The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 379 Taking advantage of the situation
Even if one uses his heels to think, one can know that once he and Bao Guiqing start fighting, those small warlords who had previously shouted their loyalty will choose to stay where they are and wait and see what happens.

Of course, there is another purpose for pulling the Heilongjiang Provincial Army all the way to Songyuan to fight...which is to see the reactions of these "surrenderers".

"Hey Feilan, if you say that, I can't respond."

Wang Junshan raised his eyebrows, "By the way, I came here today and brought you a letter."

"The sender split the letter into two... one is for me and the other is for you."

Seeing Jiang Cheng take the letter, Wang Junshan seemed to be afraid that Jiang Cheng didn't understand and added: "It's your father's sworn brother Yang Hongyi - according to seniority, you should call him fourth uncle."

Is it him?

Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up immediately: Jiang's ancestral home was in Jinyang, and later they went to Guandong and became sworn brothers with Hai Rusong and four others; in terms of age, they were Jiang Lanxuan, Hai Rusong, Gao Wensheng, Yang Hongyi...

The Siping garrison commander Du Haisheng, who was killed by Jiang Cheng before, was ranked fifth.

"If I remember correctly, when General Zhu was guarding Heilongjiang, Fourth Uncle was the garrison commander of Suihua! His letter now must be related to the war situation on the front line."

Jiang Cheng smiled, carefully tore open the kraft paper envelope with "Jiang Cheng's personal address" written on it, and pulled out a stack of slightly yellowed letter paper.

Even in the Republic of China, there were still quite a number of people who used brushes... Especially Yang Hongyi, who came from a scholarly family and was good at writing beautiful small calligraphy like plum blossoms.

After quickly browsing through it twice, Jiang Cheng's expression was a little ugly: "This Bao Guiqing, most likely knows the relationship between Fourth Uncle and my family, and has detained him and his family and soldiers in Suihua City under house arrest..."

“This is a letter asking for help!”

Jiang Cheng slammed the stack of papers on the table, but he soon noticed that Bai Junshan looked different. "What's wrong?"

Wang Junshan didn't answer directly, but frowned and asked: "Can I take a look at Fei Lan?"

After getting the nod, he quickly took the pile of papers from the table and said as he looked at it: "This is very strange - the letters to both of us were brought by the same person;"

"It's really strange! Yang Hongyi wrote to me and asked me to take people to ambush near Taonan... I brought the letter with me, and it clearly stated that Bao Yinglin led the main force to Taonan."

Jiang Cheng was startled and snatched the letter from his hand.

After reading it carefully, it is exactly as he said - Yang Hongyi described in detail the number, number of people, approximate configuration and weapons and equipment of the troops led by Bao Yinglin.

But Jiang Cheng soon discovered clues from these two letters.

"Brother Wang, look at these two letters... Although the handwriting looks exactly the same, if you look closely you can tell that they were not written by the same person!"

After hearing this, Wang Junshan compared the two letters and observed them carefully:
Because before Jiang Cheng opened the envelope, he had never seen the handwriting of the other letter - and the contents of the two letters were split, and Wang Junshan didn't even pay attention to the handwriting when he was surprised.

"Look, this letter to me is written in a neat handwriting, with sharp and pointed strokes... It's obviously from my fourth uncle himself;"

"But look at your letter - the plum blossom calligraphy is not difficult to write, but the handwriting is beautiful and soft. If you look closely, you can see the traces of imitation."

Wang Junshan slapped his thigh and gave him a thumbs up: "Good fellow, you are worthy of being Feilan!"

"I can't see the contrast at all... But then again, what did this person do by forging Captain Yang's handwriting?"

Jiang Cheng did not rush to answer him, but turned around and asked Ye Hai to bring the military map of Heilongjiang-Jilin border town.

A large number of scouts were sent out, and they have gained a clear understanding of the situation on the border between the two provinces...

Taonan is close to the Jiangqiao line, and is the closest route for the two provinces to attack each other; Xu Lanzhou's subordinate Cheng Zhixin's nearest assembly area is there. "Damn it, it seems that Captain Yang wrote to you for help, and then was discovered, so the Bao family played a trick on me, intending to trap me to death near Taonan?"

Wang Junshan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

After Yang Hongyi was detained, he wrote a letter for help. When the letter was circulated, it was most likely reported to the police... Then someone sent a forged letter to lure him over?

"Of course not. Since I know that this letter was sent to me through you, I can foresee that there is something special between you and me—"

Jiang Cheng held Yang Hongyi's letter of help in his hand, and his heart began to beat fast. "My fourth uncle also helped intercept the Zongshe Party's equipment... He is in trouble now, how can I just stand by and watch?"

He rubbed his hands and paced slowly in the governor's large office, and soon met Wang Junshan's slightly nervous gaze:

"Since they are using a trick on us, then why don't we use the same trick on them as well!"

"Haha, we have to let the old Bao family have a taste of what it feels like to give someone a taste of their own medicine."

…………

That night, Wang Junshan's entire regiment broke camp and assembled and set off in the direction of Taonan.

Although it is almost the third month of the lunar calendar and the spring breeze is blowing in Shanhaiguan, the nights in Jilin are still so cold that water freezes into ice.

Before the soldiers of the regiment had time to complain, Wang Junshan's communications soldier had received an extremely dissatisfied telegram from Wu Junsheng, asking him why he left the base without receiving orders.

"Don't answer. Tell the signalman to turn off all the transceivers!"

Wang Junshan, who was riding on a horse, crumpled up the telegram and threw it directly into the ditch on the side of the road.

It was already two hours later than the time agreed with Jiang Cheng... His base was not close to Taonan, but it was much closer than Changchun;

He had probably calculated the time and believed that they would be able to reach the designated "ambush location" according to the forged letter before dawn.

Regardless, my heart still started beating fast:

Similar to Jin Yanxi, he was also marginalized under Wu Junsheng because he was close to Jiang Cheng.

Over the past year or so, not only have his troops and equipment not increased, but his territory has become increasingly smaller... Otherwise, the two of them would not have thought of abandoning their old master.

But now that he has secretly surrendered to the Jilin Governor, this is all he has. If he is besieged by the Bao family, and Jiang doesn't come to rescue him, he,

His mind was in a mess as he was thinking about these things, but he was suddenly brought back to his thoughts by a strange feeling.

This feeling is all too familiar to him, a soldier who has been fighting for years!
What happened?
Before reaching the designated location...

Before he even had time to figure out where this feeling came from, Wang Junshan heard a few strange "whoosh" and "whoosh" noises!

"Be careful, it's..."

He didn't even have time to finish the second half of the sentence when there was a sudden flash of light and explosion in the team. The flames that shot up into the sky knocked over countless soldiers who were marching.

"Disperse, brothers, disperse!"
