Chapter 559 You underestimated Lin Tianchen!!!
Chapter 559 You underestimated Lin Tianchen!!!
Gan area, Raozhou.
The war in central China seemed extremely intense. As the sky grew darker, the setting sun, like blood, spread over the mountaintops.
As evening approached, many soldiers in the trenches relaxed their eyes for a rare moment.
Bomb craters of varying sizes dot the battlefield, with only bursts of smoke and the gradually fading sounds of gunfire.
The 317th Regiment serves as the frontline defense regiment on this battlefield.
Cheng Jianmin felt a little relieved, having barely managed to block this wave of the Japanese' charge. Just as he was leaning back in the trench, he suddenly heard some noises. He immediately pricked up his ears to listen, and his expression suddenly changed.
“The Japanese are bombing!!!”
When they heard the faint sound and looked up at the sky, the bomber was already looming and flying towards them at an extremely fast speed. Just as they were talking, the sound of bombs breaking through the air and falling was heard in the sky.
The whistling sounds caused the soldiers in the trenches to instinctively seek cover.
"The Japanese planes are bombing!"
"hidden!"
"Be careful!"
The undulating shouts were drowned in the explosions following the roar
Huge flames rose up, and the entire mountain position was engulfed in a sea of fire.
"Damn beasts, they never stop!" Cheng Jianmin stared fiercely at the Japanese bombers roaring in the sky.
Originally, not to mention the bombers, even the Japanese would choose to cease fire at night.
But now the Japanese bombers actually carried out large-scale bombing near nightfall, which was the first time in many years.
"Commander, our superiors have asked us to hold on for three hours and lead these Japanese soldiers to the northwest to prevent them from discovering the airport we are building." Sun Zhiqiang, who was running from the mountains with his body bent, said in a heavy tone.
I originally thought that there would be no problem as long as we could hold on until nightfall, but I didn't expect that the Japanese would choose to attack at night.
And this was obviously organized and premeditated.
The bombing had just ended, and the Japanese soldiers who were originally going to rest suddenly launched a fierce attack with vigor. It was obvious that the gunfire that had gradually fallen before was just an illusion for them.
"Three hours?" Cheng Jianmin looked at the entire reinforced regiment of more than 5,000 people on the battlefield. Now there are less than 3,000 soldiers. The loud gunshots at this time made him realize that the Japanese offensive was very fierce.
The bombers had just finished bombing when two newly appeared Japanese infantry battalions on the opposite side launched an almost crazy charge, forcing them to hold on for three hours... He knew that this time the situation was very dangerous.
Sun Zhiqiang was silent for a moment, his eyes full of determination, and at this time the communicator of the regiment quickly appeared, crouching down.
"Report, a clear telegram from Shancheng, the Tiger Brigade won their first battle in Chuncheng and has entered the southern part of the city..."
When these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment. Cheng Jianmin and Sun Zhiqiang looked at each other.
"They have already reached Chuncheng..." Sun Zhiqiang murmured on the side. Among all the major war zones and fronts in the country, only in the three northeastern provinces are they the attacking party.
The Tiger Brigade of the Northern Expedition was facing the elite troops of Kanto, known as the ace flower. To a certain extent, they themselves admitted that their strength was far superior to theirs.
However, facing a force more elite than theirs, the Tiger Brigade fought their way to Chuncheng step by step.
Cheng Jianmin, who was standing aside, remained silent as he retreated all the way from Zhejiang, withdrawing again and again.
The Tiger Guards won victory after victory, which made his eyes complicated, but he gradually became determined.
"Stand in stages, leave a suicide note for the entire group, arrange for someone to take it out, and fight to the death!!!"
"Tell this news to every brother in the regiment. Let everyone know that the domestic troops will not only retreat, but will also attack!"
"Even if we die, the Tiger Brigade will fight back sooner or later. Our blood will flow over the mountains and rivers, but at worst we will have to protect the flowers next year."
Cheng Jianmin put the telegram away solemnly, his eyes full of determination.
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Sun Zhiqiang immediately began to make arrangements.
Fire, war, smoke...
This is their normal state, and there is a high possibility that they will die in the end. However, he doesn't feel sorry for it. After all, the night will eventually pass, and hope is there.
.........
...
Jin land, Yuancheng.
As the sky grew darker, in an attic in the original city, Yan Laoxi was looking at the map of the three northeastern provinces in front of him, observing it carefully.
"Sir, the Far East Joint Command has been established, and according to intelligence, a troop from the Far East of Xiong Country has entered the country. I'm worried..." Zhao Songshan next to him reminded.
After all, judging from the current situation, Shancheng's arrangement this time can be said to have put Lin Tianchen completely in danger. It is natural to worry about the establishment of the Far East Joint Command this time.
He had no doubt about Lin Tianchen's strength, but he was inexplicably worried about these calculations. If we look at age, Lin Tianchen's age is his biggest weakness.
Upon hearing this, Yan Laoxi couldn't help but shook his head and expressed his disapproval of Zhao Songshan's opinion.
"You underestimate Lin Tianchen. It seems that the Far East Joint Command has been established, but do you think the soldiers of the Tiger Brigade will obey the orders of a bear countryman? Don't underestimate Lin Tianchen's emphasis on soldiers. Otherwise, the Fengling Mountain of the Black Cloud Village would not be so large."
Yan Laoxi paused as he spoke, then turned to look at Zhao Songshan. "You have to remember that the Tiger Brigade exists because of Lin Tianchen. It can't be mobilized with a piece of paper. Those little tricks of Shancheng are doomed to fail."
Yan Laoxi leaned back in his chair, tapping the table rhythmically, his brows slightly furrowed. He was not worried that the Tiger Brigade would fall into the hands of the Russians.
Lin Tianchen led a defeated army of more than 20 people to the famous Tiger Brigade today. The soldiers came from the faith in their hearts, but after one battle after another, they chose to march north just after they had conquered Jin.
This belief has already been transformed invisibly. Without Lin Tianchen, the Tiger Brigade is simply incomplete. If it is just a piece of empty paper and a Far East Joint Command can control the Northern Expedition team, it would be a bit too ridiculous.
So even now, when he heard about the establishment of the Far East Joint Command, Yan Laoxi still scoffed at it, treating Lin Tianchen as a little kid in his twenties, who was destined to suffer a great loss.
"Then, sir, what are you worried about?" Zhao Songshan looked a little puzzled. After all, it was obvious that Yan Laoxi was worried about something.
"It's hard to defend against a hidden attack... Lin Tianchen is not without weaknesses, and those in Mountain City sometimes resort to any means necessary to achieve their goals."
Yan Laoxi couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
"You mean..." Zhao Songshan seemed to be thinking about something, but his words were interrupted by a burst of hurried footsteps.
The two men stopped talking instantly and turned to look at the person who came. A soldier was running all the way.
"Sir, the latest battle report from Chuncheng: The Tiger Brigade has broken through the city. At the same time, they are holding the Russians back in Shengjing..."
The words fell.
Zhao Songshan looked at the telegram and immediately took it and handed it to Yan Laoxi.
After taking the telegram, Yan Laoxi looked at it carefully, his expression unable to control his excitement. However, as he took the telegram in his hands and looked at it carefully, his face became more and more flushed.
With a bang, Yan Laoxi couldn't help but slam the chair angrily.
"Those buried without permission are enemies of the Tiger Brigade. Well said!!!"
Yan Laoxi could hardly control his emotions, his eyes filled with excitement.
This short sentence contains so much. It is so difficult to say these words in front of a powerful country.
Since the previous dynasty, the country has been weak, and the general trend is to rely on the strong to seek peace, so that it can barely survive in this chaotic world.
He was willing to pay for Lin Tianchen, which was due to Lin Tianchen's sincere heart. What Lin Tianchen did was to resolutely choose to march north alone for the independence of the country.
It was very difficult for Lin Tianchen to make such a decision at the beginning, but Lin Tianchen did not just talk about it, he actually did it.
We regard national independence as the root, and the Westerners are ambitious and will become our enemies if they dare to set foot there.
"The spring snow in the three northeastern provinces is about to melt. Let the arsenal produce more armor-piercing shells for anti-tank weapons and try to ensure the yield rate..." Yan Laoxi's face was very serious. After the spring snow melts, it means that the real war is about to come.
In winter, no matter what the Japanese were thinking, they would hold back on their attacks. But things would be different in spring after the snow melted. They would definitely not sit idly by and watch the Tiger Brigade stir up trouble.
"Yes!" Zhao Songshan nodded vigorously.
"Songshan, we need to pay more attention to the mountain city." Yan Laoxi emphasized this with a serious tone.
"Commander, on the surface, we are on the same front with Shancheng." Zhao Songshan reminded him that under the current situation, they were secretly transporting supplies to the Huben Brigade, which was already an exception.
Shancheng turned a blind eye before because there was no falling out between them. Now that Lin Tianchen openly drove out the Russian troops, the Far East Joint Command became useless and the relationship was completely broken.
The mountain city in the future will certainly put huge pressure on the Huben Brigade. If this is not handled properly, the already delicate relationship between Jin and the mountain city may become even more delicate.
"You and I are both familiar with their methods. Shancheng suffered a defeat in Yunnan and Burma, while the three northeastern provinces are advancing step by step. As one side gains strength while the other loses strength, Shancheng will definitely emerge." Yan Laoxi spoke firmly, and after a slight pause, he spoke again:
"They can target others, but not Lin Tianchen!! He can't fall. If he falls, the originally promising situation will be ruined."
Yan Laoxi spoke in a very firm tone. He stood up and patted Zhao Songshan on the shoulder. The force was not strong, but it made Zhao Songshan feel that the burden on his shoulders suddenly became a lot heavier.
Zhao Songshan discovered that after parting with Lin Tianchen at Songjun Mountain, Yan Laoxi seemed like a different person. Because of the appearance of Lin Tianchen, he became more and more tough about various things.
"I will arrange surveillance of the mountain city as soon as possible." Zhao Songshan collected his thoughts and spoke in a firm tone.
"I leave it to you." Yan Laoxi nodded solemnly.
