The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 375: Uneasy Situation
"She...still goes to church?"

Jiang Cheng was shocked.

Only then did he realize that he had not paid attention to Cai Chanjuan's affairs for a long time.

"Xiaojuan always says that she can find peace in the church—"

As if noticing Jiang Cheng's increasingly bad expression, Hai Huixin immediately changed the subject without leaving any trace, "Master, what about Chengye? There are so many things to do in the mansion... I wanted to take care of him myself, but I'm always feeling unwell, and I'm afraid I can't take good care of him!"

"I've been thinking about it. Chengye and Shengshi are about the same age, and Cuinier is also very good at taking care of the children. I think I should let her move in from the Lower Court, clean up a room in my side room, and find a suitable maid to raise the two children together."

Ye Hai raised his head and looked over when he heard this: He is now also in charge of the guards, and his wife Cui Ni is also considered half the master in the mansion. She doesn't have to do any work on weekdays, and she has a separate room in the lower house... But if he really wants to take over the western-style building, then...
"Okay, you'll be in charge of the family affairs."

Jiang Cheng waved his hand quickly. There were plenty of rooms in the western-style building. Right now, during the confrontation between Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces, he had a lot of things to deal with, big and small. He also trusted Hai Huixin with these matters.

After talking for a while, Hai Pingchuan also came back.

Recently, he has been busy preparing for battle at the front line, and has returned home less often than Jiang Cheng;

Hearing that the boss was also at home, he ran up to report:

It turned out that Wu Junsheng was passive and unwilling to fight. Especially when he saw that their local Jilin troops were advancing, he withdrew all the troops originally distributed on the border line and began to move towards the eastern cities along Jilin Prefecture.

"I can see that the old man is afraid that we can't beat the Bao family, so he is making preparations to prevent it."

Jiang Cheng sneered.

It seems that Wu Junsheng also guessed that the old ghost Bao Guiqing had the support of the Japanese... Wu must be afraid of being defeated on all fronts, so it is better to withdraw to preserve strength;
By then, the commander will surely lead his troops north. Wouldn't it be better for him to go out and play when the situation is favorable?

And assuming that Marshal's combat focus is in the interior, and he intends to deal with Old Duan first before heading north to Jilin, then Old Wu and his son are stationed in the southeastern part of Jilin, and they are also a sharp sword that can be unsheathed at any time!
"It's really fucking interesting."

Jiang Cheng sneered, "The Wu guy really knows how to deal with the current situation. No wonder..."

No wonder he had always been the “evergreen” of the Fengtian Army before he ascended to heaven with the Marshal in Huanggutun.

"Feilan, what should we do? The scouts at the front reported that the number of troops from Heilongjiang alone is no less than 20,000... In addition, the Russian troops that entered from Heihe were also 'taken in' by Bao Guiqing——"

Hai Pingchuan was worried. "I roughly calculated that even if we add the newly reorganized troops, our number is only half of the Heilongjiang Province army..."

"Even if our weapons are more advanced and the new army is capable of fighting, if a fight really breaks out, we will be outnumbered and both sides will suffer losses. By then,"

He didn't say anything else, but Jiang Cheng knew what he was going to say:
Wu Junsheng seems to be trying to reap the benefits...but how should he fight the war?
"I understand what our commander-in-chief means. If I can't defend my own territory, it will be meaningless for me to be the agent."

Jiang Cheng smiled calmly and said, "I have already met Mr. Feng San... The cooperation has been reached. We have at least an 80% chance of winning this battle."

what?
Hai Pingchuan opened his mouth, but couldn't help asking, "Are you planning to ask Feng Delin to persuade Master Wu?"

"How could he possibly listen?"

Jiang Cheng laughed and patted his confidant on the shoulder: "Brother, I have to say that you are too honest... But you are not wrong. How can Mr. Feng San be persuaded? Haha!"

This completely confused Hai Pingchuan, but Jiang Cheng smiled again: "Come on, you must be exhausted from preparing for the battle these days, right?"

"Hurry back to your room, take a shower and have some private conversation with Xiaoying... You as a man are even more irresponsible than me, so hurry up and give birth to a child for yourself!" This rough and sturdy man blushed when he said that, and he scratched his head, said goodbye and ran upstairs.

The next morning, Cai Chanjuan's body was carried by the guard regiment to St. John's Church, where the bishop presided over the burial ceremony.

Jiang Cheng accompanied her throughout the whole process in a black suit - he could not say that he loved Cai Chanjuan deeply, but he was definitely not without feelings for her;

Especially since this woman fulfilled her promise to "protect herself" with her life at the last moment, Jiang Cheng was deeply moved.

When the last pile of soil was covered, the soldiers of the Guards Regiment fired their guns and presented flowers. Yu Fengzhi, who came with him, stepped forward and gently patted his elbow: "Feilan, it's over... don't be like this."

Jiang Cheng came back to his senses and realized that he was still crying uncontrollably.

Sighing silently, Jiang Cheng wiped away the tears from his cheeks without leaving a trace.

"Shall we go back?"

The two female members of the family did not show up, so Zhang Tinghui and Cao Shiying brought some maids to see them off.

Jiang Cheng didn't say anything, but walked forward slowly and gently touched the newly erected white cross.

In fact, even Yu Fengzhi could see that this young general had grown up overnight, and his last gentleness and approachability were gone with Cai Chanjuan... This can be seen from his current decisive, resolute and clear-headed actions.

After leaving the church cemetery in silence, Jiang Cheng suddenly called out to Yu Fengzhi, "Sister, you didn't come to Jilin just because of Master Shuai's order, did you?"

Snapped.

The leather shoes made a crisp sound on the ground, and Yu Fengzhi stopped immediately.

She turned around in a daze, but she quickly recovered from the momentary distraction: "I don't understand what you are saying--"

"Why, if it wasn't because of my father-in-law's order, would I still be after you, Jiang Feilan?"

At this time, the women had already walked far away, and they were the only two left in the huge church aisle. Outside the carved fence on one side was a white square, and flocks of pigeons were circling and landing.

"Big sister, are you still deceiving me? Fei Lan's ears are not idle either!"

At that time, Xiao Zhang was leading the guard brigade to suppress bandits everywhere - but the real commander on the front line was Guo Songling, and the soldiers under him were fighting, and he had an unclear relationship with Gu Ruiyu.

"What are you talking about again?"

Her words were blunt, but there was already a hint of grievance between her brows; her next words were even inexplicably indignant, "Are all you men... like this?"

What are they all?
Jiang Cheng almost blurted out the words, but looking back at this beautiful face that was increasingly aggrieved and almost about to cry, Jiang Cheng sighed again: "Sister, are you saying this to resent Han Qing?"

She didn't answer, but her tears already told the answer.

"I have many sisters and children here."

Jiang Cheng stepped forward and handed over the handkerchief that Cai Chanjuan had left for him. "If you are unhappy, stay for a few more days. It's good to check on the business and scold the old man, isn't it?"
