The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

You should know that since the end of the Qing Dynasty, smoking opium has become a trend throughout China, and the army is no exception.

In order to control their soldiers, some warlords even deliberately made the lower-level soldiers addicted to smoking.

There is no need to mention the combat effectiveness, it is good enough to be able to stand firm.

Seeing this large group of Russians rushing towards us ferociously, some threw away their weapons, some took off their military uniforms, and the whole street was filled with all kinds of junk.

In addition, Zheng Shiqi, this idiot, not only likes to make money and plunder the people, but has also caused public resentment... Even if the soldiers were not killed in the first round and had a chance to escape, they were either beaten to death or injured by angry civilians, or were turned away.

Most of the defeated Jinan defenders were killed, and only a few who were lucky enough to escape successfully.

The cavalry troops that had been waiting in the outer city followed leisurely.

The speed of the White Russian cavalry is actually much faster than that of the infantry...but these evil Russians are so bad that they just follow them quietly.

You know, since November, even if it is not as cold as the Northeast outside the Great Wall;

But in the wilds of Shandong, the temperature has already dropped to freezing point... Especially for this group of old soldiers who were hurriedly driven out of the city, their clothes were still thin.

In addition, they were being chased and forced to flee in panic, suffering from hunger and cold, and extreme fear... many of them collapsed on the roadside.

And Vasily sent his cavalry to chase them along the line like pigs, with more than just the purpose of humiliating and teasing them.

What's more, they planned to use these soldiers to attack the various "foreign forces" near Shandong, especially the Japanese.

Therefore, the soldiers who were running around in panic were helped by these Russian cavalrymen to successfully visit many strongholds one by one.

These strongholds were collected by Vasily and Ivan and reported to Jiang Cheng in Jinzhou.

"Look at you old Russians, you really have some tricks up your sleeve!"

With the cooperation of Zhang Tinglan, Jiang Cheng marked the sphere of influence around Jinan on a map of Shandong provided by the General Staff Headquarters.

"I never thought that the Japanese had infiltrated near Jinan."

Staring at the large and small dots and triangles marked on the map, Liu Runchuan's face became very solemn.

The temperature has dropped sharply in the past few days and his boss Sun Liechen has fallen ill again, but Old Liu still goes about his routine and comes to the command center for a visit every day.

Jiang Cheng responded casually, then stood up and asked with his hands on his hips, "Old Liu, is my sixth uncle okay? I heard that he coughed so badly that he couldn't sleep all night."

Historically, Sun Liechen and Feng Delin were both famous short-lived generals in the Fengtian Army...especially the capable and battle-hardened Sun Laoliu, who held several positions because he was so capable.

Reorganizing the troops, setting up a new military academy and preparing to build an air force... he worked himself into an ill body;
On the eve of the Second Zhi-Feng War, Sun Liechen, who had been ill for many years, died at the age of 52.

"It's been so many years, and our master is still in such a bad shape - have you forgotten that he was coughing and wheezing during the battle between you and Xinmin?"

At this point, Liu Runchuan couldn't help but sigh, "It's been an old problem for many years. It happens every winter and I can't sleep all night."

Is it asthma?
Jiang Cheng blinked. When he killed Tang Erhu and Zhang Laowu before, he had the idea of ​​changing the fate of some people.

First he recruited Jiang Dengxuan, and then he kept looking for more talents.

If he had lived a few more years...how could the Japanese be so proud?

Not to mention the subsequent Anti-Japanese War, even in the two Zhi-Feng Wars, this senior general of the Fengtian Army could make the situation more favorable to them!
"Come on, take me to see Uncle Six."

Jiang Cheng put down the red and blue pencil in his hand and stood up, "I should have some ideas!"…………

Just after Duan Zhigui captured the city of Jinan in a lightning speed, the capital was unexpectedly silent.

Regardless of whether it was Feng Guozhang, Xu Shichang, or Cao Kun, who was gradually becoming a powerful local tyrant, they all remained silent at the same time:

No one had any objection to Duan Zhigui's march south to attack the city of Jinan... let alone any objection, no one even took the matter seriously.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Shandong is not his direct sphere of influence... Moreover, due to geographical reasons, foreign powers have fought wars here one after another;
Although there are not many Germans in Shandong now, the Japanese are still entrenched here, and their presence is getting bigger and bigger.

Who among the Japanese could have done this?
No matter where Duan Zhigui got his soldiers from, his dispute with Zheng Shiqi was only a turf dispute.

Besides...this war was "initiated" by Feng Guozhang.

It was obvious that this was a trick played by the old fox Zhang to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but they just didn't have the slightest temper.

"Hey, wasn't this caused by them?"

After the commander-in-chief in the mansion received Jiang Cheng's battle report, he was so happy that his eyes widened with laughter.

Sitting on the rattan chair, he raised his eyelids to look at Yang Yuting who was standing beside him seriously. He continued to laugh and said, "This first battle was fought well, but the next one..."

"Has this brat ever told you how he was going to perform this big show?"

Yang Yuting shook his head silently... Compared to the extremely happy expression of Shuai Ye, his expression remained silent.

"what happened?"

Seeing him like this, Marshal Zhang quickly put away his smile;

Yang Yuting handed another secret report to his boss: "Marshal Yu, this is the news from the front line sent back by my spy--"

"Jiang Feilan is using the White Russian Regiment this time... to put it bluntly, it's a group of mercenaries exiled to our Northeast."

"They burned, killed, and looted along the way, and did a lot of bad things... In addition, after they captured Jinan City, they drove out Zheng Shiqi's remaining troops and chased them all over Shandong."

"Wherever these soldiers went, the White Russian cavalry would plunder them. Marshal Yu, I am afraid that these things will be used as excuses by others."

In fact, Jiang Cheng had already given both of them a heads-up about this matter in advance.

But neither of them had imagined that once the White Russian Regiment was deployed, the military discipline would be so bad.

Even though Duan Zhigui went out under the banner of the Anhui clique, everyone could see from his bald head that this was the work of the Northeast.

"No one is saying anything right now, but if we really want to investigate, it will be a real hassle."

The Marshal rubbed his chin.

Although the Beiyang people were suspicious of each other, they still maintained a "peace" with the capital as the supreme leader.

If things really get out of hand, it won't just be a matter of face, and the so-called "Northern Expedition" could really happen.

"Is there any follow-up report from the brat in Jinzhou? What is he going to do next?" (End of this chapter)
