The sky collapsed, and a large number of pigtail soldiers were directly torn to pieces in the explosion without resistance, or buried alive by the tossed earth. The barracks collapsed, the flames were splashing, the smoke was filled, and the barracks that had just been sunny, seemed to have become hell.

Everyone was frightened by this sudden blow, and the Braided Army had fought a few times, and he had never encountered this situation in front of him.

"Run, run!" I don't know who shouted such a sentence first, although it was not obvious in the continuous explosions, but after everyone came back to their senses, they all reacted normally. Most of them didn't even think of fighting back, probably because they had experience in fighting birds, and how difficult it was for the rifle to hit a bird in the air. What's more, such a big guy can't take down that big guy right away with one or two shots.

The twelve planes did not fly with full loads, but each of them carried 1.2 tons of bombs. ALMOST MORE THAN A THOUSAND ROUNDS OF CONCENTRATED SHELLING OF 75MM ARTILLERY SHELLS. In the past, tens of thousands of people under Zhang Xun's command could not consume so many shells in a battle, and the consequences of a thousand people facing such concentrated firepower can be imagined. The intensity of the explosion was simply unheard of. Fortunately, the aviation department mobilized all temporary mixed teams with the best flying skills, and the explosion was controlled in a relatively concentrated area, and did not spread in large quantities, otherwise it would be a huge damage to Beijing, and the current damage is still within the controllable range, after all, it is only some military camps.

Not to mention that the pigtail army has not experienced such an intense artillery bombardment, this blow from the air is simply impossible to resist, and seeing the planes circling in the sky, no one will think that they can run faster than it.

AT THIS TIME, THE MAINSTREAM CANNON OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA WAS A 75MM CALIBER. In a small area, thousands of shells were fired, and the shock brought to people can be imagined. The entire Braided Army barracks turned into a sea of fire. The barracks of thousands of people were directly blown up, and there was no resistance, and all the soldiers fled in terror in all directions.

"This...."Qin Guoyong saw the scene of the sky falling apart in the distance, and several of his students were so surprised that they couldn't make the slightest sound, and their mouths opened wide.

Not only Qin Guoyong and others, but the bombing of the pigtail army camp had already caused a sensation in the entire city of Beijing at this time. The consuls of other countries were also shocked by the twelve planes in the sky. Changing to your own bomber, I'm afraid it's just that.

After the group finished bombing the barracks, it began to soar in the sky, and at the moment when it almost caused panic in the city, a large number of pieces of paper flew on it, scattering everywhere in the wind.

"Headmaster, there's something written on it." After discovering that it wasn't a bomb, everyone settled down a bit. Wang Zhenyi picked up a piece of paper first.

Qin Guoyong also picked up one from under his feet.

"The disaster of the Republic of China began with the imperial system. Since the fifth year of the Republic of China. The situation of national reunification has collapsed, and now there are wars everywhere, and the people are struggling to make a living. I can't help but sigh. Zhang Xun does not measure his own strength, and vainly tries to do things against the sky with his own strength, which is tantamount to self-destruction. Now tens of thousands of rebel troops have gathered in Tianjin, and they can attack Beijing overnight. Now use thunder to deter it, in the hope that Zhang Xun can understand the reason that there is no luck. If you do not resist fearlessly, you can still get leniency. If it doesn't work. Coerced Beijing to self-respect and put the city of Beijing under destruction. From officers to ordinary soldiers, the Northeast Army will be held accountable to the end. Where the people are disturbed, I hope that all sectors of society will understand the suffering of the army. ”

"Headmaster, there's still one over here." Bai Mingyin pointed to the other side of the paper.

"The aircraft used today is a beacon of fire. The implication is to stop the chaos of the Republic of China and calm the wars everywhere. The Beacon bomber was designed and manufactured by Mukden itself. It has a bomb load of up to 1 tonne and flies at speeds of over 150 km/h. Its performance has been among the most advanced bombers in the world. In the European theater, aircraft can already decide the outcome of a war. Future wars will also be full of more variables with the development of science and technology. The development of the beacon fire is a precedent in the history of the Republic of China, the beacon fire is Fengtian, but also the entire Republic of China, and in the future, the beacon will become a sharp weapon for consolidating national defense. ”

The five-color republican flag on the fleet that gallops in and out of the sky like a knight makes it even more eye-catching.

"Beacon, Beacon, it's wonderful." Wang Zhenyi and the others chanted it several times in a row, and they were so excited that they almost trembled with it. "Unexpectedly, I really can't imagine that Mukden can not only build its own aircraft, but also build bombers that can compete with the great powers. The development of aircraft in our Republic of China is not much behind the great powers. ”

The earth-shattering bombardment of the Braided Army camp just now has already told everyone with the facts the power of the beacon fire. The pigeon plane that the Nanyuan Aviation School bought from the foreign powers three or four years ago, the training plane was also considered to be a midstream aircraft at that time, and when it was exterminating Bai Lang, the aviation school also flew an airplane to drop earth bombs on the heads of the bandits, but it was more for reconnaissance purposes, warning the ground troops about the direction of Bai Lang's army's escape.

Qin Guoyong never expected that in a few years, Fengtian had developed the aircraft to such a ground, and the braided army camp in the distance was in a sea of fire, and it was a mess everywhere. Everywhere there were frightened and fleeing Braided Army soldiers. Mukden's claim that the bombers had decided the outcome of the war did not raise the slightest suspicion. There were hundreds or thousands of people on the side of the pigtail army, and the Fengtian side, without any losses, crossed hundreds of kilometers across the border to attack Beijing, directly defeating more than a thousand pigtail troops, such a terrifying combat power. In contrast, Nanyuan's planes can only be regarded as decorations.

"Unexpectedly, really unexpectedly, Fengtian can build such an advanced fighter by itself, the effect is so great, it is shocking, and it is comparable to the great powers, good, good, just talking about it, there is a confidence that dares to compete with the countries of the world. Zhao Yunpeng: They are the right one. Qin Guoyong couldn't hide his excitement, Yuan Shikai was called emperor, and then to the current restoration of Zhang Xun, the funding of Nanyuan Aviation School was almost cut off, and it was difficult to continue at this time. A few years ago, Qin Guoyong and others, who were once full of confidence in the aircraft, were also ready to show their skills. But the cruel truth is always very helpless. What I never expected was that Fengtian did something that even the central government couldn't do. Although these planes are not Nanyuan's. But Qin Guoyong was also sincerely happy and proud of it.

Due to the bombing of the military camp, Beijing, which had not been in war for several years, fell into panic for a while, and the gentry officials were frightened and panicked. However, the countless pieces of paper scattered from the sky calmed the mood of the officials and people in Beijing, and the heavenly group circled several times before heading north.

The advent of the Beacon bomber boosted the morale of the officials and people in Beijing. The morale of the Republic of China has been suppressed for too long, and Mukden was able to create bombers that could compete with the great powers. Such a feat. It can not only effectively consolidate national defense, but also make the people who have been in a state of oppression raise their eyebrows. Although the Republic of China was backward at this time, it was also growing tenaciously. It can also create advanced aircraft that make foreigners look sideways. The tragic situation of the Braided Army barracks made everyone see that the restoration of the imperial system had become impossible. Although the momentum was deceitful, most of the bombardment was concentrated in the barracks and did not spread. Any war kills people, and the city gate is on fire, and the fish in the pond are affected.

Ordinary people are used to this kind of thing, and they can only blame their own bad luck, and those in power will not take this little thing to heart. It is enough to win the battle. However, it is the first time that people have encountered a public apology to the affected citizens like Qin Yu. Although their identities are very different, the people of Beijing can feel that Qin Yu does not regard them as dispensable. The deterrence of Zhang Xun this time was so that Beijing could avoid war in the future and use peaceful means to quell the rebellion.

"Why didn't you inform me in advance of such a big matter?" When Li Jingxi rushed to Zhang Xun's house, Zhang Xun was watching a play. This big old man is usually not very close to women. However, he has a special interest in watching dramas, which is such a big thing as entering Beijing for restoration. Zhang Xun will not forget his hobby.

"Lao Jiu, don't blame, in terms of your qualifications, of course, you have the hope of being the prime minister, but your future was cut off by a braid. I'll think for you, it's really not worth it. Zhang Xun looked at Li Jingxi and said with some regret. But he secretly had some disdain in his heart, this old guy really thought that it was Li Hongzhang who represented the most restored era of the Li family's modern times. Li Jingxi is the son of Li Hongzhang's younger brother Li Hezhang, and he is the most prominent person in the Li family after Li Hongzhang. I have done Yunnan, Guizhou. The governor of Guangxi, who later achieved the position of governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, was one of the nine feudal officials of the Qing Dynasty. The qualifications are not generally old.

"Is that really the case?" Li Jingxi said a little angrily. "Then what does Li Shengyi say, he didn't cut his braids differently, and now he is also a secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry and Commerce?"

"Li Shangshu has contributed a lot to the restoration, if you want to serve the imperial court again, you should go back as soon as possible to accumulate hair, and then I will try to do it for you." Zhang Xun said.

Li Jingxi laughed, "I'm afraid that my hair will grow by then, and it won't help." ”

As the two were talking, an earth-shattering explosion was heard in the distance. Zhang Xun and Li Jingxi were taken aback.

"What happened, who was in the city to shoot the cannons?" Zhang Xun's reaction was particularly great, this time he brought less than 7,000 troops to the city, controlling Li Jincai, Chen Guangyuan's two divisions were walking on thin ice, relying on the previous momentum can still be maintained, but it is an indisputable fact that the number of troops is too small, if there is a repetition of things, Zhang Xun does not think that only six or seven thousand people can control the overall situation in Beijing. Fengtian Qin Yu raised troops to the south, Duan Qirui immediately announced his opposition to the imperial system, which made him feel like he was roasted on a fire, at first Zhang Xun only thought that it was a mistake in the city, but one after another, the sound of explosions of increasing scale couldn't help but make him feel different.

"Lord, lord, it's not good, the big camp has blown up over there." The guard ran over to Zhang Xun with a sad face. After the restoration, Zhang Xun became the loyal and brave prince of the Qing Dynasty, so he had this title.

"Put your mother's bullshit, Lao Tzu's camp is located in the city, that is, the 11th and 12th divisions want to rebel, and Lao Tzu will also receive the news in advance, now there is such a big movement, almost all the artillery of the two divisions have been pulled over, and Lao Tzu will not know until the fight starts?" Zhang Xun was furious at the incompetence of his subordinates.

The guards couldn't figure out what was going on over there for a moment.

But immediately someone ran in from outside in a panic, "Lord Wang, no." Oh no, a flock of big birds came from the sky and threw bombs at our barracks, and now the barracks has been blown up directly, and no one can get in or out. ”

Hearing this guard's report, Zhang Xun felt even more ridiculous. With one kick, the soldier in front of him was loyal to a, and he walked out with a step. Zhang Xun is a person who has led troops to fight, in contrast, although Li Jingxi, who was born in Jinshi, has been the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, after all, he is a literati, and his reaction is much worse than Zhang Xun.

When Zhang Xun went out, he could vaguely see more than a dozen small black dots in the sky hovering back and forth in the air in the distance, and the military camp had turned into a sea of fire, and the firelight and black smoke rose in the military camp like raindrops. Zhang Xun couldn't help but feel cold in his hands and feet, in that case, don't talk about commanding, even if you get close to the past, you will be blown to pieces, Nanyuan's plane is known to him, Nanyuan is controlled by Li Kuiyuan of the 11th Division, and Zhang Xun can't do anything over there. However, according to his information, most of Nanyuan's planes can only be used as decorations. It didn't have much practical effect, let alone caused the tragic situation like the sky falling apart in front of us. Go without saying. After such a disaster, my two battalions may not be able to survive, and even those who remain may be broken and embarrassed. What the hell are those dozen planes in the sky? Fear comes from the unknown, and the scene in front of him is far beyond the cognition of Zhang Xun. unimaginable. More than a dozen things can cause such damage, even if dozens of cannons are fired in a salvo together, limited to the accuracy of the cannons, I am afraid that they will not be able to achieve the lethality in front of them. What's more, the cannon is inconvenient to transport, and it is impossible to hide it from his ears and eyes. The group of planes in front of you came from the air, and it was impossible to defend against it.

Watching the group of planes in the air wreak havoc on the barracks, Zhang Xun, who was also conceited and experienced in a hundred battles, stood aside weakly, and there was no solution to the accident in front of him. Until the group of planes in the sky is gone.

"The king, the king." Outside, a soldier picked up a piece of paper from the plane and handed it back to Zhang Xun.

"Qin Yu-" Zhang Xun hurriedly looked at it, his face was even paler, and these two words popped out of his teeth. This person who makes him hate to the core, and he is helpless, what is even more terrifying is that Fengtian actually has such a sharp weapon as beacon fire, and destroying his two battalions of troops is like child's play, it is hard to imagine that once Qin Yu's army attacks Beijing, it will first use these dozen planes to bomb the city indiscriminately, and the city will not even be able to stay still, and the opponent's army will enter the city easily.

Li Jingxi also saw the movement in the distance, and at this time he was no longer dissatisfied because he failed to obtain an official position in the restoration, but directly slipped away silently. Although he didn't know what happened to Lu Dao at this time, the turmoil in Beijing showed that Zhang Xun did not have a good grasp of the situation at this time, and the restoration was still full of uncertainties. Li Jingxi, who has been in the officialdom for many years, feels that the restoration may not be as smooth as Zhang Xun said.

The twelfth and thirteenth divisions are afraid that they are not so easy to master. Zhang Xun's face was cloudy, if the army under his command could always be strong, and the powerful factions in other places were in a wait-and-see attitude, even if the army stationed in Beijing did not surrender to him, it would not be able to fight back. But everyone has the habit of beating water dogs, and if he Zhang Xun loses his power, I am afraid that the 12th and 13th divisions, as well as the 11th division stationed in Nanyuan, will first pounce viciously and bite him. Although the Feng army at this time did not make a move, it had already shown absolute strength, which his army could not compete with at all. Zhang Xun, who originally thought that everything was under control, was inevitably a little flustered at this time, although he hated Qin Yu, but what made Zhang Xun hate even more was the local powerful factions who signed the Xuzhou meeting but did not fulfill their promises. Only now did Zhang Xun realize that he might have been tricked by someone else.

If something big happens in Beijing, it will soon spread throughout the country. It didn't take long for the news of the Beacon Squad breaking through the two battalions of the Braided Army with a thunderous force to become known. The name of the Beacon Bomber also spread. In the place with the most foreign consular offices in Beijing, the officials of the Republic of China did not know the goods, but those foreign military attaches were not fools, and the strong side of the beacon fire shocked the foreigners.

Beijing Daily claimed that the development of the Beacon bomber was a major breakthrough in the history of aircraft manufacturing for the whole of Asia, and that if the same achievements could be made in fighter aircraft, the level of aircraft manufacturing in the Republic of China would be on a par with that of Europe.

The American newspaper even exclaimed that Mukden had built a more advanced bomber than the United States, which was simply incredible, and at this time, the bomb load of the Condor 2 of the United Arms Corporation had only grown to 1.5 tons.

Compared with the surprise of these Caucasians, the reaction of the Japanese and Italian newspapers was more unusual, claiming that Mukden was just picking up some wisdom from the Westerners, and that both the bomber performance and the bombing concept were far behind the West.

All kinds of mixed voices cannot affect the fact that Beacon has become a famous machine of the Republic of China.

At this time, Lieutenant General Aoki Yamada, who assisted Duan Qirui in planning military operations, Tanaka Yoshiichi, who played a special role in Zhang Xun's restoration, and Lin Quansuke, minister to China, sat in the embassy with a solemn face at this time. What Aoki Yamada was holding in his hand was the piece of paper dropped from the sky by the Beacon Bomber.

"Minister Xianxian, Tanaka-kun, it seems that the Empire has seriously underestimated the potential of Mukden, and according to the Empire's intelligence agencies in Europe, if the performance parameters of the Beacon are not exaggerated, the performance of this bomber is more advanced than the vast majority of bombers currently used by both belligerents. With a bomb load of up to 2 tons, more than a dozen aircraft, the threat of which already far exceeded the artillery possessed by a division of the Reich. With the combat power that Beacon is currently showing, it can strike at the Imperial Brigade at any time. And the imperial divisions in the Kwantung region, under the attack of the beacon fire, did not have any means to compete with it. Aoki Yamada's tone was unprecedentedly calm, all of which came from the pressure brought to them by the beacon fire. (To be continued......)
