The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 252 Zhengjiatun

Although in a strict sense, these student soldiers are not considered to be regular troops, but their neatly-organized equipment and uniforms, as well as their spirited spirits, are enough to make even the most vicious bandits dare not even think of them.

Ever since they went to Jinzhou for actual combat last time, Guo Maochen's overly tight schedule for the trip had put their entire team on edge;

Especially this time, they are heading to Fengtian and Jilin provinces where many forces are intertwined... All the trainees are under extreme pressure, and everyone feels like a huge rock is pressing on their heart, and they are extremely alert.

But the journey was calm, and coupled with the beautiful summer scenery in the Northeast, everyone actually felt like they were out to relax and have fun. Even Guo Maochen, who usually had a stern face, relaxed a little.

After marching northward for five days, they did not stay in Siping for a long time, but went straight to Zhengjiatun, located at the junction of Mongolia, Jilin and Fengtian provinces.

Speaking of Zhengjiatun, if someone does not understand history and geography, they would think it is a small town like Dapingzhuang.

In fact, Zhengjiatun is an ancient city with a long history. In addition to being a strategic location at the junction of three provinces,
It is also the confluence of the East and West Liaohe Rivers and a key point in the Liaohe River waterway.
Due to the importance of its geographical location, it has always been an important city in the Northeast.

In the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, Zhengjiatun developed into an important town integrating politics, military and commerce; many dignitaries gathered here, built luxurious houses, mansions, temples, etc.

Commercial trade is even more developed, and logistics are smooth... Even the current Marshal's in-laws, Yu Fengzhi's family, the Yu family, are building a mansion in Zhengjiatun.

But before entering the city, Jiang Cheng smelled a strong smell of gunpowder.

In fact, when approaching Siping, the tense atmosphere among the garrisons in various places was particularly obvious.

Wu Junsheng's bandit-suppression army, the standing army in Siping and other places, and even the Japanese devils along the South Manchuria Line... were all fully staffed and equipped with guns, patrolling and guarding their territory.

"Are you afraid that the Meng guy will start a rebellion?"

It makes sense. Jilin's military governor Meng Enyuan knew very well that the Marshal had already firmly established his control over the entire Fengtian Province...

Coupled with the marriage with the governor of Heilongjiang Province, Jilin, sandwiched between the two provinces, was bound to be swallowed up by the policy of "making friends with distant countries and conquering nearby ones".

Meng Enyuan, who also came from the Beiyang faction, had worked hard in the Northeast for many years. How could he just sit there and wait for death?
However, once he started a fire, along Zhengjiatun, Siping, Liaoyuan and other places... there would inevitably be fires everywhere and wars everywhere;

Once the situation gets out of control, someone will take advantage of the situation to loot——

After all, in this chaotic era, whoever grabs the territory first owns it.

The Japanese are no exception.

Jiang Cheng thought to himself as they were entering the city defense of Zhengjiatun:
The turret was equipped with two new machine guns, and the fully armed soldiers guarding the city stood in neat military postures as if pretending to be in a state of posing.

Especially when he learned that there were several wealthy young men among the cadets, as well as the eldest son of their superior Feng Delin, he displayed his most majestic side.

After entering the city, their team of more than 200 people quickly attracted the attention of the people of Zhengjiatun.

After all, they were completely different from the common soldiers in the past. The officers of the Military Academy were young talents carefully selected from various levels, and their appearance and figure were first-class.
In addition, they were trained in a modern military system with a completely new concept, so their mental outlook was naturally different.

Seeing that there were many rich ladies and beautiful young women among the villagers casting passionate glances at them, these young men who usually had little contact with women were all a little distracted.

"Hey, can the devil give us a break later?"

"What's the matter? Are you going to find an old sister for the holiday, or are you planning to invite a young lady?"

Hearing the team whispering again, Guo Maochen turned back impatiently and coughed loudly: "Pay attention to discipline!" The chatting cadets stuck out their tongues and immediately became quiet.

The entire team continued to march through the streets of Zhengjiatun and headed straight for Feng Delin's headquarters.

In fact, on the day they set off, Feng Delin received a reception order issued by Yang Yuting in the name of the General Staff Headquarters.

Reception, a "study tour group" consisting of more than 200 people led by Guo Maochen.

"You're still studying abroad. Are you here to monitor me?"

After cursing at that time, Feng Delin piled up the paper with the telegram and threw it away.

Especially at this time, the consul from Fengtian, Masao Okawa, was coordinating with him, saying things like "The Imperial Army will give Mr. Feng the greatest support" and "You will definitely return to the pinnacle of power in Fengtian" and so on.

However, all this depends on "Mr. Feng, your sincerity."

In fact, even if Okawa didn't say this, Feng Delin was very clear about what these devils meant.

The so-called "sincerity" depends not only on his personal ability, but also on whether he can start a rebellion with their support...

Moreover, he is more capable than any of the unlucky guys he has supported before. He can march all the way into Fengtian City, take Lao Zhang's head, and suppress all his brothers.

Besides the meaning of ability, this "sincerity" also has another meaning:
After getting the help of the Grand Lord, can you, old fellow, bring enough benefits to the military that supports you?

Feng Delin knew very well how greedy these devils were.

So the day after Okawa Masao contacted him, he secretly communicated with Minamoto Yoshihei, a Japanese military officer near Siping, and Matsushita Hideki, the new commander of the Jinping section of the South Manchuria Line, to discuss the issue of building railways.

At that time, there was no railway from Siping to Zhengjiatun. Once the Japanese South Manchuria Railway Company built a new road between the two places.

This means that Japan can start stationing troops in Zhengjiatun under the pretext of protecting the railway.

In addition to these, wherever the Manchurian Railway went, there was bloody plunder: factories, mines, trees, farmland, etc. were all devoured by the devils!
None of this matters.

I'll first use the Japanese to take back the control of Fengtian!
That's what Feng Delin thought, so he had been flirting with the devils recently...

Not only that, in order to demonstrate the capabilities of his troops, Old Feng also made the entire garrison very noisy and acted as if they were ready for battle at any time.

I have to let the ladies see that I, Old Feng, also have some tough teeth!

After all the hassles, he actually forgot about welcoming the student soldiers into the city:
And to Guo Maochen, a "military expert", his showing off of muscles was almost embarrassing.

Although he was well-equipped with sufficient soldiers, especially the group of soldiers who made a fuss when defending the city, Guo Maochen was extremely indifferent.

"What, it's here already?"

Feng Delin suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. The damn guy didn't even say hello before entering the city. He really didn't treat himself as an outsider!
