A slightly cool autumn breeze swept by, and the evening in Shenyang City was much cooler than the noon when the autumn tiger was shining.

On the evening of 16 September, taking advantage of Honjo's inspection of the 29th Infantry Wing stationed in Mukden, Seishiro Itagaki, Ishihara Wanji, Hanaya Masa, Imada, Ono, Kawashima, Kojima, and Nakura met secretly in the conference room on the second floor of the Mukden secret service office, and for the last time they had a heated discussion on whether or not to resolutely carry out the set plan ahead of schedule.

Hanaya was looking around at the people participating in the meeting in the room, there was no doubt that Itagaki Seishiro Osa and Ishihara Waner Nakasa had the highest military rank and the most important status, and the "staff officer" on the shoulders of Itagaki and Ishihara that represented the identity of military staff officers made Hanagaki Masashi a little jealous and couldn't even stabilize his mind.

Hua Gu Zheng knows very well that the staff officers of these staff headquarters are the elite of Lu University, if nothing else, he will be a ten-year Dazuo, and the general is basically a certainty, and if he can't be promoted to Dazuo before the age of forty-five, then what awaits him is to be transferred to the reserve.

In the past few years in the Fengtian secret service, Qian Huagu has been doing a lot, but the road to promotion is becoming more and more slim, and the opportunity in front of him seems to have made him desperate, after all, there are Itagaki and Ishihara, even if something goes wrong, with the traditional style of the staff headquarters, it will be saved.

Hanaya glanced at Imada, Ono, Kawashima, Kojima, Nakura and others who were more eager than him, and in his heart, I was afraid that these guys would be small characters who would be sacrificed, right?

In the end, because of four telegrams from Hashimoto Shingoro Osa, who were still a little confused, Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Wan'er, who were still a little confused, decided to launch the incident in advance on September 18, 1931, the same day that the Mantetsu garrison finally assembled.

Because before this, Itagaki Seishiro had already obtained the full support of Major General Moriren of the Yoriku Garrison, and Itagaki Seishiro stayed in Mukden to continue to deal with matters related to the "Nakamura Incident", while Ishihara Wanji accompanied Commander Shigeru Honjo back to Lushun overnight.

The abnormal behavior of the 620th Regiment made the cavalry battalion and the 619th and 621st regiments see a joke, and Geng Shengyun, the chief of staff of the 619th Regiment, who is on duty in the big battalion, just smiled slightly and said: "The young master can do whatever he wants!" Can we handle it? The nature dug by the 620 regiment was filled back by their 620 regiment. ”

Early the next morning, Zhang Xuewu organized his troops to continue to expand their positions by continuing yesterday's field bunkers, connecting the individual soldier shooting bunkers into fortification lines with communication trenches, with fire support points, and digging heavy machine gun frog bunkers with 60 mortars.

Many people admire Geng Shengyun, the chief of staff of the 619 regiment who is on duty in the big battalion, can still sit firmly in Diaoyutai, and Geng Shengyun is really a little helpless about Zhang Xuewu's whims, he is afraid that if he goes to the other party, he will not give face, and he will not come to the stage with a big red face, plus tomorrow on the 18th, Zhang Xuewu will be the brigade rotation officer, so the surname Suo went out of the camp to the secret door of Sandaokou to find his old friend.

In the early morning of September 18, 1931, Zhang Xuewu gathered Li Xinkai, Wang Chuang, Zhao Xinyu, Xu Guohui, Zhang Tianpeng and others, and Zhang Xuewu, who was carrying two Mauser pistols, carried a commonly known flower mechanism, which was a real German-made P18 submachine gun, not an imitation of the Fengtian Arsenal based on the reverse deduction of the gun body.

Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath and said: "I have already obtained the customs defense of the brigade headquarters, and at 17 o'clock in the afternoon, the Dongshan ammunition depot will be opened, and the officers above the battalion commander of the 619 regiment and the 620 regiment will be notified to come to the meeting, if anyone questions the non-cooperation with the action, I will take the opportunity to take them all, and the whole brigade will distribute the ammunition, and enter the fortifications after 19 o'clock to standby!" Li Xinkai's battalion and the Frontier Army's locomotive regiment must arrive at the Bank of China before 21 o'clock, remember to bring more explosives, transfer all the cash and deposits in the bank to the Guannai, and use a company as an escort force! The rest of the troops went to the Tanglin ammunition depot to reinforce the fortification. ”

"Yes!" Li Xin opened a straight upright.

Zhang Xuewu glanced at the map and said to Zhao Xinyu: "Your battalion will arrive at the East Tower after 19 o'clock, gather all the pilots, no matter what means you take, even if it is coercion, let them all take off forcibly, go to Jinzhou or Beiping, and then rush to the arsenal of the three eastern provinces, and wait for reinforcements." ”

"Yes!" Zhao Xinyu also snapped upright.

Zhang Xuewu compared it on the map and said to Wang Chuang: "You send me two platoons of plainclothes squads to infiltrate the rear of the army, once there is a battle in the direction of the North Daying, immediately and decisively blast the South Manchurian Railway, delay the reinforcements of the army, the main force of your battalion will work together at 22 o'clock tonight, cut off all military and civilian telephone lines in Fengtian City, we don't need little devils to use it, and then give me control of the Northeast Frontier Army Commander's Office, be careful not to wipe the gun and fire and hurt people, someone asked is the order of the chief of staff of Rong Zhen, I'll figure out a way for the deputy commander's letter seal. ”

Zhang Xuewu interrupted Wang Chuang, who was about to salute, and said solemnly: "You must act decisively, otherwise it will be difficult to clean up the chaos of the army!" ”

Zhang Xuewu finally said to Xu Guohui and Zhang Tianpeng: "You guard the Beida camp, and after dawn, you will move to the arsenals of the three eastern provinces, and the troops of the 619th and 621st regiments will let them load the wagons, and the stocks and equipment that the arsenal can take away will be transported to Jinzhou, and all the ones that can't be taken away will be blown up." ”

Zhang Tianpeng gasped and said, "Oh my God! How many wagons and locomotives do you need? ”

Zhang Xuewu hesitated for a moment and said: "I'll take a company to Fengtian Station in a while, and turn all the wagons and locomotive heads, try your best!" ”

After assigning the task, Zhang Xuewu wiped the sweat from his forehead, his qualifications were too shallow, and he knew very well that his small actions would not last long, whether it was Zhang Xueliang or Rong Zhen and Zhang Zuoxiang, once anyone's order came down, the 619 regiment and 621 regiment that were coerced by him would suddenly collapse, and even the 620 regiment at his hand was still unknown! If Wang Tiehan returns, will these battalion commanders and the company platoon commanders below still obey him?

Only then did Zhang Xuewu understand why the soldiers were willing to gang up to form factions during the warlord melee period in history, and even during the war of resistance of the Republic of China, because everyone needs the so-called reliable people to help at the critical moment, otherwise your brother is lonely, and no one will come to the aid of the lonely city, and in the end he can only end up in the city and die.

Under many concerns, Zhang Xuewu could only choose the only thing he could at present to transfer the materials in Fengtian City as much as possible, in case these materials were used by the enemy as in history.

After Zhang Xuewu rushed to Fengtian Station, he didn't find the stationmaster who was busy with work? According to its secretary, the stationmaster will not go to work until the afternoon, and the secretary of the stationmaster of Fengtian Station, who is angry, is the master of many people at the moment? For a few wagons, jewelry, cigarettes, Citi tickets, Oriental women, what did this guy confiscate? A small lieutenant colonel, he naturally won't take it seriously.

The stationmaster's secretary's attitude of ignoring changed after Zhang Xuewu stuffed the muzzle of the P18 submachine gun into his mouth, and the secretary, who had lost two front teeth, confessed to the kiln where the stationmaster was.

Soon, Stationmaster Feng, who was wearing only underwear and covering his head, was brought back, and when he saw the secretary with a blue nose and swollen face, Stationmaster Feng was a delicate master, so he immediately expressed his full cooperation, Zhang Xuewu didn't talk nonsense, and directly revealed his identity!

"My cousin is Deputy Commander Zhang Xueliang Zhang, and now my brother has important military affairs, you have to cooperate fully, otherwise you will be careful of the seven and a half catties you eat when you go on a business trip! And don't forget where we found you! Zhang Xuewu's opening remarks dispelled the idea of stationmaster Feng preparing to give Rong Zhen a call after sending away these plague gods, he knew that his plan for today's meal was in vain, if things got bigger, just going to the kiln during the day was enough to drink a pot by himself.
