The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

This shout is so inspiring that it makes your blood boil!
Even Xu Jingbin, who was suffering from blood loss, became excited by the man's voice.

More importantly, this shout evoked a memory deep in his heart: more than ten years ago, when he was still younger, he was studying at the Military Academy, following Guo Guizi and a group of brothers who shared life and death, charging into battle in Jinzhou and Siping...

"Could it be... Jiang Feilan!?"

Just as he suddenly stood up and looked through the tree shadows and snowy fields—

Amid the raging flames of war, countless soldiers armed with submachine guns suddenly appeared, and the valley was suddenly filled with blood and gore.

Li Shitou led his team to rush up first. After a round of shooting, their bayonets were unsheathed at the same time. The loud sound of metal friction startled the Japanese and made them scream.

They originally wanted to build a long and narrow defensive fortification on Tashan before the reinforcements from the interior arrived, and then rely on the supplies on the front line to drag the troops from the interior that came to support Jinzhou into a war of attrition.

Although they knew that the Northeastern Army's advantage was its heavy weapons and its ability to cover artillery fire, they forgot that when it came to hand-to-hand combat, the tall, strong and muscular men from the Northeast were something even the Russians would fear.

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

"Charge, charge!"

The Japanese commander wielded his saber, drawing an arc in the flames of war. The devils wielding Type 38 rifles rushed back as if they wanted to eat people.

Li Shitou, the leader, was the first to crash into the enemy group, and his broadsword knocked two bayonets away.

He took advantage of the situation and stabbed through the Adam's apple of the Japanese soldier on the left. At the moment when the blade was stuck in the cervical vertebrae, he pulled out the short bayonet at his waist and stabbed another Japanese soldier who was raising his bayonet to attack.

The blood instantly aroused all the fighting spirit of the men, and the sharp bayonets formed a large battle storm——

However, despite the close combat, the Northeast Army did not just charge desperately with cold weapons: under the leadership of Li Shitou, some people rushed forward to disrupt the enemy's formation;
The brothers following closely behind continued to shoot from the flanks with submachine guns at the Japanese soldiers who were trying to attack them. They coordinated closely with each other and there was no confusion at all.

The battle lasted for a full three hours. The dawn sunlight began to penetrate the snow-covered woods, and the entire snowy field was dyed dark red. The soldiers continued to advance, kicking over broken limbs and bodies, which were trampled into smelly mud along with bullet casings and broken bones by their military boots.

"The third battalion is responsible for cleaning up the battlefield. Be careful of the grenades on the Japanese who are not dead yet--"

Facing a ray of sunshine, Jiang Chengli shouted an order, "The rest of the brothers, follow Shitou to rescue the wounded! No matter if they are our brothers or not, as long as they are not wearing the Japanese army uniforms, they must all be treated!"

Jiang Cheng was not saying this nonsense, because the Japanese army liked to requisition or trick nearby civilians into going into the mountains to help them build fortifications... There were many similar incidents throughout the Anti-Japanese War:

However, the laborers who helped build fortifications and bunkers suffered a miserable fate - either they were disabled due to forced labor, or they were all shot after the completion of the work to ensure military secrecy.

There must be civilians who went up the mountain together, and there is a high possibility that they were injured by stray bullets in the chaos.

"Jiang Feilan? Is it really you?"

While giving orders, Jiang Cheng suddenly heard someone calling him from the woods in the distance... The guards around him were already on guard, but Jiang Cheng suddenly looked up and followed the voice, and his eyes immediately caught sight of the other person.

His brows furrowed slightly, he felt that the eyes were familiar, but he couldn't remember who they were for a moment;
However, the man trotted forward with difficulty, covered in wounds: "It's me—it's me! Xu Jingbin!"

Jiang Cheng was stunned.

No wonder the man looked so familiar, but with his full beard, I couldn't recognize him at all.

"Why is it you? This is such a coincidence..."

At this time, Jiang Cheng saw that the other party was covered with wounds, and hurriedly called the military doctor to treat him. However, Xu Jingbin ignored the wounds on his body, grabbed Jiang Cheng's elbow, and quickly analyzed the situation near Tashan with Jiang Cheng.

The situation was worse than he had predicted and imagined: not only did a large number of Japanese invaders land in Liaodong Bay, but Japanese troops also entered the Korean Peninsula.

"What are these North Korean soldiers doing? They are kept on the peninsula to hold back the Japanese and create a strategic buffer zone for us!"

Now, even Li Shitou started to curse.

Jiang Cheng chuckled, but he didn't agree with it in his heart.

He never thought that this group of people could hold back the Japanese... Even if he gave them more advanced weapons, the military proficiency of the Chao people was there.

Not to mention delaying the Japanese and establishing a buffer zone, it would be good enough to provide the Northeast with a certain degree of information on the Japanese's general movements.

"Okay, even if the mountain you rely on falls, can you still rely on the Chao clan to guard the border outside the Great Wall?"

Jiang Cheng ordered his men to carry Xu Jingbin and his brothers away, while at the same time asking someone to quickly count the weapons.

As a vanguard, he was actually worried that the Japanese would build a defense line in the Liaoxi Corridor and then cut off the connection between Northeast China and North China.

"Have you contacted the backup team?"

Jiang Cheng said loudly, "Send someone to investigate ahead immediately!"

…………

Tonight's surprise counterattack was like a sharp knife piercing the Liaoxi Corridor.

Although this move greatly boosted the morale of the Jinzhou defenders, it undoubtedly stirred up a hornet's nest for the Japanese.

Upon learning that an army was attacking Tashan, the newly appointed Japanese commander-in-chief, General Okamura Yasuji, immediately ordered his troops to stop them.

Jiang Lanxuan's reinforcements from Fengtian also rushed to Jinzhou, and Kulun Airport also dispatched a large number of bombers to bomb possible Japanese camps nearby.

The Japanese army originally planned to set up a "war funnel" in the Liaoxi Corridor, but was counterattacked by the Northeast Army. The Japanese army had no choice but to move towards Jinzhou...

In mid-March, the Northeast Fleet crossed the sea and launched a large-scale attack on Japanese ships in the Japanese waters and other oceans.

The possibility of the Combined Fleet planning to send reinforcements across the sea is almost zero - this battle may become the "final decisive battle" of the Japanese army outside the Great Wall.

And just as a major war was brewing near Jinzhou, various resolutions on joint resistance against Japan were finalized.

According to the decision, Zhang Hanqing naturally had to release his ally brother.

However, under such circumstances, he actually decided to go to Nanjing with the other party!

Just as the plane crossed the Yangtze River, his pilot reported that this plane was an American Boeing donated by Jiang Cheng, and its speed was faster than the escorting fighter jets.

"We can go anywhere you want at this moment."

The pilot insisted, and even "explicitly told" Zhang Hanqing not to land in Nanjing, and to fly away immediately after the person he was escorting landed... He could guarantee a safe return to the capital, Xi'an, or anywhere outside the Great Wall! (End of this chapter)
