The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Jiang Cheng's face turned green when he heard this.

He suddenly stood up, pulled him aside, and said in a low voice: "You bastard! Did you sell all the tanks too?"

Seeing him almost wanting to eat someone, Wu Taixun was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

But for the sake of face, he glanced at the generals behind him in panic and lowered his voice to the lowest level: "Brother, keep your voice down! What are you doing... Ok, ok, it hurts, don't pinch me... I'm telling you, what am I saying? No matter how brave I am, would I dare to sell the tanks?"

"Besides, my father has seen the power of your tank-infantry synergy. No matter what, we dare not sell it!"

Jiang Cheng then breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Wu Taixun to arrange Li Jinglin's enlistment examination first, and then asked him to take him to Longjiang to inspect the armored forces.

Although Qiqihar is not far from Longjiang, it is April, the thawing season in Heilongjiang Province. The ice and snow are melting everywhere, and the roads are very difficult to travel.

"I'm wondering, how many years has it been since this road of yours was repaired?"

Jiang Cheng was extremely uncomfortable being jolted in the car and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Even the roads around the capital Qiqihar are so bad, not to mention other places in Heilongjiang Province.

Once the war starts, if the roads are not open, how can the logistics be transported?
The key issue lies here: Jiang Cheng’s positioning of Heilongjiang Province is as a rear base backed by the Russians and northern Mongolia...but the transportation is really hard to describe.

"This road - I haven't thought about how to repair it yet. Feilan, you haven't had a break since you came here. How about we, ahem, forget it."

Seeing his friend's face quickly darken again, Wu Taixun stopped talking.

But he couldn't help but speak, "I said there is still a long time to go! We are both young, and there will be plenty of opportunities to clean up Heilongjiang Province in the future... There is no need to rush in the next few days, right?"

Jiang Cheng glared at him: "Tomorrow after tomorrow, when will it be the time you said?"

Seeing that his friend was clearly a little impatient, he softened his tone a little: "Youquan, I'm not trying to urge you - looking at the situation in Guannei and Feng Province, I know very well that there will be a war in the future that will sweep across the entire Northeast and even China."

"Heilongjiang Province certainly cannot stay out of this... Under such circumstances, you and I must seize the time and improve Heilongjiang Province's comprehensive strength as soon as possible."

Wu Taixun did not respond, but Jiang Cheng knew in his heart that with his vision, even if he had pointed out the way, he would probably not be willing to believe that what he said was true.

There was no more words along the way, and the group did not arrive at the base outside Longjiang County until around five o'clock in the afternoon.

Wu Taixun, who had been starving for a long time, had to give up the idea of ​​going to the county town to eat first when he saw Jiang Cheng's anxious look.

"This is what you call an armored unit?"

Looking at the desolate scene in front of him, Jiang Cheng felt a little dazed.

The place is located at the foot of Dajiazi Mountain. A red brick bungalow can be vaguely seen inside the low wall... If it weren't for the sandbag fortifications on the four corners and the simple guard post, it would look no different from a private house.

"I...I only came here once when the tanks were transported here. It has always been their regiment commander Yang Longxing who has been in charge."

Hearing that he was still pushing the blame this time, Jiang Cheng didn't indulge him anymore: "Are you the commander-in-chief, or is this Yang Longxing?"

"I know that infantry and tanks have strong combat effectiveness in coordination, but what kind of combat effectiveness can a troop that is just scattered like this have? Look at it with your eyes wide open. What does that look like? Is this what our Jilin Army is like?"

Wu Taixun was speechless. He knew that he was in for a big eye. He didn't even need to go in to look. He could see a sparse patch of weeds from a distance. The front and back of the house were even more messy. He could vaguely see large jars of soy sauce and farm tools.

"Jiang Feilan, I know what you are capable of now. Han Qing has become the chief commander of the North, and you... have also become a prominent figure in the Northeast Army because of your numerous military exploits."

Mr. Wu finally couldn't help it and started cursing with Jiang Cheng, "When you become powerful, if you look down on your former brothers, just say so directly. There's no need to act so high and mighty!"

"You are the governor of Jilin, and I am the governor of Heilongjiang. No one is inferior to anyone else. Don't think of suppressing me at every turn!"

It was obvious that this boy was shouting purely for the sake of face, but even though he was furious, it was also clear that he still felt a little guilty.

Jiang Cheng sneered and was about to retort when he heard a chaotic sound of running coming from the dense forest on one side.

"Master Jiang, be careful!"

As the guards surrounded the two, the battle-hardened Jiang Cheng instantly caught the direction of the person coming from -

They were seven strong men, specifically, soldiers.

From their crooked uniforms and dirty shoes, one could barely tell that they were wearing the uniform of the Northeast Army. But with their guns slung crookedly on their backs and their messy postures of carrying wild ducks, firewood, etc., they looked no different from a group of bandits.

Apparently, the quarrel between him and Wu Taixun had alarmed the soldiers nearby.

I guess I originally wanted to come and see the excitement, but I didn't expect that this "excitement" would be so complicated.

The leading officer looked around at the military ranks of Jiang Cheng and others in astonishment. He immediately dropped the things in his hands to the ground and quickly dressed and saluted.

The brothers who followed him were also dumbfounded, and followed suit, lining up and saluting.

"Well, this is good. You know the rules."

Jiang Cheng glanced at Wu Taixun, who was standing beside him with a livid face, with a hint of sarcasm. Wu Taixun angrily pulled out his horsewhip and hit the officer twice: "Asshole! Do you still have any soldier manners?"

The officer recognized with panic that this was the son of Mr. Wu, the new chief of their Heilongjiang Province, and cried out in his heart: Why is this ancestor here?
After Wu Taixun had vented his anger by whipping him a few times, the officer introduced himself as Battalion Commander Cui Dazhu... Today he brought the brothers to inspect the territory, and as spring had just arrived, the brothers were greedy and went to the beach to look for duck eggs.

"Master Wu, you, you calm down, calm down! It's all because of us bastards—"

Cui Dazhu smiled again and again, "I'll go back and heat up the pot and oil to entertain you and the officers!"

After saying this, as if to cooperate with him, Wu Taixun's stomach actually made a loud gurgling sound.

Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: That's all! The lack of strict discipline from top to bottom has little to do with these lower-level people.

A group of people welcomed them into the military camp. When the regiment commander Yang Longxing heard that Commander Wu from the provincial capital had arrived, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly led all the brothers on duty to line up to welcome them.

"Come on, there's no need to put on such a show. I came here today just to inspect your troops."

Wu Taixun coughed heavily and continued, "Go and take Commander Jiang to look at the regiment's documents!" (End of this chapter)
