The Beiyang Army did not have any concept of the air force, and in the face of the attack of the aircraft, they had no means to deal with it, so they could only flee in a hurry. Some fled frantically, some simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, in short, crying dad and calling mother, everything.

In the face of the panicked enemy troops, it was the time when the air force showed its might, the planes adopted ultra-low-altitude flight, and constantly strafed the ground with airborne machine guns, and the Beiyang Army was swept away, and the hillside was full of dead bodies and struggling seriously wounded everywhere.

The ferocity and strength of the plane, and the sudden attack, made the Beiyang soldiers, who were already terrified, even more frightened, and they frantically fled back to their positions at the bottom of the mountain. Originally, there was also a team of warlords here to oversee it, and anyone who dared to escape from the battle would have their heads cut off by a big knife.

But in the face of the plane, these overseers couldn't stand it anymore, threw down their broadswords early, and frantically took the lead in escaping. All of these leaders have fled, and so have the others. For a time, there was a scene of thousands of people being defeated on the road west of Guangrenling, and some of the trails were even blocked.

The air force of the Feng army attacked them fiercely until all the bullets were gone, and when they saw that the fuel was not enough, they flew back. The plane left, and these Beiyang troops barely returned to normal, and Qu Tongfeng also took his cronies and hurriedly gathered the soldiers.

By the time they were all put together, his face had turned into a bitter melon, and there were less than 8,000 of the 11,000-strong troops left, of which more than 1,000 died in the battle, and the other nearly 2,000 were all losses caused by aircraft.

Of course, the dozen or so planes did not have such great power, and less than 200 people were actually killed, and the rest of the soldiers fled in panic. Qu Tongfeng, who was the division commander, was also frightened, and he had no good way to deal with the plane. Moreover, the large-scale appearance of airplanes means that the reinforcements of the Feng army are also about to arrive.

Come to think of it. Qu Tongfeng was constantly chilling all over his body, and the cold air was coming from the root of his neck. Beiyang has a huge advantage in troops, but it has not yet taken Chengde, which is garrisoned by thousands of remnants, which means that the two sides have a huge gap in combat effectiveness, if the Feng army is really elite, how should they deal with it!

Thinking of this, Qu Tongfeng had completely lost the confidence to fight, and hurriedly asked Xu Shuzheng for help. At this time, Xiao Xu was also worried about this, and just when the Beiyang Army was about to take Chengde, a large number of planes appeared on their heads. The casualties caused by the indiscriminate bombardment were not too great, with only more than 100 dead and less than 200 injured. However, the participation of the air force in the war seriously undermined Beiyang's confidence, and the soldiers did not dare to continue fighting in the city. can only retreat from Chengde.

Xu Shuzheng also found Zhang Huaizhi and Chen Wenyun, and the three of them looked at each other. The low-hanging victory is gone. Next, they will have to face the powerful attack of the Feng army, whether they can withstand it or not, no one knows the bottom of their hearts, and the gap in equipment between the two sides can be seen from the air force alone.

"Supervisor, the Feng army is fierce, I can't see the enemy." Chen Wenyun said on the side: "Our army broke through the pass of the Great Wall this time. Entering Rehe, it has greatly increased the prestige of the central government and severely damaged the morale of the Feng army. ”

Chen Wenyun found a decent step for Xu Shuzheng. Zhang Huaizhi on the side was still a little unconvinced, as an old Beiyang, he still had a trace of pride, thinking that his troops were the best in the world, if he didn't even see the large army of the Feng army, he retreated like this, it was really a bit embarrassing.

Xiao Xu was indecisive at this time, his mind was full of cranky thoughts, and at this time, it was only about twenty kilometers away from Chengde, and a force of less than twenty armored vehicles was marching rapidly, kicking up a huge cloud of dust behind the convoy, covering the sky and the sun.

Aiding Chengde was actually a comprehensive use of new tactics, Zhang Tinglan mobilized a total of thirty-two armored vehicles, and let these steel behemoths act as the lead, using the advantage of speed to quickly assist the Feng army trapped in Chengde.

Along the way, the armored vehicles traveled less than 200 kilometers in total, but there were more than 20 of them lying on their stomachs, and after emergency repairs, they were able to reach the periphery of Chengde, and only 20 were left in basically good condition, which was also a very depressing thing. However, this is true for any new equipment, to move from immaturity to maturity, in fact, twenty vehicles can rush here, and they can already burn high incense.

It is Zhang Tingshu who is in charge of this armored force, the father and the eldest brother have risen one step higher and become the masters of the three eastern provinces, Zhang Tingshu's identity has also risen, and many people have focused their public relations on the second young master.

Outsiders flock to it, but Second Young Master Zhang has no interest in these guys, and the main spiritual head is placed on the army, especially with the improvement of the industrial level in Northeast China, more and more new equipment has appeared. Zhang Tingshu is most interested in the armor liliang, this thing has a strong body, fierce firepower, superior maneuverability, and is definitely a weapon with broad development prospects.

In particular, Fengjun is developing a new tank equipped with a 37-mm gun, which is far more powerful than armored vehicles, and is what Second Young Master Zhang admires the most. Zhang Xueliang likes to play with airplanes, and he loves tanks and armored vehicles. Zhang Tingshu also had the momentum to specialize, collected a large number of materials on the use of European tanks, and studied diligently, and the Feng army had just begun to equip such weapons, and the research was not deep.

Zhang Tingshu could only discuss some new ideas with Zhang Tinglan, Zhang Tinglan initially thought that he was just a temporary interest, but after observation, he found that Zhang Tingshu did have a very good talent for the use of mechanized liliang.

Zhang Tinglan was relieved and boldly handed over the armored car brigade to him to manage, and the second young master took a brief rest, nibbled on a few mouthfuls of dry and hard steamed buns, and then said to all the soldiers: "Brothers, the front is Chengde, logically speaking, we should wait for the follow-up infantry to arrive and provide us with cover before we can attack." But I don't think the Beiyang Army has seen armored vehicles at all, and they don't have anti-tank artillery, they don't have grenade blasters, and they don't have training. As soon as they see our armored vehicles, they will flee, so we will immediately enter Chengde and let the Beiyang Army know how powerful we are! ”

These armored soldiers are also masters who are not afraid of heaven and earth, and when they heard Zhang Tingshu's proposal, they all agreed very much, and after getting into the vehicle, they lined up in two columns. swept in the direction of Chengde.

At a distance of less than twenty kilometers, it was possible to kill with a single charge, and this was also the first time that the Feng army used armored liliang on a large scale. Zhang Tingshu and the others all shaved joy and moved forward at this fastest speed. Seeing that the sun was about to set in the west, the red sunset lit up the entire sky.

Chengde, which had just been ravaged by the war, revealed a strange tranquility, and the Beiyang Army was losing ground and did not know what to do. At this moment, a loud roar was heard on the eastern horizon, and all the Beiyang troops standing guard were startled. They thought it was the plane coming again, and some of them even looked around for a place to hide, and the lesson the plane taught them was too profound.

But they waited for a long time, but they didn't notice anything in the air, but a huge amount of dust rose on the ground in the distance. In the dust, I faintly saw some fast-moving objects. The Beiyang Army was first taken aback by the plane. It's already a bit of a frightened bird. Now that they saw the unknown weapon again, each of them had a little weakness in their legs and stomachs, and they had a desire to escape.

Gradually, the armored vehicles got closer and closer, and some Beiyang sentries reluctantly rushed up, far away, and shot these steel monsters with carbines. But the bullet hit the car, only splashed a spark, and did not hurt the armored car in the slightest. The people were scared again.

There is no way to fight this battle, and the Feng army always comes up with a bunch of strange things. They haven't even seen each other, so how can they deal with people. The sentinels were all scattered in all directions, running around like wild ducks.

Zhang Tingshu kept his head exposed on the outside of the armored car, carefully observed the situation of the Beiyang Army, and was so happy to see these guys fleeing in front of him, and commanded all the vehicles to crash directly into the position of the Beiyang Army.

On the way to the scene, two more armored vehicles lay on their stomachs, and only eighteen of Zuihou actually arrived on the battlefield, but this did not hinder the huge momentum in the slightest. These armored vehicles were lined up in a wild goose formation, with their wings extended, galloping, and behind them were high dust that filled the sky, and it was impossible to see how many vehicles there were from a distance.

When the Beiyang soldiers saw this situation, they were all frightened and stupid, and they didn't know how to deal with it at all, the vehicles were getting closer and closer, and they easily ran over a trench, and some obstacles placed did not have any effect, these armored vehicles moved forward bravely, without any obstruction, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived at the position of the Beiyang Army two hundred meters away

Only then did the two machine guns fire wildly, and the Heavy tried to strafe the guys, but apart from splashing a string of sparks, it had no effect, it was like tickling, and it didn't do anything at all.

And the machine guns on the armored car finally fired, two machine guns spit flames, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen soldiers were smashed to pieces, and both machine guns also stopped sounding. Then the armored vehicle moved quickly, mercilessly running over the machine gun position, the huge track pressing on the machine gun, and the killing weapon instantly turned into a pile of twisted parts.

Seeing such a murderous scene, those Beiyang troops finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to flee frantically, fear was like a plague, spreading among the Beiyang army, and more and more people joined the ranks of fleeing.

Zhang Tingshu was triumphant, the second young master had never been so majestic, he commanded the armored vehicles to advance rapidly as if they were in a no-man's land, and everywhere they went, the Beiyang Army all fled frantically, and they did not dare to fight at all.

At this time, a huge cloud of smoke and dust appeared in the north, and it was rapidly rushing towards this side. This is officially the Rehe Cavalry Brigade commanded by Wu Kaijie. It turned out that this unit was stationed in Chifeng, as long as it fought against the Mongolian bandits, Zhang Tinglan naturally transferred this unit in order to aid Chengde this time.

Wu Kaijie and they often chase the bandits, and they have long learned the tactics of one person and two horses, and after getting the order, they also rushed to Chengde at the fastest speed, and they didn't feel sorry for the war horses at all. But in a hurry, they were still one step behind, and the armored corps was already in the battle.

Wu Kaijie could only command the cavalry, following the opening of the armored car and quickly following up. With the cavalry behind to help, the armored vehicle did not have to worry about being attacked from the side, and Zhang Tingshu was even more fearless and attacked the depth of the Beiyang Army.

Xu Shuzheng and the others were still discussing where to go in the command headquarters, and the staff officer ran in in a panic, and said as soon as they met: "Supervisor, the reinforcements of the Feng army have arrived, all of them are steel chariots, and the brothers don't know how to deal with it, they are all stupid and run away!" ”

As soon as Xiao Xu heard this report, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he almost fell to the ground, he still had some knowledge, knowing that Feng Jun had displayed this weapon in the military parade, but he didn't expect to use it on his body now.

Xu Shuzheng gritted his teeth and said: "Is there a demon in the Feng army, Beiyang has the resources of the central government, and it is a great shame that the weapons and equipment are seriously lagging behind them!" ”

"Supervisor, there is no time to sigh now, let's retreat quickly, at least stabilize the morale of the army first, and then fight!" Chen Wenyun couldn't help but say.

Xu Shuzheng nodded reluctantly: "Division Commander Zhang, Division Commander Chen, after each of you leaves one regiment to break down, the other armies will temporarily retreat." (To be continued......)
