The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 385 Good News
What he didn't know was that with Sun Liechen and other Fengtian troops entering the pass to fight Lao Duan, Xiao Xu, the Anhui army, under the pincer attack from the Zhili and Fengtian factions, could no longer hold the battle.

In this situation, even the dumbest person can see that Marshal Zhang is the most suitable person to govern the Northeast.

Both the General Staff and the military had planned to abandon other forces in the three northeastern provinces and instead support this powerful warlord who had already become a force to be reckoned with.

So in this situation, they would not send any troops to support the Bao family... Even before the war, Machino sent a batch of ammunition to the Jilin Governor-General under the pretext of personal reasons.

"Captain Yantian, why did you agree to this plan to send troops? I think with your unique vision, you should be able to see that the Governor's Office may take advantage of our southward advance to occupy the territory of the South Manchuria Road, right?"

After it was decided that Hideki Matsushita's troops would fight in Qingdao, the second half of the meeting revolved around strategic goals, tactics, etc.

As soon as the meeting ended, Matsushita and others took a car to the Japanese-controlled territory of Siping - they had to pack their luggage and prepare to head south.

Hearing his subordinate's questioning with a puzzled look on his face, Shiota sneered at him, slowly took off his military cap and said, "The sphere of influence has been planned, what do you have to worry about, Mr. Matsushita?"

Looking back at the increasingly impatient Matsushita Hideki, Shiota Kenji laughed a few times and said, "Matsushita-kun, your ability lies in fighting on the battlefield and making more contributions to the Emperor and the Empire; the political affairs should be left to Machino-kun."

"He has now gone to Zhang Yuting's official residence to discuss the next action plan with him..."

"Don't worry, while you're fighting in the south, we will continue to serve His Majesty the Emperor in the rear!"

His words made Matsushita Hideki feel a little relieved; he thought that they would continue to lobby among the Fengtian clique to build the railway.

However, at this time, Jiang Cheng's army, after a whole day of fierce fighting, had completely broken through the Jiangqiao defense line, and was advancing rapidly along Longjiang and other places, heading towards Qiqihar, the capital of Heilongjiang Province.

The operations on the western front were led by Hai Pingchuan and his son - in addition to their main force, there were also troops such as Ding Chunxi who had just joined the 29th Division.

These people are particularly anxious to make merit, seeing that the acting governor of Jilin has gone straight to Heilongjiang Province and might be officially appointed as the boss of Heilongjiang Province. If they can get more merits before the big reshuffle, they can get more territory and benefits when the "big scales divide the gold" in the future.

With this mentality, the officers were so desperate that they beat the black provincial army to death as if they were their mortal enemies...

In addition, the flat terrain in Songyuan and other places was conducive to large-scale troop operations, and the offensive speed on the Western Front was not much slower than that on the Eastern Front with tanks leading the way.

During the entire battle, no Japanese troops came to harass the North Manchuria Railway...

Even the Japanese who usually love to make trouble were kept silent and just stayed away from their own little piece of land.

The battle on the front line was going smoothly, so Jiang Cheng returned to Changchun with the cooperation of the guard regiment.

Commanding at the front line, taking the British and French businessmen to observe the battle and discuss subsequent cooperation, he and Yang Yucheng were exhausted.

As soon as he returned to the Governor's Mansion, Jiang Cheng went straight upstairs. He didn't even take a shower or wash his clothes. He just lay down in the bed and fell asleep.

He vaguely felt someone approaching on tiptoe. He, who had been on edge for many years, suddenly sat up in shock. He pulled out Browning and realized that he had already arrived home...

When he looked closely, he found it was his eldest wife, Hai Huixin. She was holding a dirty military boot in her hand and looking at him with a terrified look on her face.

"Master...you, what are you saying..." Her stuttering voice made Jiang Cheng hesitate: "What did you call me?"

She used to call him by his courtesy name, but it seemed that after Cai Chanjuan left, her lover started calling him by his honorific title.

"After all, I am the governor of a province. It is not right to call him by his name."

Hai Huixin smiled reluctantly, half-knelt forward, and tried to take off her other boot. Jiang Cheng quickly retracted his legs and hugged her: "You are still pregnant! The child is a small matter. If you get hurt, I can't bear it."

Pulling her to sit beside him and kissing her again and again, Jiang Cheng hugged her and sighed for a long time like a tired bird returning to its nest; Hai Huixin hugged him back and sighed softly: "Master, you really worry about our family!"

"I asked Chunyan to simmer a pot of meat soup. Why don't you drink a bowl of it before going to bed? I've also prepared the bath water. You can take a bath anyway. It will help you feel better."

It has been a long time since he felt so relaxed. He touched Hai Huixin's smiling face and looked down at her slightly bulging belly: "Are you okay? Have you had morning sickness recently? Is everything okay at home? I feel more at ease with you taking care of it."

Hai Huixin answered all of them, but she didn't mention herself. She just said that Jiang Chengye and Ye Shengshi were growing up gradually after their little fights, and Zhang Tingxue would probably give birth at the end of the month.

"Oh, sir, the Marshal's Mansion called yesterday. It was Han Qing who called... He asked me unhappily when I was going to kidnap his young mistress."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Damn, what he said is really outrageous? My wife got so angry that she came to Changchun and ate and drank for free in our house - and she still wanted to take advantage of us!"

Hai Huixin burst out laughing at his amusement: "Master, what are you talking about? But Sister Fengzhi cried after answering the phone... I couldn't find out what happened to her. But in the past few days, she met a lot of people with Third Sister, and said that the business should be able to start."

Jiang Cheng nodded silently.

This elder sister is one of the most virtuous and capable people in the entire Northeast.

It’s a waste of such a good and virtuous wife for that playboy.

"I have to tell my third sister later - Changchun is really not a place for development. All industries should move to Jilin Prefecture."

Jiang Cheng let Hai Huixin undress and take off his socks thoughtfully, then he turned around, put on his pajamas, and took a nice bath...

Just as Jiang Cheng was about to go to bed after a hearty meal, a telegram from the front line arrived.

The Eastern Front Army led by Sun Zhengnan has conquered the last line of defense of the Bao family and is approaching Qiqihar, the capital of Heilongjiang Province;

In addition, Agula led the Mongolian cavalry to defeat the White Russian regiment. These foreigners who were driven out of their homeland by the Soviet army were led by Bao Yinglin and were planning to make achievements...

The Mongolian cavalry fought desperately, but the White Russians who came from afar just wanted to earn a living by gaining military merit. The winner was immediately clear after the two sides fought.
Not only did they all surrender, the leading Russian officer also tied up Bao Yinglin and handed him over.

"Well done!"

Jiang Cheng held the telegram paper and smiled. At this time, the women who heard the victory news from the front line also rushed over. Cao Shiying in particular was very happy: "General Jiang, you said that my Pingchuan has also made great contributions to you, right? Shouldn't he be given a high position as well?"
