Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 525 Destroying Yuan
"Very good!" Cai E nodded in satisfaction, "How many planes can the Air Force have?"

"We now have a total of six fighter formations, fourteen tactical bomber brigades, and a total of more than 100 combat aircraft of various types. As long as you give an order, the whole line can be dispatched at any time!"

"Okay! Since street fighting is not easy to fight, we will carry out a full-line bombing tomorrow to pull out several major fortifications in the urban area of ​​Singapore, and more importantly, to attack the confidence of the rebels to resist!"

"Yes!"

Early the next morning, a vision suddenly appeared in the sky over Singapore. Accompanied by a huge roar, a large area of ​​dense black spots appeared in the sky. These black spots gradually enlarged under the sunlight, revealing the outline of the plane.

"Airplanes! So many airplanes? Singapore is over this time!" Many citizens looked up at the sky restlessly, or lowered their heads and sighed. They had never seen so many aircraft battle clusters. Could it be that they want Singapore to be completely wiped out from the earth? Disappeared?
The bomber unit began to climb slowly, and the two navigation planes reached the designated target and dropped the target indicator bomb.The black bomb exploded 80 meters above the ground.The orange flames turned into two fire dragons, engulfing the entire area in an instant.Thereby indicating the target for subsequent aircraft.A large number of planes that arrived later entered sequentially at a single plane interval of 15 meters.Dropped bombs on the western part of Singapore at an altitude of 800 meters.Bombs rained down on the city's fortifications.The wind whistle on the top of the bomb blew piercingly.Following explosions one after another, mushroom clouds of various sizes slowly gathered, swallowing everything around them.Under the action of the wind, the black clouds began to rotate continuously, which was daunting!
After the first wave of bombing was completed, the aircraft formation folded its wings and returned.But Singaporeans did not breathe a sigh of relief as soon there was an even louder roar in the sky.This is the transport fleet of the Second Air Force, which is fully loaded with incendiary bombs. When the bombs are dropped, two soldiers move the incendiary bombs from the cabin in bundles to the hatch on the side of the fuselage, and then pass through a " "Potato funnel"-like droppers.The incendiary bomb filled with a mixture of solid white phosphorus and gasoline caught fire immediately after falling to the ground.The rebels in the fortifications were burned alive inside before they could figure out the situation.The size of this kind of bomb is relatively small, and the damage caused is not very obvious, but this destructive strike method has successfully caused the spirit of the rebels to collapse!
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Cai E ordered the Air Force to attack again.One hundred bombers carried out fixed-point bombing on the main fortifications in the already ruined urban area.In addition, more than a dozen bombing formations also called the rebel defense lines outside the urban area one by one.In total, the air force dispatched [-] sorties of bombing clusters within one day, dropping [-] tons of bombs on Singapore, and the periphery of the urban area became a sea of ​​flames.

This day is like a torment in purgatory for the citizens and the army of Singapore!
At eight o'clock in the morning, Singapore's dire air defense sirens sounded again. 10 minutes later. More than 100 planes flew over Singapore again, but unlike yesterday, these planes did not fly in a dense formation, but formed a formation of [-] planes, and spread out after flying over the city center.

This time, instead of dropping bombs, countless white leaflets were dropped, like snowflakes flying all over the sky, falling on every corner of downtown Singapore.

After the planes left, the curious citizens and soldiers quietly picked up the piece of paper on the ground, and saw that it read: "Singaporeans, you have been surrounded by the imperial army. Yesterday's bombing was just the beginning. It is also a warning, these are all necessary measures we have taken to avoid unnecessary bloodshed and destruction. For the safety of you and your family, please rush to Johor Bahru immediately, the end of Yuan Shikai has come, but you are still the empire People, there are only three hours, please act now!"

Government House of Singapore.

Yuan Shikai held a leaflet with trembling hands, and his face was bloodless. The opponent's move was too insidious. If this happened, the hearts of Singaporeans would definitely be shaken. Could it be that this day is really the end of my Yuan Shikai? ?
At this moment, Duan Zhigui staggered in, and his voice changed: "Godfather, godfather, something is wrong! All Singaporeans fled from the beginning to the direction of Johor Bahru, even though the Public Security Bureau dispatched military police to carry out force Suppression, but it can't be controlled at all, those Singaporeans are crazy, shoot at them and they will rush forward"

Yuan Shikai was not very surprised, he waved his hand weakly: "Let them go."

Duan Zhigui was taken aback. He didn't expect Yuan Shikai to be indifferent to this matter. He licked his lips and said, "What's worse is that the morale of the army has been completely shaken. Our defenders put down their guns, changed into ordinary clothes, and followed the crowd towards Xinshan. Run, plus yesterday’s bombing caused heavy casualties to our army, now we only have more than 2000 people left.” Speaking of this, Duan Zhigui fell to his knees with a plop, and said bitterly: "Godfather, let's surrender. There is no way to continue the fight. There may be a way to surrender now. If you continue to resist, you will only die."

Yuan Shikai suddenly sat up straight, his eyes sparkled, and he said word by word: "Surrender? You can figure it out. Will the emperor give us a way out? What we have committed is treason, maybe the emperor will have us Everyone lit up the sky lanterns!"

Duan Zhigui was speechless all of a sudden, the back of his neck was blowing cold air.

At this moment, Lu Zongyu stumbled in and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, the Huwei army dispatched three infantry divisions and captured most of the urban area with overwhelming momentum. Now we are about to rush to the governor's mansion." Here we come, my lord has already made a decision."

Yuan Shikai smiled wryly: "Sooner or later, what is supposed to come will come. I have already expected such a day. Now we can't fight or run. There is no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. What do you want me to do?" decide."

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Keding, Yuan Kewen, and many concubines of Yuan Shikai ran over from the back house crying, and Yuan Keding said with snot and tears: "Father, the imperial army is coming, what should we do, what should we do?" , Keding is still young, I don't want to die, father, you should say something."

Yuan Kewen and Yuan Shikai's aunts and wives also cried to Yuan Shikai. For a while, there was a lot of crying in the governor's mansion, and the noise knocked off the tiles on the roof.

Yuan Shikai sat there like a dead man, allowing others to push and push, and his usual arrogance and majesty disappeared.

"Everyone be quiet, listen to me!" Lu Zongyu suddenly yelled with all his strength, and the room was completely silent, and everyone turned their attention to him, hoping for a glimmer of hope.

"My lord, the so-called Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit. Although the ground and the sea are blocked by the imperial army, I have prepared an escape route for my lord in advance. Before the enemy army has completely occupied the urban area, we should go to the city as soon as possible." Let's go, maybe there is still a glimmer of life." Lu Zongyu said.

"Really?" Yuan Shikai grabbed Lu Zongyu's hand, "Where is this road?"

Lu Zongyu thought about it and said: "If we leave immediately, we can catch up. I have learned that although the Nanyang Fleet has blocked several seaports around Singapore, there is still a small ferry in the south of Malacca. There are two of our patrol boats, which are just in case, and it seems that they can be used today, "

"Okay, okay." Yuan Shikai suddenly laughed morbidly, "It seems that there is no unparalleled road. If I, Yuan Shikai, can make a comeback in the future, I will definitely promote you! Quickly, prepare the vehicle and leave immediately. "

"The vehicle is ready, you can start now, let's go, if you don't go, it will be too late." Liang Shiyi rushed over from outside and said.

"Oh, no, I have to bring my jewelry."

"Yes, yes, yes, I also have to bring my golden Buddha."

"And my emerald, cat's eye, suet jade, how can I do without these treasures."

The aunts and wives got into a quarrel, and they all went back to the back house to collect their gold and silver.Yuan Shikai stomped his feet angrily, and was about to scold a few words, when he suddenly heard the faint sound of guns and cannons in the distance, Liang Shiyi and others turned pale, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, the enemy army is coming, if you don't leave, it will be too late gone."

Yuan Shikai glanced in the direction of the back house, gritted his teeth: "Ke Ding, Ke Wen, you don't need to bring anything, just follow me right away."

Yuan Keding said in a daze, "Where are my aunts?"

"I can't wait to see you first. If you take one less person, you will be less burdensome. Later, when your old man makes a comeback, I will marry you a big family and aunt." Yuan Shikai took his two sons, under the protection of Lu Zongyu and others. After leaving the gate of the Governor's Mansion, he boarded a Beijing brand car. The rear of the car spewed out a burst of smoke, and quickly drove into a narrow road next to the Governor's Mansion.As soon as the car left, a woman's scolding and crying could be heard from inside the mansion.

Cai E and Feng Yuxiang were striding down the streets of Singapore, the air was still filled with the smell of burnt after yesterday's bombing, Feng Yuxiang said to Cai E: "Songpo, your strategy of attacking the heart is really not bad. No Thinking that you only used a few hundred tons of explosives and 10,000+ sheets of paper to solve the problem, I will ask you more about war strategy in the future."

Cai E smiled and said, "Actually, this tactic has been used countless times by the ancients thousands of years ago, and this is not the first time it was used in the battle against Yuan. The fan Xu Shuzheng used it once, and we captured that city without bloodshed, or even a single shot, so what I said by the ancients may not be useless, the key is to learn and apply it.”

Feng Yuxiang laughed loudly and said, "I've heard of Xu Shuzheng a long time ago. This person is quite interesting. I heard that he is very unpopular in the army, but he can always come up with tricks to defeat the enemy in key battles."

Cai E was about to say something, an adjutant hurried over and whispered something in Cai E's ear, Cai E suddenly changed color, Feng Yuxiang noticed something different, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Yuan Shikai has escaped!"

what?
