Chapter Ninety-Eight: Defection
In October 1704, the Great Revolutionary War broke out on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the victory and defeat situation was already very obvious, and the second decisive battle of the republican army broke out in Jiujiang after the East China Campaign. The regimental training brought from all over the local council and the Ming army organized by Zhuangding began training with the support of Hai Song, and was equipped with a large number of weapons and artillery purchased from Hai Song and pulled to the battlefield. In the vicinity of Jiujiang, Jiangxi, the newly formed six imperial armies of 200,000 people were under the command of Hai Song Shang# General Bei Chengxing. With seven ironclad ships of 3,000 to 4,000 tons as the river fire support, 135 fighters fought in the sky.
On the Republican side, there are a total of 250,000 Republican troops in the two military regions of the Southeast Military Region and the East China Military Region. In this operation, the Republican Army used a total of 874 aircraft, and the average life of aircraft engines was only 120 hours. However, in this air battle, the inferiority of the Republican Army's aircraft could not be seen, and Li Ziming prepared a large number of ground crews for this air force unit, accurately calculated the flight time of the aircraft, and then replaced the parts. The engine cylinder is deformed, no problem, Ren Di can directly use the deformation force field to recast and forge the processing, eliminate metal fatigue, and then use it again. On the contrary, the Ming Empire's aircraft ground support obviously did not have a set of strictly forbidden systems, in this fierce air battle, although the performance of the Republican Army's aircraft was inferior, but the attendance rate of the pilots was far higher than that of the Empire. For the first time, the horn of the bayonet was sounded in this air battle, and Hai Song's fighter planes were equipped with machine gun coordinators, and the Republican Army did not show any weakness here, and also returned fire with machine guns. From time to time on the battlefield, the planes of both sides were seen stretching each other, circling and rolling sideways, entangled with each other.
The Imperial Army is superior to the abundant experience, and the Republican Army is superior to the large number of pilots, and the pilots have the spirit of sacrifice to take the initiative to attack in order to cooperate with tactics. The result of the air battle was that the Republican Army won, because Hai Song did not treat the Republican Army as an industrial country at all. The Republican Army has the capacity to produce aircraft.
The air force of a country that has the ability to produce aircraft and the air force that does not have the ability to produce aircraft are two concepts, the air force is not the one that the aircraft and the pilots are gone, even with the maintenance personnel on the ground, and the backup production parts system, it has become a so-called air force power by buying planes alone, and the country in the Rendi plane that is famous for buying planes and dropping planes is an example. This black pot can't be relied on specifically on the ground staff of the Sanguo family, because the problems of foreign aircraft cannot be solved by the ground crew, because too many parts cannot be made in China. Even if the ground crew knows about the parts on the plane, all he can do is look at the scrapped aircraft warehouse to see if he can find a spare part. As for domestic foreign parts? Oh, Maozi reputation!
The third brother often said that the air force of a big country is thrown out, and the more it falls, the more it flies. That's right, before Taihang was not put into service, China also dropped so many third-generation aircraft, but the crux of the problem is that the engine is Mao. The reason is that Maozi's turbofan engine is not developed by us, and it will also age and deteriorate. It's all a lesson that takes time and time again to know the quality of their products. Only our own engines can understand the maintenance standards without falling. So it's not that the engine you bought is bad, it's that the engine you bought is an outsider after all, and it's not as familiar as your own use.
The J-8 and J-7 fighters have been holding up for many years, because of the engine, as long as the engine is qualified, the most obvious phenomenon is to start a large-scale replacement of the third-generation aircraft. Those air force powers that summed up the performance experience of foreign aircraft by throwing them out are absolutely beyond the reach of the dust. The production of the war machine of the industrialized countries has absolutely no path to the sky.
Now the Republican Army has the ability to produce aircraft, and once it has this capability, the Air Force is definitely at the mass production level, and it is not difficult to produce propeller aircraft, and Germany produced 14,000 aircraft in 18 years during the one-stop period. It's a pity that Hai Song assisted more than 100 planes, and the explosive power of the Republican Army was far underestimated, and Zhao Weiguo's farming in those two years was by no means white.
Eight fight one, no matter how strong your skills are, you will be beaten to death in a group. In the sky, under the curtain of propellers between the wings, tongues of fire are stupeped, and shells are projected behind the wings in order to aim the front sight at the enemy. The blood vessels in the face protrude under the huge inertia. The earth rotates in front of you. This is a battle between pilots. Fighter jets are not civil aviation, they require passion and adventure, and this is not for girls. Two days after the fierce air battle, these eldest ladies from aristocratic families wanted to withdraw from this air battle through connections. Air combat without air supremacy is no easier than on the ground, where infantry can find cover, while the air force has nowhere to hide but clouds.
I don't know how many corners are missing, with a spiral dance with the engine destroyed, the black smoke of incomplete combustion of gasoline fell from the sky to the earth, and a terrifying flame of destruction erupted on the ground, converted from gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy, and with the impact on the ground, the wreckage of the wooden plane shattered, and the burning debris was splashed everywhere.
The same war on the ground was no less tragic for the Imperial Army. These six newly formed Imperial Army Groups have more than 200,000 people. During the training, due to the meaning of the old and weak monarchy of the Yellow Pavilion, he did not shout the slogan of loyalty to the emperor three times a day as in the previous training of the imperial army. However, it was replaced by the slogan of "Eliminate the chaos and bring peace to the world".
Elder Huang Ge and the other council lords thought they had experienced the heavens and the earth, but they still didn't understand the hearts of the soldiers. In the eyes of Huang Ge Lao, a soldier is a rotten life, and if you give money to raise it, you can form combat effectiveness in a moment of training. How much settlement fee did Huang Ge Lao give, and it really fell into the hands of Zhuang Ding's family, and this conscription fee was equivalent to all of it to the local officials who arrested Zhuang Ding. If you give money, you can recruit soldiers, and the logic is that you don't treat soldiers as people. Grab a random guy on the street in the twentieth century, make him watch a war soldier documentary, and ask him if he wants to go to Afghanistan for a million dollars to be a soldier. It is estimated that few people will go, and the price is mentioned at 10 million, and it is estimated that one out of ten people will be brave enough to go. Gambling on the Russian turntable with your life on the battlefield, neurotic?
Well, Huang Ge Lao did not give enough money to bet, this is not to use the imperial power, which the people are most afraid of, to order. As a result, the Battle of Jiujiang made a big joke for Huang Gelao.
"Brother opposite, I am Xuancheng. Sheng Village next to Hades's nose, we will attack in ten minutes, fellow villagers don't give their lives to those reactionaries, come here and have something to eat. Such shouts appeared on the positions of the Republican Army, and the provocateurs of the Imperial Army officer rank were dignified. The dialects of southern Anhui, southern Jiangsu, and Huaibei have their own characteristics, especially the imperial army's capture of Zhuangding is a region by region. All the captured Imperial soldiers were fed and shouted so from the positions the next day. This is no less powerful than washing the position with shells.
The contradiction between the officers and soldiers, who had long demanded obedience and repression, suddenly broke out in an environment that could not be released to the outside world and had been failing to die, and sometimes just after shouting, there were sporadic gunshots on the positions of the Imperial Army, and then a white flag waved, beckoning the Republican Army fellows to come over. Shouting 10,000 sentences to protect the peace of the world is at most just the stirring dream of ministers like Huang Ge Lao, and for the soldiers fighting on the front line, just one question is: "Who asked you to come to this battlefield?" Why are they persecuting you? Why can these lords persecute you? As soon as these few words are asked, there is no reason to risk death to fight on the battlefield.
In the later stages of the battle, as the supreme commander of the imperial army side of the Jiujiang Campaign, Bei Chengxing, a general from the old and famous families of the Hai Song Dynasty, complained about the battle from the beginning and turned into calm. After learning that a large part of the Imperial Army was out of the battle queue. raised his pen and wrote a sentence: "The journey of Yin Shang, it will be like a forest" and this sentence comes from "The Book of Songs, Daya", which is ironically called "Daming". This is not the other, but reality connects it.
Because the grassroots soldiers were too heavily propagandized and defected too quickly, some of the heavy weapons and equipment of the Hai Song Dynasty, such as heavy artillery armored vehicles and the like, had just been transported to the battlefield and had not been disassembled, and with the smell of engine oil for maintenance, they were turned into trophies by the Republican Army.
When the Republican artillery used these 125 mm super heavy guns to open fire on the Imperial warships on the river. Bei Chengxing listened to this familiar muffled sound, and his heart was extremely entangled, what the hell is going on? The one who fought turned into the captain of the enemy's transport.
The Battle of Jiujiang ended in 15 days, the six newly assembled group armies of the imperial army were completely annihilated, and the seven fleets of 3,000 or 4,000 tons, under the blockade of the Ma'anshan Battery, sank three ships and surrendered the flags. Bei Chengxing left China and never set foot on the East Asian continent again.
And Huang Ge Lao was completely overthrown after this war, and then according to the virtue of the Donglin Party people who have always fallen into the well and threw the black pot, Huang Ge Lao has a large number of betrayal of morality, and the family's reputation of bullying and dominating the market in his hometown has been turned over. The folk songs of Nandu also began to homophonize Huang Baijia into Huang Luojia.
Yongcheng naturally dismissed the Huang Baijia, and the muddy Huang Baijia, after being deposed, on the way home, a man dressed in black shouted "Yellow thief, the unjustly killed soldiers of the empire have come to you." He took out his pistol and aimed it, and Huang Baijia's carriage shot indiscriminately. After dropping a bomb. So the old man went.
After this incident, the Donglin Party quickly challenged the Imperial Army, but the Imperial Army officers accused the Donglin Party of being a clumsy trick for geckos to cut off their tails. Kill your own people first, and then pretend to be a bitter lord and wicked person to sue first. What the hell is going on? No one knows, no one admits it, it can only be attributed to the brutal political # struggle, which has become a historical mystery.
Yongcheng finally reaffirmed the leadership of the empire, but the situation in the empire at this time was out of control.
