The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 303 Fortunately
There were not only a large number of men holding farm tools, but also some women helping out by waving washing sticks, large brooms, fire hooks, shovels and so on.

The sound of gunfire was almost inaudible, but the chaotic crowd was shouting and cursing, and in the dim environment it was impossible to tell whether there were any women in the family.

Jiang Cheng was getting a little anxious and was about to fire a warning shot when he suddenly felt a thin figure squeeze through the crowd and grab his arm.

"Feilan!"

Hearing this slightly crying voice, Jiang Cheng turned around and was stunned for a few seconds.

It’s Hai Huixin indeed!

Hai Pingchuan gave his gun to his sister because he was afraid of something happening.

This girl had seen the chaos of war and the frequent ambushes against everyone, so she always carried a gun with her and always had enough ammunition.

"Ye Hai, take the brothers and clean up this place quickly! Go and catch that damn mastermind!"

In the chaos, Jiang Cheng couldn't hear what Hai Huixin was sobbing, so he yelled at the guards and dragged her out of the crowd: "Where's Xiaojuan, where's Chengye?"

Seeing his anxious look, Hai Huixin wiped her face fiercely: "Come with me..."

Only when he arrived at the place did Jiang Cheng breathe a sigh of relief.

Cai Chanjuan held her son Chengye in her arms, while Cui Ni took her son Shengshi and hid in a small alley.

Seeing Jiang Cheng rushing over, the two women burst into tears, and even Shengshi wailed... On the contrary, the youngest Chengye looked calm. He looked around and caught sight of his tall father. He smiled and wanted to hug him.

“Feilan! Woohoo… I’m scared to death!”

Cai Chanjuan ran up crying with her son in her arms. All the trivial matters and conflicts disappeared immediately. Jiang Cheng took Chengye and hugged her again: "Okay, okay, I'm glad you're okay! What happened? Didn't I tell you to go to the basement if you have anything to do?"

After buying the mansion, Jiang Cheng deliberately ordered people to dig a basement.

Reinforced concrete, abundant supplies, electric lights, small generators and so on are all available.

Not to mention a gunfight outside, even if bombs were dropped overhead they wouldn't be able to penetrate their underground bunker.

In addition, there are two rammed tunnels, leading to the nearest Dadongmen and Xiaodongmen respectively.

"I……"

Cai Chanjuan was sobbing and couldn't speak clearly, but Cui Ni, who was trembling all over, described it clearly.

In the evening, the external war in Siping City started, and Du Haisheng and Li Zhenyuan brought the black men in the city to the door.

They said that Jiang Cheng was engaged in a tough battle outside the city and that the Ji army would soon attack the city, so they were told to flee quickly.

Unexpectedly, the three women all disagreed, and even said that they wanted to live and die together - until Li Zhenyuan said "don't hold us back", they followed Du Haisheng and left.

"In other words, the one named Du is taking you away, and Li Zhenyuan must have noticed that we have already rushed into the city, so...he feinted an attack to delay us?"

What a damn grandson! Jiang Cheng was so angry that his face turned pale and he said, "Hey? How did you women find out that something was wrong?"

Du Haisheng had been hiding from him for so long. Moreover, he had helped him in the past and was Jiang Lanxuan’s sworn brother... Even he did not see through him until the last moment. How did these women do it?
"It was Miss Hai. She said that whenever we go out of town, we must prepare some food, clothing, and valuables. Why didn't she let them take any? And...ah!?"

As Cui Ni was speaking, she turned her gaze to Hai Huixin behind Jiang Cheng, when she suddenly let out a scream.

Jiang Cheng looked back in shock, only to find that Hai Huixin had fainted on the ground with a pool of blood beside her.

…………The battle inside and outside the city did not last long. The number of Ji troops who came for the sneak attack was not large, and the traitors in the city were easier to deal with.

After Hai Huixin opened fire, she attracted the people nearby who were already agitated by the fighting.

The previous battle almost reduced half of Siping City to ruins;
Jiang Cheng and the garrison troops he led contributed both money and manpower, and Yang Yucheng, who studied architecture, brought his team to help with planning...

The reconstruction work progressed quickly, and the people displaced after the war were given food by their superiors.

With such a good leader, the people of Siping naturally supported him. So when the men who came over saw that they were women from Jiang Cheng's family, they spontaneously took out their weapons and started fighting with Du Haisheng and others.

Not to mention escaping from Xiaodongmen, the entire street was blocked...even Ye Hai and the others had to prove themselves if they wanted to leave.

"How is it, is my sister okay?"

Seeing two military doctors coming out of the inner room, Hai Pingchuan, with a bloody face, was the first to greet them;
"This... Hehe, no, it's not easy to answer!"

The two exchanged glances and felt a little awkward, but Hai Pingchuan, who was always stubborn, didn't think too much about it. Instead, he asked more eagerly.

After a moment of shock, Jiang Cheng immediately understood. He pushed Hanhan aside and then dragged the military doctor to the corner to ask.

As he guessed, Miss Hai was having her period, and because she was too frightened, ran too fast, and exerted too much force in the fight, she fainted due to exhaustion and bleeding.

"I was so scared, I thought she was injured."

With a long sigh of relief, Jiang Cheng thanked them again and again and let them go back first. Facing his brother who was still anxious and worried, he silently waved his hand and said it was okay, and called the maids to clean her up.

"Go and boil a big pot of brown sugar ginger water for Madam Hai and the others to drink."

Jiang Cheng gave an order, then frowned and walked out of Hai Huixin's room.

"Wait for me!"

The brothers followed closely, but Jiang Cheng remained silent with a cold face. The residence was behind the garden, and the front hall was basically a functional area for meeting guests, working, and entertaining.

Before I even entered the reception room, I heard the sound of whips hitting flesh...

In addition, there are also people's screams.

There were only a dozen benches left in the entire hall, and a nearly naked man was tied tightly to each bench.

Ye Hai was leading the soldiers of the guard platoon to carry out flogging - they used horse whips dipped in concentrated salt water and chili peppers, and it took quite a bit of effort for these strong men to give them a few hits.

As soon as he sat down, the men who were being executed turned their eyes to him with expressions of hatred, pleading, pain and sorrow.

Jiang Cheng almost completely ignored these negative looks and even sneered a few times.

The beating continued, the screaming continued...

But some people couldn't bear it anymore and started to whine and beg for mercy, while others were beaten to the point of being unconscious and talking nonsense.
Some even had shit and piss all over the floor, which mixed with the blood and sweat that had already covered the ground, creating a stinking smell.

"Are there any of you willing to recruit?"

Jiang Cheng suddenly raised his hand, and these well-trained soldiers stopped their actions at the same time.

There were wails in the solemn hall, but the young officer's cold and solemn voice still struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
