1908 Far East Maniac Chapter 185 Acting Without Permission

When Zhao Erxun and others were scurrying around in front of them. The two planes in the sky were contented to appreciate the chaos.

For example, the right hand holding the cāo longitudinal rod is raised. I helped the goggles. Then pick up the finger. He shook his assistant Meng Fei who was sitting beside him.

Meng Fei grinned. Thumbs up too. He threw the fuse pull ring on his finger. Then tighten the belt that binds your shoulders again. As a flight cadet of the 1st Flying Squadron of the Republican Army. Able to be selected by the squadron leader as an assistant. Participants in the first ever pair of air raid missions. Meng Fei was lucky. At the same time, it is exciting. Yu was too excited. So much so that he forgot to disarm the mechanical safety of the bump fuse before throwing the first two bombs down. Instead, it just pulled the fuse behind the butt of the bomb. So. The two dropped aerial bombs were all detonated with delay. In addition to being scary. There were no casualties. The last two bombs were unsafed. But I don't know why it didn't detonate in time. Seems to be a problem with the fuse.

It was a high-end weapon tailored to the small plane of the Hanyang Arsenal. The warhead uses a fuse similar to that of a mortar. The tail also has a delay tube installed. A total of fifty such aerial bombs were made. As a result, the first actual combat attack was in the hands of Meng Fei.

"Lesson. Remember to remove the fuse insurance later. Other than that. The fuses at the Hanyang Arsenal were a little rougher. ”

Meng Fei came down from the excitement. Remembering the negligence just now. So he hurriedly pulled out a notebook from his leather jacket. Against the wind, he wrote a few words solemnly on a lead notebook. Here are his study notes. Usually, Professor Feng Ru's flight experience and precautions are recorded there. Meng Fei studied diligently. The level of education is also high. This is the main reason why Feng Ru chose him as an assistant.

This time, the Republican Army made the second expedition to Sichuan. Zhao Bei not only brought Feng Ru over, but also brought the only two planes over, which were on the steamer of the Western Expeditionary Army into Sichuan. China's first flight unit was officially formed. Named "First Flying Squadron". Directly under the General Headquarters of the Republican Army, Feng Ru was the first squadron leader.

In order to select the right team members. Feng Ru went deep into the grassroots company. It took a few days to select a hundred trainees. Because Feng Ru is a native of Guangdong. Dialects are heavy. In order to facilitate teaching, Zhao Bei specially approved. It was agreed that the first batch of flight cadets were selected from among the Cantonese soldiers. This is not an easy task. There are not so many Cantonese people in Hubei. Therefore, no, I do not expand the selection area. From the combat unit to the current affairs propaganda team to the officer training corps. Anyone who understands Feng Ru's dialect has priority. It is precisely for this reason that Meng Fei entered the flying team. At that time, he was studying with the battalion in the crash course for officers. And it happens to be Guangdong.

Even so. Nearly half of the team was still non-Cantonese. Feng Ru had to rely on Meng Fei as a translator when teaching. This is another reason why Meng Fei participated in this air raid. Feng Ru trusted him very much.

The bomb was dropped. The sack full of sheets was thrown down, and the plane's overwhelmed engine was finally liberated. Make a brisk "buzzing" sound. Pull the plane and fly to higher airspace. Soon climbed to the ceiling of two hundred feet. Fly towards the reconnaissance balloon that rises 200 meters in the air. A cold wind is blowing in your face. Let the two people on the plane shine. Around the neck, a white silk scarf flutters in the wind. It looks very stylish.

This scarf isn't just for pulling the wind. It has a very practical purpose―――――― it is used to wipe away dirt from the goggles and face.

Soon Meng Fei's scarf came in handy. Just after he had written down all the hearts of the air raid. The wind-cooled two-way engine beside him began to scream weirdly. Before the pilot adjusted the throttling|. I only heard a "boom" with a bang. A flame burst out from the oil pipe of the motive, burning along the oil circuit, and a large amount of gasoline mixed with sesame oil was thrown into Meng Fei's face.

Meng Fei wiped the oil stain off the goggles. While cāo picked up a wet towel tied to his leg and vigorously slammed the burning motive. Meanwhile. Feng Ru, who was sitting next to him, immediately flew towards a low altitude.

Thankfully, this is a twin-engine aircraft. Otherwise. I am afraid that the first air raid in the history of human warfare will end in tragedy.

For example, he and Xie Tai brought back two planes back to China. A single-engine. A twin-engine. The flight speed is about the same. But twin-engine aircraft have a much larger load. The security xìng is also a bit higher. Therefore. Feng Rucai flew the plane to attack.

However, the engine technology of this era is relatively early. Plus gasoline with very poor anti-knock xìng. Flying in an airplane of this era is indeed an adventure. Once there is a failure. It is possible to rely only on the experience and abilities of the pilot.

The right engine burned violently. The flames are blazing. Black smoke billowed out. Rely on the remaining engine. The plane snorted and flew southeast. There was a long trail of black smoke behind the butt. Look far away. It's spectacular. The soldiers on both sides of the battle looked up. I can't figure out what kind of juggling this "kite" is playing again.

When the plane struggled to fly back to the field airfield. fuel tank

Bottomed out. It's too late to adjust the course. Feng Ruyi pressed the cāo longitudinal rod. Pilot|. The plane dragged black smoke and landed bouncing on a patch of grass. The flight cadets on the airport rushed over in a swarm. Without waiting for the plane to come to a complete stop. They grabbed the tail of the plane one after another. The plane was dragged to a halt.

Feng Ru and Meng Fei untied the belt. Jumping off the plane in embarrassment. Took a wet blanket from the student's hand. One was covered by the burning engine. This brought the fire under control. Zhao Bei ran over with his staff officers in shock. grabbed Feng Ru and asked, "How is it?" What do you think? Are there any injuries? Quickly sent to the field hospital. Call the military doctor to take a look. ”

As a traverser. Zhao Bei knew very well how Feng Ru dedicated himself to his aviation dream. In this era when talent is difficult. I really can't give up such a top person as Feng Ru. If it weren't for the urgency of the war. He would not risk letting Feng Ru lead the flying team to accompany the army. But the purpose of this move was to ask Captain Feng to train the cadets. But he was not allowed to fly into the air. So. When it is known that the plane has taken off without authorization. He rushed to the airfield from the former enemy headquarters. I found out when I inquired. Captain Feng and a flight cadet are going to bomb the Manchu diehards.

It's action!

Although Zhao Bei was a little annoyed. There's no way to get the plane back. So I had to wait at the airport. I was going to wait for the plane to land and severely criticize the two pilots who acted without permission. But just now I saw the plane flying back with black smoke in tow. He was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a long time. Forget about this criticism.

Now the IRA flight has just been formed. The trainees are only in the theoretical learning stage. I am familiar with the simple training equipment made by Zhao Beiming. It is simply not possible to fly an aircraft alone to fight. It's no wonder that Zhao Bei is so worried about Feng Ru's safety.

Wave your hand again and again. Show yourself to be okay. And don't talk much. Just feel sorry for that engine. The plane did not have a spare engine. Destroy one now. It will only be impossible to take to the air for a short period of time. As for that single-engine aircraft. Zhao Bei said it clearly. Feng Ru is absolutely forbidden to drive. So as not to fall and kill the only pilot of the Republican Army.

The plane lost more than just its engines. The poles and tension lines were also burned. The right wing was also burned with a large hole. If it hadn't flown back in time. I'm afraid it's in the sky. The air raids. It's risky and dangerous. The luck of the two pilots was also really good.

The first air attack was unfavorable. Team Feng's frustration can be imagined. Meng Fei is the same. Zhao Haoyan comforted. Ordered the guards to take Feng Ru and Meng Fei down to rest. He also ordered someone to tow the damaged plane back to the hangar for repairs. Let's see if we can remove the engine from that single-engine plane and put it on. At the same time, the order was officially given. From now on. Guards of the aircraft commander of the flight squadron. There was no warrant from the commander-in-chief. No one will take to the skies to fight. The so-called "hangar" is actually a pergola built of bamboo. The top is covered with an oilcloth. Several mechanics transferred from the arsenal were responsible for the maintenance of the aircraft. Zhao Bei didn't know anything about the engines of this era. Soxìng doesn't add to the mess either. The staff officers left the airport. Rushed back to the former enemy headquarters. Before leaving, he also gave an order. Without his permission. Captain Feng was also not allowed to fly the plane.

Return to the former enemy headquarters. Several guests are already waiting. One is Juzheng. As the president of the Communist Association, the special envoy of Sun Wu, the governor of Hunan, came to visit the commander-in-chief. The other is Deng Gang. It was a representative sent by Yang Wangpeng, the leader of the Endeavor Association. The other two were sent by the West Sichuan Toast. One is called Uha. One is called Derg. Han said it very well.

The four of them came all the way from Chóngqìng. The main purpose was to negotiate with the commander-in-chief about a joint attack on the Qing army. After the Battle of Zhengchuan began. The Republican Army will advance and forge ahead in three ways into Sichuan. Later, the Republican Army occupied Chóngqìng. The representatives of the three parties had planned to hold a wartime meeting on Chóngqìng. Discuss the march into the army. Unexpectedly, the "Qizhou tragedy" broke out. Zhao Bei returned to Hubei. That wartime meeting was not uninterrupted by the absence of this central figure. The last three parties each did their own thing. The Kyojin Association has the idea of Kawananjing salt. Endeavor will stare at Chengdu's arsenal and drool. As for the Republican Army, on its part. I was busy digesting the fruits of victory. Consolidation of occupied districts. The three parties are on their own. I can't say that I cooperated. And the Advance Association and the Endeavor Association both have the intention of fishing in troubled waters. He did not take the initiative to seek contact with the IRA side again. Although when the city of Hejiang was captured, it was the Gongjin Association that joined forces with the Republican Army. But let's be honest. The Communists, for their part, did not want to share the fruits of victory with the IRA.

Until Zhao Bei rushed back to Sichuan. The army swept through the middle and west of Sichuan. It's overwhelming. Only then did the Communists and Endeavor realize who was the leader of the war. So they sent their envoys. Come and make contact with the commander-in-chief. Discuss joint offensive and post-war arrangements. As for the liaison officers of the two western Sichuan toasts. It's simply a vase corner sè. Regardless of whether they can assist the IRA in action or not. Even if they have the strength. Wait until they send the news back to their respective cottages. I'm afraid that this war is over.
