The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 472: Let the Japs Suffer
Given the current situation, it would be easy to capture Yanji... Of course, with his current strength, he is not afraid of the enemy's counterattack.

However, the two major cities of Tumen and Helong clamp down on this place on the left and right. If we go north, there is also Hunchun, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army.

He knew very well that it was easy to capture the Japanese troops in Yanji, but the "battle" that would follow would be more intense than a hot war.

At this time, the Jilin army that entered the city first, under the leadership of Guo Xipeng and his subordinate Gao Maolin, had gone to put out the fire and rescue the wounded in batches.

The people who suffered the most in the war were the ordinary people - especially in order to suppress the Japanese invaders, many civilian houses were inevitably damaged by artillery fire, and the casualties caused by this were actually the ordinary people of Jilin.

Just when I could not help but feel compassion for the world, Guo Xipeng unexpectedly brought back a message:
It seemed that the place where their shells landed most densely was not the people of Jilin, but the gathering place of Korean expatriates. Most of the casualties were Koreans, and there were very few local people.

"Not a Japanese? Not one of ours either?"

Jiang Cheng blinked in surprise, "Forget it, bring a few military doctors over to take a look. If they are all ordinary civilians, treat them together."

Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Japanese invaders had annexed Korea and colonized it. Bloody massacres occurred almost every day, and many people could not bear it and had to leave their homes.

There are still many ordinary North Korean people in cities like Yanji, which are close to the border.

"Hey Mr. Jiang, you don't have to be so kind. We can't handle it!"

Guo Xipeng was a little embarrassed. "Just take care of your own people... We,"

Jiang Dengxuan immediately retorted: "Just do it if I tell you to, don't talk so much—"

"As long as they are not the Japanese devils, they can be the ones we unite with in the future. They are also the poor people who have lost their homeland and been invaded."

Jiang Cheng smiled: "Brother Chao Liu is very sympathetic to me. We can use these people well. In the future, we can fight against Japan together. What if we can even build a Korean division? Don't you think so?"

After saying this, he ended his brief battlefield inspection, got in the car and drove straight to the Japanese command post.

After the Japanese army occupied Yanji, the municipal building was completely occupied and used as the command post of the Kwantung Army.

After suffering a defeat, they simply fled. The huge command post was already deserted, with debris left over from the hasty retreat scattered everywhere.

"Communications platoon, quickly restore power and communications systems!"

Jiang Cheng got off the military vehicle and headed straight for the building, while giving a stern order to Jiang Dengxuan, "Find someone who's good at writing. I'm going to send a message to the commander!"

Although he didn't understand what he meant, Jiang Dengxuan still called over his most capable talent.

This man’s surname is Bai. He is a fellow villager of Jiang Dengxuan. They went to private school together when they were young. His full name is Bai Haochen.

The tall and thin man had dark skin, but a pair of bright eyes. When he saw Jiang Cheng, he immediately saluted: "Master Jiang!"

Jiang Cheng sat down behind the empty desk and smiled at him: "You are from the same hometown as Brother Chao Liu, so we will be brothers from now on."

"Come, find a seat next to me, I'll tell you to write it - and then you can revise it and send the battle report to the Fengtian General Staff Headquarters immediately."

Bai Haochen quickly obeyed and took paper and pen, while Jiang Dengxuan looked puzzled.

Jiang Cheng quickly stated his intentions, the gist of which was: in order to rescue Han Qing and Mao Chen, they had no choice but to engage in battle with the Japanese troops in Yanji;
Then Zhang Hanqing is now seriously injured, Guo Maochen is missing, the hateful Japanese are going too far, and so on.

"what!?"

Jiang Dengxuan was completely dumbfounded, "Master Jiang, you, you are..." Without answering him, Jiang Cheng continued to instruct Bai Haochen seriously: "The Ji army is in a tough battle now... Well, that, that is, Takeuchi Nishi also led his troops to fight back to the death,"

"The current situation in Yanji City is unclear and uncertain - Fei Lan kowtows to the Fengtian General Staff Headquarters and guarantees that brother Han Qing is safe!"

"Okay, just write it like this, and go send the message quickly!"

Jiang Dengxuan smiled bitterly, and his immediate superior watched as Bai Haochen, who looked puzzled, ran away with the draft, and then he winked slyly and smiled, "You have to make Mr. Shuai feel sorry for you, right?"

Jiang Dengxuan's expression twitched a little: "Feeling distressed?"

The Jilin governor then smiled and said, "That's right!"

"Think about it, it's easy for us to fight with the Ding-Kang-54 tactics, but the Japanese in Yanji City must have seen how powerful we are - and think about it, they have suffered such a big setback here, what can they do when they go back? Haha, they will still say that we are as powerful as the heavenly soldiers and generals."

"They had no choice... and they had to retreat in order to protect their Japanese soldiers."

At this point, Jiang Cheng added, "But after all, the city has been lost. The Japanese will definitely not give up. They will create a diplomatic incident or force me to step down."

Jiang Dengxuan slowly understood: "We can fight, but I have to let you take care of the aftermath. That's what you mean, then..."

Jiang Cheng smiled: "Han Qing is in Jilin. Does it matter whether he is caught in a tough battle or taken away by the Japanese?"

"He's in Jilin. Even if you are a ruthless person, you still have to take care of your son. Besides, there is also his favorite daughter-in-law."

"Don't worry, Guo Maochen will take him to Jilin Prefecture, and he will definitely follow Zhang Hanqing to protect me, Jiang Cheng."

"They know very well that Jilin is under my control, and in the overall blueprint of heading north to Siberia, I am the best choice for the top leader."

"Besides, I have a tank, haha!"

Jiang Dengxuan froze: he had never expected that this young man, not even twenty years old, could guess the mentality of everyone from all sides, and in the most red-line way, with means that were almost like gambling, "force" Marshal Zhang to speak and do his best to protect him.

The most important thing is that now that they have occupied Yanji, they have to force the Japanese to suffer in silence!

"Okay, let Mr. Shuai take care of his business... We can't just sit around."

Jiang Cheng's words quickly pulled the other party back to his distracted thoughts, "Listen, just talking is not enough, we have to mobilize troops and scare the devils away."

Jiang Dengxuan stood up immediately: "I'll listen to you, Master Jiang!"

…………

Almost on the same day, the tank troops, after a short rest, rushed towards Tumen City.

Although the force was much weaker than that used to attack Yanji, as soon as the artillery fired and the tanks appeared in the front line, the Japanese in the city sent messages to Fengtian like snowflakes.

"This brat is causing trouble for me all day long!"

Marshal Zhang was so angry that he threw the telegram on the bedside table and his face turned pale.

It was almost one in the morning when Zhao Xishun received the news. Seeing that the matter had almost been exposed, he rushed to the commander who was staying at the Fifth Madam's place and handed him a thick stack of papers.
