The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 454: Seizing the Mine
At dawn, fully armed White Russian cavalry rushed out from the south gate of Jilin Prefecture.

It was midsummer, and the fields surrounding the city were covered with lush and green crops. The fresh fragrance that wafted in the air perked up Jiang Cheng, who was feeling a little sleepy.

You damn Japanese, you dare to mess with me. I will let you know how powerful I am.

After running out of the city and leaving the farmland far behind, Jiang Cheng led Vasily and his party to take a detour and head straight to the iron mining area located north of Jilin Prefecture.

At the beginning, Meng Enyuan formed an alliance with the Japanese military and sold an iron mine, two coal mines and a forest farm to Japanese businessmen at extremely low prices.

The iron mine is closest to Jilin Prefecture and is also where the largest number of Japanese troops are stationed.

Previously, Jiang Cheng asked Machino and Okawa to negotiate to get the iron ore back, but the Japanese businessman Aomori signed the return agreement and then denied it.

It's just right that I should deal with this bastard first today!

After bypassing a wild swamp, Jiang Cheng slowed down the cavalry.

Using the nearby woods as cover, they quietly approached the Japanese base.

I picked up the telescope and looked into the mine. There were traces of Japanese troops at the entrance and on the observation tower... The exit was covered with sandbags and there was even a machine gun position.

"Oh shit."

After seeing the situation in the mine clearly, Jiang Cheng immediately cursed.

Those damn Japanese not only pointed guns at the mine, they also recruited more than a dozen thugs armed with whips and sticks, etc., to beat and scold the miners who were working.

"Before, Huang Yongan's patrol team sent people to check, and there was only this one Japanese army unit near the mine."

Zhang Xuecheng reported in a low voice, "There are only a small team."

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyebrows and sneered: "Only a small team has taken control of our mine - the old man with the hairpin is a fucking prodigal son!"

Gao Wensheng disagreed: "Don't underestimate the Japanese squad... The Jiyuan Mine is very close to the Japanese highway. If anything happens here, the Japanese army can rush over at any time."

"It's easy for us to kill the Japanese, but the miners on this mountain and the people living nearby will be in big trouble."

Jiang Cheng knew what he meant.

The monk can escape, but the temple cannot. Once the Japanese attack, they will vent their anger on the nearby civilians.

He is the top leader of Jilin, how could he allow the Japanese to do this?
"Yes, the common people can't run away for a while, a large number of devils are rushing over... It's a big deal if we protect them. If we don't protect them, the common people will suffer."

Yang Hongyi also responded.

After turning his eyes a few times, Jiang Cheng lowered his voice and gave Vasily a few instructions: "Take thirty or so brothers and fire a few shots at the enemy camp. It would be best if we could kill a few of them... Then, shout in Russian and lead all the enemy away."

"By the way, try not to ride a horse. I think the Japanese in the camp don't seem to have much leg strength."

The White Russian leader, who knew Chinese, immediately saluted. Jiang Cheng stopped Ivan again and said, "Hey, you can't leave. If you follow me, who the hell will translate for me? Do you think any of us can communicate with you in Russian?"

This Ivan was the young man who fainted due to fatigue and hunger on the night when the White Russian Regiment was incorporated. He was the son of Vasily's sister, one year younger than Jiang Cheng, but already a veteran.

The Slavs were usually simple and straightforward, so they found his words rather endearing and started to chuckle.

"Go ahead and teach the little devils a lesson!"

Jiang Cheng waved his hand.

It is hard to say anything else, but the White Russian Regiment’s sneak attack capability and combat proficiency are beyond doubt; Vasily first led the cavalrymen to dismount, and then carefully approached under the cover of vegetation.

Then he gestured to his two men, who crossed with Mosin-Nagant
We passed through dense woods and rugged mountains, trying to avoid making any noise as much as possible.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

The two White Russian soldiers aimed at the machine gun position and the Japanese on the sentry post and opened fire!

It must be said that this old Russian guy's shooting skills are amazing. Every one of his three shots hit the vital points.

As the Japanese soldier fell to the ground and died, the Japanese soldiers in the camp ran out screaming.

Immediately afterwards, Vasily led his team, running and firing, and two more Japanese soldiers fell to the ground one after another - which made them even more angry, and almost all the Japanese soldiers in the camp chased out together.

Seeing that the Russians had successfully lured the tiger away from the mountain, Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and immediately pulled out the Browning, firing two shots at the thugs who were still in a daze in the field.

"Brothers, what are you waiting for? Take revenge if you have a grudge!"

He immediately shouted at the miners, and then these people who had been oppressed for a long time shouted loudly, raised their shovels and pickaxes, and swung them at them fiercely.

With a leader, all the miners were determined to fight back. They were much more numerous than the thugs, but they did not dare to resist because of the Japanese guns.

Now that some of the Japanese have been killed or lured away, they will of course seek revenge.

All the thugs were wiped out in a short while. At this moment, Jiang Cheng immediately led his troops out of here and shouted to the frightened miners: "Don't be afraid! We are the standing army of Jilin Prefecture."

"The people have been killed, so it's inconvenient for you to stay here for long... Throw away your tools and run back home!"

The miners looked at each other in amazement, finding it a little unbelievable.

When did the soldiers become so kind that they ran out from the capital to "liberate" them?
Seeing that everyone was stunned, Gao Wensheng immediately added: "Don't just stand there stupidly, run away quickly! If the Japanese come back, none of you will be able to escape."

As soon as these words came out, the miners present dared not neglect them. They immediately dropped their tools and ran for their lives along the path.

"Feilan, what are you doing..."

Even though Gao Wensheng was speaking in support, he really didn't understand what Jiang Cheng was planning to do by luring the tiger away from the mountain and then letting all the miners run away.

The Japanese finally realized what was happening and came back in a chaotic gathering. But when they got back, they found that their camp had been occupied by a group of soldiers who came from nowhere.
Judging from their uniforms, they should be the Fengtian Army.

"Hey! What do you do?"

The leading team leader pointed at Jiang Cheng's nose and started to curse. Zhang Xuecheng, who was standing beside him, had studied in Japan and knew Japanese: "Hey! Be polite, this is Jilin Governor Jiang Feilan!"

The squad leader's expression instantly turned from anger to shock, and then became even angrier, loudly asking why the Fengtian Army came to seize our camp.

Jiang Cheng sneered twice and responded loudly in Japanese, "Your superiors have already signed the transfer of rights. The Jiyuan mining area originally belonged to us..."

You don't have to leave if you don't want to. If a conflict breaks out, I have the signatures of your Chief Fukushima and Mr. Aomori in my hand. I will definitely hold you accountable then.

The captain was frightened by these words. He could not help but whisper a few words with his adjutant, then said loudly: We can leave first, but that does not mean we agree with you.
