Chapter 12: The Night of September 18 (5)

There is an old saying in China that the plan can never catch up with the rapid change, just when Zhang Xuewu was preparing to lead the troops to retreat, Xu Guohui sent someone to send the news that the arsenals and the stocks of weapons and ammunition in the three eastern provinces were huge, and they could not be moved and demolished according to the original plan, and the explosives were not fully prepared!

Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath, although he had done everything possible to collect all the wagons and locomotives that could be used, more than 3,000 artillery pieces of various calibers, nearly 6,000 machine guns of various types, more than 110,000 rifles and a large number of ammunition uniforms, as well as a large amount of equipment in the arsenals of the three eastern provinces, even with the help of the workers of the arsenals, it was definitely not possible to complete the demolition and relocation in one or two days.

The only good news now is that Zhao Xinyu's battalion has defeated a small-scale tentative attack by the Yue army, and has all the planes of the East Tower fly to Jinzhou or Beiping, and Zhao Xinyu's troops who rushed to the arsenal of the three eastern provinces can also help somewhat.

What to do? What to do? Zhang Xuewu realized the seriousness of the problem, and in history, the army did not encounter organized large-scale resistance on the night of the incident, so the incident began with the counterattack artillery of the Beida Battalion, and it was completely out of the historical trajectory.

As a traverser, Zhang Xuewu's biggest advantage is that he is familiar with the trend of history and can formulate a response plan that is closest to the trend of history in advance, but now Zhang Xuewu has to admit that he has lost this advantage.

If his own counterattack makes him change to standing still, then his damage to the arsenal of the three eastern provinces, the Bank of China, and the Frontier Bank will far exceed the damage caused by the army, and I am afraid that in the end it will be himself who is unlucky! Zhang Xuewu, who was hesitant and hesitant in his heart, thought about it before and after, and could only treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor!

Zhang Xuewu had also considered investing all the strength of the Seventh Infantry Brigade to carry out a tactical counterattack against the Yue Army, defeating the 29th Infantry Wing and the 2nd Reading Garrison Brigade stationed in Shenyang, and the premise of this was that Zhang Xuewu himself must be able to control the 7th Infantry Brigade, but this was obviously impossible.

In addition, the Fifth Reading Force Garrison Brigade stationed in Tieling has also arrived in Shenyang City, and although the army does not have many troops, it can quickly gather relatively superior forces to make key attacks by taking advantage of the convenient conditions along the railway.

As far as command is concerned, whether it is a direct order from Zhang Xueliang, Rong Zhen, or Wang Yizhe, Zhang Xuewu's previous achievements will be wasted, if Wang Tiehan rushes back in time, whether he can be concentric with Xu Guohui, Zhao Xinyu and other five people seems to be a problem, the army is a small society with a class system, and the more elite the troops, the higher the obedience to military orders, and it is very unfortunate that the Seventh Infantry Brigade is the elite of the Northeast Frontier Army.

Zhang Xuewu, who was sticking to the camp in the northern part, was in a dilemma, his arm was fixed to his chest with a triangular scarf, and Hirata Broken Mountain was in a daze with his family heirloom katana, could it be that Itagaki-kun's information was wrong? The Medium [***] had no intention of not resisting at all, and the garrisons and precise shelling of its rams, as well as the minefields of the Western Wall, were already fully telling.

The fierce resistance of the elite 7th Brigade of the Northeast Army caused heavy casualties to the 29th Infantry Wing under his command, and Hirata Duanshan even suspected that he had fallen into the trap of Zhong [***], otherwise how could there be a garrison army digging field fortifications on the ground of his own camp?

As one of the standing divisions, the 2nd Sendai Division was not a full-fledged wartime division, and its two subordinate brigades were both non-wartime establishments with a shortage of 40 percent, which meant that the 29th Infantry Wing under the command of Hirata Wasan did not have sufficient strength for him to use.

The 29th Infantry Wing under his command suffered more than 300 casualties in the shelling just now, and the total number of combatants was less than 1,500.

With the previous lesson, Hirata Broken Mountain organized several so-called "attacks" in a row, but it was to occupy several guard posts abandoned by the Northeast Army on the periphery of the North Daying Camp, and the previous fanaticism was gradually replaced by reason Hirata Broken Mountain knew very well that if he insisted on attacking the North Daying Camp, then I am afraid that it would not take until the reinforcements of Lushun arrived tomorrow morning, and his 29th Wing would have the possibility of being counter-surrounded or even defeated and annihilated, so Hirata Broken Mountain was very helpless and was forced to put up a defensive formation.

The battle in Beidaying entered a strange state of stalemate, and the defeated attack of Hirata Broken Mountain did not dare to attack easily, and Zhang Xuewu did not dare to retreat easily for fear that the Yue army would follow the attack.

The army concentrated all the troops that could be mobilized near Shenyang to attack Beidaying, so the Fengtian secret service and the gendarmerie team, which only had a small number of personnel stationed in Shenyang City, could only be busy sabotaging and spreading rumors, hoping to create chaos in Fengtian City!

Li Xinkai led the troops to escort a large number of cash silver trucks from the east gate directly out of Shenyang to join the convoy to the border industry bank to escort the gold, glanced at the city of Shenyang behind him, Li Xinkai looked a little gloomy, or worried about his own worrying fate, blew up the Bank of China and the border bank, and forcibly opened the six vaults of the Shuaifu, which was enough to die dozens of times.

Thinking of this, Li Xinkai suddenly turned his heart sideways, since he followed Zhang Xuewu to do it, he couldn't take care of it so much, he could only die once a person, he didn't bite if he had more lice, and he didn't worry if he had more debts!

Zhang Xuewu, who was sticking to the camp in Beida, unexpectedly received a call from Zhang Xueliang from Beiping? It turned out that Zhang Xueliang, who watched Mei Lanfang's "Cosmic Edge" at the Beiping Theater that night, received a report that the Shenyang army was provoking and fighting with the Seventh Brigade to hold the Beidaying camp, and when he returned to the Union Hospital, he found that the phone number of the Northeast Frontier Army Commander's Office in Shenyang was no longer available?

Soon, the deputy commander's office in Changchun, Jilin Province, reported that the army's Manchurian railway reading force garrison and the headquarters of the second division had taken action, and Zhang Xueliang, who was very worried about the situation in Shenyang, ordered the adjutant to call the relevant senior officers in Shenyang one by one, from the office to the home, but nothing was found, and finally miraculously connected a phone from the 7th Infantry Brigade stationed in Beidaying!

"Who are you? Which one? Zhang Xuewu knew that the other end of the phone was Zhang Xueliang, the young marshal of the Northeast Army, and after taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuewu said loudly: "Deputy commander!" I'm your cousin Chengwen! ”

When Zhang Xueliang heard that it was his younger brother, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "What is Chief of Staff Rong Zhen doing?" Wang Yizhena? What's he doing? Why not carry out the 17th milling electricity of the Nanjing Central Committee? Now you go and gather the restraint forces, stop the resistance, do not expand the dispute, wait for the instructions of the central authorities, and report to the League of Nations for a political settlement. ”

Zhang Xuewu said quietly: "How can I command so many troops with the chief of staff of a regiment? Now the cannon was rumbling outside, and the gunfire was raining down. ”

Zhang Xueliang was already a little crazy and said: "Send someone to my Shuaifu, there is the key to the vault under the second tile under the desk in my study, go to the vault to get my big seal, and those who do not obey this order can be disposed of on the spot regardless of rank and rank." ”

Zhang Xuewu also let out a sigh when he heard that the Great Seal was located, so he asked in a deep voice: "Deputy commander, I said that I have called, why don't we resist?" This time, I can be sure that I am a long-planned big operation, and it is definitely not a small fight. ”

When Zhang Xueliang heard that his cousin Zhang Xuewu, who had always been well-behaved and obedient, actually called himself deputy commander? Instead of the cousin who was talking about it, when he thought of Zhang Xuewu's eldest brother Zhang Xuecheng's consistent behavior, he suddenly became angry from the bottom of his heart, and he yelled almost hysterically: "Don't you think that my military law doesn't kill my own family? You are still my good brother and a good officer of my Northeast Army. ”

Zhang Xuewu paused, he remembered that Zhang Xueliang, who was in his nineties, was interviewed by NHK TV in later generations, and Zhang Xueliang frankly admitted that he had underestimated his strategic intentions and ambitions, coupled with the domestic environment at that time and the surrounding political situation, so he issued the order not to resist.

Zhang Xuewu solemnly put the phone to his ear and said aloud: "I don't want you to make a wrong decision that will annoy you for the rest of your life, big brother!" ”

Zhang Xueliang was still a lot calmer, so he said frankly: "This is the need of politics, the military should obey politics, and the region should obey the country. It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. ”

Zhang Xuewu replied loudly: "I am a soldier, deputy commander, you are a politician, foreign invaders invaded my homeland, as a soldier, I should sacrifice my life for righteousness and sacrifice my life for the country, my order can not be carried out, and the blood-stained yellow sand horse leather shroud must be worthy of 30 million Northeast compatriots." ”

Zhang Xuewu hung up the phone with a snap, Zhang Xueliang on the other end of the phone stood in a daze, he couldn't even notice that the phone slipped out of his hand, he just had successfully detoxified and looked very clean, Tie Qing's face and sweat made Yu Fengzhi and Miss Zhao Si who were standing on the side very worried.

Wang Libin, the adjutant on the side, picked up the phone and listened, and shook the handle of the machine, but there was still a busy sound in the earphones, Wang Libin hung up the phone stupidly, and shook his head slightly helplessly to Zhang Xueliang.

Zhang Xueliang hesitated for a moment and immediately picked up the phone again and called Zhang Zuoxiang, who was sitting in Jinzhou, but without saying a word, Zhang Zuoxiang shouted to Zhang Xueliang on the phone: "My deputy commander!" Are you really calm? Xiao Yueben called, his hometown Fengtian is boiling, our troops are ready, immediately go to Dahu Mountain, copy the back road of Xiao Yueben! ”

Zhang Xueliang frowned when he heard this, how could he be a diehard Zhang Xuewu again? But who is Zhang Zuoxiang? In private, Zhang Xueliang himself had to politely call the lord of the "auxiliary commander", so Zhang Xueliang could only be patiently reassured by the kind words of the surname: "The current situation is still unclear, and it is impossible to know the true intentions and motives of the book, do not act recklessly to expand the incident, I will report to the Nanjing National Politics Axe, your department can send no more than one battalion of vigilant troops to the direction of Dahu Mountain, and the Shenyang incident should fully cooperate with the central side, and there will be sacrifices inevitable, remember that the country is great, and personal honor and disgrace are light!" Just with the more than 20,000 guns in Xiaoyueben, can you occupy the northeast? ”

Zhang Zuoxiang muttered after a long time: "Listen to you, anyway, this business and this team are all left to you by the old handsome." ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Zuoxiang's order, Zhang Xueliang felt like he was in prostration...
