Chapter 37: The Battle at the Airport (5)
Ishihara Waner and Itagaki Seishiro launched an attack on the south gate of Shenyang and the Dongta Airport at the same time, and Zhang Xinghan led a platoon of guards to the south gate to supervise the battle as a precaution.
At this time, there were only a few staff officers and a large number of guards left in the city defense headquarters located inside the south gate.
In the middle of the night, an American-made Ford sedan suddenly drove to the entrance of the city defense headquarters, and the guards at the door immediately stepped forward to ask, and Jin Yuhuang, who was sitting in the back seat, smiled and took out his identity certificate.
The guards looked at the provincial governor's secretary general, and hurriedly saluted and asked, "Secretary General Jin, may I ask you what's the matter?" ”
"I came to you on the orders of the Governor of Tibet, is he there?" Jin Yuhuang still smiled.
The guard did not doubt him, and replied: "Staff Officer Song is at the headquarters, do you want me to inform him?" ”
"No need, I'll just go in and find him myself." Saying that, Jin Yuhuang pushed the door and got out of the car.
Seeing this, the guards hurriedly retreated to the side, and Jin Yuhuang glanced around and strode towards the headquarters.
In the headquarters, Song Dexian, the former deputy commander of the guard battalion of the Young Marshal's Mansion, was smoking and chatting with Guo Zhong, the commander of the guard company of the guard company, Guo Zhong was the commander of the guard platoon of the former 3rd Battalion, and belonged to Zhang Xinghan's henchman.
The two of them both served in the guard army, and their experiences were similar to each other's surnames, so they felt a sense of sympathy for each other.
The reason why Guo Zhong and Song Dexian got closer was of course that Zhang Xinghan was not very comfortable with him, and secretly asked Guo Zhong to get closer to him, trying to win him over and making it easier to monitor on the other.
When Jin Yuhuang strode into the city defense commander's compound, Guo Zhong and Song Dexian found him, Guo Zhong didn't recognize him, but Song Dexian, who was the deputy commander of the guard battalion of the Young Marshal's Mansion, did.
Therefore, without waiting for Guo Zhong to speak, Song Dexian hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "Secretary General Wang, why are you here?" ”
Guo Zhong heard this, so he had to step forward to salute but did not speak.
"Hehe, Staff Officer Song, I came to discuss some things with you as the governor of Tibet, do you think you can do it?" Jin Yuhuang said and looked at Guo Zhong.
Song Dexian didn't think much about it, and hurriedly turned sideways and said, "Secretary General Jin, please come in and speak." ”
"Okay." Jin Yuhuang nodded in agreement, and walked towards the war room.
Song Dexian turned back to Guo Zhong and smiled apologetically: "Brother Guo, I'll go and discuss some things with Secretary-General Jin first, and we'll talk later." ”
"Okay." Guo Zhong didn't show any dissatisfaction, nodded in response, but his eyes were fixed on Jin Yuhuang's back, full of doubts.
Song Dexian patted Guo Zhong's shoulder gratefully, said no more, turned around and walked in.
After seeing Song Dexian enter, Guo Zhong immediately turned around and walked out.
In the war room, after Song Dexian came in, Jin Yuhuang looked behind him to make sure that everyone was in a low voice: "Staff Officer Song, you come here." ”
"Secretary-General Kim, what is the matter with you coming to the humble post this time?" Song Dexian walked over and asked, puzzled.
"Staff Officer Song, this is a secret telegram sent by the young marshal from Beiping, you can take a look." Jin Yuhuang took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Song Dexian mysteriously.
Song Dexian took the telegram with a slightly surprised expression, opened it and looked at it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he looked up at Jin Yuhuang with a shocked face and said, "Secretary General Jin, is this true?" The young marshal wants to arrest Commander Zhang? ”
"What bullshit commander, his commander is Huang Xiansheng, the young marshal and the Nanjing political axe have never admitted it, he killed your commander Rong Ziheng, the battalion commander, and openly disobeyed the young marshal's order, he has committed a capital crime, the young marshal ordered us to evacuate Shenyang, to avoid a greater conflict with the Yue army, thus causing a full-scale war, Zhang Xinghan He did not measure his strength, and tried in vain to fight a decisive battle with Yue himself, which is extremely stupid."
"What does the young marshal need me to do?" Song Dexian asked subconsciously.
"Seize Zhang Xinghan and instigate the governor of Tibet to seize military power." Jin Yuhuang said in a low voice.
"Catch Zhang Xinghan? He's a hero?! Song Dexian fell into a struggle and hesitation in his heart.
"Staff Officer Song, don't forget, who killed your Rong battalion commander and annexed the guard battalion, and now you are transferred to this headquarters as a staff officer with no real power, and the purpose is not to empty you? What does this mean, it shows that he Zhang Xinghan has never trusted you, as long as you help Governor Zang complete the tasks assigned by the young marshal, you will be a great achievement, and when the guard battalion is reorganized, the position of battalion commander belongs to you. Jin Yuhuang hurriedly lured.
Song Dexian was a little moved, indeed, Zhang Xinghan transferred himself to the City Defense Headquarters as an operational staff officer, and it seemed that he was promoted, but in fact he lost his military power, which can be described as a bright promotion and a secret descent.
However, thinking of what Zhang Xinghan said when he intercepted them at the West Gate last night, Song Dexian hesitated again.
As a soldier, especially as a guard battalion, he is deeply favored by the marshal and the young marshal, how can he sit back and watch himself seize the territory of our three eastern provinces?
The handsome blood revenge has not been avenged, how can you retreat to the customs with peace of mind and steal your life?
The words that Zhang Xinghan said yesterday kept echoing in his ears, and Song Dexian knew that if he made a move and arrested Zhang Xinghan, then Shenyang City would definitely fall, and he would become a sinner for the ages if he couldn't say it.
Seeing Song Dexian's hesitation, Jin Yuhuang was anxious, and immediately shouted in a low voice: "Staff Officer Song, do you want to disobey the young marshal's order?" Don't forget, how much kindness the young marshal and the big marshal have to you. ”
Song Dexian's brows were even more furrowed, what Jin Yuhuang said was the truth, Zhang's father and son were indeed kind to all the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion, including him.
Although there are elements that shroud people's hearts, they are indeed treated well.
After hesitating again and again, Song Dexian abandoned the idea of putting national righteousness first, chose the so-called loyalty and gratitude, and said to Jin Yuhuang: "Please Secretary-General Jin tell the governor of Tibet, and Song will follow the order." ”
"Okay, when are you going to do it? Can you mobilize some of your forces at this headquarters? Jin Yuhuang asked with great joy.
Unexpectedly, Song Dexian shook his head helplessly and said: "The garrison of the city defense commander is all in the hands of that person just now, he is Zhang Xinghan's henchman, and without his order, no one can mobilize a single soldier." ”
"That's going to be difficult, it's not easy for you to do it alone." Jin Yuhuang frowned.
"Secretary-General Jin, isn't the governor of Tibet going to take over the military power of the Shenyang City Defense Army?" Song Dexian said.
"Well, but you have to control Zhang Xinghan first." Jin Yuhuang said without thinking.
"In this way, when you and the Tibetan governor bring people to the headquarters, I will take the opportunity to control Zhang Xinghan and coerce him to hand over the military power, and the Tibetan governor will take over directly." Song Dexian thought for a while and said, "Do you think this will work?" ”
"We are definitely coming to the headquarters, but can we control Zhang Xinghan alone? If anything goes wrong, we're all done. Jin Yuhuang said with some concern.
"Please rest assured that Secretary General Jin has been practicing martial arts for many years, and there is no opponent in the entire guard battalion, and I am confident enough to subdue and control Zhang Xinghan." Song Dexian said confidently. In fact, his skills are indeed good, if Rong Ziheng is not Rong Zhen's son, the position of commander of the guard battalion should have been his Song Dexian.
