Liao Zhengcai didn't know how much shock the peasant uprising in Fengkai County that he had planned.

When the peasant army, which had only knives, sticks and birds, came to the junction of Guangxi and Guangzhou, and was about to enter Guangxi, it was blocked by Liu Debin's regiment.

Liu Debin's regiment occupied the advantageous terrain and set up heavy machine guns and mortars, preparing to arm to stop the mob. However, as a regiment commander, he also knew that the situation was serious, and urgently consulted Chen Jitang in Guangzhou. In his mind, there was no decision whether to shoot or not, all he was waiting for was an order, and once the order was given, he would definitely carry it out.

"Head Liu, you were also a poor peasant back then, and your family rented the landlord's land, and you couldn't even eat. Your sister even died of starvation at an early age.

These people are all living poor middle peasants, they have been the most obedient grass people for thousands of years, if it is not really impossible to live, everyone will not take this road of no return.

He also asked Regiment Commander Liu to raise his noble hand and let us pass, so as not to be sinners of the people. Zhengcai is incompetent, but he also knows that there is a way back, and he has already informed the southwest authorities of this uprising. The political axe of the southwest is mainly based on the people, and once the head of the regiment Liu creates a bloody case on the border of Guangxi, I am afraid that it will attract the wrath of the chief of the southwest. ”

Liao Zhengcai motioned to the team to retreat slightly, he was not a hairy young man who was dizzy with blood, but a young man with new knowledge who had received a complete education in the southwest, and naturally knew that the confrontation between flesh and blood and bullets would be unbearable cruelty.

Liu Debin stood on the top of the mountain, didn't take his head, took this iron tube, and shouted there: "The contemptible people have reported this incident to Commander Chen quickly, how to deal with it, let's wait for his old man to make a decision." Ladies and gentlemen, I, Liu Debin, am just a martial artist, and I don't want to embarrass everyone, let alone disobey orders. Before the commander replied, I think everyone should be a little calm, otherwise the bullet will not grow long, and whoever bites it will be a scar. ”

The ranks of the uprising were somewhat confused, some advocated rushing over, some advocated retreating first, and some began to make small noises, and everyone talked about it, and the peasants, who had not received any formal training at all, were at a loss for advance and retreat.

Liao Zhengcai swallowed dryly, he was really not a genius, the organized uprising had not yet rushed out of Guangdong, it was already in chaos, once the other party fired, the team was afraid that it would disperse.

"Don't panic, everyone, let's wait for the time being. The Southwest Political Axe is the political axe of the people, and their army is the first in the country, maybe the Southwest People's Army is already on the way to the rescue. ”

At that time, in order to prevent accidents, Liao Zhengcai deliberately wrote the same letter to several people, just because he was afraid that if there was an accident, it would lead to a huge disaster. In the letter, he had made a brief assumption about the difficulties that the rebel army might encounter, hoping that the Southwestern Army would be able to rescue them.

Five minutes later, Chen Jitang's telegram had not been replied to, and the scratching here became even more violent, for fear that Liu Debin's troops would suddenly shoot, but under Liao Zhengcai's loud shout, there were no cowards in the team who retreated and fled.

Five kilometers away, a fighter plane flying from more than a kilometer in the air was flying at a speed slower than its cruising speed, heading in the direction of Fengkai County.

The fighter plane seemed to be looking for something, occasionally encountering a large mountain range, and would swoop down to check it out before pulling the fighter away.

"02, haven't you found it yet?"

This fighter belongs to the 6th Air Force Regiment stationed in Guangxi, and is a modified two-seat reconnaissance plane of the Jian-1 fighter, with a front and rear reading cockpit, a fighter pilot, and an observer and communicator.

Hearing the driver's voice coming from the headset, observer 02 replied, "01, fly a few kilometers to the southeast, judging from the map, the terrain there is more complicated, the march is more difficult, and the rebel team may still not come out of that mountainous area." ”

The fighter plane flew in a southeasterly direction with a more violent roar. Looking at the ever-changing field of view below the fighter plane, Rao was unable to fully identify ground targets even as a professionally trained observer. Fortunately, the speed of the fighter plane is relatively slow, and the reconnaissance target this time is relatively large, so it will not be a needle in a haystack.

"Discover the situation!!"

The reconnaissance plane had just flown over the hill, and then quickly lowered its altitude and flew down one of the hills in a dive. "Report, Saker 1 found the target. Target found at 111.23 east longitude and 23.32 north latitude!! The peasant rebel army was about a few thousand people on one side, and at least two battalions of the Cantonese army intercepted it, and the two sides did not clash for the time being. ”

After receiving the report from the reconnaissance plane, the commander of the 6th Air Force Regiment issued an order: According to the battle plan just issued, the Air Force will be the most important weight to deter the Guangdong Army this time, and it is necessary to protect these "armed" peasants.

The airfield where the 6th Air Force Regiment is stationed happens to be Wuzhou Airport, which was originally built for the needs of the later war against Guangdong.

The runway of the airport has long been filled with fighter planes that have filled up fuel and hung up mailboxes and ammunition. I saw that the pilots on the fighter plane, who had been waiting for a long time, closed the cockpit cover one after another, just waiting to take off.

When the first fighter plane finished taxiing for a short distance and pulled up the nose to take off, one plane after another began to take off, flying towards the target airspace at maximum speed.

"Comrades, it was a plane from the Southwest, just now a plane from the Southwest. They've spotted us, and reinforcements will be there soon!! ”

When the Guangdong Army and the Peasant Rebel Army saw a plane flying from a distance, and even made an ultra-low-altitude dive, the momentum of the two sides was completely reversed.

As everyone knows, the southwest has the most powerful air force in China at present, and Guangdong, which is adjacent to the southwest regime, is well aware of the power of the southwest air force. When the first plane left, Liu Debin was not happy, but frowned tightly, he could imagine that after a while, maybe more planes would come. The Wuzhou Airport of the Southwest Army is too close to here.

As if to verify Liao Zhengcai's words, ten minutes later, when the first fighter plane, which was much faster than just now, flew into the sky, the farmers let out a tsunami-like cheer.

The first fighter plane to arrive was the Jian-2 fighter in the southwest's latest hunting suit, and compared with the reconnaissance plane, the appearance alone was much more fierce, and I saw the fighter plane painted in strange colors, one of which was pulled up and rushed into the sky, and then swooped down towards a mountain.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The fighter opened fire, only to see countless swift tongues of fire flying out of the belly of the fighter, and the dense cannon shells hit the uninhabited hill below in an instant, and in a roar, the mountain fell into a sea of fire.

"Hiss......" Liu Debin gasped, although he also knew the power of the fighter, but after seeing the majesty of the southwest fighter with his own eyes, he had already made up his mind, even if Commander-in-Chief Chen's order arrived, it would be difficult for him to carry it out.

If the fighter plane just now had fired at its own troops instead of shooting at the empty hill, even if the terrain on the hill was complicated, I am afraid that this artillery bombardment would have lost at least dozens of brothers.

In the distance, in the air visible to the naked eye, more and more fighters began to arrive, and although they did not carry out live firing like fire drills, the fighters began to change formation in a strange movement that neither the Guangdong army nor the peasants had ever seen.

In the end, the fighters from the southwest formed a formation of three planes and began to dive towards the hill where Liu Debin's regiment was located.

At that moment, Liu Debin thought that the other party was about to drop a bomb, but the fighters just flew in formation, as if they were demonstrating to the Guangdong army and paying tribute to the peasants who dared to resist.

On the evening of April 1, 1930, the Southwest Army broke into Guangdong with an army of nearly 60,000 men and launched an offensive on the third front. Along the way, there was no resistance, but was welcomed by the local people almost crazy.

The relatively good traffic conditions in Guangdong, the speed of the march, and the sudden and incomparable military action not only caused Chen Jitang to shrink to Guangzhou, but even President Chiang, who had moved to Nanjing, did not have time to transfer troops to encircle and block the southwest army in Guangzhou, but only made defensive preparations for the descendants or local troops in Lianghu, Fujian, Jiangxi, and other places, and encircled the southwest army that might break through into these provinces at any time.

President Jiang has the world in mind and has great ambitions, but he decisively chose to break his arm, which is almost equivalent to giving up Guangdong. However, he also urgently ordered Chen Jitang, asking him to quickly block the Southwest Army and wait for reinforcements, but the telegram sank into the sea, and Chen Jitang, who was originally obedient, did not move at this time, but just cowered in Guangzhou without moving, until the Southwest Army finally came to the city and pointed at Guangzhou.

When the Southwest Army entered Guangdong, it was mainly composed of elite troops and air forces, and its operation to take over the entire territory of Guangdong was like a thunderclap, which exploded throughout the country.

I have to say that many enlightened people have actually been looking forward to the next military action in the southwest for a long time, not to mention Guangdong, even some people in the two lakes are also secretly operating, and the confrontation between the warlords of the north and the south has not yet come to fruition, but the strong rise of the southwest army has become the consensus of the people. The bits and pieces of the southwest have also been reported in the newspapers, and the people's rule over the southwest has already had a popular foundation.

Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek's official residence.

"Report!"

The voice of the confidential secretary woke Chiang Kai-shek back from his contemplation, and the news of the Southwest Army's entry into Guangdong kept him awake all night, and he did not move the bird's nest porridge made by Song Meiling himself at the table. If Zhang Shusheng occupies half of the southwest and he can still sit upright, the entry of the Southwest Army into Guangdong will definitely touch his bottom line.

Chiang Kai-shek's political skills have always been to bully the weak and win over the strong to constantly strengthen himself. And he wasn't unprepared before, moving around in many ways, just waiting for the right time.

And at this time, it seems that the time has come. Perhaps, he was not the only one who didn't fall asleep last night, but there were other people.

"Report, the ministers of Britain, France, and the Soviet Union want to see you!"

When Chiang Kai-shek heard this, he was overjoyed, and he was extremely politically sensitive, and he had already guessed the intention of the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, so he hurriedly got up, and accidentally even knocked over the bird's nest porridge to the ground, "Quick, please come in!" No, I'm going to greet it personally!! ”
