The Japanese army probably realized that the North Thai defenders had an attempt to break through the airport and began to bombard the runway violently. However, Chen Zikun and the others had given up on the airport and found a car to pull the last plane away. Before leaving, they did not forget to pour gasoline on and light a fire, destroy the body and help Wang Sanliu eliminate the evidence of the fire. "《()

Chen Zikun and others pulled the plane to the Liberty Avenue. At the beginning of construction, this straight asphalt road was considered to undertake the task of the wartime runway. There was no car on the road, only a few broken bricks and tiles. The soldiers urgently cleaned it up. The pilot climbed onto the plane, activated the engine, and the propeller started.

Suddenly, a messenger came from the city hall command center and reported to Chen Zikun: "Chongqing is urgently sent to you to evacuate quickly."

The sound of the propeller became louder and louder, and Chen Zikun pointed at the plane and shouted: "I understand."

The pilot poked his head out of the cockpit and made a boarding gesture at Chen Zikun.

The sound of cannons rumbled in the distance, and the Japanese army launched an attack on the last fortress in Beitai. The messenger hurried back. A team of soldiers who had retreated from the airport carried the wounded by. Chen Zikun called them to carry the seriously injured onto the plane, took off his military uniform and covered a soldier with his leg blown off.

This plane can only take ten people, and even fewer people will be placed on stretchers. The pilot was anxious: "Director Chen, hurry up!"

Chen Zikun waved his hand: "Let's go, I'll stay!"

The Japanese artillery fire had already extended to Liberty Avenue, and it would be too late to leave if he didn't leave. The pilot had no choice but to take off in the artillery fire. The last plane left Beitai and the airport was lost.

At the command center of the city hall, shells fell like raindrops, and dust on the explosion of the ceiling was messy. Yan Su was shocked when he saw Chen Zikun coming in: "Didn't you withdraw?"

Chen Zikun said: "You haven't left, how can I leave? Besides, my wife and children are all in the hands of the Japanese. If I don't save them, I will not leave Jiangbei."

After understanding the situation, Yan Su said, "I have said that I have asked my brother and sister to evacuate first, but you just don't listen. Oh, now I can only count on the one named Wang. By the way, we have already telegrammed Chongqing and said that you took the opportunity to evacuate."

Chen Zikun said: "Send another report, I will draft the manuscript."

Yan Su said: "Just after sending the telegram, the transmitter was blown up and we have lost all contact with the outside world."

Chen Zikun asked: "How many people are there?"

"There are more than 100 people in the command center. It is unclear elsewhere. The Japanese army has divided us and surrounded us."

"Implement the final plan and withdraw it!" Chen Zikun's tone was a little heavy. He paid a huge price, but he still lost Beitai in the end, but as a soldier, this is his duty.

In the evening, the Japanese army launched the final attack. After a bloody battle, they finally occupied the city hall building. Looking at the Japanese army standing in the distance, they danced and waved the sun flag. Xiao Lang calmly picked up the dagger and placed the cold blade on his neck.

"Xiao Sang, you are not afraid of death, are you still afraid of living?" Tian Lu Chaoyi's question came from behind.

"Beitai is dead, and it is meaningless to live." Xiao Lang didn't look back, his eyes were full of devastation. The once bustling and noisy city had become broken walls, scorched earth, and the streets were fierce. There was no complete house in the center.

"Xiao Sang, there are still your compatriots in the city, and you still need to build the ruins. Let us build the paradise of imperial road together." General Tian Lu said earnestly.

Xiao Lang finally put down his knife: "Tian Lujun, thank you for your reminder. I can't die. My citizens need me."

The Beitai Fortress, which had been fought for several months, was finally conquered. The former National Government Foreign Ministry Building and the current Central China Expeditionary Force Command were filled with joy, and even more excited than conquering Wuhan, because Beitai was an example of resolute resistance set by the Chongqing authorities' propaganda system, and Chen Zikun has always maintained a glorious image of invincibility. Beitai's conquest will invisibly hit the morale of the Chinese people, which is irreplaceable.

At Beitai Airport, engineers were sweating profusely to repair the runway. The two planes landed before and after. They were General Hata Shinjiro Hata, the commander of the Central China Expeditionary Army, and Major General Okabe Naosaburo, the chief of staff of the North China Front Army. A woman in the uniform of the general of the Xing'an Army of Manchukuo was also a woman in the uniform of the general of the Xing'an Army of Manchu. It is said that she was the younger sister of Emperor Kant, a celebrity of the Kanto Army, Ms. Jin Bihui, whose Japanese name is Yoshiko Kawashima. This unreliable operation was planned by her.

The generals wore spotless leather boots, white gloves and gold-rimmed glasses, and inspected the extremely tragic battlefield of Hungry North Thailand. In the final stage of the battle, the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army extended a helping hand and sent the Kwantung Army's Manchurian United Special Air Support Team, which was training in the North China Plain, to airborne the Beitai Airport. However, the communication was slightly unsatisfactory, and the Tianlu Detachment did not officially receive the notice until the end of the battle.

The special air support team did not achieve any decent results, but instead lost many people. The chief and deputy captain of the Kwantung Army were all gloriously killed in the exchange of fire with the airport defenders. Instead, the Manchus survived by chance. The generals made a lot of remarks about this. However, in order to balance all parties, everyone tacitly told them that the victory of Beitai was the result of the joint efforts of all parties.

Yoshiko Kawashima took out a handkerchief to cover her nose, blocking the stench of the rotten corpse, and asked, "Where is Chen Zikun's body?"

Major General Tian Lu said: "Sorry, at the last moment, the enemy blew up the air raid shelter, and the bodies were pressed under ten thousand tons of concrete pieces, and they could not be excavated."

Yoshiko Kawashima giggled, "That's just that I didn't beat him to death. I know this person very well, but it's not that easy to die."

General Tadashi Shunji also said: "Tian Lujun, to be safe, I will clean up the scene and excavate the enemy general's body to also damage the morale of Chongqing."

Tian Lu was unhappy, but he still lowered his head: "Hayi."

Wang Sanliu, the Manchu Imperial Guard Colonel, accompanied the Japanese generals to patrol the battlefield. This time he was lucky. A fire in the hangar destroyed all the evidence of crimes. His brothers kept their mouths tight, and the fire and the affairs of Japanese colleagues became secrets. He also became a fighting hero and a model figure of Japanese and Manchuria goodwill.

Yoshiko Kawashima walked beside Wang Sanliu and gently pounded him with her elbow: "Wang Sang, go back to me and report the results of the battle." After that, she blinked ambiguously.

Wang Sanliu's sweat was all over. He was a strong man who was as strong as a man, but he couldn't resist an aunt like Yoshiko Kawashima.

But in order to protect himself and his brothers, he had no choice but to obey: "Hayi."

After the inspection, Wang Sanliu returned to the station. He asked his brothers to occupy a building and hid both my mother and the captured women here.

Seeing his son come back, Aunt Wang said anxiously: "Official Fang, what are you going to do?"

Wang Sanliu said: "We came from the Northeast to participate in the war. We won't live for a long time. Mom, you and I will go back to Xinjing to meet your daughter-in-law and grandson, these people..." He looked at Lin Wenjing and others.

"She is my mother's fucking daughter, don't be bad." Aunt Wang became alert.

Wang Sanliu smiled: "Mom, she is not your goddaughter, she is Chen Zikun's wife."

...

At Chongqing Coralba Airport, the first group of families who arrived by plane were looking forward to the return of their relatives, but more than ten hours passed and there was still no news.

The Military Commission said that after receiving a telegram from Beitai, Chen Zikun had already taken a plane to leave Beitai. It was logical that he should have arrived, and he didn't know what went wrong in the middle.

Uneasy emotions filled the airport. Yao Yilei held Jian Bing's hand tightly and muttered: "It won't be a problem, it won't be a problem." Jian Bing's hand was extremely cold, but he still smiled forcefully: "Yes, the master is auspicious and heavenly figure. He must have flew somewhere else halfway. He likes this."

After waiting for a while, it was getting darker and a plane in the east returned. Yan'er ran out happily, but came back in disappointment. It was a reconnaissance plane, not the plane that her father was riding.

Suddenly a team of cars drove in. The one who got off the car was the Chairman's wife Soong Mei-ling. Her face was extremely solemn and she was wearing a black cheongsam.

Yao Yilei felt something was wrong and immediately stood up, his voice dry: "Madam..."

Soong Mei-ling's tears were falling, and she stepped forward to hold Yao Yilei and Jian Bing. Both of them understood everything and burst into tears.

Yan'er was a smart girl. She immediately guessed the reason why the adults cried and shouted: "Dad is fine, I'm going to find Dad." After that, she ran to the runway.

Xiao Nan was not good at hearing aids and did not bring a hearing aid, but from everyone's mouth shape, he could tell what was going on. He was only eight years old, but he was already sensible, and he burst into tears.

Yao Yilei was even tougher. She cried for a while and wiped her tears and said, "Madam, where did my general die?"

Soong Mei-ling said: "One hour ago, our guerrillas found a wreckage in Hubei. The tail number was exactly the one that Zi Kun was riding on. All the members on the plane were burnt. One of the corpses had the metal rank of general left on the rank..."

Yao Yilei bit her lip tightly and nodded vigorously: "I want to go to Hubei and pick him up."

Soong Mei-ling said: "The Chairman has ordered that General Chen's remains be sent to Chongqing at all costs."

...

Late at night, at the sewage outlet of the municipal sewer on the Huai River, the iron grate was gently opened, and a dirty head was poked out, looking left and right, confirming safety, then slowly crawled out, holding a gun to alert, and then crawled out one more, and each person was stinking and covered in filth.

"I had known that this section of sewage discharge pipeline would be thicker, so I wouldn't have to bury it like this." Chen Shou complained.

Chen Zikun said: "Aren't the money shortage in the end? All the money is used to buy cannons and tanks. If I could run cars in the sewer according to what I meant, that would be exciting."

More than a hundred people crawled out of the sewage pipes and stood in waist-deep sewage. Several leaders whispered: "Where to go?"

Chen Zikun looked at the Japanese gunboats cruising in the distant river and said, "There are all Japanese in the southeast, west and north, so I can't run away. I have to go to Nantai first and try to break through the Daqing Mountain."

Everyone waded forward and found a reed marsh to climb in. The package they carried contained seized Japanese military uniforms. They picked some clean ones and changed them to the southwest while it was dark.
