479 aerial reconnaissance

In Pingyang County. Pei Yuanshao was still not satisfied with the results of the battle, and in the end they captured more than 3,000 people from the other side. According to preliminary statistics, they killed nearly 2,000 people, and logically speaking, the results should be very good. But they did not annihilate the opposing Supreme Commander. The Huns' big single Yu was not caught. This made Pei Yuanshao feel a little annoyed.

"Alas, what's the use of taking so many captives?" Pei Yuanshao looked at the Hun captives with dull eyes and lifelessness and said. These people still want to give them food, and he feels very angry when he thinks about it.

"Damn, what's the use of these brutes, they should all be killed. Kill these brutes. Pei Yuanshao stood up and rushed towards the captive, but was quickly stopped by the guards platoon.

"Sir, don't embarrass us. Don't embarrass us. "A large number of guards grabbed Pei Yuanshao, this is Zhou Cang's order. He dismissed Pei Yuanshao from all his duties. Because when he had just captured the Huns, he actually hacked and killed two people at once, and he caused serious injuries to one person. It can be seen that he is still very ruthless.

Fortunately, Zhou Cang stopped it in time and ordered the other party to be disarmed, which led to the fact that there was no time for the large-scale massacre of the Huns, but in some areas, there were still soldiers of the independent brigade who intended to kill the Hun prisoners of war. They were completely in retaliation and took action, and the small-scale Zhou Cang could not control it. However, he had to control this blatant massacre, otherwise the whole incident would go crazy all at once. The slaughter will spread, killing the red eye, and the independent brigade of the Republican Army for revenge does not know what kind of chaos is coming.

"Sir. Stop. "Several people are desperately trying to intercept. Only then did he intercept Pei Yuanshao, but Pei Yuanshao still felt very aggrieved, indeed, he was very aggrieved, he felt very aggrieved. In this battle, in fact, the Republican Army was lost. They were killed by one of the commanders. And the Huns lost only part of their soldiers. Officers are hard to find, especially high-ranking officers. And the Hun soldiers on the other side can be replenished. Come to think of it. Pei Yuanshao wanted to kill all these Hun prisoners of war. But the guards grabbed Pei Yuanshao to death, and the massacre must not happen, once it happens on a large scale, the consequences will be unimaginable. Because of the repeated emphasis from the headquarters that prisoners cannot be killed at will, similar things have actually happened in many situations in the independent brigade, and once it is dealt with, what will be the result? It's going to be a lot of trouble.

"Ugh." Zhou Cang was also annoyed, but there was no way, this was an order. Such a battle. It was already unfavorable to them, their forces were too small, and the enemy was too many, they had a lot of tasks, blocking, besieging, annihilating the enemy, plus the slow movement of artillery, directly caused their situation to not be very good. This is actually quite good.

Over the Hedong battlefield, a huge airship is slowly advancing, this is the Republican Army's reconnaissance airship, Flying Eagle**. He can quickly provide reconnaissance status within fifty miles of the battlefield, and there are a large number of reconnaissance cavalry below to cooperate with the operation, on the one hand, to provide protection, on the other hand, they will get some specific information, after all, if the distance is long, some of the signal flares they throw will not work. That's when they throw paper reconnaissance reports. The report is packed in a small bamboo tube. Then the cavalry passed on such a reconnaissance report and launched a plan of action.

The airship uses a hot air airship, which is relatively stable and mature. Lieutenant Chen Yi is operating the airship, and his deputy is a flight sergeant named Zhang Wu, the airship can only carry two people, but the flight on the battlefield is enough to make people feel very surprised. This is the first time that the Republican Army has used such equipment for reconnaissance in actual combat.

"Still no target found." Sergeant Zhang Wu turned the telescope and reported. They are equipped with high-powered telescopes that can see 10,000 steps of unexpected places, and if the weather is clear, the reconnaissance effect will be better. This type of telescope is fixed to it because the lenses are made larger. It is said that the price of such a high-powered telescope is more than five thousand yuan. The entire telescope is made of fine iron, which is quite different to the touch. The number of such telescopes is very small.

Being able to operate such a telescope, for them, is a miracle in itself.

"Keep searching, we must find the target as soon as possible, the cavalry is waiting for us to attack." Lieutenant Chen Yi said.

Chen Yi felt very proud to be able to become an early air force, and the people of Hedong were also the first time to see such a thing, and when they saw the airship for the first time, especially when they saw the Republican soldiers standing on it, everyone was shocked. Some of the old people knelt directly below, which caused more people to kneel. After all, for thousands of years. People's subconscious belief is that only gods can fly. And those who can fly must be immortals. So, there's nothing very wrong with their bowing.

However, the IRA persuaded them on the spot, and they also made some demonstrations, and even invited a few daring villagers to experience it. It was only at such an invitation that they understood that this was a technique of the Republican Army. It's something called "science and technology."

The flight was wonderful and aroused the interest of many local children. Because for the first time, they saw something that could fly. This is much more than they imagined. This was the first time they realized that humans could fly into the air. The sky is not a dream for man. It's achievable.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi felt very proud. This sense of pride makes them feel very wonderful.

However, this is not the time for them to be beautiful, they still need to conduct careful reconnaissance, or they must come up with the best intelligence to support their situation.
