The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 386: The Front Game
The women laughed happily, and the relaxed atmosphere made Jiang Cheng smile for the first time in a long time.

But to be honest, he couldn't attack the Bao family to death at present, after all, the Marshal's eldest daughter Zhang Shoufang was caught in the middle;

Jiang Cheng remembered that the first thing that happened to her when she traveled through the Republic of China, apart from the assassination of the Marshal by Japanese ronin, was her marriage.

"Of course! Pingchuan is my good brother, how can I treat him badly?"

Jiang Cheng glanced at Cao Shiying with a smile, but then said calmly, "I do intend to promote him, but if Pingchuan is promoted to a higher position, he will be even busier than he is now..."

"We will be apart more often than together in the future, so you can't hate me!"

Cao Shiying was a little woman, how could she be his opponent in terms of speaking and intelligence? She was stunned for a moment, then stamped her feet and said angrily: "Brother Feilan, you are so mean! Do you talk to the sisters like this every day?"

Jiang Cheng was originally in a relaxed mood and was planning to tell a few jokes, but then he suddenly remembered something: "Where's Xue'er? Why can't I see her?"

Hai Huixin then said, "My sister's due date is approaching, and she has been too lazy to sleep lately. Hongxiu is accompanying her in her room right now."

Jiang Cheng hummed and said, "Tell your third sister later to stop going out to do things recently. Let your brother-in-law take care of all the big and small things...you should spend more time with Xue'er when you have time."

Hai Huixin smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll tell my third sister when she comes back; but don't worry, I'm at home-"

With her butler Jiang Cheng around, she was of course extra reassured. As he spoke, Han Ming trotted over and held out a telegram paper, which said it was signed by the Fengtian General Staff Headquarters.

"I'll be back soon... Huixin, ask Tianfuju to send more Erba sauce or something. Agula sent a few yellow sheep, the meat is delicious——"

As he spoke, he took the telegram from Han Ming and walked out. Except for Yang Yucheng and Zhang Fushan who came back with him, the rest of his military attachés were basically at the front line.

It cannot be said that Changchun and Siping are unguarded now, but for the time being he has to supervise all matters, big and small.

"Don't alarm Yu Cheng, he's been exhausted during this period... Let Ye Hai stay home with his wife and children;"

Jiang Cheng got into the car holding the telegram and asked Han Ming to drive straight to the lobby of the government office. Then he lowered his head to read the telegram.

As expected, it was sent by Yang Yuting. The last time the Marshal entered the customs, he was almost killed by Xu Shuzheng. It was this former chief of staff who reported the news.

It was also because of this that the commander-in-chief brought him back to the Fengtian Army and restored him to his original post.

"We won so quickly?"

Staring at the contents of the telegram, Jiang Cheng's expression was solemn.

The Zhili coalition commander-in-chief went south to defeat Lao Duan, which is recorded in great detail in history, but in reality the battle only lasted a few days?

Counting the time it took Sun Liechen and Zhang Jinghui to move camp and march, it only took a little over a month...

"No wonder the Japs have been so quiet lately."

Jiang Cheng muttered to himself, looking up at the rapidly receding street scene outside the window——

War has always been a continuation of politics. After the Zhi and Feng families drove away Lao Duan, Lao Zhang outside the Great Wall officially rose from being "unworthy" to the forefront and became one of the most important armed forces of the Beiyang clique.

Seeing that he has become powerful, the Japanese will definitely understand that the only one who can maintain control of the situation in the Northeast is Zhang Yuting.

The battle to the north will go more and more smoothly... The Japanese will also turn from competing to supporting the Fengtian Army, and the situation in the Northeast will become more and more stable.

The second page of the telegram was about the movements of the Japanese troops on the South Manchuria Railway, which made Jiang Cheng even happier. The war in Europe was drawing to a close, and the Japanese were bound to rush to any place that offered benefits, just like flies smelling a foul stench.

Germany had troops stationed in some areas of Shandong, and these territories were like big pieces of fat meat dripping with oil in the eyes of the Japanese.

If we send out troops to seize territory at this time, we might even be treated as a victorious country.

Although it is definitely not a good thing for the common people in Shandong, with the main force of the Kwantung Army moving south, the Northeast can get a chance to breathe and develop during this period!
At the end of the telegram, Yang Yuting personally advised Jiang Cheng and the Jilin garrison to be careful of the Japanese troops on the North Manchuria Railway.

With most of the General Staff's forces withdrawn, how could these conspirators in the Japanese military not wait for an opportunity to act?

"Interesting. Since this is the military, let's continue to fight."

When Matsushita Hideki went south, the military would definitely try every means to promote the construction of the railway... Yang Yuting's implication was that he should pay attention to the notebook and not give them any opportunity to take advantage of it.

Seeing that the situation was extremely delicate, because in the previous Battle of Kuanchengzi, he had tricked the General Staff Headquarters; from Okawa Masao to Matsushita Hideki and others, they hated him to the extreme - and even joined forces with the Cai family to carry out an assassination.

However, the military, which had always been in competition with them, changed its stance this time: in addition to supporting the Marshal, it would also maintain good relations with warlords in various parts of the Northeast.

Jiang Cheng rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought, and soon he arrived at the office lobby.

The Marshal's commendation order arrived. As expected, in addition to continuing to serve as the acting governor of Jilin, Jiang Cheng also served as the garrison officer of Baicheng, Taonan, Songyuan and other places. It was obvious that he was asked to shift the focus of his work further north to Heilongjiang.

Wu Junsheng, who had been hiding in the front line of Jilin Prefecture, was getting anxious. Seeing that the young acting governor was getting more and more successful in the battle, he not only could not gain any advantage, but was bound to be liquidated by Marshal Zhang as a "war-fearing" leader. So he quickly contacted Jiang Cheng and wanted to fight on the eastern front.

"Isn't it a little late to join the war now?"

Jiang Cheng didn't even bother to call back, he had something very important to do -

Jiang Dengxuan, who was in Dapingzhuang, reported that he and Feng Yong had taken over all the nearby garrisons. The Marshal also gave them the position of brigade commander so that they could gain some experience.

After all, he was under the command of his 29th Division. In addition to giving money, he also wanted to place a trusted aide there.

Who should we send... Jilin is in need of people right now, so it seems that no one is suitable to send.

As he was walking up the stairs, he heard someone calling him loudly from the side of the hall.

Why does it sound like learned voice?

He immediately turned his head and saw this dude. Besides Wu Dongyun and Yu Fengzhi, he also had a lot of luggage following him.

Oh no, this guy is not here to...

Just as this bad thought flashed through his mind, the other party came running up excitedly: "Hey! General Jiang, brother, I'm coming to you!"

Looking at Wu Dongyun and Yu Fengzhi's faces from his side, which were more or less indescribable, Jiang Cheng licked his lips and put on a gentle smile: "Brother Xuecheng! What brings you here?"

Zhang Xuecheng put his arm around his shoulders affectionately: "Why do you feel like you've grown taller? Hey, it's really not nice of you to ignore your brothers and focus on growing taller..."

Knowing that his words were a double entendre, Jiang Cheng hugged him back anyway, exchanged pleasantries, and led him upstairs to his large office.
