The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Jiang Cheng first glanced at Xu Shuzheng's expression, but soon noticed the amusement in the other's eyes. He immediately smiled awkwardly and casually echoed a few words, then made a "please" gesture and invited the old guy to go into the Marshal's Mansion together.

Even if this incident hadn't happened, Wu Junsheng still disliked that Guo Guizi——

He had created a feud when he was reorganizing the army. Not only did more than half of the troops in Heilongjiang Province suffer from his rectification, but a lot of their military budgets were also cut.

This bunch of old warlords are used to "sucking the blood of soldiers". This is not much different from the hatred of killing someone's parents and stealing someone's wife... In addition, now that such a weird thing has happened, Wu Dashetou must hate him to death.

But Jiang Cheng was not in a hurry to express his opinion: for the Fengtian Army, this was a war of internal consumption... The highlight moment of this team had already ended in the Zhi-Feng War more than a year ago.

Guo's anti-Feng movement was nothing more than an early clarion call for their gradual decline.

The reason why Jiang Cheng informed the generals in advance was also to give the Marshal's Office a shot of prevention - the most important purpose was to prevent Sui, Cha, Re and Mongolia from being caught off guard by Feng Yuxiang and suffering too much loss.

As for the internal friction among the Fengtian Army, as long as it did not affect places like Siping Zhengjiatun, he only intended to listen to the "opinions" and make a "loyalty to the king" gesture.

The entire meeting was extremely depressing. Even though Dashuai's brothers made jokes and tried to ease the atmosphere... there was still a suffocating feeling of oppression at the scene.

The Marshal came up and scolded Guo Guizi for committing treason and being an ungrateful ungrateful person.

No one had ever treated him badly during their work, but this bastard started to cause trouble as soon as he got the slightest chance.

He insisted on forcing me to step down, saying that he wanted to support his son and drive out the villains in the Northeast. To put it bluntly, it was just a banner.

"We all know what this bastard wants to do, right? He wants to seize the Northeast, and he's using the name of Xiao Liuzi. What a bastard!"

The Marshal was getting more and more angry as he spoke. He first said that he had issued a telegram, saying that as long as he, the Guizi Guo, was willing to negotiate peacefully, he had already dismissed Yang Yuting and let his son take over...

But this bastard still refused to give in. He had already led a group of bastards to cause chaos and had even attacked Shanhaiguan.

"Master, what Guizi Guo said is just an excuse for his rebellion."

Seeing that all the officers present were silent, Jiang Cheng, who was sitting side by side with Wu Junsheng, was the first to express his opinion.

Yang Yuting has been "dismissed", and this is the perfect time to take advantage of the opportunity to move up to the top.

If he plays dead like everyone else, the desperate Marshal... will probably use the Japanese to fight the Devils again.

By then, it will be unknown what benefits I can exchange with them. I have spent a lot of effort to drive away the Japanese in the area, and I must not let them take advantage of me again.

"Master, I have thought about it carefully. Guo Songling has already raised the banner of anti-Feng. Given his personality, there is absolutely no way he will change his mind."

Seeing that the Marshal had no intention of interrupting him, Jiang Cheng continued, "When I submitted the report to the General Staff Headquarters earlier, I also hinted at the Jinzhou side."

"Now that we have Sun Liuye in charge, plus a strong army and horses - and with the brothers coming to reinforce, we will definitely be able to defeat Guo's army!"

After he finished speaking, only new-school figures like Han Linchun responded, while old-school figures like Wu Junsheng and Zhang Zuoxiang were all speechless.

Even the Marshal knew that after defeating the Zhi army, he promoted many new figures;
Not only that, there were also many "Lu Da Factions" promoted by that hateful Guo Guizi... and almost all of these people followed him in making trouble.

The entire Shanhaiguan front line was in chaos, and now the only ones he could rely on were these old brothers.

But he also saw that the only person who responded was this brat. This made the Marshal feel sad, and after a long time he sighed and said, "Okay!"

"I'm afraid this battle will not only be a tough one, but also determine the future direction of our Northeast - we must fight him to the end!" They were hastily preparing for the battle, and their opponents were their two most elite legions. In addition, there were only a few responders, so even the Marshal himself was unsure.

With Jiang Cheng's response, he felt a little more at ease. He calmed down and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of this mission and to assist in the management of the Fengtian North Camp.

In addition to appointing Jiang Cheng, he was also allowed to promote all brothers who could defend against the enemy.

"As the old saying goes, if you have a son, you want him to be like Sun Zhongmou... I know in my heart that I am not that lucky!"

Leaving Jiang Cheng, Feng Yong and others behind, the Marshal said with a sad face, "Look at how much trouble this Han Qing has caused--"

"He's probably going to need your two assistance in the future!"

Jiang Cheng knew the deeper meaning of his words, but he didn't discuss it in depth. Instead, he quickly brought the topic back to tactics.

Originally, he planned to set the defense location in Jinxi:
Lianshan is the throat of western Liaoning. It has a dangerous terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and has always been a battleground for military strategists.

With Guo Songling's intelligence, he would definitely deploy heavy troops here.

"As the garrison commander of Jinzhou, Liu Runchuan built many wild fort-style positions on Lianshan Mountain;"

Jiang Cheng asked his personal guard to present the map he had prepared long ago. "Master, I originally thought that when this Guo devil arrives, we should mobilize troops to quickly repair and set up defensive positions."

"But when it comes to fighting a tough battle, who can rival Guo Songling?"

Jiang Cheng changed the subject and immediately looked back at the Marshal, "Fighting an offensive and defensive battle here will most likely turn into a war of attrition - by then we will suffer heavy losses and will still not be able to defend Lianshan."

The Marshal nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"Let's lure the snake out of its hole."

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and finished the second half of his sentence, "I choose Jinzhou as the location for the decisive battle!"

…………

It was almost late at night when I discussed tactics with the commander-in-chief and went out.

The commander-in-chief of this operation was Zhang Hanqing, and Jiang Cheng was appointed as the front-line commander this time to fight side by side with the young marshal.

I went out side by side with Sun Zhengnan and Feng Yong. Fengtian was shrouded in the dark night and it was freezing cold.

The three men got into the military vehicle in silence and went directly to Beidaying to meet Zhang Hanqing who was counting the troops.

When the brothers saw this, they didn't say anything extra, but quickly exchanged opinions and led the Fengtian-Jilin coalition forces to march to Jinzhou.

"Going to Jinzhou? Aren't you planning to fight the enemy in Lianshan?"

It was not until the troops boarded the train at the railway station that Zhang Hanqing learned of the change in the battle plan. "Then..."

Jiang Cheng kept the secret in suspense and said nothing. Instead, he patted him on the shoulder and ordered his men to change their clothes and take every opportunity to rest.

What does this mean?
Change clothes...and ask everyone to take a break?
He could understand it before, the temperature has dropped sharply in the past few days, and the Fengtian Army has already prepared winter clothes. (End of this chapter)
