The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 380 Infantry-Tank Coordination
It was clearly a surprise attack, and according to Wang Junshan's many years of combat experience, after this first round of "small cannon" attack, there would definitely be all kinds of sweeping fire...

So he shouted angrily, "Disperse," "Brothers, find shelter where you are," and "Don't make a scene."

But there was almost no space under the artillery fire, and his voice was shattered by the fierce explosion and could not be transmitted from one level to another.

Before Marshal Zhang reorganized the army, the quality of most Fengtian Army troops was not very high. In addition, most of the officers were "bearded men" and their command ability was also mediocre.

Wang Junshan was still able to maintain his composure, but the junior officers at all levels were different.

At midnight when the wind was blowing coldly, many soldiers had already begun to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

However, the explosion gradually subsided, and the fire coverage from the volley of guns that Wang Junshan had speculated about never came.

What's going on? Is it just a matter of firing a few shots and that's it?

"Hu... huh!"

Wang Junshan, who was hiding in a secluded place, had a tense face and took a deep breath of the extremely cold air. The smell of blood and the exploding earth made him concentrate highly:
Near the explosion points just now, one seemed to faintly hear one or two soldiers crying for pain and help.

"Captain, this,"

The guards around him were asking in a low voice when they all heard a strange sound:

This sound was unheard of and definitely unnatural... It sounded like metal hinges mixed with some kind of engine noise;
Then, the sound got closer and louder.

As the sound got closer, it seemed as if the ground began to rumble and shake.

What is that!?

Wang Junshan's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly looked at his subordinates around him... However, just when everyone was extremely shocked, about a hundred steps away from them, a shocking gunshot suddenly came!

It was like bolts of thunder flashing out of nowhere, the sound of gunfire suddenly became continuous, and this sound... was definitely not something that could be produced by any type of gun they had ever heard of!

For the first time, Wang Junshan and his subordinates had the urge to cover their ears - as if this was their first time on the battlefield and the first time they heard the sound of foreign gunfire!

"Oh my god, what's going on!?"

Wang Junshan took a deep breath, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, then bravely poked his head out from the hidden place...

Not only him, but almost all the brothers present didn't care about being afraid, and turned their eyes in astonishment to the source of the explosion.

Then everyone was dumbfounded:

What appeared before their eyes was a terrifyingly huge iron vehicle - and what was even more terrifying was that even a light machine gun couldn't penetrate it, not to mention the ordinary rifles in the hands of the soldiers...

Not only can it move as fast as a vehicle, but there are also huge guns on the circular iron turrets firing!

"What's this?!"

Just when everyone on Wang Junshan's side was stunned, everyone on Jiang Cheng's side was also speechless with shock.

Although they had tested the performance of these two tanks at the training ground in Changchun, everyone present was still greatly shocked when the true combat effectiveness of these two big guys was unveiled.

"Well, it's not bad." Jiang Cheng was holding a cigarette at this time, and his dark pupils scattered a cold and arrogant smile. Fernan, the arms dealer beside him, quickly suppressed his frightened expression and pretended to be calm and composed: "Well, it looks good."

"Mr. Jiang, are you satisfied with the performance of our Renault products?"

After listening to Yan Ziwen's translation, Jiang Cheng picked up the telescope.

At this moment, three dark green flares rose into the sky like will-o'-the-wisp. His soldiers, under the cover of the tanks on both sides, fired and advanced frantically.

This new style of fighting has just become popular on the European battlefield, and is the so-called infantry-tank coordination.

This style of play is not difficult either in training or in actual operation; the real difficulty is probably that China at that time did not have such fashionable things as tanks, nor did it have matching tank drivers.

The people driving the two tanks today were recruited from the French army by Fernando, whom Jiang Cheng had hired at great expense.

Although tanks have only been around for a short time, these tank soldiers have all been rigorously trained... They have excellent driving and design skills, and after a few days of coordination training, they can cooperate with the Fengtian Army;

Judging from the current situation, this tactic is quite successful.

"Next, send me as many tanks as you have! I'll take all the tanks you can sell at the current price.

Jiang Cheng deliberately raised his cigarette and made a "toast" gesture, "For Napoleon, for victory!"

Fernando's face flushed with excitement.

It was not only because of this honorific, which is the most respected honorific by the French, but also because the Fengtian Army high-ranking official in front of him wanted to take all his tanks!
How much money does this cost!

How much sales profit can I get from it?
He was a little afraid to think about it, but the scene of gold coins raining down began to appear in the depths of his mind!
Even though Jiang Cheng and he didn't quite communicate in the same language at the moment, seeing his unconcealable excitement, Jiang Cheng smiled playfully and continued to watch the battle through the telescope.

With only two tanks, they beat the Heilongjiang Provincial Army that attacked Wang Junshan into a pulp. What if there were more?

Jiang Cheng remembered reading on a military fan forum that when Japan invaded France in 1940, the French army still had 1560 Renault FT-17 tanks.

Most of these tanks were picked up by the German army and used as fixed firing points or for guard duties until the German army was driven out of France in 1944.

The Renault FT-17 light tank served from 1918 to 1944, for 26 years, and participated in two world wars.
Not only that, because of its excellent cost-effectiveness, it has become a famous tank of a generation and is recorded in the history of world tank development.

If he "picked up" all these tanks and brought them back to Northeast China, how powerful would his troops be in the future?

Jiang Cheng himself didn't even dare to think about it.

With so many tanks, let alone flattening the entire Heilongjiang Province, even if they continued to advance northward and reach the seaport as he had in mind, what would it be like! ?

The palms of my hands holding the telescope were already beginning to sweat.

By then, he will be able to use resources to exchange for more industrial materials, thereby further promoting the rapid industrialization of the Northeast.

Coupled with the "talent plan" currently being implemented by Sun Zhengnan and others, classmates such as Yang Yucheng, Yan Ziwen, and Zhang Tinghui, lured by high salaries, continue to come to his Jilin, and the development will definitely grow exponentially!
Suppressing the trembling in my heart, the observation continued.

However, Jiang Cheng was also very clear that although the current tactics of these two tanks could crush the troops that attacked Wang Junshan... but this tactic would probably not have many chances to be replicated in the next battle.
