The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"It's Master Jiang!"

"Master Jiang is here with his men to support us!"

The entire battlefield was instantly filled with cheers.

The soldiers who had long been exhausted by hand-to-hand combat were instantly infused with strength;

The Japanese soldiers, who had almost used up all their strength, were so shocked when they saw the Northeast Army coming like a tide that they lost their will to fight in an instant.

Li Shitou, who was in the lead, let out a fierce roar, carried a submachine gun and a bayonet, and rushed into the group of Japanese first.

Their fierce and heroic appearance was almost no different from the brave generals of the Three Kingdoms who had fought in and out of the battlefields seven times; moreover, the Jilin Army Guard Brigade was the best-equipped unit of the Northeast Army and even in the entire China.

From full steel helmets to bulletproof vests and combat boots, as well as submachine guns, bayonets, and individual grenades, they were almost armed to the teeth.

In addition, each soldier was carefully selected from hundreds of thousands of troops. No matter from which perspective, they were able to completely crush the Japanese.

In the blink of an eye, the leading Japanese officer realized the ferocity of this unit and quickly ordered his men to retreat.

But at this time the pontoon bridge had been sunk again by the Northeast Army, and they couldn't even retreat back.

"Warriors of the Empire, the time has come to serve His Majesty the Emperor!"

The officer let out a sharp roar and was the first to charge forward with his light machine gun; but his voice was too loud and he was noticed by Li Shitou's subordinate Li Wei first, who pulled out his pistol and shot him down with a bang.

These devils were panicked for a moment, but the roar of "Emperor" was like a shot in the arm, giving all the Japanese soldiers present the courage to fight.

The so-called last-ditch battle was a situation with no way out... These fierce and cruel Japanese became even more brutal when they realized that they might never be able to return to their homeland.

Some even detonated the grenades on their bodies and died together with the Northeast Army.

The battle suddenly became extremely bloody. Jin Yanxi hurriedly stopped Jiang Cheng and asked him to get closer: "Master Jiang, you are so precious. You can't let the Japanese hurt you..."

Turning around, he saw Huajiazi, whose head and face were covered in blood and cannon fodder. He looked so miserable, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.

Raising his hand and firmly grasping Jin Yanxi's shoulder, Jiang Cheng glanced at the chaotic yet controlled battle situation and couldn't help but frowned and said, "Old Jin! We are late. You and your brothers have suffered..."

Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Jin Yanxi felt a surge of admiration in his heart, and quickly said: "Master Jiang, why do you say that? Even if we really die on the battlefield, we will not hesitate--"

"You risked your life to come here, and I really don't know what to say... If you hadn't come in time, I would have been afraid of failing to live up to your trust and letting the Japanese invaders break into our Northeast."

The battle had already reached a fever pitch, but with the addition of the fully armed escort brigade, it looked like a one-sided situation...

The brothers fought and advanced, and soon killed the Japanese without any resistance. Even those who were lucky enough to survive were driven into the Yalu River.

Seeing that the Japanese troops on the opposite side were still gathering, Jiang Cheng felt something was not right and quickly ordered the entire army to retreat.

"Where are the close-in weapon systems we brought?"

While leading all the troops to evacuate one by one, Jiang Cheng shouted to Li Shitou, "Tell the communications company to pass on my order, and have Liang Guangxi and all his men prepare their ammunition!"

He had just finished speaking when the roar of an engine came from far away.

"Plane, damn it, it's a Japanese plane!"

Then someone in the retreating team shouted loudly, and the retreating crowd turned around and followed the sound. What came into view was Japanese planes flying in formation along the Yalu River in the sunshine.

Jiang Cheng involuntarily took a breath of cold air and immediately shouted at everyone to hide.

The air raid alarm was sounded in an instant on the third line of defense arranged by Jin Yanxi, and the alarm in the rear immediately responded... The entire position was immediately ignited with black smoke that disrupted the vision in the air.

The smoke signals, as thick as tree stumps, rose straight up and quickly spread in the air;
But these Japanese planes had gone crazy, and were obviously eager to avenge the Japanese soldiers who had just been "annihilated". They swooped down in an overwhelming manner, regardless of the trouble caused by the smoke signals.

“Hit, hit!”

Following Jiang Cheng's order, Li Shitou pulled out the signal gun and fired two shots into the sky.

The artillery formation opened fire immediately after receiving the order: all the anti-aircraft guns roared together, spinning left and right and firing at the sky.

The dense firepower network soon hit a Japanese plane, but the swooping fighter planes continued to fire at the brothers who had no time to hide, and some continued to drop deadly bombs.

"Hide—hide, be careful to hide!"

Jiang Cheng's voice was almost broken from shouting, but the ferocity of the Japanese fighter planes was beyond his understanding of this era.

In the chaos, Jin Yanxi's adjutant Yan Yushun threw him into the trench, but a fatal bomb landed near them. The fierce bombardment seemed like the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart with hellish fire, and the entire position was burned to a scorched earth.

"What the hell!?"

Jiang Cheng shook off the burning dirt on his body, and his eyes seemed to lose focus.

This was the end of November in 31. According to the development of the Japanese, there were no fighter planes with such performance.

But everything before my eyes was not a dream; the continuous explosions quickly pulled me back to reality.

"Master Jiang... this movement doesn't seem right!"

Yan Yushun, who was lying beside him, had blood gushing from his head, but after he shouted this, he was still frantically looking for his leader.

This bombing completely disrupted the situation on the position, and the retreating escort brigade also suffered considerable losses.

After the Japanese fighter planes flew away, Jiang Cheng quickly ordered to rescue the wounded - but at this time, a burst of artillery fire broke out on the opposite bank of the river.

Fortunately, Jiang Cheng's order was conveyed in time, and they quickly avoided the attack range of the Japanese artillery; otherwise, the second round of artillery fire would have covered them immediately after the bombing.

At this time, the battlefield was filled with smoke, the cries of comrades could be heard everywhere, and all that could be seen were the wounded and the bodies of those who had lost their lives.

Jiang Cheng was gasping for breath, even Han Ming was injured, and he led the guards to quickly surround them.

"Master Jiang, the communications company sent back a message... Zhang Xuecheng and Pan Sheng are leading the follow-up troops and are expected to arrive at Ji'an County in two hours!"

Jiang Cheng waved his hand to ask them to retreat. He turned around and shook off the scorched earth and shrapnel in his hair, then walked to the rear of the position with a cold and vicious face.

Something was clearly wrong... When they rushed to Ji'an, Jiang Cheng kept confirming some mismatched details from Jin Yanxi's report.

For example, armored vehicles, or tanks——

And now, the Japanese fighter planes roared past, clearly showing them their superior performance. (End of this chapter)
