    When Wu Peifu, the head of the Zhili military, was furious with the head of the Air Force in Nanyuan, the same was true for Fengjun.  It¡¯s just that Zhang Zuolin couldn¡¯t get angry at Zhang Xueliang like he was lecturing his grandson. In his eyes, his ¡®little six sons¡¯ were not wrong. The fault of outsiders was that group of self-righteous but ineffective Xiao Dongyang.  It¡¯s not a shame to say this. Japan¡¯s aviation industry in the mid-1920s, hey, it was very embarrassing!  is zero.  That¡¯s right, nothing.  Just like Japan's automobile industry, which has lagged behind the world's top powers for more than ten years, the development of aircraft is basically the same.  But Japan still has aircraft. The Japanese military came into contact with aircraft relatively early, and the force most familiar with aircraft is the navy.  A large surface ship requires two to six seaplanes to be used as a reconnaissance method.  It can be said that the Japanese Navy has been in contact with aircraft for several years, but reconnaissance aircraft and fighter jets are not the same concept at all, especially the aircraft carrier group that Japan is preparing to invest in construction, and its combat method is in the exploratory stage from scratch. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In order to appease the Navy, which has a strong voice in the cabinet, we separated the naval aviation and army aviation.  The preparation and command of the naval aviation force are in the hands of Yamamoto Isoroku. Even though the Kwantung Army showed off its power in front of Zhang Zuolin, in the eyes of Yamamoto Isoroku, they were just unscrupulous bumpkins.  If the Kwantung Army wanted to support Zhang Zuolin in recruiting pilots from China, it could only find a way through the Army Ministry.  ??The earliest aviation school in Japan was founded last year. It is the Naval Aviation School affiliated with the Navy. The principal is Colonel Yamamoto Isoroku, who should now be Major General Yamamoto.  The Army's aviation school was established later, and the pilots' abilities are even worse than those of the Navy.  It can be seen how poor the Japanese pilots in the army are!  Originally, Zhang Zuolin was confident because the direct pilots were limited by the model of the aircraft and could not compare with Fengjun.  However, the appearance of a large number of Zhejiang-made aircraft on the battlefield made him wonder whether the Zhejiang army was also participating in the war?  "You can't count on the little devils. These people will only bully some of Nanyuan's old aircraft. But if Wang Xueqian's Zhejiang Army joins, it will be difficult for us." Zhang Zuolin muttered and looked at his son.  He appointed Zhang Xueliang as his successor and commander of the Air Force, and it was also part of Zhang Xueliang's resume. He did not want to see his son take the ultimate responsibility because he was affected by the defeat of the Air Force.  If this battle disgraces Zhang Xueliang's reputation and even loses support among the Fengjun, it will be more than worth the loss for the Zhang family.  His father¡¯s intention was very clear, let him make a choice, stay in Fengtian, and then hand over the Air Force to find a ¡®scapegoat¡¯.  Of course, this is based on a premise, that is, the Zhejiang Army's participation in the war.  Zhang Xueliang felt suspicious about the Zhejiang Army's participation in the war. He was someone who had had many contacts with Wang Xueqian.  When I was young, I couldn't understand Wang Xueqian's work style, which was understandable.  After taking up an important position in Fengjun, as he came into contact with more and more people and his ranks became higher and higher, he actually had some insights.  The local forces in the south are not willing to trust the forces in the north. This may be a common imagination in the political circles of the Republic of China.  "Father, I think the possibility of Wang Xueqian joining the Zhili camp is very small. If the Zhejiang army enters the north, it will be logistically blocked by the Zhili camp. It is impossible that Wang Xueqian is not aware of this. Once the retreat is blocked, no matter how good the equipment is, it will not be enough."  It's a piece of meat in Wu Peifu's mouth. " "Xiao Liuzi, you can see that my training over the years has been worthwhile, but we can't take it lightly! Even if there is a 10% chance, we can't take risks."  It can be said that there is no taboo in the conversation. This is different from Wu Peifu who can only get angry with his subordinates. It is much easier for the two parties to communicate: "I train you in the army for future planning, not for the present. Whether the Zhang family can control the country and the world, I don't  I know. But the future of the three eastern provinces must belong to the Zhang family." When he said this, Zhang Zuolin was domineering and majestic.  But in the blink of an eye, his tone weakened: "And Wu Peifu is too cunning and difficult to deal with." Saying this, Zhang Zuolin was completely helpless.  He doesn¡¯t want to praise his enemies, right?  But the problem is that Wu Peifu's ability really makes him speechless. Compared with the commander's ability, he is directly at least one level higher than Feng Jun.  Anyway, when Zhang Zuolin held a high-level military meeting, he felt damn, each one was more eloquent and more reasonable than the other, but he was a little confused.  But the problem is that the good strategies discussed within Fengjun are not easy to use in front of Wu Peifu.  ??This is said sourly. It¡¯s probably not because our army doesn¡¯t work hard, but becauseThe army is too cunning and helpless.  Zhang Zuolin has already begun to back down.  But Zhang Xueliang understood one thing. If the troops were withdrawn at this time, how acute would the conflicts within the Fengjun army be?  "The price paid by the soldiers on the front line is too great. If we withdraw our troops at this time, even the generals may not be convinced." Zhang Xueliang's words are not unreasonable. The generals on the front line are already angry.  Especially Guo Songling, he had already pressed up the Third Army. If Zhang Xueliang hadn't deliberately left some seemingly unmovable troops for Guo Songling before leaving, Guo Songling would have had no troops available.  Coupled with the replenishment of Zhang Xueliang's Guards Division, Guo Songling will face the dilemma of having to retreat to Jinzhou due to heavy casualties.  But at the same time, the Zhili Clan is at the end of its tether, and both sides are competing for their own endurance. A slightly careless decision by the upper management may squander all the energy and energy that Feng Jun has finally cultivated.  Zhang Zuolin also understood this. Of course, he knew better that his son was more inclined to Guo Songling.  Since his son wants to continue fighting, the father is also happy to see the results. Anyway, this battle will not be fought in winter, and it will only take a month or two.  Speaking of which, there were two wars between Zhili and Fengcheng, and the first two were too childish.  Fighting has been called a child's play, which shows how embarrassing the situation in Fengjun is!  Let alone the first battle, the troops on the front line were completely defeated before the troops were even laid out.  Thennothing happened, Zhang Zuolin fell into disgrace.  The coach's escape was not called an escape, but a strategic retreat to lure the enemy deeper. Unfortunately, Wu Peifu did not fall for the trap. Otherwise, Zhang Zuolin would have frozen hundreds of thousands of Zhili troops into popsicles in the three eastern provinces in December.  Anyway, that year, Zhang Zuolin¡¯s life in Fengtian was very difficult, and the shadow in his heart was completely filled with Wu Peifu¡¯s hatred.  Wu Peifu is too strong. It stands to reason that Fengjun should have preempted the attack and launched the attack first.  But what's the result?  It took three days for the front line to collapse and one week for the entire front line to collapse.  In the end, Zhang Zuolin, who was worried, could only talk nonsense. It was the direct line that shamelessly sent out the plane. We Northeasterners are simple and god-respecting people. We had never seen this thing before, so we were frightened and ran away collectively.  If you are a man, just do it with real swords and guns, don't use these crooked ways.  But is this the actual situation?  One hundred thousand troops! ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? How can the war team be fed, and is the Military Law Office just a decoration?  The soldier had never seen an airplane and was scared. But was he more scared than being shot?  If you put these words here, you can see the clues.  Besides, if soldiers have never seen airplanes, haven¡¯t officers seen them?  The junior officers have not seen the plane, so can the senior officers not see it?  This is not a reason, it is just a reluctant excuse.  The actual truth is that the Fengjun front line could not withstand the Zhili elite for three days.  Afterwards, Fengjun established the Air Force, but it was just because of the need to cover up lies.  The situation at that time was that the Japanese did not have air combat aircraft, the British did not sell them anywhere, and the Fengjun army had no aircraft available.  Except for the Japanese Navy, which has no less than 50 seaplanes, it is basically useless on the land battlefield.  In fact, direct aircraft are not very easy to use. The pilot, co-pilot, and old-fashioned aircraft are back to back. The weapon is a Maxim welded to the fuselage of the aircraft. The air combat intensity of this aircraft is so low that it is absolutely disappointing.  Because both sides of the battle have to find their posture in the air. It¡¯s not enough if your own posture is correct, but you also need the opponent¡¯s posture to match Damn, this is more tiring than fighting between goblins!  The second Zhili-Fengtian War was even more outrageous, with the sudden outbreak of the Shandong issue and the coordination after the Washington Conference.  The Republic of China was at the critical juncture of regaining national sovereignty from the Japanese government. Zhang Zuolin's troops were regarded as a lackey of the Japanese government, a pawn, and a second-guessing son who worked for the Japanese government.  The dignified commander-in-chief of the Fengjun army was stuck in the position of a 'traitor' Lao Zhang couldn't understand it. He just wanted to oust Cao Kun, so how could he become a 'traitor'?  The third time, that is, this time, I have to say that it was Fengjun's best performance.  Even if Zhang Zuolin fails to win this time and retreats outside the customs, he will still have face.  At least Fengjun, under his leadership, has been able to win and lose in battles with the main forces of the Zhili clique.  If the Japanese hadn't been pressing hard from behind, he would have wanted to withdraw his troops.  Now that the high-level determination has been made, Zhang Xueliang returned to Jinzhou again to deploy the air force¡¯s counterattack.  He firmly believes that the air force established by himself will not be worse than the direct one. Everyone is a fighter jet of British descent. Fengjun purchased the "Camel" combat power directly from the Japanese. This kind of aircraft had powerful firepower in World War I.  Super fighter. In the eight months at the end of World War I, this aircraft created a brilliant record of shooting down 1,300 German aircraft.  Until now, the Royal Air Force has equipped more than 1,600 aircraft of this type.  ¡°The aircraft, engines, and attack methods developed by Wang Xueqian¡¯s Zhejiang Army are all based on the ¡®Camel Fighter¡¯ prototype.  From the perspective of confidence, Zhang Xueliang is very confident. This is a contest between 'original goods' and 'counterfeit goods'. Even in Zhang Xueliang's mind, the outcome of this war has been decided.  With the execution of the full-line counterattack plan prepared by Guo Songling, more than 30 Fengjun aircraft deployed at Jinzhou Airport took off, targeting the Fuzhou battlefield.  "Mr. Hatoyama, I will definitely surpass you this time." "Haha, there are not many planes in the Republic of China. If you want to shoot down planes and get air combat records, you have to work harder!" Listening to the Japanese pilot's conversation, Feng Jun  The air force officers felt uncomfortable.  During the civil war in the Republic of China, brothers separated their families. Even if they broke the ground and shed blood, it was still a family matter. But what happened if an outsider got involved?  Of course Zhang Xueliang understands these emotions, but he has to rely on these Japanese pilots, because most of the pilots in Fengjun's aviation school have never even touched an airplane a few times. How can you ask these pilots to fight in the air?  On the direct side, although the Zhejiang Army had no intention of participating in the war, Wang Xueqian sent an air force advisory group insidiously.  All of a sudden, Zhili's air combat tactics were improved by two eras. If time had not been too tight and cooperation was not tacit, Zhili pilots even believed that they would have been able to defeat Fengjun's air force if the numbers were equal.  Nanyuan Airport is also already in full swing.  "Install auxiliary fuel tanks, and all aircraft will abandon aerial bombs!" "Mechanical inspection before takeoff!" "Instrument inspection!" "Check the machine gun ammunition supply device!"  Each of these brief orders made the atmosphere at the airport tense.
