The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

After saying this, Duan Zhigui was so angry that he almost lost his mind.

Even when he was in Pingyang, he had never suffered such cold treatment.

"you……"

Facing Duan Zhigui's anger and humiliation, Xu Houcheng, like a victorious general, quickly called on his officers to lead the main force, opened the city gate and went out of the city to fight.

Seeing this clearly out of control situation, Duan Zhigui was so angry that he paced back and forth on the ground, saying "how can this be possible" seven or eight times in a row...

Zhang Xuecheng, who was standing aside, was so angry at a small regiment commander like Xu Houcheng that he couldn't even control the smile on his face.

But since he was the superior after all, Zhang Xuecheng still had to be considerate of the other party's face. He pretended to cough twice and scolded him with an unhappy look:
"Hey! Commander Duan, please don't be surprised... We soldiers outside the Great Wall are usually wild and stubborn. We are stubborn in our words and deeds and will not change our ways--"

"Hehe, sometimes I don't even give you face! Don't bother with the people below you."

Now that this has been said, if Duan Zhigui still offends others because of such a thing, wouldn't that be too disgraceful?
But he was their immediate superior after all, and these people didn't give him any face and just scolded him, and they also ignored his orders and went against them directly...

If this were to end like this, he, as the governor-general, would not only lose face - but would anyone still take him, the "governor-general", seriously as a dish in the future?
"Haha, I've learned a lot about the 'rules' of the Ji army this time!"

Duan Zhigui pretended to be proud and deep, "From now on, we need to make adjustments from top to bottom."

Are you serious or are you just trying to amuse us?

Zhang Xuecheng also looked at him with a slightly mocking and contemptuous look. You are such a bald commander, even a regiment commander like Xu Houcheng doesn't take you seriously, and you still expect to train everyone?
"Oh, yes, yes! You are the superior, so of course whatever you do is right."

Zhang Xuecheng said this awkwardly, and took his subordinates out of the city to help.

In fact, there is nothing much to fight against this group of Japanese devils if they go to help.

The number of reinforcements from Changchun crushed them, and with the help of tanks, their tactics were the infantry-tank coordination that had just been "introduced" in the European War...

No matter how fierce Minamoto no Yoshimasa was, the improvised counterattack seemed very weak.

Faced with this encirclement, if they continued to fight, the only option left would probably be for all of them to die in battle.

So the only thing left was to break out, and Zhang Tinglan deliberately left a way for the Japanese to escape... When these guys fled, not only did they leave their dead or wounded comrades behind, some even threw away the guns and other things that were in the way.

These fleeing figures quickly disappeared in the thick smoke. In the dirt piles, trenches, and some cement pits, there were a lot of pieces of flesh that could not even be considered corpses.

It was as if he was using the most painful and mournful voice to tell the misery and despair before death.

"I said, in this kind of battle situation, big brother is also going to play the game of Wei Shi Bi Que?"

When the troops "returned", Zhang Xuecheng, with a sly smile on his face, questioned Zhang Tinglan, "Hey guys, why did you come just now?"

You little brat, if we hadn’t come to rescue you in time, you would have been eaten by the Japanese, right?
After all, his status in the Northeast was precious, so Zhang Tinglan was polite to him, but there was still thorn in his words: "Yes, we are a little over the top here, so we didn't see the majestic and heroic people who had learned and led the troops to charge!"

No way, you insult me ​​in front of so many people? Zhang Xuecheng was stunned for a moment and curled his lips, but Zhang Tinglan didn't wait for him to speak. Instead, he immediately looked around and asked seriously: "Where is Duan Zhigui? Haha, isn't he here to take office? Why didn't he come to see me when he passed through Changchun..."

"It's me, Zhang Tinglan, who is not worthy of you, right?"

Understanding what he meant, Zhang Xuecheng's eyes rolled quickly: bickering with one's own brothers is one thing, but now that there are dirty tricks infiltrated into the Jilin Army, it is natural that they must unite.

He winked at Xu Houcheng, who immediately led the Changchun garrison officer to Jiutai, while grumbling about how cowardly the old man was and how he was afraid of fighting...

Then, when it was obvious that the battle was about to be won, he actually started to put on airs in front of them. How despicable!

After hearing his words, Zhang Tinglan did not rush to express his opinion, but quickly turned his gaze to Zhang Xuecheng.

"It's similar to what Old Xu said... The old guy is indeed here to take office: my uncle also said that it would be difficult to oppose the capital next year, so let him come first;"

"Then we should do what we should do. We don't need to take him seriously. Besides, from what I heard from my uncle, it seems that he wants to make him his own man and then set up a sowing of dissent in the capital."

Zhang Tinglan nodded silently, turned around and asked his brothers to clean up the battlefield first, while he continued to move into the city with his personal soldiers.

"My father meant something similar... But this old bastard just arrived in Jilin, and we fought with the devils like this, wouldn't it give Beijing an excuse to accuse us?"

Zhang Tinglan's worries were not unnecessary. If they lost the battle, they would probably blame the former warlord Jiang Cheng, and teach him a lesson for his incompetence in handling affairs and his inability to control his subordinates, and even his inability to deal with a group of Japanese invaders.

But they defeated the Japanese, especially killing so many of them in one breath. Japan is putting pressure on the capital, so it is very likely that Jiang Cheng will still be blamed.

"Let it fall!"

Xu Houcheng patted his chest loudly, "If the higher-ups investigate, I won't say anything... We were promoted by Master Jiang. We are Master Jiang's men in life and Master Jiang's ghosts in death!"

"If anyone pursues the matter, just say that it was me, Xu Houcheng, who wanted to beat him up, and I'll take the blame."

Zhang Xuecheng was all smiles, but the eldest son beside him patted him on the shoulder with admiration and said, "Your passion and loyalty are touching..."

"But if the capital really investigates, I'm afraid you, a small group leader, won't be able to handle it!"

As they were talking, these young officers, led by Xu Houcheng, had already entered Jiutai County.

By this time, it was already mostly dark, and Duan Zhigui, accompanied by several of Zhang Xuecheng's personal soldiers, was still standing there.

But his face was completely blue and purple. When he saw them, he approached with his arms swinging and angrily questioned Zhang Xuecheng: "Why didn't you obey orders?"

"After fighting the Japanese and causing so many of them to die in one go, will they let it go after the news is passed back?"

Damn, I've been very nice to you along the way, right?

There are so many people here, and you don’t dare to scold any of them, but just come towards me?
Zhang Xuecheng had actually been suppressing his anger the whole time, and seeing him losing face like this, he immediately folded his elbows and said coldly: "What do you mean, Commander Duan? Let's not fight, but sit down and have a good talk with the devils?" (End of this chapter)
