Ishihara slowly put down the binoculars, turned around and glanced at Honjo Shigeru, who had an extremely bad face, Honjo Shigeru was suppressing his anger, how long had the brave Second Division been in Manchuria? Hokkaido's famous Sendai Division was beaten by an enemy far inferior to them and fled into the wilderness, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Honjo Shigeru would never have believed that all this was true.

Itagaki Seishiro, who was standing behind Honjo Shigeru, hurriedly gave Ishihara a look, and Ishihara took a deep breath and said: "Your Excellency, commander, judging from the battle just now, the Seventh Infantry Brigade of the Shina Army that served as the defense itself is the elite of the Northeast Army, and they seem to know the operational characteristics of our Kwantung Army very well?" And equipped with a large number of submachine guns, the effectiveness of submachine guns in white-knuckle combat is far greater than rifles. ”

Although Nishii Shaosa, who was hanging with a staff officer on the side, was very disdainful of Itagaki Seishiro's statement, he couldn't interrupt Shangguan's speech, so he could only stand aside angrily.

Honjo nodded expressionlessly, turned back to the carriage of the armored train, stretched out his hand and spread out the map: "Please call the commander of the Korean Army again, Lin Mijuro, and ask him to immediately send no less than two mixed brigades to immediately cross the border to help our army and occupy important cities along the Liaoning and Jilin Manchurian Railways, and at the same time order the multi-division to speed up to Mukden, I want to know the position and name of the commander of the branch who is responsible for the defense of the Beida battalion." ”

After repelling the attack of the Yue army, Zhang Xuewu and Xu Guohui and Wang Chuang, who were full of gunsmoke, bumped their heads, and Wang Chuang, who was painted on his head, looked very excited, because he had just knocked down at least more than 100 of the Yue army in front of the position he commanded, and he did not feel any fatigue after a night of bloody fighting, the only problem for Zhang Xuewu was that the terrain of the Beida Battalion was not suitable for defensive operations, and the flat terrain of the Beida Battalion was a typical easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the artillery preparation before each attack of the Yue Army could bring huge casualties to the defenders.

Obviously can't hold on, but still hold on? Is it regret or stubbornness in history? I'm afraid that even Zhang Xuewu himself can't say clearly.

Because the army was attacking Beidaying with all its might, the officials who stayed in Shenyang City fled in the direction of Jinzhou with their families and mouths, and Rong Zhen, who stayed in Shenyang City, circled left and right, and ordered the Northeast Frontier Army Commander's Office to start burning documents and retreat in the direction of Jinzhou before dawn.

The retreat of the Northeast Frontier Army Commander's Office made some people who had a wait-and-see attitude also prepare to leave the city, and for a while, the entire city of Shenyang seemed to have suffered a catastrophe, with children crying, horses chirping, and car horns mingling together, and a large number of policemen and officers took off their military uniforms and carried suitcases and marched slowly in the flow of refugees.

Because he controlled the Manchurian Railway, several railway stations in Shenyang City were either occupied by him or paralyzed, and the flow of people could only reluctantly walk to the freight station in the western suburbs of the city to take a train.

Rong Zhen, who was sitting in the black Buick car in the office of the commander of the Northeast Frontier Army, finally glanced at the city of Shenyang from the back window. After all, he is also the chief of staff of the Northeast Frontier Army, the director of the Military Department, and the acting commander! The most unexpected thing for Rong Zhen was that it was Zhang Xuewu, the cousin of the deputy commander, who took the lead in organizing the disobedience? The eldest brother Zhang Xuecheng was kidnapped, and the second brother openly instigated the elite of the first brigade to disobey?

Rong Zhen said in all fairness that Zhang Xuewu is much more powerful than Zhang Xuecheng, this seventh brigade is the guard brigade handed over to the young marshal by Zhang Zuoxiang when the old marshal was still there, Wang Yizhe has worked hard for many years, although it cannot be said to be ironclad, it is also unbreakable, why did the seventh brigade obey Zhang Xuewu overnight? Even at the expense of blocking the office of the commander of the Northeast Frontier Army, hijacking the border bank, the deputy commander's residence, and the arsenal of the three eastern provinces? Where the hell did they get the guts? Just one Zhang Xuewu? I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Rong Zhen slowly closed his eyes, and the originally very simple things became confusing under his analysis at the moment, but he knew better than anyone else that if the non-resistance order was implemented, then once the situation got out of control, the first person who would be condemned by the people of the country for ten thousand years would be Rong someone.

The battle of the Beida Battalion was turned upside down and the blood flowed like a river, and the heavy casualties said that he would not give up? However, Rong Zhen doesn't care about these problems now, the deputy commander can't convince his cousin, what can others do, whether to fight-for-tat with Yue himself to the end, or secretly make peace with Beiping and Nanjing!

Zhang Xueliang, who had not slept all night, did not get in touch directly with Chiang Kai-shek, who had arrived in Nanchang, until about 10 o'clock in the morning of the 19th, and anxiously telegraphed to Chiang Kai-shek about the situation.

Chiang Kai-shek immediately returned to Nanjing urgently, on the one hand to appease Zhang Xueliang to be calm and calm, judge the situation, on the other hand, he decided to personally take command in Nanjing, and sent Gu Weijun to the League of Nations to state at the first time that Chiang Kai-shek believed that the powers with interests in China would not sit idly by and ignore the behavior of Yue Ben's attempt to become the sole ruler, and he strongly advocated that he intended to resolve the Northeast incident through diplomatic channels!

However, the news that a northeastern frontier army did not listen to Shangfeng's orders and fought with Yu himself in the camp north of Shenyang also made Chiang Kai-shek unable to sleep!

"Who the hell is it? So reckless? This is a national matter! On his way back to Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram to the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Office of the Deputy Commander of the Army, Navy and Air Force in Peiping, demanding a thorough investigation into the matter.

Nanjing's outrage caused influential newspapers such as Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Hong Kong to make large-scale reports, such as the Declaration, Ta Kung Pao, and Xiangjiang Newspaper, and for a time, all the public opinion and attention of the whole country were concentrated on Shenyang, and as the mouthpiece of Nanjing's political axe, the Central Newspaper cautiously remained silent, waiting for the final conclusion on the political axe.

At noon on the 19th, fifteen hours had passed since the Manchurian Incident brazenly launched by the Yue army, and unlike in history, not only had the city of Shenyang not all fallen into the hands of the Yue army, but even Andong, Benxi, Gaiping, Anshan, Fengtian, Tianzhuangtai, Changchun, Fushun, Haicheng, Liaoyang, Tieling, Changtu, Gongzhuling, and Kuanchengzi along the Manchurian Railway had not yet fallen into the hands of the Yue army, which was extremely overstretched.

However, everyone knows that behind the small Kwantung Army is the entire war machine of the Yuben Empire, which has been exhausted for many years, the military and government have not yet been unified, the domestic warlords are doing their own thing, and China, which does not even have a unified national defense force, cannot engage in a full-scale war with Yuben.

Soon, the main force of the Second Division of the Kwantung Army and the Manchurian Railway Reading Force garrison, totaling more than 7,900 people, all arrived at the periphery of the Beidaying, which was already the maximum mobile force that the Kwantung Army could mobilize.

Lieutenant General Jiro Tamon, who had a short face but a bearded face, walked into the armored command car of the commander of the Kwantung Army, Shigeru Honjo, and said with a military salute with his legs smacked: "Your Excellency, Commander, in accordance with your order, the main force of our Second Division and the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 6th Brigades of the Mori Lian Zhi Zhi Garrison have all arrived and are being deployed!" ”

Honjo Fan smiled and nodded to Tamonjiro and said, "Tamen-kun has worked hard! Please convey your respect to Mori Ren-kun on my behalf! ”

Immediately, Honjo Shigeru pointed to the map of the North Battalion spread on the table and said: "The defense of the Central [***] is very tenacious, and there are complete and systematic field fortifications, the infantry firepower is stronger than our army, and there is an artillery battalion in the direction of the Tanglin ammunition depot to provide fire support, and now the artillery battalion has been withdrawn to the arsenal of the three eastern provinces." This army is the elite seventh infantry brigade of the Northeast Army, and it is one of them that stubbornly resists our army in the Beida camp, and the commander is named Zhang Xuewu, who is Zhang Xueliang's cousin. ”

Duomen Erlang frowned slightly and said, "Zhang Xuewu? Doesn't seem to be a capable guy, right? Why is this person never mentioned in the Military Intelligence Address of the Mukden secret service? ”
