Jagged Warlord

Back in the war room, Li Mohan plunged into the piles of frontline battle reports. Generally speaking, the four directions of southeast, northwest, and north were all going smoothly. Interspersed with roundabout tactics, commanded three independent regiments to boldly carry out roundabout interspersed, the left and right wings did not exchange fire with Wang Tianchou's troops, but directly made dumplings for a regiment where Wang Tianchou was in, like a black tiger digging out his heart.

Wang Tianchou was not stupid, and he chose to surrender without hesitation. As a result, the Zhao Ti army in Kaifeng and Luoyang was still gathering, and the Beiyang army in Dingtao had been wiped out. The speed was so fast that Zhao Ti in Luoyang almost missed the telegram. The soldiers were shot for lying about the military situation.

"This Li Mohan, when I saw him back then, I knew he was not simple." Zhao Ti recalled what happened when he chased Bai Lang back then.

Bao Dequan, Zhao Ti's subordinate, persuaded Zhao Ti not to fight the SS. He said: "This SS can win two battles with the Japanese in a row. That's something we can win. Now Lao Yuan is here and wants to transfer us." The soldiers have gone to fight for him, and I think his good days are coming to an end, why don't we wait and see what happens.

Zhao Ti was right when he thought about it, so he imitated the ancients, prepared some gifts and planned to send people to Xuzhou to show his favor to Li Mohan, but before Zhao Ti's people left, Li Mohan's people arrived first.

It was a young officer named Lu Ming who came, and he also brought a letter written by Li Mohan. In the letter, Li Mohan first reviewed the friendship he had formed with Zhao Ti when he was suppressing bandits in Henan, and then described the major events in the world. After narrating it, he pointed out that Yuan Shikai's proclaiming the emperor was the common anger of man and god, and he perversely acted against him. It would not last long. He advised Zhao Ti not to help the tyrant. Then, Li Mohan threatened Zhao Ti not to make fun of his own future with the lives of tens of thousands of brothers under him. Finally, Li Mohan sent Give Zhao Tihua a commercial ticket of [-] yuan and [-] quick guns, hoping that he will appease the local area and protect the environment and the people.

Zhao Ti was overjoyed, he had just received Yuan Shikai's military salary and ammunition, and now Li Mohan sent another batch, when did he become such a sought-after sweet potato.

Zhao Ti replied a letter immediately, and at the same time assured Lu Ming: "Please come back to Brother Li, this little brother. I, Zhao Ti, have always supported the republic, and I also take it as my duty to protect the environment and the people. I, Zhao Ti, will be useful in the future." Wherever you want, just open your mouth!"

Lu Ming was also not polite, and said: "I hope Marshal Zhao will do what he said, and Lu will go back and return to his command, so farewell!"

"Go slowly." Zhao Ti sent Bao Dequan to politely send Lu Ming away.

After sending Lu Ming away, Zhao Ti patted Bao Dequan on the shoulder and said, "Dequan, you still have an idea. You see, it doesn't cost an army, and it's another sum of money and ammunition!"

Bao Dequan laughed and said: "That's all because of you, Commander, you are as open-minded as you are, you are good at accepting advice!"

Zhao Ti laughed out loud, and rewarded Bao Dequan with a sum of money.

After Lu Ming left Zhao Ti's official residence, he didn't leave Kaifeng immediately, but came to a hotel called Guangde Inn. He went straight up to the third floor, and when he reached the door of a room, he knocked lightly five times. There were five knocks in the room, and someone came to open the door and nodded to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming stepped in immediately, and there were already several people sitting in the room.

"Salute." Seeing Lu Ming coming in, several people immediately stood up and saluted Lu Ming.

"How's the situation?" Lu Ming asked

"The acquisition plan for the No. [-] target went smoothly, and he should have exerted influence on Zhao Ti." A man dressed like a businessman in a long mountain mandarin jacket and melon skin hat said.

Lu Ming nodded and said, "Well, I can also feel that up to the present position, your work has been very successful, and I will give credit to each of you when I go back!"

"Thank you for your kind words, sir." Several people were very excited.

"I'm leaving Kaifeng tonight. You must closely monitor the No. [-] target to prevent him from both ends." Lu Ming said

"Yes, we must live up to the Marshal's expectations of us!"

……Dividing line……

Li Mohan expressed his satisfaction after reading the report from the Henan side of the Military Intelligence Department, and indicated that Lu Ming could devote more energy to the No. [-] target.

However, when Li Mohan saw the Shandong Military News, he frowned, "This Juzheng, I'm almost losing patience with him, if it wasn't for Sun Wen's face, I would have killed him a long time ago , why he still doesn't know the depth!"

Lu Ming said: "The news from our eyeliner planted next to the bandit Sun Wanwan is that Ju Zheng is in contact with Sun Wanwan and wants to recruit him into his Northeast Army!"

"Dig my corner." Li Mohan snorted coldly, and said: "It seems that destroying his detachment and capturing his detachment leader is still not enough to beat him, so let's send someone to send a letter to Sun Wen directly, telling him, We are also anti-Yuan and anti-imperialist, let his subordinates not engage in unnecessary friction with us!"

"Yes." Lu Ming immediately stood at attention and saluted

Tuk Tuk Tuk

Someone knocked on the door outside the office. After knocking three times, a second lieutenant from the Military Intelligence Department appeared at the door. He saluted Li Mohan and Lu Ming, and then said loudly, "The third division came to report, saying that they had recovered Yidu at four o'clock yesterday afternoon. The county seat, and shot down an enemy plane during the battle, and captured a pilot!"

As early as April 1914, when Sun Wen was in Omi Yakaichi, Shiga County, Japan, he began to set up the "Chinese Revolutionary Party Aviation School". He hired Japanese Sakamoto Shouichi, Hoshino Mizo, Tachibana Kan, Ozaki Yukiki, etc. as instructors To cultivate aviation talents needed by the revolution, in May 4, while appointing the military general of the Northeast Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, Sakamoto Shouichi was appointed as the consultant of the Air Force of the Chinese Revolutionary Army and the commander-in-chief of the Air Force of the Northeast Army.

On May 5 of that year, Sun Yat-sen decided to send planes to Shandong to help the war, and moved the "Chinese Revolutionary Party Aviation School" to Weixian, reorganizing it into the "Discussion Yuan Aircraft Team", ordering it to "continue training while participating in combat, so as to strengthen the rebel army. He appointed Hu Hanxian as the management director of the aircraft team, Liu Jimou as assistant, translator and general affairs, Ma Shaobo as accountant, Han Kun as secretary and recorder, Ma Chaojun as adjutant, and more than 24 trainees as pilots.

According to Sun Yat-sen's request, the aircraft team was divided into three teams: each team was equipped with 10 pilots and 2 mechanics, and was equipped with American JN-4 aircraft, American Curtiss JN-5 aircraft, and French Shearwind aircraft. One each, led by Hu Hanxian, Liu Jimou, and Li She. They left Kobe, Japan in June, arrived in Qingdao in July, and then transferred to Weixian by train. Among the planes transported to China, there were Sakamoto's own biplanes , the Curtiss Janney trainer plane donated by overseas Chinese in the United States, and a monoplane preserved by Makino for the late Tsunezaburo Ditian, mobilized by Mr. Sakamoto and Shoyoshi Meu. Island is responsible for the maintenance of the aircraft.

The Qiuyuan Aircraft Team is in Weixian County. They chose the open space to the west of Leigu Mountain, 3 miles south of the city, and used it as an airport after renovation. They will start low-altitude flights in August. The altitude is within 8-600 meters, and the flight time is 1000 hour. Those who can perform driving tasks, There were only a few Japanese instructors, including Sakamoto and Tachibana Kan, and the aviation students could only do ground gliding. When the plane took off, it either dropped leaflets or hovered at low altitude over the Beiyang Army-occupied area around Weixian County to intimidate the enemy. Tin cans were made into bombs, and they were thrown from the plane, and the plane flew into the sky, alarming the people in Weixian County who saw the plane for the first time. Urban and rural residents flocked to the streets, some threw hats into the sky, and some shouted hoarse.

"Using an airplane to fly over the enemy, sprinkle sweating medicine, and make the enemy fall asleep. We don't need to shoot or shoot, but just capture prisoners. Isn't this a great revolution in warfare?" I don't know if it is Sun Wen I don't know if it's true or not, but it's a bit dumbfounding to say these words.

At the beginning, Juzheng sent an aircraft team to scare the Beiyang Army, so that Weixian was taken lightly, and then Zhang Shuyuan took the initiative to retreat to avoid the enemy, so that Juzheng overestimated his own power, especially the deterrent effect of the aircraft. Therefore, the Battle of Taohuashan Hou Juzheng did not intend to compromise, but instead deployed troops to prepare for a counterattack.

After the Battle of Taohuashan, the SS Qiu Guozhu also advanced to Jinling Town and dug trenches there.

There was another roar of engines in the distant air. The SS soldiers had long been used to it these days, and the planes of the Revolutionary Party came to reconnaissance. However, they only circled overhead a few times and threw a few Improvised bombs made of tin cans or leaflets were sprinkled and then walked away. The SS soldiers continued to dig trenches after swearing twice.

At first, the SS soldiers didn't take it seriously, but after a lot of times, they found it really annoying to have big flies buzzing above their heads.

After a long time, Qiu Guozhu couldn't bear it anymore, and ordered a few SS soldiers to carry the Maxim machine gun. The bullets on the ammunition belt seemed to be made of gold, glowing with golden light. The machine gunner skillfully put the machine gun on To the machine gun rack, and then opened the latch, Maxim's muzzle pointed in the air.

Following the command of the commander, the sound of gunshots resounded through the sky, and a dozen Maxim machine guns fired into the air at the same time, and the whips composed of flames spit out were intertwined and woven into a firepower.

The Japanese pilots had never been hit by ground fire, so they panicked and desperately wanted to climb higher, but this Curtiss trainer climbed very slowly, and the fastest flying speed was only [-] kilometers, and they wanted to hide The barrage fired by so many Maxim heavy machine guns is simply a dream.

The fuselage made of wood and canvas was soon riddled with holes, and the fuel tank was also punctured. What's more, the fuel of the plane is not expensive aviation kerosene, but flammable and volatile gasoline. A row of bullets pierced the fuel tank of the plane, and the flammable gasoline caught fire. The wooden biplane turned into a ball of fire, rolled and fell in the air, and fell to pieces.

There was a thunderous cheer from the SS infantry on the ground.

Qiu Guozhu spat on the ground, smiled and cursed and said, "Damn it, I'm a bumpkin, and I can scare your grandfather and me by flying an airplane!"

"Brothers, listen up~" Qiu Guozhu shouted to the soldiers who were still cheering: "Send a squad to the place where the plane fell to see if there is any burnt leftovers. No matter what we say, we shot down a plane." Airplane!"

"Yes." The SS soldiers searched the crash site, and unexpectedly found the pilot Hu Hanxian who survived by chance.
