The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

(Full map at that time...readers can check the sphere of influence on their own)

"What the hell? The Japanese are asking for peace with me. They want to negotiate again?"

Perhaps because of his repeated weakness and incompetence, Jiang Cheng's head aches whenever he hears the word "negotiation".

Sun Zhengnan chuckled and handed the message over with both hands: "Master Jiang, the message was sent secretly, and the decryption method is quite special... But as for the content, you can actually tell what this devil is planning to do at a glance."

I took the telegram with half belief and half doubt, wondering if these bastards felt they couldn't win the battle and were using the so-called "negotiations" to buy time in order to get reinforcements from the rear or the North Korean garrison.

However, after he quickly glanced through it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This... No wonder the Japanese are called dogs. What’s the difference between their words, actions, and thinking and those of dogs?
After a few consecutive beatings, once it's subdued, it will immediately lie down and expose its belly to you. Isn't this the habit of that kind of creature?

“It feels a bit fake.”

Jiang Cheng scratched his chin, his newly grown beard stubble was a little flaky, "This Shang Yumingcheng seems to be a tough guy. When he came to Siping with Youshan Jun, he was obviously more reserved and forbearing. Can he surrender so easily and rebel?"

Before Sun Zhengnan could speak, Zhang Xuecheng on the side said anxiously: "I think the devils are not trustworthy... With the current situation of all parties advancing, we should drive the devils in Fengtian Province all the way to North Korea as soon as possible."

Jiang Cheng nodded thoughtfully.

But the biggest problem is that with the approach of winter, if they choose North Korea as the location for the decisive battle, where the terrain conditions are even more severe, it would be difficult to achieve a quick victory.

In addition, the main force of the Japanese army is still on the mainland. Let’s not talk about anything else, just those Class A divisions. If they were to rush into China all at once, the Northeast could still withstand it, but the South and the coastal areas would have a very hard time.

If Shang Yumingcheng was willing to rebel at this time, they would be able to find out the situation of the Japanese army as quickly as possible and push them into the interior at a considerable speed.

In this way, the pocket for "closing the door and beating the dog" can be made.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing Jiang Cheng lowering his brows in deep thought, Zhang Xuecheng asked, "But think about it carefully. If we fight a decisive battle in Korea, it will be difficult for our armored forces to play their advantage."

Jiang Cheng smiled: "I think if I could learn from you, I would be a handsome man!"

He thought for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the sand table.

The generals standing at the command center at this time couldn't help but gather around.

Jiang Cheng grabbed the bamboo pole lying beside him with his right hand and pointed at the sand table: "At present, thanks to our advancement, the devils around Feng Province have been eliminated--"

"Their remaining forces are gathering towards Fengtian. In addition to warning the people of Fengtian to evacuate, Jinzhou, with the support of Rehe and other places, has begun preparing for the final decisive battle."

Jiang Cheng glanced at Sun Zhengnan and asked him to continue, "The news we received is that the number of Kwantung Army in Fengtian Province should be close to 30,000... But after this counterattack, the Japanese may have lost a lot of people."

This beautiful counterattack will definitely become the most important part of the anti-Japanese war.
But the Japanese, who suffered such a great loss, will inevitably launch a crazy counterattack - these two or three thousand people may not be a lot, but they are also a small number, but they are all troops stationed in China for quite some time.

If they get ruthless and turn their bayonets towards ordinary people, that would be bad... Although as soldiers, being too soft-hearted is a big taboo, they still have to take those tens of thousands of ordinary people into consideration.

"Another point is that our weapons are mainly mechanical armor, and North Korea is mountainous, and the roads are even more rugged - on the contrary, if we drive the devils into North Korea, it will be difficult for us to play our advantages." Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and continued, "Everyone, although I may be criticized for saying this... I think we should drive the devils back to the interior."

In this way, the Northwestern Army and the Shanxi Army would be involved one after another, and once they entered Shanhaiguan, the road would be smooth.
His planes, tanks, cannons, and even heavy weapons could chase and attack the Japanese like herding sheep.

Zhang Xuecheng was shocked.

My goodness, it's not just the Northwest Army and the Shanxi Army that have entered the pass, my brother's Northeast Army is also inside the pass, so that means...

"Unite to resist Japan."

Jiang Cheng finally said this, "Think about it, everyone. If the Japanese can't gain any advantage in the Northeast, what will they do?"

"Given their strong desire for revenge, they will most likely turn to attack other places... We chased these bastards all the way through the border, which is like releasing mad dogs. Once they bite those guys who have been sitting on the mountain watching the fight, they will know how cruel the Japanese are."

Jiang Cheng had thought about mobilizing everyone's "enthusiasm" before, but after fighting a few battles, he found that the best way was to let them get slapped a few times by the Japanese and drag everyone into the water and become tough together.

Only in this way can we truly achieve the effect of stopping war with war... Otherwise, next time, the Japanese will not target the Northeast, but go to Shandong, Shanghai, or Yuhang and other places. With China's vast coastline, this mad dog will always find a place to invade!
If that time really comes, these warlords will probably have to make China suffer even greater losses before they can even think of rising up in resistance.

The generals looked at each other and soon understood what Jiang Cheng meant:
He intends to use short-term pain to pave the way for ultimate victory.

"Then... Feilan, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Xuecheng asked the first question.

At this time, Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, then put his hands on his hips and turned his gaze to the sand table.

First, use bamboo poles to point out places such as Jinzhou, Hongluoxian, and Jinxi to Funing Liaoxi Corridor, all the way to Shanhaiguan and other places;

Then he shook the telegram in his hand, which was called "Bellie Expose".

"Look, isn't this the bait that's delivered to our doorstep? Let him set an example for the Japanese devils!"

…………

No one quite understood Jiang Cheng's intention, but with Shang Yumingcheng's secret entry into the city, Sun Zhengnan was the first to understand what he meant.

On behalf of Jiang Cheng, he met with the Japanese leader who was quite willing to surrender in a secret room at the Siping headquarters and told him:

Since you are so aware of the current situation, Mr. Jiang will naturally be willing to give you a way out.

Shang Yumingcheng was happy and immediately expressed his willingness to obey Commander Jiang and to hand over all the benefits he had recently gained.

Oh, this is a bit of extra gain?

Of course, you can't refuse the benefits. Sun Zhengnan said with a stern face, "Who do you think Mr. Jiang is?" "How can you think of bribing him?"

But as an old hand in the Kwantung Army, Shang Yumingcheng knew everything. The young chief of staff in front of him was just being polite. He immediately said seriously that these were all sincere and asked Chief Jiang and others not to refuse. (End of this chapter)
