The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 48 Another confrontation
This sudden change was so sudden that even Jiang Cheng, who was usually quick-witted, was a little confused.

Are you serious?

Seeing that the women ignored Cai Junheng's embarrassment, they picked up the baskets they had prepared and distributed eggs to the brothers present. Some of them even rushed into the regiment headquarters in a hurry.
He said he would put down the cooked barbecue so that everyone could have a taste.

"Pfft, this kind of thing still exists in this era?"

In the 21st century, it is quite common for people to feed the People's Liberation Army. Jiang Cheng has mixed feelings as he can witness this familiar scene even if he doesn't want to travel through time to the Republic of China.

"Since we are here, we might as well help the soldiers wash clothes and sheets!"

Cai Junheng's daughter looked around at her female companions and asked a tentative question.

"It's done!"

"That's right, Xiaojuan is still very thoughtful. Let's get busy."

"Come on, girls and aunts, don't just stand there and get started."

The coordination of the women present was even stronger than that of the troops of that era, and they immediately threw themselves into the "battle" of labor.

They dispersed and rushed to the barracks in all directions. Some took clothes, some took blankets to wash, and some even yelled at the brothers on duty nearby to take off their coats...

Some even brought brooms and buckets and started cleaning up the garbage and cleaning.

It was not as neat and bright as Jiang Cheng's modern barracks.

These days, it's common for soldiers to be dirty and messy.

In addition, women in the Republic of China rarely traveled far. They usually stayed at home to do housework, take care of their husbands and children, and were naturally good at cleaning.

The scene was even more chaotic than the previous confrontation, and Cai Junheng himself was confused.

The commotion caused by such a chaotic formation naturally alarmed Jiang Lanxuan.

He had been hiding in the office under the pretext of being "busy with official duties", but seeing the situation he could no longer bear it and walked out with a serious demeanor.

"This is……"

Seeing that his father was also a little confused, Jiang Cheng quickly trotted over and explained in a low voice.

After hearing about this somewhat ridiculous incident, Jiang Lanxuan's usually indifferent and calm face also showed a hint of helplessness.

But as a Fengtian officer who was used to big scenes, he quickly regained his composure.

He waved his hand towards the even more embarrassed Cai Junheng and stepped forward: "Haha... I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person, Captain Cai!"

"Jing Yan has been very busy with official duties these days... I want to make proper arrangements for the regiment as soon as possible and live up to the high expectations of the governor and the division commander."

"I have been very disrespectful to Captain Cai because of this. I hope you will forgive me!"

He spoke a series of words step by step. He first apologized for not being able to come to greet them in person, then put the specific reason on Zhang and Feng, and then he said a lot of empty but bluffing words about "high hopes", which made Cai Junheng feel very touched.

"Haha, Camp Jiang... um, Captain Jiang, you're too polite."

It was not easy for him to lose face directly when it came to matters concerning the women in his family, so he could only respond indifferently.

Jiang Lanxuan raised his right hand, greeted him and the two adjutants and led them into the room. The solemnity of the confrontation between the two sides was swept away by the arrival of the women.

But they were still wary of each other, and it looked like a big show was about to begin.

"father!"

Cai Junheng's daughter Chanjuan followed closely and put her arm around his. Her eyes were as gentle as a doe's and she kept looking at Jiang Cheng.

"Dad, who is this young general? Why do I feel like I've never seen him before..."

After entering the room and being served tea and seated, before the conversation started, the little girl Cai Chanjuan started asking questions straight away.

Gao Wensheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and when he looked at Jiang Lanxuan, his expression was already a little mischievous. Jiang Lanxuan was a little stunned, and really didn't know how to respond to this.

Jiang Cheng felt a little numb unconsciously, and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Ms. Cai, this is our leader's son Fei Lan,"

Gao Wensheng quickly glanced at the father and son, and was the first to speak, carefully choosing his words, "It was he who gave the order to hunt down the horse bandits last night."

"Is he Uncle Jiang's son? Why have I never heard you mention him?"

Cai Chanjuan blinked her eyes and tilted her head, "If my brothers were this accomplished, Dad would definitely talk about it all the time!"

Well, you are really good at talking. You offend two people with one sentence.

If it wasn't for this serious scene, Jiang Cheng would have covered his face directly -

Your father was embarrassed to mention your brothers, and my father was also embarrassed to mention "me" before!

"Miss Cai, you are too kind. I only have a few skills and I am just trying to make a living in the army."

Seeing Cai Junheng's obvious embarrassment, Jiang Lanxuan smiled deeply and turned the conversation to the serious matter, "Captain Cai, the division commander has ordered you to inspect the defense of Xinmin."

"Recently, Babuzabu has been wreaking havoc in Feng Province. We have already strengthened our defenses in Xinmin."

"In addition to doubling the number of patrol soldiers, patrols in the city have been strengthened to avoid public security problems."

"I think Captain Cai has spent a night with your subordinates, so he should have some feelings, right?"

This was his usual progressive approach, but this time he only expressed one meaning, which was that we have already done a good job of the work that old man Feng Delin wanted to inspect, so you'd better stop meddling in other people's business and just get out of here and go back to take care of your own territory.

"this."

Cai Junheng gritted his teeth.

If we really look at the so-called patrol work, the entire Xinmin people's requirements for their superiors are already quite complete.

But Lao Feng asked him to come just to see this?
It's obviously not the case... I just want him to find fault with it and then drive the newly promoted 10th Regiment out of Xinmin.

You, Old Zhang, are starting to poach my people and my territory. Okay, I'll uproot them completely!

But it is now difficult to get the job done as his female relatives are involved.

What Cai Junheng was worried about was his own Daping Village.

Why does this damn Mongolian horse bandit look like he was raised by the Jiang family? Why does he have to attack his territory at night at this critical moment?
He almost ruined the reputation of his own female relatives?

If he really succeeds, he will be the laughing stock not only in the 28th Division but also in the entire Army Department.

"Captain Jiang, what you are saying is...hasn't the inspection work started properly yet?"

Cai Junheng thought to himself, how can a woman's affairs be linked to the commander's orders?
Your son saved my wife and daughter, but can this be confused with orders from superiors?

He opened his mouth and continued: "Captain Jiang has always said that he is in charge of the commendations and rewards for the governors in the regiment, but as far as I know, the provincial capital is currently deploying troops."

"Is it clear whether you have received this reward?"

"You are using this excuse to avoid meeting me. Are you trying to evade constitutional scrutiny?"

Jiang Cheng's face darkened: You are such a sinister ungrateful bastard, I saved your wife and daughter, and you turned against me without even realizing it, and you even found such a tricky excuse!

He clenched the armrest of the wooden chair and gritted his teeth. Just as he was about to say something in response, a man's voice came from behind the screen in the main hall:

"Who said the reward hasn't arrived?"

"Then why am I here?"
