Pang Bingxun said sadly: "Our 14th Division is the child of our father and mother who died early, and we are stepfathers and stepmothers wherever we go, no matter how filial we are, we will always treat our 14th Division as an outsider, and it is not our own home, and we will not be treated anywhere without capital, and we have to look at people's faces everywhere, and we have to hold our tails and be people." ”

Pang Bingxun's words made Wang Shouwu also very emotional, over the years, only Sun Yue's three armies said that he had the best life, not because of good treatment, but because of a good mood, in Pang Bingxun's words, it was in front of his own "biological father and mother, in his own home." In addition, whether it was in Wu Peifu, or in the past few years in Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army, he, the chief of staff, was deeply aware of the difficulties.

Pang Bingxun was afraid that Wang Shouwu would be worried, so he patted Wang Shouwu on the shoulder and said with relief: "Sacrifice brother, your worries are very reasonable, I mean to vote for Zhang Xueliang first." ”

"Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang, the father and son, are quite tolerant of the miscellaneous cards who voted in the past, and when we get to Zhang Xueliang, we will first pull the troops up, and then when we are stronger, we will go to the central government, and then we can give the brothers a better future. This matter is related to the future of our more than 10,000 brothers, and it is impatient. ”

Seeing that Wang Shouwu looked like he still had something to say, Pang Bingxun waved his hand, sighed, and said with a tired face: "Sacrifice brother, I only came here after traveling in the middle of the night, I'll go and rest for a while, and you are still in command here." Tell Ma Fawu that when he attacks, just do enough to do it, don't always think about revenge for Heishi Pass, a desperate posture with the Fourth Route Army, that is each its own master, it is nothing, we have no deep hatred with Song Zhewu. ”

"As long as you bite Song Zhewu's broken group tightly, now is not the time for us to fight with Song Zhewu, as long as we pull the frame apart, it is not easy to say anything even if we pick up the skin. Moreover, Zhang Papi always thought that his troops were the best at fighting, so let him practice with Song Zhewu. ”

Wang Shouwu knew that Pang Bingxun was addicted to smoking, and he kept persuading Pang Bingxun to quit smoking, but Pang Bingxun always refused on the grounds that he was old. Wang Shouwu secretly sighed and nodded in agreement.

Pang Bingxun raised his foot and was about to go down the mountain, but he suddenly stopped and listened vigilantly.

Wang Shouwu also faintly heard a low roar from the northern sky at this time, he followed the sound in the northern sky and searched carefully, and soon he found that in the clouds in the northern sky, more than a dozen small black dots were drilled, and after looking at it for a while, these black dots not only flew closer and closer, but also gradually reduced the altitude, it was the plane that had been determined, the key was that these planes were likely to be coming at them.

Pang Bingxun looked down the mountain again, and a battalion he was preparing to attack was now assembling in the open space at the foot of the opposite mountain. Because the blocking troops of the Fourth Route Army on the opposite side were very resolute in their fighting, they fought and retreated, and for a day and two nights, they did not hold back on each position for more than six hours, and under normal circumstances, they would withdraw at noon at the latest.

Therefore, the rest of Pang Bingxun's 14th Division, at this time, had already packed up their tents and baggage, just waiting for the Fourth Route Army on the opposite side to withdraw, they were ready to follow up at any time, and now they were all sitting on the side of the road to rest, and at a glance, his troops of more than 10,000 people were discharged more than ten miles along the main road.

As for the planes in the sky, Pang Bingxun knew very well in his heart that Yan Xishan did not have so many planes, Feng Yuxiang's aircraft oil depot was bombed, and now that there is no oil, he can't fly at all, and even if he can fly, it will never fly from this direction, and the plane that flies from the north can only be Song Zhewu's.

Song Zhewu's planes flew over at this time, what were they here for, that is a fool can figure out, at the moment his troops are all left in the open space, as soon as these planes arrive, these troops of his have not all become the target of others!

Before Pang Bingxun could speak, Wang Shouwu on the side was already so anxious that his face changed color, and he anxiously ordered the herald in a loud voice, "What are you doing in a daze?" Immediately ordered the troops to air defense. ”

As soon as the herald ran to the foot of the mountain, the screeching of cannonballs came to him, and Pang Bingxun's guards rushed over and hurriedly helped Pang Bingxun and Wang Shouwu to hide behind a rock under the bushes.

Three explosions came from the foot of the mountain, Pang Bingxun could hear the sound of a 60mm mortar, he secretly sighed in his heart, this Song Zhewu is rich, every time his troops charge, the artillery of the Fourth Route Army is like their shells don't need money, one dozen is hundreds of rounds, this time it seems that they are going to strike first, this must be they want to retreat.

But after waiting for a while, except for these three explosions, there was no movement, Pang Bingxun came to his senses, pushed the guards away, stood up and said, "What are you panicking about?" This is the Fourth Route Army on the opposite side pointing out the target for their planes. ”

Through the gaps in the bushes, Pang Bingxun saw that not far from the assembly site of the battalion he was preparing to attack, three puffs of smoke and dust were drifting away with the wind.

At this time, the troops of the 14th Division, which had discovered the plane, were like ant colonies that had been suddenly poured into a scoop of boiling water, and at this time they were already in a mess, not only did the battalion that had gathered at the foot of the mountain and prepare for the attack run in all directions, each looking for a shelter place, but the troops waiting on the side of the road were also in a disorderly manner, and the officers and men were running in a mess to the slopes on both sides, where the woods were very dense and were a good place for air defense.

However, it was still late, and twelve gray-painted biplane bombers and four smaller fighters had already flown overhead, and the twelve bombers shook their wings and swooped down in groups of two and two, facing the officers and men of Pang Bingxun's unit who were still near the assembly area.

As more than a dozen planes continued to roar and dive up, one after another black bombs fell out of the belly of the plane, and as these hoodoos fell, a deafening explosion immediately sounded on the ground, followed by a violent rise of smoke and dust, in the smoke, there were constantly gray human bodies and stumps and severed arms that were fiercely torn apart and thrown into the air.

The four fighters did not engage in a ground attack, nor did they even reduce their altitude, their task was clearly to escort the aircraft, but they repeatedly circled in the air at higher altitudes.

After a round of bombing, the 12 bombers that flew back to the high altitude did not continue to bomb the Northwest Army, which was still desperately rolling and crawling, running wildly into the woods, but kept circling in the air, neither dropping bombs nor flying away.

After the smoke cleared, the foot of the mountain was already a mess at this time, and on the slopes of the mountain, which were originally covered with green grass and trees, dozens of large yellow earth pits suddenly appeared, and around these ugly earth pits, there were scattered nearly 100 officers and men of the 14th Division lying on their backs in various postures and bright red blood stains on the big beach, and many seriously wounded were still desperately rolling and struggling on the ground. With the breeze, there was not only the smoke with a strong smell of blood, but also the cry of pain in the wind.

Because the planes of the Fourth Route Army were still hovering overhead, no one dared to rescue the wounded who were in urgent need of help. After circling for more than 20 minutes, the planes of the Fourth Route Army formed a formation in the air and flew away to the north. Only then did the officers and soldiers hiding in the woods dare to rush out to rescue the wounded.

However, in less than 10 minutes, another group of 12 biplane bombers, escorted by four fighters, flew to the battlefield, which made the frightened officers and men of the 14th Division no longer care about treating the wounded, abandoned their wounded comrades, and hurriedly hid in the woods.

After hovering at low altitude for a few weeks, the newly arrived planes seemed to have discovered the dilemma of the 14th Division on the ground, and under the leadership of a leading plane, they were all pulled up high and hovered high in the air. Seeing this scene, the officers and men of the 14th Division, knowing that there would be no danger, ran out of the woods again with trepidation, and even carried the wounded into the woods.

It wasn't until there were no more active people in the open field that the planes shook their wings and swooped down from the sky.

However, these planes did not drop a single bomb, as if they were training, and they swooped up again and again in groups of two, and then dived and pulled up, and the lower they flew, the strong wind brought by the planes dive, blowing the treetops like waves.

The officers and men of the 14th Division were indignant at the almost provocative behavior of the planes of the Fourth Route Army, and after several dives of these planes, four soldiers finally could not bear it anymore, and on a mound, using an anti-aircraft firing mount, set up a Maxine, and fired fiercely at a bomber that was whizzing and diving down.

The biplane, which was suddenly attacked from the ground, did not wait for the dive to reach the end, but suddenly pulled up and climbed into a hastily high altitude, and the plane following it did not climb closely, but pulled up the nose slightly, faced the position of the firing position, continued to dive down, and only after dropping two bombs did it pull up the nose of the plane and began to climb.

Due to the hasty adjustment of the target bombs, the two bombs did not fall on the mound, but exploded more than 30 meters away. It's just that such an explosion has made them completely sober, and with their machine gun, they will definitely not be able to deal with the dozen or so planes that are showing off their might in the sky above them.

These "provocateurs" threw down their machine guns, spread their legs and ran wildly into the woods dozens of meters away.

The shooting from the ground apparently completely angered the planes circling in the sky, and like a pack of hounds searching for prey in the wasteland, they suddenly spotted the trail of their prey, and immediately swarmed with great excitement and pounced fiercely.
