When the first batch of planes, including Chen Haihua's Junker transport plane, flew away, Chen Honglu hurried to find Gao Zhihang and Li Jichuan with sweat on his head.

Chen Honglu anxiously reported to Gao Zhihang and Li Jichuan: "Ziheng, Director Li, we still have thirty-six planes that can't fly away, what can we do?" ”

Chen Honglu's words made Gao Zhihang a little unimpressed.

Not to mention that the personnel sent by the Fourth Route Army to study and train at the Northeast Aviation School two years ago worked very hard in the Northeast Aviation School. Moreover, Gao Zhihang, through his previous relationship as an instructor at the Northeast Aviation School, was brought forward by the personnel of the Fourth Route Army's liaison office in Shenyang, and every once in a while, he would "enthusiastically communicate" with the instructors of the aviation school, and the instructors of the aviation school were very attentive to the teaching of the trainees of the Fourth Route Army.

In order to complete this mission, the temporarily additional personnel, when they were in Taiyuan, were also people who had flown more than three types of aircraft, except for the seaplanes of the Northeast Army stationed in Qingdao, and now all the planes in the East Tower, these people can fly. The lack of more than 30 people can be filled by them.

"Is there not enough pilots? The people I brought with me can go up to the top, and it's not an air battle anyway. Gao Zhihang said disapprehantly.

"Captain Chen, if there are not enough pilots, my people can go up to it. It's not an air fight anyway, as long as they can fly the plane away. ”

Chen Honglu knew that Gao Zhihang had misunderstood what he meant, so he hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Ziheng, Director Li, you should come and take a look with me." ”

Chen Honglu's actions made Li Jichuan feel very strange, and after explaining that Zhu Enhai paid attention to leading the military police to help the people brought by Gao Zhihang maintain order on the runway, Li Jichuan also trotted all the way to catch up with Chen Honglu and Gao Zhihang.

The entire Dongta Airport was lit up at this time, and the scene of the entire airport was spectacular. Not only are all the ground crews coming to the airport nervously busy refueling the planes, and then pulling the various planes that are filled with fuel to the end of the runway and waiting to take off.

The workload is so great that even the pilots have joined the ground crew.

This is because even if there is no need to hang up bombs, it is still a very heavy task to fill up the 262 planes that the Northeast Army has spent 10 years collecting in more than two hours, and it is impossible to accomplish it by relying only on ground crews.

In particular, tonight's incident happened suddenly, the ground crew and the pilots went home for the weekend, and the ground crew who could arrive in time was less than two-thirds of the usual. Thanks to Gao Zhihang, more than 200 people from the Fourth Route Army who had been sent to the Northeast Army Air Force to study were brought to the airport in advance.

What made Gao Zhihang feel very strange was that Chen Honglu did not lead them to the hangar, but led them to the maintenance workshop of the aircraft factory on the west side of the headquarters.

The aircraft maintenance hall at Dongta Airport is very large, and it can carry out overhaul and maintenance of ten aircraft at a time. At this time, although the factory was brightly lit, it seemed empty and deserted, except for an aircraft that had not yet installed a tail and was parked in the middle of the plant, only a few ground technicians were nervously packing up some tools that needed to be taken away.

Wait, Gao Zhihang's eyes had already turned away, and he quickly moved to the plane that was obviously not yet assembled, and was attracted by the somewhat peculiar shape of this plane.

This is a new type of aircraft that the Northeast Army has never had before, although it is also a single-seat biplane fighter, but the fuselage is more slender than ordinary fighters. What surprised Gao Zhihang the most was that there was a twin-mounted 20mm cannon with a long barrel hanging from the belly of this aircraft.

Now it is not uncommon for foreign fighters to be loaded with machine guns, and there is a tendency for the caliber to become larger and larger, but it is the first time that it has been seen with such a long barrel. Obviously, the installation of this machine gun on this aircraft is not the pursuit of high power, but the pursuit of range and accuracy. As an excellent fighter pilot, Gao Zhihang obviously understands the importance of these two skills to fighter jets. …,

Gao Zhihang asked Chen Honglu urgently: "Captain Chen, are you talking about this plane?" Aren't there thirty-six? Where are the planes? What model of aircraft is this? ”

Chen Honglu said: "This kind of aircraft is the latest Czech self-produced aircraft that we just bought from the Czech Republic, and the official name of the aircraft is L-11, because its cannon is very special, so it is called a unicorn. This aircraft is fast and agile, even better than our Newburgh-28. ”

"This is the first batch of planes, and it has not yet been assembled, and the remaining thirty-five are in the warehouse over there, and they have not yet been unpacked, and we can't fly these planes. It really doesn't work, do we take all the engines of these planes away, anyway, the bombers of our Flying Tiger Brigade don't carry any bombs, they are loaded into the bomb bay. ”

Although Gao Zhihang was the chief of staff of the Air Force Corps of the Fourth Route Army, his subordinates now only had more than 100 DH-10s that were barely usable against infantry after they had been modified, and more than a dozen old planes that had captured the Jin Sui Army.

The best is the Newburgh-28 of a squadron that Zhang Xueliang gave to Song Zhewu back then, and this squadron of Newburgh-28 has simply become their treasure. At Song Zhewu's repeated requests, and in line with the idea of "always letting people wait for planes, and never letting planes wait for people," he, the so-called commander of the fighter wing, and more than 200 fighter pilots under his command, had no choice but to take turns using these 12 Newcastles for training, so that these 12 Newburgs had more than 2,000 hours longer than the Northeast Army's Newburgh flight time. If it weren't for the Taiyuan Aviation Research Institute that carried out several separate overhauls on them, these planes would have been scrapped long ago.

Now Gao Zhihang is most afraid of seeing the plane, and as soon as he sees the plane, he can't take his eyes off.

Gao Zhihang said excitedly: "No, these planes must all be taken away, they are needed in Beimeng now." If they can't fly away, we will pull them away, and even if we carry them, we will carry them away. Captain Chen, you immediately find someone to disassemble this plane and repack it. ”

Gao Zhihang turned to Li Jichuan and said, "Director Li, this plane, along with those planes in the warehouse, had to be taken away by you. There are more than 60 trucks at the East Tower airport, and you have to gather them all together, except for the planes, and you are loading as much fuel as you can, and then blowing up the ammunition depot and oil depot at the airport, and you can't leave these things to the Japanese. ”

Seeing that there were 36 more planes, Li Jichuan was also very excited, and immediately agreed to go out to find someone to find a car to load supplies and plant explosives.

At half past four in the morning, there was no gunfire in the city of Shenyang, and the Beidaying soon fell silent after the fierce artillery fire broke out again.

At this time, Han Guangdi sent someone to the airport to inform Gao Zhihang and Li Jichuan, 'The 7th Brigade of Beidaying has all been evacuated, and some officers and soldiers of the 620th Regiment and 619th and 621st Regiments of Beidaying have joined the Fourth Route Army; The Huang Xiansheng Police Corps in Shenyang has also withdrawn from the city and is moving in the direction of Xinmin; Qi Xingya has also successfully brought the instructors and students of the Northeast Lecture Hall and the Northeast Aviation School to the arsenal; The weapons and ammunition of the arsenal have also been shipped. Now they are organizing the convoy to retreat north. ’

Han Guangdi also told them that 'the 5th Independent Garrison Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in Tieling has entered Beidaying, and the headquarters of the 2nd Division and the 16th Wing of the Kwantung Army stationed in Liaoyang have reached the south of Shenyang. ’

Gao Zhihang was required to fly away before five o'clock, and all the planes that had not had time to take off should be blown up. The pilots and ground crews who had not been evacuated were evacuated under the leadership of Li Jichuan, and before half past five o'clock, they had to pass through the crossing of the Anfeng Line in Shenbei, where he would leave his troops to meet them. Otherwise, there was a danger of being surrounded by the Japanese army in the area east of Shenyang. ’

At this time, only Gao Zhihang's QJ-2 was left on the airport, as well as Chen Honglu's two squadrons of Newburgh, as well as Chen Honglu's own landline numbered 001 and his two wingmen. In addition, there was a transport plane at the airport Shanghai that did not fly away. …,

At this time, the standard formation of countries in the world in air combat is three mechanisms, that is, one aircraft is the main attack, with two wingmen to cover.

The transport plane that did not fly away was the Fokker FXII transport plane, which was given to Zhang Zuolin by the French minister in the early twenties. This is the product of Fokker's aircraft company established in the Netherlands after World War I, and the aircraft was dragged up the runway when it cracked its wings.

At this time, there were three main types of transport aircraft in Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army Air Force, namely Dornier, DoK, Fokker-FXII and Junkers JU-46. Among the transport aircraft of the Northeast Army, the vast majority are JU-46. Among them, the most famous German transport aircraft in World War II, the JU-52, known as Aunt Junker, is its successor.

The damaged plane will definitely not be able to fly away, so it can only be blown up.

Gao Zhihang looked at his watch, estimated it, and thought that the time for all the planes to fly off the ground was about half an hour at most, and in such a short time, it would be difficult for the Japanese army to arrive at the airport for a while and a half.

In view of the tense situation, after Gao Zhihang and Li Jichuan discussed, Li Jichuan immediately led the convoy and ground staff to pedal the car, escorted by the gendarmerie and the airport guard, to the north. After exchanging a few words with Chen Honglu, he immediately got on his QJ-2 and took the lead.

At this time, although the eastern sky has begun to turn white, but the realization in the air is still not good, he must take off first, and the subsequent planes should grasp the position according to the night lights of his plane to prevent them from flying away.

At 5:05 a.m., except for Chen Honglu and his two wingmen, which had not yet taken off, the rest of the planes had already flown into the air, and the huge airport seemed very empty. Chen Honglu nodded at the two wingman pilots, and the three of them took out lighters at the same time and lit the fuse under their feet......
