Chapter 211: The Incident Begins

On the evening of September 18, there was an undercurrent surging in the city of Shenyang, and all forces were fighting hard, but the young marshal of the Northeast Army was admitted to the Peking Union Hospital because of his addiction to smoking.

I don't know why, since this morning, Zhang Xueliang, who is far away in Beijing, has taken a dose that is far more than twice the usual, but he still can't relieve his drug addiction.

I have been smoking big cigarettes for so many years, and it is the first time that I have the pain of this kind of drug withdrawal, as a young marshal in the Northeast, when has he ever lacked tobacco soil?

But now the situation is really not enough to smoke no matter how much you smoke, and even two fairy injections sent by the Japanese can't relieve your pain.

Mrs. Zhang Xueliang saw Zhang Xueliang in such pain, and immediately took charge of him and sent him to Union Hospital for treatment.

They first placed the three bodies next to the railroad tracks, and then placed a small bundle of explosives under the railroad tracks, which the Japanese squad was about to detonate in a moment.

They are now going to set up the scene, giving people the illusion that these three Northeast military engineers accidentally detonated the explosives when they were planting them, and as a result, they died along with the railroad tracks.

This small group of soldiers also took out a few cameras, and after the explosion for a while, they had to take pictures, which were all evidence of the Northeast Army's attack on their South Manchurian Railway, and in the future, the lawsuit would go to the international court, and they Japanese would also be very justified.

The team leader saw that the watch was already pointing to ten o'clock, and according to the request, they would detonate the explosives in twenty minutes, and checked again, and the explosives were perfectly arranged. The scene is also perfectly camouflaged.

Everything is perfect now, and I hope that this mission and the entire Kwantung Army's operation tonight will be perfect, the squad leader prayed in his heart over and over again.

At around 10:20, the soldiers who were on duty at the east gate of the Beida Camp suddenly heard a loud noise from the east side of the camp.

Several soldiers couldn't help but look at each other, what was this little Japan doing in the middle of the night? Can you get a good night's sleep?

Just an hour ago, one of their squadrons had just passed by the North Camp in a menacing manner, and the soldiers were so frightened that they were still stealing the camp with the Japanese.

hurriedly reported to the battalion commander in charge of guarding today, and they also received a scolding from the battalion commander: "In the past few months, little Japan has been tossing around like this every day, if it is regarded as an attack on the battalion every time, will I, the battalion commander, still be alive?" With that, he yawned and went back to sleep, leaving a few of the guards staring dryly.

Fortunately, there was an explosion in the east. We're not going to look for scolding this time. Then, within a few minutes, several soldiers heard a rustling sound in the distance.

A few guards saw that in the dark night, it seemed that a large group of people and horses were approaching the northern camp in the distance. A few people scolded: "Damn little Japan, it's here to drill again, and it's over?" ”

Before they could finish scolding, they heard a few gunshots, and several guards at the front door were killed by rifles. Then there was a burst of Japanese charging slogans outside the gate, and a squadron of 300 Japanese troops rushed into the Beida Camp and quickly occupied the east gate of the Beida Camp.

Then I saw the squadron leader who took the lead firing three red signal flares into the air, and countless shells immediately fell in the Beida camp.

Boom, all the barracks, ordnance stations, infirmaries, training rooms, storage rooms, etc., the entire Beida Camp garrisoned 8,000 soldiers, and all the buildings began to be named one by one by shells fired from afar.

The continuous sound of artillery immediately woke up the officers and soldiers of the Beida Battalion who were sleeping, and although they were attacked, the officers and soldiers of the Beida Battalion were not panicked, and everyone immediately got up and ran towards the guard rooms of the various barracks.

Although at night all the knives and guns were put into storage, there was still a squad of weapons and equipment in the guard room on the first floor of each barracks.

Everyone immediately opened the guard room and took out the weapons of a squad, and the soldiers who got the weapons began to assemble spontaneously and ran towards the place where the gunfire came.

It turned out that the officers and soldiers stationed in Beidaying were Wang Yizhe's department of the Seventh Independent Brigade of the Northeast Army, and in the past few months, Wang Yizhe found that the Japanese troops near Beidaying were frequently moved, and the number of soldiers around the South Manchurian Railway had also increased significantly.

Even nearby Japanese merchants distributed weapons, and the Japanese ronin caused trouble everywhere, and Wang Yizhe had a feeling that a storm was coming.

Therefore, in the past few months, other units of the Northeast Army have put their swords and guns into storage, and the horses have been put in Nanshan, but the troops of the Beida Battalion still ensure that they go out for drills every day.

Moreover, a few deep trenches were built in the Beida Battalion, and once the enemy assaulted into the Beida Battalion, their 7th Brigade could also use the trenches to fight the enemy to the death.

Therefore, as soon as the cannon sounded, Wang Yizhe immediately ordered the deputy brigade commander to open the armory and distribute weapons, but after a check, the deputy brigade commander in charge of the armory was not in the Beida camp.

Moreover, the most hateful deputy brigade commander also took away the other two sets of keys to the arsenal when he returned to the city, and Wang Yizhe felt even more bad, and he immediately called the Marshal's Mansion in Shenyang City.

It turned out that the telephone line was not working, and no one returned the telegram. There was no way, Wang Yizhe ordered all the soldiers with weapons to enter the trench to defend.

He immediately took a few adjutants and slipped out of the side gate of the camp into the city to report the situation, and when he left, he told a regiment commander beside him that he heard the gunfire coming from the Japanese now, and only a few hundred people attacked the North Camp.

The Japanese also did not know what kind of conspiracy they were playing, and told the soldiers to hide as much as possible and not to be hit by shells. He will go into the city now and ask for his life.

As long as he gets the order to counterattack, he will launch three green signal flares into the air in the direction of Shenyang City south of Beidaying, and as long as he sees the signal flares, he will order the soldiers to smash open the armory and kill the little Japan that comes to attack with all his might.

Because the 300 Japanese troops attacking Beidaying were only responsible for guarding the gate and gaining time for the follow-up offensive troops.

The officers and soldiers in the Beida battalion did not have too many weapons, although there were also hundreds of people with weapons, but in this dark night, everyone did not dare to fight back at will, just hid in the trenches and waited for the next order.

At this time, although the Japanese artillery fire falling from the sky was fierce, because it was in the dark of night, the hit rate of the Japanese artillery fire was not high. And the enemy did not use heavy artillery, it was all mortars and some other small artillery.

Therefore, after a short period of panic, the officers and soldiers of the Beida Battalion slowly came to their senses and began to hide in various remote corners of the Beida Battalion, waiting for the next order.

When Wang Yizhe was about to run desperately towards Shenyang City, the 29th Wing of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army was ordered to arrive at Beidaying before 10:30.

But today's 29th Wing is destined to be impossible to arrive on time. Because they had just left the barracks when they were attacked by unknown artillery fire.

Although the 29th Wing quickly counterattacked, the enemy who attacked in the shadows was very accurate even in the dark.

It took great effort for the 29th Wing to drive away the enemy who had come to harass. Then the 29th Wing began to advance at turtle speed towards the northern camp.

Originally, it was only five kilometers from the station of the 29th Wing to the station of the Beidaying, and it only took more than ten minutes to run with all the armed forces, but now more than half an hour has passed. They have not yet reached the North Daying.

Because for just a few kilometers away, they were subjected to all kinds of strange attacks, not bombs that suddenly exploded on the side of the road. It was the original flat road that was planted with a few mines. Or maybe they didn't take a few steps and they got a few black guns.

Just when the 29th Wing was struggling to march towards Beidaying at the speed of a snail, Wang Yizhe had already rushed to Shenyang and found Rong Zhen, chief of staff of the Northeast Frontier Commander's Office.

But Rong Zhen didn't dare to give an order to fight back, so the two immediately rushed to the Marshal's Mansion to contact Zhang Xueliang, who was far away in Beijing, and finally contacted Zhang Xueliang after several twists and turns, but Zhang Xueliang's latest order came on the phone: "Don't fight back, wait until I go back." After saying that, he hung up the phone.

The two looked at each other for a moment, what kind of order is this? Even if you don't fight back, you have to give a charter, right? Can't let us stand and be shot, right? So the two connected Zhang Xueliang's phone again, but no one answered no matter what, and in desperation, Wang Yizhe automatically asked for orders to go out of the city and go to Beijing to meet Zhang Xueliang to report, and Shenyang was fully presided over by Rong Zhen.

After saying that, Wang Yizhe took the soldiers out of the marshal's mansion and was about to go out of the city overnight, but at this time, Wang Yizhe got the news that the land route from Shenyang City to Beijing was all blocked, and all important passes were guarded by the Japanese.

was so angry that Wang Yizhe scolded, whose world is this? Wang Yizhe had no choice but to contact the generals of all parties in the city and inform them of the situation outside Shenyang, so that everyone could prepare for battle.

At this time, Rong Zhen was already in chaos. He also knew a lot about the ambitions of the Japanese, at this time, the Japanese attacked all parts of Shenyang and bombarded Beidaying, and blocked the various bayonets of Shenyang's escape, this is the rhythm of the Northeast Army in Shenyang?

The Northeast Army in Shenyang has only more than 20,000 people, including 8,000 in the Beida Battalion, more than 2,000 in the Public Security Corps, and more than 2,000 in the Air Force and Navy Military Police Headquarters.

The remaining 8,000 people stationed in Jinxian County, the gateway to Shenyang, were Zhang Tingshu's headquarters of the 12th Independent Brigade. Now Beidaying has been shelled, and the Japanese army in Shenyang has more than 5,000 regular troops and more than 10,000 armed expatriates.

In addition, the Japanese soldiers were well fed and prepared for battle, and the 8,000 men and horses of the Beida Battalion must be unstoppable, so it was better to immediately order the whole army to retreat to Jinxian County and join forces with the 12th Independent Brigade, so that they could attack, retreat, defend, and preserve their strength, and then wait further for the order of the young marshal.

Rong Zhen, who was determined, immediately sent a telegram to Beidaying, telling Beidaying that in order not to expand the situation, he could temporarily lead the soldiers to withdraw to Jinxian and try to counterattack in the coming day.

Rong Zhen's original intention was to let the Seventh Brigade evacuate with weapons and baggage, but the regiment commander who stayed in Beidaying understood the order to retreat immediately and go to Jinxian to stand by.

Therefore, he hurriedly braved the artillery fire to convey the order of the Young Marshal's Mansion to all the officers of the Beida Battalion. And as soon as this order came out, although it caused a big uproar among the soldiers, they scolded the erroneous order of the Young Marshal's Mansion.

However, many of the officers of the 7th Brigade had already thought of escaping, so they gave the order and immediately led their own troops to flee first with a resolute obedience to the order.

And the escape of these people as leaders immediately had a chain reaction, and many soldiers did not understand why they ran? I only heard the soldiers who were packing up their things shouting: "There is an order from above, no resistance, all retreat to Jinxian, and now if you don't run, you will stay and wait for death?" ”

So more soldiers joined the deserters before they even had time to pack their belongings. And so an incredible rout began.
