The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"After the General Staff decided to make Luanzhou the distribution center for evacuation, all the available machinery in the city was moved out of the city to repair fortifications."

Bai Haochen began to report: In fact, ever since Jiang Cheng captured Luanzhou, which served as the bridgehead of the Fengtian Army in the interior, Jilin has been using the Beijing-Fengtian Railway to transport weapons and various construction materials here.

The turrets and bunkers have been almost completed, and the trenches just need to be rebuilt according to Jiang Cheng's requirements.

"Let the trucks pave the way ahead, and set up the barbed wire and anti-cavalry trenches as usual!"

Jiang Cheng shouted orders at the city defense map.

It wasn't that he had deliberately raised his voice so loudly, but the city was now filled with the hustle and bustle of the defeated soldiers;
They were all frightened by the fierce artillery fire and attack of the Zhi army. Now they were blocked in Luanzhou and wanted to escape. Everyone was shouting and yelling, and there was obviously a possibility of mutiny.

"We can't even send out trains now. Where can we run to?"

"That's what I said. We were told to run for our lives... run for our lives. Now everyone has come here, but there's no train!"

"Don't worry about whether it's a train or not. Just get out of the way and let's run back to Shanhaiguan by ourselves!"

Hearing the noise outside getting louder and louder, Jiang Cheng quickly gave the last bit of orders, then turned and looked out the window.

The temporary command post where he was located was converted from Bai Haochen's office, and its rear window faced a square at the assembly area.

The soldiers, all nervous, were shouting and some even started charging at the roadblocks with their guns drawn.

"Isn't there any supervisor in charge of this matter?"

Li Shitou hesitated and immediately put his hand on the pistol at his waist, "Master Jiang... I think you shouldn't have risked coming here. These soldiers are scared to death. What if..."

This time, Jiang Cheng did not blame him for talking too much.

It was because he understood this that he brought Zhang Xuecheng and Feng Yong to the front line.

Because his strength was growing stronger and stronger, even if he used Yu Fengzhi as a link to do business with the Zhang family and hand over the profits every year...the Marshal also developed covetous thoughts under Yang Yuting's "instigation".

"Given Marshal Zhang's character, he will definitely remember the kindness of helping someone in need."

Jiang Cheng leaned over and smiled at his loyal guard commander, "Come on, follow me and take a look."

Upon hearing what he said, Li Shitou immediately stopped him: "Hey, Mr. Jiang, please don't make fun of me..."

"We've already given the money to Mr. Shuai, and we've told him exactly what to do. Don't go join in the fun now!"

Jiang Cheng just glared and wanted to curse, but he saw Han Ming, Xu Fushan and others standing around the door with nervous faces, clearly on full alert because of the increasingly chaotic scene.

Xu Fushan was the first to step forward with his hand on the pistol on his waist: "Don't worry, Master Jiang, no matter what the situation is, we brothers can protect you and leave!"

Although he was moved by the loyalty of these brothers, Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a loud roar coming from the square behind him.

Several people turned around at the same time, and sure enough, they saw the thin figure of the Marshal wearing a large cloak and making an impassioned speech in front of the crowd.

The basic meaning is, when it comes to running away, I am more anxious than you are, but there are only so many trains and cars in Fengtian——

Brothers, don't worry, we have food and drink in Luanzhou, just wait here for a few days. After seeing this highly contagious leader say this, the soldiers present quickly became quiet.

Soon, everyone's expressions became confused... Jiang Cheng could see clearly that these people knew that they were defeated soldiers and deserters -

But seeing that the headquarters was here, all the officers of the general staff were here, even their high and mighty commander was here.

Not only did the official not take the lead in running, but he also spoke so politely... What does this mean?
"The biggest fault for this defeat lies with me, Zhang Yuting! And the officials at all levels who failed to lead the troops, what does this have to do with us brothers?"

After saying these words to calm people, Marshal Zhang winked at the guards behind him, asking them to bring up the large boxes containing the receipts, and continued, "Come on, brothers, Yu Ting has prepared ten yuan for each of you to drink!"

"When the train arrives, the brothers whose names are called...get on board and collect your money!"

After hearing this, people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Not only did the leader not run away, but he also tried to comfort those who had lost the battle with kind words, and now he wants to give them money?

At this moment, Jiang Cheng, who was outside the crowd, showed an expression of understanding: the King of Northeast is the King of Northeast, he uses this "brotherhood" approach to appease people's hearts, and finally takes out those "trump card" banknotes... Of course, it will work at the critical moment.

Seeing these soldiers who were trapped by the artillery fire and killing quickly wake up from their extreme panic and tension... Compared with the smiling and sincere Marshal, everyone became ashamed of their own irrationality.

Soon the chaotic order was restored, the soldiers consciously lined up and obeyed orders, and there was no more shoving or shouting.

"Look, do I really need to do this?"

Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled, then turned around and yelled at Feng Yong, intending to ask him about the city's defense preparations.

However, following this noble young man in military uniform into the house was Yang Yuting.

This guy's uniform was not as neat as before, and his messy hair was covered with cold sweat. After meeting Jiang Cheng's eyes, he immediately said, "Feilan! I, I have something to talk to you about-"

As he spoke, his voice became more anxious. "In the middle... it's the 3rd and 8th Brigades of the Marshal who are resisting. As you know, they used to be the Marshal's guard brigade, and now they are commanded by Han Qing and Mao Chen!"

Jiang Cheng's heart suddenly jumped, and he suddenly realized what this guy was going to say: "Could it be,"

Feng Yong hurriedly grabbed Jiang Cheng's arm and said, "Feilan! A few hours ago, Han Qing and his men suddenly lost contact with the headquarters..."

"The problem is, the signal hasn't been restored until now!"

Yang Yuting took over the conversation and said the second half of the sentence: "The problem is that after the east and west routes retreat, the central route will be attacked by Wu Peifu, Zhang Xiyuan and Cao Kun. We have to find a way to support Han Qing!"

Grass.

Before coming here, Jiang Cheng knew very well how poor the Fengtian Army's combat effectiveness was in 1922... But he had never thought that Zhang Hanqing would be so brave and lead his troops to rush into the line of fire so recklessly.

calm down.

You have to know that guy lived for more than a hundred years in history and would not lose his life in such a war.

As Jiang Cheng lowered his head to ponder a countermeasure, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Yang Yuting's face, which was filled with unprecedented fear. (End of this chapter)
