    In the eyes of foreigners who don't know why, Wu Peifu is invincible, and the Zhili's military strength is capable of crushing any opponent.  Even more than two years ago, many media generally believed that it was only a matter of time before Wu Peifu's army unified the Republic of China.  At that time, Wu Peifu was almost invincible. He used a devastating battle to declare his identity as the strongest army of the Republic of China. It was also because of this battle that his name was pushed to the world stage.  Even the New York Times featured it on its cover.  And he completely exposed the strength of Fengjun, an emerging military force, to the world. He can only be described as a scumbag!  Two years have passed, and Wu Peifu is still an insurmountable mountain.  Although in the eyes of outsiders, Wu Peifu's success is still a matter of time, the direct line is still extremely powerful.  But only the authorities understand that there is an undercurrent of crisis under such power.  In the Zhili camp, there is Feng Yuxiang, the number one white-eyed wolf in the political arena of the Republic of China, who is known as the "Rebellious General"; there is also Yan Laoxi, the number one loser in the Republic of China, who claims to dance on eggs; there is also someone who has lowered the average IQ level in the political arena of the Republic of China.  'Idiot Cao'; of course, Wu Peifu, who holds the title of the strongest commander in the Republic of China, is also in this camp.  As the mainstay, Wu Peifu feels tired, what else can it mean?  Wu Peifu rarely uses surprise in his military tactics, and always defeats the opponent head-on in an upright manner.  On the one hand, the direct line in the past two years was at the peak of its strength and had this confidence.  On the other hand, it also explains the character of Wu Peifu.  Bi likes to use intrigues and tricks, and at the same time he doesn't like to use tricks.  But when he pinned his hopes on a new weapon, it meant that the commander's mood had changed.  The belief in invincibility has been loosened.  "Planes have become the only shortcut in Wu Peifu's mind.  By collecting all the aircraft within the direct line, plus purchasing aircraft from the Zhejiang Army, Wu Peifu wants to play a big game.  Of course, before closing in, he paid more attention to the large quantities of aircraft purchased from the Zhejiang Army.  But while searching for planes belonging to local forces directly connected to the area, Wu Peifu made an unexpected discovery.  Yan Laoxi is definitely the Republican version of Shanxi's local rich man and coal boss.  This guy actually quietly built the Taiyuan Arsenal to produce weapons and ammunition; he also established the Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant; the Taiyuan Airport The investigators sent there discovered that Yan Xishan actually owned 24 new fighter jets produced in Zhejiang.  This discovery made Wu Peifu completely change his view of Yan Xishan.  Originally, he really thought that Yan Xishan's life was not easy and he didn't have much character, so he just looked down upon him.  But he didn't expect that his family's wealth would be so rich, and Wu Peifu even wanted to grab a share of the Jinsui Army.  What¡¯s even more irritating is that Yan Xishan still dares to go around crying about poverty?  Yes, this is Yan Xishan's habit. When he goes out, he says: "We are poor in Shanxi! Our children don't even have pants to wear." In the Wutai Mountain Villa, Yan Xishan, who felt as if his flesh was being cut, pulled his fellow countryman Yang Aiyuan and cried: "Lu Bai  "It's revealed!" Yang Aiyuan was helpless. He didn't know that Wu Peifu was already worried about the aircraft. If they couldn't dominate the air, it would be difficult for both sides to hide the real killer move in the Great Wall Battle.  When the troops of five independent brigades are on the move, they will certainly not be able to avoid aerial reconnaissance.  The planes from Shanxi were all mobilized to Yanjing with an official document from Wu Peifu. Even if Yan Xishan wanted to resist, he had to think about the consequences.  Today's Jinsui Army has seven divisions, but each division has only six to seven thousand troops, which is simply unable to fight against the entire behemoth of the Zhili Clan.  Although it seems that Wu Peifu does not have sufficient troops to deal with Yan Xishan, there are ways to deal with him.  Although there is a possibility of drinking poison to quench thirst, it is still better than Yan Xishan becoming a serious trouble.  For example, send Feng Yuxiang to Shanxi.  Feng Yuxiang, who has strong soldiers and horses, doesn't his eyes turn green when he sees the prosperity of Taiyuan?  Facing Yan Xishan, who was extremely heartbroken, Yang Aiyuan, who was good at military training, felt helpless.  God knows, Marshal Wu was so idle that he sent someone to investigate the air force strength of the Jinsui Army.  The wealth that was finally accumulated was suddenly made easier for outsiders.  According to Yan Xishan's character, he is not much different from his dead father.  He wanted to persuade him, but could Yan Xishan's heartache be relieved with just a few words?  Unless you give him an advantage, a huge advantage.  At that time, there is no need to persuade Yan Xishan, and Yan Xishan's heartache will naturally be cured: "Brother Baichuan, will our continued expansion of the army alarm Wu Peifu?" "No, we must train our troops, and we must do it quickly. Within two years, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will be at least  We need to expand to 17 divisions. Brother Xingru, time waits for no one!" Yan Xishan looked naive with excitement. The stupidity on his face was fake. This is what tenants do when they meet landlords. They look stupid, but they are actually showing off.  shrewd.  The confusion on Cao Kun's face is completely different. That person is really stupid: "The Jinsui Army has no strength, and it can be bullied by just one person. Now the Taiyuan Arsenal can fully meet our needs for army expansion. We don't want to expand the army at this time."  , with ?It depends on people's faces.  " A moment ago, he still looked like a sad old farmer whose crops had been destroyed. His face showed the fear that the sky was falling. But in the blink of an eye, Yan Xishan seemed to be a different person. He became shrewd and cunning: "  Brother Xingru, we have few soldiers in Shanxi and cannot fight, so we can only be bullied But if someone has a gun, then it will not be someone who bullies us, but us who will come to ask for interest.  " Having said this, Yan Xishan licked his lips, feeling helpless as he endured the humiliation and burden. He felt like a man carrying a stone tablet, bearing the humiliation and burden, but carrying other people's merit tablets and singing praises. When he was a military governor, he was like Wu Dalang.  Even a man can't stand the desolation! How could Yan Xishan feel comfortable with this pressure in his chest? Then, his tone changed: "But Shanxi can't continue like this, otherwise how can we protect the country and the people?  " Yang Aiyuan and Yan Xishan have been friends for many years. Do you know what this person is thinking? " A thousand or ten thousand more means insufficient strength. " If the strength is enough for this person, Yan Laoxi will be more joyful than anyone else.  What he fears most right now is not that Wu Peifu will take care of him, but that Feng Yuxiang will take care of him.  Long-term development funds. With iron and coal, Shanxi will not have to worry about developing military industries. In addition, Yan Xishan is ready to expand his strength, but he is really not very courageous. During Yuan Shikai's time, he admitted his mistakes and wanted to be an obedient citizen; during Duan Qirui's time,  , Ma Chang raised troops, and he became a supporter of the Anhui faction; now that Cao Kun was in power, he also supported it with both hands. The only time he did anything extraordinary was to oppose Yuan Shikai and proclaim himself emperor. However, at that time, Yuan Shikai was rejected by everyone.  , I don¡¯t care if there is one more Yan Xishan or one less Yan Xishan. It can be said that this guy¡¯s true identity is a veteran of the "Kuomintang", and this guy is actually a revolutionary party The plane is gone, and we still have to bear the burden.  Part of the direct arms expenditure made Yan Xishan heartbroken and unable to breathe. Fortunately, Wu Peifu had no intention of giving any more blood to Shanxi and Yan Laoxi. Everyone knew that he was just a loser, as long as he was stronger.  Yan Xishanqiang, an honest man in Tieding, Shanxi, seized more than 20 aircraft from Shanxi, plus aircraft transferred from Hubei, Henan and other places, and finally added more than 30 aircraft that Bai Jianwu exchanged from Shanghai.  , the Zhili family suddenly had more than 70 combat aircraft. After a closer look, they were all from Zhejiang. It was very troublesome to purchase aircraft in the Republic of China. One reason was that they were not knowledgeable and could easily be deceived. The other reason was that they were easily deceived by Britain and France.  There was no intention to open the arms market to the Republic of China, especially the relatively high-end arms market. Aircraft, heavy artillery and other weapons were among them. Unexpectedly, a Jinhua aircraft manufacturing factory pioneered the arms industry of the Republic of China. Technically, it was equivalent to British fighter jets at the same time.  , but in terms of aircraft weight, it is lighter than the British aircraft. It can be regarded as better than the British aircraft, but the difference is not big. Wu Peifu, who owns a large number of aircraft, is full of confidence and is ready to take advantage of this stupid guy like Guo Songling.  A lesson, what is called ginger or old and spicy? But things in the Republic of China are so strange. Confidential documents signed by the president can be circulated. What other information can be kept secret? When Wu Peifu was collecting planes, Zhang Zuolin got it.  Zhang Xueliang, the commander-in-chief of the Fengjun Space Force, pointed out that aircraft are not very helpful on the battlefield. But in the face of troops without anti-aircraft weapons, the panic caused by aircraft is still very life-threatening.  He waved his hand and said: "We can't let Wu Peifu be proud of his momentum!  Send all the planes out. If Wu Peifu wants to play, he will play with a big one.  "This is definitely enough for a man. But Zhang Xueliang was in trouble. Because Fengjun was suspected of Japanese pilots participating in the war, the Air Force was too timid to dispatch. In addition, the fuel reserves were not too much, so they gave up the Air Force's harassment operations. Zhang Zuolin  The request will obviously bring about great changes to the Air Force. Zhang Xueliang is embarrassed: "Father, the outside world has a lot of doubts about the pilots of our army. If all the air force is invested, it will cause public opinion to tilt to the side of the direct line and cause great harm to us."  pressure.  Zhang Zuolin glared and said: "I'm afraid of a ball. If the battle is won, public opinion will be nothing."  If we lose the battle, you and I may not be able to save our heads, so why do we care?  ¡± As the tiger father who conquered the country, Zhang Zuolin showed decisiveness that Zhang Xueliang could never learn in his life. This is not because Zhang Xueliang is not smart enough, but because he lacks that kind of temperament. Well, it doesn¡¯t matter if you say it. Zhang Zuolin is barefoot.  , Zhang Xueliang is a noble son. Zhang Zuolin dared to break the jar because he had nothing and went through the process of starting from nothing. But Zhang Xueliang was born.After that, when everything is available, how can one dare to show off like a sloppy charlatan who is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes?  How can one learn these two things?  "In history, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng launched the Xi'an Incident. What was the situation like at that time?  The three northeastern provinces were occupied by the Japanese, and the hometown of the Northeastern Army was gone.  North China also let the veteran take it back, and his status as commander-in-chief of the five-province coalition forces was nothing more than a joke.  In a poor place like the northwest, it is impossible to support 200,000 Northeastern troops. He can't even pay military salaries.  At this time, Zhang Xueliang became barefoot and gained courage.  Unfortunately, it's too late Following Zhang Xueliang's order, Jinzhou Airport became noisy again after silencing it for a period of time.  Nearly forty aircraft of all sizes were assembled in Fengjun, and a large amount of military supplies also departed from Fengtian and arrived in Jinzhou.  However, in terms of momentum, Fengjun can no longer compare with the direct Nanyuan Airport. At least Fengjun¡¯s aircraft hangar is still sufficient.  However, Nanyuan Airport, which has nearly 70 aircraft, does not even have enough hangars, so they can only park a large number of them on the airport runway.  When the war was about to break out, Nanyuan Airport finally acted boldly. For the first time, double-digit aircraft took off from the airport at once, and the first air strike since the beginning of the war began.  After receiving the news, Fengjun also took off a plane to meet the enemy.  The two sides started an air battle over Fuzhou.  But for the first time in such close contact, both parties didn¡¯t feel very good.  In this era, let alone the Republic of China, even the Western powers were in the most primitive stage of air combat.  There is no prevention and control radar and no ground command center. After the planes fly into the sky, they can only use small radios to communicate within the fleet at close range.  And the sky is so vast and the plane is so small that both parties may miss each other inadvertently. When they discover each other's appearance, they are surprised for a moment and then realize that they are out of fuel.  In the first air battle of the Zhifeng War, the process of comparing the size of the enemy in the air was very frustrating.  In terms of numbers, the Zhili Air Force was completely defeated. Nanyuan Airport almost lost a squadron of aircraft at the beginning of the war because of their petty ambitions.  Of course, the whole army may not necessarily be wiped out, and some can always escape, but if it fails, it will be a huge blow to morale.  After Wu Peifu learned the news, he did not need to report it to his staff. He learned about the air battle, and the plane hovered above his headquarters.  He is a cultural person and can understand numbers
