The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 294 Japanese Army Conflict
In fact, Zhang Zuoxiang had recently inquired through the General Staff and some officers who had dealt with Jiang Cheng.
This kid used to follow Xiao Liuzi and his friends and did all kinds of bad things, such as smoking opium and visiting brothels. He was a complete playboy.
But later, this kid suddenly changed his nature. He first helped his father stabilize his hometown in Xinmin, then went to the Military Academy to fight the Japanese. With the help of Guo Maochen and others, he made meritorious deeds in Jinzhou and Siping...

Now he is still the target of Yu Shuai's wooing - otherwise Zhang Zuoxiang would not have married his daughter to him.

"Okay, Minister, I think the marriage can be postponed."

At this time, Wu Junsheng interrupted and said, "The situation around Siping is unstable, but we can't delay any longer."

As if he understood his second brother's subtext, Zhang Zuoxiang took over the conversation and said, "Yes, the capital is in turmoil, and the situation in Shanhaiguan is becoming increasingly complicated."

"The Japanese troops in Jilin and the Mongolian bandits are also ready to make a move - the day before yesterday, the Japanese police in Zhengjiatun clashed with the Liufangzi coal mine."

Liufangzi Coal Mine?
Jiang Cheng was shocked: Damn, I knew that once the Japanese gained a foothold in a certain place, they would start to find ways to expand and infiltrate everywhere.

"Damn it, they are in Zhengjiatun, and the Liufangzi coal mine is in Siping's jurisdiction! Their dog claws... are really long enough."

Wu Junsheng looked at the father-in-law and son-in-law with a playful look, and then laughed: "Look, do I still need to remind you of your own territory?"

Knowing that Wu Junsheng was suspected of causing trouble, Jiang Cheng was still a little upset:
Before, Du Haisheng was stationed in Siping and had a clear understanding of the nearby geographical environment and natural resources.

The Liufangzi Coal Mine was developed when Meng Enyuan was appointed as the governor of Jilin.

The mining area not only has a high output, but the coal is also of good quality, and is the most completely burned anthracite.

But even without these prerequisites, why would these bastards occupy my territory?
"Let's go back to Siping first."

Facing Wu Junsheng's provocative smile, Zhang Zuo remained calm, "Well, speaking of which, I heard that my second brother also recognized a relative -"

"She's like a famous beauty in Qiqihar. Hehe, I must ask my second brother for this glass of wedding wine!"

As he spoke, he put his arm around Wu Junsheng's shoulder, smiled and walked ahead with him.

But just when Jiang Cheng was about to quickly catch up with Zhang Hanqing, he unexpectedly found that his future father-in-law actually stretched out his other hand and made a "you go first" gesture to him from behind.

Stunned for a moment, Jiang Cheng quickly found an excuse to say goodbye to Zhang Hanqing, and went downstairs to find Hai Pingchuan and the others.

However, only Sun Zhengnan and Jiang Cheng were left in the group. After asking, they learned that after the welcoming banquet, Hai Pingchuan was worried about Cao Shiying's injury and took her to the foreign hospital in Fengtian for examination.

"Damn it, I've been through thick and thin with him, but he's still worse than a chick I've known for a few years."

Jiang Cheng teased with a hint of sourness, "I haven't even had a sip of water from his brother yet."

Sun Zhengnan laughed: "How can they be the same? Are you still thinking of surpassing someone else's wife?"

I can go to yours.

Jiang Cheng pretended to be angry and pushed him, then said goodbye to the Fifth Madam and went to the foreign hospital.

At this time, Cao Shiying was receiving treatment in the treatment room, and Hai Pingchuan and others were waiting anxiously outside the door.

After making a few sarcastic remarks about this guy, Jiang Cheng consciously changed the subject: "Ms. Cao...are you okay?" In order to leave the heavily surrounded Luanzhou City, they hurriedly took the train and left without paying attention to Cao Shiying's injuries, resulting in serious injuries and some infection.

This fool always had an expression on his face, and he cursed all the damn Anhui clique, Yu Shanchang of Luanzhou for his betrayal, etc.
Anyway, there is no good word waiting for him, and he can't wait to lead his troops back to the pass and kill a few more people to vent his anger for his sweetheart.

Wow, you can fall in love so deeply just by making eye contact with each other?

Seeing the slightly ambiguous expressions of Yang Yucheng, Zhang Tingxue and others, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but curl his lips and smile bitterly. He didn't mock his brothers, but quickly told them about the situation in Siping, and then said:

"Pingchuan, we have to go back to Siping immediately. I'm afraid we can't take Miss Cao with us."

Hai Pingchuan could hear the seriousness of the matter and nodded silently with a sullen face.

Zhang Tingxue volunteered to stay and take care of them, but Jiang Cheng was a little worried and left Yang Yucheng and his guard squad behind.

After kissing Zhang Tingxue goodbye, they took the train back to Siping that night. The journey was uneventful:

After the Marshal was firmly seated in Fengtian, his brothers gradually cleared the obstacles in the entire Fengtian Province, and also suppressed bandits across the board and took over the local armed forces...

The entire Fengtian Province was at peace, marking the first "peace period" of recuperation in the history of Northeast China.

But the situation around Siping is different now.

At the beginning of the year, Wu Junsheng sent troops to Siping and occupied it completely under the pretext of suppressing Babuzab.

Meng Enyuan, who was resentful, saw that Liaoyuan and other places were also swallowed up by the Fengtian Army. He contacted Feng Delin in Zhengjiatun and the Japanese devils in various places, and took advantage of the "Zhengjiatun Incident" to take back Liaoyuan.

The next day after returning home, Jiang Cheng ordered all officers to hold a meeting.

The situations reported by the officers were similar to what Jiang Cheng had predicted:
Not to mention the Japanese devils and nearby bandits, even the nearly 70-year-old General Hairpin would often take the opportunity to provoke.

"The old man will definitely not give up. Besides, Siping is rich in resources and controls the entrance to the South Manchuria Line. Even the Japanese will be salivating over it."

Jiang Cheng, who was sitting at the head of the long table, looked around at his staff and breathed a sigh of relief, "Chief Zhang's order is very clear. We must protect Siping at all costs."

The brothers all knew the meaning of these four words - but now they were facing many difficulties, especially the Japanese in Zhengjiatun, who had even dared to send troops to occupy the Liufangzi Coal Mine.

After occupying the coal mine, how can they not set their sights on the county town?
Liufangzi Town is within the jurisdiction of Siping. The terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, a man named Liu came from the interior to open up wasteland and settle here. The house he built was larger than that of ordinary houses, and later a village was formed, hence the name.

It only takes a few hours to walk from Liufangzi to Siping. If they really occupy the county town as well, not to mention the loss of materials and resources... I'm afraid that no one from Jiang Cheng to the entire garrison will be able to sleep well.

Under Jiang Cheng's slightly dissatisfied inquiring eyes, Du Haisheng spoke a little nervously: "The day after Feilan set out, the Japanese soldiers on the South Manchuria Road were dissatisfied with the miners' noise and had a conflict with them."

"They killed three miners and injured seven... The mine owner Luo Yuzhu was very dissatisfied. When he negotiated with the Japanese troops who had marched to the coal mine, he was driven away by them."
