The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 325 What a big appetite
Jiang Cheng leaned on the wooden chair with one hand, put his fist on his upper lip and looked back coldly at Dachuan who was becoming more and more anxious.

This Japanese guy is interesting.

Although the battle had not yet begun, Marshal Zhang and Meng Enyuan had clearly already started the battle.

This war for control of Jilin will inevitably result in rivers of blood.

Do the Japanese want to interfere?
No, they want to continue to fish in troubled waters to gain benefits, just like the Zhengjiatun incident, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng calmed down instead.

"Since Mr. Okawa and Mr. Machino have taken the initiative to seek cooperation, we might as well speak frankly."

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyebrows and sneered a few times, then half-raised his chin, "The General Staff Headquarters has obtained the operating rights of most of the South Manchuria Railway from the military..."

"Now, are you targeting Kuanchengzi Station and planning to open up the North Manchuria Railway?"

Machino knew that with Jiang Cheng's intelligence, he would naturally be able to think of these deeper reasons.

He opened his mouth to speak, and Dachuan beside him said coldly: "Mr. Jiang, since you like to speak your mind, then I will make it clear--"

"Kuanchengzi Station is within the reasonable scope of our Great Japanese Empire. The stability of our side and the surrounding environment does require your coordinated support, Mr. Jiang."

"But now there is a riot in Russia, which has violated the rights of the Great Japanese Empire to eastern Siberia... We need to stabilize the situation and, with the support of the United States, send troops to the north to maintain order!"

After his grandson finished speaking, Jiang Cheng's brows suddenly furrowed.

I rely on.

He thought of the Japanese wanting to establish a sphere of influence with the Russians - after all, Kuanchengzi was also the sphere of influence of the China-Eastern Railway.

These greedy little Japanese have long wanted to drive the Russians away completely;
Now that the October Revolution has broken out, a fierce war is about to break out between Jilin and Fengtian provinces... These little Japs came up immediately like flies smelling blood.

Sneer, these damn Japanese guys have such a big appetite.

The more he delved into this history, the more Jiang Cheng felt that the Japanese invasion of Northeast China was not just a full-scale invasion in 1931.

It is an infiltration from all aspects, just like a group of vampire bats that can't be driven away.

"So you have even set your sights on eastern Siberia."

Jiang Cheng pushed the chair and stood up.

He finally understood why the Americans in Beijing were so excited when they heard that he was from Northeast China.

It turned out that she was not only interested in the gold in his hands, but also had a strong possessive desire for the Far East.

Dachuan also laughed: "So, Mr. Jiang, should we now discuss in detail the details of your dispatch of troops to Jilin?"

"Can our cooperation continue?"

…………

The conditions proposed by the devils are very simple:
After the Russo-Japanese War, the Chinese Eastern Railway is currently under the control of the Jilin Army, but the Russians still retain a certain degree of control.

They can use some excuses to make the Middle East Road impassable, and the Jilin army, which is eager to assemble troops at that time, will definitely be furious... As long as a conflict breaks out between the two sides, a fierce war will start first.

By then, the Fengtian Army would enter the battlefield in full force. The Japanese would hide inside and attack the Jilin Army, while the Fengtian Army would surround and attack the reinforcements, without any worries of destroying the entire Chinese Eastern Railway.

During this period, the Russians only had some scattered soldiers, and they would definitely not take action, and might even withdraw from this place because of a fight.

After the battle, the General Staff could take the opportunity to take over Kuanchengzi Station and complete the "unification" of the entire South Manchuria Line. As for the control of the China Eastern Railway, Okawa and Machino said very "generously" that they had no interest in it and could give it to the Fengtian Army for free.

The Japanese have the same habit of paying New Year's greetings as a weasel, how could they be so kind?

Just listen to this.

Once the Eastern China Railway falls into his hands, the devils will definitely try every possible means to instigate the Fengtian Army to move north...

Didn’t Xu Shuzheng play this trick before?

He gave him a batch of equipment worth 4000 million, and without blinking an eye, he wanted his father and Ji Jinchun to go south.

Jiang Cheng agreed on the surface, but he knew exactly what tricks the Japanese were going to play.

"The war is imminent, and the devils' help will surely make things more efficient."

Jiang Cheng shared the results of the discussion with his father-in-law and Wu Datou. "At present, the Japanese troops near Kuanchengzi support Gao Shibin. Whether the war can be fought now depends on how the other group of devils behave."

Having lost control of Siping Railway Station, the Japanese military, which was also in a desperate situation, would certainly cooperate with the trapped Jilin army.

Now, it all depends on how the consulate, which has been transferred to the General Staff, will act.

On the day of the conspiracy, the 135th Regiment of Hai Pingchuan's troops and the 132nd Regiment of Liu Fangzi and Guo Xipeng of the Fengtian Army's forward command post received orders and immediately got ready to set out with the Mongolian cavalry regiment.

Relying on the support of Zhang Zuoxiang's troops in the rear, the three forces began to advance towards Kuanchengzi.

The Liaoyuan garrison was besieged, and on the third day after the war broke out, the city was broken and surrendered - the Jilin Army's headquarters in Jilin Prefecture was greatly shocked.

After capturing the city, Jiang Cheng and Wu Junsheng led their troops to advance on all fronts. Kuanchengzi, the second stop in Jilin Prefecture, was suddenly thrown into chaos.

The troop assembly became increasingly chaotic, especially the Middle East Road, which was loaded with military supplies and heading towards the front.

Jiang Cheng ordered Bayin and Agula to lead the Mongolian cavalry, carrying explosive packs and improvised incendiary bombs, to bypass the numerous checkpoints and penetrate deep into the Chinese Eastern Railway, specifically attacking trains carrying military supplies.

They ran away after the explosion, and then, while the Jilin army was repairing the situation, they pressed forward with their entire formation and threw incendiary bombs at once.

Bayin also thought of an even more vicious move, which was to drive a cow with firecrackers hanging on its tail to charge into the battle. In addition to incendiary bombs, there were also gasoline barrels on the cow, which exploded with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

As the transportation of materials was repeatedly restricted, the impatient Gao Shibin began to requisition horse-drawn carriages and cars...but the Japanese expatriates in the city were unwilling to do so.

The roads were blocked and horse-drawn carriages affected their economic activities and lives, so many Japanese expatriates, after communicating with the consulate, ran to the lobby of Gao Shibin's office to cause trouble and protest.

The consul of the embassy, ​​Masao Okawa, also made a solemn protest, demanding that Gao Junfeng, a subordinate of Gao Shibin and the commander in charge of the eastern section of the Chinese Eastern Railway, not requisition horse-drawn carriages within the Japanese sphere of influence and its dependencies.

Under pressure from the Japanese side, Gao Junfeng had to agree to Japan's request.

However, due to the excessive transportation pressure on the Jilin Army, the temporarily requisitioned horse-drawn carriages and cars were simply not enough, and the lower-level quartermasters actually tacitly allowed the soldiers to plunder the livestock of the lower-level civilians.

Not only was there widespread resentment, but a large number of people who did not want to be conscripted ran into the Japanese-controlled territory with their livestock...using this method to avoid the forced conscription by the Jilin army.

Due to insufficient transport capacity, the battle on the front line became increasingly tense. Gao Shibin was so angry that he smashed the cup and scolded the quartermasters from top to bottom. He demanded that they increase the transport capacity and threaten to kill him if they could not provide supplies on the front line.

Camp banquet: 991.
