Chapter 155: Rescue
On June 27, 28, just three days ago, Zhang Zuoxiang had just rejected the proposal of the Federation of Councils of the Three Eastern Provinces to jointly elect himself as the commander-in-chief of the security of the three northeastern provinces.
Zhang Zuoxiang not only resolutely resigned from the post of commander-in-chief, but also issued a telegram proposing that Zhang Xueliang succeed him as commander-in-chief.
As soon as the news came out, the three eastern provinces were in an uproar, and everyone did not understand why Zhang Zuoxiang, who was most qualified to be promoted to this post, did not accept this position.
On the contrary, he also recommended Zhang Xueliang, a big smoker, to be the commander-in-chief. At that time, Zhang Zuoxiang didn't want to be the commander-in-chief, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't. It is because Zhang Zuolin was so kind to him during his lifetime, and also because the Northeast Army is now worried about internal and external troubles, and it really can't afford internal strife.
No, today Zhang Zuoxiang left the mansion early in the morning, got into his car, and continued to visit the old brothers of the Northeast Army, and he wanted to persuade them to support Zhang Xueliang in power, because only in this way can the Northeast Army continue to survive and the Northeast be stable.
Because it was still early, there were not many pedestrians on the street at this time, and it was not long after Zhang Dashuai was assassinated, so Fengtian City was still loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Military police are often cross-checked, so there are fewer people who come out early in the morning to hang out.
Zhang Zuoxiang's convoy was speeding down the wide streets of Fengtian City, and just after turning another street corner, several strong men rushed out of the alley, holding machine guns in their hands, and fired at Zhang Zuoxiang's convoy.
Zhang Zuoxiang usually goes out to protect the troops of a squad, all of whom are his own children, and they are also veterans of a hundred battles, and they are proficient in all kinds of pistol skills. And today Zhang Zuoxiang did not sit in the car in front, but temporarily changed his mind and sat in the car in the middle.
When people rushed out of the alley, several soldiers in the head car had already realized that something was wrong, and immediately took out their box guns and pointed them out of the window, and both sides fired almost simultaneously.
The driver reacts faster, immediately slows down and jumps out of the car. So the four soldiers in the first car and the four gunmen in front of the car hit each other almost simultaneously, and both sides insisted on finishing the last bullet before falling to the ground and dying.
At the same time, behind the third car, four gunners also rushed out, and they worked in groups of two, one throwing grenades, and one strafing with machine guns.
Because the view inside the rear car was not good, although the soldiers in the third car jumped out of the car one after another. But in the end, he still did not escape the assassination, only the driver stayed in the car and picked up a life.
And the driver was also very brave, and at the moment when the four gunmen finished firing, he immediately poked his head out of the car, and two box guns with twenty rounds of 20 shots were fired at the two gunners at the left and right ends respectively, killing the four gunmen at once.
After that, the driver retreated to the middle of the vehicle and started the alert. At this time, Zhang Zuoxiang climbed out of the car with his head bowed under the protection of three other soldiers. Then join the driver who also escaped in the lead.
The six of them hurriedly abandoned the car and entered another alley, preparing to leave this dangerous area through the alley. Who knew that a few people had just entered the alley not far away, only to hear the driver of the car in front of them shouting to lie down, and then heard a burst of machine gun sound from the front.
Zhang Zuoxiang's driver and two soldiers were shot and killed on the spot, and Zhang Zuoxiang's arm was also scratched by a stray bullet.
The two drivers who were alive immediately pulled Zhang Zuoxiang into the doorway by the alley to hide.
Before a few people could figure out who was ambushing Zhang Zuoxiang, they heard another gunshot behind them, and it seemed that this was a deliberately set up trap by the enemy. The enemy has already calculated it. Once the first wave of attacks did not kill Zhang Zuoxiang, then they still have a follow-up plan to implement.
Zhang Zuoxiang was sure that the same arrangement must have been lurked in several nearby alleys. "Who's going to kill me?" Zhang Zuoxiang quickly analyzed, and took out a delicate small pistol from his arms.
After all, Zhang Zuoxiang has been fighting all his life, and he is still in chaos in this desperate situation, only to see Zhang Zuoxiang look at the two drivers with firm eyes: "The one who killed me is not Han Qing, it is the Japanese, you two immediately break through." If I die, I must pass on my last words to my old brothers, so that they must support Han Qing. ”
However, the two drivers who received the order said that they would not break through the siege, and the three of them crowded into the doorway and returned fire, and the fierce exchange of fire just now would definitely attract the military police in the city, as long as they held on for a while, they could wait for reinforcements.
However, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, several people felt that the ** of the Ten was going to be explained here, although the approaching enemy also suffered heavy casualties.
But the enemy seems determined to kill a few people. Even if he is hit by three people from time to time. The enemy is also increasingly attacking several people. As soon as the enemy comes close, throw a few grenades and they will be sure to give an explanation.
With a machine gun and so many gunners in ambush, it's impossible to have no melee weapons and grenades. At this most critical moment, the two drivers suddenly heard another loud burst of gunfire outside.
The two glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and shouted, "Killing one is enough, killing two earns one." The two blocked Zhang Zuoxiang behind them, and pointed their guns at the door, just waiting for the enemy to show up.
After waiting for a long time, the gunfire stopped, and the enemy did not come. Instead, I heard a southern dialect: "Don't shoot, it's Commander Zhang Zuoxiang inside, and we are the Zhantang disciples of the Axe Gang."
We have been responsible for secretly protecting the adults, and seeing that someone is going to assassinate Commander Zhang today, we have killed them all, I don't believe you can send someone out to take a look. ”
Zhang Zuoxiang nodded to the two drivers, and a lazy donkey rolled in front of the car and rushed out of the doorway, and when he stood up and saw the situation in front of him, there were several corpses lying on the ground, and there were three strangely dressed men standing at the end of the alley.
When he turned around again, there were several men in the same clothes standing behind him, and when they saw the driver coming out, they put away their guns, indicating that they had no malicious intent, and slowly walked towards Zhang Zuoxiang.
Several people came to Zhang Zuoxiang's side, and a leader-like person introduced himself: "Commander Zhang, my name is Hei San, and I am a disciple of the Axe Gang Battle Hall. A few days ago we heard the news that the Japanese were going to deal with you, and my aunt ordered us to protect you secretly, but it's not good that you're okay, otherwise I'll be punished. ”
"You say that the people who assassinated me were really Japanese? How do you know? Also, who is your aunt? Zhang Zuoxiang asked warily.
Hei San pulled off a gunman's pants in front of Zhang Zuoxiang, revealing the pocket pants inside: "My young master said that little Japan will change everything, but this pocket pants don't like to change, so you can see it at a glance." After finishing speaking, several Zhantang disciples around him burst out laughing.
Zhang Zuoxiang nodded, he has been in the Northeast for many years, and he has been in contact with the Japanese for decades, so he naturally knows that the Japanese have this habit: "You haven't said who your uncle is?" ”
"My aunt is Li Tie of Huaxing Foreign Company."
"Oh, it was him, where is he now? And how you came to our rescue in a hurry. ”
"Since the day Zhang Dashuai was assassinated, the disciples of our War Hall have come to Mukden one after another. My aunt gave us a list, all of which are senior generals of your Northeast Army.
Uncle said that the safety of these people may be threatened these days, so let's protect them secretly in batches, and my group of six people is just responsible for protecting you. As for my uncle, he should be near the Young Marshal's Mansion now, and he is responsible for protecting Young Marshal Zhang. ”
While Hei San and Zhang Zuoxiang were talking, Zhang Xueliang, who had just returned to the city from the garrison outside Fengtian City, was also attacked, but it was not the gunners who attacked them, but the gunners.
On a large road outside the city, two mines were planted by unknown people, and they were crushed by the first car full of soldiers, and the soldiers in the first car were either killed or wounded.
Then, Zhang Xueliang, who was in the two trucks and two sedans behind, immediately jumped out of the car and hid on both sides of the road to hide. The enemy did not lay two mines, and there was no follow-up. They also ambushed a dozen gunners.
More than a dozen gunners opened fire on the open area of Zhang Xueliang on a small hillside one kilometer away, and for a while, hundreds of soldiers and Zhang Xueliang were suppressed and did not dare to raise their heads, and everyone could only wait until the artillery was over before attacking.
Zhang Xueliang's soldiers are also experienced soldiers, and they know that gathering in such an open field to be shelled will sooner or later make people have to be killed. So the soldiers immediately dispersed, and quite a few more were crawling towards the small hill a kilometer away.
However, the enemy's mortar was well fired, and although the hundreds of soldiers had dispersed, they could not withstand the enemy's uninterrupted artillery fire.
Seeing his elite guards fall under the enemy's artillery fire one by one, Zhang Xueliang's eyes turned red. Who is going to kill him, is it Zhang Zuoxiang, Tang Yulin? Or Zhang Haipeng, Yang Yuting? Or is it someone else?
Before Zhang Xueliang could think clearly, he heard a dull and short gunshot, and after more than a dozen gunshots, Zhang Xueliang found that the shell on his head didn't seem to be falling anymore.
Zhang Xueliang and the soldiers around him slowly raised their heads, only to see a group of people coming not far away, these people were all strong, with short guns pinned to their waists, and an extra-long unknown spear on their backs.
This group of people and horses, with strange costumes, and a lot of straw on their colorful clothes, looked like a group of callers. But the leader was a young man in a suit, a top hat, and a pair of sunglasses.
When these people approached, Zhang Xueliang finally saw the person in front of him clearly, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers around him to put down their guns. I saw this fair-skinned young man come to Zhang Xueliang, and first patted the dust on Zhang Xueliang's chest. Then he smiled: "Thank me, right?" If I hadn't come to save you this time, you'd be a piece of. ”
