The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 396 Let the Japs Pay Back

"This arrangement does make sense, but it's a bit unbecoming of you to live with these old soldiers in the Governor's Mansion."

Gao Wensheng picked up the teacup and said softly, "There are women in the family, and you have placed them upstairs and downstairs... Especially Xue'er is still in confinement after childbirth, can she feel comfortable?"

Jiang Cheng waved his hand and smiled: "It's temporary anyway - the epidemic in the city will be over in five or six days at most;"

"The patients in the camp are slowly recovering... I have asked Huang Yongan to clean up the camp thoroughly, and the brothers are gradually moving back."

"Besides, Changchun is only a temporary place. Once Xue'er is out of confinement, the Governor's Office will have to be moved to the capital. Apart from convenient transportation, Changchun doesn't have many advantages for the time being."

Apart from a small pharmaceutical factory and a thermal power plant that had started production, Jiang Cheng had no plans to invest manpower, material resources, and financial resources in Changchun. Jiang Cheng had already ordered people to transport the large number of equipment purchased by Yan Ziwen to Jilin Prefecture one after another.

"So you've already made plans. No wonder you have so many big boxes here. Have you decided to move?"

While Gao Wensheng was talking, the two Zhang brothers and Huang Yongan and Bayin came in. The old uncle was a little surprised, but Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Uncle has just arrived. I should really arrange a welcoming banquet first..."

"But the battle situation is urgent, so I'll have to trouble you two to go into battle first."

Gao Wensheng's expression suddenly became playful. He turned around and exchanged glances with Li Shitou who was sitting on the side. Li Shitou looked over Gao Wensheng's shoulder and sat upright: "It is my duty, Master!"

"What's the point of welcoming or not? We are all family, so don't be so polite - the master asked us to come here to fight."

Gao Wensheng also expressed his opinion immediately. Jiang Cheng patted the armrest and said "OK", then stood up and said: "This typhoid epidemic was not caused by our own people accidentally... but the Japanese are behind it!"

After he finished speaking, Gao and Li also stood up and said in unison: "Japanese?"

Zhang Tingshu, who had recovered by then, narrated what had happened one by one, including the incident of the Japanese doctor who had hit him with a club.

Li Shitou said in shock: "When I came here, I suspected that it was the Japanese who did it... I didn't expect it to be true!"

Gao Wensheng also frowned: "Brother has mentioned this before. Because the South Manchuria Railway and the Chinese Eastern Railway are going to be connected, the Japanese have been trying to create problems one after another..."

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "While Hideki Matsushita is heading south to Qingdao, these Japanese military brats are naturally trying to stir up trouble."

"When I was in charge of Siping, I secretly asked Wen Shiqing from the Chamber of Commerce to train a group of special agents. After their investigation, they found that the Japanese had brought typhoid bacteria and spread them in the water sources of Changchun and Liufangzi Coal Mine."

"The Japanese even gave it a name, the Dandelion Project. If they can do it, why can't we give it back?"

After describing the situation clearly and concisely, Jiang Cheng began to explain his plan. "Recently, patients in the quarantine area have begun to recover one after another. I asked my eldest brother to arrange for everyone to be discharged from the hospital to have a big celebration and give out 5 kilograms of rice."

"The Japanese have stolen the medicine. They will definitely follow the clue of Bai Mi and find the most powerless person here to kidnap and interrogate him. In addition, the special medicine I am transporting to Liu's house will also be targeted by the Japanese."

Gao Wensheng nodded immediately: "The transportation of supplies to Siping can be left to Lao Li, and the trouble the Japanese are causing... leave that to me."

Jiang Cheng shook his head: "No, according to my nephew, this is what we should do."

…………Li Shitou's troops, who were escorting the special medicine penicillin to Liufangzi, were ambushed by a group of people who came from nowhere not long after they left Changchun.

A fierce battle broke out between the two sides. Although the Fengtian Army fought hard, it had to abandon its supplies and flee in panic because the enemy's firepower was too strong.

The group of troops that stole penicillin were the Japanese troops at Kuanchengzi Station.

Coincidentally, on the day a man left the quarantine area, he was targeted by thugs in Changchun city and followed quietly all the way into the slums.

The man had just lifted up the tattered straw curtain that separated the door, intending to clean up the shack that had become dirty and messy due to his isolation.

Two thugs actually kicked the door open and came in, with vicious smiles on their faces, intending to beat the man up and take him down.

But who would have thought that this seemingly weak and skinny man would suddenly turn around and beat them up with just three punches and a few kicks, leaving them with no choice but to beg for mercy.

It turned out that he was a member of the "Snow Fox" special forces of the 29th Division. Under Jiang Cheng's arrangement, he pretended to be a recovered citizen returning home in order to deceive these people.

After being taken back for interrogation, they were found to be a man named Lin Ping, who paid 500 silver dollars and arranged for the two of them to kidnap people coming out of the quarantine area.

If they bring the dead alive to Anxin Pawnshop in the city, they will get the reward.

That night, martial law was imposed on the streets surrounding Anxin Pawnshop. Zhang Fushan personally led people to arrest all the people working in Anxin Pawnshop, young and old, men, women, and children, and took them back to Changchun Prison.

After going through the hall several times, these unfortunate ones couldn't bear it anymore and started to confess. It was Nakamura Ikki, the owner of Guangjitang in the Japanese-controlled area, who bribed them and "bought" these cured patients in the city for 1000 oceans.

As for what the Japanese were going to do with them when they took them back, they all wailed and said they had no idea.

"Very good. This is considered as passing it on layer by layer. Does it mean it will be half as much after each layer?"

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyebrows and smiled, and then said, "The team that was transporting medicine out of the city has been successfully snatched away by the devils, right?"

Li Shitou, the leader of the team, had returned. When he heard Jiang Cheng's question, he immediately wiped his face and said with a smile, "We'll all follow your instructions, Master. We'll fight together, drop the medicine and run!"

"The Japanese must be very proud of themselves now, as they have taken all the goodies we prepared back to their Kuanchengzi Station, haha!"

Gao Wensheng looked at Li Shitou, who was smiling, and then at Jiang Cheng, who was looking more and more pleased. "What exactly is this 'good thing' you're talking about?"

Jiang Cheng smiled mysteriously and said, "The Japanese caused my coal mine to stop production, and I lost money. People also died because of this epidemic. We have to get some benefits back more or less!"

Japan brought the stolen penicillin back to the Japanese-controlled territory. The highest officer of Kuanchengzi Station, Suzuki Hiroshi, reported to the higher-ups and recaptured a large number of what the Chinese called "miracle drugs."

Typhoid bacteria are a problem in Europe. Where did these inferior ethnic groups get these drugs that can make people recover quickly within a few days?
Maybe he bought it from those Westerners?
The Special High Section reported that the tanks used by Jiang Cheng in the attack on Jiangqiao were purchased from the French.

So they suspected that this batch of drugs was also obtained from the French - no matter what, they would take it back and study it first.
