"Due to the impact of the war in Shanghai, Director Gao's departure from Europe was a little later than originally planned, and he would stop in Malacca for a while, and once the war was over, he could bring the plane back." Xu Shiying has been learning about Gao Zhihang's process of buying planes in Europe during this time. It was Jiang Li who asked and was able to reply as soon as possible.

Jiang Li nodded, the flight formation that Chen Honglu brought to Shanghai this time was the only air power he could handle. The losses on the plane were nothing, and the death and injury of the pilots at the critical time made him very painful, these pilots were veterans of the battle in Fengtian, but because of the limited number of fighters, their casualties were increased. Even under such circumstances, Chen Honglu and others also achieved the proud record of shooting down 13 Japanese planes. Now only by waiting for Gao Zhihang to return from Europe can he re-pull the aviation power of the 15th Route Army. However, the shortage of pilots has become the biggest shortcoming, but from the news received by Chen Honglu, Nanjing is already beating his crooked idea, since Nanjing has done the first year of junior high school, he can't be blamed for doing fifteen, of course, there are also some pilots under Zhang Xueliang's side.

"I'll tell you a very bad news, we are now evacuating Shanghai." Chen Honglu looked at the remaining pilots in the venue with a tired face and said, more than a dozen air battles of all sizes have been fought, and there are a few less familiar faces from before.

"Why do you want to withdraw, didn't we fight well with the Japanese army, Brigade Commander Jiang of the Fourth Brigade on the ground, the Nineteenth Route Army. None of the Fifth Army in Nanking retreated. Zhang Niansco and other pilots were full of emotion. So far, not only the troops on the ground have already killed the red eye. The same is true for these pilots. Who wants to leave ground troops and evacuate the battlefield while the planes can still take off?

"We shot down thirteen enemy planes before and after, and we are worthy of this eastward journey, this evacuation is not because we are afraid of war, but because the airport is no longer providing us with ammunition and fuel replenishment. Due to the situation, I reported the situation at the airport to the commander, who now ordered us to evacuate. There is no room for us to play in Shanghai now. However, the Japanese invaders in the north occupied Jinzhou, and after defeating the anti-Japanese forces in the northeast, they would inevitably move south, and we would not get much support from Nanjing in the battle in Shanghai, and the north would be our battlefield in the future, and the commander would eventually lead us back to Mukden. Chen Honglu said.

"What? Nanjing didn't even give us ammunition? What did the commander send us to Shanghai for? Defending Shanghai is not also helping Nanjing to defend the eastern gateway, we still don't count the casualties, mixed into the chief of staff of the fourth brigade, the regiment commander died one after another, and the battalion commander below. The company commander took turns. Can't we see Nanjing if we are so desperate? These things don't know what to do! Power traitor misleads the country! ”

Hearing Chen Honglu's words, the pilot Xingxing became even more excited. He almost scolded the leader of Nanjing for misleading the country, and fought with the Japanese army in Mukden in the dark, although he suffered heavy losses, but the Japanese army was by no means happy. If it weren't for the inaction of Nanjing and the young marshal, how could Mukden have easily fallen to the Japanese army, and now it is the inaction of these people, who retreated undefeated, which is undoubtedly a great shame for these pilots who are not afraid of life and death.

However, at this time, after all, it was still on the other party's territory, and under Chen Honglu's strong suppression, it took a while for the pilot's mood to begin to ease down.

"Brother Yu, I, I want to stay." Just as these pilots and ground crews were packing up their things and preparing to leave, Jiang Xingcheng pulled Chen Honglu aside and whispered.

"What? Jiang Xingcheng, did you collect the money from Nanjing? Chen Honglu's tired eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared at the other party and called him by his name.

"Good birds choose trees to perch on, raise fellow brothers, Colonel Wang is right, after all, the northwest is too remote, we pilots have no future in the northwest, it turns out that there are not a few planes left from Fengtian. Even if the commander has a little money in his hand now, how can he compare with Nanjing when he buys some planes and comes back? Besides, if we stay in Nanjing, we will be able to resist the Japanese. Brother Yu's knowledge of air combat is far above mine, why don't you stay in Nanjing with me? In the future, the Nanjing Air Force will inevitably have a place for you and me. Jiang Xingcheng persuaded Chen Honglu and said.

"Have you forgotten how we evacuated from Fengtian City to Gansu in the first place? Forget who is cutting off our ammunition supply now? Although Nanjing has an orthodox name, who is more determined than the commander's position in resisting Japan? The commander did not close his eyes for several days because of the situation in Fengtian, and only took two people to the Second Brigade of Zhang Haipeng Provincial Defense. When the division leader was on the front line several times and led a group of miscellaneous troops in the northeast to fight the Japanese army for several months, where was Nanjing? The commander moved west with hundreds of thousands of refugees from Mukden, did Nanjing provide the slightest help? Even Gansu, Ning, and Qing are not without the meaning of Nanjing to eradicate the Ma Jiajun by the hand of the commander. From the beginning to the end, can Nanjing give us a little support? Now that I saw that our pilots could fight, I wanted to come and pick peaches and poach all the people. You Jiang Xingcheng want to leave the 15th Route Army, I Chen Honglu can't do it, the commander will never abandon hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Fengtian, and I, Chen Honglu, will never leave the commander. Since you, Jiang Xingcheng, have received the benefits of Nanjing, in the future, we will go all the way to the sky and go our own way! I hope that Nanjing will not use the set of suppression of the Communist Party to the 15th Route Army, otherwise you and I will have a day when we will meet each other sooner or later! ”

Jiang Xingcheng hoarsely voiced, wanting to say a few more words of persuasion, but he couldn't say anything. Thinking that the other pilots also looked at him with disdain like Chen Honglu, Jiang Xingcheng's face was embarrassed, and his comrades-in-arms who could trust each other in the past would be strangers in the future, Jiang Xingcheng felt sad for a while, but thinking of the future in Nanjing and the check in his pocket, Jiang Xingcheng felt a little better in his heart, people went to high places, and water flowed to low places.

The plate of the 15th Route Army is already small, and there are several pilots who are not worse than Gao Zhihang and Chen Honglu, what future can he have in the 15th Route Army in the future? Now he is also an ace pilot, which is rare for Nanjing. As long as you can survive from the battlefield, there will always be a time to meet in the future, let time to witness whose choice is right, and the main force of the Anti-Japanese War in the future will inevitably be the Nanjing government. Jiang Xingcheng is looking forward to seeing the remorseful faces of Chen Honglu and these stubborn people in the future. (To be continued.) )
