The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"Brothers, take your positions and beat these bastards out!"

Jiang Cheng immediately yelled, turned around and ran out -

The air raid sirens had already sounded throughout the entire position. Because the Japanese army had dispatched a large number of aircraft this time, Jiang Cheng ordered more smoke signals to be deployed in the surrounding area to disrupt the fighter planes...

This time, Jiang Cheng really saw it clearly: the fighter planes dispatched by the Japanese army looked very much like the Type 97 bomber, and the accompanying ones actually looked very much like the Zero fighters that came several years later!
As expected, things developed as I expected. With the arrival of this time traveler, the development of various aspects in the Northeast was promoted... Therefore, even the development of Japan was accelerated.

The weapons and equipment that were supposed to appear several years later actually...

"Keep hidden, anti-aircraft guns, fire at me!"

The situation did not allow Jiang Cheng to think it over clearly, so he gave the order immediately.

Aerial reconnaissance planes quickly flew overhead and transmitted the coordinates of the Ji'an defenders' inverted eight-shaped fortifications and the Yalu River minefield back to the Japanese command center.

The sharp-eyed Zhang Xuecheng was at the artillery position at the time. He was the first to notice the small plane and immediately shouted at the anti-aircraft gun beside him.

"Captain Zhang, be careful!"

Seeing him shouting anxiously and irritably, without even doing the basic hiding and dodging, Pan Sheng immediately ran up and dragged him down... Almost as soon as the two of them entered the bunker, several Japanese bombers dived in a wedge formation, dropping incendiary bombs and high-explosive bombs alternately, and the entire Yalu River bank instantly turned into purgatory.

These fighter planes seemed to be determined to die. Facing the dense and even almost blind-angle firepower network, they dived towards the ground madly again and again!
Even though he was in the shelter, Jiang Cheng could clearly feel the heaven and earth outside shaking, and the continuous scorching air waves blowing in.

The Japanese fighter planes that attacked in such a desperate manner were naturally shot down one after another by the dense firepower network, and fell diagonally with long tails of black smoke dragging behind them.

"Damn it, there's something wrong with the Japs this time! They're clearly trying to risk their lives with us brothers!"

At this time, Zhang Xuecheng, covered in scorched earth and with smoking hair, rushed into the bunker and yelled at Jiang Cheng in an embarrassed look.

He didn't want to shout, but the earth-shaking explosion outside the bunker almost swallowed up all the sound.

The communications company rushed in and kept reporting that, with the Japanese air force suppressing fire, a forced crossing of the Yalu River began;

"Our air force has to go to Jilin Prefecture for replenishment. It is too far from Ji'an, so it will definitely not be able to reach the attendance rate of the Japanese air force—"

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his tactics in his mind.

Since the Japanese were risking their lives like this, it was obvious that they wanted to quickly break through the Yalu River beach and advance to the vicinity of Ji'an County.

They were so anxious that they must have tried every possible way to reinforce the Japanese troops in Fengtian Province and make a breakthrough in the Northeast.

He immediately ordered the entire army to retreat: he wanted to retract his fist and pull the Japanese from the Yalu River to the plains and defeat them.

When the troops received the order to withdraw, the Japanese army took the opportunity to force a crossing of the Yalu River.

When the tank rolled over the scorched earth, a chain of unexploded mines was entangled between the tracks... The explosion was still continuing, and the Japanese infantry had begun to advance continuously.

Obviously, they wanted to complete the iron barrel encirclement along the Ji'an County... The Type 92 heavy artillery was lined up along the river beach, and the muzzle elevation angles were uniformly calibrated to the critical point of collapse of the positions and fortifications, like the fangs of a giant beast pointing directly at the city walls of Ji'an.

There were reconnaissance planes flying over the sky, and the close-in defense guns aimed at the target and altitude, but these extremely fast planes were difficult to hit, and instead a lot of ammunition was wasted. At dawn on October 10, the Japanese army launched a coordinated infantry and tank charge.

"Even the damn Japs have learned this trick,"

Zhang Xuecheng cursed unconsciously, and Jiang Cheng had already given the order to fire; the two sides fired alternately, and the Japanese infantry jumped out of the trenches before the bombardment, but fell into the barbed traps that had been buried in advance.

The defenders hollowed out the bricks and stones into honeycomb-shaped shooting holes, and light and heavy machine guns formed a crossfire network. The thirty tanks in the front were instantly turned into burning iron coffins.

Japanese engineers attempted to break through the position and carry out blasting, but were instead burned by the splashes of tung oil from pre-buried bamboo tubes. Their wailing and artillery fire mixed into a strange symphony.

The tug-of-war between the two sides lasted for two full days and two nights, and the battlefield situation suddenly changed into a three-dimensional stranglehold... After the Air Force returned for replenishment, they quickly joined the battle and engaged in a tangle with the Japanese.

The brutal Japs even sent out hundreds of suicide squads with white turbans on their heads and naked bodies covered with ghostly symbols to charge forward.

With explosives and Molotov cocktails tied around their waists, they charged madly in the fierce fire network and pulled the strings collectively when they were close to the Northeast Army's infantry and tank coordination.

In the flames rising into the sky, even the Jilin army, which was used to fighting annihilation wars, suffered a lot - the gusts of wind created injured many brothers.

"Damn it, where's Ting Shu? Hasn't he arrived yet?!"

Seeing that these Japs were determined to fight to the death at all costs, Jiang Cheng turned around and growled at the signalmen.

As if his call was heard from afar, as soon as he finished speaking, a signalman who was deciphering the telegram shouted, "Navy, our navy has arrived."

As soon as he finished shouting, everyone heard a sound like muffled thunder coming from the direction of the Yalu River.

Sound of cannon!

It’s the sound of the “Jilin” ship’s guns!
Dazzling white lights rose from the river one after another, and the naval fleet coming from the Korean Bay suddenly opened fire at the Japanese positions in unison.

The series of shells, like candied haws, fell on the enemy's infantry and tank coordination as if the heavenly soldiers had scattered beans. These unfortunate guys only had time to turn their heads before they were killed instantly in this deadly scorching heat.

Large groups of Japs flew into the sky, some were torn into pieces, some were burned into charred corpses, and more were running around screaming with flames all over their bodies.

"Tell Tingshu the coordinates of the troops' advance, and let the brothers push forward."

Only then did Jiang Cheng let out a long breath——

While ordering the entire army to retreat, he also ordered the navy to come to support.

Damn, if the Japs can use infantry-tank coordination and air support, I can call the navy to bomb you bastards.

The impact of the naval guns not only killed a large number of Japanese soldiers who had nowhere to hide, but also cut off their communications in the first moment.

I have never seen such multi-dimensional firepower coverage. The ship's guns continuously raised water columns that soared into the sky. In accordance with Jiang Cheng's orders, the main and secondary guns began to bombard the Japanese troops on the north bank together;
The huge waves caused by the crossing of the warships broke the floating bridge. The Japanese soldiers who fell into the water were swept by the turbulent current to the Yalu River covered with floating ice and were soon swallowed up by the turbulent river.

The Japanese commander on the north shore was trembling all over. He had never seen such a tough nut to crack.
Muto Nobuyoshi kept giving orders from the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Fengtian, asking them to "send reinforcements to Fengtian" at all costs... But now it seems that this task is impossible to accomplish. (End of this chapter)
