The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

It's similar to conventional combat. Even when it comes to tank battles, tactics are still important.

In the Battle of Gaoqiao, the tactics displayed by Guo Songling clearly showed that he had mastered the coordination between infantry, tanks and artillery - but Jiang Cheng was sure that no matter how smart this devil Guo was, he would never have imagined that temperature could also affect the performance of tanks.

The city walls were shaking, and soon flares were fired one after another into the sky... Of course, there was no need for flares anymore, because with the bright moonlight from the zenith, everyone could see the large number of advancing tanks.

It was definitely not the news that Sun Jiunian brought back during the Battle of Gaoqiao: These were not seven tanks at all. Under the cover of artillery fire, the infantry and tanks advanced like a tide. It was clear that the city defense outside Jinzhou could no longer hold out.

"Not urgent."

Jiang Cheng heard Sun Zhengnan calling the signalman, obviously intending to notify the brothers guarding the city outside to withdraw, so he immediately reached out and grabbed him.

Looking back at his slightly stunned expression, Jiang Cheng immediately added, "Get the artillery ready."

Artillery array?

Sun Zhengnan was even more surprised——

Even though the speed of the coordinated advance of infantry and tanks is much slower than that of cavalry, they are still in constant motion after all...

Moreover, they were always under fire cover. Although their incendiary shells were designed to deal with this kind of tactics, it was difficult to hit the target accurately!
"Just give the order. Guo Songling dared to deploy tanks in this weather. It seems... he has no idea about the performance of the tanks!"

Jiang Cheng sneered.

Knowing that the 3rd and 5th Corps were equipped with tanks, the Guard Brigade deliberately added anti-tank trenches and filled the shell craters with pebbles when assisting Jinzhou in building and maintaining the city's defenses.

In addition to some anti-tank chains, these stones also contained pre-buried mines specifically designed to blow up tracks.

Sure enough, when the tank was advancing, there were earth-shaking explosions in the crushed craters, and then the joints of the tracks were blown apart, and it immediately lost the ability to move forward.

"hateful!"

Seeing so many tanks being destroyed in this way, Guo Songling suddenly realized that Jiang Cheng was obviously prepared with equipment to deal with the tanks.

In a flash, he gave orders via radio, asking the tanks on both sides to turn on their lights and speed up, but also to pay attention to the craters ahead and to be careful to avoid them.

Soon realizing that Guo Guizi was not fooled, Jiang Cheng did the opposite and ordered the cavalry in Jinzhou to make preparations.

When Sun Liechen helped the Marshal conquer the Northeast, his most powerful cavalrymen were his cavalrymen.

Liu Runchuan was the commander of the cavalry regiment back then, so the most powerful force in Jinzhou was still the cavalry...but letting the cavalry deal with tanks was a surprise to everyone.

However, what no one expected was that as the tanks advanced, an alarming situation soon emerged.

After all, it is also a kind of machine. The cold weather soon caused serious impact on the engine circuit and other components... Due to repeated misfires, most tanks could only be restarted repeatedly, which seriously affected the advancement speed.

"Now, artillery, launch the attack!"

Realizing that the opportunity for a general attack had arrived, Jiang Cheng immediately let out a roar.

Almost at the same time as the signal was sent, the artillery regiment, which had set up burning shells in advance, aimed at the oncoming troops and launched a fierce attack!

In the blink of an eye, the team was overwhelmed by artillery fire... Just like the previous "masterpiece" of incendiary bombs, the intensive bombing quickly produced a large amount of flames.

People and horses were thrown to the ground, and there were screams again and again; the attack had to be temporarily delayed. "Master Jiang, good opportunity!"

Observing through the telescope, Sun Zhengnan suddenly realized that the cavalry attack that Jiang Cheng mentioned was now the best time.

"Since they dare to come, can we let them go back?"

Jiang Cheng sneered. At this moment, the sound of trumpets rang out around the city gate. The city gate was wide open. The cavalry that had been prepared long ago rushed out madly under the cover of the artillery array as if they had broken free from their reins.

The leader was Sun Liechen's adopted son Sun Jiunian - he had suffered a defeat in Gaoqiao, and his adoptive father was in critical condition, all because of this hateful Guo Guizi.

The Zhang family treated him well, but this grandson insisted on rebelling... The whole western Liaoning was in chaos, and Jinzhou was badly damaged!

In addition, the weather was cold and they were under pressure from his artillery fire, so they couldn't rush out to fight him face to face. This man with a strong temper was already full of anger.

Now that they could finally rush out and have a big fight with him, Sun Jiunian led the cavalry and charged towards the chaotic front of Guo’s army.

"not good……"

Suddenly realizing that Jinzhou had chosen to take the initiative to attack, Guo Songling shouted that something was wrong and immediately ordered his cavalry to charge.

But unlike Jinzhou, Guo’s cavalry had been frozen in the severe cold for several days, and supplies had not been delivered until now, let alone the cavalry... most of Guo’s war horses were frozen, and it was impossible for them to carry out a cavalry counterattack as he said.

Suddenly realizing that Jinzhou was likely to launch a counterattack, Guo Songling made up his mind and immediately ordered the artillery fire to be directed at Sun Jiunian!

"Commander Guo, what do you mean?"

The commander of the artillery regiment was stunned when he heard the order. He hurriedly shouted in the wind and snow, "Jinzhou has launched a general attack, but Commander Guo... our brothers have not withdrawn yet!"

Guo Songling immediately became furious and shouted at the regiment commander: "Asshole! Are you the commander-in-chief of the rebellion, or am I?"

"Just hit me when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

The captain looked worried, but he had to obey his orders.
In fact, Guo Songling knew better than him that if the opposing defenders came out at this time, it must be that the entire army would launch a general attack.

Although he knew that the ones defending the city were Zhang Hanqing and Yang Yuting, he had only gained some advantages on the windy and snowy night, but he had suffered serious blows in the others.

The defensive tactics in front of them were so beautiful, it was definitely not at the level of Zhang Yang and the others... If the opponents took the initiative to rush out now, they must be very confident.

Moreover, the opposing artillery dropped so many incendiary bombs that most of the infantry and tanks fighting in the front line would not be able to return.

In this situation, it is better to use your brothers as "bait" and die with them!

Just as Guo Songling's artillery regiment began to adjust its angle and aim towards the point of exchange of fire, Sun Jiunian, leading the cavalry regiment, had already rushed into the chaos.

Of course, Jiang Cheng’s artillery fire stopped attacking, and it would definitely not harm the brother troops.

These cavalrymen brandished sabers and charged forward amidst the flames of war that had not yet been extinguished.

Each steel knife was wielded with great force by these hateful soldiers, slashing at the living forces who were still dizzy and unable to react due to the intense artillery fire.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere. It was a thrilling battle for the bloodthirsty cavalry. (End of this chapter)
