The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 90 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

There was a gust of wind and the rain became heavier.

"Feilan!"

Gao Wensheng arrived with the vanguard troops. Everyone was surprised to see him leading Cai Yuanzong and others to meet them.

Even though he was Jiang Lanxuan's think tank, he couldn't understand how this guy did it.

Not only did he kill Erhu single-handedly, he also captured Cai Junheng's 2nd Regiment.

In fact, Tang Yulin was not wrong. Jiang Cheng was using a borrowed knife to kill this time.

Before leaving Xinmin, Jiang Cheng slipped a hastily written note into Gao Wensheng's hand.

Let him follow closely so that you can act according to the circumstances.

When Cai Chanjuan mentioned that his father and Tang Erhu had formed an alliance and were plotting against their Xinmin territory, Jiang Cheng knew clearly:
With such a huge piece of fat meat in front of them, the two of them would certainly be at odds with each other.

Even though the beads on the abacus make a loud noise, there must be some conspiracy between them.
Besides, Tang Erhu had such a hot temper, and if he took Cai Chanjuan with him to instigate him, it would definitely lead to a fight.

But Jiang Cheng never dreamed that Cai Chanjuan would tie a grenade to her body and express her determination to kill him in public;

What's more, he never expected that Cai Junheng, that Wu Dalang-like idiot, would risk his life for his daughter's beloved after learning about her daughter's thoughts... and finally entrusted his daughter to him.

This strategy of sowing discord not only killed Erhu and Cai Junheng, but also captured the 2nd Regiment. The effect was so great that even Jiang Cheng had not expected it.

"Feilan, they are..."

Standing in the rain, leading the horse, Gao Wensheng's voice interrupted Jiang Cheng's thoughts.

"Uncle, let's not talk about this for now - how is Xinmin doing?"

He was dragged into the big tent, where torches lit up the entire area.

You know, Tang and Cai used a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, intending to encircle Xinmin again. Gunshots have just been heard in Yangguanzhuang, and the 53rd Brigade stationed in Wanjiapo must take action!
"Just as you thought, there was a fight here, and Wanjiapo's troops headed towards Xinmin!"

Gao Wensheng wiped the rain off his face and asked, "Are we?"

Without responding immediately, Jiang Cheng clasped his hands behind his back and stared at the spread-out map, quickly thinking of a strategy.

Yang Hong and Li Shitou were guarding Xinmin, and the outer troops were using the city to defend against the enemy. Even if his 53rd Brigade was large in number and powerful, it would be wishful thinking for him to take it down in a short time.

"What about the 54th Brigade?"

Cai Yuanzong's dissatisfied voice sounded, "That Brigade Commander Sun, is he just standing on the periphery watching us fight?"

"He is trying to prevent the 53rd Brigade from causing trouble, so he won't bother with Xinmin's business."

Gao Wensheng's slow words suddenly reminded Jiang Cheng.

"Yes, he was on guard against someone causing chaos in the provincial capital..."

Jiang Cheng lowered his head and smiled, "Then uncle, should we tell him that someone is going to cause trouble in the provincial capital?"

…………

"Hey, what are you doing here, kid?"

Just as the 53rd Brigade rushed towards Xinmin and started a firefight, a scout ran towards Sun Liechen's tent in a hurry, but was stopped by the adjutant at the door, "Hey, I know! Isn't it Tang Yulin and Jiang Lanxuan who are fighting?"

"The brigade commander has already said that as long as we fight in that circle, we don't have to worry about him!"

The scout scratched his head and said, "Really? But the brigade commander also said that all the movements of Tang Erhu and Cai Xiaozhuozi should be reported to him!"

"If it's a big deal, let's talk to the brigade commander tomorrow morning. He hasn't been feeling well lately. Don't go in and disturb him when he just fell asleep..."

"Haifu! What are you guys arguing about outside? Come in!"

Just as the adjutant Wei Haifu was pushing the scout and winking at him to keep his voice down, Sun Liechen's roar came from the tent.

Unable to help but roll his eyes at the scout who was eager to show off, Wei Haifu turned around and trotted into the room, saluting Sun Liechen who sat up in shock: "Brigade Commander, there's a fight going on in Xinmin!" "You've been taking medicine recently, I was afraid of disturbing your rest."

Sun Liechen's health was actually not bad, but he had been overworked since following the Marshal in his campaigns, and had to take medicine intermittently throughout the year. Later, he took on several jobs and worked hard. He died of illness in Fengtian eight years later.

In fact, he had not fallen asleep for long. With red eyes, he looked at his adjutant coldly.

"The 53rd Brigade is fighting. What about Cai Xiaochui?"

Sun Liechen pulled the military jacket hanging outside the quilt and said, "He has worked so hard... He even traveled a long way to come to Fourth Brother's place!"

He rolled his eyes but didn't answer. But the scout standing next to him, who looked like he had just been fished out of the water, interrupted him and said, "Commander! Tang Erhu led 200 soldiers to break into Xinmin today."

"Then he injured a lot of people on the street and ran all the way to Yangguanzhuang!"

Wei Haifu was so angry that he turned around and slapped him in the face: "When is it your turn to speak?"

Sun Liechen raised his hand to stop him: "Let this kid continue talking."

The scout looked at the adjutant aggrievedly and continued to answer: "I and a few brothers risked our lives to see it!"

"Then Cai Junheng's large group of people are hiding in the leeward area near Yangguanzhuang!"

Sun Liechen's eyes lit up: "Interesting, isn't it? It seems that Fourth Brother is still not giving up, and is actually planning to drag the 28th Division into the chaos?"

However, just as he finished speaking, a shell landed directly on Sun Liechen's camp!
The explosion immediately overturned several tents in the surrounding area, and flames spread along with the screams of soldiers.

Sun Liechen was so shocked that he cursed, and before he could even put on his military boots, the second and third shells fell!
The flames caused by the explosion even set Sun Liechen's main tent on fire, and all the soldiers rushed out of the tent with weapons in hand.

"That bastard Cai Xiaozhuo actually brought his men to attack us!"

Staring at the mess in his own camp, Sun Liechen shouted, "Go and kill them, bastards!"

…………

"Hehe, I knew it."

After launching a surprise attack on Sun Liechen's camp, Jiang Cheng led the cavalry to escape and hide in the nearby woods.

Holding up the telescope, Jiang Cheng saw that Sun Liechen's troops were angered by his artillery shells and began to assemble their troops and charge.

He smiled smugly: No wonder they can't beat Marshal Zhang, these warlords who came from the green forest really don't know what it means to be cunning and deceitful.

"Erhu, Erhu, if you were still alive, I would really ask you to come over and see what it means to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

Although he was shivering from the cold in the rain, Jiang Cheng's face was still full of a smug smile.

"I understand using someone else's knife to kill someone. I also understand that you used Old Sun to kill the 53rd Brigade that was causing trouble... But what was that thing you just asked someone to throw away?"

Gao Wensheng patted his shoulder and couldn't help but smack his lips, "My goodness, that's too powerful, isn't it?"

"Pfft, uncle, are you talking about that?"

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

Of course you don’t know him. It’s impossible for anyone to know him in this era—

Even if you didn't travel from the 21st century like me, you should at least know about the War of Liberation.

That thing is the Flying Thunder Cannon that became very popular in later generations, also called the "Heartless Cannon".

They are cheap, easy to make, and available in large quantities. Before the sneak attack, Jiang Cheng asked the people from the 2nd Regiment to follow suit and just made a few of them, which caused great suffering to Sun Liechen's troops.
