Chapter 100: The 918 Incident (II)

In this way, Xu Guoren and the independent division were stationed in Tongliao, and for seven days there was no sign of moving northward. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In these seven days, the main force of Du Jiwu's independent 18th Brigade has already joined the main force of the 7th Brigade led by Zhao Zhenfan in the north of Tongliao, but because of the strength, it does not have much advantage over Xu Guoren's troops.

In order to ensure the safety of Shenyang and take all possible measures, the two followed Wang Yizhe's orders and built a defensive line on the spot to prevent Xu Guoren from going north.

For the time being, he does not plan to attack Tongliao, but plans to wait for the 12th Independent Brigade from Jinzhou and other reinforcements to arrive, and then besiege Tongliao with absolute superiority in troops, eliminate Xu Guoren's department, and recapture Tongliao.

In addition, more than 7,000 people of the 22nd Independent Brigade and the 19th Independent Cavalry Brigade, which were originally stationed in the north of Fuxin and other Rehe, were also ordered to move from the north of Rehe to the Tongliao area.

From a strategic point of view, the Northeast Army is mobilizing forces from all directions to complete the strategic encirclement of independent divisions.

When Chen Zhiyuan heard the news, he couldn't sit still any longer.

He handed over the matter of the field hospital to Guo Shiling and others, hurriedly came to the temporary headquarters of the division, found Xu Guoren who was chatting with Guo Shiyin, and said to Xu Guoren with an anxious face: "Guoren, according to intelligence, a large number of Northeast Army troops are on the way to surround us, we can't stay in Tongliao anymore, otherwise it will be very dangerous!" ”

Xu Guoren turned around, did not panic, but asked for a long time: "Old Chen, what time is it today?" ”

Chen Zhiyuan was stunned and replied, "September 12th!" Why, why are you asking this? ”

"And how far are we from Shenyang?" Xu Guoren asked.

"Probably less than five hundred miles!" Chen Zhiyuan replied.

"That's enough time.;" Xu Guoren seemed to muttered to himself, and then said to Chen Zhiyuan: "Old Chen, I have decided to give up Tongliao immediately tonight, and the whole division will bypass the enemy's defense line in the north of the city and march in the direction of Shenyang!" ”

"Now there are more than 15,000 Northeast Army troops stationed in the north of the city to defend, and we want to bypass them and go to Shenyang, I'm afraid it's not that easy, right?"

Xu Guoren took the lead and walked to the map, pointing to Tongliao, Shuangcheng, Fuxin, Shenyang and other places on the map and said to Chen Zhiyuan: "Political commissar, you see, there is a huge Liaoning, just with the group of Northeast Army in the north of the city that has been scared by us, if we want to leave, how can they be able to stay!" ”

"Of course, in order to avoid trouble, we still have to use small strategies, I have already decided to let the six sons take the cavalry battalion to escort the more than 1,000 captive soldiers we captured from Tongliao City, pretend to be our main force, and go east from Tongliao overnight to make a situation of attacking Fuxin in the south.

We will lead the main force to advance to the Shuangliao area to the west, and when the enemy is attracted by the cavalry battalion, we can divert to the south halfway and go straight to Shenyang! By that time, it would be too late for Zhao Zhenfan and Du Jiwu to stop us! ”

"But what should we do if the Japanese army does not launch an attack on the Northeast Army after we arrive in Shenyang?" Chen Zhiyuan was a little worried.

"Now that the main forces of the Northeast Army are all outside the pass, and the defenders of Shenyang have been attracted by us at least more than half, Shenyang can be said to be the weakest moment in its defense, the Japanese will definitely not be able to bear it, Old Chen, believe me!" Xu Guoren is bitter in his heart, he can't tell you that the history of the 918 incident happened six days later, right?

So, in order to highlight his awesomeness, Xu Guoren patted his chest confidently and swore an oath: "Old Chen, think about it, since the fight against Pingyang, when have I disappointed you?" ”

Since Xu Guoren said so, of course Chen Zhiyuan couldn't say anything more, so he could only nod in agreement.

Unifying opinions, Xu Guoren immediately asked Guo Xiaoliu, who was temporarily serving as the commander of the cavalry battalion, to summon him.

"Commander, are you looking for me?" Guo Xiaoliu saluted decently and stepped forward to ask.

After more than a year of military career tempering and the baptism of war, Guo Xiaoliu has grown from a small hunter in Guojiabao to a qualified soldier, and his childishness has faded, and he is more mature and introverted.

"Liuzi, I have an important task to hand over to you!" Xu Guoren was bending over the desk writing something.

As soon as Guo Xiaoliu heard that there was a task, he immediately came to his senses, and asked with a pair of big eyes full of expectation: "Commander, what is the task?" Leave it to me, and I'll do my best to complete it! ”

Xu Guoren folded the written things, put them into an envelope, and handed them to Guo Xiaoliudao: "Tonight, the troops are about to be pulled, our ultimate goal is Shenyang City, I now order you to lead the cavalry battalion to hold the more than 1,000 captives in the city, pretending to be the main force to march east at night to cover the main force to march in a roundabout way."

When you reach the Fuxin area, release the prisoners on the spot, and then hand over this letter to them, and let them pass it on to the generals of the Northeast Army who came to pursue! Remember, your task is to impersonate the main force and attract the enemy to pursue, not engage the enemy.

After the task is completed, leave immediately, don't fall in love with the battle, with the mobility of the cavalry battalion, you want to go, I believe that the Northeast Army from afar will not be able to stop you!

I and the main force are waiting for you to return to Shenyang for construction, do you understand? ”

Guo Xiaoliu wrote it down carefully, nodded and said, "Yes!" I see! ”

"By the way, I'll ask Guo Shiyin to take a radio station team with you later, so that we can get in touch!" Xu Guoren thought for a while and added.

After sending Guo Xiaoliu away, Xu Guoren ordered all divisions of the division to cook overnight, pack up their baggage, and eat and drink enough, and at 12 o'clock in the evening, when the people were sleepy, they took the lead with the artillery battalion, the second regiment, and the third regiment, and withdrew Tongliao from the south of the city, and after retreating a distance to the south, they turned west under the cover of night, along the sorghum fields and grass more than one person high.

At the same time, Guo Xiaoliu led the cavalry battalion with the captive soldiers from the east gate to the southeast.

As a result of their deliberate publicity, the Northeast Army, which was on the defensive in the northeast of Tongliao, discovered the anomaly.

Generals such as Zhao Zhenfan and Du Jiwu quickly sent people to reconnoitre, and it didn't take long for the scouts to report: "Sir, the independent division seems to have run in the southeast direction!" ”

"What? Is it confirmed that it is the main force of the independent division? Zhao Zhenfan asked.

"Confirm, there are cavalry, and infantry, look at the momentum, at least more than 5,000 people!" The scout nodded in reply.

Zhao Zhenfan and Du Jiwu glanced at each other, turned around and walked to the map, looked at the map, their faces couldn't help but change greatly, Du Jiwu shouted: "This Xu Guoren won't want to pay attention to the new direction of Fuxin, right?" The 22nd Independent Brigade has been ordered to gather forces to rush to this side, and they are now attacking overnight, and they want to take the initiative to attack Fuxin reinforcements to break our encirclement! ”

"It's very likely, they must have gotten the information, and they were afraid that the friendly troops in the direction of Fuxin would rush to attack them, so fortunately they took the initiative to attack!" Zhao Zhenfan said with a frown.

"Then what does Staff Officer Zhao think we should do? Will they take the opportunity to counterattack Tongliao, or will they send troops to pursue the enemy's troops out of the city? Du Jiwu was undecided and asked.

Zhao Zhenfan thought for a while and said: "Xu Guoren is cunning with troops, since he dares to send troops out of the city to attack our Fuxin reinforcements, then he must have made arrangements in the city, and we boldly launch a counterattack, I'm afraid it will be difficult to work." On the contrary, we will take care of one and lose the other, once the Fuxin reinforcements are defeated by the enemy's surprise attack, then we will not be able to form an encirclement of them, and it will not be so easy to keep this rebel army at that time! ”

"Therefore, I suggest that I lead my independent 7th Brigade to continue to confront the defenders in Tongliao City, and Brigade Commander Du, you lead the main force of your department to quickly pursue in the southeast direction, and strive to flank the front and rear with my Fuxin reinforcements to eliminate the rebels out of the city! Once you succeed, you will join forces again and come back to surround Tongliao.

At that time, the rebels in the city will be greatly wounded, and they will be destroyed by me! ”

Du Jiwu felt that it made sense, and immediately ordered his troops and horses to part ways with Zhao Zhenfan, bypassed Tongliao, and quickly pursued in the southeast direction.

Because Xu Guoren and Guo Xiaoliu left in the middle of the night, and a curfew was imposed at night, the people in Tongliao City did not dare to leave their homes at all.

Moreover, it was late at night, and all the people were almost asleep.

Therefore, at this time, no one in Tongliao knew that the independent division had all been evacuated, and Tongliao had become an empty city.

It wasn't until after dawn that Xu Guoren's two troops marched hundreds of miles away that the people woke up to find that all the soldiers in the city were gone.

At this time, some landlords loyal to the Northeast Army, Lao Caizhan went out of the city tremblingly and went to the camp of Zhao Zhen to report.

When Zhao Zhenfan got the news, he was ashamed and annoyed, he was actually tricked by Xu Guoren, but he was depressed, and he immediately waved his army to recover Tongliao City.

At the same time, a regiment of troops was sent to advance to the southeast, intending to assist Du Jiwu's troops and Fuxin to reinforce the independent division that had fled last night.

Who would have thought that Xu Guoren with the main force of the independent division was already about to arrive in Shuangliao.

Before Du Jiwu and his troops could catch up with Fuxin, they encountered a group of captive soldiers who had been released by the cavalry battalion of the Independent Division.

It turned out that last night, Guo Xiaoliu took the cavalry battalion and the captive soldiers to move to Fuxin.

Guo Xiaoliu made a quick decision, released the prisoners on the spot, and quickly ran to the northeast with the cavalry battalion, heading straight to Shenyang.

"Sir, this is an officer of the rebel army who handed over his humble post to you before leaving!" Du Jiwu was wondering when a captured officer handed over an envelope.

Du Jiwu opened it with doubts.

I saw the content of the letter as follows: "The brothers of General Du Jiwu of the Northeast Frontier Army or Colonel Zhao Zhenfan, and the younger brother Xu Guoren were originally clothed in cloth, and they raised troops in Pingyang. Xu once promised that he would never take the initiative to shoot at the Northeast Army, and it was a helpless move to attack Chifeng and seize Liao.

Jinte released all the soldiers of the Tongliao garrison to show goodwill, and did not ask for forgiveness from his brother.

The Japanese wolf ambitions, plotting the Northeast for a long time, this can be seen from their plot to kill Zhang Dashuai, now the young marshal led the elite of the Northeast Army into the pass, Shenyang is empty, the defense is weak, and the present brother and others have all the troops of Fengtian to encircle and suppress the younger brother.

It is difficult to ensure that the Japanese Japanese invaders saw the opportunity to carry out a conspiracy and launch an armed incident.

The young marshal entrusts the northeast family business to the brothers, if there is a mistake, how can the brothers see the young marshal? And how to comfort the spirit of the old handsome in the sky? Therefore, Xu hereby advises the brothers, because of the main business in Shenyang, do not lose a big one because of a small one, and the rate of the department will return to Shenyang to help Shenyang, so as to make a fool of yourself!

The younger brother led the troops to wait for the Dan, and waited for the orders of the younger brother, if the Japanese invaders really offended me, the younger brother was willing to lead the officers and soldiers of the department as the forerunner, bravely kill the enemy, and protect the family business of the young marshal with the public, and defend my northeast territory! Expel the Japanese Invaders! Hate for the handsome!

The above is really my brother's heartfelt words, and I hope my brother will think twice! It's the same root, why is it too anxious? Xu Guoren, the former commander of the 88th Independent Brigade of the Northeast Frontier Army, is respectful. ”

After reading Xu Guoren's letter, Du Jiwu was also a little melancholy, because for a while, he couldn't find any trace of the independent division, and learned that Tongliao had been recovered by Zhao Zhenfan's army, so he had to return to Tongliao with his troops.

I showed Xu Guoren's letter to Zhao Zhenfan, both of whom were famous patriotic generals in history, and after reading it, they were quite heavy.

No matter what Xu Guoren's purpose was, his words did remind Zhao Zhenfan and Du Jiwu that in addition to Xu Guoren's rebel army, there was also a real human-loving tiger in the Northeast.

That is the Japanese Kwantung Army, they control almost all the railway lines in Northeast South Manchuria and North Manchuria, in fact, Xu Guoren's independent division is not even ringworm scabies compared to the Japanese Kwantung Army.

The Northeast Army understood from top to bottom that the Japanese Kwantung Army was the real henchman.

The old handsome Zhang Zuolin was killed by them! This is the common shame and hatred of all officers and men of the Northeast Army.

"I have to say, Xu Guoren's words do have some truth, Brigade Commander Du, we can't lose a big deal because of a small thing! Almost all of our Northeast Army's family business is in Mukden! Where there are our arsenals and large and small industrial bases, there must be no mistakes! Zhao Zhenfan's words obviously also moved Du Jiwu.

He pondered for a moment and said: "That's true, I think, Brother Zhao, you better hurry up and lead your troops back, the Beida Battalion is without you, and the defensive force is too weak!" I will continue to garrison Tongliao and continue to search for the whereabouts of the independent division, so that the young marshal will be able to make a difference anywhere! ”

"Well, let's do it!"

On September 14, Zhao Zhenfan and Du Jiwu divided their troops and began to return to Shenyang with their troops.

At this time, Xu Guoren had already led his troops to sneak into the folk mountains and forests between Shuangliao and Zhangwu to hide, and quietly advanced in the direction of Shenyang.

Four days later, Zhao Zhenfan returned to Shenyang Beidaying with his troops and officially returned to the building!

And Du Jiwu also took his troops, as well as the 19th Independent Cavalry Brigade and the 22nd Independent Infantry Brigade that were ordered to come over from Fuxin, to search for the traces of Xu Guoren's department.

This day is September 18th.

On the South Manchurian Railway, a train with the Japanese military flag was rumbling towards Shenyang.

In one of the carriages, several Japanese officers were sitting, among whom was a guy who was not good-looking, short in stature, wearing glasses but with a small thick beard, and it was none other than Ishihara Waner, the actual mastermind of the September 18 Incident.

A burly devil officer sitting opposite him was his friend, the later commander of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Invasion of China, Itagaki Seishiro, who was Wei Lihuang who fought in Shanxi and North China, and Yan Xishan's hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated.

"Ishihara-kun, we can't wait any longer, according to the information transmitted by the railway garrison, a brigade drawn by Zhang Xueliang from Jinzhou has almost arrived at the Daling River, and tonight afternoon, Zhao Zhenfan, who was originally in Tongliao to encircle and suppress Xu Guoren, has also led most of the troops of the independent seventh brigade and returned to the northern camp in Fengtian!

If we wait any longer, when the Northeast Army in the direction of Jinzhou keeps driving back, we will lose the best fighters! Now that Du Jiwu's headquarters of the Northeast Army are busy exterminating Xu Guoren's independent division, it is a great opportunity for the imperial army to do it! Itagaki Seishiro said to Ishihara anxiously.

Ishihara naturally knew this, but he had made up his mind before that, after all, this operation was an adventurous plan to conceal from the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the headquarters of the Tokyo headquarters.

There are many benefits to success, but if you fail, the consequences are also extremely serious.

After pondering for a moment, the old devil Ishihara finally made up his mind, nodded to Itagaki Seishiro and said, "Well, let's act tonight, everything will be according to the original plan, Itagaki-kun, let's create a great miracle belonging to the Yamato nation together!" Once we succeed, you and I will be heroes of the Great Japanese Empire, and we will be famous for eternity! ”

Itagaki Seishiro was also very excited, and immediately instructed a subordinate to go to power the power generation to notify the start of the plan.

In the evening, the 3rd Squadron of the Independent Garrison of the Japanese Kwantung Army left the Hushitai Barracks and began to move south along the South Manchurian Railway, aiming at the North Camp.

At the same time, Kawamoto Suemori, captain of the Wicker Lake Detachment of the Japanese Kwantung Army's railway garrison, led nearly 100 of his subordinates to blow up a short section of the railway 15 miles north of Mukden under the pretext of inspecting the railway, and placed the bodies of three civilians in northeast China wearing Chinese military uniforms that they had killed on the side of the railway, as ironclad evidence that the Chinese army had sabotaged the railway and attacked the imperial army.

At the same time as the explosion sounded, the squadron that had come from the Hushitai Barracks, led by its leader, Captain Kawashima, brazenly launched an attack on the North Battalion.

Kawamoto Suemori also took his nearly 100 subordinates and quickly joined the attack from Shenyang, and attacked the North Camp with the Kawashima squadron, with a total strength of more than 300 Japanese troops.

The 918 Incident, with its powerful historical trajectory, happened as promised! The only difference is that Xu Guoren, a little butterfly, is trying to incite his wings, and with his troops, he is marching in the direction of Shenyang overnight.

Because he was afraid of arriving in Shenyang in advance, Xu Guoren's department chose to go out day and night, which would be dozens of miles away from Shenyang.

However, Guo Xiaoliu's cavalry battalion had already rushed to the mountains and forests near the Shenyang Railway Station, waiting for Xu Guoren's instructions!

PS: I wanted to divide it into two chapters, but I felt that it would affect the coherence of the story, so I gritted my teeth and wrote it all out, and one chapter was sent! It's more than 5,000 words, which can be regarded as making up for it, and my update has been unstable during this time.

Because there are so many aspects involved, you need to look up a lot of information, and you have to think about the specific direction of the next plot, so the writing is very slow, and Oreo sits in front of the computer and writes for hours!

I hope that everyone can vote for a few recommendation votes after the early hours of this morning!

Next, my updates will speed up and won't be so slow anymore! In the new week, ask for recommendations, ask for collections! Thank you!
