Chapter 21: Evacuate from Chenyang

However, what disappointed Zhang Xuewu was that this assault that was definitely beyond the expectations of the Japanese army, and no senior Japanese generals were killed. From the comprehensive judgment of the seized documents and military maps, plus the rank of the Japanese staff who were shot dead, this was a Japanese brigade-level command center. Zhang Xuewu was very puzzled, is the Japanese head watered? Set the brigade-level command center at the forefront?

According to the Japanese Infantry Training Code, the brigade-level command must be at least twenty kilometers away from the front line. The situation in Beidaying is special, and the defenders lack artillery fire, but setting the brigade-level command center in the position of the brigade-level command post is definitely not a heroic expression, but a pig-headed behavior.

The Japanese generals were not killed or captured, but only a few major and Zhongsou staff officers were killed. In addition, a major general's military uniform and top and several large suitcases were seized. Zhang Xuewu did not ask whether there was a military flag. The first-level military flags of the Japanese wing all had a squadron's flag guarding force. It would be much easier to capture the military flag and kill several Japanese colonels and help them complete their dream of promotion.

He gave up Beidaying and met with Zhao Xinyu and Zhang Tianpeng, the armed forces of the three eastern provinces. Looking at the huge factory area, Zhang Xuewu felt a wave of powerlessness. Although nearly 10,000 workers helped the disassembly and transport the equipment, in 72 hours, less than 70% of the equipment for dismantling and loading the vehicle could only be removed and most of the super heavy equipment could not be taken away. Zhang Xuewu even had no explosives to destroy these equipment to prevent the enemy from investing in the enemy. After making a decision, he could only destroy or dismantle important components to prevent the Japanese army from using it.

The 400 2.5-ton Focus trucks stored in the Arsenal of the Three Northeastern Provinces were unable to find enough drivers, so they could only burn more than 190 of them. Seeing the large amount of equipment purchased by the people of the four Northeastern Provinces being abandoned, Zhang Xuewu's heart was bleeding.

In history, these equipment and weapons were used to the maximum extent by the Japanese army. The easy fall of the three northeastern provinces and the later Rehe River caused the Japanese ambitions to expand rapidly.

Looking at the Chenyang City in the night, Zhang Xuewu didn't know whether the robbery happened in history but was deliberately forgotten. Rape and massacre would happen again? Perhaps his resistance further aroused the beast nature of the Japanese army? People can choose to forget, but history will not forget. After the Japanese army broke through the city, it was initially stopped. After incomplete statistics, more than 80% of the merchants in Chenyang City were robbed, more than 600 households were wiped out, and Japanese soldiers shot passers-by at will, and countless rapes were raped...

On September 22, 1931, the Japanese vanguards began to search and advance into Chenyang City in multiple directions. Zhang Xuewu commanded the last company of the 620 Regiment to board the car and headed towards Jinzhou. Looking at the bustling refugees along the way, Zhang Xuewu sat quietly in the passenger seat without expression. No matter how he beautified and promoted the war, the ones who suffered the most trauma in the war will always be ordinary people.

On both sides of the road with numb expressions, some people occasionally looked up at the Northeast Frontier Defense Force officers and soldiers on the car with empty eyes. This glance was like a surviving officer and soldier of the 620th Regiment who had fought for several days and nights.

When facing foreign humiliation, the northeast corner, which was raised by hundreds of thousands of people from the Northeast, could only turn to the enemy and hand over his home. As a soldier, he could not protect the country and the people, but he still had to withdraw from his home, let the enemy burn his house, kill his relatives and his sisters? What is the reason for this?

The officers and soldiers of the 620th Regiment of the 7th Infantry Brigade of the Northeast Frontier Defense Forces on the car looked desolately at the fellow villagers walking on both sides of the road. As soldiers, they were speechless. The defending of Beidaying had won three precious days for the people of Chenyang City. The exhausted Zhang Xuewu felt for the first time how insignificant the power of human beings is in front of the wheel of the historical tide?

Unless he can have the power to make decisions in the military and political situation, and he also has a certain prestige, it is ridiculous to reverse history! The final result of the three-day bloody battle was that Chenyang City fell only two days later than in history. Perhaps when he led his troops to retreat, the Japanese and Nanjing were relieved, right?

Suddenly, a sudden brake caused the drowsy Zhang Xuewu to have an intimate contact with the front windshield. The confused Zhang Xuewu was hit by a mess. Zhang Xuewu rubbed his forehead and missed his seat belt very much. He found that a group of students blocked the way of his vehicle?

Dozens of students blocked the road. Standing in front were a few female students wearing blue double-breasted women's clothes, black pleated skirts, white stockings and short hair?

The refugees on the roadside saw this scene and hurriedly walked around the sides. Although watching the excitement is a deeply rooted problem among the Chinese people, the excitement depends on whom. For example, the military master with a loud breeze and the lively beard are all looked down upon. If you are not careful, the price of Master Qiu Ba’s showing his power is his own life.

Zhang Xuewu opened the car door, and Li Mingtang hurriedly came with dozens of guards carrying the Huaji. Zhang Xuewu then realized that it was raining lightly at some point in the sky. Looking up at the dark sky, Zhang Xuewu wiped the rain from his face. Is this God crying for the beginning of the fall of the Northeast? Perhaps from today on, 30 million people will fall under the iron hoof of the Japanese invaders!

Looking at the students who were slightly timid and still relying on their courage to stop the car, Zhang Xuewu walked up to him and found that the extremely beautiful and charming girl in the lead had a blue lips trembling slightly. The rain dripping from her cuffs proved that the girl was already wet!

Looking at the charming girl Zhang Xuewu took off her raincoat and untied her armed belt, put her woolen uniform on the girl, and then put her raincoat outside. A gust of autumn wind swept over, Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath and said, "Li Mingtang put all the raincoats on the students!"

The girl looked at Zhang Xuewu stubbornly, threw her raincoat and military uniform on the ground and said excitedly: "I don't wear the clothes of the Northeast Army, sir! You can't just retreat like this! You are soldiers, and it is your responsibility to defend the country. If you don't resist invasion, please hand over the weapons to us and we will resist invasion!"

Yes! Give us the weapon! Send us a gun!

Looking at the excited students, Zhang Xuewu silently picked up his military uniform and shook the mud and water covered with it and said quietly: "It's not the Northeast Army, but the Northeast Frontier Defense Force of the Army of the Republic of China. As a soldier, you should take obeying orders as your duty. Students, please get on the car! You must cherish your body, you are the future of the country. Now, the deputy commander-in-chief of Jilin, Zhang Zuoxiang, returned to Jinzhou to take charge, and the main force of our army is also gathering in the direction of Dahushan to prepare for a counterattack! Please believe me!"

"I really want to counterattack?" Faced with the girl's doubts, General Zhang Xuewu slapped his chest loudly, and finally persuaded all of these students to get on the truck.

Li Mingtang, who was standing by the side, hesitated for a moment and said, "Chief of Staff, do you really want to counterattack?"

Zhang Xuewu smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "I don't want to deliberately deceive them. These students are valuable wealth for the future of the country. Sometimes they also need some kind lies. If we want to counterattack, we will have to counterattack long ago. When we are alone, we will not see reinforcements but only blame the telegrams like snowflakes. The general trend is in favor of you and me, we can only do our best and leave our destiny!"

While resting and having dinner on the way, Zhang Xuewu learned that the girl who took the lead in stopping the car was Chen Yilan, a student from Northeastern University. Her father was Chen Hanze, chairman of the Bank of China. A daughter-in-law dared to take dozens of students to intercept military vehicles and ask for weapons. It was really lingering. If she encountered a bunch of defeated soldiers or soldiers, she might be in trouble.
