Chapter 25: The Bloody Lonely City (6)

"What? Xinmin lost? Zhang Xinghan's face changed greatly, and then he was happy again, Xinmin was lost, and the only way for the military and civilians in Shenyang to retreat was cut off, so Wang Yizhe's Seventh Brigade of Reading Power did not need to evacuate, and could stay in Shenyang.

"Yes." Xiao Lizi nodded.

Zhang Xinghan looked back at what Wang Yizhe wanted to say, but Wang Yizhe asked Xiao Lizi: "How many troops are there to attack Xinmin?" ”

"This lowly position is not clear, the defenders have been defeated, and there is no way to know." Xiao Lizi said with a guilty face.

"Oh." Wang Yizhe frowned and pondered for a while, and then said: "You just said that the army is a cavalry attacking Xinmin, right?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Lizi nodded again.

"Hmph, the little devil's forces are too scattered, and they have suffered defeats in Beidaying and Shenyang, and they dare to attack Xinmin, cut off my back road, and vainly try to eat all the troops of our army in the Shenyang area in one bite, and their appetite is really not small, and they are not afraid of breaking their teeth." Wang Yizhe said angrily.

"Uncle Wang, what are you going to do?" Zhang Xinghan asked anxiously.

"What else can I do? Taking advantage of the fact that the army had just descended from Xinmin and had not yet gained a stable foothold, the troops attacked Xinmin, broke the encirclement of the army, and retreated to Jinzhou. Wang Yizhe said without thinking.

Zhang Xinghan was speechless for a moment, it turned out that in Wang Yizhe's mind, he didn't think about continuing to hold on to Shenyang City at all, or that he didn't have any hope at all, and there was Zhang Xueliang's order to go up again, and retreating to Jinzhou was already preconceived in his mind, forming a fixed thinking, unless special circumstances occurred, it was difficult to change.

"Uncle Wang, now that Xinmin has been invaded by Yukou, the road to Jinzhou has been cut off, and it is dangerous to forcibly break through, I don't think it is as good as you to take Xinmin's occupation and have no way to retreat as a reason, and lead your troops to stay and Xinghan to stick to Shenyang together." Zhang Xinghan persuaded without giving up.

"No way!" Wang Yizhe didn't think about it and immediately refused, and said: "Time is pressing, I must immediately go back and command the troops to attack Xinmin quickly, and open the road to Jinzhou before the reinforcements arrive, if possible, I will leave a force in Xinmin waiting to meet you, take care of your life!" ”

"Yes! Uncle Wang, take care! Zhang Xinghan knew that he couldn't force it, so he immediately stood up and saluted.

Everyone has everyone's choices and ideas, Wang Yizhe's choice to evacuate according to orders, and it is also his choice to stick to Shenyang, in some respects, this is not wrong, because everyone has the right to choose.

………………………………………………

As soon as Wang Yizhe left on the front foot, Liu Jianguo, Liu Guodong, Wang Yicai and others walked in one after another.

After saluting, Wang Yicai and the three stepped forward and asked, "Commander, how is it?" What are General Wang's plans? ”

"The army has captured Xinmin, and the brigade will lead the troops to attack Xinmin, break through the encirclement of the army, and evacuate to Jinzhou." Zhang Xinghan finished finishing his mood and asked, "How is it, how are the things I handed over to you done?" ”

"Everything is going well, Gao Zhihang has been brought." Wang Yicai was the first to answer.

"All the students of the lecture hall have all entered the city, and they are currently on standby at the former police station." Liu Jianguo replied.

"Good! Where is Gao Zhihang? Zhang Xinghan nodded excitedly and asked.

"Right outside the headquarters." Wang Yicai replied.

"Invite him in, no, I'll meet him myself." After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the outside of the headquarters, Liu Jianguo and the others looked at each other in surprise, and they hurriedly followed.

At the headquarters, Gao Zhihang was pacing back and forth in a major uniform with the Air Force logo, looking up at the headquarters from time to time.

Suddenly, a young officer of the same age as himself stepped out and took the lead, followed by two colleagues who went to inform him, Gao Zhihang saw this, and hurriedly stopped, straightened his chest and looked at Zhang Xinghan without squinting.

As for the approach, Zhang Xinghan stood up and saluted Gao Zhihang in front of him with a standard military salute, and introduced himself: "Zhang Xinghan, lieutenant colonel battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment of the 7th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army and acting commander of Fengtian City Defense. ”

Seeing this, Gao Zhihang also hurriedly saluted, and said without humility or arrogance: "The National Revolutionary Army Air Force, the captain of the Northeast Air Force, Gao Zhihang, was ordered to come to report and ask the commander to give instructions!" ”

After the ceremony, Zhang Xinghan smiled heartily: "What year is Major Gao?" ”

"Back to the chief, I was born in 1907." Gao Zhihang replied.

"Oh? In 1907? Zhang Xinghan was quite surprised after hearing this, and asked, "What month?" ”

"May 14." Gao Zhihang replied.

"May 14th? Is there such a coincidence in the world? Zhang Xinghan said with surprise: "Don't hide it from Major Gao, Zhang and you are from the same year and month, but a few years younger than you, I was born on May 20." ”

"Really? That's really a coincidence. Gao Zhihang was also a little surprised.

"Major Gao is a few years older than Zhang, how about I be called a brother?" Zhang Xinghan looked at Gao Zhihang with a serious face.

Gao Zhihang looked at Zhang Xinghan a little flattered, and when he saw that he didn't seem to be joking, he said, "It's an honor." ”

"Then brother, please go in first, and we'll talk again." Zhang Xinghan immediately turned around and gave way.

"Chief Zhang, please." Gao Zhihang also gave in.

Zhang Xinghan laughed, took Gao Zhihang's arm and strode into the headquarters.

After entering the headquarters, Zhang Xinghan directly pulled the confused Gao Zhihang to the battle map hanging on the wall.

On the map, the towns along the South Manchurian Railway, including Yingkou and Sipingdi, are circled by white oil pens representing the Japanese army, and Fengtian City is already surrounded by these Japanese army, which can be seen at a glance from this map.

Pointing to the map, Zhang Xinghan said to Gao Zhihang, who looked puzzled: "Brother Ziheng, you see, the current Fengtian City is just like what I drew on the map, and it is surrounded by the army on three sides, oh, no." ”

Halfway through his words, Zhang Xinghan suddenly paused, turned around and took a colored pen, drew a white circle in Xinmin, and continued: "To be precise, it should be surrounded by the army on all sides, and strategically speaking, Shenyang has become a dead land. ”

Gao Zhihang nodded silently, it is undeniable, what Zhang Xinghan said is right.

"But." Zhang Xinghan suddenly said: "In Xinghan's view, Shenyang is not all dead, because there are still you and me in Shenyang City, and there are thousands of patriotic soldiers. As long as we are united, I am determined to hold the city of Shenyang, and then defeat the Kwantung Army and protect the three northeastern provinces of China. ”

"But I need your full cooperation, brother."

"What does Chief Zhang need Gao Zhihang to do, although he commanded, for the sake of Shenyang City, for the three eastern provinces, and for the thirty million fathers and elders of the three eastern provinces, Ziheng is willing to go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up!" Gao Zhihang said very happily.

Zhang Xinghan looked at the firmness on Gao Zhihang's slightly young face with some emotion, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, Zhang Shaoshuai has hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army, and there are so many talented people and hot-blooded patriots, but he can't make good use of it, otherwise, how dare he look at my three northeastern provinces?

Xinghan hopes that Brother Ziheng can go back and rectify all the fighter pilots in my Shenyang airfield, make all combat preparations, wait for the order to attack at any time, and give Yue Kou the most fierce air strike, and help me hold on to Fengtian City." Zhang Xinghan got straight to the point.

"Please rest assured, sir, Gao Ziheng and all his colleagues in the air force will be ready to attack at any time." Gao Zhihang said without the slightest hesitation.
