The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 91 I’m going to hit the oriole!

"It was just a random idea of ​​a few of us playmates, rolling some gunpowder and throwing firecrackers—"

Jiang Cheng laughed and made an excuse, "Actually, I never thought it would be so powerful, haha!"

Gao Wensheng shook his head and smiled: "You are really smart, you little brat!"

Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said a few words modestly, then continued to look towards Sun Liechen's camp:

A large number of cavalry gathered and set out along the "escape direction" they had arranged in advance, leading the cavalry who were annoyed by the flying thunder cannon all the way to the position of the 53rd Brigade.

You know, Jiang Lanxuan's 10th Regiment was originally a cavalry regiment. When it comes to surprise attack and mobility, no one in the entire Fengtian Province has ever been afraid of them. Even the former Fengtian Province governor Duan Zhigui suffered a great loss.

"Very good. Very good."

Jiang Cheng slowly put down the telescope. Cai Yuanzong at the side asked again: "Feilan, what should we do now? Should we go over and help?"

"No!"

Jiang Cheng answered decisively, calling on all the cavalrymen to go to the hidden mounts, "Tell the brothers to follow—"

"We have to go to the South Manchuria Railway!"

Gao Wensheng was stunned for a moment, then he immediately understood.

Old Feng had been involved with the Japanese before, and now that the Black Dragon Society in Xinmin City had begun to be purged, the dissatisfied Japanese might take advantage of the conflict and come to Xinmin to take advantage.

In the hometown behind me, the sound of gunfire was heard continuously.

Jiang Cheng, with a sullen face, led the cavalry in the opposite direction, heading straight for the Xinmin Station on the South Manchuria Railway.

Along the railways in the Northeast, Japan set up a large number of Kwantung Army barracks under the pretext of maintaining railway safety.

These not only seriously undermined the sovereignty of the Northeast, often caused conflicts with the Fengtian Army and the people, but also laid endless seeds for future aggressive wars.

"Little Japan, will you come?"

Even Cai Yuanzong understood the purpose of Jiang Cheng's leading troops to guard here, "It's unlikely, right? This matter has nothing to do with them."

"How many times have the Japanese used the excuse of maintaining public order to send troops to various places, beat people up, and occupy places,"

Jiang Cheng spat on the ground, "Then he just acted like a dog's skin ringworm and refused to leave."

"What this means..."

Because of his humorous smile, Cai Yuanzong said seriously, "Then, shall we just stay here? That's right. If those little Japanese guys come out and attack us from behind, it will be very troublesome."

When Sun Liechen fought with the 53rd Brigade, a bloody battle was inevitable even if he surrounded Yang Hong and Li Shitou in the city.

Once the Japanese know about this, they will most likely rush out to interfere with Xinmin.

Whether there is a benefit or not, just give it a try. If you are lucky enough to get something for free, you can even station troops in Xinmin under the pretext of "maintaining the security of overseas Chinese."

"Here it comes, it's really coming!"

Just as they were talking, someone shouted softly in the night rain.

Everyone looked over there at the same time. Jiang Cheng, who was holding a telescope, was the first to see a large group of Japanese soldiers riding on Japanese horses and carrying Type 38 rifles. Behind them were three trucks carrying ammunition, heading towards Xinmin!
"Uncle, I think our joint defense team should set up a department specifically for catching spies in the future."

Jiang Cheng teased, "As soon as our gun went off, the Japanese were like dogs smelling shit, they rushed right at us!"

Gao Wensheng's face turned red.

In fact, after the so-called joint defense team was established as suggested by Jiang Cheng, in addition to being responsible for the public security of Xinmin County, it also had a very important responsibility, which was to eliminate spies in the city.

As a staff officer, he knew very well:

The Japanese moved so quickly, their battle sequence was so complete, and their troops were so well-organized that they definitely did not decide to move out after the gunshots.
They must have known in advance that there would be a military deployment near Xinmin, so they assembled the troops early and waited at home.

"It's my fault!" He whispered in the dark, "Feilan, when I get back I will definitely increase my efforts to deal with the spies in the city!"

"Ah."

Without dwelling on this matter any further, Jiang Cheng cast a cold gaze into the distance.

The Japanese want to be the oriole and catch the mantis and cicada, right?
The one I’m hitting is the oriole!

The team of more than 300 cavalrymen headed towards Xinmin along the main road. Jiang Cheng turned around and said to Gao Wensheng and Cai Yuanzong, "Listen, the Japanese must be going after Brigadier General Sun."

"If they don't fire, we won't fire either."

Jiang Cheng stared at the Japanese army going away and continued to speak quickly, "Once they open fire, have the brothers place the gasoline barrels in two rows, three in front and three in the back, in the shape of a triangle—"

"Yes!"

In the dark rainy night, the sounds came one after another.

…………

At this time, Li Shitou was riding on his mount and commanding the battle on the North City Street in Xinmin.

The common people were awakened by the siege artillery fire and began to flee into the city, carrying their elderly and children with them, but casualties continued to occur in the process.

Fires were everywhere, and there were cries of grief. In the Republic of China, where warlords fought each other, such tragedies happened almost every day.

"Damn Tang Erhu, he really has his eyes on us Xinmin!"

Yang Hong, who was defending the company, was injured and was sitting on a splayed-legged chair with his wound bandaged by a military doctor. However, he still did not leave the front line and continued to give orders to his two battalion commanders.
"We must not let them break through the city gate!"

"Bring up all the gasoline barrels, light them and throw them down when there's another charge!"

boom!
Just as he finished speaking, a shell landed on the house behind him, and the heat wave caused by the explosion immediately knocked over the soldiers present.

Yang Hong ran headfirst into the shelter and almost lost consciousness. He struggled to stand up while holding onto the wall, his ears buzzing.

"Deputy Captain, I'm afraid we can't defend the North Gate!"

"Retreat? If we don't, we'll be wiped out..."

Just as he was about to curse "bastard", the soldiers of the 53rd Brigade who were about to gather and charge towards the city gate were suddenly hit and knocked down by a large number of bullets!
This is……

Reinforcements arrived?

Yang Hong was stunned for a moment, only to find that the melee outside the city had already begun.

This group of soldiers who appeared out of nowhere were extremely ruthless and gave the 53rd Brigade a head-on attack.

All the attention was focused on attacking Xinmin County, and even the commander did not notice that such a crazy group of cavalry was coming from behind.

The team was led not by Sun Liechen himself, but by a regiment commander under him named Liu Runchuan.

This man was also famous for his bravery and aggressiveness in Marshal Zhang's 27th Division.

He often led the charge, hacking and killing with a machete and a pistol, and he entered the enemy's camp as if there was no one there.

Of course, the advantage of being brave in combat is that this guy has always been straightforward.

Jiang Cheng threw three flying thunder cannons at Sun Liechen’s base, angering them to the greatest extent.

This team of cavalrymen eager for revenge were like hornets rushing out of their nest. They were led all the way here by the riders arranged in advance by Jiang Cheng. They didn't care whether it was the shells they threw or not. They just watched them rush into the city and rushed towards their positions in anger.
