, "Yinglu boils the signal flare rising! It's empty, it's the Xinge coming from the aviation command tower." The foot is very clear: take off.

“Tututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututu

The propellers of the first fighter immediately rotated, then the second, followed by the third, the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth. Not only the fighter, but the twin and four bombers also began to rotate the propellers. The entire airport was filled with deafening roars of motivation, and other than that, no other sound could be heard.

Soon, the first fighter began to slide on the airport runway and rose into the sky in a short time. Then, more fighters and bombers took off. Except for a very small number of planes that were ultimately unable to withdraw due to motive failure, the more than 200 aircraft of various types at the Jinzhou Field Airport rose into the sky and flew east without hesitation.

These aircraft will cross the Liaodong Bay and fly hundreds of miles. They will flatten the strategic area on the west side of the Liaodong Peninsula to launch an air attack. Just like the attack on Lushun a few days ago, this air strike will inevitably be powerful and will inevitably shock the enemy.

Standing on the aviation command tower and looking at the planes away, the commander of the Air Force Task Force Jiang Dengxuan was also quite moved.

"This is the war in the industrial age, three-dimensional war

Jiang Dengxuan couldn't help but recall the years he was studying aviation in Germany. He was not very optimistic about the future of the Air Force. After all, this kind of aircraft made of wood and canvas is difficult to give people confidence and hard to imagine. These thin aircraft can sink warships and destroy fortresses, but with the development and progress of technology, Jiang Dengxuan finally saw the moment of the rise of the Air Force, and what made him even more proud was that this moment was created by him by himself. Due to the successful air strike on Lushun, Jiang Dengxuan's name is now well known. This is certainly a means for the Central Committee to deliberately increase the confidence of the people, but it must be admitted that Jiang Dengxuan, as the commander of the Air Force Task Force, has indeed completed the task assigned to him by the Central Committee very well.

This mission is not only to strike the Japanese naval fleet in Lushun, but also to cultivate an independent air force for the center and China's armed forces. It is hard to say that after the end of this war, in addition to the army and navy, the Chinese lieutenant general had another new service: the Independent Air Force.

By then, the President will no longer be the "Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy", and will become the "Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Forces" and Jiang Dengxuan may be likely to be the first Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force.

The status and glory of today are inseparable from the president's valuation and even more so from Zhang Xiaozhun's recommendation. Jiang Dengxuan is very clear about this. He is determined to play this role well, and he cannot disappoint the president, nor can Zhang Xiaozhun come to Taiwan. You must know that when he initially decided to be elected by the Air Force Task Force Department, Meng Fei had a great hope of winning. In the end, it was just because his personality was too "frivolous. He missed the commander's position, and Jiang Dengxuan was able to take office and become the commander of the Air Force Task Force.

Jiang Dengxuan understood why the first person in the heart of the center was not him, because in the past, he got closer to the Beiyang veteran Duan Qirui. This was not his wholehearted resignation, but purely to repay his kindness. He graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned School and returned to China. If Duan Qirui had not promoted him, he would have been squeezed aside like Cai Li and Jiang Fangzhen. People should be grateful, but Jiang Dengxuan did not want people to say that he was ungrateful.

The situation is different now. Just the day before yesterday, Duan Qirui had officially submitted his resignation to the center and resigned from the position of Chief of the Army, and Cai E has taken over.

Duan Qirui's stepping down actually announced the complete end of the Beiyang forces. From then on, the term "Beiyang." will officially withdraw from people's vision.

Duan Qirui left. He took the train south on the same day as he stepped down. It is said that he was going to live in seclusion in Tianjin. Jiang Dengxuan could not send him off, so he could only shoot a telegram, comfort him kindly, and gave "Cheng Yi." There was not much money, but he just expressed his feelings.

Yesterday morning, Li Fanhe, director of the Presidential Office's attendant office, sent a telegram to Jiang Dengxuan, who admired Jiang Dengxuan's "benevolence and righteous behavior". But at the same time, he also reminded Jiang Dengxuan that his current main task is to command the air force's operations. The telegram content is not much, just a few words, but the meaning revealed is very clear. Who is Li Xinghe? He is the right-hand man around the president, and his words can actually be regarded as the president's words. The president is reminding Jiang Dengxuan. He appreciates Jiang Dengxuan's loyalty, but at the same time, he does not want Jiang Dengxuan to continue to maintain close contact with Duan Qirui.

Jiang Dengxuan understood the president's meaning. So he immediately replied with a telegram to express his feelings. He also knew very well that whether he could serve as the commander-in-chief of the Independent Air Force depends on the president's words.

But just saying a few loyal words is not enough. Jiang Dengxuan also understands that the president is "only talented." If he wants to truly gain the president's trust, he must let the president see his talents.

During this air strike, Jiang Dengxuan carefully checked the entire combat plan. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, Jiang Dengxuan had not closed his eyes all night. It was not until all the attacking troops took off that he breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the railings, and watched the planes go away.

"National war, national war! Let the Air Force accept the baptism of national war! Let the Air Force usher in glory under the banner of re-fighting

Looking at the densely packed small black dots in the sky, Jiang Dengxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time when the Air Force Task Force Commander Jiang Dengxuan stood on the aviation command tower and looked up at the sky, on the other side of the Liaodong Bay, another senior officer from the National Defense Force was also looking up at the sky.

He is Wu Luzhen, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Battle. Now, while looking up at the sky, he looked at the watch from time to time. The hour hand on the watch had pointed at the eight o'clock position.

"If everything goes well, the Air Force Assault Force will arrive at Gaiping at around nine o'clock

This sentence was said by Jiang Fangzhen, who stood beside Wu Luzhen. As an important staff officer to assist Wu Luzhen, Jiang Fangzhen knew very well about the thoughts of the commander-in-chief of the front enemy. A long time ago, Wu Luzhen had already planned the plan to regain the land of the Northeast, and the central government also gave full support to his plan. The reason why the Liaodong battle was so smooth was that in addition to the advanced weapons of the Chinese team and the high morale, it was inseparable from Wu Luzhen's hard work in the past few years. He disguised the reconnaissance, scraped the troops, raised combat materials, built combat readiness warehouses, and built strategic highways. These tasks were carried out under the auspices of Wu Luzhen, the "Border Affairs Office of the Three East Provinces". Before the war, all this work had been completed. It was precisely because of this that the central government finally decided to start a war against Japan immediately.

One of the reasons why the Central Committee appointed Wu Luzhen as the commander-in-chief of the front-line enemy on the Liaodong battlefield was to commend his great contribution to the cause of national defense. If he won this battle smoothly, then in the future, Wu Luzhen's name will definitely be well-known. As a soldier, he can win glory and glory on the battlefield. What an enviable thing is.

Jiang Fangzhen is now envious of the senior of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. Although he also hopes to be the commander-in-chief of the front enemy, he also understands that the center has its own perspective to consider the problem. Letting Wu Luzhen be the commander-in-chief of the front enemy is not abrupt at all. In fact, before the appointment was officially launched, many people had already guessed that Wu Luzhen would command troops to fight on the front line. The president asked him to be the "Border Affairs Office of the Three East Provinces" for this war.

Seeing that Jiang Fangzhen had seen through his thoughts, Wu Luzhen smiled faintly, put the watch back into his military pocket, then took a binoculars from his adjutant and looked south.

There is the Gaiping Front line, which is only six kilometers away.

This is Xihe Fort, where the front-line command is located. More than ten kilometers north of Xihe Fort is Boro Fort, which is now the logistics base of the front-line troops. A large amount of ammunition is piled up there, and relying on the South Manchuria Railway, it can be easily transported to the front-line positions.

Xihebao is not only a front-line command center, but also an artillery attack position. This is not a field artillery, but a railway artillery. In order to ensure the smooth attack of the artillery, the engineer troops have used two days to build five railway branches on the narrow plain south of Xihebao. Relying on these five railway branches that are very close to each other, fifteen train guns can go forward several kilometers away. Then use heavy artillery to carry out suppressive shooting of the enemy army.

These fifteen train cannons are the biggest ace in Wu Luzhen's hands. In front of these naval heavy artillery, any fortification and fortress are vulnerable. If necessary, train cannons can even be driven to the coast and engage in artillery battles with the Japanese fleet. The destructive power of train cannons is much stronger than that of the air force. In today's battle, train cannons will fire first, opening the battle.

"I think the time is almost over, let's go here."

Wu Luzhen glanced at Jiang Fangzhen and nodded when he saw the other party. So he led his adjutant to the railway line and boarded a light rail car. Under the escort of the guard company, he headed towards the train artillery position.

We soon arrived at the front line. At this time, all the train guns had entered the firing position. The muzzle had also been raised high. In the same direction, the cable connecting the gun position had been laid. As long as a signal passed, fifteen train guns would roar at the same time.

When the artillery commander Shen Shangjian saw the commander-in-chief of the front enemy, he rushed over and stood attentively saluted.

"Report to the commander-in-chief! Our headquarters is ready to shoot! You can open fire at enemy positions at any time."

"Call all artillery soldiers, and the commander-in-chief had something to say to Jiang Fangzhen.

"Everyone.Collection."

Shen Shangyan's order was immediately conveyed, and the whistle sounded. Most of the officers and soldiers in the artillery position immediately gathered in front of the track car, while Wu Luzhen stood on the roof of the track car and began to snatch the officers and soldiers.

"Look at the south side, there is Gaiping! That is China's territory, we want to take it back from the Japanese invaders! This is a national war, a great national war! We want to win the honor of soldiers in the national war! We want the Japanese invaders to see the strength and strength of the Chinese people! And you, your artillery, will fire the first shot in today's battle! Where is the honor of the country? The honor of the country is in the sound of your cannons! Where is the dignity of the country? The dignity of the country is also in the sound of your cannons."

Speaking of this, Wu Luzhen stopped, glanced at the officers and soldiers, and then asked loudly.

"Now, as the commander-in-chief of the front enemy, I ask you: What is the responsibility of artillery?"

"Invincible!"

The officers and soldiers shouted in unison, and Chen Shangliang, who was standing on the other side, smiled proudly. This slogan was known to him and has now become the motto of all artillery units of the National Defense Forces.

"Are you okay?"

"We are artillery."

"What is the abandonment of the artillery?"

"Everyone is strong and can't stand it!"

Half an hour later, amid the slogans of the artillery, the first round of artillery fire began.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Poison!"

With the sound of cannons, the earth was storming. Amid the sound of cannons, the artillery soldiers received the honor they hoped to receive.

Amid the sound of the cannon, the Gai Ping's position fell into chaos, and the raised black smoke and the raised soil seemed to be roaring. Amid the roar, the morale of the enemy and us increased and the position was completely shrouded in the smoke.
Chapter completed!
