Many years later, I wrote a story about the assassination of the Republic of China, and the assassination of Wang Zhenyu must be a main theme.

However, the mastermind of Zheng'er Bajing's first assassination of Wang Zhenyu was indeed Yuan Shikai, and this time Lao Yuan was not wronged.

This time, Wang Zhenyu was assassinated by agents of the Beiyang Jingshi Military and Political Law Enforcement Department, who had infiltrated Anjiang as businessmen in early February. There are a total of nine people, all of whom are carefully selected talents, including telegraph masters and strange people. Lei Zhenchun has used all the wizards he can use, and there is only one goal, to kill Wang Zhenyu.

It's a pity that Wang Zhenyu doesn't know what kind of wind to smoke this month, but for a full month, he didn't even go out of the door, and nested in Wenlu and the administrative building every day. In the entire Anjiang, the most heavily defended is Wang Zhenyu's station, and there are more than 300 guards directly under the attendant office who are responsible for the defense here. In the surrounding area, there are more than 2,000 people from a regiment belonging to the Guards Brigade and more than 1,000 people from the special brigade of the public security detachment. These 3,000 people were not the guards of the Yamen, the governor of Liangguang in the late Qing Dynasty, they were all officers and soldiers who had to participate in front-line battles and were politically innocent, so it was impossible to learn from Huang Xing and 100 of them to attack 3,000 people.

As for the assassination, it is even more impossible, because Anjiang is different from other cities in China, and the residential area and the administrative area are completely separated. Entering and leaving the administrative area itself is a very troublesome matter, and the military and police are very strict in checking, and almost every non-staff member is checked three times. Fearing exposure, they went on reconnaissance twice and did not dare to go again. So it's to sneak in and sneak around Wenlu, let alone the challenging work of going in to kill people or killing big bosses.

What surprised these people even more was that in Anjiang, they couldn't even find a decent gang, and it was even more difficult to find people who were dissatisfied with Wang Zhenyu. This is too contrary to the general social theorem, is this Anjiang still in China?

It is a very employable city, there is no unemployment, all people are allocated housing, and children receive six years of free education. Most of the gang members were turned into law enforcement officers by Zhao'an, and they were treated well, were very respected, and were not guilty of extortion. Of course, human nature is inherently evil, and evil still exists, but the sound judicial system of this city made them quickly give up the idea of getting rich, because the cost is too high to bear, and this city is destined to only Wang Zhenyu is the only one who can get rich. So these nine people had no idea where to start, and at this time, Lei Zhenchun's telegram came, and the content was just six words: "My mother is critically ill, return quickly!" ”

On March 26, nine people met at a teahouse to discuss countermeasures. At this time, He Jian's adjutant Liu Junqiang personally led more than 60 selected members of the special operations team directly under the Military Intelligence Bureau to surround the teahouse, and the nine people were caught off guard and were arrested by these team members on the spot. Under torture to extract confessions, the nine heroes recruited everything, but unfortunately there was nothing too nutritious, the only thing they knew was that the nine of them were just the advance.

But this is enough, He Jian was rewarded by the attendant for cracking this case, and Liu Junqiang, who was in charge of the arrest operation, was personally received by Wang Zhenyu and was appointed as the deputy director of the Guangdong station of the Military Intelligence Bureau and the director of the Guangzhou station.

The assassination attempt came to an end for the time being, as the war began to reach its climax.

Because of the accidental death of the two generals, the Beiyang Army's attack on Tongling was postponed for three days. At this time, Tao Zhiyue had already built a defensive line four kilometers long and five kilometers deep in Tongling. All kinds of firepower points were set up very reasonably, just waiting for the Beiyang Army to pounce on them alive and dead.

At this time, Bai Chongxi's attack on the left side obviously did not go as smoothly as expected.

The defense line of the Yuxi River, which was originally pinned on by Feng Guozhang's high hopes, was easily broken through by Bai Chongxi's troops in less than a minute, but Bai Chongxi soon found that he had made a mistake in judgment, that is, Zhang Xun and his Dingwu army did not intend to defend the Yuxi River at all.

The more than 20,000 Dingwu troops all retreated to Hexian County, and were firmly entrenched there, waiting for the arrival of Bai Chongxi's army.

At this time, the most embarrassing person is not someone else but Bai Chongxi, at this time, no one can ignore the enemy on both sides of him and continue to attack regardless of it, then it is pointless to do so, even if he takes Pukou. Now it's Bai Chongxi's turn to boast about Haikou from Li Zongren at the beginning, how to fight, this is a problem?

After thinking about it again and again, Bai Chongxi suddenly made up his mind, and he told Liao Lei very firmly, Li Pinxian said: "No matter what the cost, within three days, take Hexian County and completely defeat the Dingwu army." ”

Liao Lei hesitated for a moment and said, "Commander-in-chief, what if Zhang Huaizhi makes a move at this time?" ”

Bai Chongxi picked up a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate Cheng Qian's fighting spirit, people are in a hurry to find a name now?" ”

And Li Pinxian hesitated for a moment and asked: "Brother Jiansheng, weishenme, what if we want to go all out to solve the Dingwu Army and let the Beiyang Fifth Division go?" Are they all behind us? ”

Bai Chongxi stood up and said: "To command a war, you must learn to grasp the priorities, and now there is only one key point in the entire battlefield, that is, Zhang Xun's Dingwu Army." They are stuck in Hexian County, like a fish bone in our throat. If we don't clean them up, Zhang Huaizhi will stick our necks with them. But if we successfully clean them up, I can say a word here, borrow two guts, he Zhang Huaizhi will not dare to move, and even he will retreat towards Huaibei, in this case, even one division of Cheng Qian is enough to protect our flank. Hmph, it's time for them to be in Beiyang, and they haven't forgotten the internal factions. Based on this alone, I dare to say that he, Feng Guozhang, will undoubtedly lose this battle, and our army will win. ”

Hearing Bai Chongxi's analysis, everyone was immediately relieved......

In Anjiang, Wang Zhenyu is warmly receiving a group of very important guests, and after this meeting, Wang Zhenyu plans to set up his own camp in Changsha, which can be regarded as a front command.

Before leaving, Wang Zhenyu received a total of four guests, namely Tan Gen, Zhu Zhuquan, Zhu Zhaohuai and Situ Biru. The four of them have three characteristics in common, the first is that they are all Cantonese, the second is that they are all young people in their twenties, and the third is that they were all assistants to Feng Ru, the father of the Chinese Air Force.

Among these four people, Tan Gen is the most famous, and this kid is the first person in China's seaplane. Originally, all four of them were in Guangzhou, but after the Youth Army entered Guangzhou, these four failed to leave, and were immediately placed under house arrest by the Youth Army.

Before Wang Zhenyu marched into Guangdong, he sent the Military Intelligence Bureau to check on Feng Ru's assistants, because these people did not exist in history textbooks. But for the MIA, this is a small matter. Therefore, after learning that the four people were caught, Wang Zhenyu was very happy at that time to order to treat these people and their families well, and then persuade them to come to Anjiang to see him as soon as possible.

These four people still have a certain antipathy to a big warlord like Wang Zhenyu, but with the increasing stability of the city of Guangzhou, various media have vigorously advocated propaganda, and after hesitating for more than a month, the four finally decided to go to Anjiang to meet Wang Zhenyu, a reactionary warlord. You must know that before this, the four of them had already decided to defect to Sun Yat-sen. After hearing the news, Wang Zhenyu had to sigh that his reputation was still not as good as Sun Yat-sen, and he had to continue to work hard.

Speaking of the Air Force had to be a great moment, on December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers of the United States used Jishu, who repaired bicycles, and on the basis of fruitful improvements to previous gliders, built the first real airplane on the Shijie, the "Aviator" No. 1. The aircraft is 6.43 meters long, has a wingspan of 12.3 meters, weighs 340 kilograms, and has a 12 hp diesel engine on board. At 10:35 a.m., his younger brother Orwell. Wright bravely boarded the plane, becoming the first person in human history to take to the skies. Although the flight was not very successful, it marked the dawn of the era of flight, which ushered in a new era in aviation.

In 1909, the U.S. Army was equipped with the first military aircraft on the Shijie. On October 23, 1911, Italy used airplanes for the first time while fighting Turkey. Subsequently, military aircraft have been rapidly developed in Germany, Britain, France and other European countries. Of course, the aircraft were initially used primarily on the battlefield for reconnaissance and communications, but on the battlefield they inevitably encountered enemy aircraft, and the pilots of that time had to fire at each other with the infantry weapons they carried with them. For this reason, various countries have installed machine guns with more lethal power on their aircraft, which has led to the emergence of aircraft-fighters, which are mainly used in aerial combat, and soon bombers, which are mainly used to strike at ground targets.

Since World War I, the role of the air force has become more and more important, and Wang Zhenyu's understanding of Shijie military clearly told him that with the current situation in China, if you want to make a major breakthrough in the military, you must work the air force.

So these four people became his hope for the development of the air force, because Wang Zhenyu knew very well that in the promotion and application of the new jishu, he must not believe in the sincerity of the foreign powers, which has been proved by the Westernization movement.

The meeting was a success and pleasant, but Wang Zhenyu did not bring in the four men in the hope that they would form an air force, but to serve as engineers for China Airlines, which was about to start construction in Wuhan.

Wang Zhenyu even did not hesitate to allocate a huge amount of 500 million yuan from the very tight military spending to achieve this jihua, and at the same time, an infantry division codenamed 123 was specially established to protect this aviation base that was about to be set up in Jiangxia. This 123rd Division was later known as the Shijie 123 Airborne Division, which made many meritorious contributions in the war against the Soviet Union, and was personally ordered by the Supreme Command to confirm that it was included in one of the 13 permanent reserve heroic units, which is a later story.
