The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Jiang Cheng knew that this kid was really anxious and planned to join the battle immediately with his father and brother.

Judging from the current fighting posture between the Zhili and Fengtian factions, if their soldiers rushed forward it would be almost like picking up military merit for free - this kind of temptation was so tempting that not only Zhang Xuecheng but even several of his own soldiers could not resist.

You know, the Jilin Army’s military pay is the highest in the whole of China, but even so, isn’t the highest honor for a soldier the glorious military exploits?

"Brother, I understand your feelings, but you and I have no idea about the situation on the front line!"

Knowing what he was thinking, Jiang Cheng held the receiver and spoke to him anxiously, "Besides, the commander hasn't given any orders. If we rashly dispatch troops to go there, wouldn't that be breaking the rules?"

The order received by Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces was to stay behind, and what Jiang Cheng said was correct.

And most importantly: according to the timeline, Wu Peifu has already completed the rotation of defense in Luoyang with Sun Chuanfang and others, and will definitely march to Zhili as soon as possible -

Pingchuan had a hard time dealing with Sun Chuanfang, let alone fighting Cao Saner and Wu Xiucai face to face.

But to Zhang Xuecheng's ears, Jiang Cheng's words clearly sounded like he was afraid of fighting.

"Feilan, what you said is not right... My uncle and my brother didn't say anything, so does that mean we haven't done our best at all?"

"Just think about how heroic our Heavy Armored Combined Brigade is. If we charge to the front and push forward, who can stop us?"

"Now I can only stay here in the back, it's really frustrating!"

What you said makes it sound like my heavy armored combined brigade has become the private property of your Zhang family?

When we were tricked into going to retake Mongolia, you and your brothers were just watching from behind...

They talk about defending Chahar and Suiyuan, and about dealing with the Japanese who might make any moves - the ones who are really afraid of and avoid fighting are just these old warlords!

"Brother, unless it's a decisive moment, how can the tanks be easily deployed? Besides, I haven't yet..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xuecheng said unhappily: "Alright, alright, I just said a few words to you. In fact, I know in my heart that my uncle was indeed biased in the Mongolian incident. I also heard Xishun mention it before."

Jiang Cheng said quickly: "What did you say? I don't think Xishun would say that... This is most likely what our chief of staff said, right?"

Feeling the sudden silence from the other side, Jiang Cheng smiled and continued: "No matter who said this, I'm telling you the truth, don't take it to heart——"

All his words revolved around the fact that everything the Jiang family has now was given by Master Shuai... I didn't take seriously what outsiders said, and I will continue to be loyal to the Northeast in the future.

In addition, he also warned Zhang Xuecheng that there would be many opportunities to achieve success in the future, and he should not ruin the commander-in-chief's plan just for a momentary emergency.

After saying all these words, Jiang Cheng actually felt a little regretful.

How could Zhang Xuecheng like to hear these words, which sounded a bit like a teacher? Besides, how could his brother, who was of the same clan and about the same age, lead a guard brigade into battle?
Even his most irritated Guo Guizi...

Not to mention that he had been depressed by his cousin for many years, even Jiang Cheng himself would be unhappy if he were in such a situation.

"Forget it, can I be perfect in everything?"

Looking at Xu Fushan standing aside with a puzzled look in his eyes, Jiang Cheng laughed at himself and said, "But this brother Xuecheng really reminded me of something."…………

When Wu Peifu's troops arrived in Liangxiang, the Fengtian Army was in the midst of a fierce battle with Cao Kun's troops. Both sides were exhausted. Cao Kun, who was personally supervising the battle at the front line, was very happy to see Zhang Xiyuan coming to the rescue, and went to the station to greet him in person.

This man was a famous general under Wu, who was particularly good at attacking. Before he arrived, the Zhi army's trenches were seriously short of troops, and their spirits were low and their morale was low. Zhang Xiyuan's reinforcements rekindled their fighting spirit.

The commander of the Fengtian Army attacking from the west was Ji Jinchun. He thought that the Zhili Army had been defeated and was no longer able to fight and could launch a general attack at any time.

However, at this time, the offensive from the opposite side suddenly became much fiercer, and even many troops began to encircle the area, leaving Ji Jinchun and his troops confused.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the vicious Wu Peifu actually issued an order for a general attack.

The Fengtian Army, known as the "bearded soldiers", showed their "excellent" qualities under the continuous landing of shells and volleys of weapons.

The generals were the first to abandon their subordinates and flee, and then everyone from top to bottom ran for their lives. Everyone was in danger and saw enemies everywhere.

In fact, even if they retreated, they should have had a breakout in front and a rear guard. However, the Fengtian Army, who was so anxious that they red-eyed, didn't care about these things. They all fled in panic, and some even threw away their guns.

What’s even more infuriating is that this bunch of funny old soldiers have extremely poor military discipline. They are not good at fighting, but they are very good at harassing ordinary people - they even steal and rob wherever they go, and the local people are so angry that they keep scolding them for being so immoral.

The most fatal thing was not these, because Ji Jinchun's troops fled with their troops, and even blocked Jiang Lanxuan's way to the east. The two sides pushed and shoved each other, which seriously hindered the speed of reinforcements, so that Zhang Zuoxiang on the east route did not receive any help and suffered a defeat.

It took two full days for the news to be transmitted back to the front-line command post in Luanzhou.

Come to think of it, even if they had time to send a telegram while escaping, they would not dare to do so - this information was sent back by Gao Wensheng in Langfang.

Yang Yuting was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that a battle that seemed like a crushing victory would be fought like this by these old soldiers.

The news that Zhang Zuoxiang on the east route was forced to evacuate also came. Yang Yuting gasped and could hardly stand:

The eastern corps retreated, the western corps fled, and the only battle line became the central corps;

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat: It's over! The one who attacked the middle was none other than the elite guard brigade of the Fengtian Army led by Zhang Hanqing and Guo Songling!
If it were someone else, would Yang Yuting be so nervous?

But with his own son in front of him, all his strategies were quite conservative: he let him play in the middle, thinking that with Ji Jinchun and Zhang Zuoxiang, nothing would happen to him.

Who would have thought that these two old people would not care about anything at all and actually...

There was a loud bang behind him, and Yang Yuting turned around in shock:

No matter how incompetent he is as the Chief of the General Staff, he will not allow others to break into his command post so brazenly.

Just as he opened his mouth to scold, the man's cold gaze made him shudder:
He never expected that seeing the war so chaotic, the Marshal would actually come to Luanzhou in person from Shanhaiguan!
"Handsome, handsome man!"

Yang Yuting, who was usually calm and composed, was so shocked that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence. It took him a long time to calm down and stand at attention to salute. (End of this chapter)
