The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 24 Action again
When Machino heard about the money, he immediately became happy and his mouth was no longer so tight.

He began to tell them all the information he knew, and also told them some important information about the current situation in Fengtian.

After getting the big silver dollar, he left happily with his men, led by Xishun.

Of course, Zhao Xishun was not stupid. He understood what was going on once he saw the bribes.

The so-called inspection was fake. The real purpose of coming to Xinmin to find the Jiang family was to ask for money.

"I was shocked by the sudden arrival of these Japanese. It turns out they just wanted money."

When Jiang Cheng entered the room, his father heaved a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect it to be so easy to deal with after talking so much nonsense."

"I've heard of this Machino Takema... He came to Northeast China and was different from all the other Japanese officers. He came here just to grab some money."

Jiang Cheng blinked and smiled, "In fact, this kind of people are the easiest to use. Didn't we use money to buy a lot of useful information?"

"They'll do anything for money. As long as we buy him off, we'll be able to get first-hand information about any news from within Japan or the Marshal's Office in the future."

This guy is famous in history.

He worked as a consultant in Northeast China for nine years.

The Marshal gave him a large sum of money almost every year. Later, when he learned that the military wanted to kill Marshal Zhang, he deliberately instructed his money-maker Zhang to speed up and reach Fengtian during the day to avoid being killed in Huanggutun before he changed trains.

"For people like this, just take advantage of them."

Jiang Lanxuan calmly changed the subject, "After we get rid of this little Japanese, it's getting late, Feilan, and I have to prepare to lead the troops to pursue the rebels."

"No, father."

Jiang Cheng immediately raised an objection, "From what we know so far, there are two rebel groups nearby, and there is also the Black Dragon Society in the city."

"Once you lead your men out to attack the Mongolian bandits gathering in Siping, the rebels operating nearby, or the Black Dragon Society taking advantage of the situation, wouldn't it be better to just coordinate internal and external forces and let Xinmin fall into your trap?"

At this point, Jiang Cheng straightened his back and said, "Dad, please let me go!"

"you!?"

Jiang Lanxuan almost lost his voice.

He looked back at his son, who had a determined face, as if he didn't recognize him. After a long while, he stepped forward and pinched his shoulder, "Feilan, can you ride a horse?"

"Before, Dad taught you horse riding and how to shoot, but you didn't learn anything well... Can you go into battle now?"

"This is no joke, the Mongolian bandits are notoriously brutal!"

For the first time, Jiang Cheng felt that his father had real feelings for him. He straightened his back even more: "Don't worry, Captain! Fei Lan will definitely do you a great deed when he returns!"

"Son, be careful."

As he said this, he patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder vigorously, turned around and walked to his desk, and carefully took out an American-made Browning pistol. "This is a good gun that Commander Feng gave me when I was promoted to the Xinmin garrison this year!"

"I'm giving it to you now!"

"Feilan, take it and give it to our cavalry battalion and the Jiang family, and make more contributions!"

Seeing only determination and trust in his eyes, Jiang Cheng stepped forward to take the pistol and saluted again: "Yes! I promise to complete the mission!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran into the rain.

The rain was getting heavier at this moment, but Jiang Cheng's heart was full of warmth.

It was the first time since he traveled through time that he felt the sincere trust and respect of these fathers and brothers. This was even more comfortable than earning more cash or getting a few more guns.

He trotted all the way to the military camp. At this moment, the cavalry camp had been accurately divided into two groups. One was the garrison led by Yang Hong, who was responsible for the security of the entire Xinmin County tonight.

The more than 100 riders led by Li Shitou were responsible for hunting down the Mongolian bandits.

"Feilan? Why are you here?!"

Gao Wensheng, who had just recovered from his serious injury, was also in the military camp at this moment. Seeing Jiang Cheng running all the way here, he hurriedly asked, "Did your father ask you to come?"

"That's not the case. My dad didn't ask me to come. I volunteered, haha."

Jiang Cheng smiled heartily, glanced at Li Shitou's evil face, and continued to speak carelessly, "Someone has to follow and fight!"

"Master, please don't go out and fool around with me..."

Li Shitou looked over his shoulder and saw that no one else was following him. He smiled bitterly and said, "This is different from the last time we attacked the Japanese transport team. This time we are fighting Mongolian bandits who are armed with real ammunition!"

"Don't underestimate Fei Lan. He's a good shooter and a smart guy."

Gao Wensheng responded with a few words and told him to quickly get the brothers ready. He then pulled Jiang Cheng over and frowned, saying, "Shi Tou is right—"

"But it's different from a sneak attack. The Mongolian bandits are notoriously powerful... You can't ride a horse, so how can you fight? If something goes wrong, how are you going to let me explain to your father?"

"Don't go, just stay in the barracks. I'll take a break and I'll follow and keep an eye on it."

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes at him, turned around and went to look for the horse according to his memory.

I remember that Jiang Lanxuan looked down on the original owner with contempt, but that was limited to his disdain for his dandy habits.

It's good to give him input in all aspects——

The riding boots are impeccable, the war horses are of the best quality, and even the saddles and stirrups are top quality, especially the stirrups, which are made of brand new square-mouthed iron and very stable.

After climbing onto the horse and running around the stable twice, Jiang Cheng smiled with satisfaction.

At this moment Gao Wensheng also followed, and seeing that he was full of interest and courage as a young man, he did not stop him, but stepped forward and began to teach him some simple movements.

It is impossible to master difficult moves like hiding in the stirrups in a short time... But if you are riding a horse or firing a gun immediately, it is not difficult to master as long as you master the essentials and control the center of gravity.

Jiang Cheng was also an extremely smart person and he mastered it in no time.

The rain gradually subsided, but because the weather was gloomy, dusk appeared early.

Because there will be a military operation tonight, the kitchen team prepared a sumptuous dinner——

There was a big pot of stewed potatoes with a lot of chicken and pork, and the aroma could be smelled from far away.

Jiang Cheng, who was already starving, ate two bowls of rice in a row and ate four tortillas, which stunned Gao Wensheng.

The operation was secretive and some customs in the county town remained the same.

No additional patrolling soldiers were assigned, and only small doors were left at the city gates to allow entry and exit.

"is there any news?"

After the second shift of patrol soldiers came back, Gao Wensheng hurriedly asked Yang Hong.

"No, Master Gao... It's fucking weird. It's so quiet today."

Yang Hong wiped the raindrops from his face and glanced at Jiang Cheng. "Even those Japanese restaurants that used to be the busiest are closed."

“Maybe business is bad on rainy days, right?”
