The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

But he was also very clear that such a powerful counterattack had been launched, and the enemies rushing in from outside the city were almost massacred and annihilated, and they were eliminated outside their positions.

The current Kulun City is like a ferocious steel man-eating beast... No matter who they are, no matter how many people there are, anyone who dares to approach will be torn to pieces and devoured immediately.

But at this time, this steel beast, which relies on ammunition to maintain its combat effectiveness, cannot show any signs of fatigue.

Otherwise, countless enemies would pounce on them in the darkness and retaliate against them.

Two consecutive rounds of attacks were quickly defeated, and the fortifications surrounding the city in several directions also stopped firing one after another.

There was smoke everywhere, and the fierce firepower and explosions splashed sand and soil everywhere around the city.

However, no matter how thick the smoke and smell of fire were, they still couldn't cover up the bloody smell that was blowing in the face.

Xu Shuzheng sat on a motorcycle, accompanied by two guards, and personally supervised the battle between the city defenses. This time he was really anxious.

Reinforcements and supplies could not keep up, and this situation was caused not only by the Fengtian Army’s own internal strife, but also by the enemy’s trap.

Since they were able to successfully get close to Jiang Dengxuan's convoy and cause considerable damage... the enemy's intention was obvious, which was to cut off Kulun's lifeline.
Xu Shuzheng was very clear about how much offensive pressure Kulun would have to bear next.

In fact, when he learned that Wu Junsheng's reinforcements had not arrived and Jiang Dengxuan's reinforcements would be late, he understood that the real tough battle had begun.

During the battle between the two sides, any exchange of fire must be intentional:
After attacking the supply troops, they will definitely attack their "isolated island", otherwise the sneak attack will lose its meaning.

"Let the brothers quickly count the ammunition on their respective fortifications and positions,"

Almost every time he arrived at a position, the first thing Xu Shuzheng did after jumping off his motorcycle was to shout loudly to the top leaders, ordering them to count the ammunition and the wounded step by step, "Brothers, quickly reinforce the fortifications! If you want to sleep, wait until dawn..."

Now none of the scouts that were sent out have returned, and the entire Kulun is at a loss as if it were blind:

No one knew how many troops and people were outside the city, or what the attack intentions were - Xu Shuzheng could only use this method, which was almost like a blind man groping in the dark, to counterattack the enemies who were constantly attacking outside the city.

It took him a full two hours to inspect the positions throughout the city.

Picking up a stick and scratching it on the ground, Xu Shuzheng roughly estimated that his ammunition was probably only enough to sustain firepower for five to six days.

He received a notice from Jiang Cheng that it would take at least four days to deliver supplies from the rear of Rehe or Manzhouli!
Terrible.

He clenched the stick in his hand tightly, causing it to tremble slightly, and his eyes became uneasy:
I knew that none of these Fengtian troops, who were originally bandits, could be trusted...

Thinking of this, the figures of Jiang Chenghai and Pingchuan, the new warlords, flashed through his mind: these young and strong factions seemed to give him some hope of success.

But again,

"Commander Xu, Commander Xu!"

Just as Xu Shuzheng was lost in thought and considering his next move, his subordinate Han Fuyu ran over breathlessly, "Sir, the radio has been restored - we received an urgent message from our former headquarters!"

Xu Shuzheng's eyes lit up.

Although this "blitzkrieg" can be regarded as an isolated force advancing deep into the enemy's territory, for now, they have never given up trying to connect and communicate.

"Sir, the radio is connected. Does this mean that the transportation route has been restored?"

Just as Xu Shuzheng lowered his head to read the content, Han Fuyu wiped his sweat and asked softly. He quickly looked up at this young subordinate - Han Fuyu, a graduate of Jilin Guanghan University, who was selected into the first term of Jilin Military Academy.
Because of his excellent academic performance, he and his classmate Zhao Tiankai were selected to serve in the heavy armored combined brigade.

Looking up and quickly looking at the other person with a smile, Xu Shuzheng raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "That should be it! Come on, quickly lead the brothers to continue to reinforce the fortifications, we don't have time to be in a daze!"

After saying this, the other party hurriedly stood at attention and saluted, while Xu Shuzheng quickly lowered his head to read the contents of the telegram -

As expected, Wu Junsheng did not come to rescue, but instead sent troops to Suiyuan to fight with Enqin who was fighting with Sun Liechen.
Given the strength of these two veterans, it would be no problem for them to beat this guy to death in Suiyuan.

But the terrible thing is that neither of the two old guys wanted to rush forward, but instead chased the White Army all the way...

Logically speaking, if the two of them attacked from both sides, Enqin, who had no supplies, should have been chopped to pieces.

Now, not only was he not killed, but he had even gone all the way around to the back of Wang Junshan's army;
Wang's army was confronting another White Army, trying to open up Chahar's supply line. Who would have thought that Wu and Sun together could not kill Enqin, or even hold him back?

Instead, Wang Junshan was the one who was attacked from both sides.

Xu Shuzheng frowned and looked down. Jin Yanxi's troops and Feng Yong were leading their troops... and Hai Rushong's troops were also ready at all times.

But even he understood that their commander-in-chief had put all his capital on the line!

All the soldiers that could be mobilized have been mobilized, and the rest dared not move even if they could - after all, the Japanese in Japanese-controlled Korea were still ready to make a move across from Ji'an. Once the rear was empty, who would guard their homeland for them?
"Is this old man Zhang Yuting unwilling to move a finger? In his eyes, Mongolia is such a large territory, and he doesn't even care about it?"

Xu Shuzheng looked around and threw the telegram paper into the bonfire nearby.

At the end of the telegram, Jiang Cheng told him that in addition to the two lines in Rehe and Manzhouli, he was in talks with the Russians to let them "lease" the railways for use.

"Jiang Feilan, is this possible?"

He stared at the raging flames and muttered to himself. Behind him, fierce gunfire sounded again.

The enemy's attack began again.

…………

In fact, three days ago, Jiang Cheng had almost reached an agreement on cooperation with the Russians.

But it was the division of interests in the Baikal region that brought the negotiations back to square one.

These damn Russians want the Mongolian border to move back further and they want all the fertile and beautiful lands near Baikal.

Jiang Cheng almost overturned the table, but he endured it again and again... and asked his staff to send them all back to the mansion.

Sun Zhengnan was also quite mad. The top student at Yenching University who never swore, also cursed and said that these hateful Russians were just making things difficult for people and he didn't want to negotiate with them at all.

"The medicine that should be used, used——"

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, waved his hand at Han Ming and whispered a few words, then turned back to his chief of staff and said, "The Russians just know that our war situation is tight."

"So, they want to use delaying tactics to gain more benefits from us." (End of this chapter)
