As soon as this news was announced, it immediately caused a sensation, and newspapers across the country called this exciting anti-Japanese act "the great victory of western Liaoning", and the name of the anti-Japanese hero Yang Jiuxiao was sung by the whole people almost overnight, which greatly encouraged the whole people and set a glorious example for the anti-Japanese cause of the whole nation.

Twenty-four, Toron.

Feng Yuxiang, who was preparing for the headquarters of the National Anti-Japanese Allied Army, held an emergency meeting, at which more than 20 generals, including Fang Zhenwu, Sun Liangcheng, Ji Hongchang, and Tong Linge, gathered together, and Chief of Staff Qiu Shanning briefed the participants on the news of the "great victory in western Liaoning" and the situation of Yang Jiuxiao, commander of the detachment.

The generals were very surprised and puzzled by this, and asked how much of this news was true? Ma Zhanshan, Su Bingwen and other units are the largest anti-Japanese armed forces in the northeast region, so far only these two have achieved the record of annihilating more than 300 Japanese troops, although this Yang Jiuxiao's northeast anti-Japanese detachment has made several admirable actions to attack the Japanese army, which has caused a great impact, but this military operation in western Liaoning is no longer an ordinary small fight, but a well-planned large-scale military operation with thousands of troops, Yang Jiuxiao, who was a small battalion commander of the Northeast Army more than a year ago, How do you have such planning and organization skills?

At Feng Yuxiang's suggestion, Qiu Shanning called Song Xiude, the director of the intelligence department who was standing behind, and as soon as the intelligence director who had been active all the year round, was very familiar with the situation in North China and Northeast China, and knew everything, he made the generals realize something.

Song Xiude, who looked elegant and was not yet twenty-eight years old, calmly reported: "According to the information sent back by our Jinzhou Intelligence Station and the Beiping Liaison Office, the battle that Yang Jiuxiao's team suddenly launched in Chaoyang three days ago is true, and the news we got from within the puppet army is: Two squadrons of the Ikeda Brigade of the Seventh Independent Brigade of the Kwantung Army, as well as a squad of more than 50 people led by Ikeda, a total of 391 people were annihilated, and only one young Japanese second lieutenant escaped due to a high fever. Nearly 600 people in the Chaoyang garrison camp of Zhang Haipeng's puppet army were annihilated, and more than 480 people were annihilated, and the remaining 100 or so people took off their clothes and fled into the homes of ordinary people to take refuge after the gunshots rang out in the city, and they were lucky enough to leave their lives. In the past few days, the newspapers and radio have repeatedly publicized this war is basically true, and there is only one point that has not been mentioned in any newspaper or radio station, that is, Yang Jiuxiao's department still used the unique iron-blooded style of the past year to cut off the heads of more than 100 Japanese soldiers, and all the corpses of Japanese soldiers were stripped naked, not to mention the guns and ammunition left. ”

When the generals heard this, they talked about it a lot, and they all looked at Yang Jiuxiao and his anti-Japanese detachment with admiration.

Ji Hongchang, a fierce general who had just returned to Feng Yuxiang's side, asked loudly: "Dashuai, can you contact this Yang Jiuxiao and let him come to our side?" ”

Feng Yuxiang smiled, waved his hand and said, "I haven't finished listening to the words, what are you anxious about?" Xiudeok, you go on. ”

Song Xiude nodded respectfully, and then said: "According to the intelligence collection of our intelligence department in the past six months, it can be said that we are relatively clear about the various anti-Japanese teams in the entire Northeast, but we lack understanding of this Yang Jiuxiao and his anti-Japanese detachment.

"Two months ago, the subordinates learned because of the attack on the Montenegrin Railway that Yang Jiuxiao's department, which blew up the Japanese special train and took away a large number of cotton clothes and quilts and other military materials, seems to have grown overnight, according to the intelligence we obtained after that incident, Yang Jiuxiao's department has grown to more than 3,000 people, and it is well-equipped and well-trained, through two months of investigation and a large number of intelligence analysis, the subordinates can even conclude that this team is not only equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns, but also has a radio station and a professional staff team, And they must have also established an efficient intelligence network in the entire Liaoning region, otherwise they would not have been able to do this clean thing. What makes people feel very strange is that this team, which originally belonged to the Northeast Army, twice rejected the Northeast Army's request for them to re-establish it, and one of them was even the confidential adjutant of the Northeast Army Zhang Zuoxiang, who went to see Yang Jiuxiao in person, but was still resigned. As a result, we became very suspicious and asked two questions to let the three intelligence stations in Shenyang, Jinzhou, and Beiping figure out: First, where did this excellent and well-trained contingent come from with such sophisticated equipment and abundant funds? Second, what is the real relationship between them and the Northeast Army? ”

The appetite of all the generals was hung up by Song Xiude, who was articulate and calm, and these fierce generals who had experienced a hundred battles and commanded thousands of troops and horses all looked at Song Xiude at this moment, without blinking their eyes, and Feng Yuxiang's face also showed an appreciative smile.

Song Xiude continued: "It wasn't until last night that the information sent back from Beiping Station gave us a clue, more than 400 wounded soldiers from Yang Jiuxiao's department quietly bypassed the north of Lingyuan and entered the Chengde area, and under the response of Tang Yulin's department of the Northeast Army, they were quickly transported to Beiping, and at five o'clock in the morning the next day, they were all sent to the special train waiting at Changping Nankou Station to quickly go south. The brothers at Beiping Station finally found out that the destination of the special train was Baoding. Thinking of the Baoding Military Station of the Central Army, which was established just last month, the Intelligence Department believes that the matter is very important, and it does not dare to make a conclusion lightly at present, so it can only urgently report to the chief of staff and the commander-in-chief. ”

The generals were in an uproar, and Sun Liangcheng exclaimed loudly that Lao Jiang's black hand would not stretch out so long, right? Ji Hongchang asked if the Northeast Army was forced by the Japanese to deny the suspicion of the formation, and still commanded the military operations of Yang Jiuxiao's troops behind the scenes? Only Tong Linge asked what was going on with the Central Military Station in Baoding?

Chief of Staff Qiu Shanning high-fived everyone to be quiet: "Everyone, we still lack understanding of the Central Military Station in Baoding, according to the intelligence analysis sent back in the past week, this military station with a special railway line has been stationed in more than 4,000 Central Army, and the task of guarding the military station is also a reinforced regiment of the Central Army, and so far, the number of the regiment is not clear, the guard of the military station is strict, and the cover of the action is surprising, and there is a more worthy of our attention is that the Central Army is an advanced engineering regiment, Three days ago, he suddenly drove into the Qingyuan in the south of Baoding, and carried out non-stop repairs and leveling of the original abandoned airport day and night. Therefore, the intelligence department is right not to easily draw conclusions about the final ownership of Yang Jiuxiao's ministry, and the focus of today's emergency meeting is this issue, if we do not find out the forces behind Yang Jiuxiao's ministry as soon as possible, it will have a great impact on the National Anti-Japanese League that we are preparing to build, not to mention the political impact for the time being, only the military influence, this point does not need to be said that everyone understands in their hearts. ”

Feng Yuxiang kindly instructed Song Xiude to step down and put forward three questions for the participants to discuss.

After more than three hours of intense analysis and debate, he still couldn't draw a conclusion about the ownership of Yang Jiuxiao's department, Feng Yuxiang was also very cautious when he saw this situation, pondered for a moment, and discussed in a low voice with Qiu Shanning, the chief of staff beside him.

A few minutes later, Feng Yuxiang turned to Sun Liangcheng and said with a smile: "Liangchen, how about you go to Beiping?" The Northeast Army contacted us twice, hoping to jointly negotiate the great cause of resisting Japan, it is good for you to meet the young marshal to contact the relationship, and ah, your little brother An Yi is camped in Tangshan Hot Spring, you haven't seen each other for a few years, right? In our army, you are the only one who has the best relationship with him, and it is just right for you to go. Another one, the 44th Division of Gu Changfeng, a fierce general under An Yi, has been stationed in Tangshan a few days ago, you will go to see this famous army for me, is it worthy of its name? From the comprehensive analysis of the current situation, Nanjing and Beiping have reached a reunification on the anti-Japanese resistance, otherwise several divisions of the Central Army under An Yi would not have driven around Beiping so quickly. ”

"Yes!"

Sun Liangcheng replied loudly without hesitation, his mood was quite complicated, and he was also full of expectations for this trip.

Feng Yuxiang glanced around and stood up: "Everyone, judging from the current situation, anti-Japanese resistance has become a consensus across the country, although Chiang Kai-shek is still commanding his main force to encircle and suppress the ** army, but under the strong anti-Japanese pressure of the whole people, he also has to say something, it is worth noting that he sent his proud protégé, the famous anti-Japanese general An Yi as the former enemy's chief of staff, as well as the independent division, the seventeenth division, the forty-fourth division and other departments under An Yi, Together with the two elite divisions under General Xu Tingyao, who also belonged to the Whampoa lineage, the formation of the 17th Army won him Chiang Kai-shek a lot of praise, silenced us oppositionists, and won the political initiative. It's time for us to make a difference, and lately the newspapers in Shanghai and Nanjing have been attacking and slandering us, and saying that I, Feng Yuxiang, am a conspirator who has no faith in his words and can only talk big, and an out-and-out old warlord, haha! Therefore, I have to express something, conform to the will of the people, comply with your anti-Japanese demands, and use practical actions to give a resounding slap in the face to those pro-Chiang public opinion with ulterior motives. ”

Feng Yuxiang stopped and said loudly: "The 'Great Victory in Western Liaoning', which has won high praise from all over the country in the past few days, is not only a successful partial victory against Japan, but an important military action with deep significance, if my estimate is right, Ma Zhanshan in the north, Su Bingwen in the north, Li Haiqing in Jilin, Feng Zhanhai in Rehe, Tang Juwu in Liaodong, and Feng Yong and **Bayan anti-Japanese columns in the east, etc., will soon launch their own military operations under the inspiration of this victory." Several of them may even launch large-scale and multi-faceted military operations against the Japanese invaders under the unified command of the Northeast Army, which has been secretly supporting them, because we can see very clearly that the full-scale invasion of the Japanese army is imminent, and the Japanese army's accelerated southward and westward troop movements in the past few days are powerful evidence, and the 'great victory in western Liaoning' achieved by Yang Jiuxiao's troops has successfully dragged the footsteps of the Seventh Independent Brigade of the Kwantung Army to the south, at least to delay the Japanese troops attacking the direction of Chengde in the south. From this further inference, I am sure to say that the Nanjing and Peiping sides already have an overall plan, and this plan is still in progress, and their primary purpose at present is probably to unite and mobilize all the anti-Japanese armed forces in the northeast, and do their best to delay the southward and westward advance of the Japanese invaders, so as to gain precious time for all-out preparations for war. ”

The generals echoed Feng Yuxiang's analysis, and it was only at this time that the reaction was a little slower, and the fast reaction had already been associated with the secret northward transfer of the main Shang Zhen Department in Yan Xishan's Jin Sui army.

Feng Yuxiang continued: "Since this is the case, we should temporarily abandon all grievances, put aside individual and collective gains and losses, put the interests of the country and the nation first, and strive to mobilize all forces to launch a large-scale military attack against the Japanese invaders during this time. This is the most important topic of today's meeting, and I hope you will come up with a plan of action before midnight. Everyone, do your best! ”

"Yes—" the generals replied in unison.
