The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 272: One wave is over, another wave is rising again

Seeing Yang Yuting's increasingly deep gaze, Marshal Zhang continued calmly:

"As the old saying goes: It is easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it is hard to get a good general... From the time this brat brought people to get equipment for me, I can tell that he is a talented person who can be trusted!"

"No matter how much it costs, you have to keep this brat for me."

Yang Yuting was speechless.

But Xu Shuzheng behind him thought for a while and slowly stood up: "Master Shuai, your words make us, your subordinates, admire you."

"Since you want to protect Jiang Cheng, I'm afraid you'll have to pay a heavy price. It also depends on whether the Japanese are willing or not."

Having said this, the Marshal suddenly burst into laughter.

Just when the two of them became confused, he stopped laughing; instead of rushing to express his opinion, he turned around, took out wine utensils from the cabinet and started drinking.

After a long while, he continued with a forced smile: "Fukushima Masayasu of the Kwantung Military Governor's Office is an old friend of ours."

"Plus my two Japanese consultants... this matter is nothing more than drinking three cups of wine as a punishment!"

The two were slightly stunned.

"Okay, things still need to be done and negotiations still need to be held."

After pouring the last bit of wine from the glass into his mouth, Marshal Zhang took a deep breath and said, "As I said before, even if you have a good mind, you still have to know whose food you are eating."

Yang Yuting stared at the old man's unquestionable face, knowing that there was no turning back.

"I understand... But sir, this time, I have to thank the Japanese as well."

At this point, he revealed a slightly sinister smile, "The 27th Division must rise from the ground."

…………

When I walked out of Marshal Zhang's office, the sky was already bright.

Regarding the four conditions proposed by the Japanese, except that the people could not be handed over, Marshal Zhang had already authorized Yang and Xu to act as the co-organizers.

In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that the Marshal would agree to most of the conditions:
Wu Junsheng had taken control of Liaoyuan and Siping in the name of "suppressing bandits" -

Now the Jilin army was planning to take back the two places while the chaos was going on, but they were badly beaten by Jiang Feilan. Not only did they only take back Liaoyuan, but they also left room for gossip in future battles between the Fengtian and Jilin armies.

"Feng Delin has long been a source of worry for Shuai Ye, and now the obstacles have been cleared with the help of the Japanese."

In fact, even when facing his old classmate Xu Shuzheng, Yang Yuting was quite reserved.

"Will you say this to me in the future as well?"

Xu Shuzheng was quite friendly towards him. After all, he was the one who introduced the Fengtian Army to him. "I wonder who Jiang Feilan is?"

"From what you said, I didn't see what kind of amazing talent he is - our boss is really interesting! He is willing to offend the Japanese for him."

Even without him mentioning it, Yang Yuting was unhappy.

After returning from the border to get the equipment, he had been insisting on keeping Jiang Feilan and his father Jiang Lanxuan under control;
Unexpectedly, the father and son became more and more powerful officials, and their territories became larger and larger.

At the moment, it seems that Jiang Feilan's appointment as the head of Siping is a foregone conclusion. Not only did the commander not hesitate to turn against the Japanese, he even humiliated him, the chief of staff, in front of Xiao Xu, which made him extremely unhappy.

"If you really care about Jiang Feilan, why don't you check it yourself?"

Yang Yuting didn't have the energy to continue discussing this matter. "Okay, let's discuss how to deal with the Japanese..."

"By the way, didn't the capital approve the military expenditure? So, has the money arrived from your side?"

Xu Shuzheng glanced at him, but didn't respond. He turned around and walked out of the corridor quickly. "Hey, I'm talking to you. We've already discussed it. You lobby for military funds outside the Great Wall, and I'll push the Fengtian Army to enter the Great Wall to help your old Duan. This matter..."

Turning back and glaring at him fiercely, Xu Shuzheng almost replied with his back teeth: "I will tell you about this matter in detail later!"

"Now, let's think about how to deal with the Japanese!"

The war in Jilin and Fengtian provinces gradually calmed down;
And the "government war" inside the pass seems to have just begun...

…………

While resting in Siping City, Jiang Cheng ordered several cavalry troops to go out and look for Bao Yulin.

Xuecheng was also lost with him... Zhang Hanqing was now getting extremely anxious.

Even though they usually fight and scold each other, the two brothers have a deep affection for each other as they grew up together.

And Bao Yulin was the younger brother of his brother-in-law, yet they were lost together. The young marshal was so angry that he shouted and cursed in the military camp, and almost had Du Haisheng and others bring him to justice.

"Didn't we agree that if the team gets separated, we should run to Siping?"

Hearing that his curse was meant to include him, Cai Yuanming added thorns in his words, "All the cadets, including the 12 injured ones, have come back one after another, okay?"

He was also one of the trainees who were ambushed by Minamoto no Yoshihei, and now has a bandage on his head.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that Yu Lin and Xue Cheng deserved it?"

He immediately turned his anger on him. Before Zhang Hanqing had time to "expand the war", He Yongqing ran in quickly: "Feilan, the communication is restored!"

"A call from the provincial capital! It's from the head of the hall..."

Jiang Cheng looked at Zhang Hanqing coldly, without saying anything or expressing his opinion, but raised his hands and said, "Let's go, Maochen! I will definitely look for you too."

After saying that, he quickly followed He Yongqing out of the door. Of course, Zhang Hanqing and the others did not delay and quickly followed.

The temporary telephone line was laid in the backyard of the Siping Public Office lobby. Radio communications were restored a little earlier, and several communications soldiers were kneeling on the ground and using radio transmitters in accordance with Du Haisheng's orders, reporting the situation in Siping.

Jiang Cheng picked up the phone and answered. Zhang Zuoxiang on the other end spoke in a gentle tone, but also sounded very tired.

First, he expressed high praise for their heroic fighting and wonderful defensive results, and also said that he would reward them generously after returning to Fengtian.

Facing Zhang Zuoxiang at this time, Jiang Cheng seemed particularly calm.

Although he knew that what he said was what the Marshal meant, Jiang Cheng lost interest in rewarding people for the first time.

"It's all as it should be."

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Even if I am not a student soldier of the first batch of officers of the Military Academy, I am still a member of our Fengtian Army."

Zhang Zuoxiang laughed twice, then said, "Feilan, this time the trouble is quite big."

"Master Shuai and the General Staff asked me to inform you in advance. From now on... I'm afraid there will be no peace in Siping."

"Liaoyuan has been lost, and Zhengjiatun is unlikely to be saved. You must be extremely careful and cautious when you stay in Siping."

He had already thought of these...

But what made Jiang Cheng hesitate was why Zhang Zuoxiang suddenly said this to him?
Moreover, it happened just after the ceasefire.

I do know that this hall master will be the governor and top leader of Jilin Province in the future, but that was after the Zhili-Fengtian War...

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Zuoxiang said the second half of the sentence quietly: "Jiang Feilan, please be honest and tell me the truth."
