The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

But the Jilin army under Jiang Cheng's leadership was different.

In the past two or three years, they have been optimizing the source of soldiers, starting with building schools and training "new recruits"...

Later, the previously incorporated troops were adjusted at all levels. Those who did not meet the requirements or disobeyed orders were directly forced to retire and replaced with fresh blood, etc.

Therefore, after continuous rectification, the team is now a team with high military literacy and obedience to command.

It can be seen now that even though they were huddled in the trenches to avoid the fierce artillery fire, everyone's faces were a little pale, but they still maintained the composure and vigilance that a soldier should have.

"Everyone, get ready!"

Just after the three rounds of artillery fire ended, Jiang Cheng quickly shook off the dirt on his head, quickly pulled out a launcher loaded with flares from his waist and aimed it at the sky.

Almost at the same time as him, Feng Yong and Zhang Xuecheng, who were on his left and right wings, also launched their attacks.

Three green flames suddenly rose into the sky, and everyone immediately saw the enemies pouring over them!
In an instant, machine gun positions in several directions opened fire at the same time, and the strictly arranged firepower points formed a dense firepower network.

But when the Zhi army faced this kind of fighting style, they were clearly already very accustomed to it, and they quickly adopted a dispersed charge in the face of a powerful firepower network... In addition, while the machine gun positions were exposed, the heavy firepower and mortars following closely behind the team also aimed at them.

"beat!"

Seeing that the group of people were getting close enough, Jiang Cheng roared at the front line, and all the soldiers raised their guns and aimed, starting to attack frantically.

The first row of Zhi army soldiers charging were instantly mowed down, but the huge crowd following them seemed to be risking their lives. Many of them even approached the trenches and started charging with bayonets in hand.

A bloody battle broke out. The shooting inside and outside the trenches almost stopped, and the most primitive and bloody hand-to-hand combat of mankind broke out again.

In addition to the bayonet, the main weapon of the Jilin Army in hand-to-hand combat was a short bayonet made in France.

This is a short knife that Jiang Cheng specially customized from a company. It is about 40 centimeters long and uses the latest manganese alloy steel with a double-sided blade. Jiang Cheng was afraid that it was not sharp enough, so he ordered every brother who received the knife to maintain it every day and pay attention to rust prevention when storing it.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng also trained and assessed them according to modern tactics - now the power of this advanced bayonet can be brought into play to the maximum extent by these young people who have mastered modern military combat methods!

The first round of charge was repelled, but the problem was that the second round, the third round... followed immediately. You have to know that the number of Zhi troops is ten times that of soldiers in the city. With such a huge disparity, even with a certain generation gap in weapons, the team led by Jiang Cheng was getting worse and worse.

Bullets and shells will run out, and soldiers are also human beings, and they will get tired - hand-to-hand combat is the key to solving problems, but close combat is the most physically demanding.
The long-term rotation battles would only make them extremely tired and they would not be able to hold on for too long.

After repelling countless attacks, Jiang Cheng clearly felt that his defense had become weak, and... as he fought and retreated, the number of soldiers was decreasing, and their battle line had been dragged to the outermost extension of the city defense.
When the machine guns on the city wall were fighting off another round of attacks, a shocking artillery roar suddenly came from the small road on the east side of Luanzhou!

The reinforcements have arrived. Jiang Cheng finally showed a relieved smile on his face. Before leaving for Luanzhou, Jiang Cheng secretly mobilized more than ten tanks and supplies to enter the customs.

What surprised him even more was that it was not only his own reinforcement Hai Rushong who came to rescue him, but Marshal Zhang and Yang Yuting also came back with him.

"What is this!?"

The Zhi troops who originally thought they could win by relying on human wave tactics were so frightened that their faces changed after seeing the big iron guy coming back.

Many people found that their bullets could not penetrate that thing at all, and might even be shot by the machine guns on it. They were so frightened that they screamed and retreated. Even the commanders of the team at the back were dumbfounded and fled with the fleeing soldiers, fearing that they would be chased away by that big iron thing.

As the battle situation turned around in an instant, Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and the big knife in his hand fell to the ground... Soon, he faced the Marshal and Yang Yuting who were walking under the rising sun, revealing a slightly angry expression:

"Hey, Master, what do you mean? I've already said that Luanzhou will be guarded by me and my brothers, so you should quickly lead your men to retreat... Why are you back again?"

The Marshal punched him in anger and said, "Fuck you, you little brat, you made me run away, and you're here to fight to death?"

"Damn it, if your clever head of yours really explodes, I won't be able to bear it."

Jiang Cheng looked back at him, and was deeply moved by the sincerity on the other's face... Although he knew that the old fox's concern was probably because of Zhang Hanqing who was still here, for a few seconds, he was really willing to believe that the other party was sincere in saying these words.

In the distance, artillery fire and gunfire continued. As the tanks advanced, the Zhi army's formation was in chaos and they began to retreat... Yang Yuting squinted at the distance, then quickly turned back and said, "Feilan, the commander has already boarded the train. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. I slapped my thigh and came back all the way."

"He's just worried that something might happen to you, so,"

Before he could finish his words, the Marshal took him in his arms and led him into the city. All the way, he was surrounded by soldiers and smiled, constantly asking about their well-being... It seemed that he had completely forgotten about the battle.

The sky is getting brighter.

At this time, a large number of Fengtian Army's main forces must have withdrawn outside the Great Wall, and the siege of Luanzhou was lifted; Jiang Cheng also received a telegram from Shandong that Sun Chuanfang had also begun to retreat, and the situation in Jinan was also lifted because of the retreat of the Zhi Army from Luanzhou.

In fact, Jiang Cheng knew in his heart that it was not enough to drive away these massive Zhi troops with just a dozen tanks, and continuing to attack Luanzhou had lost its strategic significance.

This city has demonstrated its amazing counterattack capability to the famous general Yu Shuai of the Zhi army, and the real strength of the army outside the pass.

Especially the appearance of these "big iron guys" gave Wu Peifu, who had a large army, a headache: before, he suffered a great loss at the hands of the bad boy who controlled this thing, so why did this damn thing appear again?
In addition, the main force of the Fengtian Army must have withdrawn. Even if they could capture Luanzhou at this moment, they would suffer heavy losses.

Judging from the current situation, the main force of the Ji army obviously did not enter the pass. If they were to be counterattacked, Hai Pingchuan from Shandong would follow the Ji army to Luoyang for revenge. He would not even be able to keep his own territory. Why would he do such a risky thing? (End of this chapter)
