Feng Hua, who seems to like adventure in every fiber of his being, likes this feeling of overlooking all living beings. Every member of the aviation team is burdened with this heavy pressure, and they need a success to affirm the value of their existence.

"Hey, buddy, raise the red flag and tell the other guys to lower the altitude." Feng Hua turned around and called to his companion, lowered the control stick, and the plane dropped from an altitude of 300 meters to 100 meters. The red flag was in the hands of his assistant.

After waving a few times, the three accompanying planes did not hesitate and descended in an orderly formation. One hundred meters was enough for the people on the plane to see the situation on the ground clearly.

"Hey, man, I really want to see the artillery position?" Feng Hua shouted excitedly. The artillery position that was moved down was the heavy artillery position of the Beiyang Army. The plane began to circle back and forth over the position. About half an hour later, behind him,

The assistant uses the map in his hand to confirm

After determining the position of the artillery, he gave a thumbs up. The other three aircraft quickly passed the flag signal and unanimously stated that they had determined the target. After receiving unanimous recognition, Feng Huacai smiled excitedly and shouted back: "Hey, man, put it there."

Give that little gift to them."

The assistant made an OK gesture and motioned for the other three aircraft to follow.

The Beiyang artillerymen on the ground began to be frightened, and some soldiers fled in all directions. The Japanese instructor Jiro Nakagawa hit the frightened soldiers with a wooden stick, and finally calmed down the frightened soldiers. For these ignorant Beiyang soldiers,

Zhongchuan felt very contemptuous in his heart. While beating several soldiers, he cursed loudly: "Pig, those aircraft are just toys. They will not cause any harm to the artillery positions."

Finally, all the soldiers returned to their positions. As expected, the planes in the sky could not do anything to them. After about half an hour, the soldiers felt more at ease. Under the threat of wooden sticks, the artillery continued to fire to suppress the attacking troops.

Defense Force.

Although the plane in the sky does not pose any threat to the people below, it is really annoying to buzz around the head like a fly. Several times, Nakagawa thought about shooting with a rifle. After thinking about it, he gave up. At that speed,

Shooting with a rifle is a waste of bullets.

Nakagawa still knew the usefulness of airplanes. But as mentioned above, the position was very safe in the city. As expected, not a single artillery shell from the National Defense Force fell into the city. Nakagawa got used to it and felt relieved. He looked up at the airplanes in the sky and showed a trace of sarcasm.

But the next moment, Zhongchuan stopped laughing. Several things fell from the sky, and he didn't know what they were. By coincidence, they were running towards his position. Based on instinct, Zhongchuan hid to the side, and then stared at

Looking at the falling black dot, he clearly saw that his gadget landed on top of the ammunition box.

"It's broken!" As soon as the thought came to his mind, Nakagawa found himself swept up into the sky by the strong air current. The last moment he saw was the majestic explosion of the artillery shell. There was only a whistling sound in his ears and nothing could be heard.

"Man, I hit the target!" Feng Hua was trembling with excitement. There were only four small gifts in total. When he threw them down, only one was within the target range, and the other three set several houses on fire.

The violent explosion alarmed Feng Guozhang at the headquarters. He had no choice but to be alarmed. The house in the town was shaking due to the violent explosion. When they rushed out of the room, many people in the headquarters turned pale with fright. The sound was too loud.

It was intense.

After seeing the direction of the explosion clearly, Feng Guozhang's heart dropped hard. Chen Zhiji, who rushed in from outside, shouted in panic: "The big thing is bad, it's a heavy artillery position."

Feng Guozhang sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the rising clouds, and said nothing for a long time. When Chen Zhiji saw this, he couldn't help but feel anxious secretly, but he didn't dare to step forward. Suddenly an adjutant rushed out from behind Feng Guozhang and shouted urgently.

: "Report, emergency call from Jinan, Jiaodong Self-Defense Army raided Jinan, the two sides are fighting fiercely, Jinan crisis."

Feng Guozhang came back to his senses and grabbed the telegram in horror. After reading the same thing, he felt dizzy for a while. He didn't wait to take any action, but he heard the roar coming from outside the city. The location of the heavy artillery position was hit again. This time, the patronage

It's the greenskin soldier's artillery shell. ww w.13800100. The first one, Feng Guozhang, looked up at the sky, teetering on the verge of collapse, and shouted: "Heaven will destroy Beiyang!" After shouting, a mouthful of blood spurted out, turning into blood mist and flying.

Zhang Xiaohuai on the opposite side was just the opposite. Good news came one after another. First, the air force attacked the heavy artillery position opposite, causing the artillery shells to explode, and successfully guided the heavy artillery troops to attack the opponent's artillery position. Later, news came from the front that Zhang Xun's troops retreated into Xuzhou

In the city, Chen Huan and Wu Xiang frame retreated their positions. What excited Zhang Xiaohuai the most was the call from Shandong. The Jiaodong Self-Defense Army came out with 25,000 troops to attack Jinan. The battle went smoothly, and they could succeed in one day at most.

.

On the third day after the battle on the Eastern Front began, earth-shaking changes took place.

This change has always played an inconspicuous role in the air force. It was precisely because a mortar shell, carrying two bottles of gasoline, detonated a pile of shells of the Beiyang Heavy Artillery Force, and the resulting explosion pointed out the target for the heavy artillery force.

Of course, from a large perspective, the real fatal blow was the Jiaodong Self-Defense Force’s surprise attack on Jinan.

Outside Jinan City, Qi Zhenghong, who arrived at the city, was riding his horse to observe the battle on the far side. The sneak attack was effective. The only battalion left behind in Jinan was a battalion of the Beiyang Army, plus some logistics and local troops, with a strength of only more than a thousand people. Even though

They discovered the sneak attack troops first, how long could they hold on?

"Report, the artillery is ready." The signal force came to report. Although Qi Zhenghong was relatively confident, the city defense was not yet in place. He issued a military order in front of the instructor that Jinan must be captured within 24 hours.

"Tell all the troops that there is no main direction of attack, all are main attacks. Let the artillery fire out all the shells they carry, and then the whole army will attack, advance or retreat, those who advance will survive, and those who retreat will be killed!" Qi Zhenghong said coldly.

According to the order, the Jiaodong Self-Defense Force after the expansion also has the problem of lack of actual combat experience. The original battle with the civilian army did not have much practical significance in training troops.

Shortly after Qi Zhenghong's order was issued, the communications troop came back and reported: "The artillery chief believes that shelling the city may cause civilian casualties. I hope to restrain the use of artillery."

Qi Zhenghong replied with a livid face and a sneer: "Compared to the great achievements of the commander-in-chief, a few casualties are nothing. Execute the order."

After an iron-blooded order was issued, the two 75th Artillery Regiments began intensive artillery fire. After two hours of bombardment, Jinan City was shrouded in gunpowder smoke. When the sound of artillery gradually subsided, three signal flares were launched into the air, and the green group charged like a tide.

At the beginning, the shouts broke through the sky.

There is no doubt that the resistance of the Beiyang soldiers was almost negligible, and the green torrent poured into the city. At dusk, when the setting sun was like blood, looking at the smoke of Jinan City, Qi Zhenghong turned around and said: "Telegram Wuhan, Suxian,

Jinan City is in my hands, please give me instructions on the next step."

In Wuhan, Fang Jianxiong was inspecting the defensive positions under Wusheng Pass when he received the call. Jiang Fangzhen, holding a telegram, rushed over. The excited Chief of General Staff Jiang shouted from a distance: "Help the country, help the country, Jinan City is here."

I have it!"

Fang Jianxiong was inspecting a machine gun position in a trench outside the pass. He turned around in shock when he heard the sound. After hearing Jiang Fangzhen's shout clearly, he jumped out of the trench. Jiang Fangzhen arrived out of breath. Fang Jianxiong grabbed the telegram, took a look, and then looked up to the sky and roared: "

Qi Zhenghong did a great job. I called Qi Zhenghong back and told me to pin him to Jinan City. Tell Zhang Runong that after this battle, Beiyang will no longer be around. I hope we can work together and go to Xuzhou as soon as possible to encircle and annihilate Beiyang elites under Jinan City."

In Xuzhou, Feng Guozhang breathed a sigh of relief after vomiting blood, and immediately summoned a group of people. After reporting the battle situation, everyone looked horrified. No one thought that Fang Jianxiong actually arranged such a thing behind Jinan.

A surprise soldier.

"For the current plan, we can only use the 3rd and 5th divisions to return to Jinan and destroy the enemies behind us as quickly as possible. Xuzhou, I can only leave it to you." It was Cao Kun who stood up and spoke.

In other words, these two divisions must not be defeated, otherwise Beiyang will really be doomed. Feng Guozhang thought very clearly about this issue.

"Zhongshan, Yongcheng, I'll leave Jinan to you two. I, the commander-in-chief, will stay with Xu Shou to buy time for you two to retake Jinan." Feng Guozhang stood up with gritted teeth, his already bloodless face flushed, and his eyes

Looking at the round stool, he slapped the table and shouted: "Fang Fuguo wants to destroy Beiyang, it's not that easy."

Even powerful, Zhang Xun stood up, patted his chest and said: "This battle is related to our life and death in Beiyang. Xun will fight to the death to protect Xuzhou." Veteran Jiang Gui asked, and after a little hesitation, he stood up and said solemnly: "No question.

If you dare to be content, you should go all out. I swear to live and die with Xuzhou!"

Chen Huan and Wu Xiang frame each stood up to express their feelings. The military meeting ended soon, and the third and fifth divisions set off overnight.

At night, calm returned to the outside of Xuzhou City, and neither side had any intention of fighting at night. In the National Defense Forces headquarters outside the city, Zhang Xiaohuai came to the front line in person and read out Fang Jianxiong's telegram from Wusheng Pass: If the main force of Beiyang on the eastern front can be successfully surrounded and annihilated, Beiyang will

With half of our strength gone, we can hope to win the Western Front without a fight. I hope you will keep in mind the purpose of building our national defense and army, work together to secure the Central Plains, and strive to annihilate the enemy at the gates of Jinan within ten days.

After reading the message, Zhang Xiaohuai stood up and shouted: "My order!" All the participating officers stood up. Zhang Xiaohuai's tone was solemn and his face was frosty: "Tomorrow morning at six o'clock, the general attack on Xuzhou will be launched. Each unit is not allowed to carry any. The time limit is 36 hours.

Take Xuzhou. If there are those who are not qualified, give way to others in advance. Otherwise, they will not be able to enter Xuzhou by then. I, the Chief of General Staff, will charge personally, with everyone here at the front."

When Li Yifeng returned to the division headquarters, it was already midnight. The guard battalion commander Yang Zui suddenly saluted Li Yifeng and said loudly: "Commander, I humbly ask for a fight. Tomorrow, our troops will go up first, and we will definitely be able to fight a bloody road into the city for the whole division."

Li Yifeng looked at them solemnly, nodded sternly and said: "Okay, I will give you all the automatic weapons of the entire division. Tomorrow the guard battalion will be the first to charge in." (You are welcome to support me, that is)

My biggest motivation.)
