The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 440: The Devil Begs for Life
"You've made a great contribution. It's all my uncle's fault. I just want to talk to you about this because I think Jilin needs it and our development needs it."

Zhang Xuecheng was so stunned by the praise that he scratched his head and smiled in a naive way.

"Well done! If we brothers put our efforts together, we won't have to worry about not being able to develop in the future!"

Jiang Cheng praised them a few more times and then asked them to go back and rest.

The army was about to be expanded, and with the addition of the White Russian Regiment, Zhang Xuecheng added two more regiments, Ding Chunxi and Ye Qinglin... It would soon be expanded into a mixed brigade with artillery, mechanical troops, and even medical supplies.

This is the fourth mixed brigade after Hai Pingchuan Cai Yuanzong and his escort brigade;
In addition to this unit, Jiang Cheng planned to transfer Guo Xipeng's 132nd Brigade from Liaoyuan and, together with Zhang Fushan's 134th Brigade, take over Hunchun;

Wang Junshan and Jin Yanxi were expanded into the 140th and 141st Brigades respectively. One took over Liaoyuan and the other guarded Nong'an. Together with Zhang Tinglan in Changchun, they took care of the starting station of the North Manchuria Railway.

Together with Hai Rushong's 135th Brigade, Jiang Cheng has four mixed brigades and five conventional brigades... His strength far exceeds that of all the generals under the Marshal, including his father Jiang Lanxuan.

Jiang Cheng took a rest with a plan in mind. The next day, he slept until noon, ate some chicken soup sent by Zhang Tingxue, and asked about her family situation.

Hai Huixin is due to give birth at the end of this month and is no longer able to take care of household affairs; her third sister Zhang Tinghui is in charge of all matters concerning the Governor's Mansion.

In addition, Yu Fengzhi had apparently had another big fight with her husband Zhang Hanqing, and she came home with red and swollen eyes two days ago.

After hiding in the house and sleeping for two days, I started working on business day and night again.

"I heard that Brother Hanqing was quite effective in suppressing bandits in Jiamusi. He is actually capable, but he just doesn't do the right thing."

Zhang Tingxue put away the dishes and chopsticks, and said with a smile, "But the most amazing one is still my Feilan! Wherever I go now, people praise you and admire you."

The suppression of bandits in Jiamusi was actually just to help his young commander improve his military record.

Even though those big bandits occupy the mountains and forests and have decent fighting capabilities... they are far inferior to the regular army.

Besides, the troops are the Marshal's elite guard brigade, led by Guo Maochen, and Wu Junsheng from Qiqihar will definitely support him.

If he could still lose this battle, he would shed his Fengtian Army skin and go straight to the Eight Great Hutongs to become an elephant girl.

Jiang Cheng was thinking about something. After hearing his wife's words, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You are still praising me? Dad is getting better... I regret so much that I didn't take good care of Dad."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tingxue's face darkened: "Alas, he hasn't woken up yet... The doctor said that he hit his head and his body is too weak;"

"Besides, my father always had headaches when he was young, so I was afraid,"

When she said this, her eyes turned red again, "Feilan, I'm so scared!"

Seeing the beauty in pain, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but reach out and hold her cold hand: "I'll ask Lao Sun to go to Fengtian and other places to invite the best doctor!"

Zhang Tingxue looked at him with tears in her eyes, but couldn't help but rush into his strong arms.

"I'm so scared, Feilan - that day you and dad came back covered in blood, wuwu, I'm scared!"

"Luckily you're okay. If God had taken you away, how would my children and I survive?"

Jiang Cheng caressed her soft curly hair with heartache, and he became more and more angry with this hateful devil. "Okay, Xue'er, I know you feel sorry for me - don't go to the hospital these two days, take the children to rest well at Uncle Hai's place! You haven't recovered well after giving birth. I heard from Huixin before that your period is always early and late... You should find a suitable doctor later and take some medicine carefully."

Jiang Cheng kissed her and said with a smile, "Go back and have a rest. You have been here for a few days and your eyes are drooping... My Xue'er is the most beautiful pearl in Jilin. You must be dazzling and dazzling."

In fact, when it comes to beauty, Zhang Tingxue is indeed better than Hai Huixin. Even Vasily, who is used to seeing Slavic blonde beauties, often praises his wife for her beautiful appearance.

Accompanied by two maids, Jiang Cheng immediately asked Ye Hai to find Suzuki Hiroshi.

He got up and sat on the sofa in the independent ward, closing his eyes and resting for about half an hour. Then the Japanese commander of Kuanchengzi Station walked in quickly.

He was wearing casual clothes today, a heavy hat, and a silk scarf wrapped around his face... He looked like a wanted criminal evading arrest.

Especially seeing his guilty look, Jiang Cheng was so stifling laughter that his wounds hurt, but he pretended to be surprised: "Mr. Suzuki, what's wrong with you? You're covering your head and face in such hot weather. Aren't you afraid of the heat?"

Suzuki Hiroshi said with a sad face: "General Jiang, please stop making fun of me! I...ah, it's hard to put into words!"

It turned out that the General Staff Headquarters was targeting the military and even filed a complaint with the Kwantung Army Governor's Office, especially because his men had injured and killed overseas Chinese, and this matter was brought up again to attack them.

This time, Hideki Matsushita led the troops to fight in Qingdao. The entire battle was very successful, and the two ports including Jiaozhou Bay were all taken back... The German troops stationed there were so panicked that they had no choice but to flee for their lives.

Jiang Cheng looked at the increasingly nervous opponent with cold eyes, thinking to himself: Germany is currently busy dealing with the British and French coalition forces, and probably has no time to worry about these territories -

Although these territories are ultimately his Chinese territories, the timing and steadiness of the General Staff's move are worthy of admiration.

"Ahem, now that Mr. Matsushita has retreated, are you worried that he will cause trouble for you?"

Jiang Cheng waved his hand lazily at him, motioning him to sit down first.

He sat down on the small chair opposite him trembling with fear and timidity, gritted his teeth and said in a mournful tone: "He has already caused trouble for me! He once again reported to the cabinet to revoke my command and send me to a military court."

Haha ...

It's really a dog-eat-dog situation!
The General Staff was unstoppable. Even the mentally retarded Emperor Taisho knew what the Marshal had said, that it was warmer on the other side of the bed... He would definitely kill a few useless rubbish at this time to show his love for his good generals.

Jiang Cheng glanced at him and picked up the cigarette box from the coffee table in front of him, but he did not rush to light the cigarette. Instead, he threw the cigarette box to the other party.

He was immediately startled: "You are..."

Jiang Cheng gave a slightly cold smile: "Haha, since Mr. Suzuki has come to me for help, he must trust me!"

"Shall we continue to cooperate happily?"

Hearing this, Suzuki Hiroshi naturally felt as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and nodded quickly like a chick pecking at rice: "Of course!"

"You tell me, just tell me - oh, I've figured it out. Machino Takema said he would help me... I went to find him, but he wouldn't even see me! I can only ask you to help me!"
