The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"Not good, Uncle Six!"

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but let out a muffled cry and rushed over to check... Sun Jiunian, with a look of anxiety and pain on his face, picked him up and almost roared like a cow: "Get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way!"

"What are you guys still looking at here? Go and find a military doctor!"

Looking back at Zhang and Yang, whose faces had turned green, Jiang Cheng was so furious that he said to Yang Yuting, "If you are too greedy, I will definitely settle the score with you later."

After saying this, he also took his men to Liu Runchuan's residence.

Since Sun Liechen took office in Chahar, Jinzhou has been handed over to the jurisdiction of his confidant Liu Runchuan.

Later, Sun's health was poor for many years, and he could not endure the drought, coldness and large temperature differences in Chahar, so he has been working in Jinzhou for the past two years.

But he was always conscientious and never slacked off even when he was most ill, so his health was sometimes good and sometimes bad... This time, when he heard that Yang Yuting was actually bringing Zhang Hanqing with him to rush out to cause trouble for Guo Guizi, he was so anxious that he didn't even care about his illness, and quickly ordered his personal soldiers to take people to support them.

"I heard from the people in the Liu Mansion that Master Liu has been suffering from a high fever for some time. He is also weak and should be resting in bed—"

Jiang Cheng brought two famous doctors from Jilin Prefecture who had been kept in the prefecture. After asking about the situation, he reported to his master with a flickering expression, "I'm afraid we have to be prepared!"

prepare for?
Jiang Cheng's mind suddenly exploded.

I remember that when he just came here, Sun Liechen helped him deal with the Japanese. Although there were some conflicts later, he was upright and honest, and he understood the righteousness... He was not only one of the most famous generals in the Fengtian Army, but also a loyal minister who was full of passion and dedicated to the Northeast.

Jiang Cheng knew his fate, and had been trying his best to find a doctor for him, and successfully extended his life, but -

"Has this day come?"

Jiang Cheng felt a palpitation unconsciously and couldn't help but sigh deeply, and asked the military doctor to leave.

Such a big thing has to be reported to the Marshal... In addition, the Fengtian Army’s casualties have not been reported yet, but according to his rough estimate, the number of casualties and missing will not be less than half.

If this value is reported, the Marshal will most likely be furious!
"Call Staff Officer Sun to me—"

After some thought, Jiang Cheng decided to hand over the task of "reporting the death" to his subordinates.

…………

Jinzhou temporarily set aside an area as a temporary field hospital.

Gunshot wounds, frostbite, and injuries caused by flying stones from explosions, etc.

There was a cry.

There was blood everywhere and medical staff were busy.

Jiang Cheng and Feng Yong rushed straight to the field hospital with their guards - Zhang Hanqing was there, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

"Han Qing..."

Hearing his friend calling him, Jiang Cheng quickly grabbed him and shook his head at him silently.

The young marshal seemed not to have heard it at all. He just stood there woodenly in the tent full of wounded soldiers, staring at a doctor who was carefully cutting the shoes and socks of a brother.

The word "cut" is indeed applicable, because the cotton shoes were stuck with snow, and the snow quickly cut through the socks and froze completely together with the skin and flesh.

As the young man let out a miserable scream, four of the five toes on his right foot fell off!

Jiang Cheng's face also sank.

In his previous life, he served in the border defense of Heilongjiang Province and heard a lot from his old squad leaders, especially when they went to fight in Korea later. The soldiers had no experience fighting in extremely cold weather, because the casualties caused by the cold were extremely high.

Right now... this miserable scene will undoubtedly reappear before our eyes. How cold is the snowy day in the Northeast?

Even in modern times, with adequate protection measures, it is still possible to suffer from "hypothermia" and endanger life on windy and snowy days like the past few days;
Not to mention this is the Republic of China——

The scene before him made the young marshal, who had always lived a life of luxury, feel extremely painful.

Feng Yong finally couldn't hold back any longer, and stepped forward to put his hand on his shoulder: "Alright Hanqing! War is like this, there are always sacrifices... You, you see this too much, it's actually no good."

"Let's, let's go!"

Looking back at his brother somewhat absentmindedly, tears seemed to well up in Zhang Hanqing's eyes.

Jiang Cheng could understand his feelings: he was the one who promoted Guo Songling, and he was also the one who protected him all the way until now, until he caused a big disaster.

With that telegram supporting him, Xiao Zhang became the most difficult person in the entire Northeast.

Of course, he is the person who wants to defeat Guo Songling the most now!

But even though Jiang Cheng understood him so well, he really couldn't sympathize with him.

"Let's go, Hanqing."

Jiang Cheng said to him calmly, "By the way, you have seen what the brothers are like."

"Next, we should think of a way to retaliate severely!"

…………

The casualties ratio is impossible to calculate. The number of people who were brought back, plus the defenders of Sun Jiunian Gaoqiao, is only about 6,000 to 7,000.

The wind and snow were so strong that I didn't know how many people were scattered and lost in the chaos. In addition, most of the brothers who were brought back were injured and could not be put into battle again in a short time.

"Just tell me, can we still win this battle?"

Looking at the situation reported by Yang Yuting... most of his father's troops were killed, Zhang Hanqing was at a loss again, "If Jinzhou can't be defended, then, then Fengtian will also be lost!"

Jiang Cheng responded to him casually, and then looked at the data slowly.

He used Zhang Hanqing's words to let Yang Yuting and his men do the statistics:
In addition to the total number of men reported by regiment, there are also wounded, missing, and those able to fight;
In addition, the equipment, ammunition, and supplies brought should be counted as soon as possible -

With these data, Jiang Cheng could roughly compare the strength of the local defenders of Jinzhou and Guo Songling's troops.

"With just these few people and equipment?"

Jiang Cheng's tone was somewhat complaining, "Well, well, well - we lost two-thirds of Guo Songling's troops in one night; needless to say, you also lost all the guns and cannons?"

In fact, Jiang Cheng knew in his heart that if one went out to seek death in such weather, those who could come back were lucky... The guns, ammunition and supplies must have been thrown into the snow when they ran away.

Jiang Cheng threw the pile of papers on the desk in annoyance and paced around the room with his hands clasped behind his back.

Damn, it's unlucky for his subordinates to meet a leader like Yang Yuting who is greedy and reckless.

The local garrison of Jinzhou had nearly 10,000 troops. Jiang Cheng only brought the elite close guard brigade and some heavy armored troops this time.
Together with the troops of Yang Yuting and Sun Jiunian, they barely gathered more than 20,000 people.

Guo Songling on the opposite side led the Third and Fifth Legions. If Li Jinglin in the rear also followed, the number of people would be close to 60,000!

Moreover, both armies were the elite of Fengtian Army, and they were equipped with tanks and artillery.

Most importantly, their commander is Guo Guizi, who is famous for his military ability in the Fengtian Army! (End of this chapter)
