The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 166 Feng Delin's Visit

"He can't defeat Master Shuai, but we must not let our guard down. If Brigade Commander Sun is willing to stand up and protect our 2nd Regiment this time - once we get through this difficult time, our Jiang and Cai families will definitely reward you handsomely!"

"We must not let the Japs and Feng Laosan succeed!"

Liu Runchuan said nothing.

"Let me hold this thread."

The words had been made so clear, the regiment commander pushed his chair and stood up, "I will go to Fengtian overnight to see my brigade commander!"

After saying this, he was about to say goodbye, but Cai Yuanzong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly called him.

It is not reasonable to ask someone to do something for you and leave empty-handed. You must reward them handsomely.

After refusing twice, he finally accepted it and left quickly with his subordinates.

"Don't think this money is wasted... As long as we can keep our territory, it's only a matter of time before we make it back."

Turning around and seeing that his brothers were somewhat unhappy, he couldn't help but laugh a few more times, "What's wrong? They all look like they have lost a battle - the Japanese have suffered a great loss at our hands."

Cai Yuanming sighed: "This victory is really frustrating! So many brothers died. We will definitely be attacked by the Japanese in the next half day. I don't know if we can keep our territory!"

“That’s what I’m worried about.”

Cai Yuanzong, who had sent Liu Runchuan away, turned back and said, "It's unclear whether Liu Runchuan can get support from Sun Liechen when he goes to see him..."

"If the devils on the South Manchuria Road keep biting us, the commander will most likely uproot our 2nd Regiment to calm things down when the political situation stabilizes."

Since Cai Junheng was killed, Jiang Cheng had been managing the territory for several months. How could he be willing to give it up now?
He sat upright in the chair with his hands folded between his lips, his eyes cold and resolute.

"Did Ding Chunxi withdraw his troops?"

He suddenly raised his head and looked back at Chief of Staff Yang Ping.

"No, but it doesn't seem like it has any intention of getting closer..."

Jiang Cheng stared: "Are they waiting for their master?"

"Second brother, go to the camp where those Japanese merchants are imprisoned now!"

He stood up and smiled, "Let's make some preparations."

…………

The next morning, the troops led by Ding Chunxi began to approach Dapingzhuang.

The 2nd Regiment, which had just gone through a tough battle, suddenly fell into high alert again.

"Come on, come on. Can you be more powerful than the Japanese?"

At this time, Jiang Cheng had just changed his clothes with the help of Cai Chanjuan, and washed two full buckets of dirty water.

Upon hearing Ye Hai's panicked report, he laughed twice nonchalantly, "Tell the people on the city wall not to fire a single shot. It's most likely that Feng Delin is here with the Japanese."

As soon as he finished speaking, as if to confirm his words, the deputy commander of the 2nd Regiment, Cai Xiaofei, also ran over: "Master Jiang! The commander asked you to go over now..."

"They said Feng Laosan is here with his guards!"

Jiang Cheng glanced at the dumbfounded Ye Hai with a smile, patted his shoulder and said, "Go back and spend time with your wife and children. There's nothing for you to do here."

Turning around, Jiang Cheng gave Cai Chanjuan a kiss on the worried face. He comforted her with a few words, took his gun and went to the front hall in formal attire.

Seeing that the Cai family's ancestral home was heavily guarded, Feng Delin led a dozen fully armed soldiers and rushed in aggressively.

Jiang Cheng was not surprised to see Japanese officers following him, but he was somewhat surprised to see Feng Yong also walking in with him in military uniform. Seeing Jiang Cheng, he felt a little embarrassed in the crowd, especially when he met the fiery gazes of Jiang Cheng and others, he quickly looked away.

After all, he was the current commander of the 2nd Regiment, so Cai Yuanzong led a group of his followers in a line to salute.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see how much sincerity is hidden in this superficial effort.

"Cai Yuanzong, you are so brave!"

The opening scene was an angry rebuke, "How dare you disobey orders from your superiors as you are in the battle sequence of the 28th Division!"

"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. What crime have you committed?!"

The old man was quite good at talking. He first accused them of being unable to maintain local law and order, and then disguised the Japanese merchants in Daping Village as those who were operating reasonably but were burdened by the increasingly chaotic law and order, and even poor fellows who could not make money well...

Anyway, in a nutshell, what crime should you be punished for not managing your territory and not listening to me?

Since Ding Chunxi had not yet withdrawn from Dapingzhuang, they had already predicted that this guy would come, and Jiang Cheng and the others had already discussed a set of excuses.

When he heard him really start to question these things, Cai Yuanzong pretended to be surprised and first explained the Japanese army's massacre of merchant caravans, oppression of militias, etc.,

He also reported to Feng Delin the successive difficult-to-capture Japanese spies. The subtext was very clear: the reason why Dapingzhuang had no peaceful life was because of the trouble caused by the Japanese.

Feng Delin came here today just to grab the territory, and his words were meant for everyone to hear;
He brought all the Japanese with him, obviously relying on the support of the generals of the Kwantung Army, and did not take these wild boys seriously at all.

"Don't try to flatter me! If you just disobey my orders, I will kill you, a mere captain!"

Feng Delin suddenly flew into a rage, and shouted loudly to his guards to kill Cai Yuanzong who had disobeyed orders.

The atmosphere suddenly changed, and the soldiers brought by Feng Delin drew their guns;

Knowing that this old guy had bad intentions, Cai Yuanzong made preparations before letting them in and gave the order with a loud bang!
The soldiers guarding the front hall and the back yard all rushed over, each pointing their guns at them - in just a few minutes, the atmosphere suddenly turned into a confrontation, and it seemed that it could not be suppressed.

Jiang Cheng's eyes twitched, and he suddenly stood beside him and said sternly: "Commander Feng, I still say the same thing..."

"Which side are you from?"

The old man was furious when he saw him for the first time before entering the room: he had long regarded the Jiang family as rebels, and now they were dragging the Cai family, which was originally his confidant, to betray him!

He gnashed his teeth and said, "Jiang Cheng, you bastard, I'll kill you first!"

The people from the Bajiaotai militia were actually bandits, to put it bluntly. This old fellow, who had worked hard but had not yet gotten the position he wanted, was even more cruel to his "rebellious" subordinates.

He pulled out the pistol immediately. Jiang Cheng had no way to dodge at such a close distance.

"Father, no!"

What no one expected was that when Feng Delin pointed the gun at Jiang Cheng, his son Feng Yong suddenly rushed out, grabbed the fearless young man's shoulders and dodged to the side.

boom!
Even if Feng Delin reacted quickly, he could not stop the gunshot.

Including Lao Feng who fired the shot, everyone was shocked and broke out in cold sweat!

"do not move!"

Before a fight broke out in the dead silence, Feng Yong yelled, "Don't move!"

Jiang Cheng watched him suddenly raise his right hand to cover his arm, and then fall to the ground in pain.

"Han Qing!"

He gasped, Jiang Cheng pulled him into his arms and lost his voice.
