Chapter 521: Air Combat (1)
Chapter 521
"General Dong, there is something to do under your subordinates, you can sit down for a while." Kong Xinhua arched his hand and said.
Dong Hushan is an interesting person, looking at Kong Xinhua's expression just now, he didn't expect it to be a serious matter, so he naturally wouldn't say no. And now, in his heart, Kong Xinhua is an extremely important person, and he hurriedly responded: "Mr. Kong, please please." ”
Kong Xinhua smiled and exited the room, and hurriedly came to a small cubicle at the end of the corridor, which is usually used for the personal servants of the distinguished guests who came here to rest, and now there are only two people in the cubicle, one is the guy who reported to Kong Xinhua just now, and the other is Zhang Wei. Kong Xinhua had seen Zhang Wei before, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Mr. Kong, what is the situation now?" I really didn't expect to meet you here. ”
Kong Xinhua sighed, seeing that Zhang Wei was indifferent, knowing that he must have checked the surroundings, there should be no problem talking here. But he still lowered his voice and said: "Now I am in trouble, although I have always insisted that I do not want to enter the Northern Liao officialdom, but the task of delivering the airship still falls into my hands." Now, at the south gate of Tanli, there are twenty airships being assembled, and they can reach the point of being ready to take off at any time within an hour. ”
"Oh," Zhang Wei just replied lightly: "The airship can't be lifted off at night, and it can't do anything when it goes up." What does it matter. ”
Kong Xinhua frowned, and said a little anxiously: "The army should be marching in the past few days, right?" If I inflict any loss on the army, I will not be able to redeem it. ”
Zhang Wei shrugged his shoulders and said, "The army has already marched in, and if it goes well, we will be able to reach Tanli early tomorrow morning." I don't think there's a problem. We are going to assassinate Dong Hushan, and we will toss a few more times at night, for fear of hurting you...... Mr. Kong, you must be careful yourself, but our brothers will also pay attention, and once the fight starts, you must find a corner and stay first. ”
Kong Xinhua wanted to say something more, wanting to persuade Zhang Wei to deal with the airship team on the Northern Liao side, so as not to cause unnecessary losses for the Dongping army, but Zhang Wei just waved his hand easily. He leaned next to Kong Xinhua and said, "Mr. Kong, don't worry. When it comes to playing airships, no one can compare to Ye Shuai. As far as you can imagine, the army is all ready. Early tomorrow morning, the army will appear outside Tanli, how can there be no airship team? ”
Although Kong Xinhua is still a little worried, since Zhang Wei has already said so, he is not familiar with military affairs, and he can only hope that Zhang Wei has not overestimated his strength.
Mr. Kong...... Do you have a chance to master Tanli's forces? Even if...... Just today for a day? Zhang Wei realized that Kong Xinhua was in Tanli, and in the minds of Dong Hushan and his subordinates, it was very weighty. After all, he came directly from Yanjing, and he also brought the airship team, although the airship team is directly subordinate to the royal family, but in terms of actual use, he, a guy who has made great efforts in the construction of airships in Northern Liao, definitely has the right to speak. Even if he can't directly control the airship team, at least his suggestion, the airship team, which is nervously doing combat preparations, will definitely take it to heart. In the case of changes in Tanli, the airship team will also value his opinion more than so-and-so...... Especially an unexpected officer. In this case, if Kong Xinhua can master the defense of Tanli overnight, or even just have a relatively large say in a few hours, it will be a very beneficial thing for the Dongping army, which will attack in a big way tomorrow.
In terms of planning conspiracy, Zhang Wei, who has been doing raids, raids, harassment and sabotage, is not Kong Xinhua's opponent. Hearing the song and knowing the meaning of elegance, Kong Xinhua frowned, and sighed: "If I master the defense of Tanli for one night, then tomorrow the Dongping army will attack, and I will be a defeated general." When I return to Yanjing, I will probably be told that I am not officially in the Northern Liao Imperial Court, but the bullet seal can't hit my head, but there is always some trouble. You see...... You take out Dong Hushan, and then I try to stir up the situation. …… I realized the danger, but after a night of hard work, I still couldn't move the generals. Before dawn, I departed gloomily, and then ...... Tanri fell, if he said so...... Although I am embarrassed, I am helpless. Brother Zhang, what do you think of this? ”
Zhang Wei's eyes lit up, he gave a thumbs up, he patted Kong Xinhua's shoulder, arched his hand and left by himself. He and Kong Xinhua have too many things to do this night, and they are all on the edge of the cliff, so they can't take a wrong step, otherwise, they will pay the price of blood. Although in front of Kong Xinhua, Zhang Wei said that he had complete confidence in his own airship team, but since he knew that the other party also had a force in the air, he did not forget to report it to the above. Through that communication channel, a brief message was sent, and then it was relayed twice, and within half an hour it reached a building with a telegraph line. Then, this information will be presented to the command center of Zhongjun Town as soon as possible. As for what kind of decision was made above, it was not Zhang Wei's business.
Sniping Dong Hushan is much easier than expected. In the past, the assassination of an important person often required a group of men and horses, and they were prepared to make great sacrifices to succeed. But now, with sniper rifles and snipers, it is much easier to take out a person remotely and then evacuate safely. After all, guns have a longer range than bows and arrows, and when a sniper rifle fires, the sniper is lying on his stomach, and the frontal target is very small, so he can't be detected by the guards who are always watching the movement around them.
Dong Hushan originally invited Kong Xinhua to the terrace of the restaurant to look at the night view of Tanli, and also to see how loyal and brave his personal soldiers were guarding around the restaurant, but unexpectedly, a bullet passed through the chamber and killed him on the spot. Kong Xinhua was "frightened" a lot, but not long after being surrounded by his relatives and returning to the room in the restaurant, he "suddenly" thought of something. He immediately told Dong Hushan's deputy, who was in a panic, to immediately send someone to protect the mooring ground of the airship.
"This ...... This...... But how can life be good? "People like Dong Hushan are extremely confident in their command ability and don't pay much attention to their staff. And now he is in Tanli, located at the forefront of the confrontation between the two armies, may be attacked at any time, Dong Hushan before coming here, he said to Gao Senqi not too "smart" subordinates, and Gao Senqi arranged for his deputy, more than loyal and brave, insufficient strain, if Dong Hushan is safe and sound, naturally this is an excellent match, Dong Hushan can completely maintain his authority. But now, this lieutenant named Sangchinguo is a little unsure of what to do.
"General Sang, you also know that the team escorting the airship this time is highly valued by the imperial court. Now, the Dongping scout is already in Tanli, and if something happens, I am not an official of the DPRK or the army, and I am afraid that I will not be able to escape the blame. General Sang, the most important thing now is to stabilize the situation, maintain stability in Tanli, and then report to General Gao quickly while guarding the Dongping army. Kong Xinhua said earnestly.
Seeing that several pro-soldier captains under Dong Hushan's command were noisily starting to gather teams to search in all directions, several neighborhoods in this vicinity were noisy for a while. And Dong Hushan's personal soldiers are extremely loyal to Dong Hushan, and they don't have the heart to extort finances at this moment, but they are rude and rude, and it is inevitable that they will use their hands or even knives at every turn...... Sang Qinguo is only a little sluggish, he can be arranged to be Dong Hushan's deputy, and he has won Dong Hushan's trust, Sang Qinguo's ability is self-evident. He frowned, pondered for a while, and immediately ordered: "Mr. Kong, I am not familiar with the affairs of the airship, and the people who escorted the airship team came from Yanjing with you, even if they are not under your command, at least they will give you some face." The matter of this airship mooring, please ask Mr. Kong to worry more, I will arrange two people to be by your side, and you can tell them if you need anything. ”
Kong Xinhua was not dissatisfied with such an arrangement, which was tantamount to acquiescing in his temporary control over the airship team. When the time comes, whether it happens or not, he has a complete reason to shirk it. He arched his hand with Sang Qinguo again, said a few words casually, and hurried to the airship mooring. With the airship team and the forbidden army escorting the airship in his hands, he can be fearless in this chaotic situation.
The situation is really chaotic, Sang Qinguo doesn't want the news of Dong Hushan's death to spread too quickly, now that the big war is imminent, once Tanli is in chaos, I'm afraid it will be troublesome to clean it up. So he personally led a regiment of sergeants to control Dong Hushan's personal soldiers, and persuaded the captain of the personal soldiers to stabilize the situation in Tanli before the news leaked further. However, the message had already spread in Tanli, and the news that Sang Qinguo had colluded with the Dongping army with the intention of giving up the city for his life, and that he had set up a bureau to besiege and kill Dong Hushan soon spread. Outside the city, however, a blazing fire broke out, reflecting half of the sky...... In less than an hour, the news came that a certain unit of the Yunzhou army attacked the military horse farm, and then defeated a certain nearby cavalry that went to investigate...... This kind of news makes the message finally real
Kong Xinhua originally thought that he could take advantage of the chaos and find ways to influence the situation in Danli, and even get rid of him through those who did not trust Sangqin State. But what I didn't expect was that neither Kong Xinhua nor Zhang Wei's department could find a good enough opportunity. Sang Qinguo actually single-handedly visited the chief officers of the Tanli armies one by one, and everyone was relieved of him. Sang Qinguo has always been a good man, and everyone has a good impression of him, and his actions have made him quickly win the trust of the generals. However, since the power that can be assassinated from a distance is still at large, everyone resolutely let Sangqin Guoju issue an order to protect him tightly. Later, Sang Qin sent someone to tell Kong Xinhua that a battalion of soldiers had been transferred to the vicinity of the mooring ground...... However, due to the fact that a group of troops went out of the city to investigate what was going on in the military horse farm, the troops in Tanli were a little nervous, and for the time being, they could only let the forbidden army pay more attention to safety issues. Kong Xinhua could only sigh that the best opportunity was lost, he didn't expect that a person like Sang Qinguo would really settle down the situation. However, Kong Xinhua was not much nervous, after a night of tossing, when the dust settled, the sky had already begun to brighten. Kong Xinhua knew that in an hour or two, I was afraid that the Yunzhou army would appear in the field of vision of the city wall in Tanli......
Kong Xinhua watched the airships complete the preparations one by one, although the Northern Liao airship soldiers who had been trained for a period of time were nervous, but they boarded the airships in an extremely orderly manner to prepare for the first flight reconnaissance mission in Tanli, he cheered for these soldiers, and praised the officers, while secretly sneering in his heart: "Let me see, whose ...... is in this sky?"
