Chapter 254: Air Supremacy (I)
The faces of everyone in the front-line command of the Guangdong army were not good-looking, and Long Jinguang and Xie Linhan, who were overjoyed just now, were also wilted at the moment, and they no longer swallowed the impostors on the opposite side. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
With such a fierce artillery bombardment and such a defeat pouring firepower, except for the Sichuan army, which is famous all over the world, no unit can really do it. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the unit on the opposite side is really an impostor, with such powerful artillery firepower, no matter how bad the combat effectiveness is, it will not be much worse. If you want to take them, it is impossible for the Cantonese army not to pay a heavy price.
After more than half an hour, the heavy shelling of the Sichuan army gradually subsided, and the officers and men in the headquarters of the Guangdong army finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
However, as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, the phone in the command headquarters connecting to the front line rang.
"Bell-bell-"
The crisp sound of the bell stopped after the deafening shelling stopped, and the silence of the headquarters at this moment became particularly harsh.
Knowing that this might be a call from the front line to report on the battle situation, Xie Linhan hurriedly walked over and picked up the phone to answer it.
After picking up the phone and listening to it for a while, Xie Linhan's face changed, and he said in a hurried voice: "Hold the position, the people are in the position!" Don't worry about anything else, the Overseers have arrived with reinforcements! ”
Xie Linhan put down the phone and was about to report the situation to Long Jiguang, when suddenly gunfire rang out in the direction of the frontline position.
"Bang-bang-bang-"
"Da-da-"
The sound of countless rifle and machine gun fire mingled with a force that was no less powerful than the heavy shelling that had preceded it.
At this moment, there is no need for Xie Linhan to report anything, everyone knows that this is a full-scale offensive against the Sichuan army, otherwise it would not be so powerful.
"I'm afraid there are a lot of electric guns, at least much more than us......" The corners of Long Jinguang's mouth twitched slightly, his face was a little pale, he was very glad at the moment that he didn't rashly lead his troops to attack before, otherwise it would be strange if he hit it headlong and didn't break his head and bleed.
"Since you want to pretend to be the main force of the Sichuan army, it will naturally not be bad in terms of weaponry. As long as it is not the real main force of the Sichuan army, it will definitely not be able to resist the all-out attack of our army! Xie Linhan argued to himself, apparently believing that he could not miss the opportunity to attack with all his might, completely crush the opposing army, and then march north.
Long Jiguang did not respond to Xie Linhan's words, but asked, "Do you think, why did Beiyang send us such a telegram?" ”
"This is naturally Beiyang's hope that our army will break through the blockade of the 2nd Division of the Fake Sichuan Army as soon as possible, and then go north to attack Nanjing!" Xie Linhan blurted out.
"Third brother, do you mean that this information told us by Beiyang is false and deliberately fabricated by them? The purpose is to let our Cantonese army attack with all its strength and go north to attack Nanjing as soon as possible? Long Jinguang is not a stupid person, and he suddenly thought of the various promises and rewards that President Yuan gave to Long Jiguang before the war, as well as the 12.15 robbery, all of which were coercive and lured the Cantonese army to Beiyang. Yuan Shikai, that old fox, if he fabricates a piece of false information, he can make the Guangdong army and the Sichuan army die and increase the chances of victory for the Beiyang army, why not?
Moreover, the telegram sent by Beiyang only said that they had received reliable information and that the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army confronting the Cantonese army was fake, and did not make it clear in detail.
Regarding Long Jiguang's speculation, Long Jiguang neither affirmed nor denied it, but said: "Whether this information is true or false, now is not the best time for us to attack with all our might. Even if the opposing force is a fake 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army, even if they are bluffing and are actually vulnerable, we must not attack in a big way until the Southern Coalition Army shows its defeat! ”
For Long Jiguang, who has already stepped onto the political stage, the momentary battle of will and the victory or defeat of the first battle are not important, the important thing is whether the comparison between the benefits paid and the gained is not worth it, or how to obtain the maximum benefits at the minimum cost.
Whether it is the Beiyang Army or the Southern Coalition Army, it is not in Long Jiguang's interests to easily win the war, because it will only make him lose the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and may even completely lose his independent capital.
Only when the Beiyang Army and the Southern Coalition Army were defeated and both defeated, could Long Jiguang be able to profit from the fisherman, take the opportunity to develop and strengthen himself, and then obtain the qualification to participate in the competition for the world.
As Long Jiguang's confidant, after thinking about it for a while, he naturally understood Long Jiguang's thoughts, Xie Linhan and Long Jinguang nodded in agreement: "What Du Du (third brother) said is very true!" ”
"Bang-bang-bang-"
"Da-da-"
"Boom-boom-boom-"
The gunfire from the front-line positions seemed to be getting more and more intense, and the phone in the headquarters kept ringing again, and it was not surprising that all the front-line officers were anxious and asked for reinforcements.
Compared with the anxiety and fear of the Guangdong officers and soldiers on the front line, Long Jiguang did not have much worry on his face, and he had always been calm and calm when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, as if he was thinking about something.
Long Jiguang is so calm and composed, of course, he has sufficient confidence, at this moment the Shaoguan front line has gathered almost all the elite troops of the Guangdong army, not to mention that the opposite force may be a fake Sichuan Army 2nd Division, even if it is a real Sichuan Army 2nd Division, he has the confidence to hold the defense line without losing.
After thinking for a long time, Long Jiguang slowly raised his head, a cruel sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and ordered: "Pass my order, everyone in the merchant group can enter the front-line position to change their defenses, and if there is any disobedience, they will be killed!" ”
"Yes!" A herald immediately went out of the column and left.
Hearing this order, Xie Linhan's pupils shrank sharply, and he shuddered for no reason, these people from the merchant group were pushed to the front-line position to block the muzzle, and they were definitely dead. Based on what he knew about the Overseers, this was probably just the beginning, and if there were any other people and forces behind them that were making waves in this area, they would definitely be cleared out by the Overseers using this war.
The Shaoguan battlefield was lively and lively, and the Beiyang Army and the Southern Coalition Army in the north were not idle. The Third Route Army of the Southern Coalition Army was in place one after another, and quickly launched defensive deployments. The Beiyang Army, with the 2nd and 19th Divisions as the main force, supplemented by more than 10,000 local miscellaneous cards and militia groups, built a defensive line in the surrounding areas of Jinan to block the 1st Division and the Yimeng Division of the Sichuan Army; The 6th, 7th, and 8th Beiyang Divisions formed the Middle Route Army, gathering heavy troops to attack Nanjing; The Beiyang 4th Division, Zhang Xunwei's Army, and the hidden Beiyang 5th Division attacked Wusheng Pass through the Jinghan Railway.
The armies on both sides amounted to more than 100,000 people, and the march was naturally mighty and amazing.
However, it was not the huge ground forces that broke out first, but in the air.
After the Beiyang Army entered the range of the plane, Wang Mo did not hesitate to order the Blue Eagle Flying Group to launch a comprehensive aerial reconnaissance of the Beiyang Army.
Naturally, the Beiyang Army would not allow the Blue Eagle Flying Group to conduct reconnaissance so unscrupulously, so the Black Hawk Flying Group frequently dispatched fighters to drive away and intercept the reconnaissance planes of the Blue Eagle Flying Group.
Shandong, Yimeng Mountain, Yiyuan Airport.
"Buzz-buzz-"
The humming sound of planes echoed over the airport, and several reconnaissance planes of the Blue Eagle Flying Group could be vaguely seen hovering in the air, gradually completing preparations for the landing formation.
The ground staff of the airport on the ground were quickly clearing the runway, and soon a guide wearing a striking yellow vest held two small green flags high in both hands, and then waved them crosswise, signaling that the plane in the air that was ready to land was ready to land.
Seeing that the guide on the ground signaled that it could land safely, the nose of the plane led by the plane formation in the air sank, the altitude continued to drop, and it taxied towards the airport runway.
"呲呲-呲呲-"
The pulleys of the aircraft rubbed violently against the runway floor, making a sharp and piercing sound.
The plane taxied slower and slower on the runway and eventually stopped, after which a pilot jumped from the plane.
A ground crew trotted all the way over, and several people worked together to push the plane to the parking position.
"Why are there so many bullet holes in this wing, I said Luo Madman, you kid shouldn't have been beaten, right?" Lao Lin, the leader of the ground support team, saw the bullet holes in the wing of the Salmsson 2A2 reconnaissance plane at a glance, and couldn't help but laugh jokingly.
Luo Dong is a well-known combat maniac in the Blue Eagle Flying Brigade, he has always piloted fighter jets to chase the enemy and beat him, and his plane is beaten in the sky, which is definitely a rare thing that can make the entire Blue Eagle Flying Brigade talk about it for three days and three nights.
Luo Dong, who was already extremely depressed because he did not complete the reconnaissance mission, heard this, ripped off the windproof hood on his head, snorted angrily, and said: "Nonsense, didn't you see that I was flying a reconnaissance plane this time?" If it was a fighter jet, would Lao Tzu let those foreign dogs bite him, if he didn't beat them to cry and call his mother, Lao Tzu would not be surnamed Luo! ”
"Who's to blame? This time it was obviously a reconnaissance mission, and whoever told you that you couldn't sit still with itchy hands was already the squadron leader of the combat squadron, and he still had to fly a reconnaissance plane to carry out the mission. Lao Lin laughed even more, it seemed that it was very interesting to see the famous Luo Maniac depressed.
At this time, a herald trotted all the way to Luo Dong, raised his hand and saluted, and said: "Captain Luo, the captain has an order, so that you can go to the headquarters and report the details of this reconnaissance operation to the young marshal in detail." ”
"What? The young marshal is here! Luo Dong was shocked when he heard this, and immediately turned around and ran in the direction of the headquarters.
Knowing the news that the young marshal came to the Blue Eagle Flight Brigade, Lao Lin, who was smiling just now, suddenly looked solemn, and he knew very well that this meant that the flight team was going to make a big move soon, so he turned to the rest of the ground crew and shouted: "The actions are all neat, complete the inspection and maintenance of all aircraft as soon as possible, if anyone has a little omission, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up!" ”
"Yes!" The members of the ground crew responded in unison, and then they all sped up their actions and got busy. (To be continued.) )
