Chapter 16 Bloody Battle 4
Ishihara slowly put down his telescope and turned around to look at Benzhuang Fan, who looked extremely bad. Ben Zhuangfan was suppressing his anger. How long did the brave and good second division come to Manchuria? The famous Sendai Division in Hokkaido was beaten by far fewer enemies than them to throw away their armor and flee. If it hadn't seen it with your own eyes, Ben Zhuang Fan would never have believed that all this was true?
Seishiro Itagaki, standing behind Benzhuang, hurriedly gave Ishihara Guaner a look. Ishihara Guaner took a deep breath and said, "Commander, from the perspective of the battle just now, the seventh infantry brigade of the Chinese army, which served as a defense, is itself the elite of the Northeast Army. They seem to know the work of our Kwantung Army very well. Characteristics of war? And equipped with a large number of submachine guns, the effectiveness of submachine guns in white-edged warfare far exceeds that of rifles.
Although Major Nishii, who was hanging a staff on the side, was very disdainful of Seishiro Itagaki's statement, it was not easy to interrupt Shangguan's speech and could only stand aside angrily.
Benzhuang nodded blankly, turned back to the carriage of the armored train and stretched out the map and said, "Please call Lin Xianshilang, the commander of the North Korean army, again, and ask him to immediately send no less than two mixed brigades to immediately cross the border to help our army, occupy important cities along the Liaoning and Jilin Manchurian Railway, and at the same time order multiple divisions. The regiment accelerated to Fengtian. I want to know the position and name of the commander in charge of the defense of the Beijing Battalion.
After reting the attack of the Japanese army, Zhang Xuewu bumped into Xu Guohui and Wang Chuang with a face full of gunpowder. Wang Chuang, who was hanging color on his head, looked very excited, because he had just knocked down at least more than 100 Japanese soldiers in front of the position he commanded. After a bloody battle all night, he did not feel any fatigue at all. For Zhang Xuewu The only problem is that the terrain of the Peking University Battalion is not suitable for defensive operations. The flat terrain of the Peking University Battalion is typically easy to attack and difficult to defend. Every time the Japanese army's artillery preparation before the attack can bring huge casualties to the defenders.
Obviously, you can't stick to it, but you still have to stick to it? Is it a regret for history or stubbornness? I'm afraid even Zhang Xuewu himself can't explain it clearly.
Because the Japanese army was attacking the Peking University camp with all its strength, the officials left behind in Shenyang City fled in the direction of Jinzhou with their families and left behind Rong Zhen in Shenyang City. At dawn, they ordered the Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast Border Defense Army to start burning documents and retreat in the direction of Jinzhou.
The withdrawal of the Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast Border Defense Army made some wait-and-see people ready to leave the city. For a while, the whole Shenyang City seemed to have suffered a catastrophe. The sound of children crying, horses and car horns mixed together. A large number of policemen and officers took off their military uniforms and carrying suitcases mixed them in the flow of refugees. It's going slowly.
Because I controlled the railway line, several railway stations in Shenyang City were either occupied by me or paralyzed. The flow of people had no choice but to walk to the freight station in the suburbs of the west of the city.
Rong Zhen, sitting in the black Buick car in the office of the commander of the Northeast Border Defense Force, finally looked at the smoke of Shenyang City from the back window. Rong Zhen was already very uncomfortable. He said that his soldiers pressed the border and ordered the troops to retreat without resistance. As a result, his order became a fart? At least I am also the chief of staff, the director of the military department and the deputy commander of the Northeast Border Defense Force! The most unexpected thing is that Zhang Xuewu, the cousin of the deputy commander, took the lead in organizing the disobeyment? The eldest brother Zhang Xuecheng** plundered, and the second brother openly incited the elite of a brigade to resist the order?
Rong Zhenping's heart, Zhang Xuewu is much more powerful than Zhang Xuecheng. This seventh brigade was handed over by Zhang Zuo to the young commander's guard brigade when the old commander was still there. Wang Yizhe has been operating it painstakingly for many years. Although it can't be said that it is an iron plate, it is also unbreakable. How can the seventh brigade overnight? Where did you follow Zhang Xuewu's order? Don't even hesitate to block the office of the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Border Defense Army, rob the border industry bank, the deputy commander's residence, and the arsenal of the three eastern provinces? Where on earth did they get their courage? Just Zhang Xuewu? I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Rong Zhen slowly closed his eyes. The originally very simple thing became confusing under his analysis at this moment, but he knew better than anyone that if the non-resistance order was implemented, then once the situation was out of control, the first person who was killed by the national population for ten thousand years was his honor. People.
Peking University was beaten upside down, and the casualties were heavy. How could I give up? However, Rong Zhen doesn't care about these problems now. The deputy commander can't convince his cousin. What can others do? Is it to fight with me to the end, or make a secret appointment with Beiping and Nanjing to have a headache!
Zhang Xueliang, who didn't sleep all night, did not get direct contact with Chiang Kai-shek, who arrived in Nanchang, until about 10 a.m. on the 19th, and anxiously reported the situation to Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek immediately returned to Nanjing urgently. On the one hand, he appeased Zhang Xueliang to restrain himself and judge the situation. On the other hand, he decided to personally take command in Nanjing and sent Gu Weijun to the League of Nations to make a statement to the League of Nations as soon as possible. Chiang Kai-shek believed that the powers with interests in China would not ignore the behavior of Japan's attempt to be dominant. He We strongly intend to solve the Northeast incident through diplomatic channels!
However, there is a northeast border guard who did not listen to the order of Shangfeng. The news that he fought with me in the north camp of Shenyang City also made it difficult for Chiang Kai-shek to sleep and eat!
"Who the hell is it? So reckless? This is going to mislead the national affairs!" On his way back to Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek sent a power generation to the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Office of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force in Peiping to thoroughly investigate the matter.
Nanjing's anger made influential newspapers such as declarations, Tai Kung Pao and Xiangjiang Daily issued in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Hong Kong and other places make large-scale reports. For a while, the public opinion and attention of the whole country were all focused on Shenyang. As the mouthpiece of Nanjing's political axe, the central newspaper cautiously kept calm. Silent, waiting for the final conclusion of the political axe.
At noon on the 19th, it has been 15 hours since the Manchurian Incident brazenly launched by the Japanese army. Unlike history, not only Shenyang City has not all fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, but also Andong, Benxi, Gaiping, Anshan, Fengtian, Tianzhuangtai, Changchun, Fushun, Haicheng, Liaoyang, Tie Ling, Changtu, Gongzhuling and Kuanchengzi have not yet fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, which is extremely overstretched. Conservatively, if the Peiping side issues a combat order at this moment, it will not be difficult to annihide the Kwantung Army.
However, everyone knows that behind the small Kwantung Army is the whole Japanese Empire, a war machine that has been poor for many years. The military and political affairs have not been unified, and the domestic warlords have their own way. China, which does not even have a unified national defense force, cannot carry out a full-scale war with Japan.
Soon, the main force of the Second Division of the Kwantung Army and the Mantie Reading Guard could mobilize a total of more than 7,9 hundred people, all of whom arrived at the periphery of the Peking University Camp. This is already the maximum mobility force that the Kwantung Army can mobilize to the maximum extent.
Lieutenant General Duomen Erlang, with a fleshy face and a short figure but a beard, walked into the armored command vehicle of the commander of the Kwantung Army, Benzhuang Fan. Duomen Erlang saluted a soldier with his legs and said, "Your Excellency, in accordance with your order, the main force of our second division and Mori Lianzhi's reading defense team is the first. The third, fourth and sixth brigades have all arrived and are being deployed!"
Ben Zhuang Fan smiled and nodded to Duomen Erlang and said, "Duomen, thank you for your hard work! Please convey your respect to Sen Lianjun for me!"
Then, Ben Zhuang Fan pointed to the map of the Peking University camp on the table and said, "The defense of the middle [***] is very tenacious, and the field fortifications with a complete system are built. The infantry firepower distribution is stronger than our army. An artillery battalion in the direction of Dongling Ammunitions has provided fire support. Now the artillery battalion has retreated to the east. Three provincial arsenals. This army is the elite seventh infantry brigade of the Northeast Army. It is one of the people who stubbornly blocked our army in the Peking University camp. The commander's name is Zhang Xuewu, and he is Zhang Xueliang's cousin.
Duomen Erlang frowned slightly and said, "Zhang Xuewu? It doesn't seem to be a guy with outstanding ability, does it? Why has this person never been mentioned in the military address of Fengtian's secret service?
