The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 16 Two Tigers Fighting in a Cage

Ah, ask again?

He changed the subject so suddenly that Jiang Cheng was stunned.

"Learning that thing..."

At that time, he was in front of his father's many men and the situation was urgent. He was anxious to stop his father and the others from going to Fengtian, so he was busy talking nonsense and actually forgot what he said exactly.

After blinking his eyes, he decided to tell the truth and told his father everything about Fengtian's situation and Tang Erhu's thoughts.

Seeing that his expression had become serious again, Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and added, "Dad, this is actually not hard to figure out. Tang Erhu wants to use our 28th Division to help him seize power, and Xu Shuzheng from BJ is in the middle..."

"The water is getting muddier and muddier. There's no benefit in diving in now."

Jiang Lanxuan lowered his brows and thought, "Well, you don't need to tell me."

"Brother, is Fengtian really in trouble?"

Now even Hai Rushong, who had always been carefree, became nervous. "I heard from my fellow villagers at the Fengtian Police Department that Erhu rushed in with an American machine gun and killed several of their black men."

"It is said that the city is in chaos now, and ordinary people dare not go out in broad daylight."

Jiang Lanxuan shook his head: "It's not that serious..."

At this point, he lifted his eyelids to look at his curious son, and continued: "The city is chaotic, but it is also in good order. Most of the centaurs of our 28th Division have gathered in the city to confront the 27th Division."

"Commander Feng has been holding banquets in the city for several days. All the leaders of the city, big and small, have attended, saying that they are giving face to him as the military supervisor."

"But everyone can see that everyone is still more attracted to him, Old Zhang."

"Our cavalry battalion is not part of Fengtian's regular organization, so we have to rely on ourselves for all supplies."

I heard it.

Jiang Cheng lowered his brows and thought: Judging from the current situation, the Cavalry Battalion and even his cheap father cannot be considered the "Central Army" of the 28th Division.

The superiors obviously did not trust the cavalry battalion. No wonder they did not leave them any weapons and equipment after robbing Duan Zhigui last time.

It turns out that he was in a hurry to stand out and also wanted to take credit.

"Who can waste time with him?"

Before he could say anything, Hai Rusong started to yell, "Damn it! They asked us to go to the city to deal with the business, but they didn't even give us some food?"

A lot of supplies were wasted in vain, but no benefit was gained at all.

The most important thing is that it is not easy for the cavalry battalion to maintain soldiers now.

When he was recuperating at home, Mother Chen often complained to him about the current situation and the difficult family situation; the original owner indulged in all kinds of eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and smoking, and almost spent all the family wealth.

No wonder not only the dad was unhappy with the original owner, but the whole family was annoyed by his dandy character.

Now it seems that it is not just a problem of annoyance, it has already affected my survival.

Jiang Lanxuan shook his head helplessly, and this time he fixed his eyes on his son: "This time when we entered the city, the situation is indeed not good for us——"

"The commander-in-chief has also transferred Wu Dashetou here, obviously intending to fight against our 28th Division."

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and continued, "Dad, do you think my news is accurate? Sun Liechen is already in the city, and now with Wu Dashetou, he will definitely marginalize Tang Erhu!"

"Anyway, I heard from Xuecheng that after Xiao Liuzi marries the girl from the Yu family, he will transfer the 53rd Brigade to our Xinmin..."

"Then we will remove his position as the commander of the 53rd Brigade and replace him with Sun Liechen."

After he finished speaking, both Hai Rushong and Jiang Lanxuan's expressions became extremely ugly.

"Brother, are you planning to put the two tigers in the same cage and let them bite each other?"

Hai Rusong pointed out the point directly, "Division Commander Feng's main force is near Xinmin, and the 53rd Brigade is transferred here, which means..."

How could Jiang Lanxuan not know this? But when two tigers fight, the first one to get hurt might not be one of the tigers, but the other creatures in the cage.

For example, they.

The current controller of Xinmin.

"I think it's right to withdraw people from the provincial capital."

Jiang Lanxuan pondered for a few seconds and said, "What Wensheng said is true. The brothers of the warlord are no match for this little guy Zhang..."

"It's not the right time for us to join Master Shuai now... We need to make some more contributions and present another great gift."

At this point, Jiang Cheng suddenly smiled and said, "Dad, is the Japanese who tried to assassinate someone on Xiaoximen Street a good gift?"

The two were both secretly surprised at the same time, and quickly turned their eyes to look over, and said in unison: "Why, do you have any clues?"

"That's natural, then."

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "I'm sure that as long as we follow this batch of equipment, we can catch all the assassin's accomplices. When that happens, we will send this gift to Fengtian..."

"That's it, isn't it?"

Jiang Lanxuan stared at his son for a full minute as if he didn't recognize him: "Good boy, if I can really get this done for you, I will..."

"Dad, please don't promise me any benefits."

Jiang Cheng raised his right thumb and scratched his nose. "I want this batch of equipment. Also, if this is done, I must go to Fengtian to ask for credit."

By then, I will be able to truly build my own team.

…………

In fact, even if his father didn't mention this matter, Jiang Cheng also planned to follow the clues and catch these Japanese devils and the Zongshe Party.

The Japanese have even infiltrated Xinmin. If we don't take action to get rid of them, who knows how much trouble will arise.

This territory belongs to me, no one can get involved!
"I say, boy, what tricks do you have? Tell your uncle right away!"

At this moment, Jiang Lanxuan had already turned around to see Gao Wensheng, as Xinmin still had a lot of official business to deal with.

The cavalry battalion has completely withdrawn from the vicinity of Fengtian. Of course, the reason for the withdrawal is sufficient: there are Mongolian horse bandits active in Xinmin, and they are withdrawing to suppress the bandits.

Old Feng was not stupid, he saw that this army might have the intention of "remaining neutral";
But now that he is in need of new people, he has no intention of replacing them.

"Uncle Hai, don't you know me? I'm a little... Ouch, it hurts, it hurts! I still need this ear!"

The bearded man didn't give him any face at all, and just grabbed his ear and said, "You kid, are you still pretending to be stupid in front of me? You can fool Wensheng, but you can't fool me!"

"Let me ask you, how did you know about this batch of equipment... Is it related to those assassins?"

"If it really has nothing to do with it, why do you dare to take on so much responsibility?"

Jiang Cheng struggled to break free from his big hand, rubbing it while grinning as he continued, "This matter... Actually, I am just speculating. They assassinated the governor in order to create chaos in Fengtian, and then seize power and support the old Qing officials in the chaos."

"The same is true for this batch of equipment."

As he spoke, Jiang Cheng took out a triangular yellow dragon flag from his pocket and said, "Uncle Hai, do you recognize this?"

"Hey, aren't these flags stuck on these boxes of ammunition?"

Hai Rusong recognized it immediately and said, "Stop talking nonsense and tell me what these are."

"The dragon flag... should have been specially made by the Qing court."

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, "I am sure that the Mongolian bandits who suddenly appeared near us are not real horse bandits, but the Qing Dynasty's old men recruiting soldiers--"
