Chapter 12 9.18 Night 5
There is an old saying in China that the plan will never catch up with the rapid changes. Just as Zhang Xuewu was preparing to lead the troops to retreat, Xu Guohui sent someone to send the news that the arsenals and stocks of weapons and ammunition in the three eastern provinces are huge, and they could not be moved and demolished as originally planned, and the preparation of explosives was not sufficient!
Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath, although he had done everything possible to collect all the vehicles and fronts that could be called, more than 3,000 guns of various calibers, nearly 6,000 machine guns, more than 110,000 rifles and a large amount of ammunition, and a large amount of equipment in the arsenals of the three eastern provinces, even in the arsenal. With the help of workers, it is absolutely not possible to complete the demolition in one or two days.
The only good news now is that Zhao Xinyu's battalion defeated a small-scale test attack of the Japanese army and let all the planes of the East Tower fly to Jinzhou or Beiping. Zhao Xinyu's troops who rushed to the arsenal of the three eastern provinces can also help more or less.
What should I do? What to do? Zhang Xuewu realized the seriousness of the problem. Historically, the Japanese army was not subjected to organized large-scale resistance on the night of the incident, so the incident began with the sound of the counterattack of the Peking University camp and completely broke away from the trajectory of history.
As a time traveler, Zhang Xuewu's biggest advantage is that he is familiar with the trend of history and can formulate the response plan closest to the historical trend in advance, but now Zhang Xuewu has to admit that he has lost this advantage.
If my counterattack is changed to immobility, then my damage to the arsenal of the three eastern provinces, the Bank of China and the border bank will far exceed the damage caused by the Japanese army. In the end, I'm afraid it will be my own unlucky! Zhang Xuewu, who was hesitant and hesitant in his heart, could only treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor!
Zhang Xuewu had also considered investing all the troops of the 7th Infantry Brigade to carry out a tactical counterattack against the Japanese army, defeating the 29th Infantry Regiment and the 2nd Reading Guarding Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in Shenyang. The premise of this was that Zhang Xuewu himself must be able to control the 7th Infantry Brigade, but this was obviously impossible.
Moreover, the fifth reading force guard brigade of the Japanese army stationed in Tieling has also arrived in Shenyang City. Although the Japanese army does not have many troops, it can quickly gather relatively superior troops for key attacks by taking advantage of the convenience of mastering the railway line.
In terms of command, whether it is a direct order from Zhang Xueliang, Rongzhen or Wang Yizhe, Zhang Xuewu's previous achievements will be abandoned. If Wang Tiehan rushes back in time, it seems to be a problem whether he can work with Xu Guohui and Zhao Xinyu. The army is a small society with a class system. The more refined it is. The more Rui's troops obey the military order, the more unfortunate it is. Unfortunately, the 7th Infantry Brigade is the elite of the Northeast Border Defense Army.
Zhang Xuewu, who is sticking to the Peking University Camp, is in a dilemma. Hirata Duanshan, who fixed his arm to his chest with a triangular scarf, is in a daze with his family's samurai sword. Is it a mistake in Itagaki's information? Zhong [***] has no intention of resisting at all. The fortifications and accurate shelling on the field and the minefield of the west wall can fully explain the problem.
The fierce resistance of the elite 7th Brigade of the Northeast Army caused heavy casualties in the 29th Infantry Regiment under his command. Hirata Duanshan even suspected that he had been trapped by [***]. Otherwise, how could the garrison army dig field fortifications in his own barracks?
As one of the standing divisions, the Second Sendai Division is not a full-time division. The two brigades under it are 40% of the non-wartime formations, which means that the 29th Infantry Wing under the command of Hirata Danshan does not have sufficient troops to provide. He uses it.
The Peking University Battalion has a total of 8,000 people [***], and he can only command the Mantie Second Reading Force Guard Brigade, which has more than half of the casualties. The 29th Infantry Regiment he commanded has suffered more than 300 casualties in the shelling just now, and all the combatants are less than 1,500. If it hadn't come from Tieling. The fifth reading defense brigade arrived, and Hirata Duanshan was about retreating rather than attacking at this moment.
With the previous lesson, Hirata Duanshan has organized several so-called "attacks" in a row, but they occupied several warning posts abandoned by the Northeast Army on the periphery of the Peking University camp. Hirata Duanshan, who was gradually replaced by reason, is very clear. If he is insisting on attacking the Peking University camp, then I'm afraid he won't have to wait until Ming. When Lushun's reinforcements arrived in the morning, his 29th wing would have the possibility of being surrounded or even defeated and annihilated, so Hirata was forced to set up a defensive formation.
The battle of the Peking University Battalion has entered a strange state of stalement. Pingtian Duanshan, who was frustrated in the attack, did not dare to attack easily. Zhang Xuewu was worried that the army would follow the attack and did not dare to retreat easily.
The Japanese army concentrated all the troops that could be mobilized near Shenyang to attack the Peking University camp, so the Fengtian secret service and the gendarmerie team with only a small number of people stationed in Shenyang City can only be busy destroying and spreading rumors, hoping to create chaos in Fengtian City!
Li Xinkai led a large number of cash trucks escorted by the army from the East Gate directly from Shenyang to converge the convoy of gold to the border bank. Looking at Shenyang City behind him, Li Xinkai looked a little gloomy, or worried because of his worried fate, he blew up the Bank of China and the Border Bank, and forcibly fought. The six vaults of the marshal's mansion have been opened, which is enough for me to die dozens of times.
Thinking of this, Li Xinkai suddenly turned his heart. Since he worked with Zhang Xuewu, he couldn't take care of so much. It was amazing that he could only die once. If there were too many lice, he didn't bite, and he didn't have to worry about too much debt!
Zhang Xuewu, who stuck to the Peking University camp, unexpectedly received a phone call from Zhang Xueliang from Peiping? It turned out that Zhang Xueliang, who watched Mei Lanfang's "Cosmic Front" at the Beiping Theater that night, received a report from Shenyang's military provocation and fighting with the 7th Brigade. When he returned to the Union Hospital, he found that he could not get in touch with the office of the commander of the Northeast Border Defense Army in Shenyang?
Soon, the Office of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Changchun, Jilin Province reported that the military Manchurian Railway Reading Guard and the headquarters of the Second Division were in action. Zhang Xueliang, who was very worried about the situation in Shenyang, ordered the adjutant to call the relevant members of Shenyang one by one. From the office to home, he found nothing, and finally miraculously connected. A phone call from the 7th Infantry Brigade stationed at the Peking University Battalion!
"Who are you? Which one?" Zhang Xuewu knew that the other end of the phone was Zhang Xueliang, the young commander of the Northeast Army. After taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuewu shouted, "Deputy Commander! I'm your cousin Chengwen!"
When Zhang Xueliang heard that he was his younger brother, he was relieved and said, "What is Chief of Staff Rong Zhen doing? Wang Yizhena? What is he doing? Why don't you implement the 17th day milling of the Nanjing Central Committee? You should immediately collect the restraining troops, stop resisting, do not expand the dispute, wait for the instructions of the central government, and report to the League of Nations for a political settlement.
Zhang Xuewu said quietly, "How can I command so many troops as the chief of staff of the regiment? Now the gunfire is rumbling outside, and the gunfire is like a rainstorm.
Zhang Xueliang was already a little crazy and said, "Sent someone to my marshal's mansion. There is the key to the vault under the second tile under the desk in my study. Go to the vault to get my seal. If you don't listen to this order, you can deal with it on the spot regardless of class and military rank."
Zhang Xuewu took a long breath when he heard the big seal, so he asked in a low voice, "Deputy Commander, I said that I have called over. Why don't we resist? This time, I'm sure that I'm a big plan for a long time, and it's definitely not a small fight.
Zhang Xueliang heard that his cousin Zhang Xuewu, who had always been obedient, actually called himself deputy commander? Instead of the cousin who said it, when he thought of Zhang Xuewu's eldest brother Zhang Xuecheng's consistent work, he suddenly became angry from the bottom of his heart and became bold. He almost hysterically roared, "Don't you think that my military law doesn't kill my family? You are still my good brother and a good officer of my Northeast Army.
Zhang Xuewu paused for a moment. He remembered that later generations of NHK TV interviewed Zhang Xueliang, who was more than 90 years old. Zhang Xueliang frankly admitted that he underestimated his strategic intentions and ambitions, coupled with the domestic environment and the surrounding political form at that time, so he issued an order not to resist.
Zhang Xuewu solemnly put the phone in his ear and said loudly, "I don't want you to make a wrong decision that makes you chagrin for life, big brother!"
Zhang Xueliang still calmed down a lot, so he said frankly, "This is the need of politics. The military should obey politics, the region should obey the country, and the army should attack and die, sacrificing the ego and the benevolence of the whole country. Do you still remember the admonition of the martial arts hall? Soldiers should take obedience to orders as their vocation.
Zhang Xuewu replied, "I'm a soldier, and you are the deputy commander. You are a politician. Foreign invaders invaded my home. As a soldier, I sacrificed my life for my life and sacrificed my life for the country. I can't carry out your order. The blood-stained yellow sand horse leather shroud should also be worthy of 30 million Northeast compatriots."
Zhang Xuewu hung up the phone with a crack. Zhang Xueliang, who was at the other end of the phone, stood blankly. He couldn't even notice the phone slipping from his hand. He just successfully detoxified and looked very clear. Tie Qing's face and sweat made Yu Fengzhi and Miss Zhao Si, who were standing aside very worried.
Wang Libin, the adjutant beside him, picked up the phone and listened, and shook the handle again, but there was still a busy sound in the headphones. Wang Libin hung up the phone resentlessly and shook his head slightly to Zhang Xueliang.
Zhang Xueliang hesitated for a moment and immediately picked up the phone again and called Zhang Zuoxiang, who was in charge of Jinzhou. As a result, he didn't say a word. Zhang Zuoxiang shouted to Zhang Xueliang on the phone in a hurry: "My deputy commander! Are you really calm? Xiao Yuben came over, and his hometown Fengtian opened the pot. Our troops were ready. They immediately went to Dahu Mountain and copied Xiao Yuben's back road!"
Zhang Xueliang frowned as soon as he heard it. Why is he a stubborn Zhang Xuewu? But who is Zhang Zuoxiang? In private, Zhang Xueliang himself had to politely call the "auxiliary commander", so Zhang Xueliang could only comfort him with the kind words of his surname: "The current situation is still unclear, and it is impossible to know the real intention and motivation of the Japanese. Don't act recklessly to expand the incident. I reported the Nanjing National Government Axe above, and your department can send the direction of Dahu Mountain. With no more than one battalion of vigilance troops, the Shenyang Incident should fully cooperate with the central government, and sacrifices are inevitable. Remember that the country is great, and personal honor and disgrace are light! With more than 20,000 guns, it can occupy the northeast, right?
After a long time, Zhang Zuoxiang muttered, "It's all up to you. Anyway, this industry and this team are all left to you."
As soon as he heard Zhang Zuoxiang's execution of the order, Zhang Xueliang was as if he were exhausted...
