The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Jiang Cheng glanced at Song Qingyuan, who was standing beside him with a nervous look, and then told him about the situation in Weifang City.

"Weifang is too close to Qingdao, and there are too many people... plus the people evacuated from Qingdao, it added a lot of chaos, making it difficult for the troops to fight and evacuate the people."

In fact, he said this to save face for his father-in-law.

The Japanese army broke through Weifang City and slaughtered people in the city, killing more than half of the residents. The local defenders fought to the death until the last man, and handed in a battle report of "the whole army was annihilated" to his superior.

But the reason for this was not only because the Japanese were fierce in combat, and their weapons and tactics were advanced, but also because he, as the head coach, failed to provide adequate support.

Another major reason was what Jiang Cheng was going to talk to him about next.

"Feilan, actually this time I..."

Before his father-in-law could take the initiative to talk about the issue of rushing to help, Jiang Cheng gently raised his hand and interrupted him: "Dad, we are family, so I will speak directly if I have anything to say."

As he said that, he asked Song Qingyuan to take out the submachine gun he brought with him, "Take a look, do you recognize this thing?"

Hai Rushong looked down and was about to blurt out the answer, but he suddenly changed his mind and thought that his son-in-law would not do a stupid thing like asking questions even though he already knew the answer, so he turned his inquiring gaze away, waiting for him to speak frankly.

Reaching out his right hand and gently patting Song Qingyuan's shoulder, Jiang Cheng said: "Dad, I think you have heard of a local gang in Shandong, called Liangshan Gang? His name is Song Qingyuan, and he is the leader of the Weifang branch -"

As he spoke, he told the other party his identity, his participation in the Weifang Anti-Japanese War, and the weapons used by his brothers.

Hai Rusong was not stupid, and he immediately understood the subtext of Jiang Cheng's words:
Damn Weifang garrison!
They actually secretly sold all the weapons assigned by their superiors.

"They all died for their country in this battle, so this can be considered as making up for their mistakes."

With a slightly sad look in his eyes, Jiang Cheng let out a long breath and continued, "But there is one thing I must say clearly: Dad, I know that you have been used to a hard life over the years... but I can't let all the brothers under you suffer with me."

"You tie your head to your belt and fight with others all day long. Isn't it all about money?"

When Hai Rushong first followed Jiang Lanxuan to manage the horse farm, he was known for his poverty. When they first left the Military Academy and lived in the old house of the Hai family, the house and furniture were old and dilapidated, all of which reflected his living habits.

As Hai Pingchuan's agent in charge of Shandong, he must have been more lax in his duties than before, but it is almost impossible to completely change the habits formed over the years.

The fact that these people did not desert the battlefield shows that they still deeply love this land and are aware of their duties as soldiers.

"Dad, this matter is over. The Japanese in Weifang have been driven away. Next we need to rebuild and resettle the refugees. In addition..."

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he stood up, shaking his clothes. "I have decided that in response to the bloody incidents committed by the Japanese army outside the Great Wall and Shandong, the seven provinces outside the Great Wall will declare a united resistance against Japan!"

Hearing his words, Hai Rushong, who originally looked sick, straightened up, suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked back at him in surprise.

However, before he could express his opinion, Song Qingyuan, who had been silent, immediately said loudly: "As long as Master Jiang goes to fight the Japanese, I, Song Qingyuan, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

He looked back and smiled, and Jiang Cheng soon heard Hai Rusong also express his opinion: "The 30,000 standing troops of Shandong will also join the United Provinces to fight against Japan!"

Jiang Cheng rubbed his hands, "Then, next, it depends on how our commander expresses his opinion."

…………

Two days after the war in Shandong was resolved, the remnants of the Kwantung Army who were still resisting in the Zhili area were quickly wiped out by the Northeast Army that entered the pass one after another.

Peace soon returned to the border areas, and the Korean Peninsula across from Ji'an also quieted down. The Japanese troops stationed there retreated successively to Daejeon, Busan, Pyongyang, and Seoul, and spontaneous anti-Japanese actions by Koreans became more and more frequent.

Of course, behind these actions, there is probably the shadow of Jiang Cheng's support.

As early as more than ten years ago, people from the Korean Peninsula had been fleeing to Jilin one after another, and they were all arranged and recruited by him.

As soon as the war in Ji'an subsided, Jiang Cheng gave these Korean divisions a lot of equipment and supplies and sent them back to the peninsula to fight the Japanese.

With their "troublemaking", the Japanese naturally had a huge headache and naturally had no time to cause trouble for the Northeast.

Although everything was calm in the north, the south was in a state of panic.

The Japanese army continued to provoke wars, but only gained a little bit of benefits in Feng Province.

Later, as soon as they entered Jilin, they were so greedy that they provoked a fierce counterattack that affected the entire body.

After suffering countless casualties along the way, Japan changed its initial aggressive attitude of looking for trouble and instead pretended to be pitiful... It said that it was just looking for criminals who destroyed the railway, but it was beaten up by the Northeast Army.

They wanted to punish the rude Jiang Cheng and "demand compensation" from Nanjing.

It's really interesting. If you can't beat them, just change your face and then try to continue to take advantage.

But Nanjing couldn't afford to offend Japan. Everyone in Nanjing was thinking about one thing:

Get rid of Jiang Cheng, the one who caused the trouble, and then find a way to trick the Japanese into stationing troops in the Northeast again... After all, these invaders with big appetites have been chased by the Northeast Army all the way across the Yangtze River.

But as soon as this argument was put forward, it was immediately rejected.

You can't afford to offend the Japs. As if none of you can afford to offend Jiang Cheng?

He can beat tens of thousands of Kwantung Army just like spinning a top, and it is easy for him to beat any of you.

Get him out of office now?

What if this provokes his anger and he marches all the way to Nanjing under the pretext of "resisting Japan" from the south? Who among you can withstand it?
The above sentence gave these warlords, big and small, a headache.

Yes, apart from other things, the steel torrent composed of planes, artillery, and infantry and tanks is really unstoppable wherever it hits -

Everyone became more and more angry the more they thought about it. What was wrong with this old man Zhang from the Northeast? How could such a crazy guy like Jiang appear right under his nose?

However, just when these warlords were having a headache, someone in the meeting suddenly suggested that if Jiang Cheng was involved with Hong, they would be in big trouble.

This statement made everyone shudder unconsciously.

Yes, he just needs to drive the Japanese out of his territory.

Now a large number of Northeastern troops have entered the pass, and there is a clear sign of a large-scale fight, or even a march south.

"If he really comes, who among you can solve this serious problem?"

At this time, the man at the end of the long table gently raised his hand and touched his shiny head, revealing a bitter smile. (End of this chapter)
