Under the cover of the deep night, a small group of figures are sneakily moving at the fork of the Wicker Lake Road of the South Manchurian Railway, and it seems that a few of them are escorted by their hands tied behind their backs?

These people were Kawamoto Sumoru who led more than a dozen soldiers, asked several local civilians who were caught to change into the military uniforms of the Northeast Army, and unloaded the rifles of the firing pin for them, and then asked people to take pictures, and then stabbed several so-called Northeast Army soldiers in place with bayonets, leaving only one alive.

Momoru Kawamoto, who was proficient in sapper demolitions, placed a row of 42 explosive packs near the roadbed of the railway, carried out a surface blasting, and then threw the bodies of civilians dressed in military uniforms of the Northeast Army around the blasting site, and Momoru Kawamoto immediately fired a red signal flare.

Hearing the sound of explosions and seeing the red signal flare rising into the air, the captain of the Kawashima squadron of the third squadron of the second brigade of the Manchurian Reading Force Garrison of the Yue Army, who had already been ambushed near the Beida camp, pulled out his katana with a hideous face!

Kawashima said to Takahashi Juncao of the mortar squad next to him: "The mortar squad will fire a few training shells at the barracks of the middle [***] team first!" ”

Gaoqiao Jun Cao was stunned when he heard the launch of training shells, this is a combat mission, although he carried more than a dozen mortar training shells that he didn't know what they were used for, but to cover the infantry attack and launch training shells? Takahashi, who was a little confused, dared to ask: "Squadron leader, are you sure it's a training bomb?" ”

Kawashima saw that Takahashi Juncao couldn't comprehend his intentions, and immediately said angrily: "Yaga! You bastard! We're going to test [***] reaction first, understand? ”

More than a dozen training bombs fell into the silent Beida camp one after another, and the middle [***] team in the Beida camp did not react, and Kawashima pulled out his katana: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" Offensive! ”

Under the cover of three eleven-year-old light machine guns, about a squadron of Yue troops began to cross the Manchurian Iron and attack the Northern Battalion!

When an explosion sounded at Wicker Lake, Seishiro Itagaki with a phone in his hand kept talking to the captain of the 29th Wing, Hirata!

After hearing the explosion, Seishiro Itagaki said to Hirata, "Please start moving!" Do your best to capture Mukden City, and after tonight we will be the heroes of the Empire! ”

Hirata took the telephone away from his ear and said out the window, "Please listen to our song of victory!" ”

Seishiro Itagaki sounded in the microphone with the sound of neat steps!

Hanaya, who hurriedly entered the room, nodded to Seishiro Itagaki and said, "In my capacity as the acting director of the secret service, I sent a telegram to the commander of the Kwantung Army in Lushun, saying that the tyrannical Central [***] sabotaged our South Manchurian Railway and attacked our army, and our army launched a counterattack in self-defense. ”

Itagaki Seishiro solemnly saluted Hanayamasa: "Thank you for your hard work, Hanaya-kun!" Now it's up to Ishihara-kun! ”

A staff officer quickly entered the room and said to Seishiro Itagaki: "Your Excellency, Squadron Leader Kawashima has broken through to the North Battalion and asked for heavy artillery support!" ”

At the banquet in Rong Zhen's mansion, it can be described as very lively, Rong Zhen was holding a wine glass and a woman with a good face was talking and laughing in a low voice, suddenly, a deafening explosion shook the mountain, and the red wine glass in Rong Zhen's hand fell to the ground, and then there were explosions and dense gunshots outside the window? The guests at the banquet suddenly became flustered!

Rong Zhen looked at the red liquid that splashed on the white leather shoes, and was stunned......

Just as Kawashima waved the command knife in his hand and shouted to the soldiers to move forward bravely, a soldier who had just approached the courtyard wall of the North Camp suddenly rose into the air with a muffled explosion? Along with several soldiers around him, he was also knocked to the ground, and before Kawashima could react, a series of explosions rose and fell to each other.

There is no whistling of shells? And there is no sound of grenadier barrel ejection? Wouldn't it be a grenade or something? When Kawashima realized that he had strayed into a minefield by mistake when he realized that he had strayed into a minefield with a broken leg rolling and wailing? This area serves as a pre-selected breach, and the secret services and the Reading Force Garrison have repeatedly conducted reconnaissance before this? If there are mines, how can they not be found?

Since the attack formation had not yet dispersed to form a skirmish, each triggered mine could knock out several soldiers.

"Don't move, everybody! Don't move, everybody! Kawashima's shouts seemed so weak in a series of explosions, and the corners of the mouths, eyes, and ears of the soldiers who were blown to the ground by the mines oozed blood, and as they wailed, a large number of bubbles of blood foamed out of their mouths, quickly blocking the trachea of breathing, and after rapid convulsions, they died with a whimper.

When Kawashima Masaki, whose cheek was cut off by a piece of mine fragmentation and wrapped like a mummy, withdrew from the minefield with his troops in great embarrassment, Kawashima was extremely surprised to find that his squadron had been reduced by a third. Dozens of corpses lay in streak near the wall, and about the same number of wounded were left in place, the sound of dying wails that made the companions look sideways.

Zhang Xuewu looked at his watch very calmly, the sound of explosions on the Manchurian side and the explosion of mines in the direction of the north wall had made the officers and soldiers of the 619th Regiment and the 621st Regiment a little flustered, and Zhang Xuewu could now control the 620th Regiment only had two battalions of troops, Li Xinkai's battalion and Zhao Xinyu's battalion one went to the Bank of China to escort cash and gold, and the other went to the airport to guard the airport until all the planes took off.

Zhang Xuewu knew very well that this was just the beginning, and in the face of the decision of the Nanjing Central Political Axe, the Beiping side, and even the Shenyang Northeast Frontier Army Commander's Office, he could only try to turn the tide with no measure of his own strength!

Since the battle has begun, the best result is that he retreats in the face of difficulties, and the worst result is that Zhang Xuewu does not dare to think about it and does not want to think about it.

After the Wicker Lake Incident in history, the army plundered 40 million taels of silver from the Bank of China in Shenyang alone, 262 bombers, fighters, reconnaissance planes, training planes, and civil aircraft of various types purchased by the Northeast authorities from Italy, France, Germany, Britain, the United States, and other countries, and the complete production equipment of the arsenals of the three eastern provinces, as well as 3,019 mortars and artillery pieces of various calibers, 26 combat vehicles, 5,864 machine guns of various types, 118206 rifles and pistols, and a large number of guns and ammunition, clothing, and The grain and so on were innumerable, and all of them fell into the hands of the army.

Zhang Xuewu's plan is to dismantle and transport all these existing resources into the pass, if the army does not get these materials, its military operations in the northeast will not be as smooth as in history, or there will be some unpredictable changes, and all this is the only thing Zhang Xuewu can do now.

Kawashima, who had failed in the attack on Kita Camp, reported to Seishiro Itagaki, who was in command of the Mukden secret service, that he had strayed into a minefield and asked for support from heavy artillery, while Seishiro Itagaki instructed Kawashima to continue to look for a breakthrough and informed the 29th Infantry Wing and the 5th Brigade of the Yoriku Garrison that reinforcements were coming to Mukden.

Soon, two twenty-four-kilometer fortress heavy guns, which had received the order, began to fire in the direction of Beidaying! The sound of a huge explosion shook the ground.

In the middle of the night, Miji Kenkawa was awakened by the sound of a violent explosion? According to the judgment of his professional soldiers, this was the shelling of the fortress defense cannon with a caliber of more than 20 millimeters, and in a panic, he hurriedly found Hanaya Masa, and under the guidance of Hanaya Masa, he saw Itagaki Seishiro, who had said that he was not in Mukden, and Kenkawa Miji realized that he had fallen into the trap of Itagaki Seishiro's plan to delay the army.

Miji Jianchuan, who came to the Mukden secret service, immediately ordered Itagaki Seishiro and others to stop military operations and wait for orders from the Central Military Department and the General Staff Headquarters, but Itagaki Seishiro immediately said wildly: "Manchuria is the lifeline of the Great Empire, Manchuria does not belong to China, and it must have a political axe system that reads power and become a part of the empire. ”

Miji Kenkawa realized that the situation was out of control, so he hurriedly used the secret room of the secret service agency to ask the staff headquarters for instructions!

Seishiro Itagaki smiled playfully at the back of Miji Kengawa!
