On May 20, when all the troops were preparing for the battle in full swing, Jiang Dong arrived in Taiyuan.

As Xie Chengrui and others said before, the battle to regain North China is not a single battle, it will involve the whole country and various theaters.

In order to make the battle go more smoothly, Jiang Dong must first communicate with Chen Cheng and the Chairman.

"Brother Chen, the younger brother came to bother me again!" The two had decided to call each other "eldest brother" and "younger brother" before. When Jiang Dong saw Chen Cheng, he first did not salute, but smiled and made friends.

Chen Cheng was very satisfied with Jiang Dong's attitude of rushing to deliver gifts, and he said cheerfully:

"I heard that Brother Jiang is busy preparing for the war recently. How come you have time to come here?"

The two of them walked into the house while pretending to be polite.

After sitting down, Jiang Dong presented a gift list as usual. After reading the gift list, the smile on Chen Cheng's face became more friendly and enthusiastic.

"Brother Jiang brings gifts to my brother every time, but he has nothing to give you. I'm really ashamed."

"What did Brother Chen say? You and I don't have to be so outspoken. Besides, if Brother Chen hadn't been in charge in Shanxi, how could I have lived such a peaceful life?"

Chen Cheng just said it casually. He didn't have any embarrassment in his heart. Everyone was just taking advantage of each other.

The hypocritical words were quickly finished. Chen Cheng took a sip of tea and asked:

"I know Brother Jiang is a very busy man, and he is also a master who doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Tell me, what do you want me to do with you?"

Having said that, Jiang Dong stopped being secretive. He took out a document from his bag, spread it out and said to Chen Cheng:

"Brother Chen, my younger brother is already ready to regain Hebei and Shandong. This is the battle plan. Please take a look at it!"

Although Chen Cheng is not very capable, he still understands the importance, and Jiang Dong is not worried that the secret will be leaked because of this.

After hearing this, the fun look on Chen Cheng's face disappeared and turned to become unusually serious.

He carefully put down the teacup, and then looked at Jiangdong's battle plan very carefully.

Jiang Dong leaned on the back of the sofa, calmly waiting for Chen Cheng to finish reading.

This plan only listed the general direction of attack, without detailed troop allocation. It didn't take long for Chen Cheng to read it, with a look of half doubt and half excitement on his face.

"Brother Jiang, the army is divided into three groups. The battle line is too long and the troops are too scattered. It's a bit risky.

In addition, Japanese reinforcements are likely to land from Qingdao, Tianjin and other places, are you prepared for this?"

The questions raised by Chen Cheng were similar to those discussed at the previous military meeting, and Jiang Dong patiently explained them.

After listening to Jiang Dong's explanation, Chen Cheng was obviously much calmer. He clenched his fists involuntarily, suppressing the excitement in his heart and asked:

"Brother Jiang, let me give you a solid foundation. How confident are you in this battle?"

Many previous victories have proven Jiang Dong's ability. Chen Cheng does not intend to interfere with Jiang Dong's command. He just wants to be the commander-in-chief on paper to gain credit.

Jiangdong's development momentum has become unstoppable. Although Japanese troops can continuously land from Qingdao, Tianjin and other places, Jiangdong believes that the Japanese base camp will not devote all its resources to supporting the North China Front.

The reason is simple.

Since it is almost impossible to prevent the development of Jiangdong, we must try our best to avoid losing more military strength in North China.

There are too few men of working age in Japan, and it is impossible to bring them all over to compete with Koto. Otherwise, other places in the world with more abundant resources will fall into the hands of others.

In a fight with Jiangdong, both sides will lose, and the most they can gain is the already relatively barren land in North China.

Instead of doing this, it is better to invest our forces in other directions, such as Southeast Asia, where we can gain greater benefits.

Under such circumstances, Kodong even thought that if the situation in North China was irreversible, the North China Front would definitely be destroyed, and the base camp would probably order Okamura Neiji to retreat early with the main force.

Of course, this is just his idea, and the probability of it actually happening is very low.

Thinking of this, he suppressed his smile and solemnly said to Chen Cheng:

"Brother Chen, if the Military Commission and the principal can get other theaters to fully cooperate, I am sure of winning this battle!"

The last few words Jiang Dong said were decisive.

Chen Cheng completely understood what Jiang Dong meant. He was also infected by the confidence and heroism exuded by Jiang Dong. He patted his chest and said:

"Recovering North China will avenge our past humiliation and greatly enhance our country's military power. This is a war worthy of being recorded in history!

Brother Jiang, don’t worry, I’ll go talk to the Chairman and I’ll promise to help you solve your worries!”

Jiangdong looked relieved,

"With Brother Chen's words, I feel at ease!

This battle requires the eldest brother to take charge and the younger brother to assist. The eldest brother is the commander-in-chief of the battle!" Jiang Dong blinked.

"Haha..." Chen Cheng burst out laughing, praising Jiang Dong for being sensible. After laughing, he seemed to have thought of another thing and asked:

"Brother Jiang, my brothers in the 11th Division are also tough men who dare to fight and fight hard. You might as well include them when you make battle arrangements."

Jiang Dong thought of other things and said indifferently:

"Beiping and Tianjin will be restored sooner or later. The entry ceremony is a big show of honor. The 11th Division is Brother Chen's old base. Brother Chen can choose one of these two places at will."

Chen Cheng's eyes flashed. He didn't expect that Jiangdong would leave the opportunity to show his face to his troops. At first, you started to think about it seriously.

After regaining all of North China, Jiangdong will definitely move the center of power to Peiping.

There will be many places where I will rely on Jiangdong in the future, and the small gifts that Jiangdong gives every month will also be worth a lot of money.

In order to ensure that he could always maintain a good relationship with Jiangdong and continue to receive gifts and military exploits, he quickly made up his mind and said to Jiangdong with a half-smile:

"Brother Jiang, my brother chooses Tianjin!"
