Chapter 696: Smoke Everywhere (2)

At one o'clock in the evening, Beiping Shun Wangfu, the headquarters of the Northeast Army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The young marshal sent away the Japanese envoy who had secretly come to inquire about the news, and approached the side hall on the east side of the middle courtyard with a puzzled face.

General Wang Yizhe asked in a low voice if the Japanese came to threaten us? The young marshal snorted and said that they didn't have the courage yet, and then asked He Zhuguo, the commander of the Shanhaiguan garrison who was sitting at the bottom of the line: "Brother Zhuge, what news do you have over there?" ”

He Zhuguo, whose ancestral home is Rong County, Guangxi, graduated from the sixth phase of Baoding and the eleventh phase of the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, was an instructor of the Northeast Lecture Hall nine years ago, and has been conscientious and loyal for several years, and has won the respect of the Zhang family father and son with his solid military level and low-key and generous style, the Northeast Army was defeated in the later period of the Northern Expedition, Zhang Zuolin was blown up by the Japanese, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi repeatedly invited this Guangxi fellow to return to the Gui Army to fight the world together, and He Zhuguo was unmoved.

At this time, listening to the young marshal ask himself, He Zhuguo stood up and replied in a low voice: "I haven't found any clues yet, judging from the effect of the explosion, it must be TNT military explosives used, and the bomber is very professional, it is likely that a certain brother of our scattered outside the customs did it, but unfortunately, Zhang Haipeng's white-eyed wolf was not killed, and the secret telegram from Shenyang said that Zhang Haipeng left ahead of schedule after speaking for a few minutes at the opening of the meeting, I am afraid that it will not be easy to clean up this traitor in the future." ”

The generals sighed, Zhang Haipeng is Zhang Dashuai's righteous brother, and his status in the Northeast Army is very high, and the young marshal has to call him uncle when he meets, and the generals have to respectfully call his predecessors when they meet, and he is so greedy for profit that he led tens of thousands of old troops of the Northeast Army to surrender to the Japanese invaders, and with the support of the Japanese, he became the commander of the Northeast Frontier Security of the puppet Manchurian government, and in turn suppressed the surging anti-Japanese actions of the brothers of the former Northeast Army.

The young marshal was also very regretful, and he could not help but think of the tragic losses after 918 in his mind: Because of his erroneous judgment, almost half of the 160,000 officers and men of the Northeast Army and more than 50,000 police and security forces who remained in the three eastern provinces were gone, 60,000 officers and men defected to the Japanese and became shameful traitors, and about 100,000 officers and men were scattered under the pursuit of thousands of Japanese criminals, and less than 70,000 returned troops who fled into the Guannai.

What is even worse is that the September 18 Incident has brought profound disasters and huge losses to the people of Northeast China, with countless houses, factories, mines, villages, and crops burned to the ground, all telephone and power transmission lines destroyed, and a large amount of official and private property looted. According to incomplete statistics from the Ministry of Military Affairs, the loss of official property alone amounted to more than 1.8 billion yuan, and the losses of ordnance, ammunition, and other materials were even more serious due to the non-resistance policy adopted by various ministries, and the Japanese army lost countless kinds of clothing, grain, and oil. The 262 fully equipped planes of the Northeast Air Force, which the young marshal had painstakingly managed for 10 years, have now been painted with plaster marks by the Japanese army and used to bomb the armed forces that are fighting against each other and to carry out uninterrupted aerial reconnaissance on the Shanhaiguan and Beiping lines.

Zhang Xueliang was on the side, Li Hansong, who was sitting on the chair and bowing his head to record, glanced at the frustrated generals and marshals, and once again bowed his head and worked in obscurity, because of the shortage of officers, the young marshal has been secretly guarding against the old qualified generals at the senior level in the army, and half a month ago he promoted a group of young generals and colonels again to be reused, and Li Hansong was also in the eyes of the young marshal, leaving the position of the officer training corps to serve as the colonel section chief of the military aircraft department.

At the same time, on the western-style building in the backyard of Huafeng Commercial Bank, which is less than three kilometers away in a straight line, Hou Wuliang and his wife Chen Jing, who is more than three months pregnant, could not sleep.

"Immediately call Wang Yulin and Guan Manjiang, the two brothers, to temporarily cancel the attack on the Japanese overseas Chinese areas in Changchun and Lushun, and wait for the notice when they will begin."

"Yes!"

The shrewd assistant Pan Dinghuai turned around and went downstairs.

Chen Jing stepped forward and took her husband's hand: "Wuliang, the boss didn't order us to cancel the operation, why did you make such a decision?" ”

Hou Wuliang gently hugged his wife's waist that began to gradually round: "Although the boss didn't say it explicitly, I understand his worries, Wang Yulin and Guan Manjiang's two eldest brothers are all old Northeast Army troops who are so anxious that their eyes are bloodshot, and none of them have received special operations training, I am worried that they will not be able to get out if the attack is successful, causing unnecessary heavy casualties, and leaving hidden dangers for the Japanese to seize the handle."

Tomorrow I will let Dinghuai personally go to Lushun, Dinghuai was originally the deputy chief of the intelligence section of the First Cavalry Division, and received three months of special training from more than 20 Chinese and foreign instructors in Nanchang, and his performance was the best, and he was recommended and valued by the instructors. ”

Speaking of Nanchang, Chen Jing's face was full of sorrow: "Wuliang, do you really want me to go to Lao Nanchang to give birth?" ”

"Not only are you going, but the seventh sister-in-law, mother and son, and the two old people are going to go, and my family will also move over, and all the younger generations of my uncle's family will also go, otherwise it will be too late once the situation deteriorates. This time, the boss took advantage of the fighting in Songhu and the explosion of the French Concession and the sharp drop in housing prices, and secretly sent his brothers from the Chamber of Commerce to purchase millions of real estate, and Han Song and I both had a share of this huge investment. The boss has prepared two new western-style buildings with gardens for us on Jiangnan Road in the French Concession, the two courtyards are connected together, and the boss's Yiyuan is only 100 meters away, and you will move into the French Concession when you give birth to the child safely, live with my parents, and wait for the child to be weaned and you will come back to help me. When the child reaches the age of seven, he will be sent to the United States to study, like the children of Uncle Chengzhu and Uncle Chengzhu, to receive the best education, learn the ability and then come back to serve the country, make meritorious contributions, and glorify the ancestors. Hou Wuliang explained in a low voice.

Chen Jing nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said viciously: "I don't allow you to recruit Qin Yuerong to be a secretary, that little girl looks at you wrongly, after returning from Nanchang training, she didn't go home and came to report to you, a fifth brother called me upset, and her appearance was decent, but I could see at a glance that her thoughts on seductive tricks were revealed, as if she had been married for a long time, you bad thing actually laughed so badly, and she was also a girl, and I was angry......

"Stop, you! At this time, you still have cranky thoughts, Yuerong graduated from Union Medical College, has a good higher education, and the family has been scholarly for generations, you don't know, people are sensible and polite and strictly disciplined, it's not what you think at all, it's with her for a month, our radio station is unimpeded, strict organizational discipline and work regulations have been established, who doesn't respect her? You're a man...... It doesn't hurt to tell you, Yuerong is already a Hansong person, you know? Hou Wuliang looked at his wife reproachfully.

Chen Jing was very surprised: "Why didn't I know that she and Han Song were on good terms?" ”

"Han Song has just been transferred to the young marshal not long ago, and there can be no mistakes at this time, what if the young marshal's military intelligence agency secretly investigates in order to prove Han Song's loyalty? After settling down and gaining a firm foothold, they will naturally get married, and at present, Yuerong can only manage our western pharmacy as a medical graduate, I hired her as a steward, it's as simple as that, where did you think of this little brain? Hou Wuliang shook his head helplessly.

"I'm sorry, Wuliang, I'm reluctant to leave you, I want to be separated from you for more than a year, I feel uncomfortable, although you will take the opportunity to buy goods to see me, but you can't stay together after all! I can't bear to ......" Chen Jing snuggled in Hou Wuliang's arms and began to be coquettish.

Hou Wuliang sighed faintly: "The national disaster is at the head!" Where will the country still have a home? What can you do by hiding in a stable place and shrinking your head? Lao Qi, Sizhu, Xu Shui and other dozens of good brothers, in order to fight against the Japanese invaders to protect their families and defend the country, they sacrificed their lives early, how lucky we are in comparison! Yesterday's explosion in Shenyang, Uncle Luan Jin, who is proficient in electricians and gunpowder under the fourth child, put himself in, what a spirit, how heroic? Alas...... You also read the telegram just now, and the eldest first thought of the sacrificed brothers, and asked us to send the families and children of the martyrs in phases and batches in the next period of time, so as to give the sacrificed brothers the greatest compensation and let the future generations receive the best education. I now understand better why even my uncle, the old warlords, are willing to die for the boss......"

Chen Jing hugged her husband tightly: "The general is a great man in this world, just like praised in the newspaper, he is the backbone of the nation and the soul of the army...... Wuliang, I don't regret marrying you more and more......"

Hou Wuliang gave his wife an affectionate kiss, helped his wife into the bedroom inside, returned to the desk and sat down, lit a cigarette, looked at the watch on his wrist, and sighed worriedly: "Brother Jiu, the younger brother will not sleep tonight, pray to the heavens, may you and the brothers complete the task smoothly and leave the battlefield safely......"

At 5:40 a.m., the Shilihe railway bridgehead south of Shenyang.

A group of 15 officers and men wearing the uniforms of the yellow puppet Manchurian border guards, carrying heavy marching bags, marched on the Daozuo Highway, and when they were about 600 meters away from the iron bridge, the team turned to board the railroad and walked straight to a row of smoke-emitting bungalows through the remaining snow.

"Who? Password! ”

Two sentries in front of the bungalow and between the railroad pulled the bolt.

"Which grandson yells so loudly? What about Tong Zhiqiang? Let him hurry up and climb out to see Lao Tzu! The man at the head of the line roared in annoyance, a face under his flipped hat that was a little frightening in the dim streetlight.

The two sentries were already trembling with fright when Dahan was about three meters away from him, and one of the sentries looked around, hurriedly put away his gun, and stepped forward and said anxiously: "Brother Jiu, why are you here?" It's still so loud, there are five Japanese soldiers in the tin room at the bridge! ”

Brother Jiu glanced at the bridgehead a hundred meters away, and said disdainfully: "Afraid of a ball?" Look at your little bit of talent, you weren't like this grandson in the Lao Tzu assault camp back then, it seems that people have taken the wrong path, and you are less courageous, but fortunately, it shows that you have a little conscience. Let's go, take me to your company commander Tong, I want to see what kind of bird my grandson who helped me lead the horse in the past became the company commander of the traitor army. ”

"Sun Fu, what are you still doing in a daze?" Lu Yanqing, the tall man behind Brother Jiu, showed the muzzles of two black holes.

The two sentries immediately complied, Lu Yanqing and another brother stood guard outside with rifles, and Brother Jiu and a group of brothers with machine guns and light machine guns followed behind the two trembling sentinels. As soon as they entered, the brothers quickly occupied a favorable position, and pointed their guns at the two rows of more than 80 puppet soldiers who were sleeping with their heads covered.

The puppet army company commander who was close to the small bed on the heating stove woke up suddenly, sat up and looked at it, and suddenly opened his mouth in fright, the ninth brother had already taken off his hat, revealing a shiny light brain, and a big foot wearing high-waisted riding boots stepped on the edge of the bed, looking at the puppet army company commander with a smile, without saying a word......
