Chapter 47 September 18 (1)

In 1931, September 11, 20th year of the Republic of China, Shijiazhuang.

"It's amazing, the Japanese are going to do it!" Zhang Xueliang said with a little nervous locked his brow.

His confidant, Commander He Guozhu, was surprised: "The Japanese really want to take action? They just need to take action for the 'Changchun Wanbaoshan Incident' and 'Nakamura Incident'? Then we should order the Northeast army to prepare as soon as possible."

"You can't do it! You can't do it!"

Zhang Xueliang seemed extremely irritable: "Originally, he was responsible for defending his territory and should resist, but if we fight back, we will not be able to explain clearly in the international community; if we don't fight back, we will fight him as much as possible, and it will be easier to speak in the international league."

The moment he was about to enter the car, he stopped and turned around again:

"I notified my divisions, brigades, and military and political commanders stationed in Northeast China, especially the 7th Independent Brigade stationed in Beidaying and was ordered to guard Fengtian. If an armed conflict occurs, Wang Yizhe's brigade will never resist!"

On September 12, the 7th Independent Brigade of the Northeast Army of Fengtian.

"Reported, the commander of the 620th Regiment Wang Tiehan called again, stationed in the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 620th Regiment of Sayamazuko, Zheng Yong secretly reported that the Japanese may launch a military attack in recent days!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Wang Yizhe looked equally irritable:

"The Nakamura incident is in negotiations with the Oriental people, and Guan Yuheng has been arrested and waiting to be dealt with. The government believes that Japan is an Asian civilized country and will never violate international conventions. The previous propaganda of Japan is just a means of intimidation. We strictly order all departments of our brigade to be incited and will never allow the incitement!"

His chief of staff, Zhao Zhenfan, advised carefully:

"Walking troop, Zheng Yong, as a small company commander, repeatedly reported the attempts of the Eastern people to me. I don't think he has the courage to fabricate such information yet. Do you think he should do it..."

"What does a company commander know?" Wang Yizhe interrupted the Chief of Staff and sighed: "Even if we really want to do something, we can't do anything. This is a telegram from the deputy commander-in-chief."

After receiving the telegram from the brigade commander, Zhao Zhenfan took a quick look. The expression on his face was so complicated. He hesitated for a while and insisted on his opinion:

"Entertainment, although the Deputy Commander-in-Chief's meaning is clear, I am willing to go to Beidaying in person. If something happens there, it will be easy to deal with it..."

Wang Yizhe thought about it and finally nodded with a sigh:

"Okay, I'll be assured when you go, but remember that without my order, even if the Eastern people really launch armed provocations, we must not shoot!"

On the night of September 12, the 620th Regiment of the 7th Independent Brigade.

"Come here, go and tell Zheng Yong immediately. Without my order, no matter whether it is the first or second shot, it will be allowed to fire. This is the death order of the brigade headquarters, the death order!"

"The regiment commander, but the first company has been transferred frequently in recent days and has applied for a large amount of ammunition. I think, even if this order is continued, Zheng Yong may not listen. Do you think he will change the company commander?"

Wang Tiehan sat down dejectedly, his brows tightly locked together, and after a long time, he suddenly stood up again:

"No need, I know what this kid is thinking. What we can't do, maybe he has the courage to do it. I hope he can have good luck..."

As he said that, he slapped the table hard:

"Give it to you, give it to Zheng Yong whatever he wants, open the warehouse of our regiment headquarters and let my guard company send it to him specifically. Damn, I am a coward!"

He walked back and forth in annoyance, suddenly pushed open the door, and another drought thunder sounded outside, causing people's ears to hurt. Perhaps, the sound of cannons will soon come like this thunder...

...

On September 12, at night, the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 620th Regiment.

"The company has ordered the brigade department to severely scold the 1st company for not having any deviant behavior. Otherwise, if we are treated as military law, I think we are still thinking about it?"

"Thinking? I've thought it clearly." Zheng Yong sneered: "The Brigade Department gave me the order directly, and I really respected me. What about the attitude of the regiment headquarters?"

"The regiment headquarters has a relatively indifferent attitude, and there are reprimanding orders, but the company commander of the regiment guard company just called and said that a batch of supplies was being delivered to us overnight."

"How are the preparations for each platoon?"

"My unit has completed all preparations for the battle and can be put into the battle at any time!"

"You said, can we, a small company commander, create miracles?" Zheng Yong threw away the pen in his hand, and said with a bit of sarcastic sarcasm in his words: "There are more than 100,000 people who are not fighting, but we have two hundred people who are fighting with Japanese slaves..."

"Even the seat, now most people in the world call you a crazy person. If you want to be crazy, you must go crazy to the end!"

Zheng Yong smiled and said, "Yes, madman, I am a madman, but if everyone in the Northeast soldiers are madmen, then those Japanese slaves will be the ones who are really driven crazy, you said, right?"

On September 13, Chen Xingya, commander of the Northeast Army's military police, led 20 military policemen to Xing'an Reclamation Area for investigation under the order of Zhang Xueliang.

Rong Zhen, the chief of staff of the Northeast Army, secretly sent someone to take the commander of Guan Yuheng to Shenyang to protect him. Then, the Northeast Army publicly claimed that it had arrested Guan Yuheng, the commander of the Third Reclamation Regiment, and ordered him to wait for disposal.

On September 17, Japanese Minister Shigekimiya issued a statement to China and the foreign countries:

Because of the "Nakamura Incident", it is said that the Japanese army had a mobilization plan, which is all nonsense". This purpose is nothing more than to paralyze the Chinese authorities.

On September 18, just after Chongkong Kura made a statement, Zhang Xueliang, who was in Beijing, arranged a schedule to watch the Peking Opera "The Universe".

At 3 pm on the 18th, after reviewing the defense situation of the 7th Brigade, the brigade commander Wang Yizhe left the brigade headquarters and participated in the flood relief activities held in Fengtian City.

At 6 o'clock, after the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 620th Regiment, all entered the position after a full meal.

On the night of September 18, 1931, the fully armed 1st Company completed its final preparations, and Zheng Yong, the youngest major of the Northeast Army, appeared in the Sashanzuizi position.
