Chapter 8: Scarlet 918 (1)
On September 17, Wang Yizhe left the camp at the invitation of the Flood Relief Association. At this time, Zhao Zhenfan also heard some news, and the atmosphere in Beidaying became unprecedentedly tense.
In order to prevent the Japanese army from rioting, Zhao Zhenfan also made a series of arrangements for the Beida camp. Although it was stipulated that we could not provoke us, it was also decided that once the Japanese army entered 7 or 800 meters of the Beidaying city wall, it could open artillery bombardment. All officers and men were not allowed to return home, and the fortifications in the Beida camp were repaired and reconnaissance was strengthened. In order to prevent the Japanese from pretending to be officers of the Northeast Army to carry out a sneak attack, all officers changed their names, changed the color of the symbols, and put them in their trouser pockets.
Zhao Zhenfan's vigilance was very prescient, but unfortunately, the attitude of Chairman Jiang and Zhang Xueliang determined that 918 ended in tragedy.
"Firearms are in storage, check carefully!" Due to the tense atmosphere, the management of guns and ammunition in the Beida Battalion has also become much stricter.
Inside the camp, Xu Sheng saw Jiang Li fiddling with a map under the lamp, and couldn't help but come forward and ask, "Yingzuo, what are you looking at?" ”
"Look at the deployment of Fengtian City, and the Japanese army is stationed in various places in Fengtian." Jiang Li had a gloomy face, and did what he wanted, but he didn't expect that after killing Rong Zhen, Zhang Xueliang appointed Zhang Haipeng of Taonan to take over Rong Zhen's position, Zhang Haipeng is also a traitor in history, the Japanese army surrendered directly before shouting, faster than Rong Zhen surrendered, it really doesn't make a mistake in stealing chickens, it seems that history is not so easy to change, just kill Rong Zhen, the process of things is strikingly similar to the original, and personal efforts seem so small in the general trend of history. As for who Li Jichuan, who was transferred to the deputy director of the Adjutant Division, Jiang Li didn't care, but now the Staff Office of the Northeast Army is in the hands of an even more hateful person.
"There are only a few Japanese troops in the general office, and they really want to fight with their hearts, and it is not a big deal to defeat the Kwantung Army." Xu Sheng shrugged his shoulders and said.
Jiang Li didn't hear it, as a Northeast officer in this era, he was clear about the distribution of the Japanese army in the Northeast, but Jiang Li was a traverser, and many situations needed to be made up for in the past few days.
At this time, Fengtian City and its surroundings were dominated by 12,000 people of the 7th Brigade, and there were almost more than 9,500 people in the Beida Battalion, and there was another battalion stationed in the Dongda Battalion, and nearly two battalions of troops were stationed in Huanggutun, and more than 2,000 trainees from the Northeast Lecture and Martial Arts Hall were also in the Dongda Battalion, but there was only one teaching brigade of more than 650 people with combat experience. There are more than 500 Air Force guard troops. A guard company at the Mukden Arsenal had less than 200 people. There were more than 2,000 policemen in the Huang Xiansheng belt of the Fengtian Police Station, and there were originally more than 4,000 people in the headquarters of the Dashuaifu Guard. At this time, there was only one guard battalion of more than 550 people left in the Marshal's Mansion. Zhang Haipeng brought about a battalion of more than 500 troops to Fengtian City. When it comes to these forces, they are still far above the Japanese army in Mukden, but under the constraints of the General Staff, there are probably not many who can really play a role in resistance.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was the night of September 18th, and the moon was like water.
The sound of the train clattering on the tracks gradually stopped, and a group of heavily armed Japanese soldiers in the countryside poured off the train, and at this time, in front of the square of the Fengtian South Railway Station, there were already hundreds of soldiers of the Second Independent Garrison Brigade waiting for them, and more than a dozen Type 38 field guns stood quietly in front of the military formation, and the muzzles of the guns were inclined to the sky, like a hideous giant beast roaring at one.
The soldiers of the 29th Wing are also gearing up at this time, and they will launch a fatal blow to the enemy army in Mukden when they only wait for an order from Shangfeng.
"Success or failure is here, even if you sacrifice your life, long live the empire, long live the emperor!" Ishihara's right arm is raised.
"Long live the Empire, long live the Emperor!"
"Long live the Empire, long live the Emperor!" The faces of all the Japanese soldiers were almost crazy fanatical, and the militaristic forces in the Japanese army, mainly these young Zhuang factions, rapidly expanded into all areas.
Near Wicker Lake, on the railway 800 meters away from Beidaying, the figure swayed.
"Quick, put the explosives away." Daisaku Kawamoto arranged for the soldiers to fill up the explosives, and the time was pressing, and this evening Jianchuan Miji had already arrived at the hotel in Dalian, where he was entertaining Jianchuan Miji, although Jianchuan Miji had not mentioned the order to terminate the Wicker Lake Incident for the time being, he was obviously delaying time, and he could use a long journey on the first day to temporarily rest for a day. But the next day, if the order of the base camp was issued, although militarism began to prevail in the Japanese army, it had not yet reached the point of overpower, and once the order of the base camp was issued, it was irresistible. Only by using the established fact of occupying Mukden let the base camp continue on their preset track.
More than 40 bags were buried on both sides of the tracks, not only to create a large enough momentum, but not to cause too much damage to the railway, after all, they also have to use the railway to transport troops, which is a technical job. Fortunately, Daisaku Kawamoto was born as an engineer and specialized in explosives.
"Boom!" The explosion rose into the sky, and all the soldiers and officers who were still guarding the Beida Battalion could see the deafening sound of the fire rising into the sky in the Dawai Battalion.
"Quick, quick, bring the body over." A few sleepers and a section of railroad track were blown into the air and then fell heavily, filling the spot with smoke.
More than a dozen soldiers carried several corpses and threw them on the side of the railroad tracks, at this time Japan had not yet withdrawn from the League of Nations, they needed to create a false image of the Northeast Army blowing up the railway as an excuse, so that this well-planned war could have a superficial plausible statement, these corpses were several beggars caught in Fengtian City two days ago, and after being killed, they put on a set of Northeast Army uniforms.
"The horn of the charge has sounded, long live the Emperor!"
"Long live the Emperor!" At this time, the Japanese army was like a chicken. The Japanese army had two troops in Mukden, one was the second independent garrison brigade, about 480 people. One is the 29th Infantry Wing, which is part of the 2nd Division of the Kwantung Army, with a strength of nearly 2,000 people.
With the sound of the explosion as a signal, the 29th Infantry Wing rushed out of the garrison and directly attacked the provincial capital of Fengtian, and the 480 people of the 2nd Independent Garrison Brigade immediately opened up to attack the Beida Battalion.
At the same time, Mukden, as well as soldiers in the countryside, were also quickly assembling in Mukden City to support the desperate actions of this small number of Japanese troops. The Japanese artillery who had been in the camp of the garrison of the 2nd Brigade had already opened fire one after another, and the artillery at the South Railway Station also advanced one after another and drove towards the North Battalion.
Outside the camp was a rising fire.
Jiang Li sat up from the bed, with the strength of the Japanese army in Mukden, if you want to win, there is only a surprise attack, not during the day, Jiang Li has slept all day during the day, and has been in good spirits at night, at this time the energy is the most sufficient, the dormitory is chaotic at this time, everyone's nerves have been in a high degree of tension in the past few days, and everyone woke up when they encountered stimulation.
Jiang Li took out his pocket watch and saw that it was just past 10 o'clock in the evening.
