Shenyang, garrison brigade headquarters compound.

Su Hanyun has ended her vacation today, bid farewell to Zhang Xinghua, and returned to the team.

At this time, a telegram from Nanjing was being received.

After skillfully interpreting all the messages, Su Hanyun took off her earphones, stood up and walked towards the other company commander's office in the communications room with the message in hand.

"Captain Li, I just received a call from Nanjing. Do you think it's me who is going to give it to the passenger, or is it?" Su Hanyun came in and asked.

"The host has taken Deputy Battalion Commander Shen out. He's not here for the time being. Let's leave it alone for now." Xiao Lizi pointed to the table in front of him.

"Yes!" Su Hanyun responded. After putting down the message, a look of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she turned and left.

……………………

It's night at Beiling Airport.

Airport guards have begun routine patrols, and several searchlights on the watchtower at the airport gate are on as usual, shining back and forth.

Inside the airport, in a large conference room on the second floor of the aviation building.

More than a hundred pilots were sitting at dozens of tables, gathering together to feast and drink wine.

The whole conference room was bustling with people.

Such a glorious victory in the Shenyang defense battle was entirely due to the strength of the aviation fleet.

As the brigade commander of the garrison brigade, Zhang Xinghan naturally wanted to have a meal with them to celebrate.

On a round table to the north, Zhang Xinghan, Gao Zhihang, and Liu Cuigang were toasting and drinking.

After three drinks and five dishes, Zhang Xinghan picked up his glass and stood up. Gao Zhihang, Liu Cuigang and other pilots at the same table quickly stood up.

After looking around at the pilots present, Zhang Xinghan raised his glass and said loudly: "My colleagues, since the September 18th Incident, our army and people in Shenyang have been able to win two consecutive victories, defeat the Japanese army, and save Shenyang. It is all thanks to your air force officers and soldiers who risked their lives. , I have already asked President Chiang to take credit for all the brothers in the air force for their courageous attack, and the awards will surely arrive soon~!"

More than a hundred pilots present quickly picked up their wine glasses and stood up. Captain Gao Zhihangyi said with dignity and dignity: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. Today, the invaders want to occupy Shenyang, and all the officers and soldiers of our aviation team have risen up to fight back. It is our duty to do so." For domestic matters, it doesn’t matter whether you have military merit or not, as long as you can defend your homeland, what’s the point of dying as a member of the air force?”

"Well said, but here tonight, I still want to toast my brothers on behalf of all the folks in Shenyang! Do it first as a token of respect!" Zhang Xinghan finished his words, raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp.

He smacked his lips, turned the glass of wine over in his hand, and said in a cold voice, "Do it!"

"Do it!" Gao Zhihang, Liu Cuigang and other pilots responded in unison and raised their glasses to drink together.

Putting down the wine glass, Zhang Xinghan said: "Brothers, there are many things going on in the city, and I still have military duties to attend to, so I won't accompany you. You can drink as much as you want tonight, I'll go back first."

"Commander, we will send you off." Liu Cuigang said immediately.

"No, you continue, haha!" Zhang Xinghan smiled heartily and strode out with Shen Xingye.

………………

Zhang Xinghan and others took a jeep back to the brigade headquarters. It was already eight o'clock in the evening.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Lizi came up to him with the telegram.

"Hospitality, there's a call from Nanjing." Xiao Lizi saluted.

Zhang Xinghan took the message, walked towards the headquarters compound, and opened it.

Xiao Lizi followed Zhang Xinghan. He clearly noticed that Zhang Xinghan's face gradually became serious after opening the message.

"Housemaster, what should we do?" Xiao Lizi had already read the contents of the telegram and asked cautiously.

While they were talking, they had already entered the main hall. Zhang Xinghan took off his helmet and put it on the table. After pondering for a while, he turned to Xiao Lizi and said: "Immediately send someone to inform Liu Jianguo, the commander of the first regiment, and Wang Yicai, the commander of the third regiment. Liu Guodong, commander of the second regiment, and Sabli, commander of the cavalry regiment, came to the brigade headquarters for a meeting and told them that the situation was urgent and they should come as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Xiao Lizi stood up and responded, turned around and walked away quickly.

About half an hour later, Liu Jianguo, Wang Yicai, Liu Guodong and Sabuli arrived one after another after a long journey.

"Prince, why are you here in such a hurry to see us?" Liu Jianguo was the first to speak.

Zhang Xinghan directly handed him the reply message from Nanjing and said to them: "Please take a look first. This is the second withdrawal order sent to me by Principal Jiang of Nanjing, asking us to withdraw from Shenyang."

"What?" Liu Jianguo received the telegram in surprise, and after reading it one by one with Wang Yicai and others, they were all a little stunned. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.

Finally, Wang Yicai asked: "Brother, what are your plans for this?"

Zhang Xinghan did not answer but asked: "What about you? Tell me what you think?"

Facing Zhang Xinghan's gaze, Wang Yicai took the lead and said: "Let me tell you, it was hard for us to save Shenyang. Moreover, if we withdraw, what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of people in Shenyang? We have said that we will fight with Shenyang. Survival or death, I will never give up."

"Commander Wang is right. If our garrison brigade retreats, it is very simple. What will happen to the hundreds of thousands of people in the key city? The Japanese have suffered such heavy losses twice in a row. If we withdraw and they fail to retaliate, what will happen? Will he pour his anger on the fellow villagers in Shenyang City?" Liu Guodong also followed suit.

"There is another more troublesome question, that is, where can we retreat? The infantry regiments are easy to say, but what about the air force? What about the steelmaking and other factories in the industrial zones such as the Shenyang Arsenal?" Liu Jianguo, the commander of the first regiment, looked worried. He said: "Moreover, President Jiang has stated in the telegram that if we do not retreat, it is very likely that the Japanese will invade China with all their might. At that time, we may disobey the leader's military orders, trigger a war, and become a national sinner)

Zhang Xinghan nodded unequivocally. What his three subordinates said all made sense. These were the problems he actually needed to face at the moment.

What Liu Guodong and Liu Jianguo said are right. If it were just the three infantry regiments of the garrison brigade, then everything would be easy to say.

You can retreat wherever you want, but the key is Gao Zhihang's air force. You can't let them blow up all the planes. You should retreat with yourself as infantry, right?

Blowing up the planes is not the most important thing. As long as the time is right, Zhang Xinghan can re-equip them with a batch of fighter planes at any time.

The key is the reason. You can't just have a new batch of fighter jets appear out of thin air, right?

You must know that Gao Zhihang and the pilots are all real people, and they also have their own ideas.

There has to be a valid reason.

The same is true for the aviation force, and the same is true for the Shenyang Arsenal.

Without the cover of the Shenyang Arsenal, the source of future weapons would be unclear.

This is extremely dangerous until you are strong enough, unless you lead your troops into the deep mountains and forests and never show up again.

Of course that's impossible.

Because people in this era are not all idiots and retarded as written in some online novels.

For example, the leaders of various countries in the world. The reason why they can become the leaders of a country in this troubled and chaotic world must be because they are different from ordinary people.

When fighting, you can use advanced weapons, fighter planes, experience that is nearly 80 years ahead of this era, and predict the direction of history, and win by chance twice.

But if the news that he was an outsider leaked out about a watch that could produce unlimited weapons and equipment, it would definitely bring disaster to him.

It is as if an omnipotent alien suddenly came to the earth in the 21st century. Do you think that for the sake of their own vital survival interests, can all human countries on earth not rise up to eliminate such alien aliens?

Moreover, regardless of whether we evacuate Shenyang or not, the resistance against the Japanese will continue and the troops will still develop.

Therefore, the arsenal cannot be set on fire or blown up as President Chiang ordered.

Even if the aviation force and arsenal were left alone, Zhang Xinghan's garrison brigade could not just evacuate safely.

Liu Guodong is right. The Japanese suffered two big losses in Shenyang City in a row, with losses exceeding 10,000 yuan.

It would be considered a great shame and humiliation by the Japanese if Zhang Xinghan really followed President Chiang's order and blew up the Shenyang Arsenal and all industrial and military infrastructure after evacuating.

The Japanese occupied Shenyang, but they couldn't find anything, and they couldn't find a garrison brigade. Based on the nature of the Japanese, it is very likely that the hundreds of thousands of people in Shenyang City would be attacked and vented.

As a Chinese and a descendant of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, Zhang Xinghan must not let the tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre be staged in Shenyang City. Even if he is shattered to pieces and all members of the garrison brigade die in battle, he cannot let such a historical tragedy happen.

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Xinghan made an astonishing determination and said to several subordinates: "In that case, we will evacuate the people in the city, and then dismantle and transport all the factories including the Shenyang Arsenal, leaving an empty city for the Japanese. "

"Evacuate the entire city and all factory infrastructure?" Liu Jianguo looked at Zhang Xinghan in surprise.

Zhang Xinghan nodded.

However, Liu Jianguo waved his hand hurriedly and said: "Brigade, this is absolutely impossible. Not to mention that evacuating hundreds of thousands of people is very troublesome and takes a long time. The nearly 10,000 large and small machines in the Shenyang Arsenal factory complex alone are enough for us to work on. Moreover, Have you ever thought about where we can evacuate with hundreds of thousands of people and so much industrial machinery and equipment?"

"We still have the air force. If we want to withdraw, we have to evacuate to a city with an airport. If the Japanese army follows us and pursue us when we retreat, the consequences will be disastrous!" Wang Yicai also frowned and said worriedly.
