The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 178 Hidden secrets
But Cui Yinggui was an old friend of Jiang Lanxuan and had benefited from the Jiang family. In addition to wanting to protect Jiang Cheng, he also wanted to promote him to some extent. He immediately gave a wry smile:

"Hey, Master, what are you looking at me for?"

"What kind of knowledge do I have? Everyone knows this, but you don't. Ahem... I also heard from Fei Lan that although the Mongolians are tall and strong, they have long bodies and short legs."

"Also, I have calluses on the inside of my legs and hands from horseback hunting!"

Jiang Cheng took over the conversation softly and said, "As for the devils, they are generally smaller in size. Also, because they wear clogs all year round, their foot shapes and toes are different."

Wu Junsheng was startled, and suddenly remembered that Marshal Zhang had encountered a bomb attack at Xiaoxi Gate before, and this guy and Zhao Xishun killed several people:
The big toe is separate from the other toes.

"Just finish what you mean."

Even with Wu Junsheng's cunning and shrewdness, he gradually felt that there was something strange about this matter and asked with a frown.

"Second Master, you sent me and Commander Cui to investigate in the grove, and the traces we found... led us to mistakenly believe that they were Japanese troops active near Siping,"

"But now, judging from the battle formation and the corpses left behind, this group of people are Han and Mongolian bandits!"

Wu Junsheng licked his lips, paced twice with the whip behind his back, and seemed to be lost in a stalemate of thought.

To be honest, he really thought these people were the devils at first.

The weapons and equipment are too similar to theirs, but as the brat said, whether in terms of combat quality or some characteristics, they are completely different from the Japs.
Especially after daybreak, the messy clothes of these people were completely exposed in front of them.

"But if they were not the Japs, where did their guns and cannons come from? Where did the iron gada that the Japanese eat come from?"

Wu Junsheng shuddered suddenly after mumbling to himself, "Could it be that the Japanese in Siping are similar to those in Xinmin and Zhengjiatun, secretly supporting the rebel Babuzabu?"

Jiang Cheng lowered his brows and said nothing.

He was probably able to say this because he heard it from the Marshal himself.

Because he had confronted this highest commander many times before, and there were conflicts between the Japanese military and the General Staff.

"Second Master, have you ever thought about this... If there are a lot of non-Mongolians among this group of Mongolian bandits, where did these people come from?"

"Besides, their number is not just a small number, they,"

Before Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Wu Junsheng raised his hand to interrupt him: "Alright Feilan! I understand everything you said..."

"Today,"

At this point, the top officer's expression slightly shrugged, "I'm sorry for making you suffer some injustice today. I apologize to you."

Wow, my boss is actually apologizing to me?

I've known for a long time that this guy is well versed in the art of being thick-skinned and cunning, and has always been able to bend and stretch... Now it seems to be true.

When so many people gave him a way out, Jiang Cheng stood at attention and said, "Second Master, you are embarrassing me! No matter how you punish me, I won't say a word."

Wu Junsheng's expression straightened up a little. At this time, the signalman had contacted Siping garrison officer Du Haisheng.

The troops were ready to go and marched out together - Du Haisheng had already prepared food, drinks and hot wine for them, and as soon as they entered the barracks, the guards lined up on both sides to greet them.

Wu Junsheng and the others were so cold that their faces turned blue. They drank several bowls of hot tea and hot soup after entering the room before they came to their senses.

After briefly reporting the support and the reason for retreating without the troops joining up, Du Haisheng was furious: "That's really what happened!" "We just fought our way back to the camp, and the next thing we saw was a group of Japanese wandering around."

Jiang Cheng's eyebrows twitched, and he exchanged glances with Cai Yuanzong and Cui Yinggui.

On the contrary, Wu Junsheng was the calmest. He waved his hand and smiled calmly, assigned him the garrison mission, and ordered the messengers to gather in Siping immediately.

Before nightfall, the troops that went to Liaoyuan and Zhengjiatun were the first to return.

At this time, Wu Junsheng was leading Wang Junshan, Cui Yinggui, Jiang Cheng, Cai Yuanzong and others to study the battle situation on the map, and constantly cooperated with the information brought back by scouts and patrols to repeatedly correct the location of the rebel assembly on the map.

At this time, Jin Yanxi, a regiment commander under Wu Junsheng, came in and said that he had something important to report.

The troops led by Jin Yanxi were mainly cavalry, with a battalion of cavalry.

They were lightly armed and focused on surprise attacks. They were responsible for suppressing the rebels near Zhengjiatun, but according to reports, their numbers were not large.
Moreover, it seems that they had fought with Feng Delin who was stationed in Zhengjiatun, and were directly beaten into remnants.

At this time, Wu Junsheng and his men were surrounding the map. In fact, they didn't take Lao Jin seriously: after all, it was the regular army fighting the remnants, and it should be a pretty easy battle.

I didn't expect that it would be fine if I didn't look at it, but I was shocked when I did.

This officer in his thirties was in a state of disgrace: his cotton coat was torn, and his face was covered with bruises, black burns and gunpowder.

"What are you doing here?"

Wu Junsheng's stunned voice caused all the generals to turn around, and everyone was dumbfounded by his honor: You know, isn't this kid assigned the simplest task?
How did it become like this...

Seeing everyone's expressions, Jin Yanxi stepped forward reluctantly to report.

The battle had just begun, and their mission to eliminate the enemy was indeed an easy and enjoyable one—

This group of rebels was defeated as soon as they were attacked. Jin Yanxi thought he was going to make a great contribution, so he happily sent troops to pursue them all the way, almost all the way to Shuangliao near the Mongolian border.

However, just when they thought the mission was about to be successfully completed, a team of troops carrying heavy firepower suddenly emerged from behind them.

They withdrew after a round of fire suppression, and the Mongolian bandits they were trying to encircle and suppress also slipped away in the chaos...

Wu Junsheng flew into a rage after hearing this and immediately stepped forward to grab him by the collar: "You are such a show-off, you are such a show-off!"

"I beat you like this in the battle, and you still have the nerve to come back?"

Seeing that he looked like a murderer, Jiang Cheng quickly exchanged glances with Cui Yinggui and Wang Junshan, who stepped forward to persuade him: "Second Master! Please don't be so angry."

"If there really is something going on, let Lao Jin finish what he is saying!"

During their conversation, Jiang Cheng was actually listening:

Wu Junsheng's main force was ambushed, and Jin Yanxi, who went to Zhengjiatun to fight a group of remnant rebels, was also attacked!

coincidence?

At first it sounded like the tactics and timing were exactly the same: all using cover of night to suppress the enemy with firepower;
And the most important thing is that they hit them and then ran away, which clearly meant letting the remaining rebels escape!
"Second Master, if you want to kill me, I won't say no."

Being grabbed by his collar tightly, Jin Yanxi cried, "But we were attacked, I'm afraid, I'm afraid... there's something hidden!"
