The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 206 Beard
Thinking of this, he found a passerby to ask about the location of the carriage and horse shop, and then urged the two to hurry up.

Unexpectedly, I actually met a student soldier in the carriage and horse shop who was also coming into the city looking for a carriage to Jinzhou.

They were also wearing plain clothes and recognized Jiang Cheng at a glance; but they did not reveal their identities to each other. Instead, they made faces and went to discuss the taxi fare.

Jiang Cheng’s guess turned out to be correct.

Guo Maochen dispersed all 205 cadets into different carriages and assigned an officer to lead each team.

Even though the old guy's face is darker than the sole of his shoe, he still left enough escape routes for all the trainees he brought with him.

These officers must have been through many battles, and they must have enough silver and money on them to meet the needs of the cadets.

Jiang Cheng secretly laughed in his heart: Is this the "arrangement" that He Yongqing mentioned before?

What was tested on them was simply their ability to respond quickly when encountering bandits - there was no plan, and it was impossible for them to really risk their lives.

Originally, the talents who had been trained for more than half a year and passed the final assessment would serve in the Fengtian Army in the future. It was because of Guo Maochen that the work was lost or there were casualties.
Even if his superiors don't hold him accountable, his future will definitely be ruined.

After calculating the number of people, Jiang Cheng hired two cars and immediately headed back to the village;

The two groups hit it off and decided to go to Jinzhou together so that they could take care of each other.

Huang Yongan seemed to be very familiar with that group of cadets. He actually trotted over to their carriage and started chatting with them.

"I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to squeeze into this big cart."

Bao Yulin curled his lips and followed his brothers who were also squeezed on the cart with their heads and feet bound.

These young men are usually the top figures in the three northeastern provinces.

I didn't expect that after coming out to study, I would end up looking like a beggar, wrapped in a big coat and a cloth around my head.

"I say, brothers, you better keep your mouth shut when you return to Fengtian. You can't spread this embarrassing thing around."

Xue Cheng sighed with an embarrassed look on his face, "Especially those sisters in my family, they are not enough to make fun of us!"

Zhang Hanqing punched him back: "Just keep your mouth shut, you always blurt out whatever you want."

A few of them laughed and started pushing and fighting each other. Jiang Cheng was thinking about his next course of action.

There was still more than a day left until the scheduled gathering time, and even if they took the cart quickly it would take them half a day.

After arriving in Jinzhou, we went straight to Zhang Jinghui to arrange for military vehicles, and it would take about several hours to get to Shanhaiguan.

The meeting place set by Guo Maochen was not at the entrance to Shanhaiguan, but near a wooded area deep in the mountain road.

Although we still don't know why he made such an arrangement, this devil always has a purpose in his actions -

And most importantly: if they continue at their current speed, time will be very tight...

"Feilan, we have to find a doctor when we get to Jinzhou."

Hai Pingchuan's whisper interrupted Jiang Cheng's thoughts, "Yucheng, you seem to be sick!"

Jiang Cheng was immediately startled and turned around to look at Yang Yucheng who was squeezed between him and Cai Yuanming:

His face was livid and his expression was listless, but his eyes were red and purple, obviously with a fever.

"I'm fine. I probably just caught a cold last night."

Yang Yucheng said calmly, "Don't delay everyone's gathering time because of me..."

Jiang Cheng frowned and didn't say anything, but Hai Pingchuan became anxious: "Stop talking nonsense, we are brothers, how can we leave you alone? When we arrived in Jinzhou," he hadn't finished speaking when he heard a gunshot suddenly from the narrow road!
"careful!"

After all, they were cadets who had undergone rigorous training. The young people who had been huddled together to chat and gossip suddenly changed into cold expressions as if they were ready for battle.

Without any orders or warnings, everyone jumped out of the car almost at the same time and looked for cover. Then, they saw a disorganized group of people rushing out from not far away on the road.

beard?

Jiang Cheng immediately pulled out Browning, then looked to the other side of the road——

Sure enough, there were people following closely behind him, holding weapons of different configurations in their hands. Some of them didn't even have a gun, but just a shiny big knife.

"Ah."

Jiang Cheng smiled awkwardly, what a shabby bandit.

During the Republic of China period, bandits were rampant, and they were even more rampant outside the Great Wall: they often grew big beards and robbed houses...so they were called "beards".

The drivers were already scared to death and kept shouting "Great King, spare our lives!" But the annoyed bandits fired a shot into the air again: "Shut up!"

They are not strictly trained military horses. How can rural animals withstand such a shock?
The coachman neighed and tried to run away, but the driver held on to it tremblingly and did not dare to say anything.

"Where did you make your fortune?"

The bearded leader smiled slyly, "We are serious businessmen, and we will never do anything that would harm our lives—"

"Hey, just give us the money..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Cheng and Zhang Hanqing exchanged glances with their brothers, and the counterattack began.

Last night's battle served as a warm-up for everyone, and this time the coordination was so tacit that it was seamless.

Jiang Cheng shot the leader in the head. At such a distance and with the bullet hitting him right between the eyebrows, a big hole was blown out in the back of his head.

Flesh, bones and brain matter were blasted all over the bodies and faces of the two people around him as if they were blown away by a small bomb.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that these bearded men usually look like ferocious monsters, but few of them are really capable of fighting and killing and have good psychological qualities.

In the first round of the chaotic battle, six were killed by the sudden attack of the cadets. Then both sides paused for a short while and each sought shelter.

Jiang Cheng kicked the stunned driver beside him into the ditch on the side of the road, then rolled sideways and stood up diagonally along the cart. Two bullets almost passed by his back.

"Kill them to death!"

Someone shouted, and the bandits attacking from both sides began to fire like crazy:
After all, this place is the bandits' home ground, and they have measures to deal with such a counterattack. The big rocks and thick tree roots on the roadside are concealment prepared in advance.

"plain!"

Jiang Cheng shouted, and the brother who was already familiar with his fighting style immediately agreed, and then called Cai Yuanming and Huang Yongan to go around from one side;
The bandits behind him began to slowly approach. Zhang Fushan yelled, picked up a knife, and fought with them for his life.

Seeing that he was so desperate, Sun Zhengnan quickly called Guo Xipeng to rush forward and start close combat.

"Fuck, you're really risking your life!"

Jiang Cheng looked back. He never expected that Sun Zhengnan would lead those unarmed cadets to charge towards the bandits with machetes.

The chaos began, and the attack from the other side was completely suppressed because Hai Pingchuan and others went around from behind.
