"What? Xinmin has fallen?" Zhang Xinghan's face changed greatly, and then he felt happy again. Xinmin had fallen, and the only retreat for the soldiers and civilians in Shenyang was cut off. Then Wang Yizhe's 7th Brigade did not need to evacuate and could stay in Shenyang. Already.

"Yes." Xiao Lizi nodded.

Zhang Xinghan looked back to see what Wang Yizhe was about to say, but Wang Yizhe asked Xiao Lizi: "How many Japanese troops are there to attack Xinmin?"

"I don't know about this humble position. The defenders have been defeated, so there is no way to know." Xiao Lizi said with a look of shame.

"Oh." Wang Yizhe frowned and thought for a while, then said: "You just said that the Japanese army was a cavalry attack on the new people, right?"

"Yeah." Xiao Lizi nodded again.

"Hmph, the little devil's troops are already too scattered, and they were defeated in the Beida Camp and Shenyang Company. They dare to attack the Xinmin, cut off my retreat, and try to eat all our troops in the Shenyang area. Their appetite is really not small, and I'm not afraid of chipping my teeth." Wang Yizhe said angrily.

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

"What else can we do? Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army has just invaded Xinmin and has not yet stabilized its footing, attack Xinmin at a rapid rate, break the Japanese encirclement, and retreat to Jinzhou." Wang Yizhe said without thinking.

Zhang Xinghan was speechless. It turned out that in Wang Yizhe's mind, he had never thought about continuing to hold on to Shenyang City, or that he had no hope at all. Moreover, there was Zhang Xueliang's order, and the withdrawal to Jinzhou had already been preconceived in his mind. , forming a fixed mindset that is difficult to change unless special circumstances occur.

"Uncle Wang, now that Xinmin has been occupied by the Japanese invaders, and the road to retreat to Jinzhou has been cut off, forcing a breakout is dangerous and unpredictable. I think it is better for you to use the reason that Xinmin is occupied and has no way to retreat, and lead your troops to stay and Xinghan Let's stick to Shenyang together." Zhang Xinghan persuaded without giving up.

"No!" Wang Yizhe immediately refused without thinking, saying: "Time is tight, I must go back immediately to command the troops to attack Xinmin quickly, and open the way to Jinzhou before the Japanese reinforcements arrive. If possible, I will The Xinmin have left a force waiting to pick you up, please take care of yourself!"

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

Everyone has their own choices and ideas. It was Wang Yizhe's choice to follow the order to evacuate, and it was his choice to stick to Shenyang. In some respects, there is nothing wrong with this, because everyone has the right to choose.

…………………………………………

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

After the salute, Wang Yicai and the other three stepped forward and asked, "Commander, how are you doing? What are General Wang's plans?"

"The Japanese army has captured Xinmin. The brigade leader must lead his troops to attack Xinmin, break through the Japanese siege, and evacuate to Jinzhou." Zhang Xinghan calmed down and asked, "How is it? How are you doing with the things I entrusted to you?" "

"Everything goes well, Gao Zhihang has been brought here." Wang Yicai answered first.

"All the students from the Jiangwu Hall have entered the city and are currently gathered at the former police station on standby." Liu Jianguo replied.

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

"Just outside the headquarters." Wang Yicai replied.

"Invite him in quickly, no, I will greet him personally." After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out of the headquarters. Liu Jianguo and others looked at each other in surprise and followed closely.

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

Suddenly, a young officer who was about the same age as himself took the lead and walked out, followed by two colleagues who had gone to inform him. Upon seeing this, Gao Zhihang stopped quickly, straightened his chest and looked at him intently.

Zhang Xinghan.

When he arrived, Zhang Xinghan stood up straight and saluted Gao Zhihang in front of him with a standard military salute, and introduced himself: "Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Xinghan, 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."

"

Upon seeing this, Gao Zhihang quickly followed suit and saluted, saying in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Gao Zhihang, the major captain of the National Revolutionary Army Air Force and the Northeast Air Force, has been ordered to report here and ask for instructions from the commander!"

After the ceremony, Zhang Xinghan smiled heartily: "Which year is Major Gao in?"

"Sir, I was born in 1907." Gao Zhihang replied.

"Oh? 1907?" Zhang Xinghan asked in surprise: "What month?"

"May 14th." Gao Zhihang replied.

"May 14th? Is there such a coincidence in the world?" Zhang Xinghan said with surprise: "To be fair to Major Gao, Zhang and you are from the same year and the same month, but are a few days younger than you. I am 5

People born on the 20th of the month.”

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

"Major Gao is several days older than Zhang. How about you please allow me to address him as brother?" Zhang Xinghan looked at Gao Zhihang seriously.

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 a great honor."

"Brother Gao, please go in first, and we'll talk later." Zhang Xinghan immediately turned around and gave way to Lu Su.

"Sir Zhang, please." Gao Zhihang also bowed his hands.

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

After walking into the headquarters, Zhang Xinghan directly dragged Gao Zhihang, who was confused, to the battle map hanging on the wall.

On the map, the towns along the South Manchuria Railway, including Yingkou and Siping, are all circled by white oil pens representing the Japanese army. Fengtian City is already surrounded by these Japanese troops, which can be clearly seen from this map.

Pointing to the map, Zhang Xinghan said to Gao Zhihang, who looked confused: "Brother Ziheng, look, Fengtian City is just like what is drawn on my map. It is surrounded by Japanese troops on three sides. Oh, that's not right."

In the middle of speaking, Zhang Xinghan suddenly paused, turned around and took a colored pen, drew a white circle on Xinmin, and continued: "To be precise, it should be surrounded by Japanese troops on all sides. Strategically speaking,

Shenyang has become a dead place."

Gao Zhihang nodded silently, saying that Zhang Xinghan was right.

"But." Zhang Xinghan suddenly said again: "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 unite, I am determined to defend Shenyang.

city, and then defeat the Japanese Kwantung Army and protect our three northeastern provinces."

"But I need your full cooperation, Brother Gao."

"If Chief Zhang needs Gao Zhihang to do anything, just ask him. For the sake of Shenyang City, the three eastern provinces, and the 30 million elders in the three eastern provinces, Zi Heng is willing to go through fire and water without hesitation!" Gao Zhihang said happily.

Zhang Xinghan looked at the determination on Gao Zhihang's still slightly young face with some emotion, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Marshal Zhang has hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops, and there are so many talented people and passionate patriots under his command, but he We can't make good use of it, otherwise, how can a mere Japanese pirate dare to take a serious look at our three northeastern provinces?

"The Japanese army has captured Xinmin and may launch another attack on Shenyang after dawn. Xinghan hopes that Brother Ziheng can go back and rectify all the fighter pilots at the Shenyang Airport, make all combat preparations, and wait for orders to attack at any time to provide the Japanese invaders with The most violent air strike will help me defend Fengtian City." Zhang Xinghan said straight to the point.
