The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"This... this is not possible, right?"

The extremely nervous Hai Rushong sighed, but still seemed to have confidence in his "loyal subordinates".

Jiang Cheng sneered.

Of course, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he has confidence in his subordinates—

Wei Wenxin is his old subordinate, having followed him since he was at Liulihe Horse Farm. Even he followed him in taking out supplies, which shows that few of his subordinates are honest.

Now, in order to settle the matter, he has urgently executed Wei Wenxin, which is likely to make these old subordinates who are already short of money even more dissatisfied.

It really caused a mutiny. Apart from anything else, his position as the garrison commander of Siping would surely be humiliated.

Seeing that his breathing was getting faster and faster, Jiang Cheng calmly took out his pocket watch and said, "11 o'clock at night... Pingchuan and the 388th Regiment will arrive in Siping at o'clock in the morning at the earliest."

"Also, the first batch of immigrants will arrive at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. If these bastards dare to cause trouble for me at this time, I will..."

But he didn't say the second half of his sentence. He turned back into the bedroom and took out all the Browning bullets.

"Where's Shitou? Hasn't he come back yet?"

Jiang Cheng ignored Hai Rushong and turned around and trotted out to shout to the commander of his guard brigade.

Seeing him running back with sweat all over his forehead, he said, "Master Jiang, I sent the people out - you are right, these bastards are not in the camp!"

Hai Pingchuan gasped suddenly. Jiang Cheng turned around and glanced at him without saying anything.

"The armory, have you seen it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Ming immediately replied, "Master Jiang, I've been to see it... It's a good place with a bright light, and there are people guarding inside and outside!"

Jiang Cheng snorted twice: "It seems that these bastards really want to cause trouble for me."

At this time, Hai Rusong stepped forward and said, "Master Jiang, such a big thing has happened at this time. As the highest commander, I cannot escape the blame!"

"I, I now want to go and explore in my own name..."

Hai Rushong, Hai Rushong, I really can’t understand what you are thinking!
Jiang Cheng was almost laughing because of his anger. Damn it, I told you before not to be too harsh on your subordinates. After all, it is unrealistic to replace all of them at once when hiring people.

He wanted a slow transition, but Hai Rusong, who had a hot temper, actually dealt with the elders at this critical moment.

"You can go and find nothing now!"

Jiang Cheng growled at him, but seeing that his expression was getting uglier, he suppressed his anger a little, "Go and select your personal guards, and quickly bring Huixin's Hedu here first."

After saying this, Jiang Cheng grabbed the cloak and military cap hanging on the side of the door, and led his loyal guards into the twilight.

…………

Siping was dead silent in the early morning.

Just as Jiang Cheng thought, Hai Rushong summoned Wei Wenxin to the military camp, and in front of his loyal subordinates, he not only killed him directly, but also ordered him to return the dirty money he had earned.

You know, these transfers of materials were all ordered by Jilin Prefecture, and Jiang Cheng was also very clear that Wei Wenxin alone would not be able to accomplish it.

The four regiment commanders and the quartermaster under Hai Rushong were almost all involved in the "supply reselling case" to varying degrees.

Wei Wenxin was not the mastermind, nor did he benefit the most... He was shot and his ears were cut off, so who among them is going to be okay?
Hai Rusong still didn't understand what was going on. He stood on the high platform in the training ground and gave his men an impassioned speech, saying a lot of high-sounding things like pledging loyalty to Jilin, etc. But how could the men below the stage listen to him? They all exchanged glances with their own hidden agendas.

So a mutiny that swept across the Siping military happened.

"Damn it, the Hai family was living a luxurious life, and the brothers tried to find some money on their own, but they were caught and shot!"

"That's right, the old man doesn't give the brothers good food and drink, and now he doesn't even let them live!"

"While Jiang's family is here, we should talk to him. Life in Siping is too hard, and we can't even make ends meet!"

After the sentencing meeting was over, all the staff officers gathered together and started cursing. They all expressed their intention to attack in groups, mutiny, detain Jiang Cheng's family, and then negotiate terms, etc.

"You bunch of idiots, do you really think I know nothing?"

Going straight to Hai Rushong's government hall, Jiang Cheng led Li Shitou to quickly set up a temporary command center and took full control of Siping's political center.

"Take over Liu's house to me, I'm looking for Jin Yanxi!"

Jiang Cheng picked up the phone and spoke sternly to the operator.

After Jin Huajiazi defected to Jiang Cheng, he handed over the management of Jilin's largest coal mine to him, and asked him to expand it into the 141st Brigade, taking charge of the important roads in Changchun and Liufangzi County.

After hearing Jin Yanxi's slightly sleepy voice, Jiang Cheng told him the situation with a solemn look on his face. The other party jumped up after hearing it: "Master! Is everything okay here?"

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Little Siping, I can still control it! Okay, listen to me, once the gunfire is heard here... I am worried that the Japanese will take advantage of the opportunity to attack."

"Just take care of the few troops on the South Manchuria Railway. You don't have to worry about the others for now!"

The person on the other end was still a little nervous, so Jiang Cheng cursed and hung up the phone.

Even though Jiang Cheng only sent out one regiment of the escort brigade this time, each of them was carefully selected and fully armed to the teeth.

They have no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation. Besides, as soon as the gunshots are heard here, Hai Pingchuan will march quickly, and Wang Junshan from Zhengjiatun will also arrive quickly.

What he was worried about was that the Japanese would take advantage of the situation and sneak in: Although the railway protection troops in Jilin were basically composed of people from the General Staff Headquarters, there were still small troops under the command of Tanaka Yoshiichi.

The Japanese military had never gained the upper hand over him in successive battles. Now that the war in Siberia was gradually subsiding, it was not impossible for them to turn their attention to the Northeast.

"Master Jiang, the Snow Fox in the city reports... Yi Shuchen, under Commander Hai, led three regiment commanders to hold a secret meeting at his home. Now the troops are gathering around the Siping Railway Station!"

Xu Fushan ran in breathlessly to report that the sleet had not stopped. Although it was early spring, the early morning in the Northeast still made his face blue with cold.

"That's interesting. They're concentrating their forces at the train station. Are they preparing to shut the door and beat the dog?"

Jiang Cheng raised his right hand and gently rubbed his chin with his fingertips, revealing a few hints of a smug smile, "I just can't figure out which one is the dog?"

After saying this, Jiang Cheng pressed down his military cap heavily and growled at his personal soldiers: "Let's go! Let's go and get back at this Staff Officer Yi!"

…………

Just as they were plotting to cut off the power supply and surround Hai Mansion, a shocking news came:

The commander-in-chief actually came to my house!

Everyone was so frightened that their faces suddenly changed, but after all, they were all masters who had their heads hanging on their belts. If anyone dared to start a "mutiny", they would no longer consider themselves as part of the Jilin Army's battle sequence, and of course they would not take Jiang Cheng, the commander, seriously.
