,

spn Daxing Airport, the nearly ring-shaped fortifications on all sides strictly defend the entire airport. Since the airport was built during the war, the defense measures have been very good.

This is not a field airport that can be built and thrown away, but a considerable amount of manpower and material resources have been invested in its construction. In normal times, such a large field airport with four runways would not be built in a year.

However, now, just after the war, the Southwest Army is facing off against the Japanese in offensive position.

Four long fortifications in four directions guarded the airport. With an order, the soldiers of the Southwest Army had their guns loaded and their artillery ready to fire at any time, regardless of whether they were Japanese or Japanese troops.

For soldiers, the smuggling of cultural relics and the shielding of criminals are not important at all. What is important is an order. Years of formal military training have banned this southwest army, even though they are facing off against the soldiers who once fought side by side.

, but they still did not hesitate.[

Soldiers only need to execute orders, and decision-makers need to argue about the rights and wrongs of the event itself, and the victory or defeat.

The ** troops arriving at the outskirts of Daxing Airport have changed from one division at the beginning to two divisions. The 22nd and 28th Divisions of the two first-class divisions in the ** system are constructing simple positions while

Cautiously confront the airport defenders, and also be on guard against southwest reinforcements from the direction of Langfang.

The 22nd Division was responsible for encircling the airport, while the 28th Division was on the periphery to guard against reinforcements from the Southwest Army.

"Chief, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Southwest, Zhang Shusheng's office, Zhugesheng, the political commissar of the Sixth Division of the Main Division, is trying to explain something to Zhang Shusheng.

Zhang Shusheng sat in a chair, calm and tapping his fingers on the table, but his mind was thinking about the Daxing Airport incident.

He didn't know what Chairman Chiang was thinking, but he knew that if something happened to Daxing Airport, Nanjing would definitely kill two birds with one stone.

Judging from the intelligence just obtained, Taiyuan North Airport, which had always given the green light to the Southwest, stationed a regiment of Yan Xishan twenty minutes ago and faced off with a Southwest company staying at the airport. However, there is no one left at the North Airport.

The aircraft only had some fuel and aircraft parts. Zhang Shusheng was unwilling to take the initiative to intensify the conflict and ordered the company to voluntarily evacuate after blowing up the supplies.

Chiang Kai-shek used this trick on himself, but it reminded him of the Southern Anhui Incident in later generations. The careless red troops were ambushed by the superior forces of Japan. Although this cannot be said to be Chiang Kai-shek's fault, it at least proves that Chiang Kai-shek in later generations

The chairman of the committee is someone who can do things that make his relatives angry and his enemies happy. Although what happened at Daxing Airport was beyond Zhang Shusheng's expectations, it was not too surprising.

First of all, after Daxing Airport transferred a batch of planes back, there were still as many as dozens of planes. The Kuomintang forcefully closed the North Airport, which meant that it would be impossible for these planes to fly directly back to the southwest.

According to the usual tactics of the Chairman of the Generalissimo in later generations, it must be surrounded first, and then the gold bars are used to clear the way to lure Daxing Airport. In this way, Southwest will suffer a big loss, and it will also be able to obtain intact aircraft and even ready-made pilots.

.

The aircraft equipped by the Southwest are not the best in terms of performance. Once these aircraft are obtained, the strength of the Kuomintang Air Force will be greatly increased. Without this frontline airport, the Southwest Army on the Tianjin-Langfang-Daxing Airport line will be cut off.

Root arm.

This is why the Southwest Army used a regiment of troops to guard Daxing Airport, but the Japanese still took the risk and found an excuse to surround the airport.

"Seize the plane? Even if they all fly to Jinzhou, they won't be left to you."

Zhang Shusheng secretly thought that he had no reason to surrender to the Nanjing "government" or to Chiang Kai-shek. This chairman may have also made contributions in the Anti-Japanese War, but in the final analysis, he was still a politician.

"Commander, if we blow up these planes ourselves, then morality will be completely on our side. Even if we do not launch a war against Chiang Kai-shek now, we will still have the highest moral position when the country unifies the country in the future."

Zhuge Sheng anxiously stated his suggestion again. The reason why he came to see Zhang Shusheng was for this golden opportunity. "We can only blow up a small part of the planes, and the rest can fly to Jinzhou.

You have to move quickly."

"Is that so..."

Hearing Zhugesheng's suggestion, Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but frown slightly. Perhaps, if there was another politician at this time, he would definitely choose to blow up a few planes, flee the main force, and accuse the Nanjing "government" of provoking war. However, he

Do you really want to do this?[

According to reports from the front, Chen Cheng himself was firmly opposed to the implementation of this plan. In the end, the Kuomintang Political Department called Wang Mingzhang, commander of the 22nd Division, before forcing him to lead the operation. As for the 28th Division,

Divisions were additional troops that were dispatched after the situation became serious.

Judging from the reports sent back by the agents, Wang Mingzhang himself was very opposed to surrounding Daxing Airport and disarming the Southwest Army.

Zhang Shusheng is not an indecisive person. If the troops who were "forced" to act were troops from other places, rather than those who had just participated in the anti-Japanese joint operations, nor were they on the battlefield that had just ended in Tianjin and Beijing, he would not hesitate.

Choose to frame someone up.

However, he was unwilling to let these Japanese officers and soldiers who had just survived the gunfire of the Japanese army, and let these Japanese soldiers who were still fighting bloody battles with the Japanese a week ago, bear such eternal infamy, and he was even less willing to let Chen Cheng and

Wang Mingzhang became a new generation of national sinners. They all contributed to the nation, and he really didn't want to send them to a dead end except at the last moment.

There are many such examples in later generations. Some anti-Japanese war heroes, after surviving a life-and-death struggle with the Japanese army on the battlefield, had to fight against new opponents. As a result, they were misunderstood by the people for hundreds of years. This is absolutely unfair.

If Zhang Shusheng nodded and issued this order, then it is foreseeable that there will never be any official voice to rectify their names in the future. For the sake of governance, they will also become villains and be recorded in history.

"Zhuge, as a general, your suggestion is very good. Unfortunately, I can't do this. With the same result, we can use another method. Although it will be a lot more troublesome, it can save these anti-Japanese officers and soldiers. Politics is

They are cruel, but they are unjust." Zhang Shusheng sighed. Once the war starts, the Japanese anti-Japanese army that has not yet left Tianjin and Beijing will definitely go into full-scale war with the Southwest Army. This is a national tragedy. Maybe Chairman Chiang is...

It was only after taking this into account and thinking that he did not dare to provoke a large-scale war in Beijing and Tianjin at this time that he dared to openly provoke.

In fact, if a war really breaks out, the Southwest Army occupying Tianjin will not necessarily be at a disadvantage. The Japanese navy and army are shrinking across the board. The Southwest Army only needs to use its navy to escort a large number of troops to land in Tianjin, and even sail the fleet into the Yangtze River Estuary.

, an air raid on Nanjing is not impossible.

Zhuge Sheng left sadly, but secretly thought in his heart that Mr. Zhang may never become a hero, but he may develop in another direction, that is, a historical great man. He did not think Zhang Shusheng's answer was pedantic. On the contrary, he was shocked. If

If a leader who has the opportunity to aspire to the top of the world can say something like this and take this step into consideration for ordinary anti-Japanese officers and soldiers, then this person will achieve greater achievements than a hero.

However, Zhang Shusheng knows his own affairs well. Others are the masters who never forget the past affairs, but he is the master who never forgets the past affairs.

"Secretary Mao, come in." Having already made a decision, Zhang Shusheng called Mr. Mao Yun.

Immediately, Southwest sent electricity to Chen Cheng and Wang Mingzhang in the Tianjin-Beijing area in the form of secret telegrams, and the telegram was dictated by Zhang Shusheng himself.

"Commander, Southwest Secret Telegraph"

At the Kuomintang Military Headquarters in Peking, Chen Cheng received the secret message from his confidant.

"Commander, I happened to be at the telecommunications office when the secret message was sent. I personally translated the secret message, and no other person knew about it," the staff officer said with a salute.

"Well, well done." Chen Cheng patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to go down first. As expected, his confidant was the one who came to the rescue at the critical moment.

When he opened the secret code, there was only one simple sentence, but it was this sentence that made Chen Cheng sigh.

I saw a simple sentence written on the slightly unfolded telegraph newspaper: Southwest China will never retreat in this incident, and I hope that General Chen will always put the nation first.

At almost the same time, the telegram received by Wang Mingzhang, commander of the 22nd Division, said something else: If war breaks out, General Wang will be a sinner of the nation.

"It's about resolutely obeying orders."

Major Chi Yumin, the person in charge of Daxing Airport, put down the live broadcast call from the Military Department and then showed the official order document just transmitted by the Military Department to several other persons in charge of logistics, security and other aspects of the airport.

"Don't worry, Major Chi. As long as the gunfire doesn't fire before reinforcements arrive, the airport will be fine." The person who spoke was Zhu Chi, the commander of the Second Regiment of the Eighth Division of the Garrison Division who was guarding the airport.[

Zhu Chi is a cadet from the fifth class of the Huaxia Military Academy, Infantry Command Section. He is also one of the outstanding graduates of the Huaxia Military Academy. He even received training from Zhang Shusheng together with Wang Gongliang, who is now seconded by the Northeast Army to serve as the commander of the 17th Division.

He personally awarded the title. Although due to various reasons, he is still the commander of the garrison division, he is not the same as an ordinary regiment commander. He is the commander of the regiment who was awarded the rank of colonel. He has just been investigated by the military commissioner. If there are no accidents, he will soon become the commander of the regiment.

The youngest deputy division commander in the southwest. During the Tianjin-Beijing battle, when two Japanese divisions frantically attacked the defense line below Peiping City, the Second Regiment of the Eighth Garrison Division fought extremely well. Not only did they wipe out many enemies, they even dared to attack boldly.

Seizing the opportunity, he launched several extremely successful counterattacks. Although this person is not as dazzling as Dai Anlan, who was three years behind him, he is definitely one of the best young commanders among the fifth graduating students.

"Well, I hope the government won't fire." Although Chi Yumin knew that if the government fired, although it could damage the airport and even blow up the plane, it would be completely targeted by thousands of people, thus giving Southwest the absolute initiative.

.But he still didn't want to watch dozens of fighter planes being blown up. Although Southwest is rich, planes are still extremely valuable. "Order the fighter planes to take off."

"The plane has taken off. The Southwest Army's plane has taken off."

While the ** officers and soldiers were busy, the originally eerily quiet Daxing Airport was suddenly turned upside down by the roar of planes taking off.

I saw one plane taking off on each of the four runways in the distance, and the four-plane formation took off almost at the same time. After taking off, the formation began to hover in the sky.

The fighter planes did not launch air strikes against the Japanese, but maneuvered at large angles in the air at a distance, simulating attacks again and again.

"well"

Wang Mingzhang jumped out of the car and looked at the dense planes in the sky in the distance, knowing that it was already too late.

According to the plan, if the airport can be captured in one go, these planes will have no chance to take off, and they will not be able to threaten force as they do now.

Thinking of the secret message just now, Wang Mingzhang felt that he was as big as two people.

It was difficult for me to disobey Nanjing's orders. The tone of the phone call from the principal was so stern that I could not allow myself to disobey him in the slightest. The 22nd Division was not directly under the jurisdiction of Chen Cheng, the commander of the 18th Route Army, but it was still under the Tianjin-Beijing battle establishment.

, but in order to bypass Chen Cheng, who protested and refused to implement it, Chairman Chiang gave this order directly to himself, thereby letting himself take the blame.

Provoking an incident, or even triggering a war, was something Wang Mingzhang did not dare to think about.

There were no surprises. He knew that once the two armies started fighting, the first criminal would be Wang Mingzhang himself, but it would not be Chiang Kai-shek, let alone Chen Cheng. But it would be impossible not to implement the Chairman's order, even if it was not for the sake of loyalty.

For the sake of Chairman Mao, who is loyal to the party and the country, he must take responsibility afterwards, and the result of disobedience and disrespect will be military punishment at the very least.

"Brothers of the Southwest Army, listen up. We are also acting under orders to track down cultural relic smugglers. We are comrades who have fought side by side and do not want to conflict with you, so please hand over the criminals or let us go in to search..."

The ** announcer was holding a tin tube and shouting at the top of his lungs. Although the current situation was already full, he still had to do enough superficial work.

"Stand at attention." When Wang Mingzhang walked over, all the officers and soldiers saluted.

"How's it going? Is there any response from the other side?"

"Report to the division commander, there is none at the moment."

Wang Mingzhang frowned. He was really a tortoise shell. He was stubborn. He could at least make a noise so that he could report to the superiors. In this way, he could not find an excuse to report to the chairman of the committee.

"Woooo..."
