The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"Everyone……"

Xu Shuzheng was so surprised, but when he looked around, he found something even stranger:

Including Lu Guangyao, facing these common people rushing in in a disorderly manner, they actually looked accustomed to it and cooperated with these local people very tacitly.

If you are a Chinese soldier in the 21st century, you will not find it strange to blend in with the common people... Soldiers in the Republic of China were almost the opposite of the common people, and that was truly blending in with the common people.

Not to mention having good relations with the people, having people take the initiative to help and an army that did not harm the common people was quite rare during the Republic of China period.

Blinking his eyes, Xu Shuzheng remembered: On the train from Jinan to the border, he heard a lot of rumors about the Jilin Army -

In addition to daily training, the army also has a system of farming and labor, and even a large militia system. The organization is completely centralized in the Jilin Military Governor's Office, but in actual life, it complements the common people, and the local people are very supportive of such troops.

"This... I didn't expect that the people's will is..."

Less than a year after joining Jiang Cheng's school, Xu Shuzheng was more or less influenced by his management philosophy. So when he first arrived in Kulun, in addition to his intention for future development, he actually accepted Jilin's military philosophy in his heart.

"Everyone knows that the commander-in-chief has brought soldiers to protect our city."

"Yes, yes, it was wrong of us to rob things before. Now we know who is the good guy and who is the bad guy. Brother Bayin also told us that if we drive away the enemies, we can all live a good life!"

"Yes, live a good life!"

These Mongolian people who stepped forward, both men and women, all wore simple smiles and were not afraid of the artillery fire that was still falling.

Everyone was like a soldier in the flames of war. In addition to holding buckets to help put out the fire, rescue supplies and the wounded, many people took the initiative to take out their own medicines and so on...

While directing the entire city to coordinate operations through the newly restored radio, Xu Shuzheng turned around and couldn't help but loosen his grip:
The entire city of Kulun seemed to be "woken up" by this round of artillery fire that was not very well connected: men, women, old and young in the city bravely took to the streets and began to help the defenders fight!
There was no pre-war call, and no one came to organize everyone. Everyone took the initiative to stand up and fight for this city and for their homes.

"Everyone……"

A pungent cold wind mixed with gunpowder smoke blew towards him, and Xu Shuzheng inexplicably felt a sense of warmth.

Every face showed full determination. Even the women looked particularly strong under the cover of war.

In addition to helping treat the wounded, many people took the initiative to undertake the task of transporting combat supplies - the front line was short of people to deliver ammunition, and many of them were just ordinary herdsmen who rushed forward carrying ammunition boxes.

"If they charge like that, they will only die in vain... Guangyao, Guangyao! Give the order to break everyone up into several small teams and let our brothers lead the team—"

Xu Shuzheng roared loudly, but everyone suddenly realized that the deafening artillery fire that had been deafening a few minutes ago had stopped at some point.

"what happened……"

"Have you retreated? Are you no longer going to fight the bad guys outside the city?"

People were whispering around, but Xu Shuzheng's whole body trembled. He turned around abruptly and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Prepare for battle." He pulled out a pistol from his waist and fired two shots into the sky, then ran towards the city defense.

Seeing the top officer rushing out first, everyone shouted "Follow me", and then -

Immediately afterwards, the people rushing out of the city, including Xu Shuzheng himself, realized what was coming.

Rumble…

It was that familiar, dull sound of the earth being shaken by the engine - the kind of vibration that struck everyone's heart, enough to stop their heartbeat and breathing!
"Tank!?" "It's a tank!"

Suddenly, lights turned around and sent out light messages to them along the line.

However, even without the warning from the fortifications, the soldiers in the city defenses could sense the approaching torrent of steel...

"Flare!"

Han Fuyu on the city defense yelled - with muffled bangs, two ghost-eye-like fireballs rose rapidly and quickly lit up bright green light in the sky above the front line.

As the flames, which lasted only two minutes, lit up, everyone saw a terrifying scene:

It is no exaggeration to describe it as a steel torrent. Hundreds of tanks were lined up in neat columns, like steel behemoths, moving forward at a slow pace.

Each tank is painted with a distinctive red logo, which represents their glory and belonging.

It's really those old guys! ?

They, they actually entered the country!

Xu Shuzheng's hands and feet were cold, and the driving tracks raised clouds of dust. Behind the slowly moving beast, soldiers holding rifles followed closely;
Even the strongest fortifications appear vulnerable to such a torrent of steel.

The tank's main gun began to spew flames, suppressing the firepower of each ten-man combat team scattered in the front.

"Fire! Lower the close-in defense guns and aim at the tank tracks! The city defense heavy machine guns aim at the intervals between the tanks!"

It was rare for Xu Shuzheng to give orders in this tone, and it was obvious that he was extremely urgent.

The close-in defense guns that were almost facing the enemy's tank formation began to roar at the same time, and shells tore through the air and accurately hit the enemy's tanks.

With the flash and smoke of the explosion, the solid tracks burst apart one after another.

The tank, having lost its tracks, lost its ability to move and fell diagonally into a shallow pit on the ground, becoming completely unable to move.

"Hit, hit, hit me hard!"

Xu Shuzheng ordered the machine guns to fire... Groups of infantrymen were shot and fell to the ground after losing the protection of the tanks.

At this moment, the tank troops dispatched back to participate in the city defense battle were also withdrawn in time:

The roar of the engines and the sound of metal colliding intertwined to form an exciting symphony - the advantages of heavy tanks and infantry were instantly wiped out.

This is already a war with modern military tactics. Both sides are putting in their full firepower. In this kind of mutual offensive, the tactics and fighting methods are no longer important.

After a night of fierce fighting, a pile of scrap metal and countless corpses were left in the outer city.

Xu Shuzheng gave up the rest time between battles and immediately led his troops out of the city defense.

In addition to rescuing the wounded, cleaning up the battlefield, and restoring the damaged fortifications, he wanted to determine the identity of the enemy.

Although he saw the tank's paint job through the flares, he was unwilling and dared not believe that it was the Russians. (End of this chapter)
