The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Yang Yuting laughed loudly: "Such a beautiful girl, do you really think you are like Liu Xiahui in the opera, who can remain calm even when a beautiful woman sits on your lap?"

"Come on, come on, I won't expose your weakness - I know you are also worried about this!"

Jiang Cheng picked up the coffee, took two sips along the rim of the cup, and sighed with a bitter face: "It is said that being a warlord is high and mighty, and you are majestic wherever you go... But now look, how much blood and rain are hidden behind this glory!"

Yang Yuting punched him back, handed the cup of coffee to Zhang Tinglan who remained silent, and said, "Both of you sit down first. You don't have to be restrained here!"

"By the way, I took a quick look at this battle plan, and there are still some problems—"

"You don't send armored forces or artillery regiments. Can you...can you take down Jinan City by sending out the White Russian regiment?"

In fact, Zhang Tinglan also wanted to go with him on this matter.

According to common sense, the Japanese have the largest number of troops stationed in Shandong. If they don't deploy heavy firepower, it would be difficult to gain any benefits just by thinking about it...

Yang Yuting had always believed that Marshal Yu attached so much importance to the matter of taking Shandong. If Jiang Cheng could make another contribution in this matter, it would be like helping him expand the territory of the Fengtian Army...

Then, who can shake the status of his Jiang family in the future?
But even in such an important battle, he not only did not move the tank troops, he did not even send a few cannons, but instead sent his White Russian regiment!

This really sounds like a dream.

"How much gasoline do I have?"

Jiang Cheng folded his elbows and leaned heavily on the sofa, curling his lips and saying, "Even if there is transportation via the South Manchuria Railway, the tanks will have to rush to Shandong as soon as they get off the train at Shanhaiguan."

"Let's not talk about anything else, just take the attack on Jinan City. Can you calculate how much oil it takes to go there and back? Tsk tsk, every one of those things is a gas guzzler!"

Yang Yuting frowned: "Why, you are so rich, but you still feel sorry for this little money? If we really take Shandong back, it will cost more than..."

Jiang Cheng raised his hand to interrupt him: "It's not just about gasoline. We don't know the terrain of Jilin or Shandong—"

"The most important point in infantry-tank coordination is that the terrain should not be too rugged, and there should not be too many ditches on the ground; otherwise, these iron lumps will just lie there."

"Although I have plenty of money now, you know that the Paris Peace Conference has just begun, and countries are gradually becoming cautious about arms sales... If tanks cannot be used to their full potential when deployed to the front lines, I would rather not have them deployed."

Besides this, Jiang Cheng didn't want to let those old soldiers inside the pass see his tactics so soon -

Not to mention mass production of tanks, he currently can't even make the alloy steel for tanks. In addition, fuel, ammunition, and repairs are all dependent on foreigners...

They appeared so early, not to mention others, Wu Yushuai would try every possible way to deal with them when he saw these things.

God knows what trouble will arise next. It is far better to hide all the tanks and wait a little longer until they can be mass-produced and repaired.

"If nothing else, the White Russian regiment under my command, in terms of combat effectiveness and mobility, far exceeds any heavy mixed brigade."

Jiang Cheng took the battle plan from Yang Yuting and turned to the third page. "Look, I have written down in detail... the number of people, equipment, combat strength, etc. of the White Russian Regiment."

"If nothing else, it won't be a problem at all to push all the way to the strongholds occupied by the devils."

Yang Yuting looked at him suspiciously, then took the paper from him and read it twice carefully: "These things are only for reference..."

"Feilan, how can you guarantee that your White Russian Regiment can really show such strength on the spot?" Jiang Cheng touched his chin and smiled: "Haha, actually, there is nothing much to say about this!"

"An expert will know whether there is any with just one move... Chief of Staff Yang, you just need to watch carefully how my White Russian Regiment fights, isn't that enough?"

Yang Yuting looked at him suspiciously, and the two of them couldn't help but stare at each other - and Zhang Tinglan, who was usually silent, spoke up for Jiang Cheng at this time: "Lin Ge, I think Fei Lan's trick might work."

"Because...we didn't leave Duan Zhigui behind in the battle plan, and we also brought him along to discuss it."

Are you guys - calling the person who is responsible for the incident together?

This part of Zhigui's is a bit interesting. The tanks don't move, the cannons don't move, and he is willing to be followed by a bunch of foreign soldiers?

"Oh, it seems our Commander Duan is really hungry. He can't wait to rush up when he gets a chance."

Even so, Yang Yuting still took out a pen from the inner pocket of his military uniform and signed his name with a click. "That's it! There's no need to report to the General Staff Headquarters or the Marshal's Office. I've approved it!"

Yo ho?

You are a good chief of the general staff. Now you can make all the decisions on your own?
Zhang Tinglan's eyebrows jumped, but Jiang Cheng raised his chin slightly: "You have the final say in the General Staff Department... You are not prepared for Master Shuai's side, huh?"

Yang Yuting laughed: "Just this morning, Mr. Shuai took a special car and went to Chengde with your father."

"Why, don't you know that Master Shuai values ​​Rehe very much?"

Jiang Cheng was stunned.

He hadn't heard that the Marshal had gone to his father's territory... Yes, with the great changes in Russia, there were problems along the border from time to time;

Not only in Heilongjiang Province, but also in Rehe, there were confrontations, armed fights, and even large-scale conflicts with the Russians.

"I see."

Taking back his battle plan from Yang Yuting, Jiang Cheng stood up and said, "I will send a telegram to Jilin Prefecture, ordering the White Russian Regiment to pack up and set off immediately, and take a military train to Luanzhou to wait for orders."

"Lin Ge, Ting Lan and I will go straight to Jinzhou as the forward command post for the journey south to Shandong."

Yang Yuting stood up almost at the same time as Zhang Tinglan, but this time, he put away his superiority and the sneer that always kept people at a distance;
She actually stretched out her hand and shook his hand tightly: "Feilan, I know this task is a bit heavy... but, think about it carefully, it seems that there is no one else in the entire Fengtian Army who can take it on."

Seeing that he showed such a sincere face for the first time, Jiang Cheng put away his usual cynicism and said seriously: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing..."

"Even if we cannot recover all the lost territory, our Jilin Army will surely be able to drive deep into Shandong like a nail!"

…………

1918 11 Month 7 Day.

Duan Zhigui sent a telegram to the capital, stating that the Japanese army had occupied Shandong. As a victorious country in the European war, China should recover the lost territory and take back the hometown of Confucius and Mencius.

I hope that people with lofty ideals in the interior will respond and fight back together to inflict heavy damage on the invaders! (End of this chapter)
