Chapter 60: Reactions from all sides

Xing'an Tun, far away is a lush grassland and wild goats running in it. During the day, blue clouds and yellow blades of grass begin to appear on the ground. It forms a fascinating part of the northern landscape.

In this almost pristine place, there is an elegant melody ringing, and a record player, which was the first of its kind in its era, is playing American country music.

Card! The guard watched in confusion as Zou Zuohua pressed the switch, this Brigade Commander Zou usually enjoys this kind of Western gadget very much, why does he look a little restless now? It's a strange thing.

Zou Zuohua got up and walked around anxiously, this record player was bought by Zou Zuohua when he went to Fengtian City last month. And just now, he received a telegram from Mukden City.

At this time, the Japanese army attacked the northeast and occupied Changchun. At this time, Mukden City was also under the threat of the main force of the Kwantung Army and Korean reinforcements. The Japanese army did not encounter substantial resistance in Changchun, and only spent dozens of casualties to take the Nanling Artillery Regiment and enter Changchun. What a ridiculous thing! On the Mukden side, the 7th Brigade almost single-handedly resisted the main force of the entire Kwantung Army, although on the night of September 18, the 7th Brigade won the proud record of destroying nearly 4,000 enemies, and successfully blocked the main force of the Kwantung Army on the southeast bank of the Hunhe River.

But at this time the Japanese army was reinforcing in large forces. Mobilizing the troops stationed in Korea to reinforce them quickly, anyone with a discerning eye can see that if Mukden City does not get support at this time, as soon as the main force of the Japanese army stationed in Korea arrives, it will become the last straw that crushes the camel. No matter how strong the 7th Brigade was able to fight, and no matter how firm its determination to resist was, it could not hide the weakness of insufficient troops. What's more, the main force of the Kwantung Army did not have many heavy artillery units, and the heavy artillery of the Japanese army stationed in Korea was not comparable to the Northeast Army at this time.

Zou Zuohua is an artillery expert, once in charge of all the artillery under Zhang Zuolin, but in May of the 17th year of the Republic of China, after witnessing the Jinan tragedy, Zou Zuohua's mentality has undergone some changes. Zou Zuohua is a proud soldier, but his proud heart was shattered in the cold and cruel fact.

After the Jinan tragedy broke out, Zou Zuohua asked Zhang Zuolin to go to the Northeast Frontier to plead. Although Zhang Zuolin regretted Zou Zuohua's talent, after failing to retain him, he also had a mentality that there was no Zhang butcher and he would not eat hairy pigs. He approved Zou Zuohua's request, but Zou Zuohua made great contributions when he pacified Guo Guizi, and Zhang Zuolin was not a merciless person, so he gave him a brigade and asked him to come to Xing'an to reclaim the famine, and let him be the border supervisor here.

After becoming the supervision office here, Zou Zuohua was also quite indulgent for a while, and his past skills were thrown away a lot. Every time I go back to Fengtian City, I frequently haunt the foreigner bars, dance halls and other places in Fengtian City. I never trained like I used to. But at this time, in the face of the Japanese army's large-scale attack on Mukden. Zou Zuohua's heart tightened again. Is this really the life he wants?

Do you really want to be a slave to the country? In Jinan, the Japanese army has already committed one atrocity, can it be that they will watch the same history play out again in Mukden? No, we must not sit idly by and let this happen. Zou Zuohua clenched his fists and said to the guards, "Inform Hu Guangyi and immediately lead the cavalry to aid Fengtiancheng." Feng Tiance led the brigade to follow, and the others went to Fengtian with me, and sent a telegram to Fengtian City, hoping that the 7th Brigade would try its best to hold Fengtian City, and Zou Zuohua would lead the whole brigade to aid Fengtian! ”

"Yes, Brigade!"

"Disorderly life, this is simply a chaotic people, forget it if you don't resist, you even ignore the 7th Brigade that fought a bloody battle with the Japanese army, if you wait for the Korean Japanese army to arrive, where can Mukden still hold it!" Li Chunhua, a staff officer of the colonel of the Northern Parallel Battalion of the Northeast Army, patted the table with his eyes slightly red, and the tea on the table jumped up.

"If you can't twist your arms around your thighs, what can you do? All units of the Northeast Army were to be ordered by the young marshal to remain still, or the troops were transferred to Jinzhou, and if they fought against the Japanese army, they would have disobeyed the military order. Xiong Fei's face was flushed red because of excessive drinking, and he was the kind of person who liked his face when he drank.

"What can be done? Since the young marshal wants to be his Taiping young marshal in Beiping, I won't accompany him to live this kind of whitewashed peaceful life, I plan to return to Beiping, what are you going to do, are you reluctant to give up your position as the head of the regiment? Li Chunhua patted the table and said.

"You have returned to Fengtian, I stayed in Beiping to suffer this nest of anger, it is better to go back to Fengtian, but the soldiers in my regiment can't be pulled away, and the two battalions are taken away, and I don't know if I can live in Jinzhou." If the young marshal sent someone to detain my army, there would be no way to do it. Xiong Fei said angrily.

"If you can pull a little bit, Jiang Li will take a 7th Brigade to fight with the main force of the Kwantung Army, and the two of us will not be able to solve much trouble if we go north to Fengtian City empty-handed, I have to go back to my hometown in Haicheng first, pull up a group of people, and then go to participate in the defense of Fengtian City." Li Chunhua listened to Xiong Fei's approval, and felt a little encouraged in his heart, the current situation is corrupt, but there is no shortage of enthusiastic anti-Japanese people.

"So what should I do?" Xiong Fei hurriedly said, "I'm not a native of Fengtian, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull many people, and I'm afraid that the people in my headquarters won't even be able to get through Jinzhou." ”

"There is always a way, with the army withdrawn to the south, you let the soldiers in a group of three or five, it will not attract the attention of others, as for the guns in your hands, you can keep them, you can't keep them, there are many in the arsenal, as long as there are people, are you afraid that there will be no guns?" Li Chunhua reminded.

"That's right, there is an arsenal here, and I'm afraid that there won't be guns, and I fancy this matter." Xiong Fei slapped his head, and scolded and said, "The arsenal has spent tens of thousands of dollars before and after, and the young marshal is really willing, if it weren't for Jiang Li to snatch it back, it would be cheap for the Japanese directly, Xiucai met the soldiers, it is unreasonable, and he expects to rely on those foreign devils in the world to pull the fat out of the mouths of the Japanese army, is there such a good thing, the young marshal is really, he was blinded by lard, and the entire Fengtian City was also planted by Jiang Li and Commander Huang, and killed more than 4,000 devils in the first battle, blocking the main force of the Kwantung Army on the southeast bank of the Hunhe River. Think about it, it's so fucking energetic, the other troops are not very good, they are all useless things. ”

"But it's also bitter for the brothers of the 7th Brigade, they haven't rested much since last night, and I don't know if they can bear it if they go on like this." Li Chunhua said with some concern.

"The Japanese army attacked Mukden City, in this case, even if you want to sleep, where can you easily fall asleep, no matter how tired you are, you have to fight." Xiong Fei said in a hard voice. They are all people who know the soldiers, and most of the people who sleep in the North Battalion are after half past eight at night, but most of the soldiers really fall asleep until after nine o'clock. Wiped out more than 4,000 Japanese troops, running back and forth in the Beidaying, Dongdaying, and arsenals, and also eliminated the 29th Wing that entered Fengtian City. Now it is still fighting with the main forces of the Kwantung Army, where is there any time to rest.

"Let's go back to Mukden City as soon as possible, if we wait for the Japanese army in Korea to arrive first, maybe Mukden City will be defeated by the Japanese army." Li Chunhua immediately decided, "I'll go back and clean up later, and I'll leave today." ”

"I'm going back to the army now, Niang Xipi, I can't let little Japan easily occupy Mukden."
