The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 125 A combination of kindness and power
Seeing this guy who just lowered his eyebrows and looked obedient now showing some obvious dissatisfaction, Jiang Cheng lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "Yes, isn't it okay?"

The deputy head of the group was choked by him and his face turned red. After a long while, he took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Jiang, you may not know that the surname Cai is the largest surname in Daping Village!"

"More than half of the people in the village have the surname Cai. If you insist on beating that Cai Gou'er, then you have to..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Cheng raised his hand to stop him from continuing. Instead, he clasped his hands behind his back and walked out of the military camp coldly.

The open space between the four barracks was now packed with soldiers in three layers.

Even though he was close at this moment, Jiang Cheng could still hear screams coming from inside, and from time to time he could also hear the sound of heavy objects hitting flesh.

With a half-smile in mind, Jiang Cheng suddenly coughed loudly at the crowd.

Everyone was in a state of grief over this cruel "spanking" and was startled by the sound. They all shuddered and turned their eyes to look over:
Seeing that this was the "instigator" of this atrocity, the soldiers' eyes quickly became complicated.

Jiang Cheng said nothing and walked straight along a path made by the crowd.

Although 10 hits with a military stick are enough to cause minor injuries to a person, it doesn't take much effort to actually fight.

The Cai family soldiers had just finished beating and some of the eight joint defense team members could no longer bear it and were beaten unconscious.
And Cai Gou'er was really a hero. He lay on the ground with his eyes rolled up, staring at me with unrestrained hatred.

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyes slightly, and looked at his bloody body with a slightly mocking expression, and a turbid smile formed between his lips: "He is a real man!"

"Go, stop making fun of me!"

Surprisingly, this guy still had the energy to curse, "You can kill me or chop me up as you wish - little one,"

Jiang Cheng did not respond directly, but sneered and looked back at everyone.

This righteous young man made everyone look away.

Jiang Cheng quickly pulled out the Japanese spy's Type 26 pistol from his waist, loaded it neatly, and fired two shots at the sky.

Amid all the shocked looks, Jiang Cheng spoke in a calm and clear voice:
"Everyone thinks that I, Jiang Feilan, just made up an excuse to scare people with the military stick, right?"

This hit the spotlight on everyone, and those who had originally lowered their heads to avoid him couldn't help but look over.

Under his determined gaze and the "suppression" of his fully armed soldiers, the entire military camp was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

"But I, Jiang, tell you the truth: today's patrol is the responsibility of Cai Gou'er and others; but they hid away and gathered together to gamble and drink, and let the Japanese spies in!"

"This little Japanese pistol is the witness!"

"Besides, the well south of our Daping Village was poisoned by that bastard!"

After hearing this, even Cai Xiaofei became a little uneasy.

They all stared at their leader with their mouths half open. Someone suddenly shouted, "Poison? My mother and my wife just used that water to cook a meal today!"

"No way, Mr. Jiang, we can't joke about this..."

In addition to worrying about their own relatives, some people quickly turned their attention to Cai Gou'er and others: "Gou'er, what's wrong with you?"

"That's right, we're on patrol, but we can't gamble or drink at any time!"

"They actually let the Japanese sneak into the city and poisoned it... Brothers, Master Jiang was right to do this. They deserve it if the gun exploded!"

Jiang Cheng smiled calmly and glanced at Cai Gou'er lying on the ground:
Seeing that the unconvinced face quickly became a little flustered, he raised a hand to stop the chattering, and then said loudly: "As the saying goes, forgive others when you can, and I, Jiang Feilan, am not a person who will not forgive even if I am in a position to do so!"

"Considering that they are first-time offenders, they will be given ten blows with a military stick as a minor punishment."

At this point, he raised his voice again, "Everyone, listen to me! From now on, no matter if it's a member of the 2nd Regiment or the Joint Defense Team, if anyone dares to leave their post without permission and messes up something with me, don't blame me for turning against you!" Everyone couldn't help but be infected by his emotions, and they didn't dare to breathe.

"Okay, disband."

After giving the order, Jiang Cheng looked back at the members of the joint defense team who were either unconscious or had their skin torn and looked dejected, and finally stopped his gaze on Cai Gou'er.

"Take him away and find a suitable doctor to treat him."

…………

This combination of kindness and severity not only intimidated all the old soldiers, but also convinced the deputy commander who originally thought that Jiang Cheng only relied on Cai Chanjuan to get to his position.

"Master Jiang, I, your subordinate, just now offended you!"

Taking his gaze away from his obedient expression, Jiang Cheng smiled and said nothing, then walked into a dark room under the guidance of his personal soldiers.

The blood and stench that hit him in the face made him frown. Jiang Cheng got used to the dimness of the room and found that the room without windows on all sides should be an interrogation room.

The walls had been blackened by the fire and were hung with iron chains, steel whips and other "happy" toys.

The Japanese spies tied to the iron stool should have experienced this one by one.

There was no intact piece of flesh on his body. A large amount of blood mixed with urine was flowing everywhere. He had long lost consciousness.

"I said, did you find out the answer by asking?"

Jiang Cheng was happy to beat up the Japanese, but if they couldn't get anything out of the person they had captured alive, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
Cai Yuanming curled his lips in response to the questioning: "This guy is really stubborn - but my brothers are not to be underestimated, they quickly found out the answer."

He told the whole story one by one: It turned out that this Japanese spy was really cooperating with Rong Shihong and came to Dapingzhuang to investigate.

In addition to drawing maps, surveying sentry posts and deploying defenses, they also carried highly toxic poisons and were ordered to poison all the water sources in Daping Village!

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng glanced at Cai Xiaofei, who looked increasingly guilty, and signaled the second brother to continue.

"This bastard has two companions. I just ordered a search at the entire village gate..."

At this point, Cai Yuanming's face turned pale. "Feilan, let me see what we're going to do tonight, right?"

"No, do it!"

Jiang Cheng suddenly clenched his fists. "Even the Japanese have reached out their hands. How can we retreat?"

"The best defense is offense!"

"Everything is carried out according to the original plan...hit them, hit them back hard!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the men in the room stood at attention and saluted, with a loud mingling of responses.

Two hours later, Hai Pingchuan led a fully armed cavalry battalion to Dapingzhuang.

The military discipline was so solemn that it took one's breath away, and the military appearance was so uniform that even Cai Junheng's personal soldiers lagged behind them by a large margin, and formed a sharp contrast with the large number of sparsely-stocked soldiers in the 2nd Regiment.
