To be honest, people in their 60s would not dare to ask for help even if they show the door to others.
Even if Cheng Jingxian is in good health, it will be the same.
Although the average life expectancy at this time was not as tragically low as during the Anti-Japanese War, a person who was sixty years old was considered to have a long life. Cheng Jingxian had been engaged in the promising career of banditry all his life, and it was indeed rare to live to the age of 60.
When you reach this age, you really need to plan your future.
Therefore, Cheng Jingxian was particularly respectful when he saw Liu Zizheng.
Cheng Jingxian, who held a humble position, had met the general. Cheng Jingxian kept his posture low, barely even kneeling down to pay his respects.
Lao Cheng, you're welcome. We in Lanfang don't advocate the low-ranking general. It doesn't matter how high the official position is, just give a military salute. Come on, come on, I'll teach you Liu Zizheng's enthusiasm.
I'm afraid Cheng Jingxian never expected that the first thing Liu Zizheng, the big boss of the Vladivostok Allied Forces, did when he saw him was to teach him a military salute. This was really untrue.
However, this also shows from another aspect that the famous Kwantung Army in another time and space did not put much pressure on Liu Zizheng.
You can understand it if you think about it. I have fought against the Germans, who are known as the most elite army in the world, and I have fought against the Russians, who are known as the European military police. The key is that I have won both of them, at least I have not lost in one-on-one situations.
Indeed, no country's army can bring much pressure to Liu Zizheng now.
As for the Japanese who lacked tanks and artillery and other heavy weapons, Liu Zizheng really didn't pay much attention to them.
Within a few words, this relaxed attitude even infected Cheng Jingxian, and the nervousness he felt when he first entered the armored command vehicle disappeared.
After teaching the military etiquette, Liu Zizheng picked up the kettle and prepared to make Cheng Jing a cup of tea.
This armored command vehicle, whether it is big or not, is definitely not as spacious as an office, but it is not small at all. It can still accommodate three or five people. However, the only people present now are Liu Zizheng and Cheng Jingxian, and Liu Zizheng will definitely not let that happen.
Cheng Jingxian served him, regardless of military rank or rank. Even if someone was as old as Cheng Jingxian, Liu Zizheng also had to respect the old and love the young.
How dare you, how dare you, the general is sacrificing his humble position. Cheng Jing was nervous and then forgot about it.
Haha, then I will make the decision for you. Try this. This is our Lanfang specialty coffee. I guess you haven’t tasted it yet. Come and give it a try today. Liu Zizheng is showing off his demeanor as a landlord.
What Liu Zizheng poured was not the famous cat poop, but just ordinary coffee.
This scent is quite unique. Cheng Jing first stood up, half-bowed, took it with both hands, and only sat halfway down on the chair.
It's really good to refresh your mind, but don't drink too much, it will become addictive. Liu Zizheng also had a drink for himself, and then calmly said: Let's talk about the situation at Songhua River Station. Have you made any new discoveries in the preliminary investigation?
This was the big exam. Cheng Jingxian immediately put down the coffee in his hand, stood up and replied respectfully: General, the Japs have increased their troops in the past two days. It is estimated that there are more than a thousand people now, plus the strong men the Japs pulled from the local area, and there are
There are now estimated to be two to three thousand people in Jiangbei who have taken refuge in Jiangbei. The exact number is not clear. The little devil uses Jiangbei's beard to see the door. My brothers and those people can't see each other without looking up.
There's no way you can get in there.
When Mr. Liu left, the task given to Cheng Jingxian was to conduct an investigation at Mudanjiang Station, or to do something after the troops from Vladivostok arrived.
But now it seems that Cheng Jingxian did not complete the task very well.
Did the defenders at Mudanjiang Station have a large number of artillery and machine guns, and how well supplied were they? Liu Zizheng estimated that he had known this would be the case, so he did not show any surprise, and still wanted to get as much intelligence as possible.
There are not many artillery pieces, maybe three or five. They are all small cannons. Compared with our big guys, they are much inferior. There are not many machine guns, which is very different from us. As for the supply level, the small ones are right.
The Japanese had a gun carriage that could run on the railway. The gun carriage had several trots and three or four machine guns. Cheng Jingxian still provided an important piece of news.
Train gun Liu Zizheng's heart suddenly tightened.
When he was in Reims, Liu Zizheng had seen the power of train guns. The Germans used train guns to bombard Paris directly from Armiefontein. Both the range and power were amazing.
But this is East Asia
Liu Zizheng immediately shook his head and laughed. If the military strength of the Japanese could be compared with the Germans, then the three divisions on Sakhalin Island would not have suffered so badly.
Just when Liu Zizheng led his army into the northeastern part of the Republic of China, the battle on Sakhalin Island had come to an end.
Three entire divisions of regular Japanese troops, as well as a second division that was said to have the strongest combat effectiveness, have been basically wiped out. Only a few people fled into the mountains and forests of Sakhalin Island without a trace. If these people are ignored
, now Lan Fang can announce that these three divisions have been annihilated.
Since the regular divisions are fighting like this, there is really a question mark as to how much combat effectiveness the Kwantung Army Railway Garrison Brigade stationed at Mudanjiang Station can have.
Okay, your work has been completed. Take a rest first and look at ours next. Liu Zizheng doesn't want to delay. If he captures Mudanjiang Station one day earlier, he can attack the north and south along the railway one day earlier. Time waits for no one.
.
Liu Zizheng also wanted to return to Lanfang to attend the year-end knighthood conference.
Qin Zhiyuan has decided to confer a number of titles in Lanfang during the New Year. There will definitely be a grand ceremony waiting for those meritorious ministers.
And Liu Zizheng, as one of the people with the highest military rank in Lanfang, must be among those who can be canonized.
In fact, none of Lanfang's mid-level and senior generals wanted to miss this grand event, so the war with Japan must end within this year. Only then can Liu Zizheng and the others accept Qin Zhiyuan's canonization with a clear conscience.
General, since we have joined the army, there is no reason for us to rest in the rear without the general leading the army to fight. Please ask the general to order us to go into battle. We will definitely fulfill our mission. Cheng Jing volunteered first.
It is really not possible to invite them. Although he has just seen Lanfang's regular army, Cheng Jingxian already has a strong sense of crisis. Cheng Jingxian must seize every opportunity to prove his worth. Otherwise, no one can guarantee that the Lanfang people will not burn bridges.
Haha, that's fine, but you must obey orders and never do anything without permission. Liu Zizheng didn't refuse, which would be chilling.
The bandit soldiers under Cheng Jingxian may not have high combat effectiveness, but they are all locals and are familiar with the terrain. Even if they cannot help during the war, it is not a problem to help lead the way. Liu Zizheng now knows how to use all the resources.
Resources to win victory have their own value even for small people.
General, please rest assured. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be killed by Laobizhi with one shot. Cheng Jingxian has high standards and strict requirements.
Then set off. Until now, Cheng Jingxian and the others finally saw how Lan Fang's group of veteran soldiers fought.
Before starting the battle, Cen Jinchang took Cheng Jingxian to the riverside to inspect the terrain. For safety reasons, Cen Jinchang called an armored vehicle. He had no intention of hiding and drove along the riverside in a grand manner.
With such a swagger going by, I'm afraid the Japanese will be on guard. Cheng Jingxian was a little disapproving of Cen Jinchang's carelessness. Guan Erye would lose Jingzhou if he was careless.
No, there is such a big movement over there, we can't hide it even if we want to. Cen Jinchang doesn't take it seriously.
There was indeed a huge movement. At the place where Lanfang's troops gathered, two to three hundred tanks and nearly a thousand cars had gathered in a dense crowd. Such a large formation was impossible to hide on this remote riverside.
What's more, on a hilltop less than 500 meters away from the river, artillery troops were building artillery positions. The group was even more arrogant and even drove a construction truck up there, not afraid of the Japanese discovering them.
What if we find out?
If the Japanese dare to cross the river to fight, they will play into Liu Zizheng's ambitions.
The Japanese army seemed to have been prepared for the arrival of Lanfang's army, so they strictly guarded the only iron bridge on the Mudanjiang River. There were bunkers on both sides of the iron bridge. Through the telescope, the dark shooting holes could clearly be seen inside.
Someone is defending, and I don’t know what the equipment level is.
Cen Jinchang seemed flamboyant, but he was still cautious enough when performing his mission. He ordered the armored vehicle to stop when he was more than one kilometer away from the bunker. After observing for a while, he ordered the armored vehicle to turn around and return.
Look, are you being honest now?
Of course, Cheng Jingxian could only think about this in his heart. If he really wanted to say it, he would never say it out loud.
Returning to the queue, Cen Jinchang went to Sun Zhuotang, commander of the 1st Armored Division Regiment, to report on the investigation. In just ten minutes, the staff immediately came up with a battle plan.
So a tank company immediately set off, together with a battalion of infantry, plus those coalition soldiers under Cheng Jingxian, to launch a frontal attack.
Just like that, Cheng Jing hurriedly put the helmet on his head, still in disbelief.
Before setting off, Cheng Jingxian and his men each received a set of Lanfang soldier equipment, complete from head to toe.
This simply made Cheng Jingxian and his men overjoyed. A few of them were impatient, they pulled up several horses and started changing clothes on the roadside. This kind of bold behavior was quite
This made several nurses in the armored division blush.
I haven’t seen much popularity as a nurse in the army. I haven’t seen any battles.
When rescuing people, there are times when I personally strip the wounded soldiers naked.
Then what are you waiting for? You have to eat a meal first and then finish it. It won’t take much effort. Cen Jinchang’s answer really made me angry to death.
