September 18th, 1931.
The 9/18 incident that shocked both China and foreign countries erupted.
Under Zhang Xiaoliu's orders, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Northeast Army did not fire a single shot and abandoned the four northeastern provinces.
On September 19th, the Japanese army successively occupied important towns such as Fengtian, Siping, and Yingkou.
On September 21st, the 2nd division occupied Ji Province.
On November 19, the Japanese army captured Qiqihar.
On December 25th, the Northeast Army began to retreat from Jinzhou City.
On January 3, the Japanese army merged into the 38th Brigade and occupied Jinzhou.
On January 5th, the main force of the Kwantung Army retreated from Shanhaiguan Pass to the inside of the pass.
Whether it was as a transmigrator or as the second son of the Zhang family, Zhang Xueming felt extremely humiliated.
However, he had just transmigrated for less than a day. What could he do?
After all, he was Zhang Xueming, the second son of the Zhang family, and the younger brother of Zhang Xiaoliu.
He had no real power or fame in the Northeast Army. He was just a playboy.
Who would listen to his orders?
But was he really not going to do anything?
Even if he was the second son of the Zhang family, he would still be able to live a luxurious life in the future.
But he couldn't just watch the Japanese ravage this beautiful land.
At this moment, Zhang Xueming's eyes flashed with a hint of determination.
He had to do something, not to mention that he might not be able to change it.
"I want to get off."
"Second Young Master? What's the matter?"
Zhang Xueming looked at the driver coldly and said in a flat tone,"I don't want to repeat myself."
"Creak!"
As the vehicles stopped, the troops at the back also stopped moving, and it quickly attracted the attention of the convoy in front.
A thin young man in military uniform got out of a luxurious Buick Bridge.
There were three golden triangular arrowheads on his epaulets.
He was the current Northeast Army's Marshal, the Deputy Commander of the Republic of China's Army, Navy, and Air Force, a first-class general of the army, and also his brother, Zhang Xiaoliu.
Looking at Zhang Xueming who got off the car at the same time, Zhang Xiaoliu frowned and came in front of him. He shouted softly,"What's wrong? Was it time to get off the car? Can't you see how many troops are behind us?"
Zhang Xueming looked at the imposing Zhang Xiaoliu and stared at the leader of the Northeast Army.
"Big brother, I won't run anymore. If you want to run, you can run.”
Zhang Xiaoliu's eyes narrowed, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes."What do you mean?"
Zhang Xueming clenched his fists and suppressed the anger in his heart."Commander Father handed the four northeastern provinces and tens of millions of people to you, but you didn't even fire a shot and gave these great rivers and mountains to the East Asian people.
Big Brother was so high-spirited back then, but I didn't expect that he didn't even have the courage to face the Japanese invaders now. He let the people of the country curse us cowards.
Do you know what will happen after the East Asians occupy the northeast?
They will create massacres and slaughter our people.
They would plunder the resources of the northeast endlessly.
They would imprison the people's thoughts and promote their culture until the northeast became their territory.
At that time, you and I will both become sinners in history.
If you want to run, you can run. I'm willing to stay at Shanhaiguan. Even if I'm alone, I'll die on the way.
Tell the East Asian people that we have men in the northeast.
I believe that there will be thousands of me in the future, and they will be like me, charging without hesitation on the road to expel the Japanese invaders. Then, even if I die, I can rest in peace.”
Zhang Xiaoliu was dumbfounded by this shocking speech. He looked at his brother who was suddenly a stranger in disbelief.
Then, he was so angry that his face turned red.
Many of the other soldiers and officers of the Northeast Army who heard this were filled with tears. They were tears of humiliation.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoliu burst into laughter. Then, his face turned cold.
"Good, very good. Zhang Xueming, you are the only man in the entire Northeast Army. Do you think I don't want to resist? But what are we going to do now?
If you don't sit in my position, you don't know how much pressure this is.”
"As long as there's life, there's hope, right?" Zhang Xueming mocked. It seemed that the incident at Zhongdong Road back then had already shattered Big Brother's courage.”
Zhang Xiaoliu angrily pointed at Zhang Xueming.
"Alright, Zhang Xueming, since you're so manly, then you can stay here at Shanhaiguan and fight against the Japanese.
As long as you can guard Shanhai Pass, I will be your commander.”
Then, Zhang Xiaoliu said angrily to the officers and soldiers around him,"And you guys, if you think you're a man, then stay here and let the future generations sing praises for you.”
After saying that, Zhang Xiaoliu looked at his brother coldly and left.
Zhang Xueming's words had already made him want to kill him.
Since that was the case, he would just let him die here at Shanhai Pass.
Ever since he was young, this younger brother of his had been fighting with him for everything. This time, he was completely furious.
Zhang Xueming heaved a sigh of relief as he watched the figure disappear into the distance.
The reason why he said that was because his cheat had suddenly arrived.
He saw the hope of defending Shanhaiguan Pass and recovering the northeast.
Even if he did not hesitate to fall out with this big brother of his.
However, he did not expect to have an unexpected gain.
Many people had heard him say that if he defended Shanhai Pass, he would be the Young Marshal.
Instead of letting the Northeast Army decline in the hands of his big brother, it was better to let him lead the Northeast Army to become stronger and create more glory.
