The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Because of the advance to Siberia, the Kwantung Army Governor's Office was nominally moved to Japanese Korea.

But Fukushima Yasumasa, the highest officer, was still at the front line in Vladivostok at this time; it took him a whole day to receive this telegram that made him indignant.

Fukushima Yasushige was stunned for three minutes after receiving the telegram. He really couldn't understand why that bastard Jiang Cheng went to Jinzhou again.
What's more, I don't understand why he organized a military exercise so seriously, even if it was using live ammunition, and even had to inform the Kwantung Army Governor's Office.

However, after his subordinates reported the whole story to him, he was completely furious.

"Damn Jiang Cheng, it's not enough that he caused trouble in Hunchun, he actually went to Jinzhou to fight against the imperial army!"

Fukushima Yasumasa was extremely angry and slammed the telegram paper on the table.
Tanaka Yoshiichi, the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, was also horrified.

They have gained a lot of territory in Vladivostok, and so far, although the US military has threatened them with limited troop deployments many times, there has been no substantial action;

Not only did they expand the war situation, but they also won a great victory as "heroes" of the military - they gained a lot of face both at home and in front of the Japanese emperor.

And Tanaka, as the main instigator of this military expedition, even won the opportunity to join the cabinet.

"This is a clear case of the lower class overthrowing the upper class!"

Tanaka Yoshiichi said angrily, "We don't have the best time to expand in the Northeast at the moment. Why would these idiots in the rear attack Jinzhou at this time?"

"Before the action, that bastard An Yuan did not inform us at all... Together with that bastard Minamoto Yoshimasa, they made such a bold move!"

The top brass of the two military departments began a verbal attack; but even if it was an attack, it was just because their subordinates were too disobedient... and the fact that they were invading was actually someone else's territory, so they didn't take it to heart at all.

The arrogance and abomination of the Japs can be seen from this, but what the two are worried about right now is precisely the instability in the rear.

After all, the reason why the battle in Vladivostok has been so successful so far has a lot to do with Marshal Zhang’s “cooperation”.

The troops have been sent out, and some military supplies and food have been sold. If Jinzhou falls out and Jilin and Heilongjiang refuse to provide supplies, North Korea alone will not be able to sustain the war!
"Let's check the specific situation with Minamoto Yoshimasa carefully."

After all, he was a "big shot" who was about to join the cabinet. Tanaka Yoshiichi quickly regained his cold and serious demeanor and turned to Fukushima Yasumasa arrogantly.
"This is a critical moment in Siberia, and we must not allow any mistakes to happen... Fukushima-kun, call the forward command post right now!"

…………

As soon as UMC issued the signal, cannons outside Jinzhou city fired simultaneously, and the explosions made the ground inside the city resonate.

The common people were very scared at first, thinking someone was coming to attack the city again.

But what was unexpected was that the young commander who had just occupied the city actually ordered the establishment of two warehouses in the city to store grain.

As long as you are a Chinese, you can get a bushel of food from the soldiers.

These grains were found in the basement of Zhang Jinghui's western-style building.

This damn old guy plans to hoard goods and then resell them when food is scarce in the winter.

He didn't expect that Zhang Jinghui would have to return the same thing he collected: the common people who received the grain spread the news to each other, saying that a living Bodhisattva had come to Jinzhou City.

When people heard that this living Buddha was the legendary young governor of Jilin, they began to praise him highly...

At the same time, seeing that the soldiers were calm when distributing food, it seemed that there was no siege outside the city.

Someone with a loud voice in the crowd shouted to everyone: Come and see! Lord Jiang’s soldiers are firing cannons outside the city. If you want to watch the fun, go quickly!

This kind of new thing has never been heard of before, firing cannons, playing, watching the excitement? Really or not? The Chinese have always had the habit of joining in the fun. When they heard about this unprecedented thing, they all went to the city gate after collecting their food.

At this time, a large number of people from nearby areas had gathered here to watch the excitement. They were all crowded here, stretching their necks and looking outside the city with great interest.

"Wow!"

As the crowd exclaimed one after another, they saw a row of brand new cannons on the battlefield outside the city, suddenly there was a dazzling flash of fire and a deafening sound.

A large amount of gunpowder smoke with an extremely pungent smell rushed towards us, and dazzling flames dragged out long arcs, quickly exploding a large area of ​​fire and dust that shot up into the sky in the distance.

If this thing had hit the city, or exploded in one's own home, the people present probably wouldn't have the leisure to appreciate it.

But right now, the crowd is enjoying the show:

This kind of peep show was definitely the first of its kind in the world. Not only did everyone watch it with great fascination, they also whistled excitedly and cheered "See you again" and "So awesome" etc.

Isn’t this amazing? They are all brand new European products. Some of them were removed from their gun covers for the first time when Li Shitou attacked Jinzhou City.

Not to mention that these people in Northeast China have never seen it, I'm afraid that most of the Beiyang generals have never seen it.

"Long live Mr. Jiang!"

"Master Jiang is so awesome!"

From under the city gate tower, bursts of cheers and excitement could be heard one after another, while Jiang Cheng, who was sitting behind the parapet, was sipping a cup of hot tea.

"Feilan, you are awesome! Listen... everyone is praising you."

Zhang Tingxue was sitting next to him. When he heard the constant shouts coming from his feet, his face was filled with pride and joy.

Jiang Cheng raised his hand and pinched her pretty face affectionately, but he noticed that Zhang Hanqing and Guo Maochen were both a little jealous, and even Yang Yuting showed a little envy.

"Long live the emperor!"

Zhang Hanqing curled his lips, "You are rich, playing with foreign cannons as firecrackers."

Who says it’s not true? I also feel sorry for spending so much money.

Jiang Cheng picked up the teapot and handed it to Ye Hai: "You are so tactless, hurry up and pour tea for the officers!"

Knowing that he was pretending, Zhang and Guo didn't say anything, but Yang Yuting turned his somewhat tangled eyes to him: "Feilan, do you think this will really work?"

Whether it works or not, we have to ask the Japanese outside the city.

Jiang Cheng didn't say anything, but stood up and walked towards the parapet.

Unlike Zhang Tingxue who came from a military background, Yu Fengzhi and Jiang Jintao were still afraid of the huge noise of cannons and did not dare to go forward to watch with their husbands like her.

"What are you looking at?"

Seeing Jiang Cheng holding up the telescope, Zhang Tingxue asked softly. (End of this chapter)
