The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

While saying this, Jiang Cheng had already waved his hand to signal Han Ming to call the people from the communications company.

He was immediately ordered to strengthen patrols in the border areas of Jilin and Fengtian provinces, including Siping, Liaoyuan, Zhengjiatun, etc.... and to pay special attention to the Japanese camps.

In addition, the negotiation mission with Wu Taixun was almost over, and Jiang Cheng asked him to lead the civil servants and guards back to Qiqihar quickly... Yan Ziwen and his wife flew to Wu Mansion that night, intending to start a comprehensive layout.

But what no one expected was that the Japanese were exceptionally quiet this time, and didn't seem to have any intention of causing trouble.

"Could it be that the little devils actually gave in this time?"

Jiang Dengxuan was not without surprise - but based on their years of experience dealing with the Japanese, these bastards would certainly not give in easily. Instead, they would probably take the opportunity to come up with a trick.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, the entire Jilin Army and Rehe are ready... If they dare to cause trouble, I will order Ting Shu to cut off the Japanese army's supply at sea and catch them in a trap!"

After all these years of planning, and after the defeat in Siberia, Yamanashi Hanzo had been withdrawing and reducing the army - the Kwantung Army stationed in the Northeast only had about one division;
Large-scale garrisons are basically located in North Korea.

"Based on the deployment of our forces and the comparison of our equipment with theirs, it is unlikely that the Japs will cause trouble at this time."

Although Japan already had a full-fledged aircraft carrier battle group in 1929, Jilin’s navy was not weak either:

Those dreadnoughts and the incorporated Russian fleet could easily draw a tie in the near-shore area with the assistance of their aircraft and coastal artillery.

Once they can hold back the enemy's reinforcements and supplies, it will be much more difficult for them to make a breakthrough.

Jiang Dengxuan nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mr. Jiang, as far as I know, the devils themselves have quite a few differences..."

"According to your instructions, I have secretly met with the consul, Mr. Yasuda Yuichi. According to him, the military and the General Staff have started a new round of disagreements because they did not get back the corresponding benefits from their investment in the commander-in-chief."

Jiang Cheng is actually very clear about this point——

"We need to speed up the migration north. Also, I have to go to the capital."

He knew that the Japanese would try every possible means to create trouble in the Central Plains. Once the civil war was instigated again, Nanjing would "trick" the Northeast Army into entering the country...

Once the main force helps them fight the civil war, who will protect their own territory in the Northeast?

If Fengtian Province is quickly captured, the communication between Jilin and Rehe will be cut off, and the difficulty and sacrifice of this battle will inevitably increase!

Seeing him speak so solemnly, Jiang Dengxuan thought that things in the capital might be more difficult than he had imagined. He kept responding, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a violent cough.

"Alas, you are in such poor health. You need to take your medicine carefully."

Ever since his lungs were damaged by the Japanese's poison gas, he suffered from coughing and asthma every now and then, and no matter how many good medicines he took, they were of little effect.

"If you ask me, you should sort out the things on hand, and when the weather cools down again, go to Southeast Asia to recuperate for a while."

As Jiang Cheng walked out with a few guards, he said to his loyal subordinate who was escorting him out, "Harbin is good in every way, except that the climate is really cold, which is not good for your illness."

Jiang Dengxuan responded with a wry smile and escorted the boss all the way to the special car outside the office hall.

A few hours later, Jiang Cheng's plane arrived at the Beijing airport. Two of the young marshal's subordinates, accompanied by Zhao Xishun, came to greet him. "I said, you have been the governor for so many years, but you are still vigorous and resolute. I picked up your people this morning and settled them down. They landed just after lunch."

Zhao Xishun took his hand and got into the car with him, smiling and joking, "Did you eat on the way? Brother, I'll take you to a nice place for a drink?"

Jiang Cheng responded casually, thinking about the upcoming war in the Central Plains.

This war was still a continuation of the fight for territory and power - but he didn't care who won or lost. The purpose of this trip was only one, to work with Zhang Zuoxian to give the young marshal a shot of defense, so that he wouldn't fall into the trap of his good big brother in Nanjing and lead the Northeast Army into the pass to fight!

"Hey, you're getting old now, always busy with big things, don't you enjoy yourself?"

Zhao Xishun was obviously not satisfied with his answer. "Let me tell you, there are a lot of foreign things...Now the North Sea is full of flower boats, and those girls are said to be carefully selected from the Qinhuai River - they are so charming!"

Qinhuai River?
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Damn, it seems that Nanjing has spent a lot of money to take care of everything.

He did read some documents in later life, which said that in order to establish good relations with the Northeast Army...these officers did not have to pay for going to the second floor to play cards and smoke, as Nanjing would reimburse them all.

"If this kind of thing gets into the army, will they still have any fighting power?"

Facing Zhao Xishun's smiling face, Jiang Cheng's face suddenly darkened, "Brother Xishun, please don't dislike what I say - when Master Shuai was still here, you could..."

Zhao Xishun's expression changed slightly, and he smiled bitterly, "Hey, I was just worried that you were tired, so I just said it casually! If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why bother to scare me with the old master?"

Seeing that he was serious, Jiang Cheng laughed and said, "Look at you, aren't you just talking nonsense? In fact, it's nothing else. You know me well. If Xue'er gets angry, there will be no peace in the mansion..."

"Besides, my father-in-law has also come to Beijing. I smoked and embraced a prostitute in front of him - hey, isn't this just asking for trouble?"

The matter was covered up like this, but Jiang Cheng's mood became worse.

Only two or three months after entering the pass again, they were riddled with holes by the sugar-coated bullets from the south - if they continued like this, not to mention the invasion of the Japanese, their own combat effectiveness would be completely destroyed.

When he arrived at the Marshal's Mansion in the capital, Jiang Cheng saw Zhang Zuoxiang, but did not see the young marshal... After careful questioning, he was told that the warm wind had recently blown open the winter jasmine flowers in the Summer Palace, so he took Miss Zhao Si to visit the courtyard.

"It's really a waste of time. No wonder my sister-in-law is so angry."

Seeing Zhang Zuoxiang's gloomy expression, Jiang Cheng simply said, "Send two people to look for him and tell them that the assistant commander has arrived."

Zhang Zuoxiang stopped Zhao Xishun and said, "Forget it, Feilan, you've been traveling so long, why don't you take a rest first—"

"By the way, I have something else to discuss with you. Come with me into the house first."

As they spoke, the two of them walked into the Chuihua Gate and slowly walked towards the south wing. Zhang Zuoxiang looked around and said, "The people from Nanjing have almost traveled all over Fengtian Province--"

"Only nine years ago did you tell me quietly... Yes, that's the number."

He opened his palm and made the number five. (End of this chapter)
