In September, the first battalion of the 3rd Regiment began to take shape, and the other two battalions did not know where the shadow was!

The reason why the first battalion was able to take shape so quickly was inseparable from Xiao Linghu's ability to move in the West Liang Ma Chao. In the fastest period of a month and a half, in addition to the corps recruiting troops near Nanjing, Xiao Linghu took Wen Sen to the army hospital a few times, and brought all the soldiers who had been injured and cured and had no major problems.

Wen Sen disorganized and reorganized these veterans and recruits, and soon became a fighting force.

In the next two months, the training of the first battalion of the third regiment was in full swing, but Xiao Linghu and Wen Sen were so busy that they had no time to spare.

Xiao Linghu became thinner and thinner, and his face was tanned as black as an African, and every time Xiao Lingshuang saw it, he couldn't feel the heartache. However, Xiao Linghu didn't think so, his whole body exuded a kind of sunshine and self-confidence, which was absolutely different from when he was just an ordinary big-headed soldier, his heart was very high, that is, he wanted to build his company into the strongest steel knife in the entire teaching corps.

At the end of this year, an event finally occurred that attracted the attention of all Chinese and people around the world: On 12 December, Zhang Xueliang, commander of the Northeast Army, who abandoned his land and ran into Shanhaiguan without firing a single shot during the September 18 Incident, together with Yang Hucheng, a warlord in the northwest, launched the Xi'an Incident and detained Chiang Kai-shek, who had gone to supervise the war.

The whole country was in an uproar.

At the time of the Xi'an Incident, the Teaching Corps was holding the whole team's sports meeting on the large playground, and the 1st Company of the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment competed for the championship of the basketball game.

On the field, Xiao Linghu played in person, and cooperated with Chu Liang to play one, and three consecutive goals locked the score of the two companies at 39 to 30, and the three regiments, one battalion and one company almost won the battle.

But at this time, the head of the third regiment Ma and the head of the first regiment came over together, the two of them had gloomy faces, and as soon as they arrived, they ordered the game to stop, and all the personnel gave half an hour to prepare, and then gathered in the playground, and the captain had important news to announce.

Everyone was stunned, seeing that their company was about to win, Xiao Linghu was very annoyed, threw off the ball in his hand, ran to the side of the head of the horse, and asked: "Tuanzuo, we are all about to win, what kind of play are you singing?" ”

Captain Ma looked at Captain Zhou on the side with a bitter face, and said, "No way, this is the order of the captain!" ”

"Why?" Others followed.

"There's going to be a war!" Head Zhou said.

"Huh? Is it with the Japanese? Suddenly, Xiao Linghu became interested.

Commander Ma shook his head and said, "We are going to Shaanxi to fight the Northeast Army!" ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

"The principal was detained by Zhang Xueliang's dog mongrel!" Captain Zhou scolded hatefully.

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned, in the barracks, there were many things that were not communicated with the outside world in a timely manner, even Xiao Linghu only learned about this matter through the notice of his superiors.

Half an hour later, all the people lined up neatly on the playground, and the captain Gui Yongqing appeared at the front of the team, he stepped up to the front desk, informed everyone about the Xi'an incident, and denounced Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng's despicable and illegal acts, he raised his arms and shouted:

"The purpose of these national scum is nothing more than to establish a tripartite regime in the northwest to contend with the central government, and their so-called alliance with the Communist Party to resist Japan is simply nonsense. If you want to resist Japan, what did he Zhang Xueliang do earlier? When the Northeast was lost, he didn't fire a single shot, he hid in Beijing and smoked a big cigarette, and the central government sent them to Shaanxi to suppress bandits. ”

The officers and soldiers below were indignant, and their hatred for the Northeast Army and Zhang Xueliang became stronger, and many people began to chatter.

Gui Yongqing waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and he continued: "Adhering to the ideology of the Father of the Nation, the committee has been committed to the unification and prosperity of our country. As for the issue of resistance against Japan, the principal has never had the slightest opposition, and he has also said that if we are in a mess at home, and there is no force to hold back, we can talk about the issue of resistance against Japan. It is a provocation against the Japanese side, and the commission does not turn a deaf ear, last month, if it were not for the support of the central government, Suiyuan's War of Resistance would not have been won! ……”

"Go to Xi'an and rescue the chairman!" I don't know who suddenly shouted below.

This shout was like a thunderclap, which immediately attracted the echo of countless people.

For a while, various slogans rose one after another, and some people shouted: "Down with Zhang Xueliang and capture Yang Hucheng alive!" ”

Some people also shouted: "Zhang Yang is the lackey of the Japanese!" ”

Some people even shouted: "Long live!" Long live the chairman! ”……

Listening to the angry and abnormal looks of the officers and soldiers below, Gui Yongqing felt that this situation was almost over, and he hurriedly asked everyone to calm down several times, and at the same time said: "I am also as anxious as you, but for going to Xi'an, this matter is relatively important, and we have to study it first." After the meeting, the cadres above the battalion level will hold a meeting in the conference room, and they will dismiss first, but in the next few days, they are not allowed to ask for leave, they are not allowed to go out, maybe our action will start soon! ”

After the briefing was over, everyone dispersed, leaving only those above the battalion commander to go to the conference room.

At a very late hour, the meeting of battalion-level cadres was dispersed, and at this time, Xiao Linghu and many side commanders and platoon commanders in the first battalion of the third regiment were already waiting at the door of Wen Sen's dormitory.

"How?" Xiao Linghu is also very concerned.

Hearing that the battalion commander let everyone into the house, the dormitory was suddenly crowded with people.

"It's decided!" Wen Sen told everyone: "We unanimously asked to go to Xi'an, and the captain has agreed to ask the Military Commission for help!" ”

Hearing this result, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they also knew that if this battle really went on, they didn't know what the outcome would be? If Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng are forced to kill the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, I am afraid that the situation in China will be even worse.
