The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 9 Reporting
Jiang Cheng shouted the order of "Twenty Military Sticks" with almost all his might, which scared away several old sparrows under the eaves of the barracks.

"Platoon leader, platoon leader...isn't this punishment too severe?"

"That's right, platoon leader. I was just having fun. My wife was giving birth today, so I drank a few more cups."

"Twenty military sticks can kill someone, Platoon Leader, how about we give him fewer blows?"

It was not until these soldiers realized that Jiang Cheng was serious that they came to their senses and begged for mercy.

He has already given me the cold shoulder, how can I just let him do what he wants?
He was about to curse a few more times and ask people to drag Wang Xiaoquan away, but he heard someone outside the crowd growling, "Are your ears filled with donkey hair? Didn't you listen to the platoon leader's order? Take him away and bring him to court-martial!"

The familiar voice made Jiang Cheng turn his head immediately, and he saw Gao Wensheng rushing over with his hands clasped behind his back, accompanied by several of his men.

"Yes!"

The soldiers, as strong as bulls, surrounded Wang Xiaoquan without saying a word and dragged him away without any explanation while he was still making a fuss.

This guy usually stirs up trouble and forms cliques. The original owner tried to deal with him several times but failed. Instead, he squeezed him out several times in various ways.

He had complained to his father several times, but to his surprise, Jiang Lanxuan not only did not protect him, but also scolded him.

"Listen! From now on, anyone who disregards military rules will not be forgiven, no matter who it is!"

Looking around at those who were silent as a mouse, Jiang Cheng deliberately raised his voice a few degrees and announced with a solemn expression.

Not only were the soldiers present stunned, even Gao Wensheng, who was planning to bring people to help him settle the matter, was dazed.

Could it be that this brat is really starting to grow up?

In a trance, Jiang Cheng had already dismissed the soldiers who were watching around him. Gao Wensheng took a deep breath and stepped forward and asked, "Feilan, what are you doing?"

"To win the support of the people and establish authority, what else can I do?"

Facing his complicated expression, Jiang Cheng pretended to be innocent, "You know that even in the cavalry camp, no one obeys me."

"It's really frustrating to be a platoon leader like me! If it weren't for my father, I would have been coaxed out of my job long ago, right?"

After hearing what he said, Gao Wensheng looked around at his subordinates, shook his head and smiled, then took him to the office area of ​​the military camp.

The conditions during the Republic of China were just like this. The so-called office area was just a row of simple red brick houses. The conditions were far worse than those of our border outposts in the 21st century.

However, since Jiang Lanxuan's promotion, management has been quite strict; not only this place, but the entire camp has suddenly looked new, with a feeling of neatness and solemnity.

"Boy, your idea of ​​gaining the support of others and establishing your authority is good, but you rarely even show up for duty on weekdays... It won't work if you just rely on a military stick to make them obey you."

"Tell me, what are you doing here today?"

After entering the room, Gao Wensheng closed the door and made him a cup of hot tea. "Are you really starting to care about the things in the camp?"

I'm afraid that in his eyes, the changes in myself, a rich young man, are a little too big.

"How can I not care? After all, this is our Jiang family's team!"

Jiang Cheng took the teacup but didn't drink a sip, and answered confidently.

Then he said, "Uncle, have you mentioned the matter I told you to my dad?"

Gao Wensheng was stunned by what he said, and then he remembered: "Oh, that thing... I haven't had time to talk about it yet! The division commander is recruiting troops and is heading towards Fengtian."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng almost jumped up:
Damn, he really went?
Historically, Feng Delin was dissatisfied with Marshal Zhang monopolizing the high-ranking position of commander-in-chief, so he led the elite of his 28th Division into Fengtian City.

He believed that he was stronger than the little guy in terms of strength, qualifications, territory, etc., and now he had taken the highest positions in both the military and political circles.

Especially since he has made such a great effort this time, how could he let it go?
"Uncle, I told you, you must not let my dad get involved in this mess... Hey, this, this..." Jiang Cheng was speechless.

Subsequent developments ended with the 28th Division's disastrous defeat and its incorporation - besides, the two major camps of Zhang and Feng were glaring at each other like black-eyed chickens, and he, Feng, did not even go when Zhang married his daughter.

Jiang Cheng knew very well that if he stayed indoors at this critical moment, he would be in trouble, but his father actually brought people to be the first to take action.

"Hey, kid, what do you know? Stop joining in the fun!"

Gao Wensheng didn't take it seriously and waved his hand with a smile, "There's nothing important going on in the camp recently. You can listen to your father and study at home, or you can go and have some fun with your brothers for a few days."

"Let's take a break for two days!"

Hearing what he meant, Jiang Cheng was unhappy that he still regarded himself as a lazy young master who was just waiting to die. "My father didn't even tell me about such a big thing as leading troops into the city... But what's wrong with you, uncle? Didn't my father take you with him when he went to Fengtian?"

"Well, someone has to stay in the camp. Xinmin has been in turmoil recently. There are constant bandit troubles in the surrounding areas. It will be troublesome if they take advantage of the vacancy in the defense and come into the city."

Gao Wensheng leaned on his desk and drank tea. "Your father is not very reassured about the two deputy battalion commanders, so he decided to leave me to look after the house."

"Oh... looking after the house."

Jiang Cheng curled his lips, "No way, uncle, do you mean to let Wang Xiaoquan and other idiots fight against the Mongolian bandits?"

Gao Wensheng was so amused that he almost spit out his tea: "You make it sound like our cavalry battalion is just a mob... Isn't that what soldiers are like?"

"As the saying goes, good iron is not used to make nails, and good men do not become soldiers. You don't stay in the camp often, so you will get used to it in the future. Hey, don't look at Wang Xiaoquan as a bad guy on weekdays, but what can he compare to charging into battle... Hey?"

As he was speaking, Jiang Cheng suddenly threw the teacup onto the desk and said, "Uncle, I may have encountered the Japanese who were trying to assassinate the governor."

Then, she told him the most important thing about what happened in the Japanese bathhouse. Gao Wensheng was so shocked that he straightened his back and asked, "Is this true?"

"How else can I deceive you?"

Jiang Cheng quickly added, "Uncle, you don't know. Brother Xuecheng and I heard it. The second lieutenant he brought with him knows Japanese. The two of them are going back to the provincial capital now."

"Will the warlord send people to our Xinmin to arrest them?"

Gao Wensheng held his chin in his hand and thought, "It's unlikely. I heard from Xishun that... you were also present on the day of the assassination. When you found out that the man was wearing clogs, you immediately ordered the news to be blocked."

"You kid, are you planning to come over to me to rob the Japanese?"

Gao Wensheng raised his hand and hit him on the forehead, "Even the commander-in-chief can't afford to offend the Japanese, how dare you have such a crooked idea!"

"Uncle, am I that stupid?"

Jiang Cheng rubbed his forehead, "I heard that the Japanese are trying to secretly move a batch of arms to the vicinity of Fengtian. Can we do that?"

Gao Wensheng opened his mouth and said, "You mean... he stole it?"

"Why, uncle, you don't dare?"

Jiang Cheng deliberately glared at the other party to provoke him, "Let's be honest, the officer who came with me might also be thinking about it!"

This is pure nonsense. He left him and Zhang Zhuqing alone when they were taking a bath in the pool, and he had no idea that they had encountered the Japanese.

Gao Wensheng stopped talking.

He folded his elbows and paced back and forth in the room, obviously troubled by this matter.
