The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 37: Japan Stage
As the ground rumbled and shook, they could vaguely hear more sounds coming from afar...

In addition to the cannons, there was also intensive gunfire exploding throughout the sky.

Even the officer Lin Feng who was driving the car became more nervous: "Brother Gao, what on earth is going on that requires you to leave the city and return to Xinmin at this critical moment?"

"You're still running out with such a beautiful lady in this chaotic war. If you run into bandits, you won't be able to escape!"

In fact, Gao Wensheng began to regret it right after hearing the gunshot.

How could these three grown men escape with weapons?

But he is still injured, so it may be difficult for him to protect the young lady.

"What do you see me doing?"

The clever young lady seemed to have foreseen Gao Wensheng's thoughts immediately, and in an instant she pulled out a gun from the back of her breeches, "If you really run into someone like that, don't worry about me!"

Seeing her heroic appearance, Jiang Cheng was a little stunned. He shook his head and smiled, "Yes, yes, what kind of hero is our young lady?"

"What can a few little thieves do to us? We..."

"You bad thief! Don't think I can't hear you, you are making fun of me!"

"Shh! Don't talk!"

Just when Hai Hui was angrily responding to Jiang Cheng, Lin Feng in the driver's seat suddenly stopped them.

When everyone fell silent, they immediately heard some movement in the cornfields on both sides of the country road.

Lin Feng immediately turned off the lights and the engine, and everyone held their breath——

"It's the Japanese."

In such a dead silence, although Jiang Cheng could not hear what they said for the time being, he could tell that they had encountered the Japanese.

After carefully identifying the direction, Gao Wensheng winked at Jiang Cheng to stay in the car.

Then he made a gesture to Hai Pingchuan, and the two got out of the car one after another and searched for the source of the sound.

Hai Huixin looked nervous and couldn't help but tightly grasp the corner of Jiang Cheng's clothes.

Weren’t you acting like a heroic woman just now?

"Put your weapon away, be careful or it might go off."

Jiang Cheng almost finished the words with his teeth apart, and regardless of the young lady's sudden dissatisfaction, he leaned forward slightly and asked softly:

"Commander Lin, are we not far from the South Manchuria section of the railway? Also, how far is the nearest railway protection garrison?"

Not knowing why he asked this question, Lin Feng answered truthfully: "The railway is about three or four miles to the north."

"The nearest road guard is not too close, but it's not too far either. It's probably about ten miles away, right?"

After hearing his description, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but look stern. Gao Wensheng and Hai Pingchuan, who had gone to investigate, also turned back and said, "Feilan, they are really a group of Japanese soldiers!"

Gao Wensheng continued, "I don't know what they are here for, but they are not only fully armed... but also carrying heavy weapons!"

Hai Pingchuan, who is always silent, also added: "It seems that they are not heading towards Fengtian--"

Gao Wensheng glanced at him and continued in a low voice: "They have set up a checkpoint ahead... Feilan, we have to take a detour!"

"No!"

Just as Jiang Cheng expressed his objection, a louder sound of gunfire rang out at the end of the road behind them.

The sound of gunfire was getting closer.

"We are so close to the line of fire, how can we get around it?"

Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment, then smiled wickedly, "Uncle, Commander Lin, both of you take off your clothes quickly!"

"what?"

They were both startled at the same time, which also startled Hai Huixin beside them. Jiang Cheng added calmly: "I asked you two to take off your military uniforms and change them quickly!" "You don't mean to..."

Gao Wensheng understood immediately.

It was easy for him to do so and he prepared a set of casual clothes, but Lin Feng was driving them back to Xinmin. When Gao Wensheng found him, he was at his post and just found a car and drove over. How could he have any spare clothes?
"It doesn't matter... just take off your shirt and put on Pingchuan's!"

Jiang Cheng tilted his head to see that Hai Pingchuan was similar in stature to him, and hurriedly urged him, "If you are asked to get off the bus during the inspection, try to avoid the lights."

"No one is going to stare at your pants in the middle of the night!"

The intention of these Japanese was probably to prevent the nearby Fengtian Army from rushing to the provincial capital for assistance, and there was basically no possibility that they would personally participate in the battle between the two armies.

After figuring out what they were going to do, Jiang Cheng quickly came up with a plan to deal with it.

"Light the fire and turn on the lights!"

He slapped the driver's seat twice, urging him to keep going.

Lin Feng turned his surprised face to Gao Wensheng who was sitting in the passenger seat. The latter looked at Jiang Cheng's determined eyes and immediately nodded in agreement.

"You guys...are actually going to break through the Japanese checkpoint?"

"Do not talk!"

Facing the doubts, Jiang Cheng growled in a serious tone, "Listen, when the Japanese come over to ask questions, I will answer them all—"

"All of you, including the eldest lady, are now mute!"

The three of them looked at each other, but under such circumstances they had no choice but to listen to him.

After driving for a few minutes along the way, we saw a roadblock made of logs. It had sharp edges on it and a machine gun was mounted on it.

There were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers armed with live ammunition surrounding the two roadblocks. They saw the approaching lights and pointed all their guns at them.

"who!"

"Stop and get inspected!"

Although these bastards haven't yet launched a full-scale invasion of China, it doesn't stop these powerful devils from running rampant on Chinese land.

Lin Feng stepped on the brake and pulled over. It was obvious from the rearview mirror that he looked nervous.

"Miss Hai, I'm sorry to inconvenience you for a while!"

"Follow me and be silent."

Jiang Cheng almost said this through his teeth, and then without caring whether she was happy or not, or willing or not, he grabbed her soft and white hand and pulled her out of the car.

She could clearly feel a layer of sweat oozing out of her hand, but the daughter of a general was extraordinary. Facing so many foreign soldiers, she was calm and composed, without showing any guilt at all...

Of course, as agreed, no sound was made.

"I'm Mr. Machino's assistant!"

Jiang Cheng took the opportunity to put Hai Huixin on his arm, and acted like a gentleman in a modern TV drama. "Follow his orders and go to Xinmin on business."

The fluent Japanese not only shocked Hai Huixin, but also frightened the Japanese soldiers.

Unlike after 1931, the Kwantung Army had no ability to identify Japanese nationals...they could only roughly distinguish them by their accents.

"Ah, you're Mr. Machino's assistant?"

The Japanese sergeant who was leading the group immediately ordered his men to put away their weapons and stepped forward with a smile, "I'm really sorry, sir, because my unit has a military mission!"

"Our superiors ordered us to set up a checkpoint here. In principle, no personnel or vehicles are allowed to pass!"

After hearing what he said, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
