Chapter 45: The situation has changed
Later, when he returned to China, Gao Zhihang accidentally broke his leg when the plane landed due to mechanical failure, and after treatment in Nanman Hospital, his leg was slightly bent. In this case, Gao Zhihang went to Harbin Hospital for retreatment, and with great perseverance, the doctor broke the healed leg for treatment. After the injured leg was healed, it was a little shorter than the original, and Gao Zhihang, who had become a kicker, could no longer fly the plane as handily as before.
Just when everyone thought that Gao Zhihang's flying career was coming to an end, Gao Zhihang tried to wear thick heels on his injured foot, and when others were sleeping and resting, he tested it over and over again, experiencing cold winter and scorching heat, and finally Gao Zhihang was successfully debugged, and his flying skills were further improved compared to when his legs were good. With a kick to become the most skilled pilot in the Northeast Air Force, the people around the airport called him a high kick pilot.
"I have heard for a long time that Zhihangzhi is stronger than iron, and I have never met, and it is really better to see than to hear." Gao Zhihang's height is slightly shorter than that of normal people, but his body is very strong due to years of exercise, he has suffered hardships since he was a child, and he has an indomitable and resolute temperament, which can not be felt even from Jiang Li's Huang Xiansheng. Seeing the other party approaching, Huang Xiansheng took the initiative to greet him.
"The Japanese army attacked Fengtian City, Zhihang failed to stand by at the airport, it was really a dereliction of duty of Zhihang, from ten o'clock last night to the present, Fengtian City, Beida Camp was in flames, and the fighting did not stop until after three o'clock in the morning. I heard that the young marshal has issued an order not to resist, I don't know what the attitude of the 7th Brigade is now, and what does Commander Huang think about this matter? Was it to inform the pilots in Mukden so urgently so that we could fly to Jinzhou, or would we be on the front line of resistance to the Japanese army? Gao Zhihang asked in a flat voice.
"The young marshal ordered me to withdraw into the pass, but I am still in Mukden City, I can already explain my attitude, half a month ago, I entered the pass to persuade the young marshal to be vigilant against the Japanese army, but the young marshal did not give a reply, to this day, the young marshal still has certain illusions about the Japanese army, thinking that the Japanese army is just a small fight. In fact, the Japanese army's intention to swallow the three eastern provinces was clearly revealed. An inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, how can the territory of the Republic of China give up the reason, although the young marshal has the grace to promote me, but Fengtian is also the place where I was born and raised, how can I give it lightly, even if the young marshal is blamed for this, I can't care so much, last night's battle, the main force of the 7th Brigade suffered a lot of losses, and now the main force of the Kwantung Army is directly attacking Mukden, so it is natural to want the air force to participate in the war, frustrating the spirit of the Japanese army, I don't know if Zhihang can help our army to defend Fengtian and defend the Northeast. Huang Xiansheng said with emotion.
"This is what Zhihang meant, where you need Commander Huang to invite you, gather the pilots, I will take them back to the airport and be on call at any time." After receiving Huang Xiansheng's reply, Gao Zhihang's frowning brows suddenly relaxed.
"Okay, unite as one, although some people don't want to fight the Japanese army, but Fengtian City must always be defended, so let those of us who are willing to stay fight the Japanese army to the end." Even if blood is sprinkled in the sky, you will die a well-deserved death! Huang Xiansheng laughed loudly, although the national disaster is at the head, there are always people who are willing to throw their heads, spill their blood, and have the courage to die for the country, they can fight side by side with these heroes, no matter how strong the Japanese army is, what is there to fear.
Huang Xiansheng became the highest-ranking person in Fengtian at this time, except for Zhang Haipeng, presided over the overall situation, and made every effort to gather the pilots of Fengtian, Tibetan Shiyi was surprised and delighted after the soldiers of the 7th Brigade recaptured Fengtian City, only people in the suffering knew the preciousness of lost and regained, and with the assistance of Tibetan Shiyi, the order of Fengtian City was restored a few points, and the speed of finding pilots was accelerating. At this time, the 15th Brigade Headquarters led by Rokuro Amano, the 16th Infantry Wing, and the 6th Garrison Brigade stationed in Anshan also rushed to the west of the Hunhe River one after another.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, why did you order a halt? The 29th Infantry Wing and the 2nd Garrison were fighting hard against the Chinese Army, and without support, the plan to capture the northeast would likely have failed. Tian Zhao Ichiki hurried over, he didn't understand why Amano Rokuro had given the order to stop advancing when the situation in Mukden was so tense at this time.
"No, the 29th Wing has all shattered!" Rokuro Amano handed an urgent telegram from Ichiro Tokuzawa, the Japanese consul in Mukden, to Akichichi Tada.
"What? How is this possible, hasn't the top level of China already issued an order not to resist and be afraid, and in such a short period of time, how can the China army continuously eliminate the 29th Wing and the 2nd Garrison Brigade, they have half a division of artillery. Tian Zhao Yimu exclaimed, indeed, as Tian Zhao Yimu said, if the 29th Wing and the 2nd Garrison Brigade were based on the ground, and the infantry and artillery were combined, the entire 7th Brigade would pour out, and it would be difficult to eat these thousands of Japanese troops in a few hours, but the Japanese army was too arrogant and exposed all their weaknesses without worry, the main infantry force was out of touch with the artillery, and the troops were at an absolute disadvantage and divided into several routes.
Historically, the Northeast Army was afraid of Zhang Xueliang's orders and could not resist, and even occasional counterattacks were sporadic gunfire in retreat. It took only a few hours for the unforgiving Japanese army to capture Mukden City, which was a miracle within a miracle.
At this time in this era, because of Jiang Li's instigation, almost the entire 7th Brigade participated in the strangulation of the Japanese army, once the Northeast Army broke out, the Japanese army was insufficient, the troops were divided into routes, and each of the many weaknesses of the infantry artillery was enough to kill. Rokuro Amano guessed some of these reasons. The mood is very low:
"The Northeast Army of Fengtian City has more than 10,000 troops, I now have only one brigade headquarters, an infantry wing, and an incomplete independent garrison brigade, with a strength of just over three thousand, and the previous heavy firepower has been transferred to Fengtian City for this incident, presumably it has been destroyed by the Northeast Army at this time, since it has lost the possibility of quickly taking Fengtian City at this time, whether this war will continue depends on the decision of the division commander, and after a few hours, the division commander will be able to rush to Fengtian, and there is no need to rush for a while, resulting in the loss of our army."
At the same time as Tokuzawa Ichiro sent a telegram to the main force of the Kwantung Army, he also sent a long-distance telegram to Japan.
The dawn time in Japan is slightly earlier than that of Mukden, and at this time, the Prime Minister's Mansion is full of dignitaries, and the incident that broke out in Mukden has obviously touched everyone's nerves.
"Can anyone tell me what is going on, didn't Kenkawa Miji already set off for the Kwantung Army Headquarters, why didn't he stop this accident in time, which led to heavy losses for the Imperial Army in Mukden, a whole infantry wing, an independent garrison brigade collectively shattered, this is the greatest humiliation suffered by the empire since the Russo-Japanese War!"
Inuyang Yi threw the telegram sent by Fengtian on the table and said very angrily, Recently, the soldiers below have become more and more difficult to control, even if he appoints his son-in-law Yoshizawa Kenkichi as foreign minister and controls the foreign affairs that have been influenced by the military department, it cannot change the fact that the military department is becoming more and more powerful, and due to the impact of the world economic crisis, Inuyang Yi's cabinet advocates reducing military spending, which also makes the contradiction between the cabinet and the military department deepen day by day, and at this time Fengtian has such a big mess, It's still caused by soldiers who are not under control, how can Inu Yangyi not be angry.
