The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"The Japanese army's current attack focus is not in the Northeast, but in Siberia."

Jiang Cheng said calmly, "They are planning to attack Jinzhou now. I'm afraid they just saw that our Fengtian Army was in turmoil and came to take advantage of it."

With the heavily armed escort brigade there, there was little chance of trouble in Jinzhou;
but……

Jiang Cheng stared at the topographic map spread out in front of him, his expression slightly tense: the common people outside the city would probably suffer - although it is unlikely that they would burn, kill and loot as blatantly as after the September 18th Incident, but wherever the devils pass, there will definitely be no peace.

"We still have to urge your sixth uncle to come to Jinzhou as soon as possible."

Yang Yuting said in a deep voice, "First of all, we are not the local garrison, so it is not legitimate for us to fight against the devils."

Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and nodded silently.

If it was two years ago, he was just a small regiment leader, and he was so hot-blooded that he fought desperately with the Japanese. There is nothing much to say about it.

But now I have long passed the stage of impulsive fighting; after all, I represent the interests of a unified country... I must be extremely cautious before taking action. It would be stupid to rush forward in a fit of rage.

"Exercises are exercises, but the actions behind them are also necessary."

Jiang Cheng's eyes suddenly turned cold, "It seems that we need to find out where these devils came from——"

"We still have to treat the symptoms!"

Hideki Matsushita had just crawled out of bed after ordering the signalman to connect the phone to the Siping Railway Protection Army Headquarters.

With the rapid development of Jilin and the autumn harvest in progress, the countryside has become much calmer.

He also took some time out of his busy schedule to drink and have fun with a few colleagues. If it weren't for the call from his ally, he would probably have slept until the afternoon.

Even though the other party spoke in pure Japanese, Hideki Matsushita recognized it as Jiang Cheng's voice at the first sight.

When he learned that such a troop was heading towards Jinzhou, the Japanese commander-in-chief of the South Manchuria Railway was also shocked.

Because even though he was in a high position and had great power, he had never heard of such a military action from his superiors.

It must have been done by the political enemies of their General Staff, the Japanese military!

Even though he understood this, Matsushita Hideki did not show any sign of being unhappy. Instead, he calmly asked Jiang Cheng about their approximate units and their commanders.

Jiang Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Yang Yuting, clearly saying: This is going to work.

"Mr. Suzuki, why are you asking me this? These are all your allies."

Jiang Cheng's tone of voice suddenly became more ambiguous when he spoke Japanese. "We are the ones being attacked. How can we know these situations?"

Suzuki was speechless for a moment, having already cursed the military as beasts a million times with the foulest curse words he could think of.

Now that we have finally achieved a brief period of stability, isn't your military still dispatching troops in Siberia?

Why did such a thing happen in the rear? But he never thought that the General Staff had taken a lot of advantages in the Northeast, and the military not only had no share, but also lost territory and people;
Now that we have this opportunity to seize territory, how can we not seize it?
"Jiang, there's no need to play dumb with me anymore,"

Suzuki quickly tightened his tone and continued, "You know very well that this is not something that happened between you and me, our allies."

"For now, I don't even know the brigade that was dispatched, the unit number, or the commander... Obviously, this is another wanton destruction of the friendly and stable situation between China and Japan." Jiang Cheng almost couldn't hold it in. Damn, you damn Japanese, you still have the nerve to talk about the friendly and stable situation between China and Japan?
Who the hell doesn't know that you Japanese are currently the biggest destabilizing factor in Asia?
Now that Chunchun is pretending to be a big shot, isn't he just making a fool of himself?
"Then, Mr. Suzuki, if I could find out who the other party is, what would you do?"

Jiang Cheng also followed his words and said, "Currently, near Jinzhou, our guard brigade is leading a military exercise to prepare for foreign invasion—"

"Later, I will send a telegram to the General Staff Headquarters of the Fengtian Army and the Kwantung Army Headquarters... Hehe, what about you?"

Well, from what you said, you are planning to show your real weapons, and then as you Chinese people say: Come up if you are not afraid of death?

Faced with such intimidating and provocative words, Suzuki Hideki gritted his teeth, but his reason overcame his unhappiness, and he smiled sinisterly: "Jiang, just provide me with the information I need, and you don't need to consider anything else."

Jiang Cheng glanced at Yang Yuting who was frowning, and laughed, "Open-minded! How about we just say that we like to deal with smart and straightforward people... Haha, please wait for good news!"

After saying this, he hung up the phone without waiting for Suzuki Hideki to reply.

"You're talking to him in a roundabout way. Is it any use talking about this?"

Yang Yuting could understand Japanese, but he couldn't understand what was going on here.

Because even as the Chief of Staff of the Fengtian Army, he did not understand the alliance between them.

"The group of devils that attacked Jinzhou is different from the ones that cooperated with our boss."

Jiang Cheng said succinctly, "I am now planning to use Suzuki to deal with his political enemies."

Yang Yuting thought that this move was very clever, but his face still sank: "Will it be so smooth?"

In his eyes, there are indeed some struggles within these books, but when it comes to China's interests, they should still be able to remain consistent.

They united to attack China and then divided the benefits.

But the actual situation is not like this at all - although the Japanese territory is not large, it is divided into various factions and is complex, and these factions are not on the same page.
Not to mention win-win cooperation, the most common thing is to undermine each other.

"Forget it, you are the commander and I will listen to you... Tell me, is there anything you need my cooperation with?"

In the face of the crisis, Yang Yuting put aside his previous unhappiness and said, "Anything I can do."

Jiang Cheng winked slyly and smiled at him easily: "Yes, there is a little bit. I need your help."

…………

Twenty minutes later, two joint telegrams were sent to the Marshal's Headquarters and the Kwantung Army Governor's Office in the name of Jinzhou.

The general content is that there were serious public security problems in Jinzhou. Although they were suppressed, banditry was still rampant in the vicinity.

Jiang Cheng, commander-in-chief of the Jilin Army, announced that he would join forces with all Fengtian troops near Jinzhou to conduct a three-day special military exercise.

He also specifically stated that in order to allow his brothers to gain sufficient practical experience in this exercise, he, General Jiang... will use live ammunition.

Exercises are exercises, but live-fire exercises are extremely rare, not to mention in the Fengtian Army outside the Great Wall, even among all the Beiyang troops.

Besides, exercises usually have a designated area, and it is not a large area - Jiang Cheng actually pulled the entire area around Jinzhou into the "exercise", what kind of thing is this!? (End of this chapter)
