Chapter 9: Night of 918 (Two) ()

Under the cover of the deep night, a small group of figures were sneakily moving at the fork of Liutiao Lake Road, the South Manchurian Railway. It seemed that several of them were tied up and escorted with their hands?

These people were Kawamon Momoto, who led more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, asked the local people who were caught to change into the Northeast Army uniforms, removed the rifle of the striker, and then took photos. Then, he assassinated several so-called Northeast Army soldiers with bayonets, leaving only one living person.

He Benmo, who is proficient in engineering blasting, placed a row of 42 explosive packs near the railway's roadbed, and carried out a surface blast. Then, the people in Northeastern military uniforms threw their bodies around the blasting site. He Benmosu immediately fired a red signal flare.

Hearing the sound of blasting, he saw the red signal flares take off again. The captain of Kawashima, the third squadron of the Japanese Manchurian Iron Independent Guarding Second Battalion who had already ambushed near Beidaying, pulled out his samurai sword with a ferocious face!

Kawashima pointed to Takahashi's marshal of the mortar team beside him: "The mortar team fired a few training bullets first at the Chinese military barracks!"

When Takahashi Soldier heard about firing the training bomb, he was stunned. This was a combat mission. Although he carried more than a dozen mortar training bombs of unknown purpose, he was able to cover the infantry's attack and launch the training bombs? Takahashi Soldier who was a little confused, took the courage to ask for instructions: "Captain, are you sure it is a training bomb?"

Seeing that Takahashima could not understand his intentions, Kawashima immediately said angrily: "Baga! You bastard! We must test the reaction of the Chinese army first, do you understand?"

More than a dozen training bombs fell into the quiet Beida camp one after another. The Chinese army in Beida camp did not respond. Kawashima drew out the samurai sword: "Long live the Emperor! Attack!"

Under the cover of three eleventh-type light machine guns, about a squadron of Japanese troops began to attack Beidaying over the Manchu Iron and Steel!

When the explosion sounded at Willow Lake, Seishiro Itagaki, holding the phone, kept talking to Captain Hirata United, the 29th United Army!

After hearing the explosion, Seishiro Itagaki said to Hirata: "Please start the action! Do your best to capture Fengtian City, and we will become the heroes of the empire after tonight!"

Hirata took the phone away from his ear and said to the window: "Please listen to our victory song!"

A song of the sword drawing team that matches the neat step sounds in the microphone of Itagaki Seishiro!

Hanaya, who hurriedly entered the room, nodded to Itagaki Seishiro and said, "I sent a telegram to the commander of the Lushun Kwantung Army as the acting chief of the secret service agency, saying that the tyrannical Chinese army destroyed our South Manchuria Railway and attacked our army, and our army launched a self-defense counterattack."

Seishiro Itagaki solemnly bowed to Masashi Hana and said, "Thank you for your hard work! Let's see Ishihara's Lord!"

A staff officer quickly entered the room and said to Seishiro Itagaki: "Colonel, the captain of Kawashima has broken into the Kitada Camp and requested heavy artillery support!"

At the banquet at Rongzhen's mansion, it was very lively. Rongzhen was holding a wine glass and whispering to a beautiful woman. Suddenly, a deafening explosion that shook the mountain and shocked the red wine glass in Rongzhen's hand fell to the ground and smashed it. Then there were explosion flashes and dense gunshots outside the window. The guests at the banquet suddenly became panicked!

Rong Zhen was stunned when he looked at the red liquid splashing on the white leather shoes...

Just as Kawashima waved the command knife in his hand and shouted for the soldiers to advance bravely, a soldier who had just approached the wall of the Beida Camp suddenly soared into the air with a dull explosion. Even the soldiers around him were overturned to the ground. Before Kawashima could react, the explosions were blown up and down.

There was no whistling of shells? There was no sound of grenade launcher? It was not something like grenades? When Kawashima found the soldiers who were rolling and wailing with their broken legs, they realized that they had accidentally entered the minefield. This area was a pre-selected breakthrough point. The secret service and the independent garrison had conducted repeated reconnaissance before this. How could it be impossible to detect if there were mines?

Since the attack formation has not yet dispersed to form a scattered line, each triggered mine can knock down several Japanese soldiers.

"Don't move everyone! Don't move everyone!" Kawashima's shouts seemed so powerless in a series of explosions. Blood oozed out of the mouth, eyes, and ears of the Japanese soldiers who were blown to the ground by landmines. As their wails were filled with blood foam with bubbles gushed out of their mouths, quickly blocking the trachea of ​​breathing, and then twitching rapidly.

When Kawashima, whose cheeks were cut off by a piece of meat and wrapped like a mummy, was so embarrassed that his troops were leaving the minefield in a very embarrassing manner. Kawashima was extremely surprised to find that his squadron had lost one-third of its troops. Dozens of corpses fell to death near the wall, and about the same number of wounded people were left in place. The wailing sound of dying made his companions unable to bear to look at them.

Zhang Xuewu looked at his watch calmly. The explosions on the Manchurian Railway and the explosions of mines in the direction of the Beida Wall had already made the officers and soldiers of the 619th and 621st Regiment a little panic. Zhang Xuewu now has only two battalions of troops. Li Xin opened the camp and Zhao Xinyu Camp to the Bank of China to escort cash silver and gold, and the other went to the airport to guard the airport until all the planes took off.

Zhang Xuewu knew very well that this was just the beginning. Faced with the decision of the Nanjing Central Government, the Peking side, and even the Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Forces of Shenyang, he could only try to turn the tide without overestimating his ability!

Since the battle has begun, the best result is that the Japanese retreated when they see the difficulties, and the worst result is that Zhang Xuewu dared not think about it or was willing to think about it.

After the Liutiao Lake Incident in history, the Japanese army plundered 40 million taels of silver from the Bank of China in Shenyang alone. The Northeast authorities purchased 262 bombers, fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft, trainers, civil aviation aircraft, etc. from Italy, France, Germany, Britain, the United States, Japan and other countries. Complete production equipment, mortars and various caliber artillery in the three eastern provinces, 26 fighting chariots, 5,864 machine guns, 118,206 rifles and pistols, as well as a large number of guns, ammunition, and food, all fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

These were the strategic resources of Japan's use to expand and quickly occupy the four northeastern provinces and Mongolia. Zhang Xuewu's plan was to dismantle and transport all of these existing resources into the pass. If the Japanese army could not obtain this batch of materials, its military operations in the northeast would not be as smooth as in history, or there would be some unpredictable changes, and all of this was the only thing Zhang Xuewu could do now.

Kawashima, who failed to attack Beida Camp, reported to Seishiro Itagaki, who was commanding the Fengtian secret service, and asked heavy artillery to provide support. Seishiro Itagaki ordered Kawashima to continue to find a breakthrough, and informed the 29th Infantry Regiment and the Fifth Independent Guarding Brigade that were rushing to reinforce Fengtian.

Soon, the two 24-kilometer fortress heavy artillery that was ordered began to shoot towards the Beidaying! The huge explosion was a shaking sound of the earth.

Late at night, Miji Kenkawa was awakened by the violent explosion. According to his professional soldiers, this was the sound of artillery bombardment from the fortress defense cannons with a caliber of more than 20 millimeters. In panic, he hurriedly found Masashiro Hana. Under the guidance of Masashiro Hana, he met Seishro Itagaki who had previously claimed to be not in Fengtian. Miji Kenkawa realized that he had fallen into the trap of Seishro Itagaki's delayed strategy.

Miji Kenkawa, who came to Fengtian secret service, immediately ordered Seishiro Itagaki to stop military operations and wait for the orders of the Central Military Department and the General Staff Headquarters. However, Seishiro Itagaki immediately said wildly: "Manchuria is the lifeline of the Great Japanese Empire. Manchuria does not belong to China. It must have an independent government system and become part of the empire. For this reason, the entire Kwantung Army will not hesitate to join Manchuria even if it breaks from Japanese nationality."

Miji Jiankawa found that the situation had gone out of control, so he hurriedly used the secret telegram room of the secret service to ask the General Staff Headquarters for instructions!
