The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 261 Old Friends Again

Du Haisheng was shocked.

But Jiang Cheng and Guo Maochen sneered at the same time.

"Do you believe it now?"

The commander-in-chief looked calm, but his tone was extremely sinister, "Prepare for battle immediately, Captain Du!"

Du Haisheng turned around and stared at him coldly. Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Fifth Uncle, to be honest, I'm not worried about the Japanese... The devils at the train station are not coming for us."

"I'm afraid that the Jilin army and the Mongolian bandits who have not yet been completely eliminated will come to Siping to take advantage of the situation!"

Du Haisheng and Li Zhenyuan were silent.

"So...you cadets?"

Facing Du Haisheng's question, Guo Maochen immediately responded: "All the first-term students of the Military Academy will be led by me to join the battle to defend Siping!"

…………

He said "join the war", but can Du Haisheng really get these guys to join the battle?
Not to mention the Zhang Hanqing brothers, Bao Yulin, Wu Taixun and others must all be protected.

The order to prepare for battle was issued. Although the trainees had a strong will to fight, Du Haisheng, the garrison officer, still put them in the second echelon.

However, he also knew that as a top student of the first class of the Military Academy and a close confidant of the Marshal—

Of course, there have been rumors that Jiang Cheng, who has been promoted to regiment commander, will be promoted to garrison commander of Siping once he graduates.

So when Guo Maochen led the cadets to prepare for battle, Du Haisheng pulled him into his office and actually had a conversation with him in the form of a handover:

"Feilan, I only took over Siping in March last year, and I have just gained a firm foothold."

"Last year, in addition to clearing out the hostile forces in the city, Siping also cooperated with Commander Wu in the anti-bandit operation... Therefore, the replenishment of troops and equipment investment still mainly relied on the support of Fengtian."

"Now let me tell you the details: there are more than 870 people in the regiment, and there are nearly 300 unorganized security teams in the city; there are more than 300 war horses...but because the weapons and equipment were seized by the Japanese last time, the equipment and ammunition from above have not been delivered."

"Siping doesn't have enough weapons or, ahem, supplies."

Jiang Cheng was very clear about the Marshal's future arrangements, but Du Haisheng was his elder after all, so he had not made this matter clear before.

Now that the other party has taken the initiative to hand over the task, apart from facing an emergency situation, I think he has also accepted the future arrangements.

Jiang Cheng thought about it and did not refuse. Instead, he asked Li Zhenyuan to spread out the map, and then asked him to call Hai Pingchuan, Cai Yuanming and Yang Yucheng to discuss the situation of the garrison in the city with him.

Damn it, not only can they not form a team, but their equipment is also insufficient - if Meng Enyuan really wants to beat Siping, the disparity in strength will surely make them suffer.

"Fortunately, I robbed the Japs at Liutiao Lake and brought back a lot of ammunition and weapons! Otherwise, this battle would have been difficult to fight."

Jiang Cheng used his fingernails to scrape away the sweat on his head. At this moment, Hai Pingchuan and others also arrived. "Where are Maochen and his men deployed? Are they guarding the Great West Gate as we agreed?"

Cai Yuanming answered loudly: "Of course! With the firepower of our cadets, anyone who dares to attack the Great West Gate will be defeated."

"Feilan, why did you call us here? Can the Japanese really come to Siping? Aren't they going to Zhengjiatun?"

Jiang Cheng waved to the three of them to come to the map: "The battle at Zhengjiatun is inevitable..." "We can't fucking care about him. Not to mention that the handsome man doesn't plan to save him now, even if some buddy wants to help him, we will never reach out to Zhengjiatun."

"The most important thing now is that the Japanese are heading towards Zhengjiatun, and we can't let those who are trying to take advantage of us get their eyes on Siping—"

"In addition to the city defense, we have to keep an eye on the movements of the Japanese at the train station. In addition, we have to keep in touch with Xu Yantang in Liaoyuan at all times. If the Jilin army attacks here, we will fight them to death and report to Commander Wu immediately!"

After saying this, Jiang Cheng said to Du Haisheng, "Fifth Uncle, in your name, please ask the people nearby - just say that Zhengjiatun is in danger and Siping may have a change! You will draft the specific content."

Du Haisheng nodded in agreement, but just as he called the messenger over, Zhang Fushan ran in breathlessly:
"Feilan! Guizi Guo asked me to tell you that the brothers who were scattered out found that someone from Zhengjiatun was rushing towards us!"

"We cadets are all ready. Let me ask you about the situation here..."

what! ?

Aren’t all the troops stationed near Zhengjiatun his 28th Division led by Feng Delin?
Are there any other people around besides the Japanese?

This morning, the Kwantung Military Governor's Office sent telegrams to various parts of Fengtian Province, asking them to send troops using the Zhengjiatun incident as an excuse... Have their goals changed again?
Jiang Cheng was quite surprised: "Please tell me clearly, are you a devil?"

Zhang Fushan shook his head repeatedly: "No! It's the 55th Brigade, Zhang Haipeng!"

Not only Jiang Cheng, but everyone present was shocked.

The dead hemp seed is an old friend.

When we sent troops to Lianyungang to seize equipment, we robbed his warehouses when we passed through Jinzhou.
Later, during the last study tour, Zhang Damazi wanted to take advantage of the time when they were cleaning up Goubangzi to attack Jinzhou, but he didn't expect to be tricked by Guo Maochen again.

Now that Damazi could no longer stay in Jinzhou, he wanted to use Zhengjiatun as a big tree to search for some land nearby.

Unexpectedly, before they could even get comfortable in their seats, the Japanese and Feng Delin had already overturned their car and were about to rob Zhengjiatun.

"Great! This big guy really changes his attitude according to the situation. When he saw that his superior was in trouble, he immediately tried to find a way to escape, and even set his sights on our Siping."

Sarcasm aside, Jiang Cheng knew what was going on:
From the previous events in Xiangshuitun and Goubangzi, it can be seen that Damazi has the support of the Japanese, and the old bastard’s combat effectiveness is not necessarily low.

"Fushan, please tell Maochen. I know what's going on."

Jiang Cheng nodded, watched him leave quickly, and said, "Hurry up and tell Brother Wang."

"Also, Dapingzhuang, Xiyingchang, and our horse farm, send reinforcements here!"

"We have to fight this battle well."

…………

Just as Siping was preparing to deal with the approaching Zhang Haipeng's troops, the scouts sent out informed that this troop, which was preparing to take advantage of the situation, had stopped more than ten kilometers away from Siping.

In addition, the Japanese army led by Minamoto no Yoshihei at Siping Railway Station gathered with various parties and began to attack Zhengjiatun.

However, what Feng Delin had not expected was that after he sent out his telegram for help, no matter whether it was his old buddies Wu Junsheng or Sun Liechen, they were all silent and no one was willing to come to support him!
While Feng Delin was beating his chest and stamping his feet, Jiang Cheng, who was in Siping, also clearly saw the true faces of these Fengtian warlords.
