The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Yang Yuting's face turned pale.

He was anxious to report this to his boss in order to suppress the increasingly powerful Jiang family.

Because not only his son Jiang Feilan was "expanding", his father Jiang Lanxuan also had his eyes on Mongolia, and the entire Rehe region was also preparing for war.

He also told this story, and hurriedly added: "Sir! I am not saying this out of jealousy of talents..."

"Think about it carefully. Once Jiang Cheng gets another seaport, a strategic deep port like Vladivostok, and his father breaks through Rehe and reaches Mongolia, the entire Northeast will be under the control of them."

"In addition, with the completion of the deep-water port, they are cooperating with the Americans. This,"

Before he could finish his words, the Marshal interrupted him impatiently: "What are you saying? You are not jealous of the virtuous and capable."

"If they become stronger, won't the Fengtian Army's power increase? Show me the red-headed account book. How much tax do Rehe and Jilin pay to my Governor's Office every year?"

"Besides, Feng Zhi also cooperated with the Americans, and even the start-up capital was provided by the brat - it can be said that the more prosperous the Zhang family is, the more it has a lot to do with Jilin."

"Even if we cooperate with the Americans, it's a good thing! In the future, between Japan and the United States, as long as we don't offend either side and use them, wouldn't it be more beneficial to us?"

Given the current situation, do you still plan to form an alliance between Japan and the United States?

Such a large piece of land in Northeast China has really been eyed by two families. They might as well split it together!
Yang Yuting opened his mouth, intending to tell the old man something important - but he clearly caught the anger that was about to erupt from his boss's increasingly angry and impatient eyes.

Does he trust the Jiang family so much?

No, I'm afraid not.

Was it caused by the Japanese counterattack and the situation in the interior of the country?

At present, he cares more about who can quell the chaos, preferably the kind that can drive away the Japanese as well... It is impossible for him to take action against the Jiang family when chaos is imminent. He can only firmly believe that the father and son can stabilize the situation and expand the territory.

Will we wait until the situation stabilizes in the future and then divide their power?

Yang Yuting's eyes gradually calmed down, and he lowered his head slightly and said respectfully: "Master, you told me at the beginning that I must remember that the head of the kang is warmer..."

"For more than two years, I have kept these words in mind. Oh, I'm sure you can see that all my thoughts are there -"

The Marshal put his hands on his hips and pouted at him irritably: "Fuck you, can you stop talking nonsense? I'm asking you, now that the Japanese garrisons of all sizes in Fengtian are in a state of panic, how are you going to fight?"

"Also, what is your old classmate who rushed to Vladivostok planning to do now? Is he really going to fight?"

Yang Yuting found it difficult to explain.

With two full brigades of troops, plus Zhang Xuecheng's mechanized heavy brigade, it is hard to imagine how severe this battle will be.

But so far, Jiang Dengxuan has always surrounded but not attacked, and it seems that he is just taking the army on a picnic.

The soldiers cleaned their guns, trained in formation, and did running exercises every day, turning the field camp into a training camp.

However, these waves of shouting and killing made the Japanese troops trapped in the Vladivostok area anxious.

They were already seriously short of supplies, not to mention ammunition, but most importantly, food was in short supply - even worse, with the arrival of the hot summer, they even began to run short of fresh water. "This... I think Jiang Cheng is trying to provoke the Japanese, or, maybe, use the method of siege to force the Japanese to retreat from the sea!"

Yang Yuting took a deep breath and said the second half of the sentence, "According to the report from Chao Liu to the General Staff Headquarters, all land routes leading to the Vladivostok area have been blocked."

"The Japanese army is now unable to obtain any food or bullets."

The Marshal smiled happily when he heard this: "Haha, this brat is really evil! Did he ask your old classmate who is good at defensive battles to go to Siberia to help the Japanese guard the gate?"

"It's so hot right now, and it's hard to live next to the sea without everything!"

Yang Yuting was also aware that the Japanese had always been at odds with the army and the sea, and it was quite rare that the Combined Fleet was able to cooperate with the Army Department to capture Vladivostok.

How could they be willing to be a supply ship now, helping those political opponents who were in a strategic position to deliver supplies? It would be good enough if they could run over for a while.

"They only opened a hole at sea, intending to let the Japanese army retreat from the sea—"

Yang Yuting continued, "But the Japanese army not only has a large number of troops stationed in Vladivostok, but also previously sent troops northward to the Sikhote-Alanya Mountains, the Baikal region, and even took a detour to the Caucasus region..."

"If we only talk about the Japanese troops in the port of Vladivostok, with Super Six's current strength, we should be able to win... But once the war starts, the Japanese troops in most parts of the north will inevitably counterattack -"

"And Japan will certainly use this as an excuse to launch an all-out war. By then, the Japanese army on the entire Korean Peninsula will rush to Sinuiju and Ji'an, and Hiroshima, Yokohama and other places will certainly also rush to them."

The Marshal's head hurt from all these place names, and he waved his hands in anger: "Alright, alright, I don't want to hear a word about these place names and situation comparisons you mentioned."

"Just tell me how to deal with it!"

Yang Yuting smiled bitterly and gritted his teeth helplessly: "It's obvious that we have been led by the nose by Jiang Cheng--"

"You can't not prepare for war! To prevent any unexpected events, you should make a decision early. The troops in Beidaying, Jinzhou, Fushun and other places should start preparing."

…………

On the third day after the peace talks ended, a colonel under Tanaka Yoshiichi led his troops to attack the Ji army's camp because they were besieged by Jiang Dengxuan.

The conflict did not last long, but the moment the two sides deployed their troops, they fought to the death.

Dozens of field artillery roared in unison. The Jilin troops at the landing point had already been on guard. They rushed into the fortifications that had been prepared long ago with weapons and resolutely counterattacked the Japanese who were gradually advancing.

These Japanese soldiers in khaki uniforms crouched under the cover of artillery fire, carefully looking for cover while using the terrain to counterattack.

Countless people fell in the hail of bullets. This land, which had been silent for several months due to the Japanese occupation, once again turned into a sea of ​​bloodshed.

Because they had been prepared for the Japanese attack, under Jiang Dengxuan's proper command, they quickly repelled the enemy's attack.

This clearly exploratory attack was certainly not the Japs' first battle, but it was a rather brutal one.

The battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke was littered with corpses, and in almost every crater, there were pieces of flesh and blood that were difficult to contain, and black smoke with a strange smell was constantly wafting. (End of this chapter)
