"When are you going to leave?" Wang Yicai asked.

"I'll leave right away, but before I leave, I have one more thing to do." After Huang Xiansheng finished speaking, he turned his head and shouted to the doorman: "Guards, immediately notify all the platoon commanders and above officers in the city to assemble on Qingnian Street quickly!" ”

"Yes!" The doorman heard the sound of the guards in response, and in an instant there was a sound of footsteps speeding away.

Knowing what Huang Xiansheng was going to do, Zhang Xinghan and Wang Yicai hurriedly dodged and retreated to the side.

Huang Xiansheng was not polite, got up and took the lead and walked outside, and Zhang and Wang followed closely.

Half an hour later, on Qingnian Street, located north of the Hunhe River, about dozens of officers at all levels came here in full uniform, and long before they arrived, Huang Xiansheng, Zhang Xinghan, and Wang Yicai came here with the guards of the headquarters.

Nearly 100 officers and men of the guards had already set up a three-step, one-post, five-step and one-sentry on both sides of the street, and all the guards were armed with torches to illuminate this section of the road.

At this time, there is no asphalt concrete pavement in Qingnian Street, but a black soil pavement of all colors, but after years of stepping on it, the black soil pavement has become extremely strong, as long as it does not rain heavily, the pavement here is still very smooth and easy to walk.

By the light of the torches, dozens of officers at all levels saw Huang Xiansheng and his party, and immediately stepped forward quickly, saluting in unison: "Commander, seat, general." ”

After Huang Xiansheng saluted with a solemn face, his eyes swept over the subordinates in front of him who had been following him for a long time, and only after a long time did he say in a deep voice: "Brothers, I summoned you overnight because I have an important matter to announce to you. ”

"Sit, what's the matter?" A former police inspector was obviously Huang Xiansheng's old subordinate, and Huang Xiansheng's voice fell, so he asked in a loud voice.

Huang Xiansheng looked at the subordinate who had followed him for many years and said, "I just received an order from the young marshal, and he ordered me to withdraw from Fengtian and go to Beiping. ”

As soon as Huang Xiansheng's words came out, dozens of officers at all levels suddenly exploded, and the officer who spoke before said even more urgently: "Seat, what should we do with our brothers when you leave?" ”

"yes, Seat, what are we going to do when you're gone?" A group of officers at all levels echoed one after another.

Huang Xiansheng helplessly raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and said, "Brothers, don't worry, listen to what I say." ”

"First of all, as a soldier, a soldier must first take obedience to orders as his duty, don't you say?" Huang Xiansheng asked meaningfully.

The officers did not speak, but nodded their heads in agreement.

"Then I declare now that from now on, you will be under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Xinghan, and from now on, he will lead you to continue to defend Fengtian City, and continue to fulfill your oath and responsibility to defend Fengtian and live and die with Fengtian."

Huang Xiansheng said: "I hope that your brothers can obey my orders for the last time, because the battle between Beidaying and outside Fengtian City has proved that Lieutenant Colonel Zhang is both wise and brave, and it is definitely the best choice for him to command you." ”

Some officers were a little unwilling, after all, they had been following Huang Xiansheng for a long time, and they were loyal and admired Huang Xiansheng in their hearts, and they changed commanders for a while, which was somewhat difficult for them to accept.......

Huang Xiansheng didn't wait for them to finish speaking, waved his hand to stop it: "Don't say it, I just said, as soldiers, the first thing we must do is to absolutely obey the orders of our superiors and superiors, I evacuate Fengtian to Beiping, you stay and follow Zhang Xinghan to continue to defend the city, too!" ”

After speaking, Huang Xiansheng's gaze swept over the subordinates with awe.

The officers were helpless, so they had to stand up and say: "Yes! ”

Huang Xiansheng nodded with satisfaction, and then glanced sideways at Zhang Xinghan and motioned for him to speak.

How could Zhang Xinghan not understand his intentions, and he didn't shirk it, he immediately stepped out, first saluted everyone upright, and then asked loudly: "Brothers, tell us, are you soldiers?" ”

The officers looked up at Zhang Xinghan in a bit of a daze, and then looked left and right before they said perfunctorily: "Of course! ”

"Then please tell me again, where are you in the army?" Zhang Xinghan asked again.

"Northeast Army, Northeast Army." The officers replied again with some dissatisfaction.

"Well, it's good, you still remember that you are a soldier, a Northeast Army." Zhang Xinghan nodded, and then his tone suddenly changed: "Then do you remember what our responsibilities are as a soldier, especially as a Northeast Army?" ”

Without waiting for the officers to answer, Zhang Xinghan preemptively continued to shout: "Our duty is to defend the 30 million fathers and elders of the three eastern provinces, and to guard the territory of more than one million square kilometers of the three eastern provinces from being violated.

Because, I, Zhang Xinghan, can tell you responsibly that from this moment on, I will live and die with you, share honor and disgrace, and I will lead you to swear to live and die with Fengtian! ”

The officers' eyes on Zhang Xinghan changed a little, and Zhang Xinghan's words seemed to invisibly arouse the silent blood in their bodies and ignite their enthusiasm for defending their homes and the country.

Seeing this, Wang Yicai on the side took advantage of the situation to raise his arms and shouted: "Swear to live and die with Fengtian!" Swear to live and die with Mukden! ”

Finally, under the infection of Wang Yicai's sonorous and powerful shout, the officers raised their arms and shouted: "Swear to live and die with Fengtian!" Swear to live and die with Mukden......! ”

After a while, more than 100 guards on guard around couldn't help but roar in unison.

In the dark night, the roars of nearly 200 officers and soldiers resounded and echoed in the sky over the entire Fengtian City, and they used their roars to tell the hundreds of thousands of compatriots in Fengtian City who had already woken up and could not sleep that their Northeast Army would not flee alone, would not leave them alone, and they would swear to live and die with Fengtian!

Feeling the catharsis and shouts of the officers and soldiers from the heart, Huang Xiansheng, who was standing next to Zhang Xinghan, showed a pleased smile, this unit was handed over to Zhang Xinghan, yes.

After formally taking over the command of all the defenders in the city from Huang Xiansheng, Zhang Xinghan immediately moved his headquarters to an empty house in the south gate of the main attack direction of the Yue army.

After settling his headquarters, Zhang Xinghan urgently summoned Wang Yicai, Liu Jianguo and others, and instructed them: "Yicai, Jianguo, now I will arrange a particularly important task for the two of you, and you must complete it at all costs, because it is very important for us to hold Fengtian City in the future." ”

"Well, Xinghan, just say anything, we will definitely go all out." Wang Yicai nodded solemnly.

"Yes, camp, if you have anything, you can tell me." Liu Jianguo also nodded in agreement.

"Okay, first of all, the two of you should immediately personally lead a team of people to the Shenyang Arsenal and the airfield, and control them tightly, pay attention, when controlling the aircraft and the airfield, you must explain it to the air force, and ask their commander Gao Zhihang to come to the headquarters as soon as possible, I have something important to discuss with him."

Seeing that the two of them nodded and wrote them down one by one, Zhang Xinghan said again: "In addition, after the above things are done, you must quickly send someone to contact the students and instructors of the Northeast Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and bring them all to my city defense headquarters, I have important arrangements!" ”

"Yes!" The two saluted at the same time, and were about to take the order to leave.

There was a sudden rush of footsteps outside, and the three of them heard the voice, only to see a company commander Liu Guodong hurriedly running in, and before he could stand upright, he reported to Zhang Xinghan: "Camp, it's not good, Rong Ziheng, the commander of the Young Marshal Guards Battalion, heard that Huang Xiansheng was ordered to retreat, and he was also going to evacuate with the Guards Battalion, but he was stopped by the second company commander, and now the two sides have entered a state of confrontation, and the situation is extremely urgent!" ”

"Who? Rong Ziheng? "Zhang Xinghan has never heard of this person in his historical memory, and even the original memory of this body is not clear, the nobody who popped up there?

"Oh, Xinghan, this Rong Ziheng is the son of Rong Zhen, chief of staff of our Northeast Frontier Army." Wang Yicai, who was on the side, served as the chief of the police department in Fengtian, and it was naturally impossible not to know the second generation of a typical official like Rong Ziheng, explained.

"Rongzhen? Is that the son of the big smoker? The corners of Zhang Xinghan's mouth flashed with a trace of cold killing intent, and he said awe-inspiringly: "Company commander, gather troops and follow me!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Guodong suddenly agreed.

"Xinghan, his father is a big celebrity next to the young marshal, and Rong Ziheng himself is also a confidant of the young marshal, so this matter cannot be dealt with too drastically." Wang Yicai was afraid that Zhang Xinghan would do something impulsive in anger, so he kindly reminded.

"I know." Zhang Xinghan answered, and strode out with Liu Guodong, but before he went far, a voice came: "Yicai, you two don't have to worry about this matter, quickly go and do what I explained to you." ”
