After settling the issue with the Munitions Factory, Zhang Xueceng ordered his men to install 30,000 Liao Eighteen Styles.
500 Thompson submachine guns and 1500 Bohemian light machine guns.
300 Maxim heavy machine guns and some heavy artillery.
Then, he brought Zang Shiyi back to Fengtian.
"Governor Zang, I've thought about it for a long time. In the end, I've decided to let you resume your original position.
From now on, you are the new governor of Fengtian.
Immediately issue a national disaster decree and recruit all males between the ages of eighteen and forty-five.”
Zhang Xueceng stared at Zang Shiyi seriously.
"We must make it clear to the people that the Japanese intend to occupy the three eastern provinces.
In order to protect themselves and their families, everyone should contribute their own strength.
We, the guards, swear to obey the heavens!
We'll fight to the death with the Japanese!"
"Yes!" Zang Shiyi replied loudly on the spot. Commander! I'll do it immediately!"
Then, he left the garrison headquarters and headed straight for the provincial government.
Ten minutes later, a white notice appeared on the streets of Fengtian.
The words were written clearly in scarlet ink:
'The Japanese are still determined to destroy our Dragon Country. They attacked our northeast on a large scale and threatened to enslave 30 million compatriots.
Today, there is Zhang Xueceng, the successor of the Feng family, who led a thousand troops to resist the Japanese with a weak body and swore to protect Fengtian.
I hope that ambitious young men can join the army and fight alongside me!'
This blood-colored National Disaster Decree instantly attracted the attention of all the villagers in Fengtian.
Countless people were passionate about their country and went to the recruitment office to volunteer.
For a time, young people gathered.
Inside and outside the city, all the conscription points were overcrowded.
Even the workers of the Fengtian Munitions Factory flocked to join the army.
However, all the conscription offices rejected him.
Patriotic passion was good, but their real battlefield should be in the Munitions Factory.
That was where they were needed the most.
Although these workers from the arsenal were far more familiar with firearms than active military personnel.
As long as they joined the army, they would be a high-quality technical soldier.
However, Zhang Xueceng still personally came forward and persuaded them to return to the factory.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would never use this last force.
In less than two hours, the Garrison Guards had recruited tens of thousands of new soldiers.
Most of them were retired soldiers of the Northeast Army.
As long as he recovered from his training, he would be able to join the battle immediately.
What made people dumbfounded was that there were new recruits at the recruitment points of each unit, and even the military police brigade was no exception.
Only Zhu Ziming's plainclothes squad was empty.
Helpless, Zhu Ziming could only complain to Zhang Xueceng.
Zhang Xuezeng personally came forward and asked for more than three hundred people from the Public Security Brigade.
Only by promoting the plainclothes brigade in every street would people be willing to join the plainclothes brigade.
The next day, the Fengtian Guards had recruited nearly 30,000 new soldiers.
This was almost the vast majority of soldiers of the right age in Fengtian City.
In order to quickly form a fighting force, Zhang Xuezeng selected all the retired soldiers.
They quickly replenished Zhou Weiguo's 3rd division.
After all, the Tiger Head Mountain Independent Regiment's will to fight against the Japanese and their combat strength far surpassed the 7th regiment.
The remaining 20,000 recruits were split up to fill up the various units.
In an instant, the number of guards reached more than 50,000.
This did not include Gao Zhihang's air force and the newly established armored regiment.
Among them, Wang Tiehan's 1st division was sent to the northeast of Fengtian by Zhang Xuezong.
There was only the independent 5th Battalion of Japanese soldiers there.
Torturing him was just a matter of minutes.
Tanya's 2nd division was also assigned to the new citizens.
And Mukden formed a corner of the situation, fighting against the small Guandong army.
Of course, Zhou Weiguo's 3rd division was not the only one left in the city.
There was also the reconnaissance regiment and the military police brigade that had already formed combat effectiveness.
In addition, a heavy artillery regiment was formed.
It was equipped with 32 155mm howitzers and three 240mm heavy howitzers.
Two of them were seized from the 29th regiment of the Japanese.
As a qualified leader, Zhang Xueceng could not possibly keep a force that he could not completely control by his side.
As a result, the entire Fengtian had basically completed the change of dynasty.
Everything was ready, waiting for the Japanese to attack.
At the same time, the Japanese gradually quickened their pace.
After the cavalry took down the lighthouse, they quickly advanced into Sujiatun, intending to cut off the attack on the Fengtian garrison.
In order to take down Mukden, Itagaki Seishiro did not hesitate to order the Japanese to garrison the towns along the Nanman railway and gather in the direction of the lighthouse.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Japanese were a little far away and were besieging Changchun.
Ishihara Smile would probably transfer all of them over.
The last defeat had resulted in the annihilation of the entire 29th regiment.
The small Kwantung Army headquarters was so angry that they were about to explode.
If they couldn't take down Mukden this time, then Honzhuang Shigeru, as the commander, and his two lackeys, Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Kana, would have to commit suicide to appease the emperor.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, all the Japanese gathered at Sujiatun.
The number of people reached nearly ten thousand!
In the command post, Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Smile were very depressed.
According to the latest news from Fengtian, there were two troops heading to Fengxi and Fengdong respectively.
"Ishihara-kun, could these two Dragon Country troops be a smokescreen that Zhang XueCeng released to confuse us?”
Itagaki Seishiro felt that the northeast army's movements were very confusing, so he asked Ishihara, who was beside him.
Logically speaking, the Imperial Army had gathered all their forces to attack Fengtian.
At this critical moment, the first thing Zhang Xueceng should do was to shrink the front line and concentrate his forces to defend Fengtian.
But why did he send two troops?
Moreover, the number of people exceeded 10,000.
Ishihara, who was deep in thought, did not answer immediately. After a few minutes, he said,
"Lord Itagaki, as the largest city in the northeast, Fengtian is prosperous both in terms of economy and population.
Therefore, they could quickly gather a large number of young and middle-aged laborers.”
"As far as I know, Zhang Xue, the general of the city's garrison, had intentionally concealed himself.
Because he was Zhang Xiaoliu's younger brother, it was possible for him to seize power.
As such, those Northeast Army soldiers who obeyed Zhang Xiaoliu would never listen to him.”
With the combative nature of the Dragon Kingdom people, even if they knew that danger was coming, they would never put a potential threat by their side.
Itagaki Seishiro immediately understood.
Therefore, the soldiers loyal to Zhang Xiaoliu were chased out of the city.
"If that's the case, why don't we attack the Northeast Army?" he hurriedly suggested.
In this way, the strength of the Dragon Country in Fengtian would be weakened.”
"No!"
Ishihara A Smile was shocked by his words.
If they really did that, the Northeastern Army, which should have fled, would definitely turn around.
At that time, they would fight to the death with the Japanese.
Not to mention taking down Fengtian, even whether he could protect himself was a problem.
