At 11:00 p.m. on September 18, 1931, Kenji Toihara, chief of the Fengtian Secret Service of the Kwantung Army, connected to the hotline of Lushun, and Lieutenant General Honjo Shigeru, commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army, based on Kenji Doihara's intelligence, immediately ordered the main force of the Kwantung Army to quickly assemble at Fengtian Castle in order to quickly control the center of the northeast region.
At 1:20 a.m. on the 19th, a telegram was sent to the 4th Company of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the 2nd Cavalry Company to attack the Chinese defenders in Changchun; the 2nd and 5th Brigades of the Independent Garrison to reinforce Fengtian City; the 3rd Brigade to quickly attack Yingkou; and the 4th Brigade to attack Phoenix City and occupy Andong.
At the same time, he telegraphed Lieutenant General Hayashi Milling, commander of the Japanese Army in Korea, to quickly send troops to reinforce Tohoku and report the situation to the Japanese Military Headquarters in Tokyo, in order to force the Military Department to accept the fait accompli. After doing all this, Honjo smiled triumphantly, paced a few steps in the office, slapped his riding boots with white gloves, put away the smile on his face, took the gold pocket watch out of his jacket pocket, looked at it, and rang the electric bell.
The adjutant immediately pushed the door in and saluted immediately. Lieutenant General straightened his collar and said softly and majestically: "Now at three o'clock, order: Within half an hour, the heavy artillery brigade and the thirteenth infantry regiment will assemble at the railway station to board the train, and at 3:30 a.m. accompany me to reinforce the Fengtian front!" "
"Hay!"
At 3:30 a.m., a military vehicle drove out from the brigade and marched south-east, and Honjo Fan himself pounced on Fengtian. Itagaki had already arranged to hang a large sign of "Kwantung Army Headquarters" in the Toyo Takusho Co., Ltd. building not far from the railway station, vacating the Shenyang Pavilion not far away and preparing offices and accommodations for the staff.
At the same time, Huang Xiansheng, the police chief of Fengtian Province, was shocked to hear of the incident, and resolutely led more than 2,000 police security forces to resist, passing on the order: "Resolutely resist, swear to die and defend the land!" "
Huang Xiansheng rushed to the Sanjing Road Police Station, concentrated the police forces of the Third Branch of the Commercial Port and the South Market Branch to set up roadblocks, and ordered the various detachments of the security forces to enter the temporary positions to block the Japanese army. The sound of gunfire and gunfire intertwined. Several buildings in the city that were hit by Japanese artillery fire burst into flames, the smoke and dust rolled over, screams and shouts of killing were loud, and the smoke of gunfire rose and dissipated. Japanese armored vehicles stormed the first road barrier, and the wounded military police withdrew to the front line of the Sanjing Street Police Station, and the number of dead and wounded increased.
Suddenly, a wounded Japanese soldier, with his sleeves torn open and covered in blood and sweat, burst out of the alley and shouted, "Director Huang!" ”
Huang Xiansheng was raising his gun to shoot, recognized that it was Sergeant Xiao Wang, who was sent to the North Camp to reconnoiter, and immediately shouted: "Xiao Wang! Xiao Wang suddenly fell to the ground and fainted.
Huang Xiansheng asked the guards to untie the kettle and lift Sergeant Wang's head to feed him a mouthful of water, and Xiao Wang slowly opened his eyes, even cried loudly, and grabbed Huang Xiansheng's hand: "Director, the North Camp is finished!" The brothers of the Seventh Brigade were killed or wounded hundreds, I checked the number of two hundred and ninety corpses, the Japanese had no corpses, and the Seventh Brigade fled to DongShan Tsui... ”
At this moment an armored vehicle rumbled forward.
"Dog Day! Two brothers went up to deliver explosives and knocked out the armored vehicles in front of them", and immediately two soldiers rushed over with yellow explosives bags, and a burst of machine guns rang out, and the two brothers fell in a pool of blood, and then rushed up to two more and fell down again.
Suddenly, there was an explosion, and a fire was set off next to the armored vehicle, and I don't know which wounded soldier pulled the explosive package. Two more armored vehicles and a tank attacked, and Huang Xiansheng saw that there was no way to defend, so he had to withdraw the team into the courtyard of the provincial police station, firmly close the iron door, and arrange a bunker upstairs.
After a day and a night of fierce fighting, the Japanese army had occupied the commercial port area, the big and small West Pass and the East Pass at 6:30, and the unarmed people became the targets of brutal killing, and the blood stained the street market, and the cries were endless. Japanese tanks had appeared at the gate of the police station, and Huang Xiansheng soberly ordered all detachments and sub-bureaus not to disband, and small groups of them went out of the city with weapons and were on standby in Jinzhou through Xinmin. Then disguised as a civilian, he led the guard commander Wu Fei to stay in the city to reconnoiter. What made Huang Xiansheng sad was the central authorities' strict order not to resist, which made it impossible for the Northeast Army to organize a counterattack.
At 10 o'clock on September 19, several divisions of the Kwantung Army and the independent garrison took a joint operation to attack the Dongdaying barracks 20 miles away from Fengtian City, and the Northeast Army and the Students of the Tangwutang were ordered not to resist and retreat without a fight. At 12 noon, the police force was even more difficult to support independently. The whole city of Fengtian had fallen and had no place to stand.
Huang Xiansheng was sullen and embarrassed, and he wanted to see the young marshal and ask what was going on, so he mixed with Wu Fei out of Fengtian Provincial City and headed straight for Xinmin County.
Xinmin is located in Pingchuan, the county town is windy and sandy, the liquor store is still open as usual; three or five scattered soldiers You Yong scolded and grinned, east and west out, one of the purple-faced big men was in tattered clothes, his back was hanging bag, the gun in his hand was also lost, and he walked into a tavern with a red guise, and Huang Xiansheng was very unhappy.
Such a strong man abandoning the city and fleeing is not a deserter or a scum. Huang Xiansheng was determined to punish him, so he gave Wu Feiyi a look and followed up the tavern.
