The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Seeing Jiang Cheng turn around and stand in front of his subordinates including Sun Zhengnan and Li Shitou and start to summarize the "tactics", Zhang Hanqing felt more and more unhappy.

No matter what, the Third and Fifth Legions were also under his command. Jiang Cheng was so cold-blooded that he used the troops as "live targets"... and went to train his own army!
But he knew very well that the battle at Lianshan had dealt a heavy blow to Guo's army through bombing, and he had to admit that it was a very beautiful fight, with a bit of the flavor of winning without bloodshed.

So even though he was extremely unhappy, Zhang Hanqing still chose to keep quiet when Jiang Cheng discussed tactics with his subordinates.

After all, he was the one who caused such a huge disaster. Everyone has the right to lose his temper, except him - it seems, no, not at all.

"So after this war is over, we in Jilin must continue to strengthen industrial construction..."

After the tactical discussion, Jiang Cheng began to summarize, "Only a strong enough industrialized industrial chain can enable our troops to exert their greatest power."

Sun Zhengnan also said: "Yes! Suppose we can increase the amount of bombs this time and destroy the entire railway from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou——"

"As a result, the reinforcements and logistical supplies of Guo's troops will not be able to keep up."

In fact, Jiang Cheng had considered at first to let the bombers destroy the railway along the line instead of concentrating all the bombing on Lianshan.

But now, this section of railway is still under the jurisdiction of the Japanese. If it is damaged, wouldn't it give the Japanese a reason to interfere in the war?

"What if the Japanese army causes trouble? You think it's easy."

While they were coordinating, Zhang Hanqing suddenly said for no reason, "Jilin has been quite peaceful without the Japanese, but we have to consider Fengtian Province--"

Jiang Cheng turned his eyes slightly and glanced at him indifferently.

He smiled and continued calmly, "Han Qing is right... Over the years, the Japanese have found many excuses to deploy troops in various parts of Fengtian Province."

"It was our handsome man who had been dealing with the Japanese all along, and only then was he able to control their continuous infiltration."

After saying these words, Jiang Cheng saw that his expression had improved a little, so he continued: "So in this battle, we have to be on guard against the devils."

"Wang Zhiyou's troops are resting - I plan to hand over the defense of Jinzhou's inner city to them!"

"Especially the two Japanese settlements in Jinzhou. We must guard them strictly and never let them cause trouble at the critical moment."

Jiang Cheng turned his gaze to Li Shitou again: "Shitou, the brothers sent out these days must be on guard against the Japanese garrison near Jinjiatunzi!"

Li Shitou immediately saluted and said, "Yes, Master Jiang!"

As the war progressed, he had a feeling that with the current strength of the Jilin Army, coupled with the equipment continuously transported by rail, they had a great chance of defending Jinzhou and then counterattacking Guo Songling.

But the Japanese have been deliberately looking for ways to expand their influence in the Northeast for many years. How could they not take advantage of the situation at this time?
If a fighting breaks out in Jinzhou, and the Japanese army uses excuses like "protecting overseas Chinese" to directly "pour" troops into the city, will he fight or not?

Zhang Hanqing was also infected by his gradually nervous expression, and asked unconsciously: "Will the Japanese really come?"

Jiang Cheng turned around slowly, his eyes fixed on the sand table of the entire Feng Province.

"No matter who they are, I will make sure they never come back!"…………

On that day, Guo Songling, who had survived the heavy bombing, retreated in a panic with the remnants of his troops who had rushed into Lianshan.

After joining up with the troops that had caught up, these officers were all extremely shocked to see their commander-in-chief and their brothers become like this.

Originally, they belonged to the Fengtian Army. When Guo Songling first shouted the slogan "Support Xiao Zhang", these officers did not feel so uncomfortable when they "rebelled".

But now it’s different... Everyone knows that the young marshal has brought his men to quell the rebellion and is stationed in Jinzhou City.

However, this Guizi Guo had no intention of "supporting him" at all. Instead, he turned his face even more completely.

So many people began to feel uneasy. Now they saw that even a fierce man like Guo Guizi suffered such a huge loss. It shows how terrifying the real strength of the Zhang family is!
Do you want to rebel again?
If the Zhang family’s troops were to be wiped out, their entire family would probably be killed!
Morale quickly dropped, and some officers even took advantage of Guo Songling's reorganization of the army to quietly desert with their brothers and escape towards Jinzhou.

After hearing the news, he quickly calmed down from his brief anger and even sneered: "No wonder they are such a mob! But if we get rid of those with weak wills, we will be more likely to win the battle."

After saying this, he quickly buried his head in the map and quickly formulated a battle plan.

That night, under the heavy bombardment of the Third Corps' artillery fire, Gaoqiao, known as the southern gate of Jinzhou, was engulfed in flames.

The person guarding this place is Sun Liechen's adopted son Sun Jiunian. He has much of his adoptive father's style. He is never afraid of death in battle and always rushes at the forefront. The soldiers he leads are also ready to die.

After this somewhat satisfying round of artillery fire, Guo's army's first charge began.

When Sun Jiunian saw these people rushing towards him in a large number, he first shouted and opened fire at the multiple machine gun positions.

Not only that, the fortifications on the position also opened fire together, and with the coordination of trenches and barbed wire, the fire network instantly turned every place in sight into a sea of ​​death.

But at the same time that several camera positions were exposed, the mortars that Guo Songling had already deployed also opened fire.

These gunners had terrifying accuracy. With a series of crisp bangs, the cannons drew arcs when fired and fell into the sandbags at a very tricky angle.

Several machine gunners immediately took to the air, and the charging team, taking advantage of the cover of artillery, had almost reached the front of the position!
"It's really terrible..."

Sun Jiunian spat on the ground, then raised his rifle and fired, shouting, "Aim and shoot! Don't let any of them come over here—"

At this time, the brothers could no longer hold back. They stuck their guns out of the trenches and fired bullets at the enemy troops rushing towards them.

Rows of people fell again. With the support of multiple firepower, the first round of charge was quickly repelled.

But the second round of charge was much faster than the one Sun Jiu launched last year, and what was even more terrible was... there were actually seven tanks following the second wave of infantry!

This is what the Marshal got from the Japanese last year. Almost all of it has been delivered to the Fifth Army, and he plans to put it into battle when he attacks southwards...

However, they never dreamed that Guo Songling would come back with tanks! (End of this chapter)
