In this way, the two sides fell into anxious waiting and confrontation.

After nearly twenty minutes, there was a noisy sound of footsteps in the city, and Huang Xiansheng hurried up to the city with more than 100 soldiers.

The captain and company commander at the head of the city, who was waiting for him, hurriedly greeted and saluted: "General, you are here." ”

"How's it going?" Huang Xiansheng asked as he walked to the edge of the battlement wall and looked out of the city.

The 200 officers and men of the 7th Brigade outside the city gate said that the 400 or 500 people who came just now were not the Yue army, but the main force of the 3rd Battalion of the Yue army, and they also said that they were responsible for the big explosion in the direction of the Yue army's position just now. However, just in case, the lowly office still didn't let them in, and waited for you to come and decide. The captain replied.

"Hmm." Huang Xiansheng patted him on the shoulder and said approvingly: "Good job." ”

Outside the city, Zhang Xinghan noticed that there was a sudden crowd of people on the city, and knew that it might be that reinforcements from inside the city had arrived, so he immediately stood up and shouted loudly: "Brothers in the city, I wonder if the police commissioner, General Huang Xiansheng, agrees to let us into the city?" ”

"Hmph, damn it, Lao Tzu is Huang Xiansheng, who are you?" Huang Xiansheng heard Zhang Xinghan's question and asked coldly.

"General Huang, the humble post is Zhang Xinghan, the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment of the 7th Brigade of the Reading Force, three hours ago, the army suddenly attacked the Beida Battalion, I was ordered to lead the troops to block, after the bloody battle of the whole battalion brothers finally annihilated the attacking army, and heard that Fengtian was in a hurry, Xinghan led all the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion to rush over, just took the opportunity to end the command post and artillery position of the 29th Infantry Wing of the Yue Army, in a short period of time Kou has been unable to attack Fengtian City, but our brothers fought fiercely in the middle of the night, has been exhausted, in order to prevent the pursuit of the army, but also asked General Huang to open the city gate quickly, Let us into town. Zhang Xinghan responded loudly.

"What? You have completely annihilated the army that attacked the Beida camp? Got rid of the command and artillery positions of the little devils again? Huang Xiansheng thought of the big explosion in the rear of the army's position just now, and the letter general frowned and pondered.

After a long time, Huang Xiansheng said to the outside of the city: "Battalion Commander Zhang, I'm really sorry, there are many company commanders of the seventh brigade, I really don't dare to recognize you, so let's do it, your brigade General Wang Yizhe should still be in the city, I sent someone to ask him to come and verify your true identity, you can rest and wait outside the city first." ”

"General Huang?" Zhang Xinghan was in a hurry, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, and he immediately turned around and ordered all the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion: "Brothers, all of us can still sing in the 7th Brigade of Reading Force, right?" Now I'm going to start and everyone sings with me. ”

"Hurt my nation, repeatedly oppressed by strong neighbors......"

"Hurt my nation, repeatedly oppressed by strong neighbors, the saddest, cede land and pay compensation, deprivation of sovereignty Great rivers and mountains into brokenness, Shenzhou is bare-bones and semi-adrift, who is there? Be able to rise up to save the motherland and save the motherland!

The officers and soldiers of my 7th Brigade hurry up, be responsible quickly, and are willing to work together with one heart, the Prime Minister's will will never be forgotten, and the commander's will must be strict, ride the long wind and break through the waves of thousands of miles, and save China! ”

Under the leadership of Zhang Xinghan, including Liu Guodong's department outside the city gate, all the more than 700 officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion sang in unison, and the neat, high and tragic singing resounded throughout the night sky of the North Gate.

Feeling the tragedy and sorrow of the song, the defenders at the head of the city were all moved, and Huang Xiansheng was even more stunned on the spot, losing his mind for a long time.

As the director of the Liaoning Provincial Police Department and the director of the Fengtian Police Bureau, he and Wang Yizhe are both colleagues and friends, so it is naturally impossible not to know the song of the Seventh Brigade.

"Open the gates and let them in." When the first wave of singing stopped and the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion continued to repeat the singing, Huang Xiansheng finally came back to his senses.

"Yes!" The captain and company commander were also very excited, gladly accepted the order, and ran down to the city in person.

After Zhang Xinghan led his troops into the city, Huang Xiansheng was already waiting in the city gate cave with a team of guards.

Maybe the original Zhang Xinghan had seen Huang Xiansheng, so Zhang Xinghan recognized him at a glance, and hurriedly took Liu Jianguo, Liu Guodong, Gao Junjun and other subordinates to step forward and salute: "General Huang." ”

"Brethren, you have worked hard." Huang Xiansheng hurriedly returned the salute, and then said solemnly: "Go, hurry up and go into the city to rest." ”

After entering the city, Zhang Xinghan ordered Gao Chu and Liu Guodong to lead the troops to find a place to rest and eat, and he and Liu Jianguo came to the south gate of the main battlefield with Huang Xiansheng.

As soon as the group walked up to the city, Wang Yicai, who was left behind to command, greeted him, and when he saw Zhang Xinghan, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Xinghan, why are you here?" ”

"How do you know each other?" Huang Xiansheng was a little surprised.

"Seat, he is my best friend, and the two of us grew up together in open crotch pants." Wang Yicai explained with some excitement.

"Oh?" Huang Xiansheng pointed at Zhang Xinghan and said: "Battalion Commander Zhang led his troops to stick to the North Battalion, annihilated the invading enemy, and led his troops to rush to the aid of Fengtian. ”

"No wonder!" Wang Yicai suddenly realized.

"How?" Huang Xiansheng looked at him puzzled.

"After you went to the north gate, the Yue army began to retreat, for which I also sent a reconnaissance squad out of the city to reconnoiter the truth, and learned that the Yue army had indeed withdrawn from all positions outside the city and was withdrawing towards its original station." Wang Yicai said.

"Really? Great, this way Fengtian City will be preserved for the time being, and I have to hurry up and report to the young marshal. Huang Xiansheng said excitedly.

"Yicai, you and Battalion Commander Zhang will stay here for the time being, in case the army comes, I will go back to the headquarters first." Huang Xian said.

"Yes!" Wang Yicai and Zhang Xinghan stood up at the same time.

Huang Xiansheng nodded and went down the city with the guards.

…………………………………………

Lushun is the headquarters of the Kwantung Army.

Concerned about launching an offensive against the Northeast Army and seizing control of the Northeast by force, the current commander of the Kwantung Army, Shigeru Honjo, has not slept until now, but has been anxiously waiting for the progress and news of the situation in the war room, accompanied by several operational staff officers of the headquarters.

In the midst of anxious waiting, a rush of footsteps sounded in vain, and a communications adjutant officer of the Chinese army staggered into the war room with a panicked look.

Seeing the communication adjutant like this, Honjo Shigeru chuckled in his heart, and a sense of foreboding rose.

"Sakamoto-kun, what's going on?" An operational staff officer stepped forward to ask.

"Division, Your Excellency Commander, no, it's not good." The adjutant of communications of the army, named Sakamoto, panicked and reported intermittently: "No., 29th Infantry, United, United......"

"Baga, make it clear, don't be nervous!" Honjo was furious at his gaffe, slapped the table and shouted loudly.

Sakamoto was suddenly silent, and after a cold shock, he stood up and said: "Report to Your Excellency General, the 29th Infantry Wing has an urgent telegram, just now, the command and artillery positions of the 29th Infantry Wing were raided by the Northeast Army, the artillery was annihilated, and all the artillery was destroyed, including the commander of the 29th Infantry Wing, Yukihiro Hirata, and a number of senior officers were also unfortunately killed, and now the command hub of the 29th Infantry Wing has been seriously damaged, in order to defend the Northeast Army in the city, take advantage of the situation to counterattack, All the brigades under the jurisdiction of the 29th Infantry Wing took the initiative to evacuate Mukden and returned to their original positions to stand by. ”

"What?" Despite his mental preparations, Honjo Shigeru was deeply shocked that the 29th Infantry Wing had failed? And even the command and artillery were all in one place, this, how is this possible?

However, misfortune does not go alone, and before Honjo Shigeru can recover from the shock just now, another lieutenant of the army rushed to the scene, and his expression was also flustered.

"Your Excellency General, I just got the latest information, and the 2nd Brigade of the South Manchurian Railway Garrison, which was ordered to attack the Beida Battalion, was wiped out under the captain Shimamoto Shoichi in the battle of attacking the Beida Battalion!" The corresponding lieutenant hurriedly reported.

"Nani?" Honjo Shigeru was completely stupid, and even the second garrison brigade of Reading Power was completely wiped out? What's going on here? Didn't Seishiro Itagaki and Ishihara Waner insist that the plan was foolproof, and Zhang Xueliang had already ordered the Northeast Army not to resist?

So how could this still happen?

A series of questions appeared one after another in Honjo's mind.

"Immediately report this information to Seishiro Itagaki and Ishihara Wanji, and ask them to come up with an emergency response plan immediately! Hurry up and drop! When Honjo Shigeru was in turmoil, he thought of the specific contrigues and planners of this incident, Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro, if the incident of seizing the northeast by force ended in failure, then he, the commander of the Kwantung Army who had just taken office, would definitely not be able to get out of it.

Ishihara and Itagaki, who were the actual instigators of this incident, were even more culpable, so they would definitely try their best to salvage the situation until victory, and thinking of this, Shigeru Honjo, who was already mediocre in his intellect, immediately threw the problem at the two of them like a ball.

………………………………………

At the Fengtian Station of the South Manchurian Railway, a large number of troops have been put on alert here.

After a long journey of more than ten hours, Ishihara Waner and Itagaki Seishiro, two good friends, finally arrived at Nanman Station (that is, Shenyang Station).

However, as soon as they got off the train, before the two could board the car that had been prepared for the front headquarters, a communications officer who accompanied them ran over in a hurry.

He suddenly retracted his feet and reported to the two: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, it's not good, the headquarters has just transferred the latest battle report from the front. ”

"How's it going?" Seishiro Itagaki and Ishihara looked at each other, and asked anxiously in their hearts.

"The attacks of the 29th Infantry Wing and the 2nd Reading Force Garrison Brigade of the South Manchurian Railway ended in failure, and the 2nd Garrison Brigade of Shoichi Shimamoto was completely wiped out outside the Beida Camp, the headquarters and artillery positions of the 29th Wing were destroyed, and Commander Hirata and a number of senior officers were also unfortunately shattered." The Communications Officer reported quickly.

"This? How is this possible? Itagaki Seishiro's face was full of disbelief.

"Returning to Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, this news is from the Lushun Command, and it is confirmed." The Communications Officer replied.

"Bagaya Road, what the hell is going on?" Itagaki Seishiro was suddenly furious, and Ishihara Wan'er on the side took advantage of the situation to grab him and whispered: "Go to the front-line headquarters first, ask about the situation and then make a decision." ”
