The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 174 Siping
These Mongolian bandits and the Zongli Socialist Party that escaped from the interior all wanted to divide up the Northeast. They initially held secret talks in his hometown of Xinmin, and then they also sought support from the Japanese military.

Of course, it was discovered afterwards that their "support" was also grudging. Take the batch of equipment they carried out the sneak attack for example, they didn't even have enough bullets.

The "support" of the little devils was searched and searched, and Babuzabu and the Zongshe Party also used each other and kept their own tricks.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the successive riots were suppressed by the Marshal.

But Cai Yuanzong was quite shocked: the Mongolian bandits were definitely the "old enemies" of his Cai family. They attacked Daping Village and took away the women in his family. If he was not his brother-in-law, he would have been doomed to be a bastard.

While the two were thinking about it, Wu Junsheng had already started issuing tasks.

Although Cai Yuanzong's organization was a battalion, after reorganizing and incorporating troops, the actual number of soldiers was no less than two regiments;
In addition to the troops left behind in the territory, Cai Yuanzong also brought a full regiment of troops.

When Wu Junsheng heard his report, his eyes lit up immediately. He obviously didn't expect the two brats to be so rich. He immediately ordered them to go to Siping with his main force to jointly attack Babuzab's main force.

The rest of the troops followed the line between Fengtian and Jilin provinces, attacking the rebels who attempted to gather in Siping.

The reason for this arrangement was that the number of Fengtian troops led by Wu Junsheng far exceeded that of the rebels.

And the most important point is that these rebels who were rioting everywhere were suppressed by the garrisons in various places, and they were truly defeated.

The reason why they gathered in Siping was that Wu Junsheng and his staff believed that these Mongolian bandits, unwilling to accept defeat, were determined to make a last-ditch effort.

Is it really that simple?

Jiang Cheng always felt that something was wrong, but he never expressed his opinion, his eyes were always fixed on the sand table——

The sudden gathering of these rebels is really strange, and why are they going to Siping?
Wait a minute, could it be related to the Japanese again?

The South Manchuria Railway passes through Siping, and there is a station and a garrison...

Could it be that the Japanese military was unwilling to accept its repeated defeats and once again joined forces with the Mongolian bandits and the Zongli Socialist Party?
Jiang Cheng opened his mouth to make a suggestion, but Wu Junsheng yelled and started to set off.

Cai Yuanzong grabbed him and said, "Alright Feilan, no matter what you want to say, just keep silent..."

"Although Commander Wu is polite and easygoing to us in front of the commander, he is famous for being tyrannical when leading the troops. He once shot a member of the artillery battalion."

Jiang Cheng nodded silently, and took Ye Hai and followed Cai Yuanzong closely on horseback.

Judging from some records in later generations, Cai Yuanzong's analysis of Wu Dashetou was still a little conservative.

Therefore, for the time being, the only option is to follow the main force... at worst, we can just improvise.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered that Siping garrison commander Du Haisheng, like Gao Wensheng and Hai Rushong, were sworn brothers.

The entire army set out with the main force in a great momentum, marching towards Siping at a rapid speed.

After passing Kaiyuan, Wu Junsheng ordered the various troops to disperse and head to various places to intercept and block the rebel troops heading to Siping to gather.

"Attacking from all sides is a taboo in military strategy."

Jiang Cheng held the reins tightly with both hands and muttered silently. In his opinion, the best strategy would be to gather at Siping, work together to stop Babuzab first, and then clean up these remnants along the way.

When he said this, even Cai Yuanzong, who was closest to him, didn't hear it. The cold wind had already turned the snowy field in front of him into a "white wind"...

No matter how the cavalry and infantry covered their heads and bound their feet, how could they hear any sound amid the whistling roar?

It was already dusk when we arrived at Siping, and the extremely low temperature had made everyone's hands and feet numb;
Jiang Cheng even felt that he had already become a piece of frozen human meat. The only sense left among his five senses was vision, which was gradually becoming farther and smaller... However, at this moment, the scouts sent by Wu Junsheng turned back on horseback and reported loudly that they had found traces of a large number of people and horses in the woods about ten miles southeast of here.

Upon hearing the letter, the generals, including Wu Junsheng, were also surprised.

"Explore again and report again! Find out the approximate number of people and the scope of the activity!"

With a wave of his hand, Wu Junsheng asked them to continue exploring, and immediately ordered them to rest in the nearest sheltered place.

The soldiers were already frozen, and this order was simply too touching.

The entire army rushed up and found a gentle slope that was sheltered from the wind. The soldiers immediately dug a pit and lit a fire to keep warm...

Although Jiang Cheng served as a soldier in the Heilongjiang border for two years and it was common for him to suffer the cold in winter with a military dog, it was not until he traveled through time to the Republic of China that he truly experienced what it meant to "warm up by the fire with a cool back."

I couldn't help but complain secretly, and someone patted my shoulder twice.

The frozen body made the feeling a little numb, Jiang Cheng and Cai Yuanzong turned around at the same time: it was Cui Yinggui, the cavalry commander under Wu Junsheng.

"Hey, you two are frozen, right? Come on, have a bite!"

Jiang Cheng remembered him: his ancestral home was Xinmin, and he had studied in a private school with his father in his early years. Later, he went to Liaoyuan to serve as a soldier and was one of Wu Junsheng's trusted and beloved generals.

"Isn't this Uncle Gui? We haven't seen each other for two or three years!"

Jiang Cheng took the leather bag pot handed to him with a smile, and drank two or three mouthfuls of the hot liquor. His body immediately melted gradually like ice under fire.

He handed it to Cai Yuanzong beside him and said, "I heard that you have expanded the cavalry regiment and become the commander. You have thousands of Mongolian horses, which is really enviable!"

Cui Yinggui shook his head and smiled: "You look down on me, don't you? Am I as rich as your father? Looking at the entire Fengtian Province, who else could be the most glorious commander under Yu Shuai but Jiang Jingyan?"

He cautiously glanced at Wu Junsheng in the distance. Seeing that he was using a map with flashlights to confirm the location with several of his men, he turned around and said quickly:

"Uncle Gui, if you don't want to cheat my father, don't say this again!"

Cui Yinggui said nonchalantly, "Cut it out! You and your father are simply the same... But I'm telling you, your Jiang family frequently shows up in front of Master Shuai, but some people don't like it anymore."

He lowered his voice when he said this, "I'm afraid our Chief of Staff and Xiao Xu have slandered you and your son behind your back."

No way?
Yang Yuting could understand why Xu Shuzheng was slandering them to Shuai Ye.

His face suddenly turned stern, and Jiang Cheng lowered his voice: "Who told you that?"

Given his status, neither Marshal Zhang nor Wu Junsheng could talk to him directly.

"Jiang Chaoliu, do you know him?"

Cui Yinggui winked and said, "Hey, you don't know yet, do you? Jinghui is my daughter!"

He immediately remembered that Jiang Dengxuan had thanked him on the phone last time for "providing a home for himself and Jinghui" - it turned out that his wife was actually Cui Yinggui's daughter!
"What I'm saying is, we have to thank you, Feilan..."
