Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

historical inertia

The Northeast Army is stationed outside Shenyang City, because of the martial law of the Japanese barracks.The two infantry brigade garrisons also entered a state of martial law a day earlier.

However, the difference from the Japanese is that the Japanese martial law is to distribute weapons and ammunition to the troops in preparation for the upcoming war.The two infantry brigades of the Northeast Army put their swords and guns into storage under Zhang Xueliang's order.In order to avoid the outbreak of conflict between China and Japan and lead to larger-scale battles, all the ammunition in the hands of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were confiscated and sealed in the ammunition depot directly because of an order from Zhang Xueliang.

At this moment, the two infantry brigades in the northeast seem to be well-equipped and very powerful.In fact, it has become a sick tiger with two lost fangs, no attack power, and even little ability to resist.

Of course, as the local snake of the Northeast Sansheng, although the two infantry brigades are stationed outside the city.However, he is well aware of the situation in the city.The Japanese police station in Shenyang City had just started operations, and the news flew to the two military camps as if it had grown wings. [

In the brightly lit brigade headquarters, looking at the information just sent by the communications department, the chief of staff frowned into a deep "Sichuan" word.Facing the major general brigade commander who was also frowning beside him, he said: "Traveler, the little devils have already started to move. With the hundreds of policemen in the city who have almost no combat effectiveness, it is impossible to be the opponent of these hundreds of little devils. Don't we count Wan Dajun, really just watched the little devil occupy Shenyang City, indifferent..."

The major general's brigadier's face was also very ugly.Especially after hearing the chief of staff's complaint, a painful and helpless expression quickly flashed across his face.but.After thinking of the several "restraint" orders given to him by the commander-in-chief, he shook his head helplessly.He said: "Chief of Staff, don't forget. We are soldiers, and soldiers must obey orders as their bounden duty."

"But, Shenyang City..." when the chief of staff was about to persuade the seat in front of him with a stubborn face.

The brigade commander interrupted the chief of staff with a slightly impatient voice: "Okay, chief of staff, this matter is settled. Without the order of the commander-in-chief, no one is allowed to go to the ammunition depot to collect ammunition." "Medicine", otherwise it will be dealt with by military law...>

He saw the chief of staff with a frustrated expression in front of him.The major general and brigade commander after a short period of contemplation.The conversation changed, and then he said, "However, Chief of Staff, don't worry too much. Although we are under the command of the commander-in-chief, we can't squat here and be slaughtered by others. After all, we are less than three kilometers away. There are also two brigades of little devils stationed in the barracks."

"Once the scale of the military conflict between the two armies expands, I can be sure. The Japanese troops of these two brigades will definitely not just watch us threaten Shenyang City... The order goes on, the brigade headquarters is directly under the guard battalion, and immediately go to the ammunition depot Receive three base numbers of ammunition. Set up defenses around the barracks. Once the Japanese army takes the initiative to attack us, the guard battalion must defend the garrison to the death..."

"Yes, Traveler...>

Although the Northeast Army outside the city foresaw the danger.However, they did not foresee that the danger would come so quickly.It came so violently.

The gunshots that took place in the Shenyang Arsenal just rang out, and the Japanese Kwantung Army secretly detoured to two Northeast Army garrisons.So with fierce artillery fire, he began to attack the Northeast Army's garrison.

Groups of orange-red fireballs produced by the explosion of shells quickly rose from the barracks with the sound of the explosion.The unlucky soldiers of the Northeast Army were either thrown high into the sky by the air waves generated by the shell explosion, or turned into corpses under the harvest of dense fragments produced by the shell explosion.

Under the continuous attack of six mountain cannons from each mountain artillery squadron, in less than 2 minutes, Nuoda's barracks fell into chaos under the artillery fire.

At this moment, the only thing the soldiers of the Northeast Army could do, who had not been ordered to counterattack, was to lie down in the barracks, praying that the shells that would come across the garrison from time to time would not fall by their side.

"Boom...>

From the door of the tent, I saw the scene of a shell explosion tens of meters away, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen lives were harvested.The chief of staff's heart ached like a knife.Facing the brigadier general in front of him, he suggested eagerly: "Brigade, you little devil is really too arrogant. A mountain artillery squadron dares to launch shelling at us so recklessly. I suggest that the brigade headquarter be directly ordered to direct the mountain artillery to attack us." The battalion counterattacks... The little devil only has six mountain cannons. As long as we counterattack, at most two rounds of artillery fire, we can eat the opponent's artillery unit... >

The brigade commander shook his head, and replied firmly: "No, without the commander-in-chief's order, we absolutely cannot launch a counterattack to give the Japanese an excuse to launch a larger-scale attack on us. Order the guard battalion to hold on to it. The gate of the barracks. If the Japanese infantry attacked the barracks, they could only be repelled, and no counterattack could be launched."

Although the commander-in-chief Zhang Xueliang's order must be implemented.However, the major general and brigade commander knew that if the Japanese artillery fire was allowed to ravage his barracks.Hundreds of shells fell, even if the Japanese infantry outside the barracks did not launch an attack, the entire infantry brigade would suffer heavy losses.At that time, the entire infantry brigade, perhaps without the opponent's attack, will collapse due to low morale.

As soon as the chief of staff left the brigade headquarters, the major general and brigade commander hurried to several communication stations that were flashing lights.Facing a communications staff officer, he asked anxiously: "Have you not received the order from the chief..."

"Report to the traveler, there is no reply from the headquarters yet..." the communication staff replied helplessly.

"Damn, what are those people in the headquarters doing? If it drags on, our infantry brigade will be blown up by the little devil's shells... >

"Yes, Traveler...>

After several communication radio stations rang out the clear and crisp report again, the brigadier major general had to wear a complicated expression.Go back to your seat.However, just before my butt was hot.There was a violent explosion that originated in Shenyang City and was completely covered by the explosion of artillery shells in the general camp.Suddenly it reached his ears.

The major general and brigade commander can be sure that such a violent explosion sound has never been experienced since he joined the army, and it is definitely not caused by the explosion of shells.

Since it wasn't the shell that exploded, there was only one possibility, that some arsenal in the city was detonated.

Thinking of the arsenal, the Shenyang Arsenal suddenly appeared in the major general's brigade commander's mind.

As a senior officer of the Northeast Army, the Major General Brigadier is very aware of the importance of the Shenyang Arsenal to the entire Northeast Army.

It can be said.Without the Shenyang Arsenal, the Northeast Army's hundreds of thousands of troops would completely lose their ammunition supplies.Think of the arsenal that might have been in danger, even occupied by the Japanese.Just now, because of Zhang Xueliang's order to "request the troops to exercise restraint", the major general brigade commander who was able to keep calm in the face of the Japanese attack.At this moment, I can no longer calm down the panic in my heart.

Ignoring the shells outside the brigade headquarters that might fall around me at any time, I picked up the binoculars and rushed out.

I don't know if I don't read it.I was shocked when I saw it.

The sky in the direction of the Shenyang Arsenal has been illuminated red by the huge fireball produced by the warehouse explosion.

"No, it's the Shenyang Arsenal, something must have happened to the Arsenal..." The major general's brigade commander whose face suddenly turned pale.Almost roared.

And at this moment, the chief of staff, who had been away for less than 5 minutes, also rushed over with a look of horror.Facing the major general brigadier.Almost desperate, he said: "Traveler, the police station in the city just sent a call for help: the police station is being attacked by hundreds of Japanese troops. It is already in danger... >

For the major general brigade commander, the safety of the police station.He didn't put it in his heart.At this moment, his only worry is the arsenal, that is, the Northeast Army, and of course the future supply of ammunition for his own troops.Hearing that the chief of staff knew the news in the city, the major general brigade commander asked the chief of staff with the last sliver of hope: "Where is the arsenal? How is the situation in the arsenal? What happened to the explosion just now?"

"This..." the chief of staff immediately became hesitant.

The major general and brigade commander with an anxious face said impatiently: "Whatever, just say what you have. At this point, there's nothing else you can't say, say..."

"Yes, Traveler...>

"What...>

The chief of staff affirmed: "Yes, passenger seat...>

On the face of the major general brigadier, there was a desperate and painful expression.Facing the chief of staff in front of him, he muttered to himself: "You little devils, what do they want to do? Don't they know that the Shenyang Arsenal is the lifeblood of our Northeast Army. Without the Arsenal, our Northeast Army's hundreds of thousands of troops would be Will lose the supply of ammunition. Isn't he worried about causing military retaliation from our Kwantung Army's hundreds of thousands of troops?"

Seeing the brigade commander in front of him, still holding a glimmer of hope against the Japanese army.A sneer quickly appeared on the chief of staff's face.Facing the brigadier general, he said with certainty: "Brigade commander, if I guess well, what happened tonight was not an emergency at all, but a premeditated attack by the Japanese Kwantung Army against our Northeast Army." ...>

"The real purpose of the Japanese Kwantung Army is not only for the city of Shenyang, but for the entire three northeastern provinces...>

The major general's brigade commander's face was once again shrouded in shock because of the chief of staff's answer. [

A communications staff officer quickly rushed out of the tent and ran to where the two were.Facing the brigadier general, he reported in his frightened voice: "Brigade, something happened...>

"What did you say...>

After reading it.An exclamation came from the mouth of the major general brigade commander: "You little devils. I really didn't expect their appetite to be so big... Chief of Staff. What are you still doing in a daze? Report the situation to the chief immediately. Our Northeast Army It's not a coward either. Now that the little devils have reached their doorstep, if they don't fight back, the entire three northeastern provinces will really be lost... >

"Yes, Traveler..."

The Northeast Army Headquarters in Beiping, because of the sudden action of the Japanese army in Shenyang, Commander-in-Chief Zhang Xueliang is convening a group of staff.Discuss specific countermeasures for the Northeast Army in the conference room.Of course, talking about the Northeast Army's specific countermeasures is better than discussing the specific appetite of the Japanese army for this operation... >

The dozen or so people headed by Zhang Xueliang haven't discussed a specific result yet.A communications staff officer rushed into the conference room very recklessly, and handed a recently received telegram to Chief of Staff Rong Zhen.

Seeing the terrified face of the communications staff officer, Rong Zhen knew that if it was not an emergency.The communications staff would definitely not rush into the conference room so recklessly.

Sure enough, with a pair of eyes, after quickly scanning the telegram in his hand, Chief of Staff Rong Zhen still had a calm expression just now.It suddenly became pale.At the same time, there was a trace of strong anger in the middle of his pale face.

Chief of Staff Rong Zhen's face suddenly changed.It also made Zhang Xueliang realize that something was wrong.Before Rong Zhen could speak, he asked impatiently: "Chief of Staff, what happened..."

Of course Rong Zhen didn't dare to hide anything about such a big matter.Quickly replied: "Boss, something happened in the Northeast. There are two things in total: First, the Shenyang Arsenal was occupied by the Japanese, and the tens of millions of tons of ammunition we had hoarded in the Shenyang Arsenal for several years were all taken by the Japanese." People get blown up..."

"Secondly, the two main divisions of the Kwantung Army stationed in Ji'an are rapidly attacking Tonghua. So far, the little devils of these two divisions have broken through the two roads deployed by our Kwantung Army east of Tonghua. Defensive line. By dawn at the latest, we can rush to the outside of Tonghua City..."

Commander-in-Chief Zhang Xueliang's face also suddenly turned livid.Clenching his fists tightly, he cursed loudly at the staff in front of him: "You little devil, I, Zhang Xueliang, are at odds with you...>

Facing Zhang Xueliang's anger, the staff quickly became silent.

At this moment, Chief of Staff Rong Zhen said: "Boss, the current situation has clearly shown that the ultimate goal of the Japanese Kwantung Army is definitely not as simple as occupying Shenyang. If my guess is right, their move The ultimate goal is to completely drive our Northeast Army out of the three northeastern provinces...>

"With the loss of the Shenyang arsenal, our Northeast Army's hundreds of thousands of troops will lose follow-up ammunition supplies in the next battle. In the absence of sufficient ammunition supplies, the Japanese Kwantung Army has more than [-] elite troops , you can launch an attack on us without any worries until you win the entire three northeastern provinces."

Zhang Xueliang still had the last sliver of hope, and asked back: "Is the appetite of the Japanese Kwantung Army really that big?"

Seeing Zhang Xueliang's performance, Rong Zhen couldn't help showing an expression of hatred for iron.Thinking of the three northeastern provinces that were about to fall into the hands of the Japanese, Rong Zhen didn't hesitate, and said with a sad face: "Boss, the wolf ambition of the Japanese is well known. Don't hesitate any longer. If you don't give orders, Shenyang City will be destroyed." going to lose...>

"Order, what order...>

Without even thinking about it, Rong Zhen said, "Of course it is an order to order the troops to counterattack immediately. Otherwise, when the Kwantung Army takes Tonghua, not only Shenyang City, but even Changchun will be under the attack of the Japanese Kwantung Army." ..."

With the Shenyang arsenal and thousands of tons of equipment and ammunition in the arsenal, Zhang Xueliang did not have the courage to fight the Kwantung Army.What's more, at this moment, the Northeast Army has lost its arsenal and ammunition supplies.

As soon as Rong Zhen finished speaking, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Zhang Xueliang's face.Facing Rong Zhen in front of him, he asked back: "Counterattack, Chief of Staff, tell me, what will our Northeast Army use to counterattack...>

"Also, the troops have been wiped out, and the Northeast is also lost. What does our Northeast Army have to gain a foothold in the pass? Have you ever thought about the future of our Northeast Army? Is it possible that the Northeast Army's family fortune will be completely buried in my Zhang Xueliang's hands? ..."

At this time, if Chief of Staff Rong Zhen still didn't understand what Zhang Xueliang was thinking, then his role as Chief of Staff would be in vain.

Sure enough, when Rong Zhen's face was slowly covered by pain and despair.The sound of Zhang Xueliang's order began to sound in the conference room: "Chief of Staff, you immediately issue an order to the relevant front-line troops: order the troops to retreat immediately, and prohibit any troops from fighting the Japanese army under any name..."

"In addition, report the situation of the Japanese Kwantung Army's invasion of the three northeastern provinces to the National Government immediately. Please issue a diplomatic protest to the Japanese Government immediately. At the same time, report the atrocities committed by the Japanese Kwantung Army to the League of Nations and ask the League of Nations to give The Japanese pressured the Kwantung Army to immediately withdraw from the three northeastern provinces..."

After the order was issued, Zhang Xueliang knew that although the hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army under his command had been saved, he would definitely end up being called a 'national sinner'.After letting out a long sigh, the whole person, as if all the strength in his body had been drained, leaned on the seat with a dejected expression on his face, without saying a word.

Rong Zhen, who was sitting next to Zhang Xueliang, couldn't help but slander Zhang Xueliang's order.

As a wily man, he is very aware of the fact that 'a weak country has no diplomacy'.When the Northeast Army, and even the entire Republic of China, did not have enough strength, the Japanese Kwantung Army would never spit out the fat that had been eaten in its mouth.As for appealing to the League of Nations, it is even more useless...
