After evacuating from the Qinghe battlefield and returning to the vicinity of the ancient tomb, Bai Shujie asked the soldiers to rest in place, and at the same time ordered Qiu Shufen to send a telegram:

"At about 22:20 on the evening of September 18, 1931, the little devil Kwantung Army Hushi ** garrison, Lieutenant Kawamoto Suemori, the leader of the Kawashima squadron wicker lake detachment, led a small detachment to detonate explosives on the southern Manchurian railway section of the Wicker Lake in Mukden and blew up the railway. Then blame the officers and soldiers of the Beida Battalion, and use this as an excuse to launch a surprise attack on our Beida Battalion! The Seventh Brigade of the Northeast Army received an order not to resist, which led to confusion in the morale of the army, and more than 500 officers and soldiers were killed in battle! ”

"The Kawashima Squadron of the Little Devil Tiger Shitai Garrison went south to flank the Beidaying at the same time, and the Second Brigade of the Liaoyang Independent Garrison Headquarters Hirata Yukihiro commanded the north. In the face of the shameless sneak attack of the invaders, the patriotic soldiers and people of Fengtian were not afraid of strong enemies, dared to sacrifice, and spontaneously fought back! Annihilate the little devil Kawashima squadron and Kawamoto undefended squadron, and defeat the independent garrison 5th Brigade and an engineer squadron! More than 800 of our soldiers and civilians died heroically and died for their country! ”

"On the morning of September 19, more than 3,000 people from the Second Cavalry Wing and the First Independent Garrison Brigade of the Little Devils went south from Siping to reinforce Fengtian. Our patriotic army and people stubbornly resisted on the south bank of the Daqing River, fearless of sacrifice, and fought bloody battles. After an hour of fierce fighting, more than 500 little devils were killed! The remnants of the little devils fled and retreated back to Siping, and more than 900 of our soldiers and civilians died heroically! The battle to defend Mukden is in the midst of a fierce battle! ”

"Compatriots across the country: the little devil is bold, and the heart of selflessness will not die! This brazen invasion of my Fengtian, Liaoyang, Siping, and Changchun, its wolf ambitions are clearly revealed! It is hoped that the southern government will put away the traitorous idea of 'preferring to die to imperialism rather than communism', stop the civil war, and jointly fight against the Japanese invaders! Youyan anti-Japanese detachment! ”

Seeing Qiu Shufen go to send a telegram, Hou Zide came over and said: "Detachment leader, according to your statement, our detachment is almost gone!" Attacking the Fifth Brigade, we have sacrificed more than forty brothers, and we have multiplied twenty times to you! Also, in the blocking battle just now, not a single one of us was sacrificed, and you added more than 900 people. Others are reducing their own casualties, but you are infinitely magnifying, weishenme? ”

"Without such bloodshed and sacrifice, the people of the country would not have realized the seriousness of the situation, let alone sobered up!" Bai Shujie smiled and said, "According to the general logic, as you said, our detachment is almost exhausted. Little devils should think the same way, and this is not a bad thing for us. You tell me? ”

"I see! I understand! Hou Zide nodded and said: "Others exaggerate the results of the war in order to invite merit and reward, and to be promoted and make a fortune." We don't want anything, the picture is an affordability. The more the little devils don't take us seriously, the more flexible we are! ”

"Hehe, not bad! You're getting better and better! Bai Shujie smiled: "Zhang Xiang and their first team should be coming over soon, right?" The two of you haven't met yet, so don't laugh at them then. It's just a few words I recognize, and they're all mud legs who haven't read any books! ”

Bai Shujie and Hou Zide sent the sentries twenty kilometers away, and then arranged for the soldiers to take a temporary rest in the dense forest near Hushitai. Everyone didn't rest for two days and two nights, and they were already snoring in the blink of an eye.

At more than two o'clock in the afternoon, the rumbling sound of cannons sounded in Fengtian City, which woke Bai Shujie up. The real battle to defend Mukden has officially begun. However, because of the Youyan anti-Japanese detachment in the north, all the shouts and killings were concentrated in the southeast and southwest of Mukden.

For those ordinary people who miss their homeland, the cannon of the little devils finally made them realize the cruelty of war; As the entire house collapsed and caught fire, it also helped them to make up their minds to retreat. After a short time, groups of people came out of the north gate, and then scattered and fled for their lives.

Bai Shujie hurriedly sent people over to guide them, so that the people could go west as much as possible and enter the Guannei! And told them that the entire northeast will be full of battlefields immediately, and the customs are relatively safe at present.

It wasn't until more than four o'clock in the afternoon that Zhang Xiang led the first team to come slowly.

It turned out that after Zhang Xiang's first brigade received Bai Shujie's second order, Zhang Xiang personally led Duan Zhixian's second battalion and rushed to Dongta Airport. When they cautiously entered the airport, there was no one! All the planes were parked in the hangar, and even the skins were not opened. All the guns and ammunition are locked in the warehouse, and the one that is placed is called a neat one!

It was the first time Zhang Xiang had seen an airplane, and he didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Duan Zhixian had a company under him, all of which came out of the former Northeast Army, and the company commander was called Ji Changnian, so he figured out how to blow up the plane. After the explosives were installed, a soldier ran to Zhang Xiang and said that he had seen the ironclad car!

Zhang Xiang and the others rushed over to take a look, in a separate courtyard, 24 taels of ironclad cars were neatly parked.

"Ji Changnian, have you ever seen this thing?" Zhang Xiang didn't understand himself, so he had to ask others.

"Report to the captain, this is a tank, it's amazing!" Ji Changnian said excitedly: "The third platoon commander of our company, Ma Deyao, went out from here, he may have a way!" ”

Zhang Xiang hurriedly shouted: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and find it! ”

Ma Deyao took his three platoons over to take a look, and said with a smile: "This is a very old tank, that is, the FT-17 tank that the marshal got from the French." On this is a 37mm gun, which should have 237 shells in it. If it is on flat ground, it is still very powerful against infantry. ”

"237 shells? Oh my boy, that's really powerful! Zhang Xiang asked in surprise, "Will you get this guy?" ”

"It's so simple, it's easier than driving a car! All of us in the platoon will! Ma Deyao said with a smile: "Our platoon ran out of here in the first place!" The young marshal spent money to support these guys just to beat his own people. We got tired of it and became deserters. ”

Zhang Xiang immediately asked: "I equip you with all 24 cars, specializing in fighting little devils, do you want to do it?" ”

Ma Deyao smiled and said, "! As long as you fight a little devil, you have to die! However, if you give it all to me, haha, the captain will have to give me a promotion! ”

Zhang Xiang did not hesitate: "You say, as long as you need, I will satisfy you all!" ”

Ma Deyao wrenched his fingers and said, "This is the equipment of this battalion, and you still have to give me a car." At least 8 drivers, 8 cars, specially for me to transport shells and diesel! In addition, I also have to give me two companies of infantry to protect my tanks on the flanks, which was summed up during the battle with Feng Yuxiang. Without the protection of infantry on both flanks, these guys are beaten iron lumps. ”

Zhang Xiang immediately gathered all the officers and men of the second battalion and said loudly: "Pass on my order: the original battalion commander Duan Zhixian and deputy battalion commander Zhao Dayong will be transferred to the brigade headquarters and appointed separately. The second battalion was reorganized on the spot and a tank battalion was formed! Battalion Commander Ma Deyao, Deputy Battalion Commander Ji Changnian, and the rest of the officers come up with a plan and report it to you. Start now! ”

What does it mean to be uneducated? What is nonsense? Zhang Xiang: That's it! Zhang Xiang thought that forming a new army, especially a brand-new jishu class, was similar to selling green onions. An infantry battalion was reorganized on the spot and turned into a tank battalion!

No matter how ridiculous and incredible Zhang Xiang's order is, but the military order is like a mountain, and you can't do it if you don't implement it!

Ji Changnian was promoted, from company commander to deputy battalion commander all of a sudden. But his subordinate Ma Deyao was also promoted, from platoon commander to battalion commander all of a sudden. In the blink of an eye, from a subordinate to a superior.

If this were to be put up now, it would be a mess! But it was different at that time, there was a lot of artillery fire outside, and the fighting was lively. Maybe when, the little devil will fall in love here. Therefore, the upside-down changes in positions are felt by the fighters as normal.

Fortunately, Ma Deyao was very familiar with this place, and after a quick inspection, he met with Ji Changnian and muttered a few words, and the two of them reached an agreement: Anyway, these iron guys must be moved first!

So, Ma Deyao turned his original platoon into a special tank platoon, and all 62 people in it were key protection objects! The first batch of 24 drivers, 24 gunners, and the remaining 14 people formed a makeshift pit crew.

Then the order: the drivers and gunners are automatically grouped, and the vehicles are required to drive out of the warehouse in 30 minutes, and the turret is turned for Lao Tzu! The temporary maintenance team rushed to this warehouse to find various spare parts, ready to be loaded and taken away. Special tools, in particular, must not be left behind.

Then pick up a camp-wide car driver, the more the merrier. Anyway, there are almost two hundred cars at this airfield, and there are also a lot of diesel fuel and shells that need to be transported as soon as possible!

Zuihou identified 71 auto soldiers, and the rest of them loaded all the tank spare parts and tools into the car within half an hour, and then the diesel barrels and artillery shell boxes were also loaded into the car, ready to go.

After this chaotic busyness, the sky was already bright, and the east began to turn red.

To say that the warriors at that time, the spirit was simple! The style is excellent! It can almost be said that there is no rest for a day and a night, and it is still a disrupted battle, but Zuihou has completed the task!

Twenty-four tanks rushed out of the small courtyard with a characteristic roar and stopped on the runway in a very majestic manner. All the cars also drove out, and Ma Deyao let the cars stay away from the scene because he was going to have live-fire training!

Ma Deyao stood on an armored car and gave a loud order: "Target: 1,200 meters ahead, hangar, fire!" ”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

24 tanks fired a salvo and detonated 24 hangars! The earth-shattering explosion made everyone's heads buzz! It is easy to destroy an old airport, but it will be very difficult to build a new airport in the future!

Zhang Xiang saw that this was good, so he let them conduct live-fire training, and my task was completed ahead of schedule! If you knew this was the case, why bother so hard to tie a bomb to an airplane?

Just when Zhang Xiang was proud, the sentry near the airport gate ran over and said, "Report to the captain, there is a team of little devils outside, about a hundred or so people, coming towards the airport!" ”

"Ma Deyao, Ma Deyao!" As soon as Zhang Xiang heard that the little devil was coming, he just tried to see if the tank was good at dealing with the infantry of the little devil: "There is a team of little devils outside the gate, can your tank meet it?" ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
