Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Looking at the fleeting yellow figure, Zhang Huaiyi wondered in his heart, was it his senior brother's trick, or the trick of the local disciple? He was a little unsure.

Because this is the Northeast, which is the territory of the immortals, it is normal for them to appear here.

Zhang Huaiyi felt something was wrong, purely because Zhang Zhiwei was very powerful among the immortals. When he was in the Magic City, he had dealt with many immortals, so when he saw an immortal, he instinctively thought of his senior brother.

But in the current situation, he couldn't catch the immortal to ask, so he could only keep the doubts in his heart.

In fact, it was not just him. In the crowd, Gao Li from the Gao family found Liao Huzi and Guan Shihua and asked them what happened to the immortal just now.

Gao Li is the younger brother of the head of the Gao family and also the top disciple of Hu Tianbiao.

He recognized that the yellow fairy just now was not a fairy from Hu Tianbiao's hall, so he came to ask Liao Huzi whether the fairy just now was "one of their own". If not, he would get rid of it.

Not all immortals in the Northeast are enemies of the Japanese pirates.

Some of them even joined the Shinto religion of the Japanese pirates and became ghosts and gods there.

The immortal whose origins are unknown suddenly appears here, he might be a spy of the Japanese pirates.

Liao Huzi told Gao Li that judging from the smell, the Huang Xian just now was indeed from their lobby.

Upon hearing that they were friendly forces, Gao Li felt relieved and did not ask any more questions. He continued to prepare for battle.

However, despite saying this, Liao Huzi and Guan Shihua were a little puzzled.

As disciples of the top incense burner, they can tell whether the immortals are from their own temple by the smell.

Although the immortal just now did exude the aura of their own sect, they did not recognize him.

It is actually not uncommon for people not to recognize their own clan members.

Because, in addition to the four pillars that form the cornerstone of the hall, other immortals are moving in real time, some are entering the hall, some are leaving the hall, and there are even temporary workers doing odd jobs. It is normal not to recognize them all. They just don't know what the Yellow Immortal is doing in the rear. Before they take action, they have already communicated with the immortals and made arrangements.

At this time, the immortals should be wandering around the pirates' activity area to investigate, why did they come to our side for no reason? !

Hu Niu and Guan Shihua didn't think too much about this. Don't try to guess what the immortals are thinking. The disciples can't completely control the immortals. It's normal for them to wander around on a whim.

"What a pity, it's winter now, and Uncle Liu's family has to hibernate. Otherwise, there are poisonous snakes hiding in the reed marshes, which will definitely give these bastards a hard time!" Guan Shihua said to himself.

Liao Huzi thought more: "The smell of that immortal just now didn't seem to be from Sixth Master, but from Ninth Master's hall. But didn't Ninth Master go to the Magic City with his whole hall?"

Tiantong Church is a large church consisting of multiple churches, and the branches within it are clearly separated from each other.

Liao Huzi and Guan Shihua are both hall sweepers. Master Huang Liu also used to be a hall sweeper, but now he is in charge of the medical hall, while Master Huang Jiu is in charge of the guard hall.

There may be communication between the heads of branch halls, but there is very little communication between the immortals and the disciples who are sent out to perform rituals.

This is like a branch under a group. The leadership of the branch may have some overlap, but the employees below often don’t have much interaction with each other. The most they know is that they are under the same group.

"Did Master Jiu withdraw some of the troops from the hall and return to the Northeast?"

"Master Jiu takes orders from the Grand Master. If it really brought people back to the Northeast, does that mean that the Grand Master was behind this?"

Thinking of this, Liao Huzi became excited. It would be great if the leader really wanted to intervene in this battle.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Zhang Huaiyi. This was the leader's junior brother. If he was here, how could the leader be far away?
Zhang Huaiyi was a very sensitive person. He noticed the gaze behind him and wondered, "Why is this old man looking at me?"

People with Zhang Huaiyi's personality hate the attention of outsiders the most.

He rode his horse forward and came to the side of a soldier. The tall body of the Northeastern soldier completely blocked Liao Huzi's sight.

Northeastern people are mostly warm-hearted. The soldier saw a short Taoist priest who looked like a child emerging from the cocoon next to him, and he was a little surprised:
"The Taoist priest is not from Tieshashan, right?"

Zhang Huaiyi smiled shyly: "I'm from Longhu Mountain."

From the south, as expected... the soldier thought to himself, and then said with admiration:

"The Taoist priest came all the way from the south to fight the Japanese pirates. I want to thank you on behalf of our Northeast."

"No need, no need. Every citizen has a share of responsibility for the fate of a country!" Zhang Huaiyi noticed that a red silk scarf with a Chinese character "囍" on it was tied to the gun on the soldier's back. He was puzzled and asked, "What does this mean?"

The soldier patted the red silk scarf on his gun and said with a smile:

"I just got married a few days ago, on the front line. My wife sewed this with her own hands. She said it would bless me with safety. If the Taoist priest had come a few days earlier, he might have been able to attend my wedding."

Zhang Huaiyi was stunned for a moment, his eyes lowered, and then asked: "What's your name?"

"My name is Li Qingshan, and I'm the company commander of the cavalry brigade!" the soldier said with a smile.

"Your name and I have a special connection. I'm giving you a talisman to bring you peace. I hope it can keep you safe!"

Zhang Huaiyi took out a yellow talisman from his pocket and handed it to Li Qingshan.

"Thank you very much, Taoist Priest."

Li Qingshan took it with gratitude, stuffed it solemnly into his cotton coat, and pressed it against his body.

He also knew that the people in front of him were truly capable. The red silk given by his wife was just a good wish, but the amulet given by the little Taoist priest might really have a protective effect.

He is a smart man... Zhang Huaiyi retracted his gaze. What he gave to the other party just now was a Six Ding and Six Jia talisman, which had a certain protective effect. Maybe it could save his life and let him go back and reunite with his wife.

The world is changing all the time, and the sum of each individual change is the general trend.

The general trend is difficult to reverse, but personal changes can be reversed.

If Zhang Huaiyi was proficient in numerology, he would be able to see that the warrior had changed because of this talisman.

At the same time, on the north bank of the river bridge, the Japanese pirates' vanguard of more than 1,300 people were defeated by the troops led by Captain Xu of the defending guard regiment after losing several armored vehicles.

However, their offensive did not stop. After a short rest, the Japanese pirates received reinforcements, a total of 4,000 people. Under the cover of seven aircraft, 40 heavy artillery pieces and four armored vehicles, they began to advance towards the defenders on the north bank.

Captain Xu, who had just defeated the Japanese pirates' vanguard, continued to hide in the temporarily dug trenches. When the Japanese pirates crossed the river to the middle of the river, he began to attack fiercely with rifles, machine guns and mortars.

Relying on their firepower advantage, the Japanese pirates advanced all the way to the second half of the river, where a large number of mines were laid.

It was dozens of degrees below zero, and the ground and the river were frozen like iron. It was extremely difficult to lay out a map, but everyone worked together and managed to lay out a dense minefield.

The Japanese pirates advanced into the minefield, causing a series of mine explosions.

The hot blood splashed out, but before it could fall, it was frozen into a purple-black hard shell by the extremely cold weather. The explosion caused a lot of casualties to the Japanese pirates and also split their vanguard into several sections.

However, the Japanese pirates had a high level of combat proficiency. After the explosion, they quickly gathered their troops and tried to regroup.

Behind the Japanese pirates, the commander Colonel Kisaburo Hamamoto saw this scene and couldn't help but frowned:

"The resistance of these Chinese people is quite strong!"

Since the beginning of the war, his 16th Regiment had been unstoppable, occupying more than a dozen cities in succession without ever encountering any decent resistance. Even if there were a few ignorant outlaw organizations causing trouble occasionally, they were easily defeated by him.

He never took the army of this land seriously. In his opinion, as long as his army went there, the other side would be defeated.

But he never expected that the army he encountered this time was completely different from the previous ones. Not only did it defeat his vanguard, but it also greatly reduced the number of reinforcements.

"idiot!"

Kisaburo Hamamoto cursed angrily. He felt deeply humiliated and knew that he would become the laughing stock of the army for some time to come.

"We must kill them all and let them know the consequences of resisting us!"

Kisaburo Hamamoto said harshly, and then he began to order the samurai and ninjas who were hiding in the rear to press forward.

Now the vanguard troops are almost reaching the enemy positions, and in close combat, the efficiency of killing the enemy with the Type 38 rifle is far less than the direct charge and bayonet fight.

In bayonet combat, those samurai and ninjas could fight against a hundred people at once, and if used well, they could even decide the outcome of a war.

The Japanese pirates shouted "Long live the army", and more than a thousand bayonets shone like a wave of cold blades in the snow.

Seeing this, Captain Xu quickly sent out a signal to the cavalry brigades lying in ambush on both sides to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese pirates.

The two cavalry brigades lying in ambush in the forest began to neigh their horses the moment they saw the signal flares rising into the sky.

In an instant, the sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and dense cavalry leaped out from both sides. The horses' hooves crushed the ice, and the big swords chopped at the heads of the devils.

The cavalry encircled the Japanese pirates from both sides and caught them off guard.

Wu Gensheng, Zhang Huaiyi and others were also among them. These strange people were like a nail, driven into the midst of the Japanese pirates.

At the same time, the strange people among the Japanese pirates were also taking action, reaping the lives of the soldiers.

However, the aliens in Shenzhou also set their sights on them.

Especially the Quan Xing monsters, they bit them like crazy. After all, killing ordinary Japanese pirates is not as satisfying as killing Japanese pirates and aliens? !
For a time, the severity of the war escalated greatly, with shouts of killing rising one after another.

Wu Gensheng was riding on a horse, and he didn't even hold his sword, but held two box guns in his hands. His powerful strength and control allowed him to shoot with almost no recoil, and every shot accurately shot a Japanese pirate's head.

His killing spree naturally attracted the attention of the Japanese pirates. A powerful warrior split a Quanxing alien in half with one sword, and then slashed towards Wu Gensheng.

This Japanese pirate warrior is wrapped in black energy, which has a protective effect. It cannot be broken by a knife or penetrated by bullets.

He rushed over like a human tank, veins bulging in his arms and his eyes wide open like a ghost.

"Ghost Slash, prepare to die!"

Wu Gensheng's eyes became fierce, and he opened his mouth and spit out a stream of blue Qi, which spread out and enveloped the Japanese pirate warrior.

The black Qi surrounding the Japanese pirates collapsed at the first touch of the blue Qi.

"Bang bang bang!"

A few gunshots were heard, and in an instant, seven or eight bloody holes appeared on the Japanese pirate's body.

The Japanese pirate warrior looked incredulous, his expression frozen at that moment, and then he fell to the ground with a bang, and he died without being able to swing the powerful sword.

Afterwards, Wu Gensheng used blue light to clear a path, turning all the strange people along the way into ordinary people, and then shot and killed them.

Zhang Huaiyi also rushed into the crowd. Because Zhang Zhiwei had created too much hatred among the Japanese pirates, in order to avoid being targeted by them, he did not use thunder magic. Even if he used the Golden Light Curse, it did not cover his whole body in a large area.

It was just compressed into a thin layer and hidden in a wide robe. With a hood on his head and a short stature, he was like a mouse running around, inconspicuous on the battlefield.

However, his lethality was not low at all. He used the Tiantong sword finger to shoot and explode the Japanese pirates' heads one after another.

In this battle, the biggest difference between Zhang Huaiyi and other aliens is that other aliens are looking for Japanese pirates who are also aliens to kill, while Zhang Huaiyi only picks on the weak and kills ordinary Japanese pirates without any psychological burden.

In fact, he had no plan to come here, but who asked Wu Gensheng to invite him for the benefit?
Wu Gensheng said that this time they came to fight against the Japanese pirates, and he would accompany him to practice and help him with his cultivation.

As soon as he heard that there would be progress, Zhang Huaiyi came.

Zhang Huaiyi was a competitive person. His senior brother had killed many Japanese pirates, so he also wanted to compete with him. Even if he couldn't beat him in quality, it would still be good to beat him in quantity.

For a time, Zhang Huaiyi became the man who killed the most Japanese pirates, but the key point was that he was not noticeable at all.

……

……

The frozen ground was stained with blood and the shouts of killing were deafening. The Japanese pirates could not take the city after a long siege. As the sky grew darker and the weather became colder, they had no choice but to retreat after suffering heavy casualties.

The crowd followed the enemy to the river beach, and after killing more than a hundred Japanese pirates, they returned to the rear position, fearing that they would be ambushed if they continued to pursue.

After the battle, everyone began to clean up the battlefield and collect the bodies.

The river surface, which was as clean as a mirror in the past, was now covered with densely packed corpses and black bloodstains from freezing everywhere.

At first glance, the cruelty of war is like a blunt knife smashing bones, so brutal that people dare not look directly at it.

The next day, the temperature dropped again.

The Japanese pirates who had been defeated here the day before came back again. This time, together with the puppet troops, there were as many as 8,000 people, who attacked the position together.

Even though there was a huge disparity in equipment, the soldiers did not give up resistance. They relied on the trenches to withstand the fierce artillery fire. After the Japanese pirates rushed to the position, they engaged in hand-to-hand combat with them and once again repelled the Japanese pirates' general attack.

The alien team even sneaked into the enemy's rear, killed several Japanese pirate officers and a brigade commander of the puppet army. The Japanese pirates had no choice but to flee again.

A small river bridge actually blocked the army for several days, causing thousands of casualties and the greatest loss since the war began. The Japanese pirate leaders were furious.

The next day, the Japanese pirates dispatched the main force of the Second Division to Jiangqiao, with a total force of 12,000 people, with infantry, artillery and tanks working together to raze the entire Jiangqiao position to the ground. (End of this chapter)
