The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 310 Counter-Ambush

Jiang Cheng held the telegram in his hand and soon smiled.

"Since the Taijuns want to cooperate, shouldn't they at least be a little sincere?"

He immediately lowered his head and began to write with a pencil on the desk.
"Send this telegram back to Machino in my name!"

…………

Almost two days later, Minamoto no Yoshihei personally led all his main forces to attack Liufangzi County.

However, Guo Xipeng received an order from Jiang Cheng in advance to "lure the enemy deep into our territory" and had to withdraw all sentries, patrol teams, etc. leading to Liufangzi County.

The scouts who were deployed in advance quickly discovered this group of Japanese devils.

After detecting the traces of the Japanese, Bayinagula and other Mongolian cavalrymen rushed out of the county town from Liufangzi and chose to take the initiative to attack.

The greatest characteristic of cavalry is its high mobility, especially for these ethnic groups who have regarded nomadic riding and archery as their life for thousands of years:

The cavalrymen not only ran fast, but also shot accurately. They rushed forward and beat the enemies together.

——The most terrible thing was that Minamoto Yoshihei thought that Jiang Cheng’s troops would be afraid of the attack of the Imperial Army and would choose to retreat to Liufangzi County.

So this time they chose heavy weapons and siege weapons for the attack.

Although its firepower is strong, its movement speed is extremely slow.

When encountering highly mobile cavalry, infantry that cannot form a battle formation in time can only be beaten.
And their so-called heavy firepower was just when they had set up their machine guns and loaded their ammunition chains, and were furiously preparing to fight back...this group of cavalrymen simply ran away.

Minamoto no Yoshihei was almost mad with rage, but he had no other options when he saw the hateful cavalrymen running away in the twilight.

When counting the number of people, it was found that more than a dozen people were beaten to death and more than 30 people were injured to varying degrees.

It would be inappropriate to abandon the wounded, but they were attacking a city, and it was even more inappropriate to take the wounded with them.

So Minamoto no Yoshihei secretly cursed the hateful Matsushita Hideki for being immoral and even difficult to cooperate with the unified military operations of the Imperial Army.

On one hand, he left three medical soldiers to take care of them, while on the other hand he continued to lead the main force towards Liufangzi.

"Hehe, I really didn't expect that these little devils are actually quite kind and righteous!"

Cai Yuanming led a hundred or so men, all equipped with cold weapons, and ambushed nearby.

Jiang Cheng had figured out that these idiots would never bring wounded soldiers with them, so he asked the second thief to lead another team of people armed with cold weapons to follow behind the cavalry and pick up heads.

With their marching speed, it would be more than enough to pick up two groups of heads.

However, just as they were approaching Liufangzi County, the Japanese squad led by Minamoto Yoshihei, as if they had made some agreement in advance... suddenly stopped advancing more than ten miles away from Liufangzi County.

He was waiting for Ji Jun.

Without the assistance of Matsushita Hideki, even if he could capture the county, a considerable number of imperial warriors would probably have been killed.

Every Kwantung Army soldier in the Northeast was trained with great difficulty by the Empire and sent across the ocean.

Their destiny is to serve the empire, not to die in battle with these despicable races.

Therefore, he agreed with the Jilin Army to attack Liufangzi County, and then...

"Sir! We received a telegram from the Chinese. They are on their way here... They are expected to arrive in ten minutes!" Hearing the messenger's voice, Minamoto Yoshihei cursed them in dissatisfaction, "They are actually an entire hour late."

If he hadn't been in a hurry to teach that brat named Jiang from Fengtian Army a lesson, Minamoto Yoshihei would have lost his temper long ago.

Chasing the deadly mosquitoes of autumn, Minamoto no Yoshihei finally waited for the Yoshi army in blue clothes.

The leading officer looked embarrassed and could not speak Japanese.

Fortunately, Minamoto Yoshihei had studied Chinese at the Army University. Although his knowledge was far inferior to those "China experts" in the consulate, basic communication was still no problem.

After comparing the documents and codes, and through some communication with gestures, Yuan Yiping realized that the stupid officer was called Zhang Yu, and was a subordinate of Bai Fengshan, the current commander of Liaoyuan.

He was sent here today with nearly a regiment of troops to help him attack the county town.

Although this officer looks stupid, the weapons under his command are really good - it can be seen that the senior military officials spent a lot of money to win over Meng Enyuan.

With these old men and sophisticated weapons, they can easily take over the county.
Maybe we can march south and capture Jiang Cheng alive...

When these Jilin troops were preparing to march towards Liufangzi County, Minamoto Yoshihei, who had long been blinded by hatred, had already begun to fantasize.

"You little Jap, go to hell!"

However, at the moment when the formation was about to be deployed, Zhang Yu, no, Zhang Fushan suddenly yelled at his brothers!
All the guns, ammunition, mortars, etc. that were deployed in formation turned around and aimed at the Japanese positions!
"What!?"

Minamoto Yoshihei, who was feeling proud, was instantly drawn back to his senses by the sound of a mortar being launched into the air.

But before he could yell "Fire back" those deadly mortars landed on the position.

The slap in the face came too quickly... These inferior races that Minamoto no Yoshihei looked down upon were soon treated like a father beating his son.

The main reason was that he was completely blinded by hatred, and Minamoto no Yoshihira never thought that Jiang Cheng could predict his alliance with the Yoshi Army.

I never thought that this little bastard would actually join forces with his political enemy Matsushita Hideki——

Matsushita pretended to be his superior and directly dragged the Ji army, who foolishly came to take advantage of the "Imperial Army", into Jiang Cheng's encirclement.

Then he easily interrogated the signal and stripped off all his clothes and equipment.

Zhang Fushan led his troops towards Minamoto no Yoshihei... So this is the real reason why the "friendly forces were late".

However, these unlucky devils could only return to their shrine to figure out what had happened.

While Minamoto no Yoshihei suffered a major setback, Matsushita Hideki was leading the main force towards Siping Railway Station.

Under Machino's coordination, he and Jiang Cheng agreed on the division - Siping Railway Station belonged to him.

This place is an important strategic location that the General Staff had long planned to take over.

However, although he knew that the top leaders occupied this place for a purpose, he didn't know any inside information until he met with the Chinese officer Jiang Cheng that day.

I feel a little unhappy, but the mission has been accomplished. After fully controlling Siping Railway Station, I can report my achievements to the higher-ups and get promoted!
However, he didn't know that the opponent who killed his teacher Nishio was his current partner.

Besides this, he didn't know another more terrible thing -

After the war began, Zhengjiatun, which had no defenses, had been targeted by his "partners".
