The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Hearing how angry he was, Zhang Hanqing also became furious.

For so many years outside the Great Wall, he could call the shots. Since the battle at Huanggutun, he had experienced too many unpleasant things and suffered too much anger.
My strength is getting weaker and weaker, and the people around me are becoming more and more disobedient.

He was depressed, but the confrontation between the North and the South directly affected the direction of him and the Northeast Army, so he suppressed his unhappiness and came to discuss with him... This guy actually had such an attitude!

He stood up suddenly, and was about to glare at Fei Lan and say something back, but Zhao Xishun, who had been standing next to him, got anxious and hurried forward to stop him: "Han Qing, Han Qing... If you have something to say, don't get angry with Fei Lan. We have been brothers for so many years, you can't..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Cheng slowly stood up. Zhao Xishun was so anxious that he wanted to turn around and stop Jiang Cheng, but he didn't expect that Jiang Cheng bent down first and put out the cigarette in his hand.

"Brother Xishun, please let him come. I want to see what troubles he plans to commit in Jinan."

Jiang Cheng's voice was calm, but the tone was by no means calm. Even the furious young marshal could hear that there was a storm brewing in his tone, and it seemed that it was about to erupt at any time.

Zhang Hanqing pushed Zhao Xishun aside and took a step towards Jiang Cheng. The anger in his eyes was a bit of a spent force: "Why did I do that? I know that you, Jiang Feilan, are now very capable and look down on your former brothers——"

"I heard that you have made Heilongjiang your own backyard outside the Great Wall. Now, taking advantage of the Japanese chaos, Fengtian Province is also yours, right?"

"Several years ago, Yang Yuting said that you would rebel sooner or later..."

But at this point, he sighed and continued, "But Feilan, I'm not saying this for any reason - I know in my heart, many years ago, when I was in the Military Academy, I knew that I couldn't compare to you. Even my eldest sister looks up to you, not to mention my father."

"I even wondered if he was training you as his successor - instead of me?"

Jiang Cheng wanted to laugh.

But he still shook his head and sighed: "You know clearly who to choose as the heir. You also know why we have come to this point... Hanqing, you are in the interior of the country, you didn't see that the people of Feng Province were suffering from the Japanese devils!"

"They burned, killed and looted along the way, not even sparing the elderly, the weak, women and children - many civilians have been secretly taken away by them. I heard that they were taken away for some inhumane experiments."

"What if we don't fight? Will our country be destroyed? You listened to your ally brother. Isn't it bad enough that you've been cheated? The so-called non-resistance, the so-called waiting for negotiations, the so-called helping you fight back to the Northeast sooner or later, will he really put it into action?"

Having said this, Zhang Hanqing lowered his eyes dejectedly.

Fengtian was where he lived and grew up. Because of his misjudgment and listening to others, he almost destroyed the entire Fengtian province.

"I know, that's why I came to see you."

At this point, he seemed to have made up his mind suddenly, and suddenly looked back at Jiang Cheng, "I plan to unite with the Northwest Army and go to war to persuade them."

Jiang Cheng shuddered suddenly.

Not Wait a minute...

What do you mean? Why do we have to go now?
Subconsciously grasping his slightly trembling shoulders, Jiang Cheng said with a touch of emotion: "You are crazy! After all, he is the person in the highest position. He can easily gather a million people..."

Before he could finish his words, the other party smiled faintly and gently stroked his hands.

"I know, but someone has to do it."

Zhang Hanqing had a gentle smile on his face that even surprised Jiang Cheng. "No one should persuade me this time, because I am the only one who can do this." After he finished speaking, Zhao Xishun stepped forward and said, "Feilan, don't persuade him. We all persuaded him before we came here... It's useless. Hanqing has made up his mind."

Jiang Cheng hesitated to speak.

The day finally came, and he knew that he would not be able to stop them... The Japanese had suffered such a huge setback in Shandong, and both the Kwantung Army and the Japanese troops in Japan were heading south.

The Japanese invaders were landing in Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Zhoushan one after another. Nantong, Wuxi, Suzhou, Jiaxing, and other places were all in trouble. Bad news came almost every day.

Those who had fought against the Japanese army knew very well what kind of combat effectiveness they had... The government troops were definitely no match for them, and unlike North China and other places, the coastal areas of South China were almost indefensible.

Coupled with the Japanese army's equipment and naval advantages, the next target to be endangered may be China, the most prosperous land of fish and rice.

"You can go and talk, but if you feel something is wrong, learn from our handsome master, okay?"

Jiang Cheng added worriedly, "Remember, it's running the ball!"

Zhang Hanqing smiled.

But when that smile faded, the highest commander in the North suddenly opened his arms and gave him a hug...with such force that Jiang Cheng almost suffocated.

"Good brother, I know you can do it—"

In his ear, the other person whispered, "Protect our home for us. I'm entrusting my eldest sister and the others to you!"

Suddenly he let go, turned his face away deliberately, and left quickly with Zhao Xishun.

"Not only the Northeast, but the entire China... I'm optimistic about it."

He was not just saying this to the patriotic general who was about to be imprisoned for half his life.

Jiang Cheng understood that the most glorious heroic moment of his life was about to blossom in Huaqing Pool, like a fleeting brilliant firework.

…………

Just three days after Zhang Hanqing set out, the Northeast Navy reported to Jiang Cheng that the Combined Fleet had almost gone out in full force to launch a fierce attack on the southeast coast.

The entire coastal area was in chaos, and the calls for resistance against Japan were higher than ever before.

But no matter how much the people shouted, the government still wanted the League of Nations to mediate and force the Japanese troops to withdraw... There was even a voice that wanted to "give" Fengtian Province to Japan in order to seek a "peaceful" solution to the issue.

But these Japanese have already arrived, and have gained considerable advantage in this relatively prosperous area of ​​China. How can they withdraw from this vast land just because of mediation by the League of Nations or by "feeding" Fengtian Province?
They wanted the whole of China, and later they even went so crazy as to set their sights on the whole of Asia!
Jiang Cheng stood in front of the front hall of Jinan Haifu with his hands clasped behind his back, staring at the falling clouds and falling into deep thought:
The Japanese offensive could no longer be sustained, but the higher-ups... were still focused on fighting a civil war and carrying out the so-called "suppression of banditry."

If we continue to fight like this, our own people will be beaten to pieces, and we will no longer need the Japs——

"Do you want to reply to that telegram?"

Zhang Tinglan's voice appeared behind him, "I think if we have the support of the Russians, it would be beneficial for us to stand with them." (End of this chapter)
