Chapter 10 The Zhang family father and son make wedding dresses for others

Most have agreed, and some have insisted.

Among them, more than 60 pilots, led by Zhao Wenyi and Gao Zhihang, did not want to flee like this, they wanted to fight.

Zhao Wenyi said: "If we leave like this, I'm sorry for my hometown fathers, I'm sorry for my ancestors, if I don't die tonight, I will go to Datang to find everyone." ”

Gao Zhihang also echoed at this time: "There are more than 200 planes in the base, and there are assembly parts for a hundred French planes that the young marshal just bought from the Czech Republic in the hangar. Nine deaths at night, if we were still alive, we would go to you! ”

Zhang Cheng suddenly smiled: "You are all good, I admire you!" We're going to help you blow up the base, but it's a pity if all these new planes are blown up, because you attack the Japanese at night, and you won't survive unless there's an airfield for you to land. ”

Zhao Wenyi said firmly: "Thank you for your help, you can evacuate quickly after blowing up the airport." You don't have to worry about the rest, we die on our own planes, on the battlefield. ”

Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "We built a field airfield runway in Yingkou, which was originally a backup airfield for the evacuation of the Jihua Fengtian Consulate, and now it just comes in handy." The navigation lights are always on there, and after you have had a good meal of the Japanese devils, I hope you can land there and kill more devils in the future. ”

After speaking, Zhang Cheng glanced at Chen Haihua, and the latter understood and said to Zhao Wenyi and Gao Zhihang: "All the pilots get on the plane and take off, let's go to do the devil together, and then land at Yingkou Airport together!" ”

Chen Haihua was the chief instructor, and his appeal was very strong, and all the pilots immediately agreed. Zhao Wenyi and Gao Zhihang originally wanted to die on the battlefield, so they could only follow Chen Haihua.

After seeing this result, Zhang Cheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he finally completed one of the tasks assigned by Zhang Meng.

Everyone sprang into action, ready-made fighters and bombers were refueled, and then the refueling nozzles were sprayed at hangars, maintenance depots, ammunition depots, and warehouses stocked with parts for a hundred newly purchased aircraft, and the entire East Tower airbase was filled with fuel.

Subsequently, Zhang Cheng and others covered the evacuation of more than 2,000 ground crews, and Chen Haihua led more than 300 pilots to fly 130 fighters and 112 bombers to quickly take off.

Zhao Wenyi and Gao Zhihang flew a plane to strafe the airport and ignited the fuel on the ground, and the entire Dongta Air Base was suddenly in flames.

In fact, it is useless for aircraft to take to the air at night. The bombers were better and could bomb the attacking Japanese. Fighter jets are of little use, as the Japanese Air Force will not come to support until tomorrow morning.

However, Zhao Wenyi and Gao Zhihang and other fighter pilots are very high, they are all excellent cadets who graduated from the Paris Aviation School in France, flying at ultra-low altitude at night, closely guided by the faint firelight, relying on the gunfire of the Japanese army to judge the position of the Japanese army, and then carry out machine gun strafing on the attacking Japanese army.

After half an hour of fighting, Chen Haihua and more than 300 pilots flew less than 250 fighters to complete the bombing and dive-strafing attacks on the Japanese troops in Beidaying and Xiangshang, the eastern city of Shenyang, inflicting at least 600 casualties on the Japanese troops.

As the bombs and machine gun ammunition ran out, Chen Haihua took everyone directly to the direction of Yingkou.

To the west of Yingkou near the seaside wharf, there is a temporary field airfield paved with metal steel plates, which was originally a special equipment for field airfields secretly developed for the Datang Air Force. Metal steel plates can be quickly assembled and disassembled, facilitating the laying of temporary field airfields in any open and flat place, and its maximum load-bearing capacity is up to 10 tons, which can meet the take-off and landing of various bombers and fighters in the thirties.

More than 200 fighters and bombers of the Northeast Army landed one after another under the guidance of navigation lights, and during this period, 11 planes deviated or were damaged off the runway during landing, causing serious injuries to three pilots and minor injuries to 17 pilots.

Fortunately, it was not far from the wharf, and a large number of ships and transport ships were already docked on the wharf, and the wounded were able to be brought on board in time for treatment.

Chen Haihua originally planned to blow up all the planes and then take the others to board the ship to Datang, but Zhang Cheng told him that he had already prepared a transport ship to transport planes.

Chen Haihua, Zhao Wenyi, Gao Zhihang and others looked at each other and smiled bitterly, even outsiders saw the situation in the northeast and prepared everything, but unfortunately they themselves always thought that the Japanese were just scaring them, and they did not expect the Japanese to come and really occupy their homeland.

More than 200 aircraft have been hoisted onto transport ships one after another, these aircraft are the latest French products, including Morana DP3 fighter and Snyder DH5 bomber such as the advanced aircraft of the thirties, because in the 1929 Middle Road incident, most of the old planes of the original Northeast Army were shot down by the Soviet army, these planes were recently bought back by Zhang Xueliang from France, and their combat performance is even better than the F11C and P6E used by the Datang Air Force. So Zhang Cheng was reluctant to blow them all up at all, but tried every means to send them back to Datang.

Aircraft are only secondary, the talent of the Northeast Army is the most important.

By dawn the next day, when the Japanese Kwantung Army occupied Mukden and launched an attack throughout the northeast, the people of the northeast knew about it, the whole Chinese people knew about it, and the whole Shijie people knew about it.

Zhang Xueliang once again reaffirmed the policy of non-resistance in Beiping, and ordered Rong Zhen to set up a garrison area in Jinzhou to collect the various units of the Northeast Army that had been evacuated from various parts of the Northeast.

But a strange thing happened, in the coastal area of Jinzhou, the Tang Empire, under the banner of the International Red Cross, was also collecting the Northeast Army and the fleeing Northeast people from all over the Northeast.

Zhang Cheng followed Zhang Meng's wishes, but all the Northeast Army and refugees who retreated to Guannai showed that they were unwilling to be slaves of the Japanese, and the Tang Empire could accommodate them.

Anyway, Zhang Mengjihua encroached on Fiji, and Fiji's nearly 20,000 square kilometers of land has only a million people, enough to resettle millions of refugees from Northeast China on a large scale.

Zhang Mengyuan Jihua slowly encroached on Fiji in three years, immigrating a million people to Fiji. However, with the early outbreak of 918, Zhang Meng couldn't bear the Northeast refugees, so he temporarily changed his mind and urgently allocated 200 million Tang Yuan for the transfer of Northeast refugees to Fiji for resettlement.

Zhang Meng knew very well that the entry of a large number of Chinese immigrants into Fiji in this way would inevitably cause a violent conflict with the local population of Fiji, and would inevitably affect the relationship between Zhang Meng and the Grand Chief of Latour, but Zhang Meng believed that he was doing all this so that the people of Northeast China could have something to eat and a safe home to stay, which was much better than letting them wander in the next ten years.

Every time Zhang Meng thought about this, he felt that his decision was righteous, so even if the Grand Chief Latour turned his face and even met him with a sword in the future, Zhang Meng did not regret it, he had to do something for his Chinese comrades.

Of course, one of the most important groups among the refugees is the teachers and students evacuated from colleges and universities in Northeast China, as well as the students of the major military academies of the army, navy and air force under the Northeast Army.

By the beginning of December 1931, all the three northeastern provinces had fallen except Jinzhou, during which there were many patriots who rose up to resist the Japanese invading army and shed their blood, but most of the Northeast Army and local governments were disappointed by Zhang Xueliang and the Nationalist government's policy of non-resistance, and they gave up resistance and allowed the Japanese to occupy the three eastern provinces.

In just five months, the Tang Empire successfully transferred 3 million Northeast refugees, accounting for 90% of all refugees from Northeast China. To this end, the Tang Empire temporarily leased more than 60,000 ships of various types from various coastal areas of China to transport these refugees to the refugee areas of Fiji and the Tang Empire itself.

Due to the strong dissatisfaction of Britain, France, the United States and other countries due to Japan's occupation of the three northeastern provinces of China, the Tang Empire carried out the transfer of refugees under the banner of international humanitarian relief, and these ships were not attacked by Japanese naval warships when sailing off the coast of China.

The whole Shijie was applauding the humanitarian spirit of the Tang Empire, and even the central government had to marvel at the huge financial resources of the Tang Empire, which was so much money that there was nowhere to spend it. After Song Meiling returned to China, after secret discussions with Jiang Zhongzheng and other government officials, the importance of the Tang Empire increased unprecedentedly, and this time she immediately issued a public statement to thank the Tang Empire for its help, and even more cheekily lied to the domestic people that this was the result and consensus of Song Meiling's visit to the Tang Empire some time ago.

Zhang Meng was not interested in the government's behavior of putting gold on his face. He is also willing to send this favor, after all, if they offend the national government, they restrict the Chinese population from immigrating overseas, or prevent Zhang Meng from digging into the northeast army, then Zhang Meng can only stare dryly.

Now that both sides take what they need, Zhang Meng doesn't bother to care what they say. Anyway, Zhang Meng had already obtained more than 200,000 urgently needed talents from the three million refugees in the Northeast who were in the Tang Empire. This includes more than 70,000 teachers, scholars, and students from dozens of schools in the three northeastern provinces, and more than 80,000 middle- and lower-level commanders and combat personnel of the army, navy, and air force of the Northeast Army, of which the navy and air force account for the majority. There are 319 pilots in the Air Force, including 112 elite graduates of the Paris Aviation Academy such as Zhao Wenyi and Gao Zhihang, the rest are graduates of the Fengtian Aviation Academy, 5,428 ground staff, 112 instructors of the Fengtian Aviation School, 15,812 cadets from the first to the fifth grade, 1,221 teachers and students of the Fengtian Naval Ship Academy (Qingdao Naval Academy moved back to Fengtian from Shandong with the Fengjun in 1928), and 2,339 officers and soldiers of the Bohai Bay Fleet and the Jiangfang Fleet of the Northeast Navy. 7 old gunboats (later transferred to the Nationalist Government).

Under his influence, Liu Wei, commander of the Fengjun Yingkou Garrison Command, Ji Yun, deputy commander, and the seventh and thirteenth garrison brigades controlled by Wei Yisan, Fan Pujiang, and Liu Zhendong almost all joined the Tang Army, because they were all troops who rebelled against Zhang Zuolin with Guo Songling. After the incident, these generals and the army were reorganized into garrisons.

Zhang Meng knew that the real combat effectiveness in the Northeast Army had to belong to the troops personally trained by Guo Songling, so these generals and troops that Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang rejected became the priority targets of Zhang Meng's recruitment. On the contrary, Zhang Meng, the other Northeast Army who stayed behind, looked down on it.

Since these people were all boarded on the ships and transport ships of the Tang Empire in the name of refugees and left China, neither the Nationalist Government nor Zhang Xueliang personally stopped them. The Nationalist Government was naturally happy to see the Tang Empire do good deeds, because whether it was Jiang Zhongzheng's Central Army or Feng Yuxiang, Han Fuyu and other local armies, they were not willing to absorb the Northeast Army.

And Zhang Xueliang has no Northeast foundation, and his identity suddenly became like a lost dog, and most of the supplies that Jiang Zhongzheng promised to him were seized by Shili in various places, so Zhang Xueliang couldn't even support the hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army in his hands, let alone ask him to feed the other Northeast Army that had retreated, so the Tang Empire also helped Zhang Xueliang solve a big problem. For the sake of the Tang Empire, which has accommodated more than 3 million refugees from Northeast China, Zhang Xueliang knew that he had been dug up, but he endured it.

So, Zhang Meng originally planned to explain to the government and Zhang Xueliang the "helpless" move of 'digging the foot of the wall', but seeing that the government and Zhang Xueliang did not say anything but praised the humanitarian spirit of the Tang Empire, Zhang Meng's saliva that was ready to fight suddenly turned into a hara that was secretly happy.
