The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Wu Taixun looked at the chaos outside and couldn't help but frown and said, "Good fellow, are you catching these old women and planning to bring them back to keep them?"

Jiang Cheng curled his lips, but Wu Junsheng on the side said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense - Fei Lan's intention is to capture these women and exchange them for our Xiaofang."

Jiang Cheng smiled proudly at Wu Junsheng and said, "It turns out that old ginger is wiser," and turned around and walked out quickly.

The father and son hurriedly trotted to catch up, and Jiang Cheng, accompanied by a group of guards, ran downstairs briskly.

At this moment, the doors of these twenty or thirty Japanese women burst open, and the noise of crying, wailing, and shoving suddenly became louder...

All the women saw Jiang Cheng surrounded by people, and even if they didn't know him or the rank on his uniform, they knew that the handsome young man in front of them must be a "big official".

Some of them who could speak a word or two in Chinese immediately stood up and made righteous speeches, shouting, "Why did you arrest us?", while others shouted, "You are infringing on the interests of overseas Chinese."

Most of Jiang Cheng's men didn't understand, but how could he not understand?

With a sneer, he pulled out a Browning and loaded it from his waist. Without even waiting for the Japanese woman who was rushing in the front and trying to squeeze through the gun array to react, he fired two shots at her feet.

The bullet bounced and splashed everywhere, and some sand and gravel cut her face. The woman screamed and was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and couldn't get up.

With a sneer, Jiang Cheng raised his military cap with the muzzle of the Browning rifle, and then walked towards the group of women who had gone from anger and hatred to gnashing of teeth and extreme fear.

There was another round of muffled screams of fear, and the women collectively shuddered and huddled together in the array of gunfire. Some of the timid ones were even frightened and fainted on the ground.

"Although it is a little rough to invite all the distinguished guests to my place in this way, it is the only way that our Ji army can think of and do... to invite you all."

Jiang Cheng spoke fluent Japanese, which surprised the women. "But Jiang also told the truth. Some of your country's colleagues in the city are too careless in doing things."

"Not only did they invite Miss Wu to be their guest, they didn't even ask for anyone's opinion, and they even kept our Miss detained and haven't sent her back safely yet."

After she finished speaking, the women all understood.

There was a conflict between the Japanese high-ranking officials and the high-ranking officials in Harbin, and they kidnapped the family members of the high-ranking officials and refused to let them go... So, he arrested everyone as a hostage exchange, right?

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he ordered his men to take these women to the large dining room behind the Jiang residence and announced loudly:
From now on, the count will begin, and one woman will be executed every hour until those bastards who kidnapped our young lady are brought back safely.

He also said that if Miss Wu had any accident or was injured, Jilin would express deep regret.

The women couldn't help crying again, but some of them were still brave and careful. They begged Jiang Cheng if they could write a letter to their families and ask them to help them think of a way to "find" Miss Wu.

They are really innocent and just ask this gentleman not to hurt them.

This was of course also something Jiang Cheng took into consideration. He immediately asked someone to give them the paper and pen that had been prepared in advance, and asked them to write down their address in the city, who was in their family, where they worked or studied, etc. on the cover after they wrote the letter.

"I think this move of yours really kills two birds with one stone. How did you come up with this idea?" Wu Taixun smiled at him as they left the house. "But I have some objections. It's a bit slow to execute one in one hour. How about two in one hour?"

Jiang Cheng glanced at him, but before he could respond, Wu Junsheng beside him said, "Fei Lan, is this really okay? I just counted them in one go, and you caught thirty-two women."

"No matter what they do, they are Japanese after all... What if one of them is a well-known woman? Wouldn't we be in trouble?"

Wu Taixun turned around and said in a muffled voice: "Damn it, why bother about whether he causes trouble or not? They took Xiaofang away, so why should we save their face?"

The father looked at his son helplessly, but Jiang Cheng quickly said: "You two are right--"

"I am sure I have caused this incident... but I don't think there are any prominent figures involved. After all, this is Harbin, and the forces that the Japanese infiltrated are mainly from the Special Higher Police."

"These women are probably from the pioneer group, or the wives of people who came to China to do business. If they really have any connection with the Japanese military or some leaders, they should have been moved away before they attacked Super Six."

Wu Taixun was stunned: "According to what you said, there are no important women here. Is there any hope that those little Japanese will be threatened by us and send Xiaofang back?"

Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled: "What they value is the control of the railway... That's why they are eager to instigate a fight between our two families, so that the troops stationed in South Manchuria or North Korea will have a reason to send troops here."

"But I just won't give them this opportunity! Although these women are not leaders, they must be from wealthy families to be able to stay in Harbin, and they may even be the families of some of the Japanese military's financial sponsors."

"They are threatened, and if their financial backers are unhappy, they will put pressure on the military—"

"Think about it, under these circumstances, why would the Special High Police need to hurt Chi Fang? Obviously the best way is to send him back and then sit down and negotiate."

Wu Junsheng's face darkened: "It has become like this, will you negotiate with them?"

Jiang Cheng didn't answer, but he turned around and made a "kill" gesture to the White Russians.

An hour later, the tanks covered with tarpaulins outside the city were untied by the soldiers one by one, and the dust-proof tarpaulins were removed.

The deafening roar, accompanied by thick black smoke, began to advance rapidly towards Harbin.

The soldiers on the city defense also began to check their ammunition, and they ran into their respective combat areas in groups.

The city quickly entered a posture similar to that of a defender in a siege, and the tension was so intense that it seemed like a fire might break out.

Just as Jiang Cheng expected, within an hour, someone delivered a letter expressing willingness to sit down with General Jiang to have a good negotiation on some local issues.

"Damn it, forcing us to negotiate in this way is really shameless!"

Li Shitou spat and said to Jiang Cheng in a gruff voice, "Master, let's not go - just do as you say and kill these women one by one. I wonder what they can do!?" (End of this chapter)
