The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 122 Dare to seize territory?

Since the late Qing Dynasty, a large number of people from the interior of the country have flocked to the outside of the country to seek a living, forming a large fixed group of people who "go to Guandong".

However, the number of inns along the route was limited, so many "carts" were opened on many major transportation routes to provide food and accommodation, water and fodder for livestock, and other services.

Autumn is the last peak season for merchants’ carts traveling outside the Great Wall, and many people want to make a few more trips for business before the weather gets colder.

With almost no effort, Jiang Cheng found a large cart going to Fengtian, which took the three of them to Dapingzhuang.

Because it is close to the provincial capital Fengtian, and has the advantages of water conservancy, fertile soil, forest land and products, there are quite a lot of wealthy families in the village.

Once this place has money, it will easily be targeted by bandits, so the ancestor of the Cai family, as the patriarch, established a local security team.

By the time of Cai Junheng's generation, the militia was incorporated into Feng Delin, and he himself was Feng's confidant...so the fortress of Dapingzhuang was built to look really realistic.

Unfortunately, people are not good enough. No matter how strong the defense is, it is still a mess.

Didn't the Mongolian bandits take advantage of the lack of defense to attack? The women of the Cai family almost suffered a great loss.

By the time they approached the fortress's high walls, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

I exercised a lot today, and because I was worried about the physical examination, I just drank a bowl of porridge when I came out in the morning. Now my eyes are blue and my chest is sticking to my back.

"Second Young Master! It's the Second Young Master who's back!"

Then a man behind the parapet was heard shouting at the top of his lungs, and then the heavy door was opened, and several soldiers in charge of closing the door ran over to greet them.

Ever since Cai Yuanzong was seriously injured, Deputy Head of the Regiment Bai Lichun ordered the entire Daping Village to be under strict alert and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.

Leading them all the way back to the Cai family's old house, Cai's mother, Wang, was carefully feeding her son medicine. When she saw them come in, she showed a slightly sad look of joy: "You're back?"

The three of them went over to greet each other. Seeing that Cai Yuanzong had regained consciousness, they briefly told him about the exam. Jiang Cheng then added, "That Meng guy was really aggressive and beat Zhang Hanqing unconscious. I was furious."

Cai Yuanming also danced and gestured to tell what happened today. Wang saw that her eldest son's face looked a little better, and said lightly: "You kids can chat, I will go back first."

"Hey, Mom, I'll take you there!"

The second thief is the second thief. He immediately went up to support his mother's arm.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng blinked and turned to step forward and said, "Mrs. Cai, although Xiaojuan and I haven't gotten married yet, we are a family after all."

As he spoke, he took out a small yellow croaker from his pocket and carefully stuffed it into Wang's pocket. "We came directly from Beidaying. We can't go to see our future mother-in-law empty-handed. You can take it and buy some things for the family!"

Wang looked at him and sighed, "You may be young, but you really know the etiquette."

"Since we are a family, we should not talk about different things."

Without further ado, he pushed the gold back and said, "There's nothing good to buy at home... Feilan, I appreciate your kindness. Just take the money back and give it to Xiaojuan."

Having said this, he smiled gently at them and left accompanied by his second son.

"My mother has worshipped Buddha for many years and has never liked gold and silver."

Cai Yuanzong, who was lying on the hospital bed, was interrupted by a violent cough before he could finish his words.

"Brother, you..."

It was not until he got close enough that Jiang Cheng smelled a strong smell of blood on him.

Hai Pingchuan quickly brought him a glass of water and angrily said, "I heard everything! It's all because of that damn Brigadier General Rong. How could he beat someone up without any hesitation?"

A higher rank can crush a person to death. The brigade commander beat you, the "acting regiment commander". Isn't it just a matter of a word? As they were talking, several servants brought up food and drinks. Jiang Cheng and Hai Pingchuan were already starving. They grabbed the bread and sausage and ate them, and drank cornmeal porridge in big mouthfuls.

"Okay, stop talking about these unpleasant things——"

Stopping him from continuing, Jiang Cheng looked around and saw that the second brother had also returned. He lowered his voice enough for them to hear clearly, "I want to tell you something..."

"My second brother told me about you being beaten with a military stick that day, and I called someone to discuss the matter that night."

"Rong Baoning died in prison. I think this old bastard won't be able to trouble us for a while."

After Jiang Cheng said this, the three of them were shocked.

"Feilan, you asked the Japanese to kill that Rong guy?"

Cai Yuanming was the most surprised. "You are braver than God!"

"Hey, I've already done it. Is it any use talking about it now?"

Jiang Cheng didn't care at all. "I just need to let that bastard know that if anyone dares to mess with me, I will kill him!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now - all three of you listen carefully:"

"Master Shuai already knows that I killed Rong Baoning. He will definitely put as much pressure on Rong Shihong as possible to go and collect his son's body. Let us be prepared..."

Cai Yuanzong nodded silently, and Hai Pingchuan on the side said with great trust: "Fei Lan, you don't need to say so much, just give the order directly!"

"I plan to raid the troops brought by Rong Shihong tonight!"

Jiang Cheng's eyes darkened, "The whole regiment will go out in plain clothes, disguised as bandits active nearby, and catch him off guard!"

The Cai brothers exchanged glances and took a deep breath almost at the same time: "Great!"

Upon learning that his son had suffered a loss in Jinzhou, Rong Shihong immediately took his men and horses and headed straight to Fengtian by military train.

I'm afraid he has been eyeing the territory of Dapingzhuang and the large amount of equipment hidden here.

Although he was angry about his son's matter, what he had been thinking about for a long time was to take advantage of Cai Junheng's death to kick down the widow's door and beat up the vulnerable descendants!
However, although this troop mobilization was carried out under the banner of Feng Delin, it must have been a taboo for the commander-in-chief Zhang Dashuai to mobilize troops without authorization.

and so……

He left me alone today, and said he "entrusted me with an important task", but wasn't it just to let the 2nd Regiment have a try?

Even without Marshal Zhang's instruction, Jiang Cheng had already made up his mind when he learned that Rong was rushing here to seize territory and equipment.

"Feilan, you..."

Looking back at the anxious Cai Yuanzong, Jiang Cheng smiled confidently: "Why don't you trust me? Okay, big brother, you lie down first, and let the second brother take me to check out the equipment."

Staring at Jiang Cheng in a trance, the weak Cai Yuanzong suddenly laughed out loud: "Fei Lan is really ambitious!"

"Come, help me up... Even if I die in an instant, I have followed you, my brother, and my life is worthwhile!"

…………

When the warehouse door opened, Jiang Cheng stood in front of the densely packed equipment and felt his ears burning and throbbing.
