. Chapter 381 blasted me back

In Hushitai, north of Mukden, two propellers in the field airfield, which covers an area of hundreds of acres, make a buzzing noise, hundreds of soldiers in the three-row conjoined barracks next to it are busy, and there are several planes of the same type on standby in the improvised hangar farther away.

Airport construction is one of the highlights of the 1913 national defense fiscal year, a total of 21 airports of various types have been built in the country, which seems to be quite a lot but the price is not expensive, mainly because the airport requirements are not high at present, and most of the runways only need to be compacted to ensure that the soil is leveled. Since the establishment of the air force in 1912, China has become the largest country in military aviation, with more than 6 million yuan or about 3 million US dollars allocated in the 13 fiscal years alone, and in the same year, Germany and France, which were the largest spenders on military aviation, only spent 4.7 million US dollars in total, excluding expensive airships.

With the support of this kind of appropriation, the Wehrmacht currently has a total of more than 150 military aircraft, compared with only 4 in the United States, and only 27 in the Japanese army and navy combined, and has also trained 353 pilots.

After a breakthrough in engine technology at the beginning of the year, a series of new aircraft began to enter the engineering stage, the most important of which was the imitation Curtiss JN-4 Jenny trainer/reconnaissance aircraft as it was ready to take off. It is said that imitation is only the psychological effect of Yang Qiu, because the historical "Jenny" did not enter service until 16 years, and it was also chosen because this aircraft was one of the best trainer aircraft of the World War I era.

But Feng Ru did not directly copy the drawings, or improved this classic training aircraft, the biggest change is to replace the wavy curve wing that is difficult to process, using Anthony Fock's first fusion welded steel tube frame and cantilever wing design, not only simple to manufacture but also better flight quality, in addition to using the technology in the development of the V-engine, the Curtiss Bull 5 engine was increased from 90 horsepower to 110 horsepower, taking into account the need to fly farther and add a 5-liter fuel tank, In this way, both the speed, ceiling and range are much larger than the original model.

Of course, the name has also been completely changed, and it is called "Sparrow".

As for whose bad taste the name comes from, this needs no explanation.

Professional ground staff is also a new technology of the military, and it is very difficult to recruit, because the ground staff soldiers not only have to be literate but also familiar with mechanical knowledge, lack of technical background China wants to find the ground staff who can be pulled and ready to use, so the current ground staff are carefully selected and need to practice in machinery factories and aircraft factories for at least one year before they can take up their posts.

The small number of ground crews limited the growth of the air force, so Yang Qiu has not officially changed to an independent air force so far.

Since the silk parachute is still being tested, the current pilots in the sky are real warriors, they fearlessly burrow into the unprotected cockpit in case they encounter enemy aircraft, and a light machine gun was added to the rear seat scout's cockpit, and after fastening the seat belt with the camera around their necks, several ground crew soldiers suddenly released the wheel gear, and the two "sparrows" let out a burst of cheers and rushed into the blue sky ().

Unbeknownst to him, Sasaki sat on the ammunition box with his comrades from the railway garrison and carefully wiped the Type 30 rifle in his hand, and next to him was a letter of acceptance from the Army University.

"If you want to become a China expert, you must first apply for the Army University." This is a well-known sentence in the Japanese Army, in a military family, Sasaki Zhiichi also wanted to become a Chinese general for the Imperial Army, but because of his youth, he spent too much energy on prostitutes, and finally took the exam six times before he was finally admitted.

Originally, it was a smooth road in front of him, entering Lu University, then becoming an officer, and then returning to China to continue the journey of conquest. But all this was shattered by the sudden outbreak of war, and when he learned that the squadron crossed the Liaohe River and began to clear the Manchu army village by village and county, he realized that Japan would definitely declare war, and sure enough, he got an order that night, and the railway escort team from all over the South Manchurian Railway withdrew a total of more than 1,000 people to the Nanfen coal and iron mine to join the 16th Division Engineer Wing stationed here.

The 16th Division is a permanent division, and it is also one of the few divisions stationed in Korea and Kwantung Prefecture in rotation like the Fifth Division, and the particularity requires the troops to ensure sufficient strength all year round, especially after the Han Yeping incident, Benxi Baofen Coal and Iron Mine has become the most important source of iron ore in Japan, so the 16th Division specially sent more than 1,000 engineers to be stationed for a long time.

Unlike the second-line soldiers of the railway escort who looked a little nervous, the soldiers of the 16th Division were all excited, and the machine guns and cannons were all pulled out, and they muttered while wiping their guns: "Inamoto-kun, I heard that the ** squadron is different from before, there are many machine guns and cannons." ”

"I also heard about it, but I don't think it's a threat, they used to have only five divisions, and now after the reunification of the country, there are as many as 22, and no matter how many cannons and machine guns there are, they will be diluted, not to mention that those cannons and machine guns were sold to them by the Germans, unlike our Great Japanese Empire, which can already make super cannons for battleships."

"As long as we protect this place, it won't take a few years for us to be able to equip the Type 38 15mm cannon ()."

"I heard that there are only two regiments coming to us, do they think that two regiments can defeat us?"

"I want to know most about whether they will pee their pants in fear when they suddenly find us in front of them after they are chasing those useless Manchu and Mongolian troops."

"Pee your pants and I'll kill them too!" Sasaki joined in the chat, and patted the rifle that had been rubbed so hard that it could shine a human figure: "For His Majesty the Emperor, the Manchurian Continent has been completely obtained." ”

"The Emperor is onboard!"

The Japanese soldiers shouted feverishly one by one, and at this moment, the tick-tick shrill whistle that had been waiting for a day finally sounded, and Sasaki, who had been impatient for a long time, quickly inserted the snow bayonet. Six 75-mm Meiji Type 38 field guns were quickly put in place behind the position, two Haggaes heavy machine guns were cross-deployed, and the barrel bayonets that poked out of the bunkers and trenches made all the defensive preparations in a hurry.

Sasaki also took out a monocular old-fashioned telescope while the wing captain was observing, which he took out from the train station during the evacuation, and this thing is said to be a vintage goods seized from Beiyang back then. Through the lenses, he quickly saw the situation clearly, and saw a Chinese cavalry chasing more than 300 Manchurian cavalry.

"Waste, this waste!"

Seeing that the Manmeng cavalry, which was more than twice as many, was being chased by the enemy in a mess, and after someone fell from his horse and died from time to time, Sasaki was so angry that he cursed, and the soldiers around him also crowded over to inquire about the situation.

A disciple of Lieutenant General Yusaku Uehara, the father of the Japanese engineers, Takeda believed that the sappers were the key to victory or defeat in a war, as the sappers were the most important additions to the ability to fight and ensure the transportation of supplies. Since receiving the order to garrison Nanfen, he has given full play to his engineering expertise and built a large number of civil fortifications centered on the Nanfen coal and iron mines, which according to his own words can definitely withstand the attack of an elite wing.

Can you block an elite wing, and will you be afraid of two regiments that are moving here? So when he saw that the "allies" were beaten to the ground, he immediately waved his hand: "Warn them with a cannon ()." ”

As soon as the words fell, the Japanese artillerymen who had been waiting impatiently immediately opened fire, and six shells fell straight between the two cavalry, and soon after the smoke and fireballs forcibly separated them, hundreds of Manchu ** Lijun, who had been chased and killed, nodded and thanked them as if they had seen a savior.

Ai Takeda despised these people, but who ordered the military headquarters to do everything in their power to protect them, so he had to impatiently let people take them down to rest. At this moment, the Wehrmacht cavalry in charge of the negotiation came carrying a white flag, and the cavalryman with a bit of a big tongue saw Takeda Ai and asked for release directly: "We don't want to destroy Sino-Japanese friendship, please release our prisoners immediately, otherwise Your Excellency will bear all the consequences!" ”

Ai Takeda was stunned when he heard it, isn't this attitude and tone the lines of the Imperial Japanese Army in the past? Suddenly the role changed, and I really didn't feel comfortable, when did the squadron dare to come to the territory of the Great Japanese Empire to arrest people?

"Fuck off, this is a Japanese industry." Takeda Ai unceremoniously drove away the cavalry, and after Fang Wei on the opposite side got the report, his face was even more gloomy, and without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and ordered to set up a cannon and prepare to fight.

Every unit has a character, after Yu Dehai became famous in Nanjing, the 2nd Brigade was infected with his fiery temper, and the commander of the 22nd Regiment, Fang Wei, was also this stinky virtue, and he called out several battalion and company commanders to him, and scolded and said: "Damn!" You have all seen that Little Japan is determined to protect those traitors this time, and even so, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite. I saw that the area around here was hilly, and it was not easy to defend and attack, and there were an unknown number of cannons over there, so they all cheered me up. ”

Feng Delin stood next to watch Fang Wei's deployment, he is an old Fengjun officer, and now he is the commander of the 442nd Regiment (44th Brigade 2nd Regiment) of the 14th Division, this time after the Fengjun and the original Beiyang 20th Division were merged into the 14th Infantry Division of the National Defense Army, he opened his eyes to what is called the regular army. Not to mention anything else, after completing the formation and starting training, Commander Yang directly allocated 88 light and heavy machine guns, an artillery regiment with 36 75 guns, and also gave 24 80-mm small steel cannons (mortars), and half a year ago, he completely replaced himself with a self-produced new Type 12 rifle with 200 grenadiers.

At that time, all the old Fengjun and Beiyang officers, including Zhang Zuolin, were suppressed, and I was glad that I didn't do it against others, this firepower was too strong ()! This also made the 14th Division suddenly jump from the edge to a first-class division of the Wehrmacht. Excitement is inevitable, these people used to be able to bring a 57mm gun even if they were on display, when have they ever been so arrogant?!

However, he was born as an old bandit who licked blood from the knife edge, and understood the strength of the Japanese army, especially those veterans, who were extremely difficult, and he was still a little worried in his heart: "Commander Fang, look at the posture just now, there are also six or seven cannons, and the intelligence says that the railway escort is also here, adding up to about two thousand people, why don't you wait and ask for instructions first?" ”

Fang Wei scratched his head, didn't he say that this guy used to be a horse bandit leader who was not afraid of heaven and earth? I pinched Zhang Zuolin several times back then, why have the rules changed now? Shaking his head and saying solemnly, "There's no time to wait." An elite Japanese wing has already arrived across the river from Sinuiju, North Korea, and if it is not taken first, a wing of Japanese troops will rely on this terrain to defend against the attack of a division! The ambition of the Japanese wolf, since we were driven away from Hanyeping, they have been killed to dig up the coal and iron belonging to our country from here, and last year alone, 50,000 tons of refined iron sand and 300,000 tons of coal were transported here! They draw blood from us to build cannons and warships! After it is built, it will come to fight us again, Commander Feng, can you still wait? Now is the time when Japan's confidence is the most insufficient, there are only about 2,000 Japanese soldiers in front, our 1st Division and your 14th Division are all first-class divisions, and you are afraid of a miscellaneous army with poor equipment? ”

Although the 14th Division has been training with the 1st Division since its formation, it was only after going out that it was found that it was still inferior to others. When he went out, Commander Yue and the division commander took care that they could fight first when they encountered the Japanese army, and now everyone is directly serving with artillery, if he retreats, he has no place to put his old face, gritted his teeth and said: "Yes!" I'll go crazy with you this time! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, two "sparrows" sprang out of the oblique thorns and began to fly around the coal and iron mining area to reconnoiter and fly, in order to test whether the Japanese army still had concealed firepower, and with Feng Delin's support, Fang Wei directly shook his hand.

"Dare to bombard me with a cannon? Give me a fucking bang back! ”
