The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Seeing her infinitely resentful appearance, Jiang Cheng stood up with a smile and hugged her slender waist and kissed her again and again: "Okay, can I go to your room to accompany you tonight?"

Zhang Tingxue's face lit up, and she pretended to be angry and pushed him away: "Don't come here! You should go accompany Sister Xin or Xiaoyu tonight. They don't miss you——"

Jiang Cheng raised his hand to pinch her soft and fair face, but before he could say anything, he was startled when the door was pushed open...

Wan Chenglan was carried in by two guards from home. She had a lot of bandages wrapped around her waist and looked pale. When she saw Jiang Cheng, she immediately became excited: "Master Jiang, I, I——"

Seeing Hai Hui's worried and confused expression, Jiang Cheng hesitated to speak. His eyebrows trembled slightly, and he turned around and asked them to carry Wan Chenglan to the bed and let him lie down to talk.

Because of the war in Shandong, Wan Chenglan sent many agents to the customs to assist Hai Pingchuan in intelligence work, etc.
He received a tip-off that there were unusual movements in Baoding and that there were plans to attack Luanzhou.

You know, this is the strategic point of the Fengtian Army - just like Shanhaiguan, it can be used for attack or defense, and Luanzhou is also a very important transportation hub and distribution center.

If Baoding blocks Luanzhou, the equipment and reinforcements that Jiang Cheng "borrowed" from Jinzhou may not be delivered to Jinan Prefecture at all.

Wan Chenglan understood that this matter was of great importance, so he immediately took a few people to Tianjin and other places to spy on military intelligence.

But what he didn't expect was that on his way back, he found someone was following him.

Wan Chenglan didn't take these tails seriously at all. He even killed two of them in Shanhaiguan, and exchanged them for military horses at the inn to continue his journey north.

"But, but when I got off the train in Siping, I was stabbed... cough cough, it took me a lot of effort to get back to the capital. Master Jiang, Master Jiang, I... am really useless!"

Jiang Cheng's face was as black as ink.

In the northeastern territory, even a high-ranking official like Wan Chenglan was ambushed?

"In other words, your identity has been exposed, and you were chased all the way back?"

He took a deep breath and coldly examined his subordinates. "Then let me ask you, why didn't the intelligence get back to the capital? Also, you said you killed a few people on the way. Did you figure out who they were..."

Wan Chenglan smiled bitterly: "Master Jiang, the reason why we didn't send back the information is because Tianjin is prosperous and peaceful, and Baoding is almost the same. Cao San'er doesn't even appear every day, hiding in his home smoking opium and playing cards..."

"His staff is also sparse. Now the Zhi army seems to be just Sun Chuanfang who is slightly on guard, but nothing serious has happened."

Jiang Cheng's brows furrowed even more. "Then your tip is wrong? That's unlikely. Have you sent anyone to Luoyang to check?"

The one Jiang Cheng was most worried about was the one in Luoyang... Even though Ivanov and his fleet had used the tactic of besieging Wei to save Zhao, the conflict between Jinan Prefecture and Tai'an had been slightly resolved, but Wu Peifu's grandson had long been eyeing the fat piece of meat in Shandong.

"That fellow is likely to send troops directly to Shandong under the pretext of 'resisting foreign invasion'. That would be bad for us."

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and stared at the distracted Wan Chenglan, "You've been targeted. Apparently your identity has been exposed—"

"Take good care of yourself first, and I'll arrange for you to go to a suitable place later."

For secret agents, the most important thing is identity... No matter how clever the disguise is, once the identity is exposed, it will be unsafe.

But Wan Chenglan struggled to stand up and continued to report. He believed that the people who followed might not be from the Zhi army, but might be sent by the Japanese.

Because the Jilin Army is getting stronger and stronger, and there is a heavy-armored combined brigade - the possibility of the Japanese wanting to fight head-on is too small;

"But why are they targeting you? Unless..." Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Have you made any important discoveries? Are the devils planning to plot something in Zhengjiatun?"

Wan Chenglan shook his head bitterly: "Master Jiang, I am really useless. I, I am not sure!"

It turned out that on the day he settled in Siping, he discovered a very strange horse team.

There are many horse teams coming to Guandong these days, most of them are traveling merchants or escort agencies.

But this cavalry was none of these, instead it was just men and women wandering around with all sorts of strange instruments.

Their final destination was obviously not Siping, but rather Zhengjiatun along the railway.

Wan Chenglan followed but lost him. After finding nothing in the vicinity, he had to turn back. However, when he returned to Siping and planned to take the train back to the capital, he was ambushed.

"I'm not sure if it was because of them that I was attacked in Fengtian—"

Wan Chenglan lowered his head and gasped uncomfortably, then raised his head with difficulty after a long while, "Because there were too many things I encountered along the way, I really can't be sure whether they were sent by the Zhi army or the Japanese devils-"

Most of them are devils.

Jiang Cheng patted his shoulder and told him to rest first: Wan Chenglan is not a disorganized person... After losing so much blood from a knife wound in the abdomen, he still managed to escape back to Jilin Prefecture with great difficulty, which obviously took a lot of trouble.

Therefore, it is understandable that some of the language is incoherent and poorly organized.

The Japanese still refused to give up. As for those people who were wandering around carrying instruments, Snow Fox had caught many of them in Jilin.

What they were engaged in was espionage, exploring resources, gathering intelligence, secretly demarcating the Fengtian Army's garrisons, etc.

"They have already reached Zhengjiatun. Doesn't that mean they are targeting Mongolia?"

While talking to himself, Jiang Cheng had already drawn a simple political map in his mind.

On the third day after taking back the entire Mongolian territory, he ordered his family to draw up a construction plan to build a railway through Zhengjiatun, directly to Kulun and connect with Chita.

Hai Huixin took over the conversation softly and said, "Master, although I don't really understand men's plans, I always feel that there must be something fishy going on here."

"You drove the Japanese away from Mongolia and killed their leader, Minamoto Yoshimasa. How can these people just let it go?"

Staring at Wan Chenglan, who was drowsy and unconscious on the bed, Jiang Cheng thought: "Yes, the devils in Japanese-occupied Korea can't do anything fancy, and the devils in Shandong have been stolen by us again."

"They are very likely to send Japanese spies to Mongolia to cause trouble - after all, they can't beat us head-on."

Hai Hui was worried: "Master, I am worried about Xiao Xu. Everyone knows that you value him and he has worked hard to get Mongolia back for you and is now repairing it after the war."

"Since these devils have attacked Wan Chenglan, will they also attack Xiao Xu..."

Jiang Cheng shook his head silently, and after a while, he nodded again.

Although the two armies were at war, neither of them really liked to go towards their respective leaders;
But can the devils think like normal people?
These guys even killed their prime minister, and they still like to do some kind of rebellion, punishment from heaven - (End of this chapter)
