The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 215 Swaggering
"You're still speaking for him... The Japanese's clothes don't hold the wind at all. It's really freezing to death if you run out at night."

Seeing him nagging and wanting to continue cursing, Jiang Cheng lifted his leg and nudged his butt with his knee: "Can you shut up? Didn't we discuss this before we came out? You two can't speak Japanese... You're wearing a Japanese army uniform and speaking with a Northeastern accent."

Cai Yuanming stuck out his tongue, smiled, raised his finger to keep quiet, and made an expression to indicate that he was shutting up.

Following Guo Maochen's instructions, they rode out of the city on horseback and sneaked into the Goubangzi railway station. They tied up the horses and hid in an abandoned village, where they took a brief rest.

After patrolling carefully in all directions, they discovered two real Japanese soldiers carrying rifles. They had captured a woman from a nearby village and were planning to drag her into the ruins to do some work, but Hai Pingchuan and Cai Yuanming sneaked up on them and knocked them down with one punch each.

The second thief probably remembered that his own Daping Village was the scene of the explosion that killed many civilians, so he struck too hard and smashed his nose bone completely on his face. No matter how many times he slapped his face or poured water on him, he couldn't be woken up.

He glared at him, then pulled out the knife from his military boots and struck him twice more. Then Jiang Cheng focused all his attention on the other Japanese soldier.

After pulling his belt and whipping him a few times, the poor guy woke up screaming. Jiang Cheng didn't give him any time to react, he grabbed him by the collar and started cursing.

The Japanese were scared to death, especially because of Jiang Cheng's pure Kansai accent and the shining shoulder straps. He thought the bastard was an officer who came down for inspection and found out that he had violated military discipline and followed his companions to leave his post without permission.

In a panic, he blurted out the unit number and the stationing situation of the Railway Protection Army that Jiang Cheng had asked about... and he knelt on the ground in a very Japanese way, sticking out his butt and begging for mercy.

It wasn't until Hai Pingchuan, who was on guard outside, came back and accidentally said something in Chinese that the truth was revealed.

Realizing that he had been tricked, the Japanese soldier cursed "Damn Chinese" and was about to jump up to fight Jiang Cheng to the death, but Cai Yuanming covered his mouth and cut his throat with a knife.

"Okay, there's nothing more to ask."

Seeing that the Japanese soldier was lying on the ground twitching, Jiang Cheng took away his documents and personal belongings through his clothes, wiped his hands clean, straightened his back, and led them to the Japanese territory in a swagger.

The Japanese army's vigilance in 1917 was much weaker than when they launched a full-scale invasion of China... After all, at that time they regarded the Fengtian Army as barbarians, and the gap between them in terms of discipline and weapons was too large. They never thought that there would be Chinese people so bold as to infiltrate the team.

Besides, Jiang Cheng spoke authentic Japanese, and the documents he had on him were all real. Plus, the familiar smell of Japanese soap allayed the devils' doubts.

Don’t be fooled by the seriousness of the outside, the Japanese inside the train station were in chaos.

The Fifth Division established in Hiroshima was relatively afraid of the cold. The nights in Northeast China were still long and cold at that time, so they all huddled together, cursing and playing cards.

They got the train timetables very easily. Just as the three were about to retreat, Jiang Cheng suddenly winked and smiled slyly.

Now that everyone is here, wouldn’t it be a loss if we don’t give the Japanese some trouble?

Jiang Cheng handed the schedule to Cai Yuanming and asked him and Pingchuan to retreat first. He gestured to tell them to wait for him in the abandoned village in the distance.

The two exchanged glances, but chose to trust him and winked at him to be careful.

Taking down the kerosene lamp hanging in the corner, Jiang Cheng swaggered towards the warehouse deep in the platform.

Just now, I accidentally saw the Chinese words "No Entry for Unauthorized Persons" written on it. In addition, there was a sentry standing upright at the door. Jiang Cheng guessed that there must be important supplies stored here.

Seeing the approaching figure, the Japanese soldier, who was already in a trance due to the cold, suddenly felt frightened, but the familiar military uniform made him relax his vigilance.

"This damn weather is terrible! Why do you have to be left alone on duty?"

Jiang Cheng showed the unique arrogance of a deputy Japanese officer and asked slowly. When the Japanese saw Jiang Cheng's rank, although he didn't recognize him as the commander, Jiang Cheng's handsome face and clear pronunciation made the sentry suspect that he was the noble of the Gong family. He quickly stood up and saluted, and then complained to his comrade that he had gone to the bathroom and didn't know why he hadn't come back yet.

"Those bastards from the Fifth Division actually deserted their duty at such an important moment... They have betrayed the Emperor's trust and are not worthy of the status of Imperial Samurai!"

After cursing a few words, he reached into his pocket, determined to reward the sentry who was loyal to his duty.

Seeing that he had actually taken out a pack of cigarettes, the sentry suddenly became excited:

After all, withholding rations was not only a practice of the warlords in the Republic of China, it was also a "fine tradition" of the Japanese devils who rebelled against their superiors.

Just after handing over a cigarette, Jiang Cheng pretended to take out a match, but what he touched was a cold iron object!

With a few pushes and a twist, Jiang Cheng easily put him in a blind corner, then quietly took the key from the corpse and opened the door.

When the kerosene lamp was shone in the direction, there were no guns or ammunition inside. Apart from food, there were only some Japanese cigarettes and alcohol.

"I thought I could burn down the armory, but I miscalculated."

No wonder the guards were so lax. Jiang Cheng curled his lips and threw the kerosene lamp on the sack.

Turning around and locking the door, Jiang Cheng threw the bunch of keys directly into the railway track, then made the arrogant gesture of a Japanese soldier and left straight from the gate.

Before we had walked far, we heard the Japanese soldiers inside the train station shouting and yelling, saying things like "there is a fire, put it out quickly" and so on.

Turning back to take a look, I saw that the granary was already on fire due to the wind and was burning fiercely. Amid the interlaced flames, there was a panicked crowd trying to put out the fire.

Unfortunately, the flames had already spread into a large area, and it was not easy to put them out.

Because of this mischief, Jiang Cheng chuckled twice, and then ran towards the place they had agreed on in advance. The two of them had been waiting there for a long time.

Seeing his happy face, they knew that his sneak attack was successful. The three of them rode back to Jinzhou City and handed the train timetable to Guo Maochen.

The reason for wanting this thing is to divide the relationship between the Goubangzi and the Japanese army.

The Japanese troops on the South Manchuria Railway were all backed by the Japanese military headquarters: they were similar to the idiot Miura who committed suicide before, and their mission was to kill Marshal Zhang and then support other forces.

Therefore, after failing to support a series of forces, they turned their attention to Zhang Damazi in Jinzhou.

But this Zhang Damazi was much more shrewd: after his granary and military equipment were "borrowed" by Jiang Cheng, he also looked for a "spokesperson" to get things from the Japanese.

His "spokesperson" is undoubtedly the Liu family on the Goubangzi side, who have always been unwilling to accept the Marshal's recruitment.

Support them to fight against Zhang Jinghui, and then slowly develop your own power, and sooner or later you will be able to get Jinzhou into your own hands.

Therefore, the people in Goubangzi actually did not have direct contact with the Japanese.
