    The Zhijun army, who was working up the courage to charge towards the Fengjun position, suddenly heard a "buzzing" sound coming from the sky. The sound started like a wasp coming out of its lair, and then got louder and closer, until everyone saw a "buzzing" sound coming from the sky.  Here comes a swarm of locust-like things.

    These monsters run very fast, and the sound of the propellers turning makes people feel heartbroken. The key is that there seems to be someone inside.  As the plane suddenly plunged downwards, a sharp-eyed soldier shouted: "There is someone inside!"

    ¡°My dear, are you a trapeze artist?  This was the first time I saw a trapeze artist after I was born.  The officers and soldiers looked up in surprise, and the frontline commander also reported the situation to Wu Peifu urgently.

    Wu Peifu still has his own intelligence channels.  Zhang Hanqing was operating an airplane, so there was no way he wouldn't know about such a big move.  However, having never experienced an airplane, he could not figure out why the young commander spent so much money on these rare gadgets.  Since the Fengtian Air Force's test area was highly sealed, outsiders had no way of knowing its combat status, so Lao Wu didn't know its huge role either.

    He also saw these "flying birds" and was shocked. While receiving inquiries from the frontline commander, he also heard a huge explosion.

    These things are here to throw bombs!

    Although there are some examples of rifles shooting down primitive fighters and bombers in later generations, the Zhili army did not know the key points at first.  After the water plane dived and completed the bomb-throwing action, they raised their wings and flew high. By this time, the ground was filled with smoke and shrapnel was flying everywhere.

    The intensive attack was disrupted by the intensive bombs. The unprepared and unsuspecting Zhizhi army suffered heavy losses: hundreds of people died on the spot and thousands of people were injured.  The critical psychological injury was fatal, and the fighting confidence of the frontline troops was completely shattered - Fengjun's artillery fire was so fierce, and there were murderous weapons emerging from the sky, how could this be possible!

    The first air raid in the history of Chinese war was born.  Although the "Water Bomb-1" only carried 6 heavy bombs at this time, considering the lack of air defense awareness, when 95 aircraft carrying nearly 600 bombs fell from the sky densely,  Its deterrence is greater than the continuous fire of hundreds of cannons.

    Is ignorance equal to mystery?

    The fly in the ointment is that a mechanical failure was left in the sea next to the Tianjin Airport - the airport was only built for U.S. aid aircraft and logistics convenience, and the water planes had to find water nearby.  However, everyone from Zhang Hanqing to Feng Yong was very pleased, because compared to the industrial level at that time, the average "work loss rate" of one percent was already quite good.

    Although the generals of the Zhili Army were severely beaten by the air raid, they were not in chaos.  Although some people died, it was mainly due to lack of experience.  The Fengtian aircraft returned after dropping the bombs, making the Zhili Army aware of its shortcomings: its bomb load was limited.

    This is the truth. Zhang Hanqing has already dispatched all his "air force", and due to technical immaturity, it will take more than half a day to complete the second raid.

    Under this circumstance, Wu Peifu issued an attack order, requiring the Zhili army to launch a fierce attack during the interval when the Fengtian air force came again.  As long as Fengjun's position is broken through, the bombs in the sky will not explode randomly. Moreover, with so many troops directly connected, even if they are opened up and allowed to explode, they will not lose much power.

    He ordered to publicize to the Zhizhi Army: The best way to avoid being bombed in the sky and on the ground is to rush into the Fengjun position in one go!  Because compared to the bombs overhead, the oncoming artillery shells seemed less scary.

    In order to maximize the possibility of forming a local advantage, Wu Peifu transferred more than 10,000 people from the Gyeonggi garrison from Beijing to join the front line.  The city of Beijing was empty, but Fengjun was overwhelmed by Zhili's fierce attack.

    Zhang Hanqing then sent a series of secret messages, asking Feng Yuxiang to mutiny immediately behind the Zhili Army to cut off its retreat, create a flanking attack from two sides, accelerate the defeat of the Zhili Army, and reduce the casualties of the Feng Army.

    But Feng himself was standing still in Langfang, sitting back and watching the success or failure.  He proposed to postpone the coup on the pretext that the direct army in Beijing was still strong, Wu Peifu was not far from the city, and the officers and soldiers had not received the funds allocated by Wu Zhikai.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????Outside of ¡°putting forward¡± the idea of ??suspending the coup, isn¡¯t he the one who has the final say?  Can Zhang Hanqing still force the case to be dismissed?  As for worrying about the strength of the Zhili Army, this is completely an excuse: the Zhili Army is now mobilized frequently on the North and South Roads, and the numbers of the various units that appear on the battlefield fully indicate that the Zhili Army has been mobilized in full force.

    It¡¯s a good excuse to charge fees. Does he want money?

    In fact, although Feng Yuxiang was dissatisfied with Cao Kun's election bribery, he had no favorable impression of Fengjun: Although Zhang Zuolin repeatedly supported Sun Yixian, he still colluded with Duan Qirui of the Anhui clique.  According to the news received by Japanese military adviser Masujiro Okano from Japanese intelligence personnel, when Zhang Hanqing met with Duan Qirui in the Japanese Concession, he personally promised that after defeating the Zhili clique, he would still use Duan Qirui as the candidate to organize the government.??

    This news made him unhappy, and at the same time, the public case deep in his heart came to mind again.

    Five years ago, Lu Jianzhang, his wife's uncle and his mentor, was shot to death in a joint plot by Duan Qirui's important adviser Xu Shuzheng and Zhang Zuolin's general counselor Yang Yuting. At that time, he was out of power and had no choice but to endure this bloody feud and not only never mentioned it.  , and volunteered to be transferred to Fujian to attack Guangdong to avoid disaster.  This hatred is buried deep in my heart, always waiting for an opportunity to come out.

    He has no good opinion of the Anhui clique, and he cannot tolerate Duan Qirui being in power again.  If Fengjun did not take Sun Yat-sen as the leader after the war, he would resolutely fight to the death with Fengjun. Rather than then, it would be better for both sides to fight to the death now.  Then when the two sides meet in the future, the division that Fengjun defeated miserably will not be able to gain an advantage over itself no matter what.

    Zhang Hanqing ordered Han Linchun's troops to conquer Zhengzhou as soon as possible at any cost in order to advance into the empty home base of Hebei.  Zhang Fulai and Xiao Yaonan, the two division commanders and commanders of the Zhili Army guarding Zhengzhou and Kaifeng, also knew that this was a critical moment for the success or failure of both sides.  The division's nearly 100,000 men refused to stay south of the Yellow River.

    Although the situation is urgent, it is still not easy for the People's Army to open up the situation in the short term.

    Zhang Hanqing also understood that he was too wishful thinking: the development of history was indeed carried out according to his previous ideas, but through his efforts, the history that was carried out in advance has slowly deviated from the track it should proceed on.  Things that were easy to accomplish in the past are not the case now.

    He had to hold another meeting with Sun Liechen, Ji Jinchun, Guo Songling and others to discuss the development of the situation.

    Under Wu Peifu¡¯s forced order, Wang Huaiqing¡¯s troops on the northern front finally made progress. Following the capture of Xuanhua on November 1, the troops divided into two groups to outflank Zhang Yuan on the 2nd.  Zhang Jinghui was in a hurry after receiving the call, so he had the idea of ????abandoning Zhang Yuan and retreating to Zhang Bei to wait for action.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
