When he walked out of the thickened air defense door of the military conference hall, Huang Ke heard the sound of students outside shouting slogans in unison, Huang Ke couldn't help frowning, Ye Shaoming introduced the situation to him, and followed him forward, the further he went, the louder he became, until Ye Shaoming was covered when he talked to him.

Huang Ke did not go directly to the first floor, but walked towards the fifth floor of the Ministry of Defense, where he could see the entire scene below, he naturally could not act recklessly, at least to understand the overall situation here before making any action.

"How many students are out there now?" Huang Ke put down the binoculars and asked Ye Shaoming beside him.

"Just now it was only a few thousand, but now it seems that it is probably tens of thousands. I have strictly ordered the guard troops to guard the exits, and the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters is also mobilizing troops to come to reinforce them. ”

Ye Shaoming felt a cold sweat break out on his head, now the number of guards in the Ministry of Defense is less than a thousand, if these people really break in, he really doesn't know what to do.

Like Ye Shaoming, Huang Ke was also shocked by this scene, looking out from the fifth floor, a large number of students gathered at the front door of the Ministry of National Defense, the long line stretched for miles away, hundreds of guards wearing steel helmets were photographed in several rows, they stood in front of the gate of the Ministry of National Defense with their hands in hand, the horses and barbed wire in front of them had been pushed away, and a large number of students had gathered in front of the gate.

On the left side of the gate, a female student with short ear-length hair stood on a high place and raised her arms and shouted, and the students below were excited and shouted, everyone waved angry fists and demanded that the traitors be punished and taken to the Northeast!

"Commander Huang, the students are too emotional, I think someone must have instigated it, and the subordinates will go to appease it, you better go back first." In the golden autumn weather, Ye Shaoming's thin military uniform was already sweaty, and the tension in his heart could be imagined. He thought that this matter was within his control, but he had never come up with this matter, but now he could only control the situation, if he waited for Huang Ke and them to come out in person, it would seem that he was too incompetent.

Huang Ke ignored Ye Shaoming's suggestion, he handed the telescope in his hand to Fourteen Tsai and said, "Director Ye, lead the way ahead, I'll go see the students." ”

As soon as he heard that Huang Ke was going down, Ye Shaoming couldn't help but get nervous, and he hurriedly said: "Commander Huang, this can't be done, you are now in the Ministry of Defense, and I must be responsible for your safety." ”

Saying that, Ye Shaoming stopped Huang Ke, Ye Shaoming was one meter eighty-five tall, looking like a tiger's back, standing in front of Huang Ke like a wall, and his two huge arms stretched out to block Huang Ke tightly.

"Ye Shaoming!" Although Huang Ke is not as tall as him, the majesty exuded by him as a first-class general is incomparable to Ye Shaoming, Ye Shaoming is a little timid, after all, he knows Huang Ke's quick temper.

"Commander Huang, my subordinates can't let you go down at the risk of death, you must know that although these students are patriotic, they are thugs once they are used."

Saying that, Ye Shaoming waved his hand and motioned to a few tall guards to send Huang Ke back to a safe place below, this time even Fourteen Tsai also maintained a tacit acquiescence, Huang Ke's status is not what it used to be, without ensuring safety, he really didn't dare to let him walk around casually, and today's situation is very complicated, tens of thousands of students who know if anyone has mixed in?

"Rebelled against you?" Huang Ke scolded angrily, and when the dignitaries broke free from a few people and walked down, a voice from behind stopped him. Huang Ke looked back, and Bai Chongxi from the Military Staff came over and whispered to Huang Ke: "Commander, General Zhang Xueliang has asked to speak directly with you." ”

Hearing this, Huang Ke canceled the idea of going to the door to talk to the students, and immediately took the elevator directly to the military conference hall. In the military conference hall, Wang Jingwei and other important government officials had already left through the secret passage, and only those generals and staff officers of the Ministry of National Defense were left in the room.

A long-term phone in the confidential room next to it was pulled here, Jiang Xianyun was learning about the specific situation on the front line with Zhang Xueliang, and when he saw Huang Ke arrive, Jiang Xianyun said a few words to Zhang Xueliang and handed the microphone to Huang Ke.

"Hey, Brother Han Qing, I'm Huang Ke, what's the situation on your side?" Huang Ke took the phone, the loud voice echoed in the hall, although he and Zhang Xueliang did not meet too much, they even led the troops to fight during the Northern Expedition, but in the later attack on Zhang Zuolin and the Northeast Banner, Huang Ke contacted him many times, and because of this, Zhang was more grateful to Huang in addition to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, Huang Ke was a little older, and the two of them also called each other brothers.

At this time, Zhang Xueliang and Huang Ke were on the phone, on the one hand, they wanted to see that his phone was silent for a while, and after a while, Zhang Xueliang's low and tired voice came: "Brother Xinghua, I ...... I am a sinner through the ages. ”

Huang Ke took a deep breath after hearing this, it seems that Zhang Xueliang is a little indecisive, he wants to protect his Northeast Army and fight against the Japanese, but the Japanese know that he can't beat them, so he has to retreat step by step.

"Brother Han Qing, don't worry, we can fight back the lost city, but the sinners of history can't do it, and you can't change it after doing it for a lifetime."

"Hey!" Zhang Xueliang sighed on the other end of the phone: "I lost Shenyang last night, but I didn't expect the Japanese army to be satisfied, and now they have marched to the periphery, Siping, Yingkou, Phoenix, Andong, and many cities in Changchun have been ......occupied by them."

Huang Ke couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, it was only half a day and a night, he didn't expect to lose so many cities after losing Shenyang, and every inch of the country was constantly falling, and they were still here discussing whether to fight with people or not?

"Zhang Xueliang, after falling so many territories overnight, are the Northeast Army under your command all Boy Scouts? Do you want to be a sinner through the ages who will be cursed by future generations? Huang Ke's voice was a few decimens louder than just now, Zhang Xueliang, who had always been a self-reliant king, did not refute after hearing it, there was a silence after saying this, and in the military conference hall, everyone also turned their eyes here, Jiang Xianyun came over and comforted Huang Ke with his eyes not to be angry, through the microphone, Jiang Xianyun vaguely heard Zhang Xueliang's endless sigh over there.

After half ringing, Zhang Xueliang's tired but firm voice came from the other end of the phone, "Brother Xinghua, let me ask you, if it is you, what should you do?" ”

Huang Ke immediately replied: "There is no need to make such an assumption, I can't answer you now, but someone has already answered for you." Now, tens of thousands of students have gathered in front of the gate of the Ministry of National Defense, and they all came after hearing about the Northeast Incident, and they are asking the Ministry of Defense, what were you Zhang Xueliang and the Northeast Frontier Army of hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves doing last night? Why did the city of Shenyang fall into the hands of the Japanese army overnight without firing a single shot? ”

"Brother Han Qing, let me tell you the truth, we, the senior generals, are hiding in the conference hall below the Ministry of National Defense and dare not go out, because when I go out to meet them, I have no way to answer their questions, let alone have the face to meet them? As a soldier, it is our duty to defend the territory, but this is giving the territory to others for nothing, is this our Chinese soldiers? ”

Huang Ke on the other end of the phone was angry, he treated Zhang Xueliang as if he was talking to his brother who was not angry, there was no diplomatic rhetoric, and there was no false officialdom, but he said everything to Zhang Xueliang's heart, why didn't he want to fight with the Japanese, but Nanjing's attitude was vague, neither said to fight, nor did he say no, he understood that Nanjing wanted to use the hands of the Japanese to eradicate local forces. Moreover, after the Middle East Road incident, he himself saw the strength of the armies of the great powers, coupled with the fact that there were many factions in the Northeast Army, and the central government regarded it as a thorn in the side.

But after giving up Shenyang, he began to regret it in his heart. This is the territory of their old Zhang family, the marshal's mansion in Shenyang City, the mink skin in the deep mountains and old forests, and the fertile black soil...... Everything here is so beautiful, it's a pity that the Japanese occupy it all, he is unwilling, no one will be willing!

What's more, to be infamous through the ages?!

Hearing the silence over there, Huang Ke asked in a firm tone, "General Zhang, would you like to let you regroup your team and fight back now?" ”

In fact, Huang Ke has already made a plan, if Zhang Xueliang says "unwilling" or prevaricates, he will immediately go to the front line to transfer troops to the east, isn't it the Kwantung Army? He wants to see how many heads the Kwantung Army has!

As soon as Huang Ke's words fell, Zhang Xueliang took a deep breath and said, "My subordinates will not disgrace their lives!" ”

After the private dialogue between the two was completed, Huang Ke and the General Staff decided to draw up a combat order, and someone persuaded him that the transfer of troops needed to be discussed and approved by the parliament, Huang Ke waved his hand and said: "Wait for them to discuss, I'm afraid that the Japanese will come to Nanjing, the national constitution stipulates that in the event of a sudden local attack, the Ministry of Defense has the right to deal with it in self-defense, and the precious incident has passed, when will it wait?" ”

After discussion, the Ministry of National Defense issued an order ordering the Northeast Frontier Army led by General Zhang Xueliang to hold on to the territory and fight back against the provocative Japanese army, and this order was quickly issued; Along with this order, there was also an order for first-level combat readiness, and immediately after the whole army entered the first-level combat readiness, the B type army of each military region quickly replenished its troops, and the troops of Batu and Liu Jian stationed in Suiyuan and Jinzhou began to march northeastward, and the mechanized group armies of Lin Zuoda and Xue Boling immediately went to Jinzhou to assemble and stand by.

In the bleak autumn breeze, Huang Ke walked out of the gate of the Ministry of National Defense in a crisp thin tweed military uniform, surrounded by Yang Yibing, Fourteen Tsai and many guards. The students, who had been starving for a day, widened their eyes, and someone saw the three * on Huang Ke's epaulettes and knew that the official was coming, so the crowd gathered again.

Huang Ke brought the microphone of the megaphone and said with a full atmosphere: "Students! Fellow citizens! I am Huang Ke, director of the Military Staff of the Ministry of National Defense, and I apologize to you again as a soldier for the defeat of the Northeast Frontier Army yesterday due to the attack on the Northeast Frontier Army, which resulted in the loss of the country. ”

"Nonsense! They obviously don't dare to fight! This man is a liar! "Yes, the Northeast Army is all a bad breed, an insider in the civil war, and an outsider in the foreign war!" …… Some people in the crowd began to take the lead in opposition, and Yang Yibing, who was standing next to Huang Ke, glanced at the person, and a plainclothes stared at the "student" who took the lead in shouting.

Although some people objected, many more people looked here, and they all knew that Huang Ke, a general who dared to open fire with the Japanese during the Northern Expedition, had a high reputation among the students.

"Just now, some classmates raised objections, and we accept this kind of criticism, after all, it is our soldiers who have not fulfilled their responsibilities. However, the Northeast Army was only attacked by the Japanese army because of its low vigilance and lax training, and just less than ten minutes ago, the Ministry of National Defense had already issued a military order, and the whole army had entered the first level of combat readiness, and we must drive out the Japanese in the northeast! ”

After Huang Ke finished speaking, a representative of the students arranged by the pre-cadre office immediately raised his arms and shouted: "Drive the Japanese out!" Immediately afterward, the cries of "drive the Japanese out" rang out.
