Chapter 5: Layout in the Crisis ()

A slight cool autumn wind swept by, and the evening in Chenyang City was much cooler than the high-light midday when the autumn tiger shone.

On the evening of September 16, taking advantage of the opportunity of Honjo Shizuo inspecting the 29th Infantry Regiment of Fengtian, Seishiro Itagaki, Kanir Ishihara, Masashiro Hanaya, Imada, Ono, Kawashima, Kojima, Nakura and others secretly gathered in the conference room on the second floor of Fengtian Special Services Agency. For the last time, a heated discussion was held on whether to resolutely implement the established plan in advance.

Hanaya looked around the people participating in the meeting in the room. It was undoubtedly that Colonel Seishiro Itagaki and Kanji Ishihara Nakasa had the highest military rank and the most important status. The "Guining Tape" on Itagaki and Ishihara's shoulders made Hanaya so jealous that she couldn't even calm down.

Hua Guzheng knew very well that these staff members in the headquarters were all elites of the Lu University. If nothing unexpected happens, they would be a ten-year-old colonel. The general was basically a decisive decision. If he could not be promoted to the colonel before he was forty-five years, then what was waiting for him was to transfer to the reserve.

In the past few years, Qian Huagu has done a lot of work, but his promotion has become increasingly slim. This opportunity in front of him seems to have made him gamble. After all, even if there is a problem, he will be protected with his traditional style of acting in the General Staff Headquarters.

Hanaya was looking at Imada, Ono, Kawashima, Kojima, Nakura and others who were more eager than him. In his mind, these guys might be small characters that would be sacrificed?

Finally, because Colonel Kingoro Hashimoto sent four telegrams in a row, Seishiro Itagaki, who was still slightly confused, and Ishihara Kanir and Ishihara secretly discussed separately and decided to launch an incident in advance on September 18, 1931, the same day when the Manchu Iron Guards finally gathered.

Because before this, Seishiro Itagaki had obtained the promise of Major General Mori Lian, the independent garrison team. Seishiro Itagaki stayed in Fengtian to continue to deal with matters related to the "Nakamura Incident", while Kanir Ishihara accompanied Commander Honjo Shizuka to return to Lushun overnight.

While the Japanese were in full swing, Zhang Xuewu led the entire regiment to conduct field fortification excavation training in the forest in the playground of Beidaying. The abnormal behavior of the 620th Regiment made the Cavalry Battalion and the 619 and 621st Regiment watch a joke. Geng Shengyun, the chief of staff of the 619th Regiment, who was responsible for the rotation of the 619th Regiment, just smiled slightly and said: "Young Master does whatever he wants! Can we control it? The 620th Regiment is naturally filled in by their 620th Regiment."

Early the next morning, Zhang Xuewu organized his troops to continue yesterday's field bunker and began to expand his positions, connecting the individual standing-mounted shooting bunkers into fortification lines with traffic trenches, equipped with fire support points, and digging heavy machine gun frog bunkers with 60 mortars. In most of the 17th, Zhang Xuewu almost dug the playground of Beidaying with holes, which was a terrible sight.

Many people admire Geng Shengyun, the chief of staff of the 619th Regiment, who was responsible for the rotation of the camp, who could still sit firmly on Diaoyutai. Geng Shengyun was a little helpless about Zhang Xuewu's whim. He was afraid that if he went there, the other party would not give him face and would be furious. In addition, Zhang Xuewu would be the rotation of the brigade on the 18th tomorrow, so he simply left the camp and went to the secret door of Sandaokou to find his old lover.

In the early morning of September 18, 1931, Zhang Xuewu generals Li Xinkai, Wang Chuang, Zhao Xinyu, Xu Guohui, Zhang Tianpeng and others gathered together. Zhang Xuewu, who was carrying two Mauser pistols on his back, carried a commonly known as the Flower Mechanism. This is a truly German-made p18 submachine gun, not a copy of Fengtian Arsenal's reverse decomposition based on the gun body.

Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath and said, "I have obtained the guards from the brigade headquarters. At 17 pm, the Dongshan ammunition Depot will be opened and notified the 619th Regiment and the battalion commander and officers above the 620th Regiment will come to the meeting. If anyone questioned not to cooperate with the action, take the opportunity to take them all down. The entire brigade troops distributed ammunition and entered the playground fortifications after 19 pm. After Li Xin opened the battalion and cooperated with the border defense locomotive regiment to arrive at the Bank of China before 21 pm. Remember to bring more explosives, transfer all the cash and deposits in the bank to the pass, and escort the troops with a company! The remaining troops went to the Dongling ammunition Depot to reinforce and defend."

"Yes!" Li Xin stood at attention.

Zhang Xuewu glanced at the map and said to Zhao Xinyu: "Your battalion arrived at the East Tower after 19 o'clock and summoned all the pilots. No matter what method you take, even if it is a coercion, they must force them to take off, go to Jinzhou or Peiping, and then rush to the Arsenals of the Three Eastern Provinces to stand firm and wait for assistance."

"Yes!" Zhao Xinyu also stood at attention.

Zhang Xuewu compared and said to Wang Chuang on the map: "Send two plainclothes squads to me to infiltrate the Japanese army's rear. Once there is a war in the direction of Beidaying, immediately and decisively blast the South Manchuria Railway and delay the Japanese reinforcements. The main force of your battalion took action at 22:00 tonight to cut off all military and civilian telephone lines in Fengtian City. We don't need Japanese devils, and then control the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Forces Office, be careful not to hurt people if you get fire. Someone asked about it, it was the order of Chief Rong Zhen, and I'll find a way to find a way for the deputy commander's guardian letter."

Zhang Xuewu interrupted Wang Chuang, who was about to salute, and said seriously: "You must act decisively, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with the morale of the army if it is in chaos!"

Zhang Xuewu finally said to Xu Guohui and Zhang Tianpeng: "You guard Beidaying and then move to the Arsenals in the three eastern provinces after dawn. The troops of the 619th Regiment and the 621st Regiment asked them to load the car. The inventory and equipment that the arsenal could take were transported to Jinzhou, and all those that could not be taken away were blown up."

Zhang Tianpeng took a breath and said, "Oh my God! How many car wrists and motorcycle heads do you need?"

Zhang Xuewu hesitated and said, "I will take a company to Fengtian Station later and transfer all the car wrists and motorcycle fronts over, try my best!"

After the assignment, Zhang Xuewu wiped the sweat from his forehead. His qualifications were too shallow, and he knew very well that his small movements would not last long. Whether it was Zhang Xueliang, Rong Zhen and Zhang Zuoxiang, once anyone's orders came down, the 619th and 621st regiments that were trapped by him would collapse immediately. Even the 620th regiment at his hand was still an unknown number! If Wang Tiehan returns, will these battalion commanders and the platoon leaders below obey him?

Only then did Zhang Xuewu understand why soldiers were willing to form gangs and factions in history during the warlords' melee, and even during the War of Resistance Against Japan in the Republic of China, because everyone needed the so-called reliable people to help at critical moments, otherwise your brother would be alone and trapped in the lonely city and no one would come to help, and in the end he would be able to break the city and die.

With many concerns, Zhang Xuewu could only choose the only way he could to transfer the materials in Fengtian City to the best of his ability to prevent these materials from being used by enemies in history.

After Zhang Xuewu arrived at Fengtian Station, he did not find a busy webmaster. According to his secretary, the webmaster had to go to work in the afternoon. The secretary of the stationmaster of Fengtian Station was the one whom many people asked for? For the sake of several car skins, jewelry, big smoke, Citibanks, and Oriental women, what did this guy confiscate? He naturally would not take a small lieutenant colonel into consideration.

The webmaster's secretary's ignorance changed after Zhang Xuewu stuffed the muzzle of the p18 submachine gun into his mouth. The secretary, who had two front teeth, confessed to the kiln where the webmaster was.

Soon, Webmaster Feng, who was wearing only underwear and covered his head, was brought back. When he saw his blue-faced secretary, Webmaster Feng was a versatile person, so he immediately expressed his full cooperation. Zhang Xuewu didn't talk nonsense and directly revealed his identity!
