Just as Ma Shan Zhan was thinking about Zhang Qian, the Japanese were already approaching Xishan Province.
"Men, set up the defense immediately!"
Ma Shan Zhan was not a hesitant person. Since someone had reminded him, regardless of whether it was true or false, as the military chief, he had to make some arrangements. Otherwise, if the news was true, the consequences would be unimaginable.
One had to know that he had tens of millions of Xishan citizens behind him. He could not afford to be careless.
·······················
When Xishan Province began to set up emergency defenses, the Japanese in Xishan Province had already approached the frontline of Xishan Province.
The major general of the 3rd division looked at the sky and smiled."The scenery in China is still so majestic.”
"General Yamamoto, up ahead is the place where the Yoshikawa Regiment was destroyed. Line to Sky."
The major general of the 3rd division, who was called General Yamamoto, repeated the name 'One-Line-Sky'. He nodded and said,"This name is very appropriate. Line to Sky, not bad."
"Order the 2nd Brigade to go around Frontline Sky and attack Liu An County City in the direction of Zhang Clan Fort. He ordered the 1st Brigade to head towards Frontline Sky. I'd like to see how much trouble a small Zhang Clan Fort can cause. Chinese people don't deserve to enjoy such magnificent mountains and rivers. Only our great Yamato Empire deserves to have them! Send a telegram to the military headquarters, all troops set off!”
General Yamamoto gave the order, and the mighty Japanese convoy began to move in two different directions.
Along the way, dust filled the sky. From afar, it looked like an earth dragon.
Liu An County.
The Japanese troops had just sent a telegram to the military headquarters when Zhang Qian's temporary office building intercepted their telegram.
With technology that was nearly a hundred years ahead of them, the Japanese would never have dreamed that Zhang Qian would already know their specific deployment as soon as they sent the message.
Zhang Qian's lips curled into a smile as he received the latest intercepted telegram.
As expected, it was exactly as he had guessed.
After the Japanese learned their lesson, they didn't dare to risk everything to enter the One-Line-Sky.
Even though they had more than 30,000 soldiers, their weapons and equipment were very advanced and their firepower was powerful.
According to Zhang Qian's plan, if the Japanese really entered One-Line-Sky, he wouldn't be able to take advantage of them.
However, since they had divided their forces and sent half of their forces to attack Liu An County City, the number of troops in Frontline Sky would not be too sufficient.
On the other hand, Liu An County and Zhang Clan Fort had left behind a total of two thousand people to guard Zhang Qian's side.
Most of the soldiers, about six to seven thousand, were sent to One-Line-Sky.
Furthermore, the weapons and equipment of Frontline Sky were all the most advanced. All the cannons were also sent there.
Even though the Japanese still outnumbered them by nearly twice.
However, this situation was not insurmountable.
Didn't they rely on the natural geographical advantage of One-Line-Sky to defeat the Yoshikawa United Team last time?
Just doubling the number of soldiers was nothing.
What he needed to worry about now was whether the troops in Frontline Sky could act according to his plan.
At the same time, he also wondered if they would be able to rush back before Liu An County was breached.
After confirming that his plan was correct, Zhang Qian stood up and left the office. He headed to the city defense of the county to check.
Walking on the city tower of Liu An County, Zhang Qian looked at the plain surrounding the entire Liu An County, and asked,""How's the defense going?"
"Reporting to Regiment Commander, the Second Battalion has completed their deployment." They had enough ammunition and supplies to fight a big battle.”
Zhang Qian nodded and said," Remember, this battle is no small matter. It is estimated that there will be more than 10,000 Japanese attacking the city this time, but we only have less than 2,000 people. Therefore, we must be vigilant and not be careless.”
The second battalion commander had thought that their troops would be the same as before, just in charge of guarding the city in case they were unprepared.
He did not expect the situation to be so serious this time.
Zhang Qian looked at the surprise on the Second Battalion Commander's face and said indifferently,""Your 2nd Battalion has never been sent out to fight. Didn't you give me your opinion? This was his chance. As long as you can defend Liu An County, I will give you the first credit! Moreover, Liu An County City had to be defended! Unless all of us die in battle, we have to protect this home for our brothers in Front-Line-Sky. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Regiment Commander. The city is here, but the people are here. If the city is destroyed, the people will die!" The Second Battalion Commander replied with a resolute expression.”
Zhang Qian patted his shoulder in satisfaction.
Zhang Qian returned to the city after inspecting the city's defenses and making sure that there were no loopholes.
Just a moment ago, the viewers in the live streaming room knew that he was going to have a big battle, so they all tried their best to tip Zhang Qian.
In a short while, he had gathered a troop of 1,000 people.
Zhang Qian, who had just returned to the city, gathered the 1,000 soldiers and distributed them with military uniforms, weapons, and ammunition. He then set them up near the two city gates.
All the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion were on top of the city wall. Once the city was breached, there would be no guards left.
With these 1,000 people, even if the city was breached, they wouldn't be defeated.
There was also the possibility of stalling for time in the street fighting.
Even so, Zhang Qian was still not confident.
Less than 3,000 soldiers against 15,000 soldiers, close to 20,000.
The other party's weapons and equipment were not inferior to their own, and might even surpass them.
They might even be carrying heavy weapons.
The situation was not optimistic.
They could only hope that the battle in Frontline Sky would proceed smoothly and that they could return as soon as possible.
························
The battle in Xishan Province was about to break out, and Beihe Province, which was closest to the Manchukuo area occupied by the Japanese, had been reduced to a sea of fire by the Japanese.
Feng Yuxiang's troops fought with Chairman Jiang's troops during the Central Plains War. In the end, they failed and could only join the people.
After all these years of recuperation, the troops under his command already had the power of the past.
Even so, it was still difficult to resist the attack of most of the Japanese troops.
The army was retreating, and the land was being lost bit by bit.
The news of the war in the north quickly reached Nanjin in the south.
Old Jiang was furious when he heard the news.
Japan actually went to war without declaring war.
After pondering for a long time, Old Jiang finally made the decision to resist foreign aggression first.
Their focus was still on Xishan.
The Japanese could only rely on Feng and Yan's own troops to invade.
There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world, and many people wanted to see Old Jiang make a fool of himself.
Even though Old Jiang had strictly forbidden this matter from spreading, the news still spread throughout Nanjin like it had wings.
