With the city gate of Xi'an City closed in broad daylight, the main streets of the city can be seen everywhere with loaded guns and ammunition. Many ordinary people know that something big is happening in the city. The occasional gunshots were enough to confirm this suspicion.

But for several left-behind veterans who were appointed by Zhang Xueliang before he left Xi'an, they looked at the interrogation materials submitted by He Zhengdao. Even if the generals who have the heart to fall to the Central Army, it is really difficult to speak for the Central Army at this moment.

The reason is very simple, the acting chief of staff who was shot dead in the previous attack died at the hands of the soldiers who rebelled in the Central Army. And the reason for the killing of this acting chief of staff was that he had many secret contacts with Zhou Enlai of the Red Army Representative Office.

But only these veterans know that the chief of staff is in contact with Zhou Enlai, and he is more just negotiating some material exchange and aid. In fact, the general who had close contacts with the Red Army was really not this chief of staff.

The commander Huo in the back was done by the soldiers who rebelled against the little devils. The purpose is also very simple, that is, to maximize the impact of the Northeast Army's chaos. It can even point the spearhead at either side of the Central Army and the Red Army that are fighting in Xi'an.

Even if some people doubted the authenticity of these interrogation materials, He Zhengdao never explained anything, and directly ordered someone to pull the interrogators to the command headquarters. It was handed over to the Northeast Army for personal interrogation to confirm the authenticity of the information.

This kind of practice made the generals who suspected that He Zhengdao intended to fabricate these things also feel a little embarrassed. After all, they all already knew that before the incident, the commander of the Red Army column, secretly sent troops to protect them.

Seeing that these people no longer had any doubts, He Zhengdao also said in a timely manner: "Please also ask the generals, you can take care of your three main divisions as soon as possible." If it is possible to defect to the Central Army, give me a specific way to deal with it.

My people. The intelligence liaison officer of the Central Army, who is responsible for resolving the rebellion, and the three division commanders who were instigated. The remaining candidates to succeed the three division commanders remained. It is also necessary for you to make a decision as soon as possible. Because, I'm afraid this matter won't last long.

Although they have taken control of the radio station of the Central Army Representative Office, they have not been able to transmit any information for the time being. But I can be sure that the Central Army is in Xi'an City, and there is a secret radio station. The news of a change in the city has already spread.

Without knowing the progress of the situation, it should be unlikely that the Central Army will respond in a timely manner. But you must not hesitate any longer, but you must come up with your decision. No more action. The Northeast Army will undoubtedly be in chaos. ”

With a simple but direct remark, these veterans of the Northeast Army who rushed to the meeting quickly made a decision to maintain the status quo and resolutely prevent the Central Army from entering Shaanxi. even sent a report to the defenders of Tongguan as soon as possible, ordering them to strengthen the defense of Tongguan.

In addition, the candidates for the commanders of the three divisions were also sent by He Zhengdao to the special combat personnel who set off ahead of schedule by radio. And what the special operators have to do is to find these replacements. They are requested to cooperate in stabilizing the situation in the three divisions.

After a radio wave came out, He Zhengdao continued: "Generals, the young officers who participated in the incident this time have been arrested by various divisions and my subordinates. Right now. All of them are concentrated in the large school field, and the generals are also invited to move to the training.

Although among these people, there are unkind speculators and traitors. But more. is still enthusiastic and wants to rescue the military backbone of Young Marshal Zhang. They can say. It is also the future of your Northeast Army.

I hope that the generals will give them a chance to mend their ways. Meantime. It is also necessary to let them understand that even if they can't save Zhang Shaomarshal for the time being, the Northeast Army must not mess with itself.

Once you are in chaos yourself, the day when your Northeast Army will fall apart is not far away. Without the signboard of the Northeast Army, your situation will be even more difficult than it is now. As long as you are united, Lao Jiang will not dare to ignore your existence. ”

Wang Yizhe, who was the most senior among the people, also nodded at the right time and said: "Everyone, we were able to escape this time, and we have to thank Commander He for his careful deployment." Now, it's our turn to teach those impulsive bunnies. ”

By the time all the veterans gathered in the heavily guarded campus, the representatives of the Central Army and Zhou Enlai, the representative of the Red Army, who had been detained by Xu Youchang, were already waiting on the side of the campus. But the two never spoke much.

These were suppressed and arrested by the guards of the headquarters, as well as the young people who were arrested by the Ho Zhengdao Reconnaissance Brigade. Seeing the appearance of Wang Yizhe and others, they calmed down, and seemed to realize that they were a little too impulsive.

Even if they kill these veterans, will they be able to control the military power of the Northeast Army? This idea seems too naïve. After all, young officers like them abound in the Northeast Army!

The representative of the Central Army, who had been putting on his face, looked at He Zhengdao, who accompanied the veteran of the Northeast Army, and sneered: "Director Zhou, it seems that your army is really hidden!" Even your red generals have been sent, so it's a good plan! ”

Regarding the other party's cynicism, Zhou Enlai smiled and said, "Director Zheng, I said it before. We didn't want to incorporate the Northeast Army, we just didn't want to see the civil war break out again, let alone see the tragedy of cannibalism in the Northeast Army.

Since we have signed an agreement on peaceful reunification and resistance to Japanese aggression earlier, we also hope that you will be able to implement it. If you hadn't broken the rules in advance, our party would not have sent Comrade He Zhengdao to Xi'an to deal with this matter in person. ”

In Zhou Enlai's view, this time the headquarters sent He Zhengdao to deal with this matter, and he undoubtedly really chose the right person. Even Zhou Enlai considered whether to let He Zhengdao serve as the executor of intelligence.

This kind of counterintelligence capability really surprised Zhou Enlai. But what surprised me the most was the reconnaissance brigade in He Zhengdao's hands, as well as the saber special combat team that seemed ordinary, but in fact had extraordinary skills.

I heard He Zhengdao say before that the materials required to train a saber special combat team member are enough to feed a main company. He also felt that this kind of military training was somewhat too extravagant. After all, the Red Army at the moment was not well-off.

But when he came out this time, he saw the all-round ability of the saber special combat team, and Zhou Enlai even thought about it. In the future, the personnel of the intelligence operations group dispatched to various localities will be sent to the independent column for training for three to five months.

As long as they can reach the combat level of those scouts in the reconnaissance brigade, I believe that these people will be more handy when they carry out intelligence tasks in the future. This kind of discovery made Zhou Enlai even more important to this young red general!

As an executive member of the Northeast Army, Wang Yizhe was afraid that he was angry, but he also said hello to the two representatives. In the end, the young officers of the Northeast Army who were escorted here spoke in a very sad and stern tone.

Looking at the future of these Northeast Army, Wang Yizhe said with a little hatred: "You are all the military backbones of my Northeast Army, carefully cultivated. But what you did today makes me feel very disappointed.

I believe that even if the young marshal knew about this, he would be moved, disappointed and saddened by your behavior today. Because you have forgotten what kind of uniform you are wearing, and you have forgotten that you are soldiers from there.

Maybe some of you already know it, and some of you don't. Just earlier, Chief of Staff Xu was shot dead, and Division Commander Huo was also shot dead. Even if I and General He and them also walked around the ghost gate.

If we all die, do you think we can save the young marshal? With your enthusiasm, can you really realize your ambitions and demands? If you do this, you will only make your relatives hurt, and your enemies will be happy, understand? ”

As soon as these words came out, many of the young officers of the Northeast Army who had been disarmed below looked very regretful and annoyed. Even soon an officer boldly said: "Sir, we don't want to kill anyone, we just want to save the young marshal." ”

'How can I save it?' Who did the young marshal go to Nanjing for, don't you understand? If he wasn't for us, didn't he give us the opportunity to go to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and one day recover the Northeast, would he do all this?

I know that you all think that the Nanjing government is not moral, and detains our young marshal for no reason. But what did the young marshal say when he left? He told us to put aside our grievances and disputes, and to take the joint anti-Japanese struggle as the primary responsibility.

Others say that we are lost dogs, lost the three eastern provinces, and have no shame to see the three provinces again. But have you ever thought about it? If I and a few veterans die today, what will happen to you? What will happen to our Northeast Army? ’

Such serious words and questions made these young officers, who were not actually stupid, also did not know how to refute. At this time, the veteran of the Northeast Army, who was also a member of the executive committee, began to question the representatives of the Central Army.

Holding up a few documents in front of the other party's eyes, he said, "Director Zheng, should you give us an explanation for this matter?" ”

After taking the information and reading it, Director Zheng was shocked but said: "What is there to say about something out of nothing." Ladies and gentlemen, you must not forget that you are a member of the National Revolutionary Army.

As the supreme commander, Chairman Chiang has the right to order you to do anything. And you, from top to small, have disobeyed the orders of the chairman. If you continue to persevere, I am afraid that you will not have a good result. ”

Such words made the veteran of the Northeast Army furious: "So, are you determined to destroy our Northeast Army?" Do you think that the guys in the hands of our Northeast Army can only be used as decorations? ”

At this moment, Zhou Enlai interjected at the right time: "Director Zheng, if you really want to break the agreement signed at the beginning, although we don't want to fight, we have to fight. Some people will not repent if they don't hit the south wall! ”

A faint sentence, but it proclaimed the attitude of the Red Army. This situation is undoubtedly the last thing the Central Army deputies want to see. If the Northeast Army really fell to the Red Army, there would be nothing to do with the Central Army in the whole of Shaanxi.

It's just that thinking of the rebellion, Director Zheng also feels that there may be a remedy for this matter. As long as those three divisions send out a telegram, I believe that it will also be an invisible warning and reminder to other generals of the Northeast Army.

At least Director Zheng thinks that it is good to go with the Central Army to have food, clothing and salary. With these bitter Red Army, what can the Northeast Army get? In the final analysis, the Red Army at this moment is not even as good as the Northeast Army! (To be continued.) )
