Itagaki Shoshiro believed that Ishihara was right.
If Zhang Xiaoliu insisted on going against the Rising Sun Empire, it would not just be Fengtian.
Including the battles in Hei and Ji provinces, they shouldn't have gone so smoothly.
However, at the moment, only Fengtian had encountered an accident.
Hei and Ji provinces, as well as the towns along the Manchurian railway, were all taken over by the Empire.
"I now believe that the Manchurian plan may have been known to someone in Mukden in advance.”
"That's why Yan Huang's troops were able to ambush the Rising Sun Empire's troops so accurately.”
"Who took over Fengtian? Who took over the 7th regiment of the northeast camp?”
"Who is the mastermind behind our defeat?”
Ishihara Wanji said with certainty.
However, Ishihara Wanji became even more confused.
The degree of secrecy of the Manchurian plan was not known to the local military and even the emperor before the actual war.
Only the masterminds, Itagaki Shoshiro, Ishihara Wanji, Honjo Shigeru, and Hayashi Nishijurou knew.
When did the guy who controlled Fengtian get the information?
Why was the information so accurate?
"Ishihara-kun, the leaker?"
Staring at Ishihara Wanji, Itagaki Shoshiro said in a deep voice, bewildered.
"The latest information from the Special Higher Police.”
"At 20 o'clock on the 18th, our army launched an all-out attack on Fengtian.”
"But before that, there was a group of at least 3000 fully formed German Mechanic Regiments divided into several teams and stationed at various important locations in Fengtian City.”
"The Fengtian Munitions Factory, the military supplies warehouse, and the marshal's residence were all immediately guarded.”
"That's why the Japanese couldn't take down these places.”
"In addition, the telegrams sent by the 29th Regiment before the jade shattered also showed that.”
"The firepower of the troops they encountered was even above the 29th Regiment.”
"It's obvious that someone knew about our Manchurian plan in advance and made arrangements in advance.”
After a fierce analysis, Ishihara Wanji was more and more certain that the accident in Fengtian was because of a certain person or a certain force.
However, Ishihara Waner didn't know that this matter was all because of the Zhang family's second young master, Zhang Xueming.
"Hmph, no matter what, the Yellow Flame Pig will not stop the Rising Sun Empire's Manchurian plan.”
After being stunned for a moment, Itagaki Shoshiro spoke in a low voice.
In his words, he looked down on Yan Huang.
After all, the Rising Sun Empire had risen rapidly and was undoubtedly the strongest in Asia.
The Rising Sun Empire could even rank in the top 10 in the world.
Yan Huang was a declining country, and it had long lost its peak glory. How could it resist the great Rising Sun Empire?
Even the Russians could only be killed by the warriors of the Rising Sun Empire.
Although there were some twists and turns in the beginning, it was still a pity.
But Itagaki Masashiro believed it.
Fengtian would still be conquered by the Rising Sun Empire in the end. The outcome would not be unexpected!
"Lord Ban Yuan."
"I think that after resting for so long, the army should be able to recover their spirit.”
"The situation is more serious than we thought. The troops have to attack Fengtian as soon as possible.”
"If you don't enter Fengtian, stay in Sujiatun and force the troops in Fengtian City to leave the city to fight to the death with the imperial army.”
Ishihara Wanji made a decision.
"Alright."
Itagaki Shoshiro agreed with Ishihara's decision.
Instead of discussing the changes in Fengtian, it was better to directly advance and push.
Fengtian, Air Force Building.
On the night of September 18th, Feng Yong took control of the Northeast Air Force with Zhang Xueming's orders.
The backbone of the Northeast Air Force, including Gao Zhihang, was placed under house arrest in the conference room of the building. They were not allowed to communicate with the outside world.
The Northeast Air Force was one of the best in Yan Huang and even in Asia.
Even though Zhang Xiaoliu had brought a portion of them into the pass.
However, most of the Northeast Air Force's forces were still in Fengtian.
There were more than 300 elite fighter jets and many capable Air Force pilots.
This was the power that Zhang Xueming was determined to obtain.
For this reason, Feng Yong spared no effort to lobby for Zhang Xueming.
"Young Master Feng, are you serious? The young marshal chose not to resist the Japanese invasion?”
The ace pilot, Liu Cuigang, who was known as the Yan Huang Red Warrior in the future, could not help but speak, his gaze fixed on Feng Yong.
When the other Northeast Air Force members heard this, they also looked at Feng Yong, waiting for his response.
To be honest, no matter what the Northeast Army was like.
At least for the Air Force, both Old Marshal and Zhang Xiaoliu had provided excellent training resources.
Not only did they spend a lot of money to hire professional flying instructors from abroad to teach them, but they also spent a lot of money to recruit professional flying instructors from abroad.
They would also let talented pilots go abroad to further their studies and then serve the country.
Even the fighter jets they piloted were basically purchased from places like Germany and Gaul to connect with the world.
The pay and even the pots and pans were superior.
Raising a pilot was enough to build a full infantry company.
Therefore, if possible, the Northeast Air Force did not want to betray Zhang Xiaoliu.
"Everyone knows about this matter. Zhang Xiaoliu did give up his homeland in the face of the Japanese invasion.”
"But I still value you guys.”
Facing the expectant expressions of Liu Cuigang and the others, Feng Yong spoke bluntly.
"At the beginning of the battle, Zhang Xiaoliu had ordered that the Northeast Air Force could go to Jinzhou.”
"But the Northeast Army in the three northeastern provinces is not allowed to fight the Japanese invaders, no matter what they do or how they treat the people in the northeast.”
" Therefore, such a non-resistance order caused the hundreds of thousands of second-line troops in the three northeastern provinces to be completely defeated within a few hours, with heavy casualties.”
"Currently, only Fengtian, Changchun, and Ha 'er Bing are still in the hands of the Northeast Army.”
"The other cities in the three eastern provinces have basically been occupied by the Japanese invaders.”
Hearing Feng Yong's words, the Northeast Air Force was speechless.
Indeed, Zhang Xiaoliu did not give up on them until the last moment.
However, Zhang Xiaoliu had given up on Northeastern China.
This was unacceptable to the Northeast Air Force.
The northeast was the home that nurtured everyone present. Their relatives, friends, and blood compatriots lived here.
As a soldier, how could he leave Fengtian and take refuge in the pass?
That was a shameful coward, a great humiliation.
To a soldier, such humiliation was worse than killing them on the spot.
"The reason why you're under house arrest here is because the Japanese invaders have their eyes on you from the very beginning.”
"Now that the outside is safe, if anyone wishes to seek refuge with Zhang Xiaoliu, the door will be open and no one will stop you.”
Feng Yong looked at the Northeast Air Force and spoke calmly.
To be honest, the Northeast was not lacking pilots for the time being. What they lacked was not enough elite fighter planes.
In 1922, the old marshal advocated the establishment of an academy that specialized in training pilots.
In a year, they could train more than 40 talented and capable pilots.
This did not include the people poached from Beiping.
Zhang Xueming could find at least 1000 skilled pilots in Northeast China.
"Young Master Feng, stop joking."
"As soldiers, it is impossible for us to abandon our homes and betray the trust of the people to flee for our lives.”
"We have to stay and fight against the Japanese together!”
Gao Zhihang was the first to express his opinion.
"That's right, Young Master Feng. Fengtian is in danger. We won't leave. We have to stay and fight the Japanese invaders!”
The other Northeast Air Force members also echoed Gao Zhihang.
One had to know that pilots in this era were not from rich families or scholarly families.
He was highly educated and had a deeper love for the country.
He wanted these people to be cowards like Zhang Xiaoliu, abandoning their homes and bloodlines.
Gao Zhihang and the others couldn't do it.
Killing the Japanese invaders and protecting their homeland was the duty of a soldier.
Even if they weren't soldiers, as long as they had a conscience, they would shed their last drop of blood to protect their homeland.
One had to know that there were many patriots in Yan Huang.
Not everyone would not let go of Zhang Xiaoliu.
