The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Isn’t there another saying?
"Defend Jinzhou to the death, the Zhongyang Army will provide reinforcements."

Until later, he still believed that his ally in Nanjing would help him take back the Northeast.

"Nine years, you're right."

Jiang Cheng said seriously, "I've said it before, it's better to rely on ourselves than on others - the future of Northeast China must be solved by ourselves!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore... The reinforcements from Rehe will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest. In addition, the defense fortifications for Jinzhou should be built around the Daling River."

"Also, Hongluoxian and Jinxi must be on guard."

Sun Jiunian also immediately said seriously: "I understand. The entire Fengtian Province has been captured by the Japanese. The Japanese in Yingkou and Panjin have formed a pincer attack on Jinzhou... As long as I guard the Daling River and the Nv'er River Bridge, the Japanese will never be able to reach Jinzhou."

Jiang Cheng nodded repeatedly and added, "That's right! In addition, all the searchlights, anti-aircraft guns, and all anti-aircraft weapons in the city must be replenished. I'm sure the Japanese will send out a large number of aircraft for air strikes."

But just as he was about to continue chatting with Sun Jiunian about the war situation, there was a sudden sound of electricity from the other end of the line.

The call was disconnected.

"What...did the devils cut off the telephone line?"

Seeing the disappointment in his eyes, Sun Zhengnan frowned and said, "We also lost contact with Rehe more than an hour ago."

about an hour?

Jiang Cheng turned his head suddenly and said, "So, did you receive the order to reinforce Jinzhou?"

Sun Zhengnan gritted his teeth and shook his head: "I'm not sure... Master Jiang, the order has been sent, but the recipient doesn't seem to have copied it or replied. I'm worried that the message may be intercepted by the Japanese-"

Jiang Cheng lowered his brows in thought, looked around at the generals standing near the sand table behind him, and said thoughtfully: "The Japanese would be best served if they knew that Jinzhou would have reinforcements, they would definitely come north."

You know, the Japanese know the situation in Northeast China best... The further north you go, the worse the climate becomes;
Especially in Heilongjiang Province, the annual ice age is long, which has a huge impact on combat.

Once these devils realize that Jinzhou is difficult to capture, they will definitely try to capture it by force before the severe cold hits Jilin, Heilongjiang and other places.

"Places like Zhengjiatun must strengthen patrols and strictly guard each defense zone. In addition, places like Ji'an, Yanji, and Long must also be careful to defend against the devils coming from North Korea."

"The patrol team is mainly composed of the two Korean divisions that we incorporated... They are more familiar with the terrain than our brothers; and their homes were taken away and their fellow villagers were killed, so they must hate the devils even more."

As soon as the order was issued, as if to confirm Jiang Cheng's words, a faint humming sound of an engine was heard overhead.

"Shh!"

Zhang Tinglan raised her hand and put up her fingers as a gesture of silence - after about a few seconds, everyone realized what that sound was.

"The reconnaissance plane... is from the Japs!"

Sun Zhengnan raised his eyebrows, "You're really quick."

At that time, the phone rang loudly. Han Ming picked up the receiver and quickly asked Jiang Cheng: "Master Jiang, Li Guangqi asked you whether to send fighter planes to shoot down the enemy reconnaissance plane?"

Jiang Cheng thought for a few seconds, sneered and shook his head, "No need! Since the reconnaissance plane is coming, it must be heading north..."

"Brothers, pack up your weapons and get ready for battle!"

…………Jiang Cheng’s guess was correct. The Japanese were indeed riding on the railway, using armored vehicles to lead the way and heading towards Siping.

Xinmin, where Gao Wensheng was stationed, was peaceful at this time - it seemed as if the Japanese had forgotten the "thorn" in Fengtian Province and simply ignored it.

In fact, both he and Jiang Lanxuan understood that the Japanese army did not target Xinmin now because they were afraid of stirring up a hornet's nest in Rehe and other places.

With the fall of Fengtian, although the capital did not revoke the "non-resistance" order, the telegrams exchanged with the outside of the Great Wall more or less tacitly indicated that "the capital would decide whether to counterattack based on the situation."

Under such circumstances, Jiang Cheng immediately ordered Zhang Tingshu to lead the entire fleet to charge out from the two major military ports of Vladivostok and Tumen River, and launch a fierce bombardment on the Japanese Combined Fleet.

Affected by this, it would be extremely difficult for the local Japanese to come to reinforce... Once the Japanese come north and a decisive battle takes place in Siping, the Xinmin garrison will definitely give them a beating.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Cheng and Gao Wensheng were able to take advantage of the terrain and form a "closing the door and beating the dog" formation against the Japanese.

On September 9, scouts in the Kaiyuan area discovered traces of Japanese troop movements.

But what was strange was that these Japanese soldiers who were driving the armored train and were fully armed all got off at Kaiyuan Station and set up camp there.

At night, every camp started to cook. It seemed that they were not here to fight, but to have a picnic.

"What the fuck is going on?"

After reporting the situation to Jiang Cheng, Siping garrison commander Dai Wenjun was completely confused. "If you want to fight, just fight. Why are you squatting here? Are you waiting for us to attack?"

Jiang Cheng said nothing.

With his hands on the sand table, his eyes were fixed on the situation map arranged in front of him.

Reconnaissance planes, fully armed Japanese soldiers, armored trains and cannons, it's clear they're here to fight.

But what are they waiting for?
"I think the devil's old problem has come back."

Jiang Cheng suddenly thought of something. "Now the Northeast is preparing for war everywhere. In addition, Ting Shu is causing trouble for them at sea. These bastards are bound to encounter difficulties in the future..."

"This is not the first time the Japanese have fought us. They know exactly how powerful I, Jiang Cheng, am. If we fail to win quickly, even if we can drag them out of Siping, the main force of the Fengtian Army in the interior and Jinzhou will strike back at them, and these Japanese will have to give up!"

Sun Zhengnan suddenly realized: "So, the Japanese are stationed here, and they might send people to ask for peace?"

However, just as we figured out the devil's intention, the second group of scouts returned.

It is said that there was an exchange of fire in the Kaiyuan area - but looking at the huge disparity in strength between the Japanese and the enemy, it seemed like a one-sided massacre.

"Strange, the Japs have been doing so well lately, why haven't anybody taken the initiative to attack them?"

Sun Zhengnan was confused. "Another huge disparity in strength. What's going on?"

Jiang Cheng ordered the scouts to investigate again, but just as this group of brothers left, a report came from the city wall of Siping that Feng Yong had led the remaining troops of the 28th Division that had withdrawn from Dapingzhuang to surrender to Siping.

"Could it be them?"

His eyes lit up, and Jiang Cheng quickly led the guards to the city gate to greet them.

But as soon as he saw the person, Feng Yong shouted to Jiang Cheng with a sad face, asking him to find a military doctor as soon as possible to save his father!
Seeing Feng Delin covered in blood on the stretcher, Jiang Cheng shuddered as if he had received an electric shock. He quickly turned around and ordered everyone to go back and find all the best doctors, and save his life at all costs. (End of this chapter)
