Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro's troops launched attacks in two groups at the same time towards the south gate and east tower airport of Shenyang. Zhang Xinghan led a platoon of his guard company to the south gate to supervise the battle just in case.

At this time, only a few staff officers and a large number of guards remained in the city defense headquarters located inside the south gate.

In the middle of the night, an American-made Ford sedan suddenly drove up to the gate of the City Defense Headquarters. The guard at the gate immediately came forward to ask. Jin Yufu, who was sitting in the back seat, smiled and took out his identity certificate.

When the guard saw the provincial governor and secretary-general, he quickly saluted and asked: "Secretary-general Jin, what can I do for you?"

"I came to see your Staff Officer Song on the orders of the Governor of Tibet. Is he here?" Jin Yufu said with a smile as before.

The guard did not doubt that he was there and replied: "Commander Song is at the headquarters. Do you want me to inform him?"

"No need, I'll just go in and find him myself." After saying that, Jin Yufu pushed the door open and got out of the car.

Upon seeing this, the guards quickly stepped aside. Jin Yufu looked around and strode towards the headquarters.

In the headquarters, Song Dexian, the former deputy battalion commander of the Guard Battalion of the Marshal's Mansion, was smoking and chatting with the guard company commander Guo Zhong. Guo Zhong was the former guard platoon leader of the 3rd Battalion and was a close confidant of Zhang Xinghan. Song Dexian had a similar temperament with him. Since he was transferred to the city defense commander The relationship between the department and Guo Zhong has always been very good.

The two of them also served in the security force and had similar experiences and similar personalities, so they felt quite sympathetic to each other.

The reason why Guo Zhong was so close to Song Dexian was, of course, that Zhang Xinghan was not at ease with him and secretly asked Guo Zhong to get closer to him, trying to win over him and facilitate surveillance.

When Jin Yufu strode into the courtyard of the city defense commander, Guo Zhong and Song Dexian discovered him. Guo Zhong did not recognize him, but Song Dexian, who had served as the deputy battalion commander of the Guards Battalion of the Marshal's Mansion, did.

Therefore, before Guo Zhong could say anything, Song Dexian hurriedly greeted him and said, "Secretary-General Wang, why are you here?"

Guo Zhong heard this and had no choice but to step forward and salute without saying a word.

"Haha, Counselor Song, I, the Governor of Fengzang, came to you to discuss something. Do you think it's okay?" Jin Yufu said and looked at Guo Zhong.

Song Dexian didn't think too much, and quickly turned to his side and said, "Secretary-General Jin, please go in and talk."

"Okay." Jin Yufu nodded in agreement and walked towards the war room.

Song Dexian turned around and smiled apologetically at Guo Zhong and said, "Brother Guo, I'm going to discuss something with Secretary-General Jin first. We'll talk later."

"Okay." Guo Zhong did not show any dissatisfaction and nodded in response, but his eyes were fixed on Jin Yufu's back, full of doubts.

Song Dexian patted Guo Zhong on the shoulder gratefully, said no more, turned around and walked in.

After watching Song Dexian enter, Guo Zhong immediately turned around and walked out.

In the war room, after Song Dexian came in, Jin Yufu looked behind him to confirm everyone before whispering: "Commander Song, come here."

"Secretary-General Jin, why did you come to see me this time?" Song Dexian walked over and asked in confusion.

"Commander Song, this is a secret message from the Marshal from Peiping. Take a look." Jin Yufu took out a piece of message from his arms and handed it to Song Dexian mysteriously.

Song Dexian received the telegram with a slightly surprised expression. When he opened it and took a look, his expression suddenly changed. He looked up at Jin Yufu in shock and said, "Secretary-General Jin, is this true? The young marshal wants to arrest Commander Zhang?"

"What bullshit commander? This commander was appointed by Huang Xiansheng. The marshal and the Nanjing government have never acknowledged it. He killed your commander, Battalion Commander Rong Ziheng, and blatantly disobeyed the marshal's orders. He has committed a capital crime. The marshal ordered us To evacuate Shenyang to avoid a greater conflict with the Japanese army, which would lead to an all-out war, Zhang Xinghan and others were extremely foolish in overestimating their own capabilities and trying to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese."

"What does Young Marshal need from me?" Song Dexian asked subconsciously.

"Seize Zhang Xinghan and support the governor of Tibet to take control of the military." Jin Yufu said in a low voice.

"Capture Zhang Xinghan? He is an anti-Japanese hero?!" Song Dexian was struggling and hesitating in his heart.

"Commander Song, don't forget who killed your Battalion Commander Rong and annexed the Guard Battalion. Now he has transferred you to this headquarters as a staff officer without real power. Isn't the purpose of using you up? What does this mean?

It shows that Zhang Xinghan has never trusted you. As long as you help Governor Zang complete the tasks assigned by the young marshal, you will have done a great job. When the guard battalion is reorganized, you must be the battalion commander." Jin Yufu hurriedly said

Profit and inducement.

Song Dexian was a little moved. Indeed, Zhang Xinghan transferred him to the City Defense Headquarters as a combat staff officer. It seemed that he had been promoted, but in fact he had lost his military power. It could be said that he was promoted openly and secretly.

However, thinking of what Zhang Xinghan said when they intercepted them at the west gate last night, Song Dexian hesitated again.

As a soldier, especially as a guard battalion, I am deeply favored by the commander-in-chief and the young commander-in-chief. How can I sit back and watch the Japanese seize the territory of our three eastern provinces?

The commander-in-chief's blood feud has not been avenged, so how can you retreat to the pass with peace of mind and live quietly?

What Zhang Xinghan said yesterday kept echoing in his ears. Song Dexian knew that if he took action and arrested Zhang Xinghan, the city of Shenyang would definitely fall, and he would become a sinner through the ages.

Seeing Song Dexian's hesitation, Jin Yufu became anxious and immediately shouted in a low voice: "Commander Song, do you want to disobey the Young Marshal's order? Don't forget how much kindness the Young Marshal and the Marshal have to you."

Song Dexian frowned even more. What Jin Yufu said was true. The Zhang family and his son were indeed very kind to all the officers and soldiers of the Guard Battalion, including him.

Although there is an element of shrouding people's hearts, they are indeed treated well.

After much hesitation, Song Dexian abandoned the idea of ​​putting national justice first and chose the so-called loyalty and repayment of gratitude. He said to Jin Yufu: "Please ask Secretary-General Jin to tell the governor of Tibet that Song will follow the order."

"Okay, when do you plan to take action? Can you mobilize some troops from this headquarters?" Jin Yufu asked happily.

Unexpectedly, Song Dexian shook his head helplessly and said: "The city defense commander's garrison is controlled by that man just now. He is Zhang Xinghan's confidant. Without his order, no one can mobilize any soldiers."

"That will be difficult. You can't handle it alone." Jin Yufu frowned.

"Secretary-General Jin, aren't Governor Tibet going to take over the military power of the Shenyang City Defense Army?" Song Dexian said.

"Yeah, but you have to control Zhang Xinghan first." Jin Yufu said without thinking.

"In this way, when you and the Governor of Tibet bring people to the headquarters, I will take the opportunity to control Zhang Xinghan and force him to hand over his military power. The Governor of Tibet will take over directly." Song Dexian thought for a while and said, "Do you think this will work?"

"We are definitely coming to the headquarters, but can we control Zhang Xinghan alone? If anything goes wrong, we will be completely ruined." Jin Yufu said with some worry.

"Secretary-General Jin, please rest assured. Song has been practicing martial arts for many years. No one in the entire guard camp is his opponent. I am confident enough to subdue and control Zhang Xinghan." Song Dexian said with confidence. In fact, his skills are indeed amazing.
