The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

The Japanese soldiers who had fought smoothly all night were stunned by the scene before them:

I have never seen such a desperate tactic. You know, since the advent of firearms, the combat advantage of cavalry is no longer what it used to be. A dense formation of firepower network formed by fully loaded ammunition belts can cause heavy damage to the cavalry in an instant.

But this is clearly not applicable to the current situation.

The iron hooves that broke through the front line were like a meat grinder in the newly formed machine gun array:
Everyone was wielding heavy sabers and slashing at high speed. The deadly impact caused chaos in the formation. Moreover, the Japanese soldiers were short in stature, and many of them fell to the ground in the sudden attack and were immediately trampled and had their stomachs pierced.

Even if he was lucky enough to have quick legs and managed to avoid the first round of charge, Feng Delin's cavalry was the foundation of his life. He taught and trained each cavalryman one by one, and they all showed amazing power whether charging or slashing.

The Japanese troops who were planning to attack Dapingzhuang were now being slaughtered. They raised their hands to block with their Type 38 rifles with bayonets, but were chopped down by heavy sabers. Some even had their heads chopped off.

Screams, cries of horror, howlings of ghosts... In the dim morning light, the Japanese troops that had been in formation were now flooded with blood, heads and arms were flying everywhere, they were trampled to the ground and turned into minced meat, and some of their eyeballs were squeezed out of their sockets.

Soon, this group of Japanese devils were defeated and the remaining ones fled in all directions; the entire farmland outside Daping Village was filled with dust and the smell of blood.

A cavalryman who had been on patrol outside the city came back, reined in his horse in front of Feng Delin, and shouted, "Third Master, the Japs are heading in the direction of Beidaying—"

Feng Delin's subordinate Pan Shan heard this and said, "I think it's very likely that they are dispatching troops... Last night, their main attack direction was Beidaying, and the Kwantung Army is stationed in Liutiaohu!"

Feng Delin nodded: "That's right. The noise yesterday was all from the Japanese Type 38 rifles. It seems that the bastards in Beidaying either ran away or were all attacked--"

"Anyway, if my son hadn't come to save them, they would have all been buried by the devils."

Another subordinate said, "Third Master, I think we should retreat together with the young master. The General Staff has issued an order not to resist... It is very likely that the troops in Fengtian City have also retreated!"

Feng Delin held the reins tightly and breathed heavily, his whole body trembling slightly.

In fact, it was not difficult to defeat these Japanese invaders. This old man led a few hundred cavalrymen and drove them away... If the local troops from Beidaying and Fengtian, plus Dapingzhuang, were added, they would most likely be driven out of the vicinity of Fengtian.

"What a bunch of wimps!"

Feng Delin only felt a surge of blood rising up in his throat. Even though Jiang Feilan had found him many good doctors and medicines over the years, such a battle still put too much strain on his heart and lungs.

His anger aggravated his physical discomfort. At this moment, he suddenly had a violent cough, and blood foam spurted out of his mouth and nose, shocking his subordinates around him.

"No, we have to quickly take the Third Master away—"

In fact, if Jiang Cheng had not helped him find medical treatment and take medicine for many years, Feng Delin would have died of heart disease several years ago.

But today's highlight battle brought his already weak body to the brink of collapse, and he almost fell off his horse before he could withdraw from the Dapingzhuang area.

"You... have to send people to protect the people of Daping Village and retreat."

Feng Delin tried his best to keep his composure and gave his last order before he fell into coma.

…………

The Kwantung Army attacked Beidaying at night, and its Second Division broke through Fengtian City!
On September 9, the Japanese army captured Siping and Yingkou. A telegram spread throughout China, especially alarming Zhang Hanqing who was in the capital.

As the chief commander of the north, and with his hometown outside the Great Wall, when he received the telegram, he felt as if the paper had electrified him. He shuddered violently and completely lost consciousness.

When the telegram paper fell to the ground, he looked around in confusion, as if he was looking for someone to help.

My father is gone, my uncle the assistant commander is gone, my mentor and helpful friend Guo Songling is gone...even good brothers like Jiang Cheng and Feng Yong are gone!
Standing high among thousands of people, Marshal Zhang suddenly felt lonely and incomparable.

"How could this happen? The Japanese, no, aren't they trying to stir up trouble? Are they planning to negotiate some benefits and conditions with me or the Northeast?"

Suddenly coming to his senses, he walked around the room frantically, cursing the bastard Wang Yize for deceiving him about such a big thing.

Zhao Xishun looked at the increasingly anxious young master and said, "Hanqing, we have to think of a solution now! Madam Wu said that the Japanese invaders broke into the brothel and burned, killed and looted, and they almost couldn't escape—"

Zhang Hanqing turned around, his eyes were red and veins were bulging.

Ever since his father was promoted to the Inspector General of the Three Northeastern Provinces, his family moved into the Daqinglou, which had been his home for many years... Now, even his home is gone!
Thinking of this, the officer suddenly shuddered.

If even his home was lost, then if the entire Fengtian City was destroyed, how could any of the common people’s homes be preserved?
Rushing to the phone, he held the receiver tightly for a few seconds, then answered the operator loudly: "Connect me to Nanjing!"

…………

"I knew he was in great pain right now. Moreover, as the commander-in-chief, he misjudged the situation. How could he still have the nerve to ask us for help?"

Jiang Cheng sneered into the phone and continued, "I know the situation in Fengtian very well - don't worry, the line between Rehe and Jinzhou remains connected, and the Jiang family's troops are ready to help at any time!"

"Don't worry, behind Jinzhou is not only Rehe, but also Chahar and Kulun Mongolia. I will definitely protect you."

Just as the entire Fengtian Province and other areas to the north fell one after another, Japan set its sights on Jinzhou.

There is a saying that "Whoever controls the Central Plains controls the world." Jinzhou, Xuzhou, Lanzhou... these three places are strategic locations for stabilizing the Central Plains and have been heavily guarded since ancient times.

Especially in the current situation, whether Jinzhou can be defended is related to the direction of the entire Northeast war situation.

The Liaoxi Corridor is the only land passage leading to the Central Plains. Once Jinzhou is captured, the gate of Shanhaiguan will be completely closed by the Japanese.

Even though Jiang Cheng had led everyone to complete the northward migration of industry and agriculture a year ago, if Jinzhou was captured, the Japanese would move northward to threaten his heavy industrial bases such as Kulun.

So after Sun Jiunian reported to him that Wang Yizhe and other Fengtian troops had withdrawn to Jinzhou, Jiang Cheng immediately made such a guarantee to him.

"Master Jiang, the two best things Jiu Nian has done in his life are following you and Master Liu!"

Sun Jiunian said with great admiration on the other end of the phone, "Look at it now. The people inside the Great Wall know that things are bad. Feng Province has been sieged by the Japanese invaders one after another... The higher-ups actually asked Nanjing for help!"

"Is this reliable? Damn it, it's your own land, but you don't protect it yourself, and you always think of using others as a pretext!" (End of this chapter)
