The 29th Division wasn't a newly formed troop. They had been through hundreds of battles and were best at hand-to-hand combat. That was because they had no choice. The northwest was famous for being poor.
Many of the soldiers were poor people before they joined the army. Some of them were machetemen from the northwest, mounted gangsters, and were very tough.
These men from the Northwest Army were all well-known figures. How could they let the Japanese soldiers ride on their heads and poop? After that, they even said that they pooped very well. Was that possible? Don't even think about it.
"Baka Yalu, you're dying.”The soldier got up, picked up his rifle, and opened fire, but he missed.
This was going to be a good show. After the first shot, the situation was no longer under everyone's control.
"Kill them, open fire." The officers of the 29th Division were all very experienced. As soon as they saw the other side open fire, they immediately began to counterattack.
The Japanese soldiers were in an uproar. The door was opened, and a large group of Japanese soldiers wearing khaki-colored clothes and big brimmed hats got out of the army with neat tactical movements. They looked for cover everywhere and then began to fight back.
At the 29th Division's headquarters in Jinan City, Xiao Shenglin was discussing something with his sister and some staff officers.
Ding, ding, ding. The phone rang.
Liang Zhen answered the phone and said," I'm Liang Zhen. This is the military. What's the matter?"”
"Deputy Liang, one of my regiments is in contact with the Japanese and can't retreat.”Ma Jicai said anxiously over the phone.
The 29th Division had three divisions, a cavalry brigade and an artillery regiment.
The three division commanders were Ma Jicai, Shi Yin, and Song Yuanhu. The brigade commander of the cavalry was Ge Yuzhang, and the artillery commander was Han Fuli.
These five people were the Five Great Warriors of the 29th Division, Xiao Shengnan's loyal subordinates.
"Commander Ma, can you explain? Did you fight with the Japanese?”Liang Zhen frowned. This situation was a little bad.
"How would I know? Anyway, they're fighting. Hurry up and get Marshal Nan to give me artillery support. The Japanese's artillery is very fierce, very fierce.”Ma Jicai's division was at the front, and Liang Zhen could hear the sounds of gunfire over the phone.
The Japanese army reacted quickly. The troops at the back immediately unloaded the supplies. The artillery completed the construction of the position in a very short period of time and then began to test fire. Finally, they cooperated with the Ono regiment in front. The coordination of the infantry and artillery was very 233.
"Regiment Commander, the Xiaoye Regiment has exchanged fire with the Chinese army.”Chief of Staff Ishikawa Shintetsu said.
"Which Chinese army is it?"
"I just got the information from the Black Dragon Gang. It's Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army, the 29th Division. The commander is Xiao Shengnan. This woman is not simple.”Ishikawa Shingetsu sighed. A weak woman who could get to such a position was often more dangerous than a male general.
" The artillery is very fast. Pass on my orders. Tell the exploration teams in Nakamura to gather immediately and set off from Suncun Town. They will bypass the enemy's front line of defense and attack the enemy's flanks. Also, immediately send someone to contact the Northern Expedition Army's headquarters and order them to stop firing.”Araki Sadao did not understand why the Northwest Army would block his division.
This was a tactic that the Japanese used. First, they would force the other party to cease fire through diplomacy, and then they would launch a sneak attack. It was very despicable.
"I understand, Major General. What about the cavalry?”
"Let Kuroda attack from the northern front. Burn, kill, and plunder to provide rations and resources for the army. I want to leave the mark of the empire on this land.”
The citizens of Jinan City heard the sound of gunfire. Chang Kaishen also received the news that the 29th Army was fighting with the Japanese.
At this time, Sasaki, the clerk sent by the Japanese, also came to the Northern Expedition Army headquarters. This guy was one of the main culprits of the Jinling Massacre in the original time and space, and one of the regiment commanders of the Sixteenth Division.
This person knew Chang Kaishen many years ago. At that time, Chang Kaishen was still the Chief of Staff.
Moreover, this person was an admirer of Sun Dapao. He was a true Huaxia expert. When he was in Guangdong Province, he had a deep relationship with the officials of the Republic of China government.
"Commander Jiang, you must take responsibility for your actions. You are provoking a war between the two countries.”Sasaki threatened Chang Kaishen as soon as he came up. At this time, Chang Kaishen was still relatively close to Japan in terms of politics.
"I've already sent someone to the 29th Division's headquarters to ask them to cease fire immediately.”Chang Kaishen could not stand up. The Northern Expedition Army looked powerful, but there were already internal divisions.
"Jiang Sang, this is not enough. You must punish the commander of that army severely and hand her over to our locust army to deal with.”Sasaki said it with ease. Xiao Shengnan wasn't Chang Kaishen's direct descendant. He had tens of thousands of troops under him. If he hadn't changed sides, the Northern Expedition Army would have been in trouble.
How could Chang Kaishen agree? If he agreed, the other generals of the Northern Expedition Army would be disappointed. Moreover, Xiao Shengnan would not surrender without a fight. Why would he be the villain for nothing?
At the 29th Division's headquarters, Xiao Shengnan was commanding the troops to reinforce the front line. The Japanese were too bold. They dared to attack with just 10,000 people.
Fortunately, the 29th Division had just been equipped with German-style weapons, such as light machine guns, mortars, heavy machine guns, and submachine guns. Their weapons were not inferior to the Japanese.
At this time, the Northern Expedition Army had also arrived.
When Xiao Shenglin heard what the other party said, he flew into a rage.
"What are you doing? The Japanese's bayonet is already at our ribs, and you want us to retreat at this time?”Xiao Shenglin cursed Chang Kaishen in his heart. He had no balls at all. Why didn't he dare to fight with the Japanese? If the 100,000-strong Northern Expedition Army in Jinan City really wanted to fight the 6th division, it wouldn't take long for them to be devoured.
"It's not retreat, it's a ceasefire." The messenger argued.
Xiao Shenglin was furious. He grabbed the other party's collar and threw him out of the military headquarters. The two sides were locked in battle. If they stopped fighting now, wouldn't they be sending the soldiers on the front line to their deaths?
Were they hoping that the devils would be kind enough to let the Northwest Army go?
"Pfft, this Old Jiang is really something.”Xiao Shenglin calmed himself down.
"Hehe, he's thinking about the big picture. Right now, the northern expedition is the most important thing.”Xiao Shengnan could see clearly that for Old Jiang, Jinan was far less important than the Northern Expedition. However, he didn't know that the Japanese had deliberately come to stop him.
"I don't care. One word and I'll beat those Japanese pigs to death.”
