The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 466 Attack
This was not a departure in anger, he also took some of Xiao Zhang's elite troops with him... In such a situation of leaving in anger, with Guo Guizi's temperament, he would be easily angered by anyone or anything.
It is not surprising to see such an aggressive behavior.

The other side was silent for two minutes, but Zhang Hanqing said calmly: "Let's not talk about this - I just want to know where Maochen and the others are, what happened to them, and what's the current situation?"

If you let me tell you, wouldn't it be very embarrassing for me as the governor of Jilin?
"Hanqing, these are not things that can be explained in a few words over the phone! My elder sister and Tinglan have gone to pick you up. Let's talk about it when we get to Jilin Prefecture."

Jiang Cheng hung up the phone in a calm tone.

Just as night fell, news about Yang Hongyi arrived again -

Several Japanese spies were captured in Dunhua City. They dismantled telegraph machines in the city and burned a large number of telegrams and letters, clearly intending to escape.

Hearing this news, Jiang Cheng's pupils shrank slightly.

The Japanese invaders in history had only one purpose for doing these things, which was to get the news of the Japanese attack in advance, burn important documents, and quickly run away.

But he gritted his teeth:
If this is the case, the city of Dunhua must have been completely infiltrated by the Japanese. Yang Hongyi had only been in office for a week... but he didn't catch any Japanese spies. Instead, he let them find a reason to attack first!
In a flash, he ordered Jiang Dengxuan to lead his troops to attack Dunhua. News about Zhang Tingshu also arrived.

The brothers who were active near Yanji discovered Guo Maochen's small group of troops.

They were dispersed by the Japanese when they were attacking Yanji, and only half of them ran back... Under the leadership of a man named Guo, they quickly broke through and planned to run nearby.

"Let them rush to Jilin Prefecture. I think the Japanese will chase them and beat them to death."

Until this point, Jiang Cheng felt more and more uneasy.

Judging from Lu Yonggui's incident, although Guo Maochen was disrespectful to Xiao Zhang, he acted too rashly and directly, which angered the young master;
But if he killed the man surnamed Lu, it would be good for Xiao Zhang, the situation in Heilongjiang Province, or the entire Northeast.

Even old warlords like Ding Chunxi are oppressing the people and letting their soldiers do harm. If Lu Yonggui is not killed, the Heilongjiang Provincial Army will not only have to guard against him carefully, but also have to be on guard against his rebellion someday.

He is really not a reckless person.

So, attacking Yanji... might actually make some sense.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng repeatedly reminded Zhang Tingshu that he must bring Guo Maochen back carefully and never let anything happen to him.

Two hours later, Zhang Hanqing's large army arrived. Jiang Cheng ordered his men to place them in the large camp at Songhua Lake, and then went out of the city in person to welcome him and Yu Fengzhi.

When they arrived, they didn't even bother to exchange greetings and hurriedly asked about the war situation.

This time Jiang Cheng did not embarrass him in front of him, but got into the car quickly with him and told him the situation along the way.

"Mao Chen is definitely not a reckless person. He went to fight the Japanese invaders - there must be a reason."

After Zhang Hanqing finished speaking, Jiang Cheng nodded and responded, "I think so too. That's why I asked Ting Shu to go and meet them... Let's not talk about it for now. You two are exhausted. You should go home and rest first."

"I'll take care of Mao Chen's affairs and the devil's affairs!"

Zhang Hanqing frowned and waved his hands repeatedly: "How can I sit still when such a big thing happened? My troops just finished suppressing the bandits and they have traveled a long distance. They need to rest, but I don't..."

"Hurry up and focus on your business!" Knowing what he would say, Jiang Cheng told Han Ming, who was driving, to go to the lobby of the government office.

At this time, Jiang Dengxuan had led the vanguard troops straight to Dunhua, and Jiang Cheng had ordered Li Shitou and Guo Xipeng to both prepare for battle and head for Dunhua in an hour.

The Japanese troops around Yanji have clearly already started their battle formation, so Jiang Cheng certainly won't be polite.

"Change your clothes and get ready to go!"

Facing the military uniforms and personal equipment that had been prepared for them in the large office, Jiang Cheng quickly took off his clothes and changed, "I'm going to the barracks to check on the troops. It's 9:40 pm now. We'll set off from the South Gate of Jilin Prefecture at 10:15 pm!"

Zhang Hanqing was silent, but Yu Fengzhi beside him was a little anxious.

But her husband had to go to the battlefield to fight, and this quiet and elegant young lady could only look on with affection.

"Be...careful."

Seeing him just take off his dirty coat and throw it aside, Yu Fengzhi carefully picked up the coat that was folded and printed, and helped him put on the collar badge, etc., "Hey, what am I talking about? Nothing will happen to you two...right, right?"

Zhang Hanqing didn't appreciate it. He snatched it from her hand and smiled grimly: "Of course, he is the governor of Jilin, Jiang Feilan, who is extremely brave and talented. In the battle, he is the reincarnation of Wei Qing. How can I get into trouble if I follow him?"

Yu Fengzhi was choked by him for a moment, and stammered for a long time: "That's not what I meant - I just said, hey!"

Seeing her husband becoming increasingly unhappy, she did not dare to say anything else.

She walked forward with her head down and was about to help him button his shirt, but Zhang Hanqing had already gotten angry. He pushed her shoulder and slammed the door and walked out panting with his adjutant Wu Dongyun.

At this time, Guo Xipeng and Li Shitou's main forces had all assembled, and the sky had completely darkened.

But the torches outside the city were already connected, and officers from top to bottom were organizing the troops and giving speeches. As orders were conveyed and the soldiers responded one after another, an unprecedented atmosphere of war gathered in the capital of Jilin.

Seeing that Zhang Hanqing and others had arrived, Jiang Cheng shouted loudly and set off. After several heralds passed down the order, the fire dragon made of torches began to move out of the city.

But not long after the troops left Jilin Prefecture, the battle in Dunhua broke out.

At this time, Jiang Dengxuan's reinforcements had not arrived yet, and Yang Hongyi's garrison had already engaged in a battle with the Japanese.

The firepower of the attacking troops was so fierce that the north gate of Dunhua was breached in just one hour... The Japanese army poured into the city like a tide and killed everyone they saw.

After Ding Chunxi was strangled, Jiang Cheng began to "reorganize the army" throughout Jilin. The original garrison commander of Dunhua also allowed his soldiers to cause harm and was even suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so Jiang Cheng replaced him with his fourth uncle Yang Hongyi.

As a result, most of the garrison troops in Dunhua were not his subordinates, and he had only been in office for a short time, with limited organizational and command capabilities, making the counterattack extremely difficult - there were even many soldiers who, seeing that the Japanese firepower was too fierce, simply dropped their guns, took off their uniforms and ran away on the spot!
Yang Hongyi was so anxious that he took his men to the North City District to supervise the battle. However, seeing the overwhelming defeat, he had no choice but to break out.

"Master Jiang trusts us so much...are we actually going to abandon the city and run away?"

He clenched his fists, a moment of grief and anger surged into his heart, and he suddenly wanted to commit suicide and die for the city.
