After about an hour or so, all the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion finally received sufficient ammunition and returned to their original position to form a neat queue horizontally and vertically.

Foodies hope that they will never be able to finish their snacks, while prostitutes hope that they can persist and persist and not shoot out bullets so quickly.

As soldiers, especially soldiers in this era, their biggest hope is not how much military pay they have, or whether they can have enough to eat, but that their bullet bags will always be full.

Because only with sufficient ammunition can they win every battle they participate in. Only by winning battles can they survive and have the opportunity to receive military pay and food.

Therefore, after receiving an unprecedented amount of ammunition, all the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion were filled with a sense of happiness.

{Brothers, the Japanese have held frequent military exercises in recent days, and they are also targeted military exercises with us as the imaginary enemy and target. Their sinister intentions are clearly exposed. As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise an army but only one moment to use it. In these troubled times, our soldiers should

Take up the responsibility on your shoulders and defend Fengtian, defend the Northeast, and defend the 30 million elders in the three northeastern provinces!

Because they raised us, and the guns, artillery, and military uniforms and quilts in our hands were all given to us by the folks from the three eastern provinces.

To put it in layman's terms, it's just a sentence. It's natural for soldiers to eat food and fight. We usually eat the common people's food and wear the common people's clothing. What do the common people want? Isn't it just that we hope that we can stand up when foreign enemies invade?

To protect our country?

Therefore, in order to prevent the possible outbreak of war conflicts in the future, I declare that the entire 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment of the 7th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army will immediately enter a state of emergency combat readiness, Level 1 alert, and be ready for battle at any time! Do you understand?}

Zhang Xinghan stood on the rostrum, scanning the officers and soldiers in the audience with his eyes like knives, and said loudly and solemnly, and the last sentence made his voice even more accentuated.

{Understood! Defend Beida Camp to the death! Defend Fengtian City! Defend the three eastern provinces!} More than 700 officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, led by Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Jianguo, responded in unison.

……………………………………………………

At about 10 o'clock in the evening on September 17, the team headquarters of the second brigade of the Japanese Army's ** garrison on the South Manchuria Railway.

The lights in the brigade headquarters were brightly lit, and the commander of the second brigade, Masamoto Shimamoto, was answering the phone with a solemn expression.

The call came from the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Lushun. The callers were not Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Kanji, but the new Kwantung Army Commander Shigeru Honjo, who had served as Zhang Zuolin's military adviser and was very familiar with the situation in Northeast China.

On the other end of the phone, Shigeru Honjo was sitting at his desk, holding the microphone and asking in a serious tone: {Shimamoto-kun, how is the situation over there now?}

{Replying to your Excellency, Commander, our department is conducting military exercises to patrol along the railway in accordance with the plan made in advance.} Shimamoto Masaichi replied sincerely and seriously.

{Didn’t you have any conflict with the Chinese team?} Honjo Shigeru asked. It turns out that although Honjo Shigeru knew that Itagaki Seishiro, Ishihara Kanji and others were planning a conspiracy to control Northeast China by force, he only knew that such a thing was happening. What are the details?

How to implement and progress these are not very clear at present.

That's why he made an escalation call to Masaichi Shimamoto of the 2nd ** Garrison Battalion closest to Beida Camp, trying to learn about the latest developments of the situation.

{Not yet.} Masaichi Shimamoto on the other end of the phone answered truthfully. In fact, Masaichi Shimamoto did not know when he would conflict with the squadron and launch an attack, because he was still waiting for orders.

And this order did not come from Honjo Shige, but from Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro who were rushing to the Fengtian front line.

{Oh.} Honjo Shige hung up the phone.

At the same time, on the railway from Lushun to Fengtian, a train full of Japanese troops was rumbling and speeding towards Shenyang.

In a luxurious suitcase in a car in the middle of the train.

Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Wanji both wore brand-new military uniforms. They sat opposite each other at a small table. In front of them was a combat map of the three eastern provinces. On the map, there were dangerous mountains and rivers and all major transportation routes. Detailed labelling.

If there were any generals of the Northeastern Army here, they would definitely be surprised. The battle map in front of Ishihara Wanji and the others was actually more detailed than the one in the hands of the Northeastern Army themselves.

Staring at the battle map, Ishihara Wanji took a sip from the tea cup in front of him, raised his head and asked: {Itagaki-kun, have you thought about how to implement it specifically?}

{Hmm.} Itagaki Seishiro, who had been staring at the map and frowning in thought, raised his head when he heard this, nodded, and then pointed at the map and said: {Ishihara-kun, please look at it, after careful consideration, I decided that in addition to the **Second Guard Team Attack the Peking Camp, and the 29th Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the 2nd Division to attack outside Fengtian. We should also order other troops to act at the same time. First, the 3rd Brigade of the **Garrison near the entrance of the camp and ** near Phoenix City. The fourth brigade of the garrison should launch an attack on Yingkou, Phoenix City, and Anton at the same time.

Ensure that the towns along the South Manchuria Railway are occupied by our army to facilitate the next phase of operations.

In addition, the main force of the 2nd Brigade of the 2nd Division should rush to Fengtian immediately to reinforce the 29th Infantry Regiment's attack on Fengtian.

The main force of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division, the 2nd Cavalry Regiment directly under the division and the 1st Battalion of the ** garrison should attack Changchun, Erdaogouzi, Nanling and other places at the same time!}

After listening to Itagaki Seishiro's battle plan, Ishihara Wanji nodded with great satisfaction: {Itagaki-kun is indeed an outstanding soldier of the empire, and this battle plan is perfect.}

{Since Ishihara-kun has no objection, let us report the battle plan to Commander Shigeki Honjo. After all, mobilizing other units of the Second Division still requires the Kwantung Army headquarters to issue orders.} Itagaki Seishiro said.

{Okay, but one more thing should be added. In order to cope with the unpredictable situation and quickly and stably occupy the Northeast, General Shigeki Honjo should be asked to quickly request the base camp to send additional reinforcements. At least the North Korean 20th Division must cross the Yalu River as soon as possible.} Ishihara A hint of cunning and gloomy flashed through his narrow eyes.

……………………

At the headquarters of the Second Battalion of the Kwantung Army's ** garrison on the South Manchuria Railway, after finishing the phone call with Commander Shigeru Honjo, Captain Shimamoto Masaichi began to feel impatient.

Because the order had not arrived, Shimamoto was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the team headquarters.

Suddenly, a communications soldier ran in with a hurried look, saluted and reported: {Reporting to Your Excellency, Major, Commander Itagaki is sending an urgent message.}

{Oh? Bring it quickly.} Shimamoto Masaichi stopped and immediately reached out to take the telegram from the communications soldier. He read it hastily. Shimamoto Masaichi's face began to turn red with excitement, and he folded the telegram in his hand. , extremely excited, he ordered the communication soldier: {Go and notify Lieutenant Kawashima to come see me immediately, hurry up!}

{Hai!} The communication soldier quickly bowed his head in response, then turned around and left after being ordered.

After a while, Lieutenant Kawashima, leader of the 3rd Squadron of the 2nd Battalion, strode into the headquarters with his command knife in hand and his head held high.

{Your Majesty, Captain, what are your instructions?} Lieutenant Kawashima stood at attention and saluted.

{Kawashima-kun, you return to Hushitai Barracks immediately, take your troops south along the railway, and advance near Liutiao Lake. At ten o'clock tomorrow night, you must find a way to blow up a section of the railway and blame it on the Chinese soldiers in Beida Camp.

, and then you immediately lead your troops to launch an assault on the North Camp, and I will send other squadrons to support you in time.} Shimamoto Shoichi ordered according to the orders and instructions in Itagaki Seishiro's telegram.

{Hai!} Lieutenant Kawashima's eyes clearly shone with excitement when he heard this. This day is finally coming. As an imperial soldier, he never thinks about attacking the weak and despicable China Army, breaking through the Beida Camp, and capturing

Fengtian City, there are countless gold and silver treasures, guns and ammunition in the city, and there are many beautiful flower girls.

With beautiful longings and fantasies, Lieutenant Kawashima happily accepted the order and left.

…………………………

At the same time that the Japanese troops were secretly conducting frequent mobilizations, the 3rd Battalion of Beida Camp was on the ground.

The lights in Zhang Xinghan's bedroom were still on. In the bedroom, Zhang Xinghan was sitting at the table, writing something on a piece of paper.

In the fortifications of the camp defense area, the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, who had already entered the first level of alert, had increased their vigilance, patrolled in batches, stood guard, and had both bright and dark sentries everywhere. They were ready for all battles.

The night was speechless, time passed, and soon it was dawn. Zhang Xinghan, who had stayed up all night, sorted his writing into three parts with red eyes, and then shouted to the door: {Serviceman!}

{At the camp, the orderlies haven't gotten up yet.} The voice of Xiao Lizi, the communications soldier, came from outside.

{Come in.} Zhang Xinghan said.

{Campus, what’s the matter?} Xiao Lizi walked in quickly and asked.

Zhang Xinghan took out two of the three written things and said to Xiao Lizi: {Xiao Lizi, these are two family letters I wrote to my fiancée Wang Ruoying and my father Zhang Yuxi. Send them back to Fengtian immediately.

Leave it to them.}

{Yes!} Xiao Lizi happily agreed, put away the family letter, and was about to leave.

However, Zhang Xinghan raised his hand to stop him and said: {Wait a moment.}

{Xiao Lizi, I seem to remember you saying that you are the only son of your family, right?} Zhang Xinghan asked.

{Yes, in fact, our family has been a single family for three generations since my grandfather's generation.} Xiao Lizi has no doubt that he told the truth.

{Hmm.} Zhang Xinghan nodded with a calm expression and said: {Let’s do this, after you deliver the letter home, you can stay at my house and don’t go back to Beidaying again.}

{But, the camp seat...} Xiao Lizi looked at Zhang Xinghan with confusion. Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xinghan raised his hand and interrupted: {Stop talking more and execute the order.}

{Yes!} Xiao Lizi immediately stood up and saluted, turned around and strode away.

Time passed minute by minute. In the blink of an eye, on the evening of September 18th, the day left and night fell. The entire Beida Camp was suddenly brightly lit. The officers and soldiers in the camp began to finish training, change guards, and have dinner as usual.

.

In the barracks of the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment, Zhang Xinghan has been sleeping since he sent away Xiao Lizi in the morning. He has not slept all night. He is very tired and needs to catch up on his sleep to replenish his energy to face the fierce battle that follows.

When night fell, Zhang Xinghan woke up and was eating in his bedroom. Since he went to sleep at noon, Zhang Xinghan's meal was equivalent to two usual meals.

After a hearty meal, Zhang Xinghan picked up the helmet, put it on, and strode out of the bedroom.

Outside the barracks, except for the necessary sentries, most of the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion were having dinner. When they saw Zhang Xinghan coming out, the officers and soldiers stood up and saluted.

{Everyone has eaten, hurry up and eat.} Zhang Xinghan waved his hand with a smile, and then said to the deputy battalion commander Liu Jianguo who came up to him: {Jianguo, take a platoon and come with me.}

{Yes!} Liu Jianguo didn't ask any more questions, but stood upright and accepted the order happily.

……………………

Let's talk about Xiao Lizi. He was ordered by Zhang Xinghan to go to Fengtian City to deliver a letter home. Originally, Xiao Lizi planned to deliver the letter written by Zhang Xinghan to his fiancée Wang Ruoying first, and then deliver it to Zhang's father who lived in the east area of ​​the small city.

If everything goes well, Xiao Lizi will be able to complete this mission by noon.

But he never expected that when Xiao Lizi rushed all the way to Wang Ruoying's house, he was informed by the guard that Wang Ruoying had gone to attend a banquet somewhere in the city with his father Wang Yizhe.

In desperation, Xiao Lizi had to go to the east of the city first. However, when Xiao Lizi found the Zhang family residence according to the address, he found that the door was closed. It turned out that Zhang Yuxi and his wife had gone to the banquet together with Wang Yizhe and his daughter.

As a result, Xiao Lizi couldn't find anyone on either side, so he had to sit and wait outside the gate of Zhang's house until dark.

It was ten o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Yuxi and his wife returned by car.

Xiao Lizi, who had been waiting at the door for almost a day, quickly stepped forward to stop the car and shouted anxiously: {Excuse me, are you Zhang Yuxi, Mr. Zhang?}

{It’s me.} Zhang Yu, who was sitting in the car, was delighted to see Xiao Lizi wearing a military uniform and asked doubtfully: {Who are you?}

{Hello, Mr. Zhang, I am Xiao Lizi, a communications soldier at the headquarters of the third battalion of the 620th Regiment, 7th Brigade of the Army. I am here to give you a letter from home on orders from our battalion.} Xiao Lizi took it out of his pocket as he spoke.

Two letters from home, one of which was handed to Zhang Yuxi.

Zhang Yuxi took the letter from home and did not open the card immediately, but said to Xiao Lizi: {You have been waiting here for a day, you should be tired, go inside and have some food.}

Little Plum was indeed hungry and thirsty, so she nodded quickly: {Hey!}

……………………

At the same time, at the Liutiao Lake section of the South Manchuria Railway, which is more than 800 meters away from Beidaying, a Japanese second lieutenant and a dozen Japanese soldiers dragged three corpses wearing Northeastern Army uniforms to the Liutiao Lake section of the railway.

On the railway line.

Three corpses wearing Northeastern Army uniforms were placed on both sides of the railway line, and then the second lieutenant pressed the detonation device that had been installed.

{Boom! Boom!} Two loud noises sounded in vain. The fire caused by the explosion was as bright as fireworks in the dark night, and the loud noise could be clearly heard ten miles away.

In the dazzling fire, a section of railway track and sleepers were blown into the sky, and debris and debris flew everywhere.

In an open space about two kilometers away from the explosion site, Lieutenant Kawashima, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the extremely eye-catching light rising in the sky in the dark night. He was so excited that he immediately pulled out his command knife and shouted: {Despicable

The Chinese dared to blow up our railway. We will never forgive them. Target, Beidaying, kill them!}

More than a hundred Japanese soldiers immediately jumped up and rushed toward the North Camp with rifles in hand.
Chapter completed!
