    At 1:35 a.m. on November 26, General Muto Nobuyoshi received a telegram from Major General Kanda Masanee who had gone deep into Liaoyang. The general content of the telegram was:

    "This is to report to Your Excellency, Commander Muto, that since our Imperial Army launched a full-scale assault yesterday, the enemy troops have been retreating steadily under the fierce offensive of the Imperial Army who fought bloody battles and looked forward to death. Our Imperial Japanese Army has now completely occupied Liaoyang. Fortunately, my officers and soldiers have lived up to their orders.  At 0:50 this morning, Zhang Xueliang's underground headquarters in Liaoyang was captured. The commander was sitting in the command room where Zhang Xueliang used to be and sent a phone call to the Commander-in-Chief. Zhang Xueliang's troops, who had been severely damaged, had all been defeated and fled to the north of Liaoyang towards Shenyang.  , there are still a few Northeastern Army troops still in fierce battle with our army. Our army's Liaoyang strategy has achieved a complete victory."

    Seeing this telegram, Muto Nobuyoshi suddenly felt his heart open up, and a huge stone fell from his chest. The tight shoulders that had been oppressed by a heavy burden for many days seemed to be relaxed.

    Finally captured this tenacious city!  The group of people were welcomed by Major General Kanda and moved to the former command post of Zhang Xueliang. After looking at the Japanese troops pouring into the city, Muto felt a little relieved that the heavy burden was relieved, but at the same time, he felt an inexplicable feeling of sadness.  Then he laughed at himself and said that he was really too nervous these days.  Now I finally have the confidence to report the results of the Northeast War to Tokyo. The price I have paid is high, but at least I and Tokyo now have a fig leaf to comfort themselves. This is all tacitly understood.  At this time, I should have returned home to "recuperate" decently due to "poor health". The next war should be left to the military and the next commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army to worry about.

    Just after Muto Xinyi Company issued several orders to allow the troops to steadily control the city, the general, who had not had a good rest for more than half a month, had no time to celebrate his "victory" and was about to fall down on the marching couch and take a good rest.  Lieutenant General Ninomiya Haru, who was more cautious, came to report several unexpected phenomena.  That is to say, the Northeastern Army was not so much "defeated and fled" as "orderly fighting and retreating", because after occupying Liaoyang, Lieutenant General Ergong carefully discovered that all the wounded and supplies of the Northeastern Army had been taken away.  , if it was a hasty escape, it would be impossible to be so thoughtful.  "The Northeast Army should have given up on this city on its own initiative." Finally, Lieutenant General Ergong expressed his thoughts.

    Muto Nobuyoshi did not pay much attention to the doubts and worries of Lieutenant General Ninomiya who was a little suspicious. When the battle was inevitable, Zhang Xueliang would certainly do his best to retain more troops to defend the last strategic location in the Northeast -  - Shenyang, so when Liaoyang could no longer hold on, it was not unexpected to give up the city and evacuate while fighting.  The most important thing is that reality has made it clear that the imperial army was the victor in the Battle of Liaoyang. The city is now completely under the control of the imperial army. Now more than one division of the imperial army has entered the city. With such a strong force,  I don¡¯t believe Zhang Xueliang can fight back.  After waving his hand for Lieutenant General Ninomiya to go down, Muto soon fell into a deep sleep.

    At about 3 o'clock in the morning, the area around Wangshuitai, more than ten kilometers north of Liaoyang.

    Several villages and towns in this contiguous area have become an out-and-out large barracks. Soldiers from the 101st Division and 107th Division, the main divisions of the Northeast Army's "retreat", are already crowded here.  The corridors, streets, alleys and other places were densely packed and silently filled with Northeastern officers and soldiers armed with live ammunition.  Behind the officers and soldiers were more than fifty cannons with their muzzles pointed at Liaoyang from various departments. Under the control of the artillerymen, they were all loaded and ready to be fired at any time.

    At this time, the core personnel of the army - Zhang Xueliang, Yu Xuezhong, Rongzhen and others were standing on a protruding rock at the entrance of the village. Several people were observing Liaoyang City with bonfires in the distance through telescopes.  The night breeze blew, fluttering the lapel of Zhang Xueliang's fur coat, which for a moment gave him a somewhat heroic demeanor of "rebuking Fang Qiu and guiding the country."

    ¡°In order to drive away the Japanese invaders, he burned his city to death¡ª¡ª¡± Rong Zhen¡¯s face was full of embarrassing bitterness.

    "Let future generations judge all the merits and demerits!" Yu Xuezhong answered rather boldly.

    Zhang Xueliang looked around at the two capable right-hand men and waved his hands decisively: "As long as I can destroy the Japanese army to the maximum extent, I will not hesitate to cooperate with the devil! Long Yunfeng!"

    Long Yunfeng, deputy commander of the 101st Division, stepped forward and responded: "Yes!"

    "How are you preparing?"

    "Report to the Marshal! There are a total of 135 fire points in the city, and they are all ready! The artillery unit and the air force brigade are also ready!"

    "Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind! How fast is the wind now?"

    "Report, Marshal! The wind speed is now level 7, 8.7 meters per second!" Tan Haidao, the adjutant next to Zhang Xueliang.

    Zhang Xueliang glanced at his watch - 3:27, 3 minutes before the planned start.  Everyone was silent for a while, watching quietlyI deeply feel how cruel war is.  ¡ª¡ªThe above paragraph is excerpted from Section 14 of "The First Fire in the Far East" (page 275)

    "History has been completely changed by me. Although I don't know what will happen in the future or what consequences it will bring, such changes will always make the fate of the Chinese nation better!"  When the outside world was celebrating, Zhang Xueliang, the supreme leader of the entire Northeast, spoke quietly to the huge map of East Asia on the wall in his study.  (To be continued) (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
