The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 426 Weapon Suppression
Speaking of this kid, Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered who he was.

Ye Yiming was a classmate of Yang Yuting and Jiang Dengxuan. They both studied at the Japanese Army University. Because Yang Yuting had a better relationship with him, he was the first to extend an olive branch to him.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Dengxuan followed him without saying a word. However, Ye Yiming told Yang Yuting very clearly that the Fengtian Army was a barbarian outside the Great Wall and there was no future in following him, Lao Zhang.

So the two of them had a falling out... and when Feng Delin fled from the capital, it was this guy who held him down in Tianjin.

The troops of both sides set up their positions around the highway in Qinhuangdao. This time Jiang Cheng brought the elite troops of his two brigades.

Almost all the new weapons were brought with them except for the two tanks.

The most ferocious weapon here is the M1914... This light machine gun was designed by American engineer Henry Hotchkiss, put into production in France, and was widely used on the European battlefield.

The M1914 uses an air-cooled design, uses 7.5x54mm ammunition, and has a firing rate of up to 450 rounds per minute.

Such a caliber and terrifying rate of fire made it shine on the battlefield and it soon became one of the main weapons of the French army.

Even during the period of all-out war of resistance, it was one of the main weapons of the Chinese army.

Not only did generals from all over the country compete to buy it, but the arsenals of many countries also actively dismantled and imitated it because it was cheap and easy to make.

Jiang Cheng ordered 350 swords at one go this time, and he took out half of the first batch of more than 80 delivered.

As soon as Ye Yiming's troops were pulled up, Jiang Cheng ordered them to bring them all up and beat them to death.

It was already a little dark at dusk, and all the M1914s roared at the same time!

The entire battlefield was instantly transformed into a dense firepower network. Bullets produced dazzling flames wherever you looked, but these flames were accompanied by earth-shaking sounds of firing. All the Zhi army soldiers were like being exploded by large and small bombs inside their bodies at the moment of charging!
The battlefield filled with white smoke was the death ground where Yama harvested lives - the first round of charge was repelled in the blink of an eye, and those soldiers who did not have time to escape back to the trenches and hiding places were beaten into rotten meat by the concentrated fire of the rapid-fire machine guns, making it difficult to collect their bodies.

"What the hell is this?!"

"How terrible! Did you see what it was?"

"What on earth are these Fengtian troops using to fight?"

In the trenches, fear spread silently like an invisible plague.

The soldiers of the Zhi army huddled in the wet mud, and some were shivering - the machine guns on the battlefield stopped firing the moment they retreated;

But the huge sound still echoed in everyone's ears, making a chaotic buzzing sound from the eardrum to the throat and even deep in the mind.

The Fengtian Army’s weapons are so terrible!

Gusts of cold wind blew by, slightly dispersing the white smoke on the battlefield... Faintly, there were a few survivors, who were not sure whether they were lucky or unfortunate, and they let out bursts of shrill wails.

All the Zhi troops, including the commanding officers, stared with wide eyes at the movements on the opposite position, as if the people on the opposite side were not the "barbarians" outside Shanhaiguan, but the Judge Yama who was holding the Book of Life and Death and was about to reap everyone's rewards.

"What kind of deadly weapon is this!?"

After all, he had studied abroad at the Japanese Land University, so Ye Yiming considered himself to be well-informed.

But the machine gun used by the Fengtian Army in front of him was something he had never heard of, from its firing rate to its lethality!
You know, when the scouts discovered these Fengtian troops who had come from afar, they actually marched straight to Qinhuangdao in a swaggering manner.

Their commander Wu Peifu was excited and immediately called Ye Yiming to come and intercept them.

The young officer immediately dug trenches and piled up roadblocks on the road to Qinhuangdao, setting up a dragnet to wait for Jiang Cheng's arrival. However, what he never expected was that in this first round of attack, they tested the terrifying firepower of the Fengtian Army.

How do we fight this battle?
His eyes regained some focus and Ye Yiming swallowed hard - he had vaguely heard some noise coming from the opposite position.

Obviously, after the first round of exploratory attacks, the Fengtian Army had begun to advance without hesitation!
On his side, some soldiers gripped their rifles tightly, their fingers turning white with nervousness; some soldiers sat there blankly with empty eyes, having been frightened out of their wits by this overly terrifying weapon.

Almost everyone was breathing rapidly, and even their hearts seemed to be jumping out of their chests... The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and death, and most of the Zhi army soldiers found it difficult to breathe.

"Master Jiang, the other side has gone silent."

There was silence on the Zhi army's position. Guo Xipeng said to Jiang Cheng with excitement, "Should we start advancing and completely wipe out this guy named Ye? Haha, if we fire another half an hour or twenty minutes, we can beat him to pieces."

Jiang Cheng glanced at him sideways, pretending to be angry and gently patted his military cap: "You are a prodigal son, right?"

"Damn it! We bought these good guns and cannons from foreigners with real money. We suppressed them a while ago. Do you still want to waste them? I'll take the bullets from your reward money in the future, okay?"

Everyone burst into laughter, but Guo Xipeng made a face and said, "Quick victory. We are also thinking about rescuing Staff Officer Gao as soon as possible, haha!"

Jiang Cheng smiled.

This time he didn't say anything, but gestured to Ye Hai, who had already prepared a tin horn beside him.

The personal guard handed the things over, and Jiang Cheng, surrounded by everyone, walked straight to the front.

After finding a suitable hiding place, avoiding all possible sniper positions, Jiang Cheng raised the iron horn and shouted towards the enemy position:

"Commander Ye! I am Jiang Cheng, commander of the 29th Division of the Fengtian Army!"

"We have no intention of engaging in battle with you. We are only here in Qinhuangdao to receive equipment from our Fengtian Army. Please clear the way and let us pass!"

"Think about it, after all, we have an alliance between the Zhi and Feng families, and our Marshal is also related to Lord Cao."

There was no answer from the other side, only silence.

"Feilan, have all these Zhi troops run away?"

Zhang Xuecheng was looking through the telescope, Jiang Cheng suddenly threw the tin horn in his hand to Ye Hai beside him, and raised his right hand wearing a white glove towards Guo Xipeng who had been prepared!

"Brothers, follow me!"

After receiving the order, Guo Xipeng roared almost immediately, and the soldiers on both sides jumped out of their hiding places almost at the same time and launched a general attack on the Zhi army.

It turned out that Jiang Cheng had no intention of accepting the surrender of this group of Zhi troops.

While he was shouting, he had already ordered Vasily to lead the White Russian soldiers to launch a surprise attack.

At this time, the Zhi army's position had been successfully attacked. As the commander-in-chief, Jiang Cheng would definitely order an all-out attack and fight to the death.

There is nothing much to say, no matter whose unit he belongs to or who his relationship with is.

Be it Wu Peifu, Yang Yuting or Jiang Dengxuan, since they are all angry with each other, how can they hold back when the two armies fight?
