The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

It's quite interesting. Things have just started to turn around, but now the chief of staff is putting on airs again?

Jiang Cheng looked him up and down, then smiled faintly: "Feng Yuxiang's two allied forces are fighting fiercely, and they have been in a tug of war--"

He told the other party a general idea of ​​the war situation, but he didn't tell him that Jilin and Kulun were increasing their output to support his father and Ji Jinchun in beating up Feng Yuxiang.

If Rehe cannot hold out, it is likely to counterattack Fengtian. The Marshal will become jealous and negotiate more "cooperation conditions" with the Japanese, which will become the source of trouble for the Northeast in the future.

At this time, Yang Yuting had regained his superiority and clearly intended to seize the command of Jinzhou.

In fact, Jiang Cheng wanted exactly what he wanted. With the joining of the Japanese, Guo Songling would definitely be defeated and shot along with his wife, just like in the original historical plot.

In fact, if you think about it carefully: Guo Songling led the army with the support of Feng Yuxiang, and caught the Zhang family off guard, so they were able to advance all the way to Jinzhou.

But after he entered Jinzhou, he became arrogant and complacent, and even changed his initial political slogan of "supporting Xiao Zhang".

Jiang Cheng knew very well that even if he hadn't intervened, it would be unlikely for Lao Zhang to lose to Guo Guizi.

In addition to the support of the Japanese, the most important point is that although war relies on tactics, the most important condition for victory is money.

In terms of tactics and fighting ability, all the generals under Lao Zhang combined are no match for Guo Guizi;

But if it comes to financial resources, Guo Songling is not good enough... To fight outside the border, everything from ammunition to supplies requires money;

Even if it's cotton-padded clothes to keep warm, the money for so many people is quite considerable.

Before the Fengtian Army and the Jilin Army set out, they were given warm clothing, cotton shoes, cotton hats, etc.
Military rations and salaries were also relatively abundant... On the other hand, although Guo Songling had strict military discipline and ordered that the people should not be disturbed or robbed...

But the weather was so cold that the soldiers began to rob the people of their cold-weather supplies in Jinzhou, even the children's coats were not spared.

So his failure was understandable.

"Chief of Staff Yang, I think with the addition of friendly forces, the rebellion can be resolved quickly—"

After making sure that the chief of staff had made up his mind and wanted him to stop trying to take credit, Jiang Cheng said firmly, "I plan to withdraw troops from Jinzhou and send reinforcements to Rehe."

…………

Yang Yuting didn't expect Jiang Cheng to be so "sensible". Before he could make it clear in a few words, the other party actually chose to withdraw from Jinzhou and go to Rehe.

The smoother it went, the more he felt there was something wrong—

Guo Songling is definitely useless. Could it be that this Jiang guy is planning to extend his influence to Fengtian?

On the night that Jiang Cheng asked Sun Zhengnan to order the entire army to get ready and withdraw from Jinzhou as soon as possible, Yang Yuting tossed and turned on his bed in the Liu mansion, unable to fall asleep as he thought about the intrigues involved.

And he never thought that Jiang Cheng had never cared about the power that he cared so much about - let alone competing with him for power.

The great governor of Jilin had long since stopped focusing on the political situation in Fengtian.

After pacifying Guo Guizi, the Marshal will then settle in the capital and become the de facto supreme ruler.

The Japanese took the opportunity to continue to extend their influence to the Northeast as "friendly forces"... and from now until the Marshal is killed, which is less than two years, this is probably Jiang Cheng's last chance to take Heilongjiang back into his hands.

The explosion in Huanggutun sent the Heilongjiang provincial governor Wu Junsheng to heaven, and his successor was incompetent... causing the entire Heilongjiang province to become a mess.

In the past few years, Jiang Cheng has invested in building factories in Heilongjiang Province, and the number of cooperation is increasing.

He also won over many generals like Ma Zhanshan who would join the future anti-Japanese war in Northeast China.

If Wu Taixun could be supported to be the governor of Heilongjiang Province, then with his current influence on Heilongjiang Province, would he be able to easily control the entire province?

Until then...

Just as Jiang Cheng was leaning over the desk, looking through the combat reports of various new weapons and thinking about the future direction of the situation, there was a light knock on the door.

Guard Xu Fushan's voice came: "Master Jiang, Commander Liu has returned. In addition, someone from the backyard of Liu's mansion came to inform us that Master Sun Liu is in a bad situation!"

During the time they were rushing to Jinzhou to provide assistance, Jiang Cheng and his party stayed at Liu Runchuan's residence... When Jiang Cheng heard the report that he had returned from raiding Guo Songling's rear supplies, his eyes lit up.

But in the next moment he heard Sun Liechen say that something was wrong, so he jumped up from behind the table.

"What's going on? Didn't they say that he was out of danger? Why is he suddenly not feeling well again?"

Jiang Cheng ran out of the room and quickly followed the housekeeper of Liu's house to the backyard. At this time, he saw Liu Runchuan, whose face was chapped from the cold, running towards him. He hurriedly stepped forward and said,
"Old Liu! You're back... What did Uncle Six say?"

Liu Runchuan said that he had just entered the door and said that he had captured Guo Jun’s supply troops along Lianshan and other places and burned them.

"I heard that the Japanese troops have set out from Lushun. Is that what the commander-in-chief wants? My goodness, why do we need the Japanese troops to clean up our own mess?..."

He was also very dissatisfied with the Kwantung Army's dispatch to help quell the rebellion. As the two of them walked into the back garden, they discussed the matter with some complaints.

The backyard was brightly lit at this moment, and even Sun Jiunian, who had been seriously injured in the previous artillery fire, rushed over.

When they saw him leaning against the pillar outside the door wiping his tears, they immediately walked up to him with a sinking heart: "Nine years - what happened?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a corner of the cotton door curtain was gently lifted, and Liu Runchuan's daughter Hongyu poked her head out with a medicine bowl in her hand: "Master Jiang, Master Sun Liu is calling you!"

The three of them looked at each other and hurried into the house... The strong smell of medicine made Jiang Cheng frown. Sun Liechen's adjutant Wei Haifu and two doctors retreated one after another. Facing Jiang Cheng's questioning gaze, they all shook their heads silently.

"Feilan, are you here?"

Hearing the sound from the inner room, Jiang Cheng and the other two walked in side by side. The temperature in the room was very high, probably because they had added multiple braziers and a fire wall.

But Sun Liechen on the sickbed was still pale, and his lifeless eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at Jiang Cheng: "I have been holding back and not wanting to die, just because I want to hand over my little belongings to you!"

Jiang Cheng stepped forward and grasped the pair of cold hands. Sun Jiunian, who was standing beside him, could no longer control himself and fell to his knees at the same time as Liu Runchuan, and began to cry softly.

"Sixth Uncle, please take a rest... Everything is fine, everything is fine!" (End of this chapter)
