On the evening of the 11th, Shaofan and Shaolong came to Zhang Xueliang's official residence, they were enthusiastically taken into a study but never saw Zhang Shaoshuai, the two sat quietly in the study and waited for a long time, but the young marshal still did not appear, the more they felt about this matter, the more strange they felt. Shaofan stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the courtyard, and saw two groups of soldiers rushing in. Shaofan shouted: "Not good! As soon as he finished speaking, he saw more than a dozen soldiers rushing in under the leadership of a company commander.

"What are you doing? You want to rebel! Shaolong said.

"Captain Shen made you guess right." A captain officer walked in and said, "In the early hours of tomorrow morning, we will mutini and arrest Chiang Kai-shek to force him to resist the Japanese." The young marshal asked us to invite you to General Yang's residence. ”

Shaofan smiled and said to himself: "It seems that I guessed correctly. ”

Shaofan and Shaolong had no choice but to follow the captain into the car and drive towards Yang Hucheng's official residence, which was 22:00 on the evening of December 11.

At 23:30 on December 11, Xi'an Railway Station. The train station was extremely busy, and a large pair of people were preparing to embark on the front line of suppressing the Communists. Shen Yingchang was watching the specific deployment of the suppression of the Communist Party in a special compartment, when he heard a few gunshots coming from outside the carriage, which was quickly covered by the noisy sound.

"Hmm!" Shen Yingchang said: "Where are the guns?" The correspondent went to see and told them not to shoot indiscriminately. ”

"Yes!" Before the correspondent could leave the carriage, a group of Northeast Army rushed in and shouted: "Don't move!" At the same time, Shen Yingchang's guards also took out their guns, and the two weapons were tense.

"Don't move!" "Put the gun down!" "Don't move!" Northeast dialect; Sunan dialect; The Shandong Whisper Room was filled with this carriage, and the tense atmosphere spread here.

Shen Yingchang is not a veteran of a hundred battles, he is extremely calm, he picked up a pipe from the table and said while stuffing the tobacco wire: "Put down all the guns." Shen Yingchang's tone was calm and incomparably majestic, and his tone was slow and not panicked. After finishing speaking, he sat down on the sofa on the side and said: "Chief of Staff Zhao, order the troops not to resist, and all officers and soldiers are not allowed to enter the carriage within five minutes without my order and are not allowed to leave the carriage for half a step." ”

"Yes!" The chief of staff said.

Shen Yingchang smiled and said to the officer of the Northeast Army: "It seems that Zhang Hanqing and Yang Hucheng have indeed done it. ”

"General Shen! General Yang has already confessed his humble duties, as long as the 10th Corps stays in the carriage, we can guarantee the safety of General Shen and your subordinates. The officer said.

Shen Yingchang said with a smile: "None of me and my Tenth Corps are afraid of death, I just don't want the incident to escalate." You go back and tell Yang Hucheng and Zhang Xueliang that they do have courage and courage, and I Shen Yingchang admires them very much. But please don't do things absolutely, and you will be all wrong. ”

"Yes! The lowly duty must be relayed. The officer of the Northeast Army saluted.

At 02:15 on December 12, Yang Hucheng Mansion. Several cars drove into Yang Hucheng's mansion, and Shaofan and Shaolong were taken into the small two-story bungalow. I saw that eleven senior officers of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army were waiting for news in the living room, and it was an extremely long winter night.

Yang Hucheng smiled when he saw Shaofan and Shaolong coming: "Huangpu is here!" The virtuous nephew has wronged you. ”

Shaofan said with a smile: "General Yang is really courageous, and the younger generation admires it!" But the younger generation also has a word to say. ”

"Say!" Yang Hucheng Road.

Shaofan said with a smile: "If you think that if you arrest me and my eldest brother, the spy company and the attendant guard will be paralyzed, then it will be too much to exalt our brothers." ”

"Hey!" Shaolong smiled: "Not bad! We're here, but the troops are going to go on as usual. ”

"Shaofan! We are also doing this for the great cause of the country, so you can cooperate! Zhang Xueliang said.

Shaofan replied decisively: "Impossible! I am a soldier, and the duty of a soldier is to follow orders. My unit and I are now under the command of the Protector of the Commission, so I will do whatever it takes to fulfill my responsibilities, or I will break the oath I made with my saber when I first came out of Whampoa. Young Marshal Zhang, I admire you very much, but for the soldiers, the situation at this time is only bayonet to bayonet on both sides. ”

"Good! The tiger father has no dog son, and there is really nothing wrong with it. Zhang Xueliang said with a smile: "You are too similar to your father, the same calm, and the same proud military demeanor." As he spoke, he invited the two brothers to sit down and said, "You are as calm as your father, and you are not as chaotic as those officers in the Xijing Guest House. He burst out laughing.

At 04:50 on December 12, the military command office on Chang'an Street in Xi'an. This is the last place that the Northeast Army has to control, in order to complete the whole process of the incident more smoothly.

Shaokun stomped back and forth in the office, waiting for the code to be deciphered. At this moment, an officer trotted up to him, holding the freshly deciphered cipher.

"Director! The secret lightning broke. ”

Shaokun hurriedly took the secret electricity and looked at it at a very fast speed, and exclaimed: "Not good! Zhang Xueliang wants to rebel, so he quickly takes over the attendant's room. ”

The secret telegram wrote: Wuhao will come to Xi'an on the 13th.

At the same time, a small group of the Northeast Army broke into his office, and the Xi'an Military Command Bureau was completely controlled by the Northeast Army, and it was 05:00 on December 12.

The gunfire in the direction of Lintong pierced the quiet and solemn winter night sky of Xi'an, and the Xi'an Incident that shocked China and foreign countries officially began. But Chiang Kai-shek was not facing the danger of the Northeast Army's menacing capture of Chiang, but the danger posed by a secret army that had infiltrated Lintong a few days earlier.

The sound of gunfire alarmed Chu Huaiyue, the deputy commander of the spy company, and he hurriedly organized the defense and counterattack in Huaqingchi, but a strong firepower armed force of dozens of people had already exchanged fire with the spy company in Huaqingchi, and the fierce battle was quite cruel. The firepower of the two sides was very different, but the mysterious force launched a continuous attack, breaking through the outer defense of Huaqing Pool for a while, which shows the strength of their combat effectiveness.

Gunfire rang out, bullets flew everywhere, gunfire and explosions rang out. The Secret Service Company was in control of all defenses of the creek in front of the Five Chambers at all times. Chu Huaiyue hid behind the sandbag fortifications on the riverbank and scolded: "Damn it! Those guys have enough firepower. ”

"Deputy Company Commander! The enemy is rushing up! A soldier called. Chu Huaiyue looked at it again and saw a group of armed men rushing towards the river bridge under the cover of heavy firepower and the smoke of grenades, Chu Huaiyue lifted the German-style steel helmet on his head with his hand and said, "Damn! The Northeast Army is really not afraid of death. The snipers sealed the bridge for me, and the machine gunners took down their fucking Northeast Army. ”

Five or six Czech ZB26s turned their guns and aimed at the stone bridge, and the team of armed forces was pressed back in tens of seconds, and the snipers hiding in the shadows blocked the stone bridge and hit one by one. For a while, the armed forces on the other side of the river fell silent.

“*！ Don't think that your Northeast Army will fight. Chu Huaiyue looked at it, and suddenly a cold shot almost reimbursed Chu Huaiyue, Chu Huaiyue was also frightened enough to choke and said to himself: "Mom! I almost saw Hades. Thinking about it, he said, "No! The armed forces on the other side of the river bank don't look like the Northeast Army! But they are beaten to death as if we were going to die. Thinking of this, he shouted: "Brothers on the other side, you are the name of that unit of the Northeast Army. The other side did not say a word, that is, when they saw a probe, they put cold guns, and at the same time, the snipers of the special service company also responded with a tooth for a tooth, and they also hid on the high ground and fired cold guns at the other side.

At this time, there was still a fierce battle on the first line of defense on the periphery of Lintong, and the gunfire was becoming more and more intense. Although Chu Huaiyue was born in the green forest, he had also gone to a private school for a few years, and he could be regarded as a person with ink, thought about it and exclaimed: "Qian Dabao! Qian Dabao! ”

"Yes!" Qian Dabao turned around and ran over and said, "What's the matter with Deputy Chu Lian?" ”

"Quick! The chairman of the protection committee will be withdrawn first. The gang on the other side of the river is not good. Chu Huaiyue said.

"Medium!" Qian Dabao took the pistol platoon and ran towards the five halls, but Chiang Kai-shek was already alone and didn't know where to run.

Later, I learned that as soon as Chiang Kai-shek heard the gunshots, he only wore a pair of underwear, and hurriedly fled from the five halls, without even bringing dentures, and turned out of the high wall of the backyard and hid in a broken cave in Huaqing Pond, and was found by the Northeast Army. That is, when he climbed over the wall, he accidentally fell and injured his waist bone, which never healed, which is why he used crutches on any occasion later.

Besides, Chu Huaiyue was at a stalemate for a while, and the enemy on the other side couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed onto the stone bridge with a "woo-la-ah" scream. This time, Chu Huaiyue scolded clearly: "*! It turned out to be a Japanese devil! At the same time, he carried the mp40 and shot wildly, and then said, "Brothers! The one on the other side turned out to be his mother's little devil. Rush me! "When the brothers of the spy company heard that it was a little devil, they didn't care much, and with a loud charge, they hit the opposite side of the riverbank one by one, and when they got close, they all pulled out their waist scimitars and slashed at the sea, and they were so red that they didn't leave a single living mouth, and they didn't even save two of them; The thirty little devils pretending to be the Northeast Army were wiped out.

Bai Fengxiang and Liu Guiwu also thought to themselves: "We are still fighting on the periphery!" Where did the gunshots and bugles come from? ”

The spy company cleaned up the battlefield and found the documents of the Japanese puppet Manchurian special high-tech from the devils who pretended to be the Northeast Army. At this time, Qian Dabao ran back to report that the chairman of the committee was missing and could not be found, and at the same time Bai Fengxiang; Liu Gui's five divisions had already broken through the two defenses of the attendant guards, and they were soon approaching the five halls. Chu Huaiyue had no choice but to order to evacuate. As planned, he entered Shaohua Mountain to join Bai Xiaolong's spy company.

Regarding the Japanese special high-tech armed forces pretending to be the Northeast Army, it turned out to be one of the two task forces sent by the Japanese government in the position of He Yingqin's position as a great treasure, one was wiped out by Bai Xiaolong in the Qinling Mountains, and the other successfully infiltrated Lintong and almost succeeded. After the war, Saburo Inoue, who was the former Japanese puppet Manchurian special high-tech department who planned this matter, said that he did not know that the Nationalist Government would have such a strong combat force at that time, which was unexpected by him. He also said that if there was no special service company of the National Youth League to take charge of Chiang Kai-shek's last line of security, they would have been 100 percent sure that Chiang Kai-shek would be killed. However, this matter has never been declassified in the Nationalist Government, and there is circumstantial evidence that Chiang Kai-shek put the matter to rest, and the people of Ning enveloped Gui; Yunnan; The hearts of the former warlord generals of Feng and other lines also made He Yingqin the main reason for his willingness to serve Chiang Kai-shek in the days after the Xi'an Incident was handled.

The Xi'an Incident is a complex event, and it is a historical necessity in which multiple groups directly and indirectly participated. The Xi'an Incident changed China's ten-year civil war at that time, and the second time to embark on the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party became a new starting point for China's anti-aggression. As for whether the information Shen Shaokun got at the last moment was true, the answer was not until a memorandum released after the collapse of the Soviet Union, which could prove that Zhang Xueliang was indeed inextricably linked with ** at that time, and there were also years of cooperation with the Soviet Union to recover the three northeastern provinces. It is also this telegram that proves that Zhang Xueliang did not want to put Chiang Kai-shek to death, Zhang Xueliang launched the Xi'an Incident on the 12th, and Zhou Enlai (Wuhao was Zhou Enlai's alias at that time) flew to Xi'an on the 13th, which shows that Zhang Xueliang had already come forward to mediate this matter. Zhang Xueliang came forward to use force ** to mediate, which can be regarded as the ladder left by Zhang Shaoshuai for himself, and it is also a brilliant page left for himself in historical achievements.

Shen Shaokun later talked about this incident with great interest, saying that the Xi'an Incident was not only a turning point in China, but also a turning point in his life, if it were not for the Xi'an Incident, his position in the military command would not have plummeted, forcing him to serve as the commander of the 2nd Division of the 10th Corps, and if he had not been the commander of the 2nd Division of the 10th Corps, he would not have left a glorious page of the Battle of Yunnan and Burma during the Anti-Japanese War. Although he later went to Taiwan, the Battle of Yunnan-Burma is his most memorable past.

There are many unsolvable mysteries in the Xi'an Incident, so I will mention them one by one in the following chapters.
