Not only were the Central Army, the Northeast Army, and Shang Zhen and other units blocking and chasing after each other on the ground, but there were also hundreds of bombers from the Northeast Army and the Central Army in the sky, as well as Song Zhewu's group of strong attack planes, which bombed indiscriminately, making Shi Yousan unable to cope.

Don't say anything else, but the two hundred planes buzzed overhead, dropping strings of bombs like birds pooping from time to time, which made people feel terrified. You know, this is the first time in the country that so many aircraft appeared at the same time in one battle. Not to mention the veterans of the Northwest Army of Shiyou No. 3, even the well-informed descendants of the Central Army and the elite main force of the Northeast Army are also seen for the first time.

And these planes just wanted to cause him the most chaos when Shi You's three parts crossed the river, so they also flew in waves and waves, and then there were endless dive-bombing strafing. Seeing that one raft after another capsized, and the officers and soldiers who fell into the water would suddenly be swallowed up by the raging floods, Shi Yousan had to order the troops to stop crossing the river and take shelter on the spot.

Then he ordered the troops on both sides of the Hutuo River to hold their positions until tomorrow morning, and prepare to cross the river at night.

Both the Central Army and the Northeast Army were not good at night fighting, and they stopped attacking after dark, which gave Shi Yousan's troops a little respite. However, most of the rafts had been damaged by planes during the day, so they had to cut down trees and dismantle the doors for half a night, and then they began to cross the river in the dark.

Because the river is wide and the water potential is large, the line of sight is not clear, and there are many people who collide with each other and capsize, and the people who fall into the water cannot be rescued at all, so everyone is cautious when crossing the river, and the speed is very slow, and most of the system is more than half by the dawn.

However, Shi Yousan had already crossed the river, and he left his troops to cross the river first in the early hours of the morning under the persuasion of his younger brothers Shi Youxin and Zhang Xuecheng.

As soon as it was light, the damned planes flew in droves again, but this time instead of bombing and strafing the people who were crossing the river, they focused their main energy on bombing Shi You's three dozen blocking troops. With the help of the planes, exhausted, Shi Yousan's blocking troops, who had been running in the water for a night, could no longer hold on, and the blocking positions on both sides of the river were broken through by the Northeast Army and the Central Army almost simultaneously.

Under the fierce attack of the Central Army, Shi Yousan's troops on both sides of the river were in chaos, and the formation of many troops was already chaotic. Shi Yousan saw that the general trend had gone, so he had to lead the troops that could still be gathered to desperately rush out of the encirclement and escape.

As soon as Shi Yousan left, the troops became even more chaotic, and they broke through and fled for their lives. Sun Guang's front troops fled to the Nanxiao Position Area of Shenze County, where they were intercepted and disarmed by Chen's successors, and Sun was captured and shot; Mi Wen and his troops to the Xinji area of Donglu County were also disarmed, and Mi was captured alive; Shen Kebu surrendered the Northeast Army in Tang County.

However, Shi Yousan led the remnants to flee to Texas, and was forcibly protected by Han Fuyu in the name of incorporation.

Chiang Kai-shek was very angry that Han Fuyu came forward again to protect his difficult brother, but he was annoyed, he couldn't do anything with Han Fuyu now, and he didn't want to, and he couldn't even clean up Han Fuyu, so that not only Hebei, but also Shandong would be completely under Zhang Xueliang's control, which would greatly weaken the power of the central government.

He now has to concentrate on suppressing the Communist Party, and in his eyes, [***] is the biggest evil. In addition, he must always guard against local forces in various places, especially those local forces that are linked to Wang Jingwei, who is still very appealing in the party, and he must pay enough attention to them, otherwise I am afraid that they will become elbows and armpits.

Therefore, he is not able to take care of North China now, since he is unable to take care of it, it is better to be chaotic there, and even he hopes that the more forces of all parties, the better, which will prevent one side from becoming too powerful, so that it will be more conducive to him to control the overall situation. Of course, the premise is that these local forces don't cross his bottom line, and when he frees his hands, he is behaving them well.

Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek only insisted that Han Fuyu must completely integrate Shi Yousan's troops, and asked Han Fuyu to guarantee that he would not give Shi Yousan a single soldier again.

In response to Chiang Kai-shek's serious warning, Han Fuyu, whose wings were not yet full, naturally did not dare to secretly disobey the yang and yin, and did anything, so he had to say sorry to his old man.

With the participation of the personnel sent by Nanjing to supervise, Shi Yousan's troops were completely dismembered and dismantled, and merged into Han Fuyu's own troops.

Bi Guangheng and Zang Bofeng found Shang Zhen soon after the war, and after explaining the reason, Shang Zhen would naturally help these two "Song Zhewu's people", and the little festival between him and Song Zhewu had already been resolved by Song Zhewu helping him out of the Niangzi Pass. Shang Zhen sent people to escort Bi Guangheng and Zang Bofeng to Taiyuan.

Bi Guangheng and Zang Bofeng were warmly received by Song Zhewu in Taiyuan. After the positive recommendation of Jia Jingde and Zhao Pilian, Song Zhewu decided to set up an external liaison office, directly under the Northern Frontier Governor's Office, which was specifically responsible for external relations. However, Song Zhewu felt that Zhao Pilian's ability was not in diplomacy, and he had already intended to find someone to replace him, but there was no suitable candidate, and Bi Guangheng came to the right place.

However, for these two people, Song Zhewu still has to observe for a period of time, and the external liaison office is still managed by Zhao Pilian for the time being.

In the sky above the Taihang Mountains, the sky is as blue as washing, the white clouds are better than the snow, and among the white clouds, two gray-painted Newburg-28 fighters are passing through the clouds one after the other, and this is Feng Baolun, the captain of the Third Brigade of the Fighter Wing of the Song Zhewu Air Force, and his wingman are on a mission.

Feng Baolun, Zhong Jihan, and Wang Fuheng were all members of the Jinsui Army Aviation Brigade before, and they were also the three captains of the army one after another.

Of the three, Zhong Jihan is the oldest, and he is also the oldest person in the Republic of China, and may even be the oldest person in the world to start as a pilot.

Zhong Jihan, born in 1884 in Huangxian County, Shandong, went to Northeast China as an apprentice and business in his early years. After abandoning business and martial arts, he successively entered the Heilongjiang Army Primary School, the Yanjing Qinghe Army Preparatory School and the Baoding Army Military Academy Phase 5. When he was studying at the military academy, he married his good classmates Zhang Yinwu and Chu Xichun as Jin Lan. After graduation, he was assigned to serve in the General Headquarters of the Middle East Road Guard Army, and in 1923, he was introduced by his classmates to join the Jin Army, and successively served as a company commander, battalion commander and colonel of the 46th Regiment of the Jin Army. In the autumn of 1926, he entered the Shanxi Aviation Preparatory School to learn flying, and when Song Zhewu occupied Taiyuan, Zhong Jihan served as the director of the Aviation Division of the General Headquarters of the Third Group Army.

All three of them were recruited by Song Zhewu into the Air Force Corps when Song Zhewu occupied Taiyuan, and these three people are now the captains of the three brigades of the fighter wing because of their outstanding flying skills.

Feng Baolun piloted the plane to brush the edge of a cloud of white clouds, slightly deflected the nose of the plane, and let the nose of the plane avoid the sunset that was about to set, squinting his eyes and carefully searching the sky.
