A few minutes later, Seishiro Itagaki and Ishihara Waner, escorted by a large number of guards, arrived at Sujiatun near the South Manchurian Railway, where the 2nd Infantry Wing of the 2nd Division and the Railway Garrison were stationed.

By the time Seishiro Itagaki and Ishihara arrived at Sujiatun, the 29th Infantry Wing had already withdrawn under the leadership of their respective captains.

Upon learning of this, Ishihara and his wife immediately had the officers of the 29th Infantry Wing at the rank of second lieutenant and above come to the headquarters for a meeting.

In a short time, the headquarters that was not very wide was crowded with officers at all levels, but except for Ishihara Waner and Itagaki Seishiro, none of the officers present exceeded the rank of Osa, and the highest was Shaosa.

Seeing this, Ishihara Wan'er couldn't help but gasp even though he had been mentally prepared, the entire 29th Infantry Wing, the best field wing in the empire, and its command hub was unexpectedly destroyed by the Northeast Army and artillery units, which was a great shame for the imperial army of the Great Empire, which boasted of being invincible.

In contrast, what shocked and puzzled Ishihara even more, was it the Northeast Army that did all this?

According to his understanding of the Northeast Army in the Fengtian area, the only one who has the ability to do it is the Seventh Brigade of the Northeast Army's elite Wang Yizhe, but didn't Zhang Xueliang and the Nanjing political axe led by Jiang have already ordered that they are not allowed to resist?

Wang Yizhe, how dare he openly disobey orders and start a war with the imperial army?

Just when Ishihara was full of doubts, a member of the special high school walked in quickly and sent a copy of the latest detailed military information to Ishihara Waner.

After Ishihara Wan'er read it, his face was even more surprised, and when Seishiro Itagaki saw this, he hurriedly asked, "Ishihara-kun, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Itagaki-kun, see for yourself." Ishihara Wan'er handed the information to Itagaki and said: "According to the information, the Seventh Brigade of the Northeast Army's elite Reading Force stationed in Beidaying gave up resistance and retreated to the area of Dongshanzuizi at the beginning of the war, leaving less than half a regiment to block the attack, and the Zhina Army that stuck in Mukden City had almost no regular troops, and most of them were temporarily composed of retired soldiers and military police. ”

"What? So, wasn't the 29th Infantry Wing defeated by a rabble of irregulars? Itagaki Seishiro looked at the information in his hand in surprise, and then said: "No, the intelligence says that the strength of the Seventh Brigade of the Northeast Army left in the Beida Camp is less than half a regiment, so how could the Second Garrison Brigade of Shimamoto Shoichi be completely wiped out outside the Beida Camp?" Could it be the Northeast Army, which is less than half a regiment? ”

Ishihara was unable to explain the question raised by Seishiro Itagaki, and after a moment of silence, he asked the accompanying communications adjutant, "How is the progress of the other troops at present?" Did the attack on Yingkou, Fushun and Siping go smoothly? ”

"Returning to Your Excellency, according to a report not long ago, the attacks of all units on the above-mentioned areas have been very smooth, and the defenders of the Northeast Army in various places are all about to collapse at the touch of a button and flee without a fight, and the Imperial Army has basically controlled all the major towns along the South Manchurian Railway." The communications adjutant replied.

"That's not right, if Zhang Xueliang instructed all the departments of the Northeast Army to resolutely resist, then how could the defenders of the Northeast Army in the above-mentioned areas all flee without a fight? How could the Seventh Brigade easily abandon the strategic location of Beidaying? Ishihara muttered as if to himself.

"Ishihara-kun, how do you explain the encounter between the 29th Infantry Wing and the 2nd Garrison Brigade of Reading Force?" Seishiro Itagaki asked.

"This, I think, should be that some of the Northeast Army in the Fengtian region are unwilling to evacuate and give up, and refuse to carry out Zhang Xueliang's orders, and act spontaneously, just like Huang Xiansheng organized military police and retired soldiers to defend Fengtian City, but we still don't know who they are for the time being? Being able to completely annihilate the island's main brigade and inflict heavy damage on the 29th Infantry Wing is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. Ishihara said meaningfully.

"So what do we do next? Do you want to continue the attack on Mukden City? Seishiro Itagaki asked.

"Attack, of course." Ishihara Wan'er turned around as he spoke, came to the wall where the giant battle map was hung, and pointed to the South Manchurian railway line on the map: "Itagaki Jun, you see, at present, from Siping to Yingkou, in addition to Fengtian City, more than a dozen important towns along the line have been controlled by us, and now Fengtian City has become a lonely city, as long as we send cavalry troops to quickly seize Xinmin and cut off the retreat of the Fengtian defenders to retreat south to Jinzhou, then they will become turtles in the urn, and they will not escape." ”

"What does Ishihara-kun mean?" Seishiro Itagaki was eager to try by Ishihara's analysis.

"Immediately send reinforcements to prepare for the siege of Fengtian City, and quickly send cavalry troops to attack Xinmin, after dawn, our air force units can take off to support the operation, and then re-attack Fengtian City, tonight's defeat is nothing, and it is after dawn that the show will really be staged!" Ishihara said confidently with a calm and calm expression.

"Yo Xi, just do what Ishihara-kun said." After hearing this, Itagaki Seishiro nodded approvingly: "After dawn, I will personally command the siege of Fengtian City, and Ichixue will be ashamed tonight!" ”

……………………

At the same time that Ishihara Waner and Itagaki Seishiro mobilized their forces to prepare for the siege of Mukden Castle, which had almost become a lonely city.

Inside the garrison headquarters of Mukden City.

Huang Xiansheng's face was extremely gloomy, just now, he came to the headquarters full of excitement, and was about to personally send a telegram to Zhang Xueliang, the young marshal in Beiping City, to report the victory of Zhang Xinghan's troops to the whole annihilation army, but he unexpectedly received bad news from the defenders in Siping, Yingkou and other places.

In just a few hours, almost all the important towns along the South Manchurian railway line were attacked by the Yue army, and because the young marshal had an order in advance, the defenders all abandoned the city to avoid the battle, so more than a dozen important towns all fell into the hands of the Yue Kou.

What this means to Fengtian City, Huang Xiansheng is extremely clear.

What made Huang Xiansheng even more angry was that when he called this happy and sad information with a complicated mood and was about to report it to Zhang Xueliang, the attendant who answered the phone told him that Zhang Xueliang had gone to the theater and was not in the official residence.

As the absolute commander of the Northeast Army, he Zhang Xueliang still has the leisure to listen to the play at such a critical juncture?

At this moment, Huang Xiansheng couldn't help but feel compassion and some discouragement, because the army had captured all the important cities along the South Manchurian Railway except for Fengtian City, which made Fengtian City become a lonely city.

In Huang Xiansheng's opinion, Fengtian City may not be able to be saved, so how can he not be disheartened?
