Just when the Sun Ke government came to power and Nanjing was in a turmoil, the Japanese army outside the pass was stepping up preparations to capture Jinzhou and formulated a two-step combat plan.

The first step was to capture Gou Gangzi to control the traffic lines and gather troops. The 2nd Division was launched from Yingkou and Tianzhuang Taiyan Ying (kou) Gou (Bangzi) Railway through Panshan and attacked from the east; the 39th Brigade of the Miancheng was attacked from Shenyang and Xinmin along the Shen (Yang) Mountain (Customs) Railway through Dahu Mountain and attacked from the north; the 8th Brigade of the Miancheng followed the Miancheng 39th Brigade and served as the guard of Gou Gangzi to Xinmin.

The second step was to capture Jinzhou. The 20th Division Headquarters and the 38th Brigade of the Mixed (reserved to arrive on the 29th and 30th) and the 39th Brigade of the Mixeded Brigade were attacked; the 2nd Division was a mobile corps and was still under control of the Gou Gangzi and was ready to support at any time.

On December 28, the ready Japanese army began to launch an offensive. Although the Northeast Army and the civilian volunteers along the way had fought back and even used armored trains to bombard the Japanese army, the Japanese ground troops, with the cooperation of their flight team, entered Gougangzi on the 31st, and after controlling the railway and highway traffic lines, they launched their forces and advanced towards Jinzhou.

When the Japanese attacked, the Northeast Army in Jinzhou area did not receive any substantial support from Nanjing, and they were also afraid that the Japanese army would land from Tanggu or Qinhuangdao and cut off the retreat route. In addition, the idea of ​​preserving their strength was caused to retreat to the pass on December 29, 1931. On the morning of January 3, 1932, all the Northeast Army retreated from Jinzhou and gathered in Luanxian area. On the afternoon of the 3rd, the Japanese army occupied Jinzhou.

After the Japanese occupied Jinzhou, they soon occupied other areas in western Liaoning and approached the Great Wall. At this time, although Harbin and other places in the three eastern provinces were still in the hands of the Japanese, and there were still military and civilians fighting against the Japanese, the fall of Jinzhou marked the fall of the entire Northeast.

"No resistance! No resistance! The three northeastern provinces were lost like this. The Japanese are almost at the Great Wall, but they still don't resist!" On January 4, after seeing the news of the fall of Jinzhou published in the newspaper in their residence in Peiping, Zhu Qinglan was so angry that he threw the newspaper aside and said angrily, "He Zhang Xueliang is a sinner of the Chinese nation!"

"Mr. Zhu, it is wrong for Zhang Xueliang to not resist, but I have to say that the root of it is still in Nanjing." Zhao Zhenzhong bent down and packed up the newspapers scattered on the ground, and said, "In the face of foreign invasion, the Nanjing authorities have not given any substantial help to the Northeast Army except to mourn the League of Nations. The troops under the control of the authorities fought against the People's Army in the Northwest at the end of November, and have fought against the CCP in Fujian since December. In this case, how could Rongzhen's group of people still have the intention to fight against the little Japanese?"

The news that Yang Hucheng in the northwest was defeated by the People's Army at the end of November has been known to the public. In late December, Fujian and the CCP forces had another firefight. Even three days before the Japanese army launched an offensive against Jinzhou, the Nanjing authorities faced the Northeast Army's claim that there was no troops to be sent, and also sent planes to bomb Luo Binghui's troops of the CCP in Tingzhou. The Nanjing authorities' courage to fight civil war and fear to the outside world have been strongly criticized by people from all walks of life.

"The 200,000 troops outside the pass must not resist, letting 30 million Northeastern elders fall into the hands of the Japanese army!" Zhu Qinglan was still angry and asked a man in his 40s sitting there, "Wangxi, did you not fire a single shot outside the pass and didn't resist?"

"Dad, I am just a leader of the regiment. The superiors repeatedly ordered not to cause conflicts. How dare I disobey my orders?" Zhu Rong looked helpless. "Many brothers in the regiment couldn't figure it out in anger, so they went into the mountains and pulled up the pole. All I could do was turn a blind eye and pretend that they didn't see it."

"You rebellious son! Is there any reason to not resisting?" Zhu Qinglan grabbed the teacup on the table and was about to throw it at Zhu Rong. Zhao Zhenzhong quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. Zhu, we have tried our best to transfer Brother Wangxi from outside the pass. We have not asked him to go to the northwest to see his sister-in-law. You can't beat and scold him at this time."

In late October, after Zhu Qinglan determined Zhu Rong's location through his old subordinates in Northeast China, Zhao Zhenzhong drew more than 10 capable personnel from the Yimeng Special War Brigade and arrived in Vladivostok in mid-November.

The actions of Ye Sheng and others will be so smooth. In addition to sufficient preparations in advance, it also has a lot to do with the lack of Japanese troops at this time and the unintentional attack on the enemy during this operation.

From the September 18th Incident to the end of November, the Japanese army had not yet made a large increase in troops. In addition to the original Kanto Army, the Japanese army in the northeast had only some Korean troops entering the northeast. These forces could not take care of the vast areas of the three eastern provinces, and the Japanese army was focused on the direction of Jinzhou to the west. I never expected that anyone would pretend to be the Japanese army, which gave Ye Sheng and others an opportunity to take advantage of it. If the Kanto Army was as high as hundreds of thousands and the defense was tight, it would be a little bit worthwhile to see if Ye Sheng and others could sneak in.

When Zhu Rong arrived in Qingdao at the end of December, she was taken to Zhu Qinglan, Peking by Zhao Zhenzhong.

After hearing Zhao Zhenzhong's words, he looked at Zhu Rong's face that was obviously much thinner. He knew that he must have suffered a lot outside the pass. Zhu Qinglan's heart also softened. After glaring at Zhu Rong, he said, "When you have seen Hui Zhong, let's see how I deal with you!"

"Dad, I want to go back to the Northeast." Zhu Rong looked carefully at Zhu Qinglan's face and said, "There are so many brothers waiting for me over there. I can't just leave them alone."

"Brother Wangxi, now the Japanese army has occupied Jinzhou, and the passages inside and outside the pass are controlled by him. How can you go back?" Zhao Zhenzhong opposed, "Besides, the previous rescue operation will definitely make Brother Wangxi register with the Japanese army and investigate it closely, and it will be impossible to get out of the pass at all."

Before Zhu Rong could speak, Zhao Zhenzhong said again: "Since ancient times, wars have been fought with money and food. Even if Brother Wangxi returned to the northeast and found your brother, where did this equipment come from? Where did the food and clothing supply come from? What method should be used to fight with Japanese troops equipped with planes and cannons? Even if Mr. Zhu can raise the supplies needed by Brother Wangxi, how can he transport them to your hands outside the pass? If Brother Wangxi does not consider these questions clearly, even if he goes outside the pass, it will probably be useless. Besides, Brother Wangxi, as a member of the Northeast Army, must report to the person who comes inside the pass. If the superiors do not agree with Brother Wangxi, can you disobey your order?"

Thinking about the difficulties Zhao Zhenzhong mentioned, Zhu Rong felt a little overwhelmed. Before, when he was the regiment commander, he just received supplies on time every month and didn't need to pay attention to these problems at all. But now if he returns to the Northeast to fight under the Japanese blockade, all difficulties in various aspects will definitely not be avoided. Moreover, the Northeast Army in Jinzhou has retreated to the pass. If he goes out again, he may be charged with disobeying orders.

"So as you say, we will watch the three eastern provinces lost, and 30 million elders are under the bayonet of the Japanese army, so don't worry?" Zhu Rong asked with a glaring look.

"In the face of national crisis, we must do our best. We must take care of it." Zhu Qinglan pondered, "But Zhenzhong is right, you must always think carefully. If you lose your money, you will not only lose your life, but also make bad things. Zhenzhong, what are you good ideas?"

"The good idea is not enough. I will only talk about my own simple opinion." Zhao Zhenzhong looked at the father and son in front of him and continued, "Now the Nanjing government and Zhang Xueliang in Peking cannot count on it at all. Therefore, if we really want to do something practical, we can only start in the name of the people. Are there big and small anti-Japanese volunteers in the Northeast now? Mr. Zhu is familiar with people in the Northeast, so he might as well find ways to contact these people, organize them to deal with the Japanese army, food and salary, etc. I will try my best to solve it. As for Brother Wangxi, he will either concentrate on helping Mr. Zhu deal with related matters, or think about retraining the army within the pass to prepare for the future anti-Japanese war."

Zhu Qinglan had an idea in his mind to contact and support various anti-Japanese volunteers outside the pass; out of his previous understanding of Zhao Zhenzhong, he provided food and salary assistance, and Zhu Qinglan was not surprised; but Zhu Zhenzhong's suggestion that Zhu Rong retrain the army within the pass was a little confused.

Seeing that the two were a little confused, Zhao Zhenzhong asked, "Brother Wangxi, you have contacted the Japanese army. According to your understanding, do you think the Northeast Army, which is five times the Japanese army, will be the opponent of the Japanese army?"

After thinking about it carefully, Zhu Rong shook his head and sighed bitterly: "There is not much difference in individual equipment, but we are far inferior to the Japanese army in terms of combat effectiveness. In addition, the opponent has an absolute advantage in heavy weapons. Our 50 people should be able to deal with 10 Japanese soldiers. If 500 people can be at a disadvantage compared to 100 Japanese soldiers, 500 people may be at a disadvantage. 5,000 people are not the opponent of 1,000 Japanese soldiers."

What Zhu Rong said was to raise the Northeast Army. In fact, the reorganized Northeast Army inside the pass was better. The 200,000 troops outside the pass were in the hands of several old brothers of Zhang Zuolin back then. The military discipline and training were relatively poor in all aspects, and many people smoked smoked smoke. It would be strange if such an army could be the opponent of the Japanese army.

Since the Northeast Army, which has relatively high combat power among all domestic forces, can be imagined the other things. Zhao Zhenzhong's statement that Zhu Rong had retrained the troops was understood by the Zhu father and son...
