"Extra, extra! The Central Army won a great victory in Ji'an, killing the Red Bandit Commander Huang Gongluo! ”

"Outside, the northern part of Liaobei flooded, more than 100,000 people were displaced, and there was no food and clothing!"

"Outside the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River flooded again, more than 3 million people were affected, and more than 2,000 people died in the flood......."

"Rock sugar gourd..."

The streets of Mukden are full of newsboys, as well as hawkers carrying loads of goods.

"Sir, let's get a newspaper." In a small roadside noodle shop, the newsboy approached a middle-aged man with a goatee, and on the table was a black cloth bag, apparently containing something.

Jiang Li took out the copper plate and handed it to the newsboy, chewing the noodles and cursoryly scanning the contents of the newspaper. It was very shameful for Chiang Zhongzheng's practice of fighting outside the country and first securing the interior, and when the Japanese were so strong, they still only thought about eliminating dissidents and mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress the Red Army, but they sat back and watched the Japanese army occupy the three eastern provinces, and not a single soldier went north.

Rong Zhen has a habit of not liking a car, but likes to ride a horse, but now the weather is cold and warm, and it is indeed more comfortable to ride a horse, but this is also convenient for Jiang Li.

After smashing the remaining mouthful of noodles into his mouth, and after settling the bill, Jiang Li carried the package into the dense forest west of Shengjing Street, which was almost five hundred meters away from Shengjing Street, and it was completely too late to escape after shooting.

Quickly unwrap the package and assemble the 38 large covers. Jiang Yu climbed to a tree, condescending, with a wide field of vision. Wait for Rong Zhen to go to Rongxiang Theater from this road. According to the collection of Rong Zhen's situation in the past few days, Jiang Li found that Rong Yan had a habit, after coming out of the staff mansion every day, he did not go back to his house directly, but went to watch a play for about an hour, if this sniper point did not have a chance, he would have to change his position after a while, and go to a small western-style building built by the Americans 300 meters away from the theater, which happened to be able to see the front of the theater, and it was also an excellent sniper location.

Gotta gotta ...

The sound of horses' hooves sounded crisply, and the six or seven cavalry cavalry in the distance galloped all the way, seeing Rong Yan who was in the lead, Jiang Li smiled slightly, it seemed that there was no need to go to the second sniper site.

German goods are very reliable, Zeiss scopes clearly capture Rong Zhen's head, maybe Rong Zhen made some contributions in the Anti-Japanese War, but the incompetent performance in the 918 Incident is criticized, after the incident, when the people of the League of Nations interviewed Rong Zhen, Rong Zhen still has the habit of smoking big cigarettes, those smoking utensils are scattered on the table, and the people of the League of Nations said at the time that it is completely unrealistic to expect such a general to resist the Japanese army. Afterwards, Rong Zhen was stimulated and put away all the utensils, which also played some role in the Anti-Japanese War. But in the 918 Incident, Rong Zhen played the role of Zhang Xueliang's mouthpiece, and even later, Rong Zhen became a member of the Military Committee in the Japanese puppet regime.

In order not to let Rong Yu play the same role as in history, he had to be sacrificed. Jiang Li squinted his eyes and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The bullet crossed a distance of several hundred meters and hit the opponent's temple with unerring accuracy. There was suddenly a bloody hole on the complete head, and Rong Yan's not tall body fell off the horse.

Jiang Li immediately slid down the tree pole to the ground, dismantled and rewrapped the gun, and screams sounded in the distance, but it had nothing to do with him.

"There are assassins!"

"Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff!" Several officers on horseback dismounted, others drew their pistols and stood guard, but as far as the eye could see, there were only scattered houses, trees in the distance, and the occasional passing road, where could any suspicious targets be seen.

"How's the Chief of Staff?" Tibetan Shiyi is a literati, hurriedly dismounted, saw the blood hole on Rong Zhen's temple, red and white brains flowed out of the hole, and suddenly there was no speech, this kind of injury immortal can not be saved.

"It must be the Japanese picking quarrels and provoking trouble, go back to the staff quickly, Fengtian is afraid that there has been a big change, I want to contact the young marshal immediately."

Like Huang Xiansheng, Tibetan Yi was one of the first people to realize that the Japanese army intended to swallow the entire Northeast. Huang Xiansheng went south to Beiping to meet Zhang Xueliang in person, and there was also Tibetan Yi's persuasion. Tibetan Shiyi repeatedly asked Zhang Xueliang to return to Beiping to sit in the town, but at this time, Zhang Shaoshuai, who was recovering from drugs and was in the gentle township, was afraid of the Japanese like a tiger, where was the kung fu to go north.

The other officers, either frightened or indignant, mounted their horses and galloped in the direction in which they had traveled with the corpse of Tibetan Shiyi.

The news of the assassination of the chief of staff of the Northeast Army quickly spread, causing a panic in the market. The police throughout Mukden City began martial law, and the Japanese army soon felt the tension that spread dramatically.

…………….

"Ahem......" Zhang Xueliang coughed sharply in the car, his body was hollowed out by the wine, and his smoking addiction occurred repeatedly, making his recovery much slower than normal.

Zhao Yidi hurriedly patted Zhang Xueliang's back, and it took a long time for Zhang Xueliang to recover his breath.

"Thanks to you taking care of me this time, I really don't know if I can get through." Zhang Xueliang gasped weakly, this time he was sick, and his body was very thin due to frequent cigarette addiction. The illness also dragged on for a long time and did not get better.

"It's not a terminal illness, what can't be endured, say something unlucky." Zhao Yidi frowned and said a word to Zhang Xueliang.

The car stopped in front of a heavily guarded courtyard in Shijiazhuang.

"Commander Zhang, the chairman is already waiting in the courtyard." Chen Cheng had already waited outside the door when he received the call from the airport, and when he saw that Zhang Xueliang was still weak and tired at this time, he asked a few words with concern.

"It's okay, the military situation is urgent, and I have to discuss it with the chairman." Zhang Xueliang waved his hand and asked Zhao Yidi to help him in.

"Han Qing, it's coming very quickly, sit down, the state affairs are getting hard, you have to pay attention to your body." Inside, Chairman Jiang got up enthusiastically and beckoned Zhang Xueliang to sit down.

"Chairman of the committee, just now I got off the plane and received a telegram from the Mukden side that Rong Zhen, chief of staff of our army stationed in Mukden, had been assassinated and died, and that the assassination of Rong Zhen was the Japanese army's active Type 38 rifle cartridge." A few days ago, Huang Xiansheng deliberately took a bus from Mukden to Beiping to explain to Zhang Xueliang the evidence and information collected during this time, and suggested that Zhang Xueliang strengthen the defense of Northeast China. The Japanese are likely to have an incident recently, and Zhang Xueliang didn't think much about it and associated it with the Japanese. After all, at this time, the entire Northeast Army, including the police force, was not equipped with Type 38 rifles.

"Well, I also received a telegram before you got off the plane. This time I want to talk to you about the Tohoku. Chairman Jiang said.

"I would like to ask the chairman for instructions."

"The Republic of China is still very weak, the war has been interrupted for a long time, and its national strength is less than one-tenth of Japan's, so it is not suitable to start a full-scale conflict with the Japanese army. Adopt an attitude of resignation and resignation, and wait for the judgment of international justice. ”

"What the chairman said is very true, the Japanese army is strong, and if there is a war at this time, I am afraid that there will be defeat and no victory." Zhang Xueliang nodded thoughtfully, the fiasco of the Middle East Road made Zhang Xueliang still have lingering palpitations at this time, and he did not dare to clash with the foreign powers again, Chairman Chiang's statement at this time was exactly what he wanted, and the Northeast and Nanjing looked like they were separated, and it was impossible for the Central Army to move north in a big way at this time, once the battle with the Japanese army began, it was his Northeast Army that was in front of the Japanese army, and winning and losing the Northeast Army was the end of great vitality.

"Accepting the attitude of resignation and fairness to the League of Nations is tantamount to digging one's own grave. Will the Japanese side stop because the central authorities are sitting idly by? After receiving Zhang Xueliang's reply, Tibetan Shiyi was so angry that he stomped his feet.

After returning to Beiping from Shijiazhuang, Li Jichuan was already anxiously waiting at Zhang Xueliang's residence, and the military situation was like fire, and now everyone at the top level in Fengtian could feel the grimness of the situation in the northeast.

"Young Marshal, you have finally returned, the minister stationed in Japan has sent a secret telegram, the Japanese government has recently decided on the final policy towards Manchu and Mongolia, and has ordered the railway garrisons stationed along the South Manchurian Road to take sharp matters. The situation in Mukden was already very serious, and the auxiliary marshal sent a lowly post to ask the young marshal to return to preside over the overall situation. ”

As soon as he went to Shijiazhuang to meet with Chairman Jiang, Zhang Xueliang's spirit was already very weak, and he waved his hand weakly and said, "I have already met with Chairman Jiang, and we have already discussed the issue of Yanbei. ”

Li Jichen wanted to persuade a few more words, but Zhang Xueliang looked tired and gave the order to evict the guests, saying that the central government's decision could not be changed, and his tone was blunt. Li Jichen sighed heavily and returned the same way.
