Chapter Thirty-Six: Unexpected

  "Yes!" Zhao Zhen continued: "But this Fengtian...?"

  "Don't worry here! I will definitely hold on for more than a month! You must make good use of this period to get the troops in order, expand and strengthen them! In preparation for the future fierce battle!"

  "Yes! We guarantee to complete the task!" Everyone shouted in unison.

  Huang Xiansheng hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "Commander! You should lead the troops to retreat instead. I'm more familiar with Fengtian, I'll stay behind!"

  "No!" Zhao Xiao Feng shook his head. He actually didn't want to stay, but if he ran away like this, all his previous efforts would be in vain! How could he still make a name for himself? In the end, it was that person who led the soldiers in Fengtian to resist the enemy who would gain fame. For the sake of quickly developing and expanding his team, he might as well take some risks. Besides, when he was an assassin, wasn't he always on the edge of death every day?

  "Commander!... Commander! You must take care of yourself!"

  "Alright! Don't be wishy-washy, remember! Take everything that can be taken away! And the radio station! It must be guaranteed to be unobstructed! Must remember! You are all Northeast Anti-Japanese Army people! Have nothing to do with any regime, we are the armed forces of our own Northeast people!" Zhao Xiaofeng didn't want to make a wedding dress for others.

  "Yes! We remember!" everyone exclaimed in unison.

  Seeing all the old and weak soldiers gradually withdrawing from the battlefield, Zhao Xiao Feng said to the driver Huang Bao Shan beside him: "Now we have less than three thousand people left, and after removing the flying squadrons, tank regiments, artillery regiments, mortar regiments, and machine gun regiments deployed near the North Gate, the available troops are only two thousand. How long do you think we can resist the Japanese army of 30,000?"

  Huang Baoshan shook his head and said, "At most one day!"

  "Hmm!" Zhao Xiao Feng said with a sigh: "Do you know the Battle of Stalingrad? That was...". Zhao Xiao Feng suddenly stopped, because he remembered that the Battle of Stalingrad took place in July 1942.

  "What's Stalin?" Huang Baoshan asked in surprise.

  "Alright! I said we can hold on for at least a month!" Zhao Xiaofeng said proudly.

  "What?" Huang Baoshan stuck out his tongue, full of disbelieving expression.

  "Order the troops on the grass to retreat immediately, but lay mines on the road near Xiaoxi Gate, don't let the little devils come in easily!" Zhao Xiao Feng commanded.

  "Yes!" The signal soldier immediately started sending signals.

  "Order Ah Lang to immediately gather all soldiers to start building bunkers, fortifications and traps. No hidden place can be missed!"

  "Yes!"

  "Order Mountain Cat to lay mines immediately near the South Gate, must block the Japanese army for one day!"

  "Yes!"

  The next morning, all the civilians, old soldiers and wounded soldiers in Fengtian City, including hospitals and supplies, retreated from the North Gate. Now, only Zhao Xiaofeng's 3,000 troops were left in Fengtian City.

  "Damn it!" Zhao Xiao Feng cursed: "Huang Xiansheng, this son of a bitch! Didn't even leave us any supplies! Even the bullet production line was taken away! It's simply robbery! Damn it! Really thought I'd definitely die!"

  "Commander!" Ah Lang stepped forward and said: "Huang Jun is also kind-hearted, he doesn't want our arsenal to fall into the enemy's hands. Moreover, he doesn't want you to stay in Fengtian for too long, hoping that when you see that there are no more weapons or ammunition, you will withdraw quickly!"

  "Hmm!" Zhao Xiao Feng responded with a cold hum, but he actually understood what Huang Xian Sheng meant.

  "Report!" The communications soldier ran over excitedly, holding a telegram: "Commander! All of our planes except for one that was shot down by the Japanese have landed safely at Jinan Airport!"

  "Good!" Zhao Xiao Feng finally cracked a smile and asked, "What's the evaluation from outside?"

  "The National Army asked us to immediately retreat beyond the Great Wall, they said that troops have been sent to meet us! And expressed certainty that all aircraft and supplies would be delivered to a safe border, and announced the appointment of Commander as Major General!"

  "Hmph!" Zhao Xiaofeng sneered.

  "They gave us a higher evaluation, expressed willingness to assist us in resisting Japan, and expressed willingness to provide any assistance! Hope we don't fight hard, and launch guerrilla warfare against the Japanese army!"

  "Hmm!" Zhao Xiao Feng still didn't say anything.

  "Major newspapers around the world have reported on the heroic deeds of our Northeast Anti-Japanese Army, and a German military delegation hopes to meet with the commander! Moreover, many governments and overseas Chinese have donated large quantities of war materials to us!"

  "Hum! This is what some national governments want to take advantage of us! But this is also a good thing!" Zhao Xiaofeng nodded.

  "The war launched by the Kwantung Army within Japan is extremely infuriating! Many pro-peace officials began to make trouble in the cabinet, but the military's stance was very tough! They stated that they would massively increase troops in Manchuria to ensure the safety of Japanese people."

  "Hah! They're bringing up the Japanese I slaughtered in Fengtian City again!" Zhao Xiao Feng sneered: "Fine! Let them taste the power of Fengtian's Hanging Meat Machine!"

  "Commander!" At this time, Pu Ye left something for you, Shi Li held up a package and handed it to Zhao Xiaofeng.

  "Hmm!" Zhao Xiao Feng pulled it open and looked, "Hehe! This old thing is still quite considerate, now I'm not afraid of getting hurt!"

  When Pu Ye saw Zhao Xiaofeng injured, he immediately ordered someone to bring the space suit that was impervious to knives and guns from the base. Zhao Xiaofeng put it on right away. Although the clothes were very thick, they were not inappropriate for autumn in Northeast China. Zhao Xiaofeng only wore a single layer of clothing outside.

  "Haha!" Zhao Xiaofeng smugly patted his clothes, having a strong desire to show off his skills, but in the end, reason overcame his vanity.

  On September 23, the Japanese 39th Mixed Brigade led by Lieutenant General Lin Heiichiro arrived outside Mukden Castle and immediately began ordering artillery to fire a series of shots at Mukden Castle. The Japanese army took advantage of its superiority in heavy artillery and air support to continuously consume the living forces of the Chinese army inside the city, especially the Grass Flying Squad, which had only 500-600 people hiding near Xiaoxi Gate, was left with more than 300 people after a morning of bombing.

  "Commander! The flying squadron hiding near the North Gate was bombed by enemy planes, two aircraft were destroyed! Three more aircraft suffered varying degrees of damage."

  "Commander! The cannons hidden in the residential houses were bombed by enemy planes, killing dozens of gunners and destroying more than a dozen large-caliber guns!"

  "Commander! A tank hidden in the woods has been blown up and all eighteen soldiers inside were killed!"

  "Commander! Order our cannons to counterattack!"

  "No way! It's not time yet!" Zhao Xiao Feng gritted his teeth in anger after hearing the report, "You little Japanese! Just you wait and see!"

  After noon, the enemy's artillery fire suddenly stopped. Zhao Xiao Feng immediately ordered his troops to first treat the wounded and then continue to repair their fortifications.

  Before long, sporadic explosions were heard near the small western gate and the southern gate. These were all the sounds of their own landmines exploding!

  "Good! The enemy will need at least one night to get through this minefield!" Zhao Xiao Feng nodded and said: "The enemy has been bombing us all morning, they must think we don't have the strength to hold on. Now order the soldiers to bury mines fifty meters in front of our hidden position!"

  "Report to the commander! We've run out of landmines!" Ah Lang said.

  "What?" Zhao Xiaofeng shouted: "Where are the landmines? Where have all the landmines gone?"

  "They were all taken away by Huang Junchang!" Ah Lang said in a low voice.

  "Damn it!" Zhao Xiao Feng cursed: "Fine! Even if there are no landmines, I'll still send all these little devils to the afterlife!"

  "Commander! When can the enemy come up?" Ah Wolf asked.

  "Tomorrow morning!" Zhao Xiao Feng said: "The enemy has just arrived from North Korea and was blocked by our landmines for an entire afternoon, they are now exhausted. Tomorrow morning, I think they will first use planes to bomb us before launching a full-scale attack! So, I order that tomorrow morning, all artillery be brought out to crazily fire at the enemy's planes and positions, we must exhaust all ammunition, then all artillerymen retreat to the front slope with their cannons, awaiting Commander Huang's orders."

  "Yes!"

  "Alright, we can now have a good rest for the night! Tomorrow morning, order all soldiers to store enough water and food in their hiding places. This battle is going to last for a long time!"

  Zhao Xiaofeng now most wants to sleep, he suddenly thought of Sakura, that Japanese woman where did she go? Oh no! She is still in Shao Shuai's mansion, the bombing by the Japanese army will definitely blow her to death!

  Zhao Xiaofeng immediately rushed back to the Young Marshal's Mansion. Fortunately, the damage to the Young Marshal's Mansion was not too great, and the small Qinglou building did not suffer any damage at all. Perhaps the Japanese deliberately wanted to preserve this place.

  Zhao Xiao Feng walked towards his own house, gently touching the wound on his chest. It had long since healed, but he didn't want to be stabbed by that Japanese girl again. Now he was wearing a spacesuit that made him invulnerable to knives and guns.

  Pushing open the door, he looked inside and exclaimed, "Huh? How come there's no one?" Zhao Xiao Feng was secretly puzzled. At this time, the soldiers hiding in the Shaoye Fu came out from behind the fake mountain and said: "Commander! All the valuable things in the Shaoye Fu have been taken away by General Huang!"

  "Did she take that woman away too?" Zhao Xiao Feng asked in surprise.

  "Yes!"

  "Alright! You can go back!" Zhao Xiao Feng disappointingly waved his hand and went back to bed, falling asleep immediately. This time, Zhao Xiao Feng actually slept all the way until after 3 o'clock in the second half of the night.

  "Trouble! The enemy is making a move ahead of schedule!" Zhao Xiao Feng had a dream, in which the Japanese devils have already started taking action!

  "Communicator! Communicator!" Zhao Xiaofeng shouted.

  The attendant who had been following him immediately ran over.

  "Get the artillery glasses out immediately!" Zhao Xiaofeng shouted.

  "Commander!" the communications officer whispered: "You were sleeping very soundly just now, so I didn't call you. The glasses had already pushed out the big guns last night and they're all set up!"

  "Right! Let's go take a look!" Zhao Xiao Feng immediately said.

  Zhao Xiaofeng had just arrived at the artillery camp when he heard a deafening roar coming from the Japanese position, getting closer and closer. Zhao Xiaofeng immediately pushed the communications officer from the student regiment to the ground, "Boom!" A shell landed on the side of the artillery camp, and the smoke filled the sky, causing the communications officer to cough violently.

  "It's started!" Zhao Xiaofeng muttered to himself as he gazed up at the sky.

  At this moment, more than 90 large cannons around me roared "Boom! Boom! Boom......" Three enemy planes were hit and turned into fireballs before they could drop their bombs. Nearly twenty enemy planes were almost completely destroyed in the blink of an eye, with only two planes escaping back to their own positions while trailing black smoke.

  The glasses seized the opportunity and took advantage of the Japanese being arrogant and exceptionally low-flying, launching a dense barrage of firepower at them!

  "Oh! Oh!......" Little messenger jumped up excitedly, all the soldiers of the anti-Japanese army who saw this scene jumped up, and this unexpected blow immediately made the Japanese air force completely bankrupt.
