Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Under the towering Wilde City, to the north, at the end of the originally peaceful vision, a wide road quietly extends into the distance.

However, at this moment, it seemed as if an invisible force suddenly erupted, and a cloud of dust suddenly rose up on the road in the distance!

The smoke and dust rose into the sky like a rolling yellow dragon, covering the sky and the sun, and quickly swept towards Huaide City.

From a distance, it was only dim and hazy, making it difficult to see what kind of scene and crisis was hidden in it. As the smoke and dust got closer, bursts of rumbling sounds could be heard faintly, deafening, as if the whole earth was shaking.

On the city wall, Ji Shiyun, the battalion commander of the Kuomintang army who was responsible for defending the north gate, stood there with a solemn look on his face. He raised the telescope in his hand and cast his eyes towards the convoy approaching in the distance.

As his sight zoomed in, he could clearly see the outlines of the vehicles and the soldiers on board, standing ready for battle.

However, at this moment, a strange expression suddenly appeared on Ji Shiyun's face. This expression contained both doubt and

There seemed to be a hint of disbelief. He stared at the approaching convoy, thinking to himself: "Why would these Communist troops choose to attack the North Gate? This is where our defenses are most stringent!"

Shi Jiyun frowned, thinking about various possible situations in his mind. Could it be that the Communist army had some important intelligence, or was this just a feint, and the real target was actually in another direction? Countless questions came to his mind, but time was tight and he couldn't think too much.

He took a deep breath, put down the telescope, turned around and shouted to his men: "Everyone, pay attention! Prepare to meet the enemy! No matter what the Communist army's purpose is, we must not let them easily break through the North Gate defense line!"

You have to know that not only is the terrain here open and flat, with at least 500 meters of unobstructed views, but they also dug two trenches at the north gate, and built more than 30 large and small light and dark fortresses just outside the city wall! All of them are reinforced concrete structures, and ordinary mountain cannons can do nothing about them!

That’s not all. His battalion is also equipped with four 37mm anti-tank guns, six 82mm mortars, and each company under it has a lot of light and heavy machine guns and automatic firepower!

Shi Jiyun had already seen clearly that the tanks were coming, but these tanks were not small Japanese tanks.

If he wasn't worried about the Japanese tanks at all, then he could deal with those thin-skinned coffins with the three bazookas in each company!

What made him a little worried was that the tanks that arrived today were all huge, especially the two in the lead, which had short and thick gun barrels!

This made him feel a little uneasy.

He immediately roared,

"Push the anti-tank gun up!"

His anti-tank gun is the American M3 anti-tank gun with a caliber of 37 mm, which can penetrate 500 mm armor thickness within 50 meters!

Unfortunately, the Communist tanks stopped 1000 meters away from the city wall!

Their gun barrels were slowly raised, and in an instant, blinding flashes of fire shot out from the muzzles, accompanied by deafening roars, and the shells whizzed out like thunder.

The shells rushed towards the city wall at an alarming speed. In an instant, the huge energy generated by the impact caused an earth-shattering explosion. In an instant, soil and rocks flew all over the city wall, and smoke filled the air. Bricks and stones were transformed into countless fragments under the violent impact and shot in all directions.

A strong shock wave swept across, and the city wall seemed to tremble and groan in pain. Then, another round of shells followed, and each bombardment added new wounds to the city wall. Huge cracks spread like spider webs, and some places even began to collapse.

Ji Shiyun was knocked to the ground and passed out!

From a bunker close to the city wall, several soldiers stumbled out, blood oozing from their mouths and noses. They only ran a few steps before they fell headfirst to the ground, unable to move anymore!

Two Grizzly assault guns and six Type 150 assault guns were still bombarding the city walls. This time, they carried 500 75mm shells and 1000 mm shells. Anyway, there were plenty of shells!

Under the city wall, next to a trench, several brave Nationalist soldiers tried to push the anti-tank gun closer, but unfortunately the trench was too long and they couldn't get through at all. An artillery officer was so angry that he kept cursing!

With a loud bang, a row of mountain artillery shells came crashing down, and the anti-tank gun along with several soldiers were knocked to the ground!

Chen Chao was standing behind, looking at the blasted hole in the city wall that was about 10 meters long, and said excitedly,

"Old Ding, it looks like we can attack now!"

Ding Shan held the telescope and said nothing, which made Chen Chao a little embarrassed.

The shelling hasn't stopped yet!

After a while, Ding Shan said,

"Captain Chen, wait, I'll have the artillery clear these bunkers again!"

Chen Chao smiled. This is what Yin Xinjun did in the past at Jingpo Lake. Sometimes, in order to save a few surviving enemy soldiers, he would even fire hundreds of grenade launchers before launching an attack!

The commander of the 4th Division, Chen, said with some distress,

"Deputy Commander Ding, this is such a waste of artillery shells! I heard that after this battle, we will fight Siping again!"

Ding Shan waved his hand.

"Captain Chen, don't worry. We have plenty of shells. Our commander has organized a special production blitz for the summer offensive these days! You have to know that human life is much more valuable than shells!"

Division Commander Chen nodded. Since March this year, their division had received not only weapons and ammunition, but also a large number of clothes, shoes, socks, quilts, helmets, canned food, biscuits, wine, cigarettes, candies, as well as medical equipment and penicillin from Mulan. As a result, the casualty rate of the troops was greatly reduced and morale was greatly improved!

He also communicated with several division commanders, and they increasingly agreed with the ideas of Commander Yin of the Mulan Military Sub-district! The mode of war has changed. Now it is a competition of supplies and logistics. We can't rely on manpower to do it!

Just then, a voice called out,

"Look! There's movement on the city wall!"

Several people raised their telescopes.

At the gap in the city wall, a white flag was waving.

Ding Shan immediately ordered,

"Go and inform the tanks to stop the shelling!"

Column Headquarters,

Commander Liu was extremely depressed.

Just now, I was ready to attack the reinforcements.

As a result, the defenders surrendered!

The attack was originally planned to take three days, but it was completed in just one morning!

According to reconnaissance, reinforcements had already come out from Siping, but now they have retreated!

He murmured to himself,

"Next time, don't fight like this!"

Chief of Staff Wu of the column on one side also said,

"Alas, this is not the fault of Deputy Commander Ding. Who could have thought that the Huaide defenders would be so frightened by the bombardment that they surrendered directly!"

There is another person who is equally depressed.

Tang Yantian!

His first assault group had been waiting in Dehui for three days and had been doing nothing!

Originally, they were assigned to the 1st Column. Now that the 1st Column had begun to move south to Siping, they did not let Tang Yantian go with them. Instead, they conveyed the headquarters' order to let the st Assault Group serve as a reserve force! They were told to wait for the headquarters' notice before taking action!

Because the target of the First Assault Group is too large, the headquarters has asked them to hide temporarily. The leaders hope that the enemy in Changchun can be dispatched, so that with the joint efforts of three columns and an armored assault group, it would be best to divide and surround the enemy in the field!

Unfortunately, the New Seventh Army and the Sixtieth Army, the enemy defending Changchun, did not move at all and remained tightly huddled in their turtle shells!
