The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

“Feilan…”

Yang Yuting was immediately shocked, and turned towards him quickly, staring at Jiang Cheng in a daze, and almost blurted out:

Xiao Xu, which Xiao Xu are you talking about?

There was no need to answer him anymore. Everyone... saw Xu Shuzheng, dressed in the khaki standard uniform of the Fengtian Army and wearing a military cap, walking into the room in a straight line.

You little bastard, you, you actually dug him over here! ?

Yang Yuting's face turned purple.

After the Zhi-An War, the dispute between the government and the parliament surrounding the capital city immediately followed.

When the defeated Old Duan fled, Xiao Xu followed closely behind his master.

Yang Yuting knew very well that this old classmate was much more ruthless than Duan Qirui and knew too many of his secrets, so he made a plan to sabotage him halfway.

They were not killed... Yes, those idiots must have done it in Shandong and must have been discovered by Hai Pingchuan!
Just as Yang Yuting was furious, Jiang Cheng took the lead and walked a few steps towards Master Shuai: "Master, it's not that I don't want to report to you--"

"You promised me before that I would just reply to your question regarding future personnel appointments. Haha, it's a little late now, but I didn't say nothing, did I?"

The Marshal clearly wanted to curse, the corners of his mouth twitched repeatedly twice, but in the end he said nothing.

Changing generals in the middle of a battle is a taboo in military strategy... and this little bastard has a tank corps and a fierce artillery corps at his disposal;

Besides, if they, father and son, do not take the lead in this Northern Expedition, they will have to do it themselves - and by then, when they face the Russians, there is no telling how heavy the losses will be!
We have finally recovered some money through the Japanese and the "Mongolian Conquest Fee". How can we spit out the fat meat in our mouths just because of the small Mobei area?

"As for the knowledge of Kulun and other areas, who among you present knows more than him?"

Jiang Cheng dragged Xu Shuzheng, who looked at a loss and terrified, to the Marshal. His voice was full of unquestionable firmness. "Sir, I have thought about it again and again. Letting him lead the front is the best choice!"

Everyone, including the Marshal himself, was speechless.

After making up his mind, the Marshal's face darkened a little, and he said coldly: "In the future, if you are going to be given such an important appointment, please tell me in advance--"

"Otherwise, I would have thought you were getting cocky."

But the topic did not continue. The Marshal turned around, took the battle plan, and handed it over to his chief of staff: "I don't care about anything else. Take Kulun back to me within three months."

Within three months?
You've been delayed for half a year.

Jiang Cheng glanced at his determined expression, but Wu Junsheng rushed to say, "Marshal Yu, we should rescue Suiyuan first, and then..."

Yang Yuting, who had already quickly reviewed the battle plan, interrupted him and said, "Master Wu, a large number of your troops are currently concentrated in Manchuria. If you really go to rescue Ji Jinchun, it is not the business of the front army—"

"Your current action should be to start from Manchuria and be ready to respond to the White Army in the Chahar Border Region at any time!"

Wu Junsheng's train of thought was immediately disrupted, and he had to turn his gaze to the Marshal, but the old fox seemed to have made up his mind to smooth things over and did not say a word.

Thus, for the first time, the entire combat command center was plunged into controversy.

Yang Yuting meant that someone would rescue Ji Jinchun now, and he was now tying down a large number of White Army troops - if too many troops went to rescue him, it would undoubtedly be like adding fuel to the fire.

Wu Junsheng said that Ji Jinchun was a veteran of the Fengtian Army and was currently responsible for the safety of Suiyuan, so he could not be left there without any care.

In addition, if Suiyuan was lost, wouldn’t all the Marshal’s early preparations be in vain?

Yang Yuting slammed the table and said, if it is lost, it is better to give up this territory that cannot be defended - after all, the appointment has been made in the capital, Suiyuan is the territory of their Fengtian Army, even if there are changes in generals in the future, it is better than sending limited troops into the fire pit now.

The two groups started fighting, but Jiang Lanxuan, the host, immediately tried to smooth things over by saying that everyone had their own considerations and that Chief of Staff Yang was also worried that the troops would suffer too heavy losses.

"What the hell! They say the Japanese are behind this. If we don't beat them back soon... then, won't northern Mongolia become the second Siberia? "

Wu Junsheng was rarely seen with such a bright and angry expression——

The Battle of Harbin caused him to lose his beloved daughter. Now, whenever he heard that there were Japanese somewhere, he would rush up to them and eat them alive.

"I think what the Chief of General Staff said makes sense."

After some consideration, Jiang Cheng slowly spoke, "Unlike Rehe and Chahar, Suiyuan's terrain is relatively flat and almost indefensible."

"It is certain that Ji Jinchun will not be able to hold on - our best option is to use highly mobile armored forces to attack Kulun directly!"

After saying this, Jiang Cheng pointed to the large map hanging in the headquarters and said, "My reconnaissance plane reported that the White Army found Chahar's troops and fled all the way, and it was as if they were entering an uninhabited area. On the contrary, their defense of northern Meng and even Kulun was quite empty."

"My armored forces, in coordination with the cavalry and high-speed vehicles, can break through all the road checkpoints at the fastest speed... Let's launch a 'blitzkrieg' against him!"

Blitz?
Everyone repeated the word in a daze.

This style of fighting was almost a replica of Sandzi's later surprise attack on Poland - on the ground were tanks and armored vehicles, coordinated with cars, motorcycles, cavalry and other fast-moving troops, while in the sky were aircraft that already had attack capabilities.

No matter how many defense troops there are on the ground, or what important checkpoints there are on the road, they all rush to the rear command post like a cross-border deployment.

Coupled with fierce suppressive firepower in the front line, this style of play almost swept across all of Europe during World War II.

"Is this okay?"

Yang Yuting was the first to come to his senses. He stared at Jiang Cheng for a moment, then quickly turned to Xu Shuzheng, who immediately replied, "Reply to the Chief of Staff!"

"We have been practicing this tactic in Rehe for two months. And the reason I attacked and conquered Kulun before was that I relied on swiftness."

"Kulun happens to be located at the junction of many roads in Mongolia, so this kind of warfare method is the best choice."

After he finished speaking, he stood straight and remained silent, as if waiting for approval from his superiors...

However, having successfully broken through the opposite city, he had great confidence in this upgraded version of the "flash attack" tactic.

He was sure that no matter whether it was the White Army or the malicious Russians and Japanese, they would not have time to react and could only give up Kulun obediently. (End of this chapter)
