.    Chapter 381: Blast me back

    In Hushitai, north of Fengtian, two propellers made buzzing noises in the field airport covering hundreds of acres. Hundreds of soldiers in the three-row conjoined military camp next to it were busy. There were several similar aircraft in the simple hangar further away.  The aircraft is on standby.

    Airport construction was one of the highlights of the 1913 National Defense Fiscal Year. A total of 21 airports of various types were built across the country. It seems like a lot but the price is not expensive. The main reason is that the requirements for airports are not high at present, and most runways only need to be compacted with soil.  Just flat.  Since the establishment of the Air Force in 1912, China has become the country with the largest investment in military aviation. In fiscal year 2013 alone, it allocated more than 6 million yuan (about 3 million U.S. dollars). In the same year, Germany and France, which had the largest expenditures on military aviation industry, excluding construction costs  The expensive airship only cost $4.7 million in total.

    With the support of this level of funding, the National Defense Force currently has a total of more than 150 military aircraft. Compared with the United States, which has only 4, the Japanese army and navy have only 27 aircraft combined. They have also trained 353 aircraft.  A pilot.

    Since the breakthrough in engine technology at the beginning of the year, a series of new aircraft have begun to enter the engineering stage, the most important of which is the imitation Curtiss JN-4 Jenny trainer/reconnaissance aircraft that is preparing to take off.  Saying that imitation is just a psychological effect of Yang Qiu, because the historical "Jenny" did not enter service until 2016. It was also chosen because this aircraft was one of the best training aircraft during the First World War.

    However, Feng Ru and the others did not directly copy the drawings. Instead, they made improvements to this classic trainer aircraft. The biggest change was to replace the wavy curved wings, which are very difficult to process, and use the fusion-welded steel tube frame and cantilever beam pioneered by Anthony Fokker.  The wing design is not only simple to manufacture but also has better flight quality. In addition, the technology used in the development of V-type engines is used to increase the power of the Curtiss Bull 5 engine from 90 horsepower to 110 horsepower, taking into account the need to fly farther while taking into account reconnaissance.  A 5-liter fuel tank has been added, so that the speed, ceiling and range are much larger than the original model.

    Of course, the name has also been completely changed, called "Sparrow".

    As for whose bad taste the name came from, there is no need to explain.

    Professional ground crews are also a new technology and are very difficult to recruit, because ground crews must not only be literate but also familiar with mechanical knowledge. It is impossible for China, which lacks technical background, to find ground crews that can be used immediately, so the current ground crews  They are all carefully selected and need to intern in a machinery factory or aircraft factory for at least one year before they can start their job.

    The small number of ground support personnel restricted the growth of the air force, so Yang Qiu has not officially changed to the ** Air Force establishment.

    Since silk parachutes are still being tested, the pilots currently in the sky are real warriors. They fearlessly get into unprotected cockpits to prevent encounters with enemy aircraft. There is also a light machine gun next to the rear-seat scout cockpit.  , after hanging the camera around their necks and fastening their seat belts, several ground soldiers suddenly released their wheel blocks, and the two "Sparrows" burst into the blue sky with a burst of cheers.

    Sasaki didn't know that the style of war had quietly changed. He sat on an ammunition box with his comrades from the railway garrison and carefully wiped the Type 30 rifle in his hand. Next to him was an admission notice from Army University.  Book.

    "If you want to become a China expert, you must first apply for Army University." This is a well-known saying within the Japanese Army. Being in a military family, Sasaki Toichi also wanted to become a China expert and contribute to the Imperial Army, but because of his young age  Feng Liu spent too much energy on prostitutes, and finally took the exam six times before finally being admitted.

    Originally, there was a smooth road in front of him. He entered the mainland, became an officer, and then returned to China to continue his journey of conquest.  But all this was shattered by the sudden outbreak of war. When he learned that the Chinese Communist Party had crossed the Liaohe River and began to clear out the Manchu Army from village to county, he realized that Japan would definitely declare war. Sure enough, he got the order that night and fought with  A total of more than a thousand railway guards from various places on the South Manchuria Railway evacuated to the Nanfen Coal and Iron Mine and joined the 16th Division Engineer Regiment stationed here.

    The 16th Division is a permanent division, and like the Fifth Division, it is one of the few divisions that rotates and is stationed in North Korea and Guandong Prefecture. Its special nature requires the army to ensure sufficient strength all year round, especially after the Han Yeping incident, Benxi Baofen Coal and Iron  The mine has become Japan's most important source of iron ore, so the 16th Division specially sent an engineering team of more than a thousand people to station for a long time.

    Unlike the slightly nervous second-line soldiers of the Railway Guard, the soldiers of the 16th Division were all excited. All the machine guns and cannons were pulled out. While wiping their guns, they muttered: "Inamoto-kun, I heard that the Chinese Army  It was different before, there were a lot of machine guns and cannons.¡±

    "I've heard about it too, but I don't think there's a threat. They used to have only five divisions, but now there are as many as 22 after the country's reunification. No matter how many cannons and machine guns they have, they will be diluted, not to mention those cannons and machine guns.  It was sold to them by the Germans, unlike our Empire of Japan, which can already build super battleships.cannon.  "

    "As long as we protect this place, we may be able to equip the Type 38 15mm cannon in a few years."

    "I heard that there are only two regiments coming towards us. Do they think that two regiments can defeat us?"

    "What I want to know most is whether they will be so scared that they wet their pants when they suddenly find us standing in front of them after chasing those useless Manchu and Mongolian troops."

    "Even if you wet your pants, I will kill them all!" Sasaki joined the chat and patted the rifle that had been polished so hard that a human figure could be seen: "Completely obtain the Manchuria and Mongolia continent for His Majesty the Emperor."

    "The Emperor is on board!"

    One or two Japanese soldiers shouted wildly. At this moment, the sharp whistle that they had been waiting for all day finally sounded. Sasaki, who had been impatient for a long time, quickly inserted his bright bayonet.  Six 75mm Meiji-38 field guns behind the position were quickly put into place, two Hotchkiss heavy machine guns were deployed crosswise, and barrel bayonets protruded from bunkers and trenches. Japan's elite veterans quickly completed all defense preparations.

    When Sasaki arrived and took advantage of the commander's observation, he also took out an old-fashioned monocular telescope, which he took out from the train station during the evacuation. This thing is said to be a vintage item seized from Beiyang back then.  Through the lenses, he quickly saw the situation clearly, and saw a Chinese cavalry chasing more than 300 Manchu Army cavalry.

    "Trash, these trash!"

    When he saw that the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, which was twice as many in number, were being chased by the enemy in a panic. From time to time, someone fell off his horse and died. Sasaki was so angry that he cursed, and the soldiers around him also crowded over to ask about the situation.

    Colonel Ai Takeda is a direct disciple of Lieutenant General Yusaku Uehara, the father of Japanese engineers. Compared with other traditional army officers who love thick cannon barrels, he believes that engineers are the key to determining the outcome of a war, because engineers can both fight and ensure  Transporting supplies is the most important addition.  Since receiving the order to garrison in Nanfen, he has given full play to his engineering skills and built a large number of civil fortifications centered on the Nanfen coal and iron mines. According to himself, he can definitely withstand the attack of an elite regiment.

    If you can block an elite regiment, are you still afraid of two regiments that are moving towards here?  So when he saw his "allies" being beaten and running away, he immediately waved his hand: "Use cannon to warn them."

    As soon as the words fell, the Japanese artillerymen who had been waiting impatiently opened fire immediately. Six artillery shells fell directly between the two cavalrymen. Soon after the smoke and fireballs forcibly separated them, hundreds of Manchus who were already being chased were frothing at the sight.  * Lijun nodded and bowed his head as if he had seen his savior and thanked him profusely.

    Takeda Ai despised these people, but who asked the military to order all efforts to protect them, so he had to impatiently ask people to take them down to rest.  At this moment, the National Defense Force cavalry in charge of negotiations came carrying a white flag. The cavalry with a bit of a big tongue saw Takeda Ai and directly asked for his release: "We don't want to destroy the friendship between China and Japan. Please release our prisoners immediately, otherwise you will  Bear all the consequences!¡±

    Takeda Ai was stunned when he heard this. Isn't this attitude and tone the lines of the Imperial Japanese Army in the past?  The roles were changed all of a sudden, and I really felt a little uncomfortable. When did the Chinese army dare to come to the territory of the Empire of Japan to arrest people?

    "Get out of here, this is Japanese industry." Takeda Ai drove away the cavalry without politeness. After receiving the report, Fang Wei on the opposite side became even more gloomy. Without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and ordered the cannon to be set up to start fighting.

    Every unit has its own personality. After Yu Dehai became famous in Nanjing, everyone in the 2nd Brigade was infected with his fiery temper. Fang Wei, the commander of the 22nd Regiment, also had this stinky behavior.  The battalion and company commanders all called over and cursed: "What the fuck! You have all seen that little Japan is determined to protect those traitors this time. In this case, don't blame me for being rude. Just watch.  There are hills around here, making it difficult to defend and attack, and there are an unknown number of cannons over there, so please cheer up"

    Feng Delin stood aside and watched Fang Wei's deployment. He was an old Fengjun officer. He is now the commander of the 442nd Regiment of the 14th Division (2nd Regiment of the 44th Brigade). This time, after Fengjun and the original Beiyang 20th Division merged into the 14th Infantry Division of the National Defense Force,  He just opened his eyes to what a regular army is.  Not to mention anything else, after completing the formation and starting training, Commander Yang directly ordered 88 light and heavy machine guns, an artillery regiment of 36 75-guns, and 24 80mm small steel cannons (mortars) with a wave of his hand. Half a year ago  In addition, they were all replaced with self-produced new Type 12 rifles with 200 grenade launchers.

    At that time, all the old Fengjun and Beiyang officers, including Zhang Zuolin, were suppressed. I was glad from the bottom of my heart that I didn't confront them. This firepower was too strong!  This also made the 14th Division suddenly jump from the edge to a first-class division directly affiliated with the National Defense Forces.  Excitement and excitement are inevitable. People like them used to be able to show off by carrying a 57mm cannon. When have they ever been so arrogant?  !

    But he is the knife edge after all.Born as a bloody old bandit, he understands how powerful the Japanese army is, especially the veterans who are extremely difficult to deal with. He is still a little worried in his heart: "Captain Fang, looking at the posture just now, there are six or seven cannons. The intelligence said that the Railway Guards  We are also here, there are about 2,000 troops in total, why don¡¯t we wait and ask for permission first?¡±

    Fang Wei scratched his head, didn¡¯t he say that this guy used to be a horse bandit leader who was fearless?  Back then, I had strangled Zhang Zuolin several times, so how come I have changed my behavior now?  He shook his head and said seriously: "There is no time to wait. An elite Japanese regiment has already crossed the river from Sinuiju, North Korea. If we don't capture this place first, one regiment of Japanese troops can rely on this terrain to defend a division's attack! Japan is so ambitious that it will fight on its own.  After we drove them away from Han Yeping, they dug up our country's coal and iron from here. Last year alone, 50,000 tons of refined iron sand and 300,000 tons of coal were transported here! They took blood from us to make cannons,  Build a warship! Come and attack us after you build it. Commander Feng, can you think about it? Now is the time when Japan is at its weakest. There are only 2,000 Japanese soldiers in front of us. Our 1st Division and your 14th Division are both.  It¡¯s a first-class division, why are you afraid of a miscellaneous army with incomplete equipment?¡±

    Although the 14th Division has been training with the 1st Division since its establishment, after leaving the door, I realized that it was still not as good as others. Only when I said these words did I finally understand where the difference lies, and that is the determination to win!  When he went out, Commander Yue and the division commander both warned that if they encounter the Japanese army, they can attack first. Now they are directly waiting for them with artillery. If they back down, he has no place to show his old face. He gritted his teeth and said: "Yes! I will accompany you this time to go crazy!"  "

    As soon as he finished speaking, two "Sparrows" sprang out from the thorns and began to fly in circles around the coal and iron mining area. In order to test whether the Japanese army still had concealed firepower, Fang Wei immediately waved his hand with Feng Delin's support.

    "You dare to hit me with a cannon? Blow me back!"
