Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

During the period of the Republic of China, the Chinese Air Force did not develop by leaps and bounds due to perennial warlord melee and the financial distress of the local and central governments.

At this moment, the total number of fighters owned by the entire Chinese Air Force is about five hundred.Among the [-] fighters of various types, the Northeast Air Force under the command of Zhang Xueliang accounted for half of them.It is certain that the Northeast Air Force is definitely the well-deserved leader of the Air Force of the Republic of China in this era.

As the only strategic air force in his hands, Zhang Xueliang attached more importance to the air force than any infantry brigade in the army.Therefore, the Japanese assault on the three northeastern provinces has just begun.The Northeast Air Force Command, located at Shenyang Airport, received Zhang Xueliang's order for the Air Force to retreat immediately.

However, the retreat of the Air Force is not as simple as that of the Army in any respect.

To become an Air Force pilot, certain theoretical knowledge is necessary.Therefore, almost all of the hundreds of pilots in the Air Force have a college degree or above.What's more, many military officers have the experience of studying abroad. [

In the eyes of these intellectuals, the ultimate goal of joining the Air Force is not to get promoted and get rich, but to kill the enemy and serve the country and defend the country.

But now, in the face of the invasion of the Japanese Kwantung Army, the air force known as the "Heaven's Proud Son" even had no chance to take off in combat, so they withdrew from the three northeastern provinces.Give up the airspace of Nuoda in the three northeastern provinces to the Japanese Air Force without firing a single shot...

Faced with this decision, all pilots couldn't figure it out.He clamored to ask Xu Shiying, deputy commander of the Air Force, to ask his superiors to fight, and asked the Air Force to attack immediately.against the Japanese invaders.

Zhang Xueliang, Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast Army, demanded that the air force immediately withdraw to Peiping, while hundreds of pilots of the Northeast Air Force unanimously demanded that the deputy commander, Xu Shiying, immediately appeal to his superiors and demand that the Air Force attack immediately...

In this way, the air force command guard headed by Xu Shiying, the deputy commander of the air force, and the air force pilots headed by Gao Zhihang and others immediately fell into a confrontation, and no one would accept the other...

And at this moment, a group of strangers in the uniform of the Northeast Army had already appeared without anyone noticing.Appeared inside Shenyang Airport...

After less than half an hour of investigation, the leader of this group, Lieutenant Colonel Wu Yuanbo, commander of the [-]th Battalion of the Second Special Operations Regiment under the Ninth Army, already knew clearly the situation of the Northeast Air Force confrontation at the airport.

"Gao Zhihang, the leader is indeed Gao Zhihang. I never thought that the intelligence power of the headquarters would be so powerful, and they could understand things that haven't happened so clearly..." Lieutenant Colonel Wu Yuanbo couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion after listening to his subordinates' report. .

turn out to be.Before Wu Yuanbo set off, he received a secret document from the teacher himself.in the file.The headquarters told itself with almost 100% certainty that once the Japanese Kwantung Army invaded the three northeastern provinces.Inside the Northeast Air Force, the more than [-] pilots headed by Gao Zhihang will definitely resist Zhang Xueliang's order to voluntarily withdraw from the three northeastern provinces.

Back then, when I first saw these contents, my first reaction was unbelievable.How could the headquarters confirm things that hadn't happened yet? Therefore, they didn't pay much attention to these secret documents at the time.

But.As the Japanese Kwantung Army began to invade the three northeastern provinces, Zhang Xueliang gave the Northeastern Army non-resistance and retreat orders... One by one, he directly told Wu Yuanbo that the contents of the original secret documents were slowly becoming reality one by one.

Now, seeing what happened in Shenyang Airport, it coincides with the contents of the secret document again.Lead commander Wu Yuanbo.Finally, I couldn't help admiring the headquarters, and I couldn't help expressing a sigh of emotion.

Of course, emotion is emotion, Wu Yuanbo has not forgotten the ultimate purpose of his trip...

He asked a squadron leader under his command: "Captain Wang, is there a way to contact Gao Zhihang..."

The squadron leader who was named by Wu Yuanbo replied in a low voice: "Captain, in order to prevent these pilots from flying into the sky without authorization. More than 100 pilots in the entire airport have been blocked in the airport pilot dormitory by the airport guard. Although the airport guard is in the dormitory There is a company of guards deployed around. However, with the skills of the brothers, they entered the dormitory area quietly, and there is absolutely no problem..."

Meeting Gao Zhihang was the first goal of Wu Yuanbo's trip.After getting an affirmative answer from his subordinates, Wu Yuanbo directly took out several documents from his carry-on document bag.Facing the next door, he ordered: "Call two people and enter the dormitory area with me..."

"Yes, captain..."

In the pilot dormitory area of ​​the airport, the commander-in-chief Zhang Xueliang faced the order.Gao Zhihang, who had met Zhang Xueliang several times, was lying on the bed with a depressed face, caught in a difficult decision.

And at this moment, three black figures suddenly broke in through the window and surrounded themselves. [

Although Gao Zhihang is a pilot, he still has some military training.When the three black shadows broke through the window, they subconsciously took out the pistol he had placed under the pillow, loaded the bullets, and wanted to shoot at these black shadows.

However, no matter how fast Gao Zhihang's reaction speed was, it couldn't be faster than special soldier Wu Yuanbo.

There was a dull impact sound, just as I took it, I saw a leg quickly bumping into my arm.Immediately afterwards, a stabbing pain came from the wrist.At the same time, the pistol that was just in his hand fell on the bed without warning.

Faced with the opponent's clean tactics, Gao Zhihang, who was attacked, immediately wanted to let out an exclamation.However, his wish was obviously about to come to nothing in front of Wu Yuanbo.

Wu Yuanbo, who was the first to rush into the room, kicked off the pistol in Gao Zhihang's hand, and at the same time, his whole body threw himself on Gao Zhihang immediately.And with his right hand, he quickly covered Gao Zhihang's mouth, preventing Gao Zhihang from making even the slightest sound.

Facing the angry look in Gao Zhihang's eyes, Wu Yuanbo said softly, "Captain Gao, don't worry, we have no malicious intentions here, we are here to save you...We are also soldiers, and we are soldiers who beat devils... "

While speaking, Wu Yuanbo had already taken out his own military ID card.It passed Gao Zhihang's angry eyes.

Although I didn't see the specific content of the military certificate, the words 'Lieutenant Colonel, Ninth Army, Special Operations Division...' were clearly reflected in Gao Zhihang's mind.Thinking of the history of the Ninth Army's fight against the Japanese invaders, the anger in Gao Zhihang's eyes immediately calmed down a lot.And at this moment, Wu Yuanbo spoke again.

"Captain Gao, please don't cry out. The airport guards are all outside. If you agree to cooperate with us, I will let go, and if you agree, just blink..."

Gao Zhihang, who was almost out of breath by the opponent, blinked his eyes quickly without any hesitation, expressing that he agreed with what the opponent said.

And Wu Yuanbo, who was on top of Gao Zhihang, also kept his promise very much.Seeing the other party blink, he slowly let go of his right hand covering Gao Zhihang's mouth.However, letting go is letting go.In order to prevent accidents, Wu Yuanbo still looked at Gao Zhihang warily.And be ready to attack again at any time.

"Huh..." After taking a few deep breaths of fresh air, Gao Zhihang's flushed face finally calmed down.Sitting up from the bed, after taking a deep look at Wu Yuanbo in front of him, he asked, "Who are you and why did you appear at the airport..."

Facing the sharp eyes of the other party, Wu Yuanbo did not hold back.After handing the officer's certificate to the other party, he said, "Captain Gao, we are all from the Ninth Army in Liaodong. As for the purpose of coming to Shenyang Airport, I can tell you for sure that we are here to fight devils..."

Although Gao Zhihang believed in the other party's identity.However, after hearing Wu Yuanbo's purpose for coming here, a mocking smile quickly appeared on Gao Zhihang's face.Facing Wu Yuanbo in front of him, with a strong suspicious expression.Asked rhetorically: "It's up to you guys to fight devils... You know, none of the 30 elites of our Northeast Army are opponents of the Japanese, let alone you guys."

Wu Yuanbo was not angry.Instead, he turned to Gao Zhihang and asked "sex": "Isn't the 30 Northeast Army an opponent of the Japanese? Captain Gao, I don't know who made this conclusion..."

"Of course it is our Commander-in-Chief Zhang, otherwise, why did Commander-in-Chief Zhang order all the Northeast Army to quickly withdraw from the three Northeast provinces..." Gao Zhihang subconsciously responded without thinking...

However, what happened next was completely beyond Gao Zhihang's expectation.As soon as his own voice fell, Wu Yuanbo's calm expression just now was shrouded in ashen.

Regardless of the identity of Gao Zhihang in front of him, he scolded angrily: "Fart, the real reason for the retreat of the Northeast Army is that Zhang Xueliang is timid and fearful of losing his position as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army. opponents. I don’t believe that 30 Northeast elites can’t even deal with more than 30 little devils..."

"Besides, without firing a single shot, he ordered the troops to withdraw from the three northeastern provinces. How could he, Zhang Xueliang, know that the Northeast Army is not an opponent of the Japanese when he did not fire a single shot..."

Although he was dissatisfied with Wu Yuanbo's attitude of belittling Zhang Xueliang, what Gao Zhihang could do in the face of the facts was to remain silent.For a while, the small dormitory suddenly fell into a very embarrassing silence.

And at this moment, in order to break Gao Zhihang's last shred of faith in Zhang Xueliang, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army, several documents were quickly placed in front of Gao Zhihang by Wu Yuanbo.He spoke to Gao Zhihang.

"Captain Gao, let's take a look at what orders your so-called Commander-in-Chief Zhang has given the troops these days..." [

"Facing the attack of the Japanese army, all troops fought back to avoid greater military conflicts, otherwise the military law will engage in..."

"All garrison troops, facing the provocation of the Japanese, must be patient as much as possible..."

"Order all the garrisons in the three northeastern provinces to immediately withdraw to Rehe, and prohibit any conflict with the Japanese army..."

"Order the Northeast Air Force to immediately drive fighter planes out of Shenyang Airport. If necessary, the airport guard can take coercive measures. Any pilot is prohibited from flying fighter planes to attack the Japanese army without authorization..."

In front of Gao Zhihang, Wu Yuanbo casually dug out some telegrams and read.

Seeing Gao Zhihang's face getting more and more gloomy in front of him, Wu Yuanbo said with a straight face: "Captain Gao, you see, this is your Commander-in-Chief Zhang. Here, I can be sure Let me tell you, Zhang Xueliang is fully responsible for the reason why the Northeast Army lost the three Northeast provinces and made tens of millions of people in the three Northeast provinces slaves of the Japanese."

"In addition, the entire Northeast Army collapsed without a fight, and gave up the three eastern provinces to the Japanese without even killing a little devil. This kind of behavior is almost the same as treason. I can say that even if hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army troops withdraw In the pass, there is no place for you in the pass. At the same time, the entire Northeast Army will become a disgrace to the national army, a disgrace to the country..."

Wu Yuanbo's words are like a needle.It deeply hurt Gao Zhihang's heart to serve the country.

Although the expression on Gao Zhihang's face only changed slightly.However, this change did not escape Wu Yuanbo's sharp eyes.

The opportunity is in front of you, as long as you present more convincing evidence, Gao Zhihang will definitely be persuaded by yourself.Wu Yuanbo secretly thought in his heart.

Immediately, facing Gao Zhihang, he continued to speak.

"Captain Gao, this is the evacuation order sent to you by your Commander-in-Chief Zhang Xueliang. I believe it. You have received it. Are you willing to withdraw into the customs with a shameful hat and watch tens of millions of people in the three northeastern provinces Suffering under the ravages of the Japanese army..."

"Don't forget, we are soldiers. The task of soldiers is to defend our home and country. If we can't even protect our own homes, what do we soldiers do? In addition, the roots of the Northeast Army are in the three northeastern provinces. If they lose the three northeastern provinces, the Northeast Army will lose It's not called the Northeast Army. More importantly, you have to wear the hat of shame. You live in the customs and endure the cold eyes of the people of the whole country..."

Sure enough, as Wu Yuanbo's voice fell, a trace of shame and indignation quickly covered Gao Zhihang's face.

Facing Wu Yuanbo, he said with a painful expression: "That's enough, Officer Wu. Don't say any more... We all know what you said. But, what can we do, we are just a member of the Northeast Army. We are just a member of the Northeast Army. Middle-ranking officer. Are we alone fighting the Japanese?"

Wu Yuanbo shook his head firmly, and said, "No, Captain Gao, you made a mistake..."

Seeing Gao Zhihang's puzzled expression, Wu Yuanbo explained: "It is not only you who are still fighting in the three northeastern provinces, but also the tens of thousands of Northeast Army who disobeyed Zhang Xueliang's order. At the same time, our Ninth Army is also A total of [-] troops have assembled in the Liaodong Peninsula. I believe that in a short time, these [-] troops will launch an attack on the three northeastern provinces, take back all the lost land from the Japanese, and drive the Japanese out of the three northeastern provinces..."

One hundred thousand elite Ninth Army, plus tens of thousands of Northeast Army who are still in the Northeast, fighting with the Japanese Kwantung Army.Although Gao Zhihang didn't know whether the final victory belonged to the Republic of China, these troops used their actions to stimulate the blood and enthusiasm for serving the country hidden in their hearts.

After his heart boiled again, he turned to Wu Yuanbo and asked back: "Mr. Wu, what you said is true. Your army has really assembled a hundred thousand troops on the Liaodong Peninsula, ready to join the war..."

Wu Yuanbo said proudly: "Of course...Captain Gao, don't forget how our Ninth Army developed and grew. It can be said with certainty that our Ninth Army almost stepped on the corpse of the little devil and developed step by step. .Now, such a good opportunity to fight devils is in front of us, of course we will not let it go..."

Seeing the pride and sincere eyes on Wu Yuanbo's face, the last doubt in Gao Zhihang's heart finally dissipated.After calming down, he turned to Wu Yuanbo and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Wu, I have decided to stay and fight devils. I don't know what is the specific purpose of your next visit?"

After finishing speaking, he stared directly at a pair of eyes full of expectation, waiting for Wu Yuanbo to return.

Without making Gao Zhihang wait too long, a document of appointment and dismissal appeared in front of Gao Zhihang.Facing Gao Zhihang in front of him, he said, "Captain Gao, this is a secret appointment and dismissal document issued by the General Headquarters of my Ninth Army a few days ago. As long as Captain Gao agrees to stay in the Northeast to fight the little devils, Captain Gao will be my Ninth Army The subordinate aviation commander is not the commander of the second aviation division major general..."

"Master Major General..."

For Gao Zhihang, who was only a lieutenant colonel, this temptation was indeed very great.However, he who had slowly regained his composure did not respond immediately, but asked in a deep voice.

"Mr. Wu, I want to know the specific location, establishment, equipment status of the Second Aviation Division, and the future combat objectives of the entire Second Aviation Division..."

After casting a glance of admiration at Gao Zhihang, Wu Yuanbo replied: "No problem..."

"According to the establishment of our Ninth Army Air Force, the Second Aviation Division has a total of three aviation regiments: a 'Wildcat' fighter regiment, two 'Reaper' dive bomber regiments, and a reconnaissance aircraft squadron, with a total of 130 completely leading aircraft in the world. The latest fighter jets…”

"After the establishment of the Second Air Division, the final base is Shenyang. However, before Shenyang City is taken back by us, the temporary base of the Second Air Division is Dalian Airport..."

"As for the personnel situation of the Second Aviation Division, I regret to tell Captain Gao that all pilots and ground crews must find a way to solve it by themselves."

An expression of sudden realization slowly appeared on Gao Zhihang's face.Facing Wu Yuanbo, he said with a wry smile: "I understand, Chief Wu, what you want is not just me, Gao Zhihang, but the entire Northeast Air Force... However, in order to fight the little devils, and to drive your army to us The latest equipment provided, I will definitely try my best, but my colleagues said, join the Ninth Army as much as possible..."

With Gao Zhihang's cooperation and persuasion, the special force successfully eliminated and controlled the airport guard.Subsequently, 159 pilots of the Northeast Air Force, who agreed to join the Ninth Army, directly drove the fighter planes that could take off at the airport, disappeared into the vast night sky, and slowly flew towards Dalian Airport.

As for the air force ground crew who agreed to join the Ninth Army, under Wu Yuanbo's order, they secretly dispersed around the airport, waiting for the main force of the Ninth Army to arrive.
