Chapter VII

As recorded in history, the Japanese Kwantung Army, which had been plotting the Liaodong Peninsula for a long time, was already ready to go, waiting for the vanguard to take the Beida Battalion, which was like paper paste. However, a butterfly that should not have appeared made the Japanese who coveted China pay a great price before they occupied the entire three eastern provinces, and at the same time, the Japanese finally collapsed or even destroyed without even touching the corners of the three eastern provinces, cheapening Zhao Heng, an outsider from another time and space.

According to the normal historical process: On the night of September 18, at about 20 o'clock, the 3rd Company of the 2nd Battalion of the Hushili Garrison of the Japanese Kwantung Army left the Hushitai Barracks, where it was originally stationed, and marched south along the South Manchurian Railway. Among them, the Kawashima Squadron of the Shimamoto Brigade, which had participated in the bombing of Zhang Zuolin, the king of Northeast China, led his subordinates and others to blow up a section of the track from the South Manchurian Railway near Wicker Lake, about 800 meters south of Shenyang's Beidaying. In order to confuse the public, the Japanese army set up a fake scene here, and placed three corpses wearing Chinese soldiers' uniforms, in fact, these three corpses were all local people who were deceived and said that they were recruiting workers and the like, and in the end, they were lying and coaxing.

Originally, there were 4 people, because the devil suddenly blew up the railroad caused by the explosion caused the vigilance of the Chinese people present, the fierce Japanese began to kill without warning, because the night was dark, several Chinese people who were unwilling to be slaughtered rose up to resist, in the panic, one of them took the opportunity to escape the catastrophe and did not know what to do, the angry Kawamoto could not care about the Chinese who fled, and immediately issued an order to let the devils present take out the prepared things to arrange the illusion, so a good excuse for the Chinese ** team to destroy the railway was born. So at about 22:20 that night, the bodies of three innocent Chinese were put on the military uniforms of the Northeast Army and placed at the scene together with some explosives that exploded, as evidence of the Northeast Army's sabotage of the railway, falsely claiming that the Chinese ** team had sabotaged the railway and attacked the Japanese garrison, and even framed this as the work of the Southern Artillery Party.

At the same time as the explosion, Kawashima Squadron Leader, who was staying in Wenguantun, about four kilometers north of the railway blasting point, immediately led his troops south and began to attack the Beida camp. Under this pretext, the Second Brigade of the Japanese Independent Garrison launched a surprise attack on Beidaying, the garrison of the Northeast Chinese Army. All this was the first step in the plan of the Japanese Kwantung Army to plot to occupy the entire three eastern provinces.

After the explosion, the Japanese soldiers stationed in Beidaying and Shenyang City on the Chinese side divided into two routes, north and south, and attacked Beidaying, where the Chinese ** team was stationed. The Southern Army was the 2nd Regiment of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Kwantung Army under the command of Yukihiro Hirata, and the 2nd Battalion of the Railway Garrison under the command of Shoichi Shimamoto in the Northern Army.

On the night of the incident on September 18, 1931, Rong Zhen, chief of staff of the Office of the Commander of the Northeast Frontier Army, ordered the Northeast Army to "not resist, not to move, put the gun in the warehouse, stand up to death, everyone becomes benevolent, and sacrifices for the country." The next day, on September 19, 1931, Zhang Shaoshuai, the second-generation heir of the Feng family, said again in a conversation with a reporter from Tianjin Ta Kung Pao in Union Hospital: "I have ordered our soldiers to provoke the Japanese soldiers and not to resist. Therefore, our army in the northern camp ordered the ordnance to be collected and stored in the treasury as soon as possible." The local authorities in Northeast China, headed by Zhang Shaoshuai, adopted a policy of non-resistance to the Japanese attack after the incident.

Therefore, on the night of September 18, 1931, the 7th Brigade of the Northeast Army garrisoned by Beidaying was defenseless and was taken by surprise. In advance, Zhang Shaoshuai had instructed the Northeast Army not to resist, and the garrison troops did not make a fierce counterattack. Two of the three regiments of the 7th Brigade withdrew as instructed, but only Wang Tiehan's 620th Regiment did not receive the order to retreat in time and was forced to resist in self-defense, and finally broke through and withdrew. (Because of Wang Tiehan's resistance to Japan, Jiang Zhicheng of the Southern Beiyang Department praised him when he summoned him in Jinling: "I remember you, you did a good job in the situation in Shenyang Beidaying!") As a result of the execution of Zhang Shaoshuai's order not to resist, more than 10,000 defenders of Beida Battalion were routed by the Japanese army, which only had more than 5,000 men.

As with the above historical facts, at the beginning, the officers and men of the Northeast Army in Beidaying were sleeping soundly, except for a few defenders holding a few guns on the watchtower, they did not see any vigilance at all.

What happened next coincided with the history of later generations.

"Soft eggs, they're all fucking soft eggs. There are only more than 100 devils who can overturn this group of Northeast Army, doesn't the Northeast Army have a whole battalion? How is it so useless. "Zhao Heng, no, the current acting captain can be described as a continuous jump, and he has been directly promoted from acting to second-class captain. He looked at the image sent back by the stealth unmanned surveillance plane in front of him, and scolded hatefully.

"No, you can't wait like this, even if Lao Tzu doesn't stay in the Northeast, you can't let Little Japan occupy this place effortlessly." Zhao Heng looked at the humiliation of the modern history of the Chinese nation that was happening in front of him, and still decided to use the strength at hand to give the devils an unforgettable lesson.

After a burst of gunshots, there were two roars of heavy artillery of more than 200 mm caliber, part of the corner of the Beida battalion was blown away, and the entire defense was in danger. The soldiers can only use ** and a small number of weapons to fight with the premeditated devils.

"Hey, Dingfang, I'm Rong Zhen, what are you talking about?! There are only more than 100 devils killed in Beidaying, do you still want to resist? No way! The young marshal had an instruction early this morning: Do not resist or move against the Japanese soldiers, put your guns in the storehouse, stand up to death, and make sacrifices for the country. "Rong Zhen, the chief of staff of the Lieutenant General of the Office of the Commander of the Northeast Frontier Army, has the intention to kill the enemy and has no power to return to the sky for this kind of thing, after all, the young marshal has said that he will not resist, what else can he do. Regarding Wang Yizhe's report on the phone calling for a counterattack, he could only reply that Wang Yizhe was ordered by a young marshal far away in Beiping, and Zang Shiyi, the governor of Liao Province beside him, closed his eyes in pain.

With the gunfire of the Beida camp one after another, and the roar of the Japanese artillery hidden in the city, Huang Xiansheng, director of the Liaoning Provincial Police Department and director of the Shenyang City Public Security Bureau, had no way at all; as early as the eve of the "18 September" incident, he felt that something was wrong with the movements of the Japanese, and in order to find out what was going on, he worked hard to collect intelligence, report to the authorities, and ask for instructions on countermeasures. But due to Zhang Shaoshuai's irresistible orders, he could not do anything.

In fact, Huang had another proposition: Before the September 18 Incident, at the end of August, he had obtained information from the Japanese army through Xiong Fei, the chief police inspector at the time, and knew that the incident was about to happen (this was also the direct reason why Huang went to Peking to meet the young marshal), Huang refused to sit idly by, and immediately ordered the expansion of the police force and public security teams in the 58 counties under his jurisdiction into 12 corps after returning to Shenyang, and issued guns and ammunition. This move was significant, and these guns became one of the main sources of weapons in the volunteers of the Northeast Houbei. In the later Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, the police personnel of the former Northeast accounted for a very high proportion, and many famous Volunteer Army commanders, such as Deng Tiemei, Wang Fengge, Gao Yushan, etc., were all from the former Northeast police. Huang also made full arrangements for the police in Shenyang, organized 2,000 policemen into a corps and fired guns, and he himself has been in the office day and night since the beginning of September, ready to respond at any time. Therefore, the 918 Incident had just occurred, and the police corps he led (equivalent to the armed police, excluding the public security police and traffic police) had already left the office and joined the fight against it.

"Mara-bastard, go! Serve these dwarfs!! Waiting and waiting, but waiting for the young marshal who smoked a big cigarette and smoked in a daze, the angry Huang Xiansheng lost patience with the Japanese artillery, and with a wave of his hand, the 2,000 policemen and public security forces who had been waiting in the police station for a long time left the police department directly, killing the Kwantung Army headquarters where the Japanese artillery sounded.

"Kill all little Japan! Defend the North Battalion! Defend Mukden City!! The 2,000 police and police fighters roared angrily. Everyone's eyes were full of anger, each of them clenched the steel gun in their hands, Huang Xiansheng walked in the front, and at the same time, it was not these 2,000 people who were angry, some of the instructors and students of the martial arts hall who rushed to the place on leave after hearing the news also followed the team with the weapons they had privately obtained. Huang Xiansheng didn't want these future Chinese backbones to lose anything at first, but one of the students said something that touched him a lot, "The country has difficulties and responsibilities, and we and other teachers and students of Wutang are dignified Chinese people, how can we stay out of the matter." Can we just watch the blood and sacrifice of our brothers and remain indifferent? ”

Four Japanese Meiji 45-year 240mm heavy howitzers were erected in the courtyard of the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Shenyang, and in order to install and hide these cannons, a deep pit with a diameter of about 5 meters was dug in advance, saying that it was digging a swimming pool; A tinplate shack 10 meters square and 7 meters high was also made, which was carried out secretly from 12 midnight to 3 a.m. and completed in three days. Now dozens of general height of only 1.65 meters of devil artillery is in the spotlight to carry the shells, has been loaded with the barrel of the shell after being stuffed with the propellant bag, by two powerful devils closed the tail of the cannon, when everyone retreated to a safe place, responsible for pulling the cannon rope after the devil artillery saw that the people around were safe, slammed pull, 240mm caliber heavy artillery roaring and spitting out a huge muzzle flame at the same time let the people present feel a huge shock, and then the ears were full of roar, the muzzle flame has not yet dispersed a shell with death flew to the North Daying。
