The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

At this moment, because of the flag signal from the top of the city wall, the artillery regiment has stopped loading, and the cannons are now filled with smoke.

Looking into the distance, the harvested fields were deserted, with only haystacks and ridges occasionally visible on the endless black earth.
After the shells hit the spot, looking further away with the help of a telescope, one can clearly see a formal camp.

It's the devil's camp.

At this moment, they were clearly already in full gear, gathering and preparing—

But if you look more closely, you will find that although these devils have taken action, they are just spinning in circles, like a group of ants in a hot pan.

Jiang Cheng handed the telescope to Yang Yuting, smoothed his messy hair and smiled: "From your point of view, Chief of Staff, are the Japanese scared?"

Yang Yuting was half-believing and half-doubting, but soon he smiled: "I think your 'Sword Drawn Operation' is quite interesting——"

"But it's strange. The Japanese are always brave and willing to risk their lives... Jinzhou is right in front of them, but they don't seem to have any intention of charging straight up."

Guo Maochen, who was standing by, also fell into deep thought after observing:
The Japanese's behavior was indeed a bit abnormal - although Jiang Feilan's artillery fire was fierce, how could just two rounds scare the Japs who had already gotten so close?

Not right.

He turned his gaze to Jiang Cheng and Yang Yuting again, secretly wondering what kind of preliminary preparations the two had made before the so-called "Operation Bright Sword".

Behind him, a messenger suddenly trotted up the city wall: "Master Jiang, there's a call from the Marshal's Mansion!"

Jiang Cheng knew that the telegram from the Marshal's Mansion would definitely arrive, but just as he was taking his time, Guo Maochen got there first, snatched the telegram paper and started reading it.

His face suddenly darkened, and he immediately glanced at the Jilin Governor who was walking slowly towards him. Guo Maochen said in a muffled voice: "Master Jiang, you are really capable!"

"I can actually ask the Marshal to give you this appearance..."

Jiang Cheng quickly glanced at the message and handed it to the curious Zhang Hanqing with a smile: "Maochen, I don't like what you said. What do you mean by Master Shuai gave me this favor?"

"No matter what, Jinzhou is also our boss's territory. Why are you showing up just for me? Besides, Jinzhou is not my, Jiang Cheng's, territory, right?"

He turned around and looked at Duan Xinyu who had been covering her ears in the distance. She was a little afraid of the sound of the cannons;

But her father was obviously shocked by the foreign guns and cannons in front of him.

Two years ago, he was the commander-in-chief of Fengtian, but he had never seen such a scene!

It's fucking scary... This Jiang kid is so rich, he can actually get so many good things that he has never seen before -

Besides that, he could clearly see how loyal the Ji army was under the leadership of this kid Jiang Cheng;

If I rashly take up the office, things might go wrong... No, maybe as soon as I take over the seal of the governor in Jilin Prefecture, the entire Jilin army will mutiny the next day!

Duan Zhigui was indeed stupid, and he had stayed in the prosperous capital for too long, which had wiped out his basic vigilance and political sensitivity, so he was fooled by Feng Guozhang to come outside the Great Wall.

Damn it, I was only thinking about the big piece of fat meat in Jilin, but I completely forgot: thieves eat meat, but thieves also get beaten!

He had already begun to regret accepting Feng Guozhang's order.

Damn it, I didn't have many soldiers in the capital, and after the incident in Jinzhou, I was basically left with nothing...

As for them, father and daughter, going to Jilin Prefecture to take up their posts, even if there is an order from the capital and the protection of the so-called "heavenly soldiers", can they really be safe?
Just as his eyes were rolling wildly, Guo Maochen actually put aside his so-called face for the first time and analyzed the current situation with Jiang Cheng and Yang Yuting. Zhang Jinghui was dead, but the Japanese had found such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could they let it go.

But Yang Yuting believed that the negotiations between the Marshal's Office and Japan would definitely be useful. According to the report from the General Staff Headquarters, Okawa Masao had already taken his men to the Japanese command post.

Jiang Cheng sneered: Yang Yuting's "negotiation thinking" largely represents the thinking within the Beiyang faction.

Even before the September 18 Incident, this group of Northeast Army generals, even Marshal Li himself, believed that they could negotiate with the Japanese.

"Boiling frog in warm water."

Jiang Cheng interrupted Yang Yuting's words succinctly, "Lin Ge, the Japanese are invaders, just like a mad wild dog. How could he retreat just like that when he saw the meat and got the benefits?"

"I'll fire these cannons, and then have my guard brigade conduct exercises with the Fengtian Army brothers nearby. I'm not trying to scare the birds - I want to fight the Japanese with real guns and real swords!"

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he looked around at Zhang Hanqing and Feng Yong, then looked at the two officers who were at odds with each other, and finally his eyes fell on the women.

Even including Duan Xinyu who was far away, all the women showed their enthusiastic looks with approval and yearning.

"Don't worry, this battle has to be fought, and I will definitely win!"

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he asked Ye Hai to lead his personal soldiers to escort the female family members back to Zhang Jinghui's villa, and instructed them to take care of them.

About two hours later, just as it was getting dark, the Japanese army threatened to enter Jinzhou City to protect the overseas Chinese and launched a general attack on the place.

Jiang Cheng also used this time to find out that the officer leading this brigade was named Yasuhara Nobumoto, a member of the Japanese garrison in Huludao.

Under the first round of artillery attack, the broken walls of Jinzhou City could no longer withstand it... There were flying sand and gravel everywhere, and ruins everywhere.

As the saying goes, veterans are afraid of guns, and new recruits are afraid of artillery. Jiang Cheng's escort brigade members are basically the best soldiers selected from various brigades and regiments.

These old veterans hid in hidden places in the city defenses, some of them were smoking cigarettes with great joy, while more were tying explosive packs, all of them enjoying themselves.

As the city gate was blown open, the first round of Japanese soldiers crouched down, carrying plaster flags and rushed up. Some of them were carrying mortars in their hands and were carefully looking for hiding places such as trenches.

But before the crooked cannon could be erected, the soldiers who had been ready at the city gate had already opened fire!

Whizzing……

There were two sharp sounds, and two light green flares, like the eyes of the King of Hell, slowly climbed to the top and exploded with a bright light.

Jiang Cheng, who was standing on the wall, immediately yelled, "Hit me!"

Assuming in advance that the light machine guns on the top of the city opened fire almost at the same time, this light machine gun produced in the Sudetenland has quite good firepower——

Especially when equipped with an extended ammunition belt, it made it impossible for the Japanese who approached us to return!
"Stop, stop!"

Jiang Cheng yelled and cursed, "Don't be such a rich man and keep fighting. Damn it - bullets for this thing are hard to find."

The sound of gunfire suddenly stopped. Feng Yong covered his ears and turned pale.
Dapingzhuang was also allocated three such machine guns, but he had never used them before... Today, when he saw them, he was really dazzled. (End of this chapter)
