Chapter Forty-two: Sudden Attack

  The two sides fighting on the battlefield were stunned, and they saw flames spewing out from behind the goods. In an instant, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces amidst the dense gunfire.

  The Japanese army suddenly woke up, and a tank shell exploded next to the carriage, but unfortunately, the carriage was not affected at all. With two tongues of fire spitting out, it arrived in front of the Japanese army in an instant.

  Mauser's bullets crazily shot and killed every Japanese soldier in sight, grenade after grenade fell down, the entire battalion that was attacking instantly became chaotic.

  Heavy machine guns, light machine guns, rifles, grenade launchers, tank cannons, mortars, infantry guns, all the weapons that could be used in the hands of the Japanese army were aimed at this ferocious tiger that had intruded into the wolf pack.

  Nothing worked, the bullets couldn't penetrate the carriage, even if they could enter the door, they couldn't hurt the Vickers gunner behind the sandbags and shields, let alone the bouncing bullets that made no sound.

  The mortar shells were useless, the howitzer shells were useless, and even a direct hit by an armor-piercing tank shell was useless; this truck was even more indestructible than a tank.

  Yang Feng didn't slow down at all, and the speeding car directly crashed into the middle of the Japanese army, with soldiers sitting in the driver's compartment holding a submachine gun each, resting on the window gap and sweeping both sides with arrogance.

  The gunman behind the car didn't even bother using his gun and instead threw grenades in all directions with his hands.

  In just a few minutes, the speeding armored train pierced through the Japanese army's attacking formation, charging into the Japanese artillery position with great momentum, and then flattened this place like a tank before turning around and retreating while killing its way back.

  The 63 soldiers behind were stunned, watching the cargo wreak havoc among the Japanese troops until Yang Feng started to return, and it wasn't until then that Feng Yutian and another lieutenant general reacted.

  "Damn it! What are you all staring at?! Charge forward, everyone follow me!" The lieutenant colonel yelled while waving his box cannon.

  A cavalry regiment, plus two infantry brigades, more than ten thousand soldiers roared and waved various weapons in their hands, rifles, pistols, big knives, long spears, even earth cannons, surging towards the Japanese army like a tide.

  Yang Feng loudly rushed towards a tank, against the tank gun's shooting, casually threw a ready-made Molotov cocktail on the engine cover, then turned his head and rushed towards another tank.

  In the broken glass bottle, a mixture of gasoline and sulfuric acid melted rubber flowed thickly over the tank, even flowing into the engine compartment. The sulfuric acid reacted with the medicinal water on the wrapped paper strips, instantly turning into a raging fire. The temperature of the steel rose rapidly, toxic smoke poured into the vehicle, and soon the people inside had to open the hatch to escape. But at this time, the high temperature ignited the fuel tank, and after a loud explosion, the entire tank turned into a torch. The fierce flames engulfed everything, and the first tank member who escaped was covered in flames, screaming as he jumped down, rolling on the ground until his voice disappeared.

  The tank behind him exploded again after ammunition was detonated.

  The same situation was played out on all the remaining tanks, and in less than two minutes, seven Japanese tanks and armored cars were set ablaze by Molotov cocktails.

  Without the support of tanks and artillery, the Japanese army had no courage to resist, and soon began to retreat. The soldiers of the 63rd Army, who had been suppressed by them for a long time, finally turned over and became the masters. How could they be allowed to escape? The cavalry and infantry chased after them in a swarm.

  "Hurry up and get down, can't you see everyone is chasing after the enemy!" Yang Feng kicked the soldier out of the driver's cabin with one foot, then looked around sneakily, pulled out a DV camera from the car, switched it to black and white mode, and aimed the lens at the battlefield.

  Burning Japanese tanks, bodies of Japanese soldiers scattered all over the ground, Guo army soldiers with high morale, abandoning their helmets and armor, fleeing in disarray - what a wonderful scene! Go back and get a camera from this era, then re-shoot these scenes onto film, and take it to the front gate of the Wangfu in Shunxing County to show it off. I reckon Zhang Xiaotou would vomit blood.

  Yang Feng was having a great time in Chifeng, but his old haunt in Beiping had turned upside down. As soon as Liu Haining heard that he had gone to Rehe alone, she immediately became anxious.

  The old man already regards him as a future son-in-law. He has only one son and one daughter, his son is studying in the United States and has no intention of returning, and his daughter is like an immature child. Who will take care of the large family business in the end? It's not easy to come across someone like Yang Feng who is capable and trustworthy, so how can he not be moved?

  He can somewhat see through his daughter's thoughts, although Yang Feng seems to be no better to Xiner than he is to Yang Jing, but in this era having three wives and four concubines is not a big deal, and since Xiner and Yang Jing have a good relationship, they might as well get married together, so it can be said that he is now more anxious than anyone else.

  "Do you know he went to Rehe and didn't even tell me? What are you doing here?" He roared, pointing at Li Mingde's nose.

  "Old master, I didn't expect Mr. Yang to leave so quickly either! He just contacted Richard and Heinrich yesterday, who knew he would take the military supplies and leave directly at night!" Li Mingde said with a sorrowful face.

  "Liu, it's no use rushing now. Yang's car is probably already outside the Great Wall by now. It's better to quickly contact the 29th Army and let them think of a solution." Wang Chuanming advised from the side, he also didn't expect Yang Feng to be so fast.

  He just mentioned it during the day and left directly at night.

  Xiao Zhenyang quickly arrived after receiving their call, and as soon as he heard that Yang Feng had gone to Rehe, this guy also panicked. He knew much more than these people, the Northeast Army was on the verge of collapse, the Japanese army was pressing in, and Feng Zhanhai's plea for help telegram had been sent to Zhang Zuoxiang, who had no troops at his disposal. All he could give his nephew was an order to hold out where they were, without any reinforcements. Under these circumstances, Yang Feng going to Chifeng would be like a sheep entering the tiger's den!

  "General Xiao, I just don't understand. You have hundreds of thousands of elite troops guarding the rear, and yet you're watching a group of poorly armed soldiers fight against the Japanese in front. Can you live with your conscience? Can you face the people back home?" Liu Haining exclaimed angrily, no longer caring about saving face, as he furiously spoke to Xiao Zhenyan.

  "Liu Gong, what can we do? General Zhang's order is for us to defend Pingdong, we can't disobey military orders, can we? You also said that those are cannon fodders, in General Zhang's eyes, they are just sacrifices to be killed by the Japanese. When the Japanese get tired of killing, his Northeast Army main force will face the Japanese army again, and the pressure will still be light." Xiao Zhenying said with a bitter smile.

  "Good-for-nothing, national calamity, Yang Feng was right, that's just a Zhang Xiaotuzi! Should have cut it off earlier!" Liu Haining cursed.

  "I heard that Hu Shi is contacting a group of people, asking the Chairman to replace Zhang Hankui!" Xiao Zhenyan said in a low voice.

  "Fine, even a pig's head is better than him!"

  "I'm afraid that by then the Northeast Army won't listen."

  "The Northeast Army isn't stupid either, now the Japanese are right at our doorstep, if we keep following this useless thing, we'll all end up getting buried together. Let's switch to one of Chiang Kai-shek's men, at least they can bring a batch of Central Army troops with them, they're begging for it!" Liu Haining sneered.

  Thank you book friend Yín Shé Luàn Wǔ for the reward. Also, I finally received the news today.
