The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 21 Prepare Again
It turned out that he won the bet.

"Well, then teach me the phrase 'wrong door'. If I run into the Japanese in the future, I will say it too, haha!"

Hai Rushong breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but laugh at his wit.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I have to report to my father immediately. The Japanese will find ways to transport the food out of the city in the next two days!"

Hai Rushong's face was slightly grim, and he nodded immediately and ran towards Xinmin's base with Jiang Cheng holding an umbrella.

"How about it?"

Before they entered the door, Jiang Lanxuan was discussing the current situation in Fengtian with Hai Pingchuan and Gao Wensheng who had just returned to the team.

The struggle between Zhang and Feng has reached a white-hot stage.

The 53rd Brigade was about to be transferred to Xinmin, and they had to demonstrate their merit in front of the governor before Tang Erhu arrived.

The three of them turned their eyes at the same time. Jiang Lanxuan noticed that his son and confidant were soaking wet. He frowned and took out two towels and threw them to them, "Be careful not to catch a cold. Dry your hair quickly."

Gao Wensheng hurriedly poured hot water for them.

Jiang Cheng didn't care about these details. After taking it, he wiped it a few times casually and hurriedly began to tell him everything that happened in the bathhouse.

When talking about the "Black Dragon Society" and the Mongolian rebels preparing for rebellion, everyone's expression changed to one of being on high alert, especially Gao Wensheng, whose wounds had not yet healed, and whose face turned pale.

"Brother, I think this matter must be reported to the commander..."

"This is serious, and we have to pin down all these people!"

Hai Rusong and Gao Wensheng were the first to express their opinions. Jiang Lanxuan looked at his two confidants, but did not rush to express any opinions. Instead, he asked his son:

"Feilan, can you confirm where the food will be sent after it leaves the city?"

Jiang Cheng's eyes darkened and he said seriously, "I'm sure they are heading towards Siping!"

"Is the news confirmed? Brother, we should strengthen our vigilance and never let the food leave the city!"

Hai Rushong immediately became nervous.

"No, that would alert the enemy."

Without waiting for his father to speak, Jiang Cheng glanced at his gaze and quickly shook his head.

"I think that makes sense,"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Lanxuan, who used to be in a bad mood when looking at his son, expressed his support for his son for the first time, narrowing his eyes and smiling, "We have to make them leave the city!"

Except for Jiang Cheng, everyone was stunned, but Gao Wensheng was the first to react: "Brother, do you mean to let the fish take the bait?"

"Yes."

Jiang Lanxuan looked at his son's slightly excited expression and continued, "Since there are rebels gathering near Siping, we can find them by following this batch of supplies!"

"As soon as the grain transport team leaves the city, we will follow them quietly... We will use the old tricks again. When we find a suitable place, we will kill them all at once!"

Hai Rusong was stunned for a moment, but soon he started laughing again: "Yes, in this way, the food that the Japanese have been searching for in the city for half a day will also be ours!"

"That's right—"

Jiang Cheng nodded with a smile, "I understand what my father means... Should we keep in touch with those damn Mongolian bandits in the county?"

"Once we withhold the food, it will most likely scare them. Then, where can we find them?"

"We finally got their news. Once the grain transport team is released, there will definitely be outposts that will go to find the rebels' lair first.

"We can catch them successfully! This strategy is the real way to catch them all in one fell swoop, killing two birds with one stone!"

The father and son, who always quarreled and got beaten up every day, showed their harmony for the first time, which stunned Gao and Hai.

"You went to Fengtian this time. Who did you meet?"

Hai Rusong was the first to slap Jiang Cheng on the forehead. "I heard from Xishun before that you were with the guard group to fight the Japanese... What's going on now?"

Having said this, he couldn't hold back any longer, "Brother, let's talk about that matter with my Xin'er. I like your Feilan more and more!" "Ah?"

We were discussing military and national affairs, but suddenly this unruly uncle jumped into another weird topic;

What do you mean?
Jiang Cheng looked at his father blankly, and the latter said with a sullen face, "What nonsense are you talking about again?"

"Alright, let's go back and get ready... Wensheng!"

Gao Wensheng, who was laughing secretly, straightened his chest and answered loudly. Jiang Lanxuan shouted coldly: "Notify Shi Tou and Yang Hong immediately, and assemble the regular staff secretly--"

"Yang Hong will defend the entire city nearby and be on alert... Shitou will be responsible for secretly following the grain transport team's outpost to stop this group of assembled rebels!"

"Haizi, you and Pingchuan should return to the horse farm immediately and gather all the brothers who can be transferred back and prepare them for the battle."

"Once the people in the city are carrying food out of the city, and you are sure that the enemy has sent out outposts and the direction of movement, you are ready to attack and kill the food transport team at any time."

Having said that, Jiang Lanxuan cast his eyes on the military map on the wall and said, "We must fight quickly and decisively!"

Jiang Cheng also nodded and said, "Yes, that's right! There are Japanese troops stationed on the South Manchuria Railway near Siping."

"I'm afraid that once the gun goes off, they will use the excuse of suppressing bandits to send troops and use force to interfere with our actions."

When the nearby Japanese garrison was mentioned, several people became nervous. After confirming the action plan again, Jiang Lanxuan's men immediately saluted and set off.

At this moment, his father fell silent, stood at the door with his hands folded behind his back, staring at the patio surrounded by barracks on all sides.

The rain was still falling, but a little lighter than before.

"Feilan, my cavalry battalion may be in a lot of trouble."

I know what he is talking about, that Tang Yulin's 53rd Brigade will be transferred here soon.

“The trees want to be still but the wind doesn’t stop.”

Jiang Cheng looked at his back, lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "Dad, you also know... Tang Erhu is not very smart, but he is very brave."

"As long as we fire the first shot well this time and capture all the prisoners we need to bring back to Fengtian to ask for credit from the commander-in-chief,"

"Even if Erhu really wants to be our enemy in the future, as long as he has the support of Master Shuai, we will have someone to back us up on matters on our territory!"

After saying this, Jiang Lanxuan suddenly turned around.

There was a surge of undercurrents in his calm gaze. "I understand everything you said...but,"

"Why do you think so highly of this little guy?"

Jiang Cheng was stunned.

How should I answer?
Do you want me to tell you that the winner of the next power seizure in Fengtian will be this little Zhang, and that in the future he will unify the Northeast and become the most powerful warlord in the Beiyang government?
How can I say this...

Even if I tell it, will my dad believe it?

Just as I was racking my brains to think of how to respond, I suddenly heard footsteps coming quickly from outside the office.

"battalion commander!"

The person who came in was actually the deputy battalion commander Li Shitou. When Jiang Lanxuan saw him, he didn't bother to continue asking about the Marshal, but asked angrily: "What are you doing here?"

"Didn't I tell you to gather your men and prepare to set out?"

Seeing his superior's angry questioning, Li Shitou panted and said, "Sir, it's not that I don't obey orders, it's..."

"It's the Japanese!"

Upon hearing this, the father and son were both shocked: "What did you say?"

"What happened to the little Japanese?"
