Chapter 136: Head on Blow

He said that his offensive exceeded the psychological level that the officers and men of the northeast of the Beida Battalion could bear.

The first round of shelling landed in the camp of the Beida Camp with great accuracy, and the Kwantung Army, which had already obtained the approximate strength and firepower distribution of the camp by buying through the Han Annihilation, divided the first round of shelling into two parts.

The Kwantung Army concentrated a considerable number of artillery pieces and arranged them in the vicinity of the Wicker Lake Station, and the first round of shelling was aimed at the artillery positions and the dormitory area of the officers and soldiers of the Beida Battalion. Heavy shells pierced the night sky with a scream, and landed exactly all over the camp, and explosions were heard everywhere, often with a single shell falling, the barracks collapsed, the fortifications were destroyed, and there were stumps and building debris flying all over the sky.

The officers and soldiers of the Northeast who were awakened by the violent sound of gunfire found that the entire chaotic Beida Battalion could not find a senior commander who could be responsible for coming out, and the grassroots troops were fighting separately, and the instinct of the soldiers told them that they should take up arms at this time.

The entire Northeast Army is indeed vigilant, and in addition to the necessary night duty troops, the soldiers' guns have also arrived at the Beidaying Armory.

There is only one enemy in front of the entire Northeast, or Beidaying, and that is Yue himself. Although the Northeast Army suffered heavy losses from the surprise shelling, most of them still did not choose to flee, but were ready to take up arms against the devils.

The special operations battalion was the first to react, when the railway explosion sounded, Qu Zhongyi thought that things had changed, back then, his teacher told himself very clearly, he would use all means to achieve his own aggressive goals, for himself, should not have any illusions, but should be extremely vigilant.

When the sound of the explosion came from the Wicker Lake Railway, Qu Zhongyi thought that he had done it, and in the years of Beidaying, he could have seen that there was a railway between the Beidaying and the garrison, so once any incident occurred, the railway would definitely be used as a contradiction.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, grab your weapons, assemble urgently!!"

The armory of the special operations battalion was not with the armory of the Seventh Brigade, but was located at the rear of the barracks, which was convenient for training and use. When he stood in front of the special operations battalion, the first cannon shot had just sounded.

"Brothers, I have launched a shameful sneak attack on us, this is a war, this is a war of aggression against our China. As soldiers, the battlefield is our destination, and it is our mission to defend our home and country. He said that he had repeatedly plagued the land of China before, burning, killing, plundering and doing all kinds of evil, and he had long been the public enemy of the Chinese nation.

In front of them are the devils, and it was they who launched a shameful sneak attack. The Beida Battalion has no leader, and now we must rely on us to resist the attack of Yue himself, buy time for the brothers of the entire Beida Battalion, let them take a breath, and then join us to repel the attack of Yue himself.

Tell me, what should we do in the face of myself!! ”

Qu Zhongyi finished speaking quickly, and then asked with a roar. In front of him stood the brothers of the special operations battalion, although there were only more than 300 people, but they were all excited, and the fires rising from all over the camp shone on their faces, all of them were red and red, and the hands holding rifles were bulging, and the murderous intent was awe-inspiring.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

More than 300 soldiers of the special operations battalion roared in unison, and Qu Zhongyi had repeatedly publicized to the officers and men of the battalion that he had stationed troops in the Kanto region, and told him about his coveting of the Northeast, but he did not expect that it would be verified in less than a year. Sure enough, there will be a battle.

Qu Zhongyi nodded with satisfaction, like the soldiers of the special operations battalion, he carried a Thompson submachine gun, and the entire battalion was equipped with nearly forty Thompson submachine guns, all of which were bought after the special operations battalion sold the property that was brought back by the autumn breeze. As a special operations battalion's strong firepower equipment, it is a sharp weapon for him to prepare for close-range operations.

"Good! Brothers, I don't have much to say, this devil is in front, Lao Tzu, as the battalion commander, will advance and retreat with you, whoever fucking runs away, who is a bastard with no eggs. ”

Qu Zhongyi waved his hand and began to allocate manpower, "Don't panic, everyone, according to the usual training, the mortar team is looking for cover, ready to calibrate the artillery bombardment at any time." The heavy machine gun group, based on the barracks, builds heavy machine gun positions. Anti-tank platoon, find the right time to attack on your own, and the others act in each squad, paying attention to the anti-artillery ......"

"Boom ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent explosion sounded in the camp not far away, and the shelling of the man himself was already extending to the depths of the camp, and there was already a dense sound of gunfire in front of him, so it should be that he had launched an attack and encountered resistance from other Northeast Army.

"Yuyu, did General Wang call back?"

Qu Zhongyi was directing the soldiers to enter the fortifications to prepare to defend against his own attack, and while sending scouts to the front to reconnoiter his own attack, he saw Zhu Yuyu coming out of the communication room.

"No, the phone line was cut by myself. Beiping has not yet called back. ”

"I hope that after General Wang hears the sound of artillery, he can return to Beidaying as soon as possible. I hope that the young marshal can give a decisive order, otherwise it will ......" Qu Zhongyi did not continue, saying that since he dared to launch a surprise attack on the Beida Battalion of the Northeast Army, it was already an ambition to win the Northeast, and once the Northeast Army was unfavorable in the War of Resistance, the entire Northeast would have no troops available.

———————————— Beiping, Zhonghe Theater outside the front door.

The lively theater was full of spectators, and on the stage was a performance by Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang. In order to commemorate the first anniversary of the Northeast Army's dispatch of troops to Guannei and the peaceful end of the Central Plains War, Zhang Xueliang and British Ambassador Lampson were watching Mei Lanfang's "Cosmic Edge" in the theater.

"Mr. Mei's play is really a great masterpiece in the East." Lan Pusheng praised Zhang Xueliang on the side.

Zhang Xueliang also felt the same way, "In the Peking Opera faction, Mr. Wan Hua is indeed a well-deserved first, national treasure-level drama master." ”

At this moment, a person stumbled in, and Zhang Xueliang saw clearly that it was his secretary Lu Zhengde.

Lu Zhengde ran to Zhang Xueliang's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

"What??"

Zhang Xueliang stood up in shock, didn't even have time to answer Lan Pusheng's inquiry on the side, and quickly left the Zhonghe Theater.

"Chairman of the National Committee, I said that at about 9 o'clock tonight, I launched a sneak attack on the Shenyang Beida Camp of our Northeast Army. The army is attacking fiercely, and the war mood of the officers and soldiers is very high, do you see if it is ......?"

Although he only met Chiang Kai-shek on the 12th, and the so-called righteous brother also hinted to himself that he was going to do something in the Northeast, but when the incident really happened, Zhang Xueliang was still shocked and angry.

During the secret meeting a few days ago, Chairman Chiang told him that, according to reliable information, he said that he was going to launch a war against the northeast. However, at present, they have a great situation, not only do they have three elite Kwantung Army divisions in the northeast, but they also have a large number of troops stationed in Korea.

Chiang Kai-shek, who had the full support of Britain, France and the Soviet Union, was full of confidence and believed that the three countries would definitely not give up on him, and had already made a plan to exchange space for time at that time. He only told Zhang Xueliang unequivocally: Give up the Northeast to Yue himself, and moreover, we must ensure that we occupy the moral height.

Thinking of Chiang Kai-shek's stern admonition, Zhang Xueliang still had the courage to dial the phone in Nanjing.

"Han Qing, the matter has come to this point, I ordered the soldiers to return their weapons to the warehouse, not to resist, and the negotiation matters will be discussed by the central government.

"But ......"

"Han Qing, have you forgotten what I said to you five days ago? The matter was thus decided, no resistance was given, the Northeast Army retreated on its own, and the central government discussed and then decided on countermeasures. ”

After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a snap. Song Meiling saw that his face was a little unnatural, and asked him what happened, but he just said that he had done it in the Northeast, and then called the secretary to prepare to meet the ministers of the Three Kingdoms.

Lu Zhengde saw that Zhang Xueliang was a little distracted, and couldn't help but ask softly, "Young marshal, what instructions does the chairman have?" Chief of Staff Rong Zhen and Beida Battalion are still waiting for your call back. ”

Zhang Xueliang shook his head and said with some frustration, "Nanjing is not ready yet, and wants to mediate through the League of Nations." The chairman meant to let the army retreat, put the guns in storage, and not shoot to resist. ”

"What!!" Lu Zhengde exclaimed. "Young marshal, no, Shenyang can't be lost, if Shenyang is lost, the Northeast is in danger."

"I am powerful, and the central government is not allowed to resist, so call back to Rong Zhen. The army withdrew, and as for the local police station, it was enough to disarm the person himself, so as not to anger the person himself, lest they do anything more hurtful and unreasonable. ”

Zhang Xueliang gave the order weakly, and at this time, in his opinion, what Chairman Jiang said also made some sense, the country is not ready, so let the international community mediate. As long as the army is withdrawn, the person who does not resist should not deal with the civilians.

"Secretary Lu, this, this is really the young marshal's order?"

When Rong Zhen heard Lu Zhengde's reply on the phone, he was almost a little incredulous, the marshal was killed by himself, why did the young marshal order the Northeast Army to retreat without resistance? ?

Even Rong Zhen, the chief of staff of the Northeast Army, is also full of hatred, and he can't wait to grab a gun and go to the battlefield to fight with him.

However, when he heard Zhang Xueliang's voice from the phone, he suddenly fell into a state of distraction and did not resist, this was the last order.

"Yes, resolutely." When Rong Zhen put down the phone, he already knew what he should do, restrain the troops, take them away, retreat, or even withdraw to the pass.

The phone to Beidaying was no longer available, and Wang Yizhe had just left, so Rong Zhen decided to go to Beidaying in person. In any case, the Northeast Army is a young marshal, and since the chairman has given orders, retreat is already an inevitable result.

————————- the armory of the Beida Battalion was behind the side of the special operations battalion's defense area, and when the special operations battalion was fully armed and ready to engage the enemy, it encountered other units of the Beida Battalion retreating like a tide. The Beida Battalion faced the direction of Yue himself, and only the company on night duty resisted him.

In addition to killing many officers and men by the heavy artillery of the army, many people were even more frightened, and they just wanted to rush to the armory immediately to get guns and ammunition.

"Da Da Da ......"

Seeing that the scene was too chaotic, many soldiers of the Northeast Army were running around wearing only a pair of linen trousers, picked up the submachine guns in their hands on the spot, and fired into the sky, emptying a 50-round magazine in less than ten seconds.

"Brothers of the Beida Battalion, don't mess up, I am Qu Zhongyi, the commander of the Special Operations Battalion. With our special operations battalion in the way, everyone go to the armory to get their guns. He said that he shamelessly attacked us and started a war, and as soldiers, we should defend our family and defend our country and resolutely fight back!! Qu Zhongyi shouted loudly, "Zhu Yuyu, you lead them to get guns, if there are people who disturb the order, give me the law on the spot!" ”

He knew that at this time, if he was not ruthless, the entire Beida Battalion, the number of officers and soldiers who were safe and sound still reached seven or eight thousand, blocking the front one, and a large number of people rushed behind in a hurry. In order to prevent these chaotic soldiers from breaking the defense line of the special operations battalion, he had to ask Zhu Yuyu to lead the troops to suppress the bullets and lead the team to the armory to receive guns and ammunition.

The rebels were unarmed, and those with weapons were in front to resist him, and the more sporadic but closer and closer gunfire already showed that his attack was approaching the defensive area of the special operations battalion.

"Report to the battalion commander, I said that my vanguard unit is about the size of a reinforced brigade, more than 1,000 people, and in addition to artillery, they also have seven or eight combat vehicles." The scout quickly reported the situation to Qu Zhongyi, and it was the most accurate information he had ever received.

With more than 1,000 people, he said that his own brigade was only the vanguard force, and Qu Zhongyi couldn't help but feel his head tingle. As for the chariots, Beidaying originally also had a chariot team, but at this time it was in Shenyang City, and far water could not quench the thirst.

"Attention to all squads, it is said that I am about to rush up, and the anti-tank team should pay attention to attacking the enemy's chariots." Qu Zhongyi shouted loudly.

Sure enough, after a short time, a group of defeated troops withdrew from the front, with only a few dozen people, almost all of them wounded, and these night companies that resisted the first wave of his attack suffered too heavy losses. Qu Zhongyi ordered someone to take them back on the spot, and they couldn't play a big role in the next battle. Only by blocking the first wave of attacks by himself could the officers and soldiers of the Beida Battalion ease their strength and counterattack the Yue army.

"Shh......h Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

Sure enough, amid the explosion of shells from the extended firing, ugly "thin iron" chariots drove from the camp in front, and with the help of the fire generated by the burning and the flashes of shells exploding from time to time, the doors of the tin chariots were advancing unscrupulously.

Through a faint flash, Qu Zhongyi discovered that these tanks were not tanks, but real "combat cars", and they were also the British-made Wolseley armored cars that he had seen in textbooks. It was originally an armored car, but it was used by Yu himself to charge into battle and bully the Chinese for not having anti-armor weapons.

"The anti-tank team, all aim at me, hit hard!"

Several armored vehicles were intermittently firing at the machine guns on the armored cars where the Northeast Army might be hiding, and some further behind, the infantry of the Yue Army could already be faintly seen.

Several fighters of the anti-tank group of the special operations battalion are fiddling with a French-made Hatch Kaisi 25mm anti-tank gun, which is also the only weapon of the anti-tank group, and it can also be used as direct fire in peacetime, and it is also the only direct fire heavy firepower.

"Boom ......"

After the sound that was not too loud in his life, a flash of fire flew towards his armored car, and the anti-tank shell bit the armored car in front, and the 6mm armored iron sheet could not stop the anti-tank shell at all, and suddenly turned into a fireball, and then there was a rare explosion, which greatly encouraged the soldiers of the special operations battalion.
