The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

On the day the Combined Fleet captured Qingdao, the Japanese army launched an extremely fierce landing on the coast of Shandong.

Almost all the Japanese troops who could be dispatched began to seize the beach at the first opportunity and gathered along the entire Jiaozhou Peninsula.

In addition to conventional weapons such as airplanes and cannons, the Japanese army also continued to deploy tanks, flamethrowers, and even poison gas bombs, various biological and chemical weapons, etc., which were highly lethal and inhumane weapons.

As the Japanese army continued to gather in Shandong, the rapidly changing situation forced Hai Rushong to report to Zhang Hanqing in the capital immediately.

This made the Northern Chief very anxious.

The Japanese devils who started the war in his hometown have not been eliminated yet, and then they chased all the way into the interior, successively conquered Luanzhou, Wanping and Langfang, and have already approached the capital and North China... Now, the Japanese army has actually landed in Shandong and is coming to encircle North China again!

The officer was so anxious that he didn't sleep well for two days and two nights, and his old illness relapsed and he fell down;
There was chaos in the government and the country. In a daze, he suddenly remembered his "brother ally" in Nanjing.

But no matter how many reports he sent, the response was always to remain restrained and not to provoke the situation... He had to find a way to mobilize mediation from various countries and force the Japanese to withdraw their troops from Shandong.

How come he is still thinking of mobilizing other countries?
Relying on others to force the Japanese back, under what circumstances can one come up with this idea? The Japs couldn't defeat Fei Lan in the Northeast, and now they have come to Shandong. To put it bluntly, they are taking advantage of it.

Thinking about these things, Zhang Hanqing, who was already seriously ill, felt a headache coming on.

But the thought that just flashed through his mind made Zhang Hanqing immediately think of transferring Jiang Cheng into the pass.

"Let him deal with the Japs... it should end the battle quickly, right?"

He muttered to himself unconsciously, but he quickly dismissed the thought.

That "no resistance" caused hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops to flee into the interior of China, and they lost many areas of Fengtian Province one after another.

On the one hand, he and Rongzhen Wang Yizhe were constantly being criticized, and on the other hand, Jiang Cheng's reputation in China was growing, and he was threatening to overshadow himself as the chief commander;

If I let him enter the country to help me fight the Japanese, then...

Thinking of this, Zhang Hanqing broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hanqing, I think you should send people to reinforce Shandong, right?"

While he was distracted, Yu Fengzhi, who had been taking care of him closely, whispered suggestions to him.

While Zhang Hanqing was thinking, Yu Fengzhi changed the wet towel for him to use on his head, and then said, "If... I mean if, can you let us enter the pass to fight?"

Zhang Hanqing knew who his wife was talking about.

In fact, I had thought about it myself, but now that my wife mentioned it, I felt uncomfortable.

The most important thing now is that the war in the interior is so bad, while Jiang Cheng has won victory after victory in the Northeast.

Such a comparison made Zhang Hanqing, who always felt that he was inferior to him, feel even more uncomfortable.

"Even you think he's better than me, right?"

He grabbed the towel from above his head and threw it to the ground. "I know that the battle has turned out like this today, and too many people scolded me--"

"Now Shandong is also being messed up by the Japanese, but I can't even drive out the Japanese in the interior. Jiang Feilan is fighting well in the Northeast and is about to take back Fengtian!" As if she heard the movement in the room, Miss Zhao Si also knocked on the door and came in to persuade him not to lose his temper when he was sick, which was not good for his health. Everyone knows that the war in the interior is tense, so if you have a headache, just rest more...

However, Zhang Hanqing's temper became worse and worse. He cursed and even jumped up and said that this situation might be a conspiracy of Jiang Feilan:
If he could divert the trouble all the way from the Northeast to the interior, he could use the Japanese devils to "clean up" the overall situation, and then he could monopolize power in the Northeast and even the seven provinces outside the Great Wall!
The two wives were stunned by his outburst of anger, and then Yu Fengzhi was so angry that she trembled all over: "You are really out of your mind. Why do you keep losing your temper with two women like us?"

Seeing that he was stopped by the scolding, Yu Fengzhi softened her tone, "Alright, we all know that you feel bad - but you are not in good health now, what's the point of losing your temper all the time?"

Miss Zhao Si also gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, Hanqing, let's think about how to go to Shandong for rescue!"

In fact, he was more anxious than anyone else.

Once Shandong is broken through, the vast flat North China region will be like meat in the mouths of the Japanese.

But even if he went to rescue, it would be like adding fuel to the fire.

While he was distracted, Rong Zhen ran in breathlessly: "Commander-in-chief, the Japanese troops in Port Arthur... Port Arthur are heading towards Bohai Bay!"

…………

When the Japanese army pulled the front line to Shandong, the three large forces of Jiang Lanxuan, Sun Jiunian and Gao Wensheng had completed the encirclement of Fengtian from Rehe, Jinzhou and Xinmin respectively.

Victory became just around the corner. The Japanese army did not have an advantage in numbers, nor did they have a gap in weapons. It was almost impossible for them to turn the situation around by just relying on their fierceness.

From the Battle of Shanhaiguan to the successive victories in the landing battles in Shandong, the Japanese army saw the "dawn" of gaining more advantages and benefits in China...

The Kwantung Army began to evacuate from the two major ports of Yingkou and Lushun, heading towards the Bohai Bay!

The area around Pingjin...is in danger!
"It is true that people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. The devils are devils, they really know how to find a place."

Zhang Xuecheng pouted and cursed, "But I'm afraid everyone inside the Great Wall is cursing us. We've driven the Japanese back to where they are."

Jiang Cheng leaned on the map without saying anything, but Zhang Tingshu on the side sneered and said, "That's fine, if you have the ability, let them drive the Japanese back to us?"

"What the hell, you keep talking nonsense! You don't even mention these Japanese who are running for their lives. We've almost plucked out all their hair... Who is the most powerful one? Let them come and have a taste of their power?"

Sun Zhengnan frowned: "Stop talking, I'm already upset right now - Shandong is bearing the brunt of the impact, if we don't take care of it, who will?"

Shandong is where Hai Rusong is. Both father and son are stubborn and will never abandon the city and run away... The Japs are more ferocious than any of them imagined. With the three-dimensional attack from sea, land and air, there will definitely be another bloodbath.

He glanced at Jiang Cheng, whose face was becoming increasingly darker, and knew clearly in his mind that it was simply unrealistic to go to the interior to rescue him now.

The Shanhaiguan line is full of Japanese invaders, and Zhili is also full of Japanese invaders. If we wait for them to rush all the way to Shandong, will it be too late?

If they go by water, they won't be able to mobilize so many troop transport ships to fight in a short time.

"Master Jiang, we..."

When everyone was nervous, Jiang Cheng suddenly slammed the table and stood up: "Okay, you want to attack Shandong, right? Beat them, beat them to death!" (End of this chapter)
