The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 717: A surprise attack on the baggage train

The Japanese leader was named Yuji Matsui, a middle-aged man with a gloomy look.

They were ordered by their superiors to come to the vicinity of Manzhouli to launch a surprise attack on the baggage train heading to Kulun... As early as two days ago, they had destroyed a rugged road.

——Just to wait and see again.

Taking a deep breath, Matsui Yuji was very skeptical of his superior's judgment:

Because they received news that Enqin, who was fighting with the Fengtian Army in Chahar, was unable to hold on, and it was obvious that the road from Mobei to Mongolia was about to be opened.

The Fengtian Army's forward command post was located in Linxi, Rehe. Could they deliver supplies to Mongolia via such a difficult road in Manzhouli?

Just as he was hesitating, a cold wind mixed with sand blew in his face, along with the thorny plants unique to the wasteland. Not only did it blind all the soldiers, but it also caused Matsui Yuji to eat a big mouthful of cold milk.

"Asshole! Damn it..."

Matsui Yuji cursed a few times, his eyes widened and he spat a few times at the ice field, "It must be that the beast Minamoto no Yoshimasa thought that I was hindering him from making military achievements for His Majesty the Emperor, so he used this shameless method to guide me in the wrong direction!"

If Jiang Cheng were here, he would be shocked by his words:
The bastard who caused trouble many times in Jilin in order to avenge his brother and then disappeared without a trace, actually ran all the way to the Northern Expeditionary Army and became the leader of the Japanese troops leading the team to the Caucasus!
"Yes, Commander Matsui, Commander Minamoto must be playing a trick on us--"

The adjutant beside him also complained, "It's such a dry uninhabited area, there is no one nearby, and it's so cold, how could they..."

However, before he could finish his words, everyone felt the earth being shaken by something extremely heavy.

Soon everyone heard some kind of horrifying roar. A large number of vultures circling around them were startled and flew away. Even the small stones on the ground were shaking.

"what is that!?"

The surprised crowd soon saw two steel behemoths leading the team, followed closely by a series of trucks neatly painted in military green.

"Commander Matsui is really here!"

The adjutant sighed, but Matsui Yuji's face suddenly became longer than a donkey's -

How the hell do you fight this?
We are just a group of infantrymen with mortars. If we really fight them, we will be the only ones who will suffer!

However, he kept hearing the voice of Yuan Yizheng flying around, constantly instilling in him words like "Long live the emperor" and "It is glorious to die for the empire".

Still, his face sank, and he ordered everyone to disperse and prepare for the attack according to the established plan.

This troop led by tanks was the supply brigade that set out from Manzhouli.

Because it was related to the war on the Kulun front, whether this batch of supplies could be delivered was a decisive factor... Jiang Dengxuan did not dare to delegate to anyone else, but led the team out personally.

Since the last battle with the Japanese in Vladivostok, when he was fumigated by chlorine, Jiang Dengxuan's health has been fluctuating. Every winter, he would cough and wheeze, and his face would turn pale due to lack of oxygen.

In fact, he was not suitable for long-distance journeys at all, and should have stayed in the rear to command, but at the moment he was holding a handkerchief stained with coughed blood and looking around vigilantly.

"Captain Jiang, take a break. We have been traveling for four days straight. Not to mention you, we are exhausted. If we are attacked by surprise, even if we fight back..."

Although the driver stared at the road, his voice was somewhat uneasy, "I've been on that road before, it's the mountain road of Baiyun Mountain-" "Not only is it remote and difficult to travel, there are not many villages along the way. It will take at least two days to leave the mountain area... In fact, it's better to rest here, wait for everyone to have enough food and rest, and then rush to Kulun."

Jiang Dengxuan shook his head, but before he could raise any objections, he suddenly noticed the driver's dark circles and his deeply clenched pupils.

Indeed, not only him, but everyone's fatigue has reached its peak. If they continue to hurry, they may not be able to hold on.

"Okay, honk the horn to notify everyone, we... ahem..."

Before he could finish his words, he started coughing again. Jiang Dengxuan buried half of his face in his handkerchief - his palm was immediately filled with bloody mucus. He laughed helplessly a few times.

The convoy quickly stopped moving on the road after being "notified" by the driver's horn. Jiang Dengxuan ordered people to notify everyone to huddle together to rest for a few hours, eat their meals, and so on.

However, what they didn't know was that in the distance there was a small Japanese detachment that was quietly dispersing and setting up mortars.

Yuji Matsui saw that the convoy should be repairing, and many soldiers began to unload large boxes from the vehicles and began to distribute dry food, drinking water and other things.

"Don't be impatient. Wait until these pathetic Chinese people have had enough to eat and drink, then we'll let them taste the power of the Imperial Army."

Matsui Yuji sneered.

You know, the people he brought with him were specially selected excellent soldiers... Not only were they all good at shooting, but they were also extremely quick-witted and experienced in battle.

Their mission was simple: cross the no-man's land, infiltrate the Jilin Army's baggage train, destroy the enemy's communication lines and supplies, and inflict as much damage as possible.

All preparations were carried out in silence. After setting up the mortars, the soldiers gently put on their backpacks filled with explosives, grenades and small blasting tools, and checked whether their rifles were loaded.

Yuji Matsui gestured a few times with his fingers without saying anything, but each gesture conveyed a clear message - keep in formation, stay hidden, and wait for his order for the general attack.

About twenty minutes later, they watched as the Jilin army in front of them had finished their meal and began to take turns to rest in two groups under the command of Jiang Dengxuan. Matsui Yuji suddenly issued an order for a general attack!
jump jump jump……

The crisp sound of the mortar firing immediately blew up all the well-trained Jilin troops, especially Jiang Dengxuan, who had been through many battles. He ordered the soldiers to disperse in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the entire convoy was engulfed in artillery fire - these damn Japanese mortars are so accurate!
After a round of artillery fire, the operation began.

Under the leadership of Yuji Matsui, the squad was divided into two groups. One group was responsible for rushing forward with explosives to cause damage, while the other group was responsible for blocking the Yoshinori army from a distance when they began to fight back.

"Damn it... Fight these enemies rushing towards us!"

Jiang Dengxuan immediately discovered the intentions of these bastards and gave a stern order to the officers around him:

But his throat was so hoarse that only the adjutant beside him heard it.

"Hit those who come rushing over. They want to blow up the car, they want to..."

Before he could finish his words, the first Japanese soldier who rushed up, as if he was risking his life, detonated the explosive pack tied to his body! (End of this chapter)
