well that with their counterattack ability, they could not cause any harm to these aerial killers.

Now he could only lead officers of all levels to find ways to maintain order and bring as many brothers as possible alive.

The fourteen fighter planes completed the bombing mission accurately according to the plan, and flew away in the direction of Kulun while reporting to the Jinzhou Command:
"I am the Jilin Air Force Eagle Squadron... Captain Lu Huaian reports to the headquarters:"

"The squadron has followed Commander Jiang's orders and dropped all bombs on various landmarks in Lianshan City, a total of fifty-six bombs."

After receiving the telegram, Jiang Cheng showed a satisfied smile.

In fact, in addition to these fourteen new bombers, there are also two reconnaissance aircraft in the formation.

As an "observer", the reconnaissance plane also brought back a good battle report - Lianshan City was almost destroyed. Under such epoch-making heavy weapons, the enemy was most likely in danger.

"Where did you learn these things?"

After listening to the report, the young marshal, as the commander-in-chief of this mission, turned pale.

Not to mention him, even Li Guangqi, the current highest-ranking Air Force commander in Jilin, was speechless after learning about the "battle record".

If this new three-dimensional combat method had been used with more bombs and a so-called carpet bombing, it is estimated that few people would have walked out of the city alive.

"You see, although our tactics are advanced, they also have certain shortcomings——" (End of this chapter)
