The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"If Jinzhou is lost, I will report it immediately and relieve you of your command!"

Jiang Cheng's voice was full of certainty, which completely shocked his father... He had never thought that his son would have such thoughts. If he did not obey his orders, or if he lost the irrelevant Jinzhou, he would drag himself to be "buried"!
"Feilan, you..."

Hearing his father's frustration, Jiang Cheng's voice did not soften, but became several times stronger: "The current situation in Jinzhou is not optimistic - I still say that once Jinzhou is lost, Rehe will be threatened at all times."

"You have to know that our industrial base is in Mongolia. If we lose Jinzhou, all our industries will be burned down by their artillery fire... The Japanese fighter planes are fierce and they can also drop incendiary bombs. If they attack Kulun, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Father, I don't want our hard work to turn into ashes in the flames. If you..."

Having said this, Jiang Lanxuan finally responded in a strong voice: "As you command, Commander Jiang! Rehe troops, go to Jinzhou for rescue immediately."

Jiang Cheng was shocked.

The call was hung up.

The pressure was so intense because the situation in Jinzhou was not just caused by the Japanese.

In addition to the Japanese fighting in the front, weapons, equipment, and even cotton clothes were in short supply in the city... Before the war, he ordered all levels to take inventory of equipment and count soldiers and personnel;
But when the fighting really started, they found that there was a serious problem of empty pay in Jinzhou, and there was a shortage of weapons and equipment. Especially when the ammunition boxes on the front line were opened, they were surprised to find that two-thirds of them were filled with stones!

Moreover, during this period of time, Jinzhou had been deeply infiltrated by the Japanese. When the battle started, chaos soon occurred in the inner city:

A group of Japanese ronin with white cloth tied around their heads, bayonets in their hands and explosives tied to their bodies rushed around killing people - when they met the Jinzhou defenders, they screamed and blew themselves up.

At this moment, the land of western Liaoning was shrouded in haze, and the Japanese army's iron hooves trampled on it wantonly... The villages around Jinzhou were burned, killed, and looted, with corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.

Sun Jiunian led his brothers with a determined look in his eyes, repelling the enemy's attacks time and time again.

But after waiting for several days and no rescue came, he looked at the Japanese army tents outside the city that were increasing like mushrooms after rain, and his heart was filled with grief and unwillingness.

"Brothers, behind us are the people of Jinzhou. Even if we risk our lives, we cannot let the Japanese invaders enter the city!"

His voice was particularly loud in the cold wind. Although the soldiers around him were frightened, they tightened their guns in their hands when they heard their superior's words, with a hint of determination in their eyes.

The war was raging, bombings were going on every day, people were in panic, and everywhere they looked were people packing up their belongings and fleeing with their elderly and children.

The streets no longer have the prosperity and peace they once had. Black smoke continues to rise from the ruins, and occasionally, shrill cries can be heard.

However, someone stood up at this time. Zhao Wenqing, the principal of Jinzhou Middle School, looked at his hometown in the war with a face full of anxiety.

He was extremely anxious and knew that he was powerless, but his burning heart told him that he must not sit still and wait for death.

With a few enthusiastic students, they found the Chamber of Commerce and contacted various factories and schools, calling on everyone to contribute money and manpower to drive the Japanese away, otherwise there would be great suffering and everyone would suffer.

People couldn't even imagine what would happen if the Japanese invaders broke into the city because their wives, children and the elderly were all in the city.

Therefore, under the organization of Zhao Wenqing, an anti-Japanese support team composed of students, workers and chambers of commerce was established. They were responsible for transporting supplies to the soldiers on the front line and taking care of the wounded... Soon, more and more people stood up, took up arms and did what they could.

However, the fighting on the front line became increasingly fierce, and the Japanese artillery fire continued to bombard the defense line of Jinzhou City.

The casualties of the defenders were getting worse and worse, but they still resisted tenaciously. On the sixth day of the battle, the Japanese army launched a surprise attack under the cover of night. Sun Jiunian personally led all the soldiers to engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

Under the moonlight, the cold light flickered and the shouts of killing were deafening. Sun Jiunian wielded his sword, slashing left and right, killing the Japanese army and forcing them to retreat step by step.

However, the Japanese reinforcement troops seemed to be endless. Under the cover of artillery fire, they continued to attack like a flood and beast.

Even this usually brave general gradually felt overwhelmed.

"Father, you... wait for me, I'll come back to see you after I kill a few more devils!"

Sun Liechen's determined gaze flashed before his eyes. Sun Jiunian, who was almost covered in blood, picked up the still shining saber, and his ferocious face showed courage.

He tore off his military cap with the blue sky and white sun on it and shouted at his brothers who were gasping for breath: "Brothers, go chop up the Japanese dogs!"

He was covered in blood as if bathed in the power of the goddess of battle. He let out an earth-shaking cry and rushed out first viciously.

Those brothers who were still suffering saw that their superiors had taken the lead, and they also made up their minds, jumped out from their positions madly, and rushed forward in an unstoppable manner.

"Damn Chinese, destroy them all!"

Just as the Japanese leader was waving his chrysanthemum saber and giving orders, Jiang Lanxuan's subordinate Yang Hong finally arrived with the reinforcements.

The dazzling machine gun fire opened fire behind the Japanese. Before they understood what was happening, they only had time to be stunned before they were beaten into a pulp by the layers of firepower.

Then, several incendiary bombs landed on the Japanese positions, and the shells filled with heavy incendiary agents exploded one after another.

The fierce and blazing fire was like the ghost fire in the Yama Palace, suddenly opening its devilish hands and hugging all the ghosts around it one by one.

"Brothers, charge!"

Seeing that there were still Japanese soldiers in Jinzhou City, Yang Hong led his troops and rushed towards the city gate.

This round of counterattack was so fierce that it frightened the commander of the opposing Japanese regiment: especially when they realized that reinforcements had arrived from the periphery, they had no choice but to retreat.

"Nine years—how about that?"

After reuniting with Sun Jiunian, Yang Hong ordered his men to clear out the enemies in the city while rushing forward to check on his injuries. "My dear, how badly have you been injured?"

What a fierce general he was. There wasn’t a single piece of healthy skin on his body, and his blood had even dyed his uniform red - how did he manage to fight for several days with such serious injuries?

"It's okay, it's just a small wound, just wipe it off."

Sun Jiunian forced himself to fan his hands, "Are you... Old Master Jiang's subordinate? I, I think I've seen you before!"

Yang Hong hurriedly supported him: "We saw it when Sun Liuye celebrated his birthday. Brother, we are all family. Don't hold on any longer. Come on, go in and bandage your wound!"

"Don't worry, Fei Lan has given the order. I brought a lot of brothers and equipment this time... If Jinzhou cannot be defended, he will kill people and burn them!" (End of this chapter)
