The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 128 There’s a machine gun!

He ran back to Dapingzhuang with all the cavalry unharmed, and it was just after one o'clock.

"You have to give me the machine gun back! You can keep the rifles, bullets, grenades, etc."

Jiang Cheng deliberately showed off his might and shouted at the cavalrymen, "I won't let you hand it over in vain!"

"50 bucks for a light machine gun, 80 bucks for a heavy machine gun!"

"Of course, if you don't like the rifle bullets you brought back, you can sell them to me. The price will depend on the quantity and quality!"

The cavalry was borrowed from Hai Rusong, so they must be returned. Just now Jiang Cheng asked them to clean up the battlefield, to put it bluntly, he asked them to be "porters" -

Get all the guns and ammunition back to his "base".

Of course, the more rifles, bullets, grenades and the like, the better, but this rare thing like a machine gun was the first time he owned one!
The soldiers were also happy to hear this:

Originally today's mission was very simple, just fire a few shots and then charge forward and shoot to clean up the battlefield - there were rewards for handing in the guns, which was much more generous than their Hai family.

"Deputy Captain, please count the things the brothers have handed back."

Turning around, he saw Cai Yuanzong, who looked pale, standing at the door with someone supporting him and looking over here. Jiang Cheng whispered an order and trotted over with Hai Pingchuan.

"Where's the second brother?"

Jiang Cheng asked after looking around and seeing that Cai Yuanming was not there.

"I took people to patrol the village...but so far I have found nothing."

Cai Yuanzong, with a worried look on his face, didn't dare to sleep until he saw Jiang Cheng and Hai Pingchuan return safely, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

After listening to their description of the battle, the acting regiment commander still asked worriedly, "Did you make a few detours on the way back? I heard from the second brother that we caught a Japanese who came to the village to spy today."

Seeing that his face was still pale, Jiang Cheng hurriedly helped him lie down: "Don't worry, we have come back after a long journey! You should rest quickly since your injury is not healed yet. We can talk about it tomorrow."

But when he turned his gaze to Cai Yuanzong lying on the hospital bed, he found that he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Cheng asked Hai Pingchuan to go back and rest first, and then sat down next to him: "Brother, what's the matter?"

Lifting his eyelids and looking at him weakly, Cai Yuanzong sighed again: "Feilan, we are all family now, I will just say whatever I want to say."

"Feilan, I know that my brothers are not as good as you in terms of family background, ability, intelligence, and strategic planning..."

"But weren't you being a little presumptuous when you beat the dog today?"

To be honest, after interrogating the Japanese spies and beating up Rong Shihong, Jiang Cheng almost forgot about the idiot.

"Just for such a trivial matter?"

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly and told the story in general, "Brother, do you think I called the wrong number?"

"That's not the case... Ahem, ahem, ahem,"

He curled up slightly and coughed weakly a few times before Cai Yuanzong told him what had happened.

It turns out that Cai Gou'er is also a member of the Cai family, and is of the same generation as his father.

In other words, his behavior today was more or less offensive to the Cai family.

"I understand. Big brother, you are worried that Cai Gouer will not obey and go to the clan to cause trouble, right?"

Cai Yuanzong sighed silently and said, "That's... true and false."

"You just beat someone up today, and someone came to me to sow discord between us brothers—"

"They said that you, Jiang Feilan, tricked my sister into taking the bait, and then used this incident to try to take over the entire Daping Village and the 2nd Regiment, and then drive us all away."

After hearing this, Jiang Cheng stood up.

Occupy?

Still want to kick people out?

To be honest, he did want to take charge of the 2nd Regiment and develop Dapingzhuang into a "base"... But to say that he wanted to destroy the donkey after crossing the river is complete nonsense.

Jiang Cheng was furious, but he looked back at him on the bed and sneered, "What does big brother mean?"

The ball was kicked back to him.

Jiang Cheng didn't want to make any explanation for this provocation at all - if he was already suspicious and distrustful, would it be of any use even if he explained more?
He always firmly believed that his true people should be like the Hai family, who would stand firmly on his side without him having to say much.

"I'm tired bro."

Without waiting for his answer, Jiang Cheng turned around and left, "The three of us have only asked for two days off, and we have to go back to the Military Academy early tomorrow morning."

However, just as he took a few steps, he heard Cai Yuanzong calling him: "Feilan! You, you..."

He suddenly sat up without knowing when, and shouted at him anxiously: "I, cough cough cough... It's not that I don't believe you!"

Perhaps it was because he had not yet recovered from his serious injuries, or perhaps it was because he was out of control of his emotions, this young man who was only about eighteen or nineteen years old actually vomited a mouthful of blood!

"Big brother?"

Jiang Cheng was so shocked that when he rushed back to him, he had already fallen into his arms and fainted.

Jiang Cheng was even more shocked now, as he discovered that Cai Yuanzong's face was ashen, as if he had a severe fever.

While shouting for someone to come and a doctor, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

wrong!

Even if he was beaten with twenty military sticks, it would only be an external injury. He looked like...

Poisoning?

Just as he thought of this, Jiang Cheng vaguely smelled a strange smell on him.

He immediately carried him back to the bed, and as he unbuttoned his shirt, Jiang Cheng discovered that his wounds were all severely festering.

"Is this, an infection?"

At this moment, the servants rushed over, and seeing that their eldest master was so seriously injured, they ran in panic to find a military doctor.

In this era when antibiotics have not yet been invented, wound infections can only be treated with traditional Chinese medicine, and the rest depends on luck.

Seeing that these two military doctors were so clumsy that they were no better than the barefoot doctors in the countryside, Jiang Cheng held his chin in thought and turned around to call two of Cai's personal soldiers.

He asked the two of them to catch a snake, preferably a highly venomous snake like the five-step snake, to extract its gall, while he rode out of the city with a flashlight.

The Northeast is rich in herbal resources, and he served as a border guard in Heilongjiang. He got to know many medicinal herbs and their properties from the old soldiers and mountain people.

He quickly found two herbs for clearing away heat and detoxifying. The two soldiers had already killed a poisonous snake and soaked it in a strong solution according to his instructions.

When he entered the room, he saw that the military doctors and servants were helpless. Jiang Cheng shouted at them to fetch water and bandages.

The things were all ready, but none of them knew what this young Master Jiang was going to do.

Taking the scissors from a military doctor, Jiang Cheng simply heated them over a candle to sterilize them. He carefully cut off the ulcerated and inflamed flesh, then looked up and said to a military doctor, "Help me clean the wound."

"Yes, Master Jiang!"

The two hurriedly obeyed his orders and helped him deal with it. Jiang Cheng handed the snake gall wine to one of them and said, "There are two kinds of medicines I brought back at the door. Go and crush them into small pieces and add them in!"

"Yes!"

With the assistance of two military doctors, Cai Yuanzong's wound infection was quickly relieved and his fever gradually subsided.

"Master Jiang, you are really good at this!"

Hearing this sincere admiration, Jiang Cheng first waved his hand and smiled, then his face suddenly turned cold: "You two, tell me the truth, what is going on!?"
