The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 327 Surrender
In this era, soldiers from top to bottom do things for money. Even if there is some kind of relationship like fellow townsmen or sworn brotherhood, it cannot resist the temptation of real money.

On the night of the siege of Kuanchengzi, the conflict between the Japanese-controlled territory and the Jilin army stopped.

It was dark on the top of the city, and even the newly built gun towers on the outer city defense were pitch black.

Looking inside with a telescope, Jiang Cheng could not see any living force...

The whistling, biting cold wind was mixed with the occasional barking of wild dogs, as if telling the Fengtian Army besieging the city in this way:
This is not the "dead city" it seems.

"It's really interesting. Aren't you going to fight?"

Jiang Cheng slowly put down the telescope. Cai Yuanming beside him quickly took the telescope from him and also began to observe carefully.

"Why does it feel like there's no one on the turret?"

Cai Yuanming frowned, "Those machine gun positions built with sandbags seem to be empty. Feilan, could Gao Shibin have escaped?"

Jiang Cheng shook his head and chuckled twice: "Haha, where can he run to? Master Wu and his family Taixun are attacking Jilin Prefecture; and we have cut off the railway and highway connecting to Kuanchengzi."

"Could it be possible that he could still lead people south?"

Cai Yuanming shrugged: "Who can say for sure? If things don't work out, we'd better run to the Russians..."

This makes even less sense.

The October Revolution had broken out and the Tsarist rule had been overthrown - many White Russian nobles had to flee to the northeast, which was why Heilongjiang Province was in such a mess now.

"Can he be willing?"

Jiang Cheng smiled lazily, "Don't worry, there are opportunities for you to make achievements."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Ming's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Master Jiang, Master Jiang... Brothers, arrest a few people!"

Jiang Cheng turned his eyes to Cai Yuanming, exchanged glances with him, and then asked, "What do you do?"

Han Ming took a breath and said, "It is said that he used to be a subordinate of our Fengtian Army - Commander Xu!"

Captain Xu?
Jiang Cheng reacted instantly.

"Which Captain Xu? We don't know him... Hey, Fei Lan,"

Before Cai Yuanming finished speaking, Jiang Cheng put his hand on the Browning at his waist, urging Han Ming to lead the way and return quickly.

There were about twenty people coming, probably to prove their Fengtian Army identity, and they were wearing the same military uniforms.

They were just summer clothes, and their faces were frozen like purple radishes.

Seeing Jiang Cheng and the others, the leading company commander stood at attention and saluted: "Commander Jiang!"

After some careful questioning, it was found that the company commander was named Yang Zheng... Just as Jiang Cheng thought, he was a subordinate of Xu Yantang who was originally stationed in Liaoyuan.

Taking advantage of the conflict in Zhengjiatun, Meng Enyuan sent troops to attack Liaoyuan and Siping successively;

Xu Yantang couldn't hold on, and his immediate superior Wu Junsheng was so angry that he threatened to shoot the guy.

After some thinking, this guy took the main force and ran away, simply becoming a bandit near Jilin and Fengtian provinces... Zhengjiatun in Siping and other places were harassed a lot.

Now that Bayin and his men have distributed flyers, Yang Zheng must have been interested in the two big yellow croakers and brought his brothers to join him.

"Haha, since you have turned from evil to good, you will be rewarded handsomely!"

Jiang Cheng smiled magnanimously, walked up to him and patted his shoulder, then said, "Now that the war is imminent, it's the time to make achievements! Let's go back and discuss the reward together." As he spoke, he saw that this kid kept winking at him, as if he had something to discuss with him in private.

He immediately rolled his eyes and waved his hand to Han Ming, saying, "Look at these brothers, they don't even have proper clothes on! Han Ming, take them down to find military supplies and get them some cotton clothes."

Seeing them leave the tent, Jiang Cheng sat down with a cold face, picked up a cup of hot tea and handed it to Yang Zheng: "Captain Yang, just speak frankly."

Yang Zheng was flattered and took it and drank it all in one gulp: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"

However, he stepped forward with a flattering smile and continued, "Master Jiang, I know something... Captain Xu is now in Kuanchengzi City!"

Cai Yuanming was shocked, but Jiang Cheng was a little calmer, his eyes suddenly became more playful: "Oh?"

Yang Zheng knew that he had successfully attracted the interest of his superior, and even his pupils were filled with pride.

After Xu Yantang fled with the main force, he has not made any "achievements" - the people of Jilin Province have always been tough, and Meng Enyuan and Gao Shibin have been in charge of the province for many years, and there is also a big bandit Lu Yonggui in the countryside.

It is naturally difficult for these "outsiders" to survive.

"Brothers, we can't go hungry, so Captain Xu took us to Gao Shibin."

At this point, Yang Zheng actually had an embarrassed expression, as if he had carefully chosen his words before explaining the whole process.

Although he deliberately avoided some details that were not beneficial to him, Jiang Cheng still heard it:
It turned out that this guy was quite powerful under Xu Yantang, but since he followed Gao Shibin, they were sent to patrol outside the city and repair artillery towers. Not only did they do the dirty and tiring work of civilian laborers, but they also did not receive complete military pay and equipment.

Let the brothers risk their lives without giving them equipment -

Yes, the city is in a besieged situation recently, and Gao Shibin has been struggling to transport equipment to the front line. How could he be willing to give it to them?
"Wait a minute, can you?"

Jiang Cheng and Cai Yuanming suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the artillery tower and machine gun position were empty. It turned out that someone had deserted and came to his camp.

A smile soon appeared on his face, but Jiang Cheng asked again: "Do you want to make a contribution?"

Seeing Yang Zheng startled, the young commander put his hands on his waist and continued, "Before the main attack begins, go back to the city."

"Still defending the old place! But you know exactly how our army should attack the city, right?"

"in addition……"

At this point, Jiang Cheng took out a pen from his inner pocket, picked up a piece of paper from the table and quickly wrote a few lines, "When you have a chance to see Captain Xu, give this to him."

Suddenly realizing what he wanted him to do, Yang Zheng immediately put away the note, saluted and responded loudly.

Jiang Cheng smiled and squeezed his shoulders hard: "Go ahead and do a good job! Captain Yang!"

In the blink of an eye, the company commander was promoted to a higher level. Yang Zheng was stunned again, and his heart started pounding. He was so happy that he almost took off on the spot.

"Feilan, this guy is obviously a villain. You have to be careful when using him in the future."

Cai Yuanming stepped forward and reminded, "He sold Xu Yantang and Gao Shibin. Will he sell us out in the future?"

Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled: "It's true that this villain is greasy - but can you cook without oil? If you use it well, won't this dish be delicious?"

"I am not afraid of villains, but I am afraid of rebels like Zhang Ming. Wasn't our Chief of Staff Yang betrayed by the rebels?"

Cai Yuanming looked back at him wordlessly, with a look of respect on his face, then turned his eyes and asked, "Speaking of this, how did you deal with the man surnamed Zhang?"

Jiang Cheng waved his hand and smiled mysteriously: "What can I do? I still have to listen to our handsome master..."
