After inspecting the main position of Sujiatun, Zhang Xinghan took a jeep and drove north along the east bank of the South Canal.

At this time, the garrison brigade had already temporarily built several pontoon bridges near Niujiatun in the South Canal, for nothing else, just to facilitate the people in the villages and towns east of Shenyang to enter Shenyang.

In order to win the battle to defend Shenyang, Zhang Xinghan had already issued an order yesterday to move the people in the villages outside the city like Shen.

The strong wall clears the wilderness and waits for the army.

Beginning yesterday, nearly 100,000 people in the vast rural areas in the eastern part of Shenyang have been carrying all the supplies that can be eaten and used, carrying all the supplies that can be eaten and used, dragging the old and the young to Shenyang one after another.

Therefore, when Zhang Xinghan came to the vicinity of Niujiatun by car, he could see everywhere the ordinary people who were evacuating their families to Shenyang.

Due to the cover of the cavalry and armored units of the garrison brigade, Gao Zhihang also sent planes to provide early warning cover in the air.

The remaining troops of the Kwantung Army along the South Manchurian Railway did not dare to act rashly, and could only watch the Chinese retreat to Shenyang within a radius of nearly 100 miles on both sides of the railway line.

In the final analysis, the huge Liaoning, which is currently under its control, is the towns along the South Manchurian Railway and some large and small counties along the Bohai Bay.

Its influence radiated no more than ten kilometers on both sides of the South Manchurian Railway.

Of course, the lack of troops is also one of the reasons why the devils along the railway do not dare to take the initiative.

It is precisely in this way that before the arrival of reinforcements, the garrisons along the devil's line can only make every effort to ensure the safety of the railway line, and cannot take the initiative to attack.

Because the devil soldiers clearly knew how important the South Manchurian Railway was to take over the battle to attack Shenyang.

Sitting in the jeep and lighting a cigarette, Zhang Xinghan watched thoughtfully at the evacuees who were crossing the river in an orderly manner while smoking.

After a long time, he flicked the burning cigarette butt away and said to Guo Zhong: "Let's go, go to the airport." ”

Guo Zhong immediately started the jeep, quickly turned around and galloped away towards the road he came.

After a while, Zhang Xinghan took a jeep to the Dongta Airport in the east of the city.

After jumping out of the car, Zhang Xinghan tugged on his military uniform, and strode towards the airport surrounded by Guo Zhong and two guards.

Dozens of soldiers from a garrison platoon guarding outside the airport hurriedly stood up from the fortifications and saluted in unison.

Zhang Xinghan waved his hand at them, and led Guo Zhong and the three straight into the airport.

After two generations of Zhang's father and son, Dongta Airport has been expanded with countless efforts, and is now the leading large-scale military airport in China and even in the whole of Northeast Asia.

There are airstrips composed of smooth and smooth cement pavement, wide and neat aprons, and three-storey airport buildings.

All the state-of-the-art airport facilities of this era, you will find it all here.

On the tarmac, about 100 fighters and bombers of various types were neatly and quietly moored.

On the tarmac, many pilots were gathering around a certain plane in twos and threes to discuss something.

There are also ground crews who are carrying out maintenance on some aircraft.

Zhang Xinghan and the others didn't go far, and Gao Zhihang greeted him with a smile on his face and several subordinates.

"Brigade." Gao Zhihang took the lead in saluting.

"Brother Ziheng, I'll come to the airport to have a look, and I'll discuss something with you by the way." Zhang Xinghan replied.

"Where is the brigade, if there is anything to command." After Gao Zhihang finished speaking, he hurriedly turned sideways and said with a solemn hand: "Please go to the aviation building to rest." ”

Zhang Xinghan nodded, and walked into the conference room of the aviation team surrounded by Gao Zhihang, Guo Zhong and others.

After sitting down, a soldier had already served tea, Zhang Xinghan sat in the first place and took a sip, then looked up and said to Gao Zhihang: "Brother Ziheng, how is the current combat readiness of the air force?" ”

"Our air force has a total of 154 reconnaissance planes and bomber fighters, and all of them are ready for combat." Gao Zhihang stepped forward and replied.

"Where's the ammunition stockpile?" Zhang Xinghan asked.

"The ammunition reserves are quite abundant, however, there is not much aviation fuel left, and we must find a way to solve it, otherwise the aviation fleet will gradually lose its combat capability." Gao Zhihang said worriedly.

"Well, I'll figure it out." Zhang Xinghan nodded, and said clearly: "I don't know the current oil reserves, is it allowed to send bomber groups to carry out large-scale air raids and bombing on the South Manchurian Railway?" ”

"I wonder what kind of strategic goal the brigade wants to achieve?" Gao Zhihang asked without answering.

"I want the entire line of the South Manchurian Railway to be paralyzed except for the Lushun section of Dalian, and it is impossible to repair it and reopen to traffic within a month." Zhang Xinghan said coldly.

Gao Zhihang fell into deep thought, and after a while, he raised his head and said in a firm tone: "Yes, but the brigade, please have to get fuel replenishment within five days, otherwise our fighter group will not be able to participate in the next battle of Shenyang." ”

"I'll give you plenty of fuel in five days." Zhang Xinghan got up and said firmly.

"Alright, please wait for the good news of my air team." Gao Zhihang said confidently.

Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Gao Zhihang and others, then inspected the fighter planes and a group of pilots at the airport, and boosted the morale of the pilots.

Zhang Xinghan left the airport in a jeep and returned to Shenyang.

After returning to his brigade headquarters, Zhang Xinghan came to his bedroom alone, closed the door, and took out the multi-functional watch that he regarded as a treasure.

Skillfully open the watch screen lock, quickly click into that game, and flip through the pages of the production of guns and ammunition, planes, tanks, and artillery.

Zhang Xinghan found the page of military strategic materials in his memory, and was pleasantly surprised to find that this page not only has aviation gasoline required for spiral aircraft, but also aviation kerosene required for jet aircraft.

In this way, I no longer have to worry about oil.

Ecstatic to put away the watch, Zhang Xinghan looked at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock at noon.

After calming down his excitement, he walked out of the bedroom, mounted his war horse tethered to the temporary stable of the headquarters, and headed straight for his home in the east of the city.

For the sake of safety, Guo Zhong sent several guards to follow on horseback.

Zhang Xinghan rode like a fly, and soon crossed Shenyang Street and came to the east of the city, at this moment.

Behind a stall on the right side of the street, two men in strong costumes suddenly and quietly pulled out two mirror boxes and pointed their guns at Zhang Xinghan, who was running towards them.

When Zhang Xinghan rode his horse to get closer, the piercing gunfire rang out in vain.

The gunshots rang out with a loud shout: "Sir, be careful! ”
