If it would be black plays and mates, it would be g1xf1.
(I have read the rules just now ...).
So what red can do ... if there wouln't be the cannon at g9  the a8 f8 mates ...
1: a8 f8 ... f7 f8
2. g9 g2 ... f8 f7
3. g2 e[edit]f typo correced[/edit]2 ... horse somewhere
4. d3 e3 mate ?

That's not quite going to work, Hippo (black horse to rank 4 on move 3 takes chariot on rank 2 on move 4 resolving check), but I think you're essentially on the right track. Sticking with the western notation, I think this works:
1. a9-f9+! f8xf9
2. g10-g5+ f9-f8
3. g5-f5+ g6-xx
4. e3-f3++
If I'm understanding the notation section of the Wikipedia entry, that would more properly be:
1. R9.4! G6-1
2. C3-5 G6+1
3. C3.4 H6 x
4. C5.4

Oh yes, you are right  but why is your western notation one higher than my? ... I should think about it  Oh yes, I have counted from 0 to 9

In response to Beginner:
1. R9-1 (the frontmost chariot goes back one step).
This puts the king in check. The enemy king will not move away from you because if he did that, you can checkmate by moving the cannon C+2. So the enemy king will definitely move toward you.
2. K4.5 (move your own king one step to the left)
The enemy can do whatever he wants now, it does not matter.
3. R5+1 (checkmate)
Why is this checkmate?
a. You attack him with the chariot. The enemy king cannot take your chariot because then your two kings would be looking at each other, which is illegal.
b. The enemy also cannot take your chariot with his elephant because then you could still kill the king by jumping over his elephant using your cannon.
