Vanguards of the War of Resistance! Let's travel back in time together, classmates!

391 The artillery battle at Haicheng is in full swing

"Boom... Rumble..."

The cannons on the front lines in Haicheng have been roaring continuously!

The Tiger Guard's artillery fire was like a raging beast, seemingly wanting to tear a hole in the dozens of miles of defensive line and then rush over to ruthlessly ravage the Japanese troops on the other side.

This is the Tiger Guard Army's consistent war principle: if a war can be won with artillery fire, there is absolutely no need for people to fill in the craters.

In Shangguan Yun's view, every soldier of the Tiger Guard Army is a treasure and should not be sent to their death casually.

Ammunition is inanimate and we have plenty of money, so we can try to settle things with artillery fire, which will also instill great fear in the Japanese. It's a win-win situation.

The Tiger Guard Army had many cannons, but the Japanese army was not to be outdone. The artillery in the distance had already begun to retaliate. Soldiers on both sides were leisurely hiding in air-raid shelters, shivering as they felt the earth tremble, silent as cicadas in winter.

"Brother Liu, when is it our turn to charge? Are we just going to hide like this?" a new recruit asked a veteran next to him, shrugging his neck.

The veteran, known as Brother Liu, slapped the new recruit on the head in anger, "Are you out of your mind? The Japanese artillery is very accurate. If it weren't for our Tiger Guard Army, who in the National Revolutionary Army would dare to engage in artillery battle with the Japanese?"

The commander felt sorry for us, so he never hesitated to use up his ammunition when fighting the Japanese. He would only let us charge after we had finished the artillery battle with the Japanese. What are you thinking, kid? You think you're so tough...?

The new recruit grinned foolishly, "Hehe... I just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, kill a few more Japanese devils, and avenge the villagers who were killed..."

As he spoke, the recruit's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down his face.

The veteran was about to say a few more words to him when he sighed.

"Who doesn't have a grudge against the Japanese devils? If they hadn't invaded our homeland, I would still be living a happy life with my family, a few acres of land, an ox, a wife and children, and a warm bed."

Child... don't be sad. As long as our commander is here, the Tiger Guard will definitely defeat the Japanese. Then we'll find you a wife, give you a few acres of land, and you'll live a peaceful life..."

"Hehe...hehe..."

Several new recruits nearby simultaneously let out knowing, silly chuckles.

Outside, artillery fire raged, but inside the bunkers, it was much safer, especially for the Tiger Guard soldiers. When they were training their instructors, they all learned basic subjects such as how to quickly build individual shelters, dig trenches, and construct bunkers.

Therefore, the Tiger Guard's anti-artillery bunkers were constructed very scientifically. Not only were the pits dug deep, but they were also covered with large pieces of bluestone and even designed with reverse slopes, making them very sturdy.

The artillery battle continued, as the Tiger Guard Army had recently acquired many 255mm heavy cannons, which not only had fierce firepower but also a long range.

The Japanese artillery was not large in caliber, with the largest being no more than 150 millimeters, so they were at a disadvantage in artillery battles.

The Tiger Guard's shells seemed to be very cheap, and they were not only plentiful but also large in caliber, which made them a permanent source of pain for the Japanese artillery on the other side.

After a day and a night of fighting, the Tiger Guard Army had destroyed several Japanese artillery positions and many solid concrete fortifications. Although the Japanese suffered heavy losses, they showed no intention of retreating.

They could not retreat, even though the enemy was powerful, because once the Haicheng defense line fell, all the towns on the Liaohe Plain behind it would be defenseless.

This is an important passage to Shenyang. Separated by the Haicheng River, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it an invaluable sniping line. Moreover, even if the Tiger Guard Army comes out from Wulongkou, they can only reach the south bank of the Haicheng River and cannot threaten the safety of Haicheng.

Daheishan and Motianling are natural barriers of Wulongling, but they are also obstacles for the Tiger Guard Army to reach the Liaohe Plain. The Japanese army now feels a special affinity for these mountains, which allows them to guard the gateway to the Liaohe Plain, Haicheng, without distraction.

At the Haicheng front-line command post, Shangguan Yun assigned Zhang Zhenfei a staff officer named Gao Yuan.

This guy just wouldn't stop, pestering Shangguan Yun for a long time. In the end, Shangguan Yun found him a place to hone his skills. If he really is that kind of material, he'll naturally shine one day.

Sun Chaohan is now serving as a staff officer under Zhao Peng, which is also a way for him to hone his skills. Otherwise, without military merit, it would be difficult to establish himself in the army.

Having experienced the Liaodong Campaign and the Dalian City Defense Regiment, Ni Xiaoliang is now a battalion commander under Chen Jinshan. He is quite capable, and General Chen thinks highly of him. One of his battalions is in the regiment that raided Fengcheng this time.

Even though these classmates had never fought in a war, they all came from the new world, and their knowledge and experience were their greatest asset.

Shangguan Yun was simply doing his best to provide them with a platform.

He believes that in the near future, these people will all have their own glory!

Outside Chifeng City, the fighting was fierce, and the Kwantung Army command had already sensed that things were going badly.

The Tiger Guard Army launched a sudden attack on both the northern and southern fronts, and the battlefield became increasingly bizarre, causing Muto Yoshimi great concern!

The Tiger Guards have always been known for their bravery in battle, and Shangguan Yun is particularly elusive. He didn't believe the Tiger Guards would act recklessly; there must be a pattern to their actions. There must be a major conspiracy at play, though he didn't know how big it was.

Therefore, Wu Xinyi could not sit idly by and wait for his death. Under his instructions, the Tiger Killing Special Forces began to take action, and several hidden agents also began to move.

To support the offensive in Chifeng, Wu Xinyi ordered all fighter jets and bombers from Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan airports to go and assist, and a small number of armored vehicles and tanks also gathered in Chifeng.

Duolun and Guyuan are not far from Chifeng, but for the sake of secrecy, Zhang Jingdu did not send troops directly, but chose to go around to attack Chifeng. Now that Chifeng has been occupied, the Northern Division no longer has any concerns about this.

Yesterday morning, the heavy weapons of the 8th Infantry Division had already been transported to the Kailu front line.

On the morning of March 27, the main force of the Northern Division, the 1st Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division, along with a large number of heavy weapons and artillery, began to assemble in Chifeng.
