September 18, 1931. This is a day no one can forget. From this day on, the Japanese invaders' iron heels trampled our motherland, bit by bit.
A note: This is a transmigration power fantasy, but parts of it depict events that really happened during that period. The story has heavy and oppressive moments, but it may help readers unfamiliar with that era learn some history. If you don't like it, please leave quietly rather than flame me. Thank you all for your support.
Zhang Xueming was the third son of Zhang Dashuai. Reserved by nature, he never showed his hand and never interfered in the army or government. Zhang Dashuai saw him as the very picture of incompetence, while the ambitious Zhang Xueliang never gave him a second thought.
Late on the night of September 18, just as the Kwantung Army had completed its military preparations and was about to launch a surprise attack, a phone call came from the Fengtian military headquarters: Carry out the non-resistance policy and withdraw the entire army.
Less than five minutes later, another order came from the Fengtian military headquarters: The entire Fengtian Army is to enter the highest state of military alert. Anyone who dares approach a military zone is to be killed on the spot, without asking permission. The command center is to delegate full authority, and units are to fight enemy units directly. Against Japanese forces with superior numbers, use harassment and successive ambushes to slow their advance, buying time and space for the counteroffensive that will annihilate them.
See how he rises to power in this turbulent age and leads the Northeast back to glory.
