The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 25: Chasing the Rebels!

"Isn't this the first time that it has rained heavily in Xinmin?"

Jiang Cheng knew that he wanted to talk about whether his own information was accurate or not, and he was fooling everyone. If the Japanese didn't take action tonight, wouldn't it be a waste of everyone's efforts?

"It's so quiet right now, it's abnormal in itself!"

Gao Wensheng also said, "Let's not talk about anything else... Have you been to the Japanese bathhouse, and have you seen the two geisha houses and restaurants?"

"Why didn't you see it? They're all closed—"

Yang Hong quickly added, "There is only one izakaya still open."

"That means the bathhouse is also closed."

Jiang Cheng muttered to himself, "Haha! Wait, the Japanese will definitely take action tonight... Shitou!"

As he said this, he turned his gaze and called out to Li Shitou, who was standing by the door smoking a cigarette, "Tell the brothers to wake up, slowly leave the city from the south gate, and gather north of the grove outside the city!"

"Ah, right now?"

Li Shitou dropped his cigarette in shock. "There's no news at all, why are you leaving the city?"

Gao Wensheng glared at him fiercely, and the guy was so scared that he quickly stood up and knocked his boots, then turned around and ran towards the barracks.

Jiang Cheng also stood up and said to Gao Wensheng, "Uncle, the affairs of the city are left to you and father!"

"I will definitely bring back good news tonight!"

After saying this, Jiang Cheng took out two pistols, confirmed that they were fully loaded, turned around and trotted out of the barracks.

At this moment, the cavalrymen have already started to set off with their horses.

According to Jiang Cheng's request, each team of ten riders began to move out of the city quickly and cautiously.

The Japanese are closing their gates tonight, and must be preparing for action;

Moreover, given the Japanese's insidious and cunning nature, they must have arranged some people to observe the situation in the city.

They would never set out without confirming the safety of the operation.

Of course, before taking action, Jiang Cheng also considered that with his father's current influence, he could use his capacity as a garrison officer to directly search those stores that might be hiding food.

But if there is any such action in the city, the Japanese will definitely hide the food in a deeper and harder to find place...

By then, it would be very difficult for them to follow the clues to find the rebels nearby.

And most importantly, although Marshal Zhang began to take full control of the entire Fengtian Province, his influence was always limited.

My dad has just established his foothold in Xinmin. Even if he can find out about this batch of grain, the damn authorities will probably say there is nothing wrong with storing some grain, and will instead go to the consulate to sue them for disturbing the public.

How can we do such a losing business?
Therefore, they decided to carry out this secret operation, and the cavalry for the sneak attack must be careful to leave the city and secretly assemble near the grove. Once the Japanese grain transport team in the city does not notice anything unusual, they will set off, and their sneak attack can be successfully completed.

Fortunately, the rain stopped completely not long after they left the city.

As agreed, a yellow lantern was hung at the city gate.

If the Japanese grain transport team leaves the city, they will turn off the light to inform Jiang Cheng and others who are waiting outside the city.

"Master, will you really come?"

After the cavalry team had assembled, Li Shitou still said softly with some doubt, "I'm afraid..."

Before he could finish his words, the light on the city gate suddenly went out!
"coming."

Jiang Cheng suddenly had a confident smile on his face, and looked back at Li Shitou, who was shocked and admired, "No hurry to leave!"

"Shi Tou, you know this place better than I do. Tell two smart people to follow if they find someone running away from the team."

Li Shitou responded immediately: "Yes! Old Weizi, call your Xiaodou to get ready!"

"Master, don't worry. I have discussed everything with Master Hai before we set off—"

"If these Japanese send out an outpost, they will definitely head straight for the rebel camp in Siping. We will mark and point the way along the way!" After listening to Li Shitou's supplement, Jiang Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

His eyesight was quite good, and soon he saw that the city gate in front of him began to allow people to pass.

One, two, three...

Ten... Twenty...

There were a total of twenty-seven fully equipped carriages, which were neatly lined up and marched out of the city.

"Oh my god, there are so many!"

Li Shitou took a deep breath and said, "No wonder a brother told me that the price of food in the city has risen sharply recently."

"It turns out that they were all taken away by the Japanese..."

Jiang Cheng looked around and said in a low voice: "That's all. They are transporting this batch of food to the Mongolian bandits--"

"The rebels are definitely targeting the entire Xinmin, and even Feng Province."

Li Shitou spat: "Fuck, he wants to grab the territory from our cavalry battalion. This is his revenge for stealing my wife!"

"I have to be stingy even for cigarettes these days."

I don't know who answered from behind.

Then, in the darkness, there was a low curse:
"Damn it! The little military pay we received was not even enough for my family to buy a few buckets of food. It turned out that the Japanese were responsible!"

"The disaster has come upon us!"

"Kill! We'll beat them to death!"

"Damned little Japanese!"

In fact, these cavalrymen were very unhappy to be dragged out on a rainy day by the dandy young masters in their minds to perform tasks;
But after hearing the young master's explanation, everyone wanted to take revenge on the Japanese.

"Let's go, stay awake and follow carefully!"

Looking back at the fierce eyes of the soldiers behind him, Jiang Cheng smiled with satisfaction and was the first to climb onto his horse.

After following quietly for more than an hour, I saw three riders suddenly charging on horseback from the Japanese convoy.

"It's the outpost!"

Li Shitou exclaimed, looked at Jiang Cheng with great admiration, then turned around and ordered his men to follow closely.

"Don't rush,"

Jiang Cheng tightly grasped the reins, staring coldly at the Japanese grain transport team that was still on the move, "Put the outpost a little further."

"Otherwise, when we start fighting, the Japanese who escaped earlier won't go straight to the rebel assembly point. How are Uncle Hai and the others going to find them? We..."

But before he could finish his words, he heard a sudden movement in the woods by the roadside.

They immediately shut up and all the cavalrymen turned their eyes away.

It was a short man, jogging out of the dense woods with his pants in his hand, and he had obviously fallen behind because he had to relieve himself;

After they finished their work and ran out of the forest, they were about to set off when they saw so many cavalrymen following them silently. They were so frightened that they started to scream:
"Hey, you guys...what are you doing!?"

The rain had just stopped and there was deathly silence in the dark wilderness. No one except Jiang Cheng could understand the Japanese shouting, but just by looking at his bared teeth, it was clear that it was definitely not a greeting.

boom!
Before Li Shitou could draw his knife and rush forward, someone in the team opened fire.

The unfortunate Japanese soldier had a bloody hole in his chest blown out and fell to the ground.

"not good!"
