The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"In addition, in addition to the discovery of some different corpses, there were people infiltrating the city, poisoning people... and there were also people who deceived the people, inciting rebellion, looting and provoking trouble. These were all the work of the Japanese devils."

After the leader of the vanguard army finished speaking, everyone was shocked. Hai Rusong reacted the most and straightened his back immediately: "What did you say? There are actually Japanese devils in Kulun City?"

Jiang Cheng was rather indifferent: "Xiao Xu, why didn't I see you reporting this in the battle report from the front line?"

Although the highest commander's words were calm and gentle, he could clearly sense that Jiang Cheng was vaguely unhappy.

He quickly stood up and stood at attention. Xu Shuzheng said that the Japanese had infiltrated the city to spread unfavorable information, attacked the warehouses in the city, and led the civilians to take advantage of the fire to loot and rob supplies.

He also reported his plans to poison the city's water sources, spy on military secrets, and so on one by one, and then he straightened up and said, "It is my fault that I did not report it in time... But there are some details, please listen to my report, Master Jiang."

Jiang Cheng's eyes were silent, and he raised his chin to signal him to continue.

The latter immediately straightened his back, pressed his hands firmly on his trouser line, and continued: "Master Jiang, although the Japanese devils have caused a lot of trouble in the city, they have not accomplished anything from beginning to end."

"Not only that, with the help of the people in the city, we have also captured a number of Japanese spies in succession. Master Jiang, I am not flattering you: this time we were able to successfully carry out a counterattack like everyone was a soldier, thanks to the philosophy you taught us on a daily basis—"

"Always maintain a close relationship with the people... The two major attacks launched by the Russians recently were all thanks to the assistance of the people in the city, otherwise we would never have been able to win."

He said that he was not flattering - but there was still some element of flattery in his words.

Jiang Cheng was pleased to hear this, but he also knew that Xu Shuzheng was right:
In fact, he was also accompanied by the Snow Fox agent who was stationed next to him.

Although it is an advantage of being a superior to trust people when you employ them, but there is a limit to everything... Complete trust is definitely not a good thing -

In fact, he knew all the big and small situations in Kulun when the radio was connected. He asked this question more or less to test Xu Shuzheng's character.

"You all have seen it, the people's will cannot be deceived, and the people's will cannot be abandoned! As long as the people's will is in our favor, we will be invincible!"

"From my earliest defense of Dapingzhuang, to Harbin Vladivostok, to the current battle of Kulun, all of them have proved that as long as we always adhere to the mass line, we will be invincible."

Everyone echoed this. From the subsequent series of battles, they truly realized Jiang Cheng's good intentions of "reorganizing the army" and forging the troops into a new type of force.

Seeing that everyone's eyes quickly cleared up, Jiang Cheng continued: "So far, the White Army in Suiyuan and Chahar has been completely eliminated--"

"The transport troops led by Feng Yong will also arrive by train from Manzhouli soon...According to his report, they did not encounter any trouble along the way, not even a single bandit or roadblock."

Xu Shuzheng was a little surprised: "If there is no trouble, the journey is more than four days, how come Feng Yong's troops have not reached Kulun yet? Could it be..."

He didn't say the second half of his sentence, but Jiang Cheng was very clear about his subtext, so he took a deep breath and continued: "It is very likely... Even though we haven't made it clear to the Russians yet;"

"But we know very well that our opponents in this Kulun offensive and defensive battle are the Russians. And the Russians are probably also very clear about this. We know that they have entered the country and that the two sides have already fought."

"But since the other side hasn't broken through this layer of paper, there's no need for us to make this clear." Pan Sheng looked confused: "You mean... just, just attack blindly? Continue to treat them as the White Army?"

Xu Shuzheng immediately expressed a different opinion: "In two consecutive offensive and defensive battles, we not only seized tanks, Soviet-made artillery guns, etc., but also captured more than a hundred Russian prisoners."

"Even if the higher-ups don't say it, these people have admitted their identities."

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyebrows and smiled, his tone not without sarcasm: "Haha... In Rehe, I have met many high-ranking officials from the Russian side, but they always avoid talking about sending troops."

Wang Junshan looked around at everyone and laughed first: "Jiang Cheng, don't say that I am arrogant - I think this old Russian is scared, right?"

Xu Shuzheng lowered his eyes with an uneasy look on his face: "In my humble opinion, things may not be that simple--"

"You know, according to your order, Master Jiang, the Heavy Armored Combined Brigade will advance all the way to the border after taking Kulun."

"If it is a small force, it is possible to bypass the heavy armored combined brigade and enter the country - but the Russians are marching south with nearly a hundred tanks, cavalry, artillery and other troops, and the number of combatants will not be less than 10,000;"

"If we add in the logistical support, the total number of troops would probably be more than 20,000. With such a large number of troops entering the country, the brothers at the border didn't react at all?"

Having said this, everyone turned their eyes, some questioning, some surprised, and some even dissatisfied, to Xiao Shupeng, who was sitting at the end of the long table.

After Zhang Xuecheng resigned from the Heavy Armored Combined Brigade, his deputy Pan Sheng took over. Xiao Shupeng was an old subordinate of Zhang Xuecheng and a reliable regimental commander.

This time, he was responsible for leading the entire brigade to the border and building fortifications along the border.

This was the first time that Xiao Shupeng attended a meeting of this level. Facing so many senior executives, he stood up in shock and even nervously knocked over the water cup at hand.

"Don't be nervous, just tell me everything--"

Seeing the uneasiness of this new generation, Jiang Cheng smiled gently and said, "Even if there are any mistakes, aren't there brothers who can fill them up? As long as you strictly follow the orders!"

But even though he said that, Xiao Shupeng still stuttered when answering.

According to his description, after the tank troops advanced to the border along the entire line, they did strictly implement Jiang Cheng's orders and continued to advance more than 30 miles deep into the Russian territory.

The fortifications were also built along the direction facing Mongolia. Logically speaking, they had defended all the important transportation routes.

"There are one or two assassins along the Baikal Lake area. With such a big gap, it is not impossible for them to kill their way in from here."

Xu Shuzheng turned around and pointed at the Mongolian map that everyone was leaning against. "Although there are no roads over there, the surrounding areas are flat and plains..." (End of this chapter)
