The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 183 So that’s it
For men of the Manchu and Mongolian ethnic groups, the title "Baturu" is the highest honor.

Jiang Cheng defeated him and gave him courtesy.

As a sign of giving him enough face, the man bowed deeply again and then turned around to look at the two brothers who were still on guard but had more doubts on their expressions.

After saying a few words in Mongolian to call them over, he introduced himself to Jiang Cheng: his name was Bayin, the one with the red beard was called Agula, and the other big guy was called Bater.

Seeing that they didn't understand Chinese, Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Ask them if they are willing to follow my Fengtian Army?"

"If you don't want to, get off the guys and you can leave now."

Upon hearing that this Han official was actually willing to release them, Bayin immediately refused and repeatedly said that he was willing to follow the Fengtian Army.

In fact, it was not uncommon to recruit bandits and Mongolian bandits, and no one, including Cai Yuanzong, found it strange.

But Jiang Cheng took in these three Mongolians not just to strengthen his power.

"Brother, take a few brothers with you and go to the mountain village to ask carefully,"

Jiang Cheng licked his lips and said, "Find out about the situation in the village. Also, we must find out about the situation of the Japanese entering the village."

Although he didn't know why he gave such an order, he knew very well that this shrewd brother never did anything useless.

He nodded and called his adjutants Luo Zhengyang and Cai Xiaofei, and led a dozen soldiers to trot into the village;

Jiang Cheng called Bayin and headed in the direction where they had just killed the Japanese squad.

He was a little confused, but since he had already recognized the leader, he followed him obediently.

The women they had just rescued had long disappeared; but the reason Jiang Cheng turned back was because of the Japanese soldiers they had killed.

"Bayin, go up and see if there are any Japanese soldiers you recognize among those who were killed."

Jiang Cheng stepped forward and kicked the clean-stripped bodies of the Japanese soldiers.

The howling mountain wind blew across the area, constantly lifting up the white loincloths, and from time to time you could actually see a few "peanut shells".

Treating him as his master, Bayin immediately stepped forward to take a closer look.

After carefully looking at it for more than ten minutes, he shook his head silently: "I haven't seen it."

Jiang Cheng's face darkened, and he asked again: "The Japanese who just cooperated with you, are they in a cooperative relationship with you?"

Bayin didn't quite understand what "cooperation" meant, but after Jiang Cheng gave a brief explanation, the straightforward man suddenly understood:
Since the Fengtian Army troops arrived, whenever they encountered their companions, they had almost no chance of breaking out.

The gap in numbers and equipment was simply too great, and their supplies were decreasing day by day as they rushed to the Northeast. It was simply too difficult for them to hold on in this cold winter.

So they began to split up into small groups to rob some small villages and towns for replenishment, but they did not expect to be targeted by the Japanese.

"So, the Japanese gave you food and water, gave you guns, and then let you be their vanguards... Ah, what I mean is, they let you follow the route they required and rob things in the mountains?"

Unlike the Mongolian bandits who were everywhere trying to steal things, the Japanese never did anything without reason.

Listening to his gesticulations, an idea suddenly flashed through Jiang Cheng's mind.

"Is it... an exploration team?"

That's right!

After hearing his description of the Japanese people carrying poles and smashing things everywhere, Jiang Cheng reacted instantly.

Japan is a poor place with absolutely no resources, so it has long been coveting the vast land of Northeast China.

As a former soldier in Northeast China, he knew well that the mountainous areas in the east and south of Siping had good geological conditions for mineralization.

Therefore, since the Japanese had gained a foothold here, they not only collected information on senior military officers and geography and hydrology, but also continuously sent exploration teams to patrol the deep mountains and dense forests. What were they looking for?
Iron ore, coal mine, silver mine...even oil, etc.

Information was continuously sent back to the Japanese top brass, which led to the subsequent invasion.

Thinking of the “mass graves” scattered across the three northeastern provinces and even throughout China, Jiang Cheng clenched his fists again.

"Damn it, they can even use rebels and bandits, they are really something!"

After spitting on the ground, Jiang Cheng turned around and called Ye Hai, Bayin and others to go back to the village.

Cai Yuanzong had almost finished asking questions by now, and the two of them exchanged information... Jiang Cheng confirmed his thoughts.

I've been wandering around Siping every day, suffering from the cold. How can it be enough to just fight a few rebel devils?
There was a bit more determination and ferocity in Jiang Cheng's eyes. In their eyes, Japanese scientists who could travel across the ocean to China must be very valuable.

Otherwise, if the battle situation here doesn't show the slightest advantage, that team will flee in a hurry?

"What are you thinking about Feilan? Could there be other rebels nearby..."

Jiang Cheng smiled deeply and said something that Cai Yuanzong didn't understand: "They will come again. We can just sit back and wait for them to come to us."

…………

After resting for two consecutive days in a village called Jinjiagou, the soldiers were treated with great courtesy by the local people because they helped them avoid being looted.

Giving them meat, food and houses to live in, these Northeastern men did not eat and drink for free. They helped the village with work, repaired houses and roads, and made the villagers happy.

However, what was surprising was that two matchmakers in the village came to propose marriage to Jiang Cheng, regardless of the fact that he kept saying he already had a wife.
Anyway, describing his own girl as the reincarnation of Diao Chan and Xi Shi made Jiang Cheng confused.

In order to compete for this heroic young officer, the two of them almost had a fight in the yard.

"Master, Master Jiang!"

Ye Hai rushed in breathlessly and ran towards Jiang Cheng who was watching the fun with a few officers.

"Look! Another group of people is coming!"

"Still, you're coming to our village!"

With a whoosh, the officers quickly changed their expressions to a look of strict alert. Without any orders from Jiang Cheng or Cai Yuanzong, they trotted out to organize the team.

"Let's dress warmly! Take the elderly and children and run to the mountains!"

Jiang Cheng shouted at Browning, and the whole village began to act quickly.

It’s not like peacetime... At this time, no matter the old or the young, they have all spent years in war and chaos and have long been accustomed to living in hiding.

When they heard the words from their "guardian angel", they all got dressed immediately and ran to the back mountain with the help of the soldiers.

Of course, there were also some young men who were given guns and were willing to stand up and surround the village and join the battle.

In less than half an hour, the entire village disappeared without a trace.

The soldiers led by Jiang Cheng were ambushed in the dense forests on the east and west ridges.

The bolts of the guns were pulled to load, and each pair of hateful and vigilant eyes stared at the direction of the mountain:
The first thing that came into view was not the plaster flag, but a group of guys in messy uniforms...

They should be the same as Bayin, Mongolian horse bandits active nearby.

Without saying a word, they rushed straight into the village, and the sound of smashing and destroying things was heard instantly...

"Don't act rashly."
