The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 137 I Do It Myself

In other words, up to now, Fengtian has only sent them a military train and provided them with some equipment... I'm afraid no one will take care of them after they enter Shanhaiguan?

Jiang Cheng felt more and more like he was on a pirate ship.

"Brother Chao Liu, let's not beat around the bush... I want to know exactly what the General Staff means now."

"Everything else is easy to say. But you can't go on the march without food or water. Can the rear supply keep up?"

"Also, if we are surrounded by the Zhi army, are there other combat troops entering the pass to provide support?"

Ever since his father took over Xinmin and the 53rd Brigade, Jiang Cheng has felt resistance from all sides.

It is really easy to meet the King of Hell but hard to deal with the little devils...

He accepted this mission that was enough to stabilize the power of the Jiang family, but it was more difficult to complete than he imagined.

Not only the opponents, but also the Fengtian Army itself.

They are not strong in all aspects - their attitude clearly shows: Your Jiang family is the most capable, go by yourselves!

He now truly understood how these old feudal warlords were fighting each other.

In this era where even thoughts cannot be unified, how can we talk about the same desires from top to bottom?
Jiang Dengxuan glanced at Jiang Cheng awkwardly: "Your combat report was submitted and directly signed by the Chief of Staff and the commander-in-chief."

“I didn’t get in touch with any of the people below me…but the general staff’s message was very clear: the train could only go as far as Shanhaiguan.”

Yeah, I finally understood.

Didn't Yang Yuting tell him that because the Manchurian Railway currently goes all the way to Shanhaiguan...

So I can only support you all the way to Shanhaiguan;
Once entering the customs, Lao Duan will be in charge until reaching Luanzhou; and after leaving Luanzhou, he will go to Qinhuangdao to carry out the mission, including the return.

You guys figure it out yourselves!

Jiang Cheng was a little angry: "Uncle, listen to what our chief of staff said! Isn't it just that he took some small things to lure us out to do something, and then he doesn't care about anything else?"

"Feilan!"

He spoke so directly that Gao Wensheng looked back at Jiang Dengxuan, who was also embarrassed, and said, "You can't say that..."

"Chief of Staff Gao, if you don't allow us to say this, then what should we say?"

The second thief, Cai Yuanming, had already heard what was going on here, and he immediately curled his lips, "Then we can't say that the people from the General Staff colluded with the handsome man to trick the child..."

"He tricked us into breaking camp with a few pieces of meat, and then he didn't care about anything he could tell us about, leaving his men to chew grass and drink the northwest wind all the way to Qinhuangdao?"

Gao Wensheng covered his face.

This is totally unacceptable.

"Brother Chao Liu."

Jiang Cheng smiled brightly at this moment, "It's not as elegant as the ones you guys who graduated from the military academy."

"We soldiers may speak crudely, but the truth is clear. Our superiors have asked us to fight to the death, but we can't let our brothers go hungry, right?"

Jiang Dengxuan's eyes gradually became clear.

It was clear that he was also worried: this was a matter involving 40 million equipment, but Yang Yuting treated it like a joke...

But how could a military order as heavy as a mountain be treated as a joke?

If this batch of goods is really lost, he, the special envoy, will have to be taken in as well!
"I understand what you mean, Feilan."

Jiang Dengxuan finally made up his mind, "Let me think about it alone... I will contact the General Staff Headquarters when we get to Panjin, the next stop!"

Jiang Cheng's smile became even wider, and he patted the other person's shoulder vigorously: "Then Feilan thanks Brother Chao Liu very much! I am really touched by your deep understanding of justice..."

Jiang Dengxuan did not respond directly to his flattery. He turned around and followed Sun Juncai back to the third independent carriage. That was a soft sleeper carriage for officers to rest. It was not as comfortable and spacious as Jiang Cheng's, but it was a relatively independent space.

"There's a radio in the car. If he wants to ask for instructions from his superiors, why doesn't he do it now?"

Cai Yuanzong curled his lips, "It's just a delaying tactic to deal with us, right?"

Hai Pingchuan, who had been silent the whole time, also nodded: "I think so - including the rest and supplies along the way, it will take at most two days to reach Shanhaiguan!"

"The troops cannot be delayed, and neither can the mission..."

Seeing the three young men's expressions become solemn, Gao Wensheng took a deep breath and said, "Feilan, are you too nervous?"

"This batch of Japanese equipment involves a sum of 40 million. Even if Yang Yuting doesn't care, can you not take it seriously?"

Jiang Cheng's mouth was dry.

That's true, but what exactly are Yang Yuting and the others up to?

Even Jiang Dengxuan didn't know whether he was using this incident as a pretext to test the enemy or simply wanted to weaken or even eliminate the 53rd Brigade.

"I just watched with cold eyes and Jiang Chaoliu did not lie."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Cheng held his chin and said softly, "And I have some understanding of his character——"

His gentleness, elegance, overall perspective, love for his soldiers and other advantages determined that this future Five Tiger Generals was an even more unique existence among the Fengtian clique than Guo Songling.

"Before moving on to the next station, he would definitely consider it and write a report and submit it all."

At this point, Jiang Cheng suddenly smiled and walked towards the spread-out map. "But I don't plan to wait in vain - what if Yang Yuting is deliberately trying to make trouble? I don't plan to back down now,"

"Secondly, we don't intend to let our brothers starve and suffer without even a supply base!"

I lowered my head and looked down along the South Manchuria Line leading to Shanhaiguan - several major stations were clearly marked.

"Wait a moment."

Jiang Cheng's eyes quickly stopped at a name, "This is, Jinzhou?"

His eyes suddenly brightened:

Haha, it’s true what the saying goes, enemies always meet again!

…………

After resting in Panjin for nearly three hours, a large amount of food and supplies were loaded onto the vehicles in accordance with the order of the Fengtian Army General Staff Headquarters.

Gao Wensheng was in charge of the inventory and came back to report immediately: These things may seem like a lot, but in fact, it would only take a few days for the army to consume them.

"If we can get supplies before entering Luanzhou, this batch of food will be enough for us to march to Qinhuangdao without touching it."

"But it definitely won't be enough for the return trip—"

Jiang Cheng nodded silently: The higher-ups are really making things difficult for him. Is there not enough food to fight a few more battles? Soldiers these days can mutiny at any time.

"It's fine if we don't have food on the way back, but we can't move fast with so much ammunition... and with all those things, do you dare to run to his territory again?"

Jiang Cheng, sitting cross-legged at his desk, punched the map. "What if Old Duan and Little Xu regret their decision at the same time and send troops to rob us? Can we be a match for these local tyrants?"

Hearing his words, Gao Wensheng and the other two said in unison: "What should we do now?"

"If the higher-ups don't give us anything, we can just do it ourselves."

Jiang Cheng picked up the red pencil on the table and drew a circle on Jinzhou fiercely, "Uncle, I'm afraid Fei Lan will be a villain again this time."
