Eventually, in a joint request to Emperor Hirohito, Takahashi relented and agreed to issue bonds, but due to the global economic crisis, the amount was limited, and he could only support a small fleet and two divisions for military operations.

Therefore, on February 1, 1932, the Japanese base camp sent the 4th Division to Goryeo to take over the task of the 3rd Division stationed in Goryeo, and then the 3rd Division and the 5th Division would support the Manchurian war, and send two cruisers and three destroyers to support Arthur, respectively the 13,500-ton Nachi heavy cruiser and the 5,000-ton Nake light cruiser.

The support fleet will escort the 5th Division directly to Port Arthur, while the 3rd Division will cross the Yalu River from Sinuiju and cross the Changbai Mountains along the Anbong Railway to attack Mukden!

At this time, those who were also shaken by the glorious results of the Zhenbei Army were also more than 400,000 Northeast Army in North China.

After the Huanggutun Incident in 1928, Zhang Shaoshuai telegraphed the whole country to obey the leadership of the Jinling Central Government, and since then the Northeast has changed banners, and the Northeast Army has established 25 infantry brigades, 6 cavalry brigades and 10 artillery regiments, plus garrison troops totaling more than 400,000 people.

During the Central Plains War in 1930, nine brigades with a total of 100,000 people were dispatched to the Guannai, and then several troops were successively dispatched into the Guan.

Before the September 18 Incident in 1931, the elite infantry and most of the artillery of the Northeast Army were distributed in Pingjin, Hebei, and Chahar, and only 12 infantry brigades and 3 cavalry brigades remained in the Northeast, as well as the three provincial defense brigades with poor equipment, with a total number of 200,000 people.

In other words, more than 10,000 people of the Kwantung Army drove away 200,000 people of the Northeast Army, which was only half of the strength of the Northeast Army, and the main force of the Northeast Army had already been transferred to the Guannai before the September 18 Incident.

And these more than 200,000 people were stationed in the area from Beiping to Shanhaiguan, and these 200,000 people are also what people often say, losing the 200,000 Northeast Army in the three eastern provinces.

However, Zhang Shaomaro followed the Jinling government's policy of non-resistance and transferred all troops into the Guannai, which also aroused the dissatisfaction of all the officers and men of the Northeast Army, and there were quite complaints in their hearts.

Fortunately, when Zhang Dashuai ran a military academy, he threw most of the officers of the Northeast Army into the military academy for training, and when the officers were all trained in military affairs, even if the order was to retreat, they also obeyed the orders of their superiors, and the soldiers could only obey the orders of the commanders, and a large number of them were transferred to the customs, and only a small number of them chose to break away from the Northeast Army and resist the Japanese invasion.

Generals like Li Du, Feng Hai, Ma Shan, petty officers like Chen Zhen and Lin Yongchang, and more nameless heroes!

Shanhaiguan, Beidaihe.

More than 40,000 people from the 7th Brigade, 20th Brigade, and 3rd Cavalry Brigade of the Northeast Army, which were withdrawn from the Northeast, were stationed here.

At this time, in the box of a restaurant called Xinghualou in Beidaihe City, several officers of the Northeast Army were sitting around, and there was wine and meat on the table, but everyone was not in the mood to eat, and there was a gloomy atmosphere in the box.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and a small soldier with a plush mouth walked in and carefully closed the door.

"Brother Tang Yue, I brought the newspaper. The soldier came up behind a handsome officer and pulled out several thick stacks of newspapers from under his clothes.

The officers in the box all seemed to come back to their senses, and you snatched them one by one.

"Ning Lao Liu! Don't rob Lao Tzu, it's all sticky to oil!

"Wu Chengbi, watch it together, watch it together, don't talk about it!

The box suddenly became lively, everyone was looking at the newspaper, and Tang Yue also picked up the last newspaper sent from Beiping in his hand and read it.

These are all newspapers that have been printed in recent days, and they describe several battles fought by the Zhenbei Army in the northeast, especially the defensive battle of Changchun, where Li Du led his army south to Changchun and joined forces with Xue Lin's troops to resist the enemy, as well as the battle report of encircling and annihilating the Second Division and the blitzkrieg of the 19th Division in the south to recover Mukden.

However, the Northeast Army strictly forbade reading these newspapers, and even punished them with military law that shook the morale of the military.

"Tut-tut, the northern army of this town has defeated Fengtian?"

"Ma Shan, they are lucky this time! They have defeated several divisions one after another!"

"Hey! I knew that the little devils were so unbeaten, what did the old men run!"

"I really want to go back...... I really want to go back......"

Everyone was talking, their tones were full of resentment, and some people couldn't help but cry quietly.

As a soldier, when his hometown was invaded, he had to be transferred to the Guannai because of the order of his superiors, and the entire Northeast Army was aggrieved! Not to mention the 200,000 Northeast Army troops who were now stationed in the Beiping-Shanhaiguan area and withdrew from the Northeast!

Tang Yue looked at the big guys, some of these people were officers of the 7th Brigade, some were officers of the 20th Brigade, and some were officers of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, all of whom had complained the most in the Beidaihe barracks recently, and Wu Chengbi, who had the highest rank, was even the commander of the 7th Brigade.

It seemed that sensing Tang Yue's gaze, Wu Chengbi, who was bald and had a little ruffian, looked at Tang Yue and said in a deep voice: "Brother Tang, what do you have to say, there are only brothers here today, there are no superiors and subordinates, out of this door, we only know that we have a drink here!"

Many officers followed Wu Chengbi's words and looked at Tang Yue, the deputy commander of the 20th Brigade and the Second Regiment.

The little soldier behind Tang Yue was a little timid by the gaze of so many officers, but he straightened his chest and stood firmly behind Tang Yue.

Tang Yue, who was playing with a wine glass, smiled lightly: "You may not know, Chen Zhen is my cousin, and when he joined the Northeast Army, he was also sent to my hands by my third aunt after thousands of instructions. "

Everyone was shocked, but they didn't expect that the chief of the general staff of the Zhenbei Army, who was shocked by the first war, turned out to be a member of the 20th Brigade of the Northeast Army, and everyone gradually remembered that they used to occasionally drink wine, and when they had dinners, they did often see Tang Yue with such a person.

Gee.

Many people took a breath of cold air, and their gaze at Tang Yue was no longer simple.

Wu Chengbi seemed to have something to say, but Tang Yue spoke before him: "The Zhenbei Army has already reached the Liaodong Peninsula, and is fighting with the Japanese army in the mountains of the Liaodong Peninsula, the Japanese army relies on the mountains and artillery to resist, they only have more than 30,000 infantry, and the Japanese army can dispatch Japanese divisions and regiments stationed in Korea from the opposite side of the Yalu River at any time to reinforce them!"

Everyone's hearts twisted, the Liaodong Peninsula is mountainous, and the Lushun fortress is impregnable, and if you want to capture Lushun, you have to have at least 100,000 elite soldiers!

"What do you mean?" Wu Chengbi finally couldn't help but scold and asked, "Are you going to betray the young marshal?"

Looking at Wu Chengbi, who was angry this time, the glimmer of hope mentioned in the hearts of the officers sank again......

Since the death of the marshal, they have unswervingly supported the young marshal to take charge of the Northeast Army, and did not let the Central Army and the Japanese army in the south have any opportunity to take advantage of.

Now in front of the officers of the Northeast Army, one is the hometown father, and the other is Enyi and the orders of the central government, they are in a dilemma!

I saw Tang Yue glaring at Wu Chengbi, slowly picking up the wine glass in his hand, drinking it in one gulp, with a hint of anger, and said word by word: "It was the young marshal who betrayed our oath!"
