After Liu Jianguo led the guard company and the main force of the second battalion to rescue Gao Chu's remnants, he quickly used the automatic firepower of the guard company as a cover and began to retreat toward the airport while fighting.

Seishiro Itagaki on the east coast was overjoyed when he saw this. He immediately ordered his troops to pursue immediately and strive to capture Dongta Airport in one go. At the same time, he ordered the more than a thousand feint troops to immediately launch a real attack to support the main force in capturing Dongta Airport.

When Liu Jianguo led his troops to withdraw to the 1st Battalion's position, the main force of the 1st Battalion, which had already been prepared, had already exchanged fire with the Japanese feint attack troops.

Liu Jianguo ordered people to bring Gao Chu into the airport for treatment, while he commanded the second battalion and the security company to launch a defensive attack on the spot.

When the pursuing Japanese troops saw Dongta Airport right in front of them, they all shouted excitedly and rushed towards the defense line without fear of death.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers of the machine gun company of the ** garrison battalion staying at the airport suddenly opened fire, and more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns and several anti-aircraft cannons roared one after another.

The dense rain of bullets immediately enveloped the charging Japanese crowd. In the dark night, wherever the scarlet and dazzling tongues of flames touched, all the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground.

For a time, the Japanese soldiers were wailing all over the place and suffered heavy casualties.

The nearly two thousand Japanese soldiers were blinded by the sudden and intensive firepower. The airport was surrounded by plains and wilderness. Under the intensive firepower of the defenders, they had nowhere to hide.

In just a few minutes, the Japanese troops who had clamored to capture Dongta Airport just now abandoned hundreds of corpses and retreated hastily.

Seeing the opportunity, Liu Jianguo immediately ordered his troops to take advantage of the situation to counterattack. Nearly two thousand officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion, the Guard Company, the Japanese Guard Battalion and the Third Battalion at the airport rushed out of the trenches and fortifications, roaring and launched a pursuit of the Japanese army.

……………………

Outside the airport, after a bloody battle, the defenders were about to win, but inside the airport, Gao Zhihang was in extreme conflict at this moment.

Not long ago, he, like Zang Shiyi, received a secret order from Marshal Zhang from Peiping.

Gao Zhihang did not immediately implement Marshal Zhang's order to withdraw all air force fighters to Jinzhou.

He knew that once he evacuated, Zhang Xinghan's defenders would lose air support and air superiority, and would become more passive. The battle to defend the city would also become much more difficult, and casualties would also increase. This was something he did not want to do.

Would like to see.

Gao Zhihang was extremely angry when he thought that Marshal Zhang, who had hundreds of thousands of troops in the three eastern provinces, wanted to abandon the three eastern provinces without a fight. After thinking about it again and again, Gao Zhihang made up his mind.

He wants to stay, and he wants to help Zhang Xinghan defend Fengtian City.

However, although Gao Zhihang made up his mind to stay, he still summoned all the pilots to ask for their opinions. After all, he was disobeying orders.

Once a decision is made, there is no turning back. He does not want to decide the fate of these fellow pilots arbitrarily. Their fate should be chosen by themselves.

Looking at hundreds of comrades, Gao Zhihang said straight to the point: "Brothers, I have come to see you all night. I have something important to announce to you."

As he spoke, Gao Zhihang took out the telegram sent by Zhang Xiaoliu and continued to everyone: "The young marshal just called. He asked us to abandon Shenyang Airport and fly all fighter planes to Jinzhou."

"What? The Marshal wants us to retreat?" Gao Zhihang finished speaking, and all the pilots started to commotion in shock.

"If we withdraw, what will happen to Shenyang? Will we stop defending?"

"Yes, the brothers in the city defense army outside are fighting bloody battles with the Japs to protect us. Brothers, listen to their shouts of killing and their gunshots. Are we going to abandon them and retreat alone? Already?"

Looking at the chattering subordinates, Gao Zhihang said nothing.

Until the deputy captain asked him: "Captain, what do you think? Are you planning to take your brothers and evacuate to Jinzhou alone, abandoning hundreds of thousands of fellow soldiers and civilians in Shenyang?"

Gao Zhihang took off the major medal and a medal symbolizing the honor of the Air Force from his shoulders, slapped it on the table and said: "Gao Zhihang will never be that cowardly person who is afraid of death. As long as I still have breath, I will With my fighter planes, I will not abandon Shenyang or my fellow villagers in the three northeastern provinces. I would rather die than retreat!"

All the pilots were infected by him. After being slightly startled, they all took off their armbands and swore in unison: "I would rather die than retreat!"

"Okay, from now on we are no longer Marshal Zhang's Air Force of the Three Northeastern Provinces, we are the Shenyang City Defense Force Air Force Fighting Brigade, and we swear to live and die with Shenyang!" Gao Zhihang raised his arms and shouted excitedly.

"I swear to live and die with Shenyang! I swear to live and die with Shenyang!" A group of young pilots shouted their oath with all their strength.

Good and evil are a matter of thought, and choices are also a matter of thought. The choices made by Zang Shiyi, Song Dexian and Gao Zhihang tonight determine the fate of their lives.

On the east bank of the Niujiatun section of the South Canal, Itagaki Seishiro's buttocks were still hot, and he had not yet had time to celebrate that his own troops had made substantial progress in their offensive.

One of our own soldiers rushed over panting, and without even saluting, he reported to Itagaki Seishiro: "Your Excellency, Commander, it's not good, our attacking force was defeated by the Chinese. Now the Chinese have launched a full-scale counterattack. The situation is extremely critical." , Commander, please make a decision quickly."

"What? Defeated?" Itagaki Seishiro stood up suddenly in shock and said with disbelief: "What's going on? How could this happen?"

"The defenders of the China airport suddenly used extremely powerful anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns to fire at our attacking troops. Our attacking troops suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat. The Chinese took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack," the soldier quickly explained.

"Bagaya Road." Itagaki Seishiro was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth. At this time, he had already seen his troops on the other side retreating in a panic.

The Northeastern Army took advantage of the situation to pursue them. The situation was extremely critical. In the panic, Seishiro Itagaki had an idea in his mind and immediately said to the soldier: "Inform the attacking troops immediately. There is no need to cross the river to retreat eastward. They can retreat directly to the south of Shenyang City and meet the emperor there. The main force of the army has gathered."

"Hai!" The Japanese soldier lowered his head suddenly and quickly took the order and left.

Shenyang City South, City Defense Headquarters.

After Guo Zhong received Zhang Xinghan's instructions, he strengthened his surveillance of Song Dexian and ordered his subordinates to be more vigilant just in case.

Not long after, several cars suddenly drove up to the gate of the City Defense Headquarters, and the first one to get out was Jin Yufu, who had left and returned.

Upon seeing this, Guo Zhong led someone forward and asked: "Secretary-General Jin, are you here again? What can I do for you?"

Jin Yufu did not answer Guo Zhong, but walked to a car behind him, opened the door, and welcomed Zang Shiyi out.

Guo Zhong was shocked when he saw that it was Zang Shiyi, and looked around again. About a dozen men in suits walked out of several cars one after another. They were all strong and powerful, and they were obviously not ordinary people.

Guo Zhong stepped forward, saluted, and said, "Governor Tibet, I wonder why you came to our city defense headquarters late at night?"

"The Governor of Tibet came to you, Commander Zhang, to discuss important matters. Where is Commander Zhang and others?" Jin Yufu asked knowingly.

"The Japanese army is attacking fiercely, and our commander is supervising the battle outside the city." Guo Zhong answered truthfully.

"Oh, then hurry up and inform him. Just tell him that the Tibetan governor has something urgent to do with him," Jin Yufu said.

Guo Zhong nodded and immediately turned sideways to give way.

Zang Shiyi and Jin Yufu were about to walk towards the commander's office, but Guo Zhong stepped forward and stopped them.

"Captain Guo, what do you want to do?" Jin Yufu shouted dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, Governor Tibet. The city defense commander is an important military area. You can't bring so many people in without our commander's order." Guo Zhong said with a dark face. As he spoke, dozens of guards guarding the door were already ready.

Preparing for battle, he aimed his guns at Zang Shiyi and his party.

When Jin Yufu saw this, he immediately pointed angrily at Guo Zhong and the guards behind him and shouted: "What are you doing? How dare you point a gun at the Tibetan governor? Do you want to rebel?"

"Secretary-General Jin, please forgive me for the responsibilities of Guo and the soldiers of my security company." Guo Zhong said without giving in at all.

"You?!" Jin Yufu was furious.

"Secretary Jin, forget it." Seeing that the situation was somewhat deadlocked, Zang Shiyi immediately waved his hand to signal Jin Yufu to shut up. He smiled and said to Guo Zhong, "Captain Guo is doing his duty well. That's good."

After speaking, Brick made a gesture to the dozen or so guards accompanying him and said, "You all wait for me outside. Ah Jiu, just bring two people in."
