As soon as they heard that the Japanese army was coming, the team of more than 3,000 people immediately became restless.
Zhang Sen glanced over and found that many people had fearful expressions on their faces.
He immediately understood that the Northeast Army was already afraid of the Japanese army. Coupled with the fact that the Japanese had chased them all the way to two provinces, they had long developed a deep fear of the Kwantung Army.
From the tens of thousands of Chengde soldiers fleeing without fighting, it could be seen how afraid these soldiers were of the Guandong Army.
Even if Zhang Sen gave them a brand new weapon that was better than the Japanese army, even if they swore to follow Zhang Sen back to their hometown in Northeast China.
However, they were afraid of the Japanese army from the bottom of their hearts. If they did not get rid of this knot, even if they were forced to fight, they might still be defeated.
"Ding! [The System has released the first Main Mission!]”
At this moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded in Zhang Sen's mind.
"Destroy all the invading Japanese troops and consolidate Chengde as your first territory. Mission accomplished. Reward: 400 Thompson submachine guns, four K18 howitzers, and some ammunition. Reward: 3,000 points.”
" Killing enemy points will be added."
After hearing the system's words, Zhang Sen felt a mixture of joy and worry.
The rewards were quite a lot, especially the Thompson submachine gun and the K18 howitzer. If he equipped his troops with them, they would be able to kill the Japanese.
However, with the current combat strength of the army, Zhang Sen was not confident.
He turned around and asked the soldier who reported,""How many Japanese came?"
"Not many, about a hundred people."
"A hundred people?" Zhang Sen's jaw almost dropped to the ground.
A hundred bones scared away tens of thousands of Chengde defenders?
Zhang Sen was furious. No wonder the Japanese called the Chinese the Sick Men of East Asia. They had been humiliated by these useless cowards. They were not worthy of being Chinese soldiers.
"Long Wenzhang!" Zhang Sen shouted angrily.
"Yes!" Long Wenzhang ran out of the team and stood in front of Zhang Sen.
Zhang Sen was furious." Take your battalion and kill all these fearless Japanese. Is there a problem?"”
"No!"
"Everyone, go to the front line and watch." The Japanese are nothing. All of you, cheer up. Don't tarnish the name of the Chinese soldiers. Don't forget, you are my army, the number one Northeast Army in the world.”
Long Wenzhang turned around and shouted at his 1st Battalion,""Bring your weapons and follow me!”
The soldiers carried their guns and followed Long Wenzhang out of the city.
Zhang Sen led the rest of the troops and followed behind the 1st Battalion.
After Long Wenzhang led the 1st Battalion out of the city, they immediately encountered more than 100 Japanese cavalrymen charging towards Chengde.
Many soldiers of the 1st Battalion couldn't help but tremble. Long Wenzhang turned around and shouted,""From now on, whoever dares to flee or not fight with all their might will be killed without mercy.”
The soldiers were stunned by Long Wenzhang's murderous aura and immediately perked up.
"Prepare for battle!" Long Wenzhang waved his hand, and all the troops immediately dispersed, quickly setting up defenses in the camp outside the city.
At this time, the Japanese cavalrymen also noticed the Northeastern Army infantry outside the city.
The Japanese squadron leader said arrogantly,"So it's a bunch of Chinese infantry. Everyone, prepare for battle and kill them all with me.”
All the Japanese cavalrymen loaded their bullets and prepared to charge.
The reason why the Guandong Army was so arrogant was because the Northeast Army had been chased by them all the way.
They chased all the way, while the Northeast Army escaped all the way.
Even if the Northeast Army resisted, they were quickly defeated by the Japanese army.
Therefore, the Japanese army had already formed a habitual mindset. As long as they encountered the Northeast Army, they just had to rush up and fight. The other party would definitely be defeated and escape quickly.
Therefore, even though the Japanese army only had about a hundred people, they still dared to attack Chengde.
"Kill!" The Japanese squadron leader shouted.
All of the Japanese soldiers immediately let out strange cries and raised their spears to attack Chengde.
Long Wenzhang stared at the Japanese soldiers charging at him. When the Japanese soldiers were within 100 meters of him, he immediately shouted at the entire army,""Open fire, hit him hard."
"Bang bang bang"
The soldiers of the 1st Battalion fired in a panic, and many bullets missed their targets and brushed past the Japanese.
However, even with over a thousand people firing, over twenty Japanese were still shot down from their horses.
Long Wenzhang roared," Continue to fire! Hit! Hit him hard!"”
With the first successful firing, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion were instantly filled with confidence. It turned out that the Japanese were not invulnerable. They could also be killed.
"Bang bang bang"
More and more bullets flew towards the Japanese army, and countless Japanese soldiers fell under their horses one by one.
The Japanese squadron leader did not expect the counterattack of the Northeast Army to be so fierce. He was so scared that he immediately turned his horse around and fled.
However, more than a dozen bullets shot at him at the same time, turning him and his horse into a sieve and falling into a pool of blood.
In less than three minutes, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers were killed outside Chengde City.
The soldiers of the 1st Battalion were still panting heavily. Many of them looked at their hands in disbelief, then at the corpses of the ghosts outside the city.
Until now, they still could not believe that they had actually killed a squadron of Japanese cavalry.
Zhang Sen then ordered all the teams to gather and reprimanded them in front of everyone."Did you see that? Everyone has two shoulders and one head. You're not any worse than the Japanese!”
"The guns in your hands are not fire sticks. On the contrary, your weapons are better than those of the Japanese.”
"Now I want to ask, is there anyone still afraid of the Japanese? The guns in your hands and running, are you all for show?”Zhang Sen shouted.
"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid!" Everyone responded from the bottom of their hearts.
After experiencing this small battle, they had completely driven away their inner demons.
Now, this team was no longer afraid of the Japanese army.
Zhang Sen nodded in satisfaction." This is the team I want. Remember this from today onwards." I, Zhang Sen, have the strongest troops in the world. Get ready and set off. We'll kill our way back to our hometown!”
