148 Chapter Nine One Eight 1
At the headquarters of the Japanese Kanto Army in Dalian, early in the morning, the commander of the Japanese Kanto Army, Honjo Shizuo, stood in front of the huge military map with a serious expression. Kanto Army combat staff, Ishihara Kanir, and the head of the Fengtian secret service agency, Ban Hengzei Shiro, was waiting next to him. At this time, Ishihara Kanir said: "Commander, Doihara sent a secret report from the country. As long as we take action, it will prompt the cabinet and the emperor to agree to our combat plan to occupy the entire northeast. We have no way back.
Shiro Banyoko said: "Commander, it's time to make up his mind. At present, the Northeast Army has no preparations. We are very sure of success. We will die if the fighter is a little inferior, so we cannot hesitate at all." Honjo Shizuo touched Hygiene with his hand and said: "Order all troops to secretly enter the designated position according to the original plan, order the North Korean garrison troops to enter the first-level combat preparations, and take military action at 22:00 tonight." A combat staff member quickly drafted a telegram and turned around and ran out.
Shiro Banyoko said: "Commander, according to reliable information, the Northeast Army Fengtian Military Airport will be conducting a flight performance today. Many families will go to watch the performance. Did the Northeast Army discover something?" Ishihara Kaner interrupted him and said: "Impossible. If the Northeast Army discovered our plan, the army of Beidaying would have been mobilized long ago, and the troops from all over the country will also reinforce Fengtian. This is absolutely impossible. According to my analysis, they are a normal flight performance."
Honjo Shizuo said: "Don't bother them, lest they arouse their suspicion. Don't worry, let them have fun! Maybe this is the last time. I will occupy the airport in the early morning tomorrow. The airport is ours and the plane is ours. Before dark, all the standby troops will keep the radio silent. No action is allowed without my order."
Fengtian East Tower Airport is located in the south of the city, adjacent to the Dongling and embracing the South Canal. Dongta Airport was built in 1921. At 8 a.m. on September 18, 1931, on the large venue in front of the command tower of Dongta Airport, men and women wearing festival clothes gathered. The laughter and play of the children were endless. A unique flying performance was about to begin.
At this time, 20 drivers were waiting for the performance on the apron. The gray-black fuselage was particularly eye-catching. Many pilots were busy and busy around the plane in an orderly manner, and were doing preparations. Among them, there were foreign pilots with white skin, blue eyes and high noses. They shouted loudly, showing their noble identity.
An observation platform was set up in front of the command tower, and a white cloth was laid on the long table, which looked very clean. The white cloth was filled with fruits, refreshments and other food. On the observation platform, Director Li, the highest commander of the Northeast Aviation Department, and many officers and their families were seated. Lu Erhu and Ma Quan also sat there. A huge tent was set up on the right of the observation platform, and the pilots participating in the performance were waiting inside.
Dongta Airport has a company's guarding force, and a squad of soldiers are guarding the east gate of the airport. Due to the superior geographical location of Dongta Airport and the heavy troops stationed in Beidaying, there is no problem with the safety of the airport. This time Lu Dahu used all his strength, a total of 150 people, of which 50 were already in the airport with short guns in hand.
The flight performance was scheduled to start at 10 o'clock, and 6 trucks appeared on the road leading to the city at 9 o'clock. The front buses were filled with people, while the back were empty. The convoy slowly stopped at the East Gate for inspection. During this flight performance, the Northeast Airlines Office specially issued a special pass, and as long as you hold a valid certificate, you can enter the airport.
Several trucks appeared at the airport gate, and several sentrymen were carefully inspecting. Suddenly, dozens of big men on the truck in front jumped out of the car. They were like magic tricks, each holding a submachine gun and aiming the black muzzle at the sentry. Then these big men surrounded the guard squad's room with extremely agility. Faced with such terror, a squad of guard soldiers were captured. Then these big men divided into several strands and rushed to all directions of the airport. They wanted to occupy key parts of the airport in a short time, and at the same time deal with the armed forces of the guard company.
Everything was going quietly. At 9:30, there was still laughter and joy in front of the tarmac. Lu Erhu sat on the observation stage, dealing with the officer next to him while anxiously waiting for the news. Now Lu Erhu has completely developed the concept of time. When he saw that the time has come, a big man flashed out from afar and stretched out two fingers, meaning that he had completed the task of controlling the airport.
Lu Erhu stood up and walked down the observation platform. One subordinate approached the mountain. Lu Erhu whispered: "You lead 20 brothers and arrest all the Japanese. Remember not to miss one, otherwise our plan will be wasted. Then he signaled another subordinate to prepare and capture the personal guards of the officers on the observation platform at any time.
At 9:40, Gao Zhihang, who was neatly dressed, came to the observation stand with great enthusiasm and made a loud report: "Report, preparations have been completed, please request to board the plane." Director Li, who was showing off his sensation, said arrogantly: "Major Gao, today is a day to show off our Northeast Air Force style. Don't let me down. I order all pilots participating in the flight performance to board the plane."
Without waiting for Gao Zhihang to answer, Lu Erhu shouted first: "Wait a minute!" At this time, the big men scattered around the crowd pulled out their short guns and surrounded them. Director Li asked in surprise: "Brother Lu, what do you want to do?" Lu Erhu said without hesitation: "Director Li, it's not to be hiding. Dongta Airport has been controlled by us. Please hand over your weapons, your officers and guards."
At this time, a guard took the opportunity to pull out his gun. A gunshot was heard. The guard's gun fell to the ground. The guard covered his arms and showed a painful expression on his face. At this time, the scene was a little chaotic, with the screams of women and the cry of children. Lu Erhu shot into the sky and shouted: "Silent!, we undoubtedly hurt everyone. As long as everyone cooperates, we will not hurt anyone." The scene suddenly became quiet. Director Li had to hand over his pistol when he saw this, and the other officers and guards also obediently.
At this time, Gao Zhihang was shocked and said with a pale face: "You, you! I am really blind and met you hungry wolves." Erhu said calmly: "We are not hungry wolves, but we are here to occupy this airport under the order of the government. You all prick up my ears to listen to the following words. According to reliable information, the Japanese Kwantung Army will launch an attack tonight. They will first attack Beidaying, Dongta Airport and other military key points, and finally Fengtian City, and then occupy the entire northeast."
The whole audience was silent, and the news was too unintelligible. "It's impossible that he was talking nonsense, don't believe him!" Director Li seemed to wake up and roared loudly. At this time, a group of people came over, and the headed guard company commander and his officers were tied up and escorted. Then a group of Japanese with blue noses and swollen faces were taken up. Obviously, this was the result of their attempt to resist during the arrest.
Lu Dahu said in a somewhat broken Japanese: "Little Japan, no matter who dares to resist or kill." The audience was silent again. Seeing these well-trained men and those with a little military knowledge no longer doubted their identities, because before people knew it, the entire airport changed their owners, and it was so sudden.
Ma Quan said, "Everyone, we have been planning to occupy Dongta Airport for a long time. The fact that the Japanese launched an attack is imminent. These planes are the country's precious wealth and must not fall into the hands of the Japanese. I can tell you clearly that General Zhang Xueliang has been under house arrest in Peiping because he issued an order to not resist no matter what happens. At this moment of national crisis, I hope everyone will understand the righteousness and cooperate with us. I think everyone is unwilling to be slaves to the destruction of the country!" Ma Quan had to lie, but in fact his words were confirmed soon.
Erhujie said: "We have no time to explain. If the Japanese find our intentions, they will soon send planes to block our airport, and then one of our planes will fly out. I announced that the retreat route is divided into two steps, one is to fly from the sky to Datong, Shanxi, and the other is to all pilot families and pilot families go to Shanxi by land. Other personnel can choose, but the pilot families have no choice."
Erhuhui said: "You don't have to worry about the pilots and pilots who did not attend the scene today. We have a clear understanding of your situation. In the future, I will be responsible for sending your relatives to Shanxi safely. Please believe it. Now I order the pilots and pilots' families to get on the bus. You must take the lead and not violate the order."
Suddenly the scene became chaotic. The previous six trucks and four trucks in good condition were pulled at the airport and quickly lined up on the airport runway. A farewell drama began to take place. I was still singing and laughing, but in a blink of an eye it turned into a separation of life and death. Erhu was in a bad mood when he saw this scene, so he decided to leave some time for them to say goodbye.
Then Erhu walked to the captured guard company soldiers and looked at the soldiers squatting on the ground. Erhu loudly announced that anyone was willing to go to Shanxi. The soldiers hesitated for a while, and some people stood up. Finally, they checked that more than 30 soldiers were willing to go to Shanxi. Erhu was overjoyed and immediately ordered them to send weapons to assist in the escort mission.
About an hour later, 10 trucks carried more than 200 family members, and 30 Japanese. Because Mu Yaping had explained in advance that these Japanese people had a skill and must bring them to Shanxi. 50 team members and more than 30 soldiers willing to follow them to Shanxi took the lead. 50 team members were responsible for sending their families to Shanxi because safety was very important to pass through the grassland.
Accompanied by the roar of the engine, the convoy disappeared. Gao Zhihang sighed helplessly and said, "Do you have a route map?" Ma Quan took out a stack of drawings and said, "Brother Gao, please understand us, please believe us, and you will know it tomorrow morning. This is the route map, and each pilot requires one. We have 20 pilots from Taiyuan, and we will give you all commands.
Immediately afterwards, the airport became busy again, and all the planes began to be raised from the hangar, and the refueling car kept roaring, like a deadly note. The foreign pilots at the airport did not cooperate at first, but were beaten up. These foreigners were more pleasing than our pilots. They were really a bunch of low-key people.
