The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"Yes, if the tanks lead the way, followed by a team of cavalry carrying supplies in trucks, it would be easy to carve out a path on the grassland."

Jiang Cheng nodded thoughtfully, "It's just April, and the frozen ground hasn't completely melted yet, which will be a natural help for their troops to advance."

As if to confirm their speculation, when the meeting was discussing the next course of action, the reconnaissance company sent back a message -

As soon as Xu Shuzheng captured Kulun, he sent out all his scouts to "pave the way", and in the past two days, troops have returned one after another.

Just as they guessed, although the Russians used the excuse of entering the country to eliminate Enqin and sent a joint telegram to the capital to "make demands", in fact they had been sneaking in in small groups:

Even before Xu Shuzheng took back Kulun from the White Army, the Russians had already taken advantage of the geographical location to deploy some mechanized troops into the territory.

"Assuming that they have been deploying troops here against Mongolia and gathering in secret...then they will definitely continue to declare war!"

Xu Shuzheng gritted his teeth and said, "What I am most worried about is not the Russians in the country, because they have not officially declared war yet. It must be because of the consecutive exploratory wars that they are coveting our strength to some extent."

"And once we make up our minds to declare war on all fronts, what I fear most is the devils behind us!"

He is not the only one who has such worries.
When the Jilin Army was advancing on all fronts, Sun Zhengnan twice advised Jiang Cheng that he was worried that the Japanese in Japan's Korea would suddenly find an excuse to invade Jilin.

"Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater - but, I suddenly have an idea."

Jiang Cheng knocked on the table and smiled. "Since the Japanese are secretly colluding with the Russians, why don't we..."

…………

Just as the military meeting was over, a military train carrying reinforcements, supplies, and various weapons and ammunition from Manzhouli was escorted to Kulun by Feng Yong.

Jiang Cheng stepped forward and shook hands with his good brother firmly, and asked him about the conditions along the route.

As he reported, except for the slower speed when leaving customs, they did not encounter any trouble in the operation of the entire line.

"It seems that the Russians are quite responsible. They have no intention of taking our goods at all."

Hearing Jiang Cheng's teasing tone, Feng Yong couldn't help but ask a few more questions. But when he heard him say that it was the Russians who attacked Kulun, he was really scared -

You have to know that Chen Bing had seen many Russians along the way. If they had really rushed up all at once, his head would have been smashed into a dog's head.

"Don't be afraid. If the Russians really wanted to take advantage of you, they would have done it when you were changing cars in Udinsk."

Jiang Cheng patted his shoulder and asked for some details.

What is certain is that his speculation was correct: these Russians must have been instigated by the Japanese and wanted to get some benefits from Mongolia.

But now, instead of getting a bargain, they lost not only their troops but also more than half of the tanks they had just developed and produced...

Not to mention anything else, given the temperament of the Slavs, the coach might even be taken back and shot.

"I'm afraid the confrontation has already taken place because of Xiao Xu's two beautiful battles... but they are still entering the country in small groups and gathering, and they obviously haven't completely given up the possibility of using force." Jiang Cheng said lightly, "It's not time to break this window paper yet, but - we have to try to break this deadlock."

…………

That night, Wu Junsheng, who was guarding the vicinity of Fengtian, suddenly had a small-scale conflict with the Japanese troops near Liutiaohu opposite Beidaying.

The reason was actually a bit bizarre. A few Kwantung Army soldiers who were drunk in a nearby inn actually ran to the camp where Wu Junsheng was stationed, sang Japanese songs, urinated everywhere, and even fired blanks.

He already hated the Japanese because of his daughter's matter, and now the Japanese provoked him to the extreme. As a horse herder, he rushed out with his son Tae-hoon and gave them a meal of stir-fried pork strips with horsewhip.

This really made the Japanese very angry - for the past two or three years, because of their cooperation with Zhang Yuting, the Kwantung Army in Fengtian Province had been accustomed to being domineering and overbearing. They were the only ones who could bully others, so who would dare to resist?
The enraged Japs crossed Liutiao Lake and the railway and headed straight for Beidaying.

This made things even more ridiculous. Beidaying was the garrison of Liu Runchuan's troops, and Wu Junsheng was three or four miles away from him... As soon as the fighting started in Beidaying, Wu Junsheng immediately joined in when he heard that the Japanese were here to cause trouble.

At this moment, the Marshal was meeting with the Japanese Minister Kentaro Ochiai. The two sides were negotiating more in-depth cooperation, including building roads, arsenals, etc. The sound of artillery fire outside the city gave them a big fright.

By the time the situation was clarified and the three parties who were in a blood-thirsty mood were pinned down, the vicious incident had already caused more than 30 deaths and hundreds of injuries.

The Marshal's face turned green - the three areas of Suiyuan in the north, including Mongolia, had just been peaceful, and he was just trying to squeeze some more benefits out of the Japanese, but then such a big thing happened.

As a result, the situation in Fengtian became a big deal, and all the eyes of the Japanese army were on this side... On the other side, Uehara Yusaku, who originally intended to send troops from Korea, suddenly received an order from his superiors to keep his troops in place and be ready to respond to any large-scale conflict that might break out in Fengtian Province at any time.

What they didn't know was that this incident was not caused by the Kwantung Army, but was secretly done by Jiang Cheng who ordered Zhang Tinglan, who was guarding his hometown, and their Japanese "friend" Ueno Minghe.

He contacted several Japanese ronin from the Fengtian Black Dragon Society, pretended to be Japanese soldiers to provoke Wu Junsheng's troops, and then brought the war to Beidaying... setting fire to the devil's backyard, everyone's attention would naturally be focused here.

The transfer of contradictions will naturally create a gap.

Jiang Cheng took advantage of this precious time and ordered Xu Shuzheng to lead the team, accompanied by Vasily and others, to escort Enqin to the Soviet military headquarters in the Baikal region.

Xu Shuzheng respectfully handed over the White Army leader, and also brought Jiang Cheng's sincerity.

Including daily necessities such as food and vegetables, and said that the territory near Irkutsk could be negotiated, after all, China and Russia have always cooperated, etc.

During the negotiation process, Jiang Cheng was not idle on the Mongolian side. As the scouts reported back one after another, the entire Northern Expedition Army had rested and immediately adjusted to a combat posture.

"Xiao Xu is still negotiating with the Russians. We have to fight this battle, but we can't hurt the Russians. We need to weaken them so that they will learn a lesson."

Jiang Cheng tapped the black dot on the map several times, "Here——"

Hai Rushong, Wang Junshan and others finished what he had not finished saying at the same time: "The little Japanese... Great, we finally caught them."

That night, Hai Rusong led his troops along the line:

When the Japanese invaded Siberia, they sent troops to the Caucasus region in order to divert conflicts. (End of this chapter)
