    Only the state officials were allowed to set fires, but the people were not allowed to light lamps.  Facing the dirty ambush by the Fengjun Air Force, Wu Peifu himself was shaking with anger and angrily scolding Zhang Bandit for not obeying the rules.  In addition to ridiculing Zhang Zuolin for not being able to fight openly and openly with the Zhili army, it was a pity that he could not disgust Zhang Zuolin in front of the opponent, because this commander who had risen to Wu Peifu's biggest opponent was no longer in front of Wu Peifu.  Not even the commanders at the front line of the Great Wall were involved.  Zhang Zuolin is not Wu Peifu. This person may be big-hearted and courageous enough.  However, when commanding an army to fight, Zhang Zuolin felt guilty and did not dare to interrupt, especially when the opponent he faced was Wu Peifu.  The Zhili aircraft began to escape, and after being pursued by the Fengjun Air Force, they put the cart before the horse.  Wu Peifu hid in the darkness of the observation corner of the headquarters, his eyes shining with excitement.  Although the war situation is very unfavorable to the Zhili Clique, at least in terms of losses, it is true. Fengjun's ambush caused the loss of the Zhili Clique's aircraft, and Fengjun's methods have been demonstrated on the Zhili Clique's aircraft fleet.  But the direct methods did not end there.  On the contrary, Bai Jianwu was standing behind him, his hands and feet were cold, and the corners of his mouth were twitching.  In the previous air battle, more than ten aircraft were scrapped. Such losses made the general counselor who grew up with an ordinary family feel heartbroken. This is an ocean worth millions!  If you say no, there will be no more.  It is said that when a cannon is fired, gold is worth ten thousand taels, but compared to the air combat of the Air Force, there is simply no comparison.  An airplane costs RMB 40,000 to RMB 50,000, plus the bottomless pit of pilot training, other accessories and ground supporting facilities. If a direct plane falls, it will be a loss of at least RMB 100,000.  The loss of more than a dozen aircraft was at least more than one million yuan.  Moreover, there are not many available pilots on hand. Once the consumption is too high, the air battle will not be sustainable.  Where is the war?  "It's like pouring money into the sea. I feel so sad."  Wu Peifu can show an indifferent and almost inhumane attitude towards the losses in air combat. This is a habit that a general has developed on the battlefield. A general's achievements are worth thousands of bones, and even human lives are just a small thing in his heart.  It's just different numbers, what else does he care about?  But Bai Jianwu became worried. Ever since Wu Peifu told him when he was in Luoyang half a year ago that he should prepare to form a cabinet after the war, this guy's heart has been burning and burning.  Dreams are all about the pomp and circumstance after becoming prime minister.  But he also knows the principle of seeking his own government in his position. As a senior talent in the Department of Political Science, he understands that the strength of a government comes from the efficiency of functional departments.  But this dilapidated ship of Zhili is short of nothing but money.  This is a common problem of the Republic of China government. There is always not enough money.  But Bai Jianwu's heart was as clear as a mirror. The post-war promised by Wu Peifu meant after the armistice.  But an armistice does not mean there will be no more fighting.  Even if Zhang Zuolin is eliminated once and for all, this man will still have to fight south.  There was no room for relaxation.  Compared with Zhang Zuolin's difficulty, the main reason is that the military strength of both sides is only half compared with the ground troops, and they have to choose other ways on the ground to increase the weight of victory in the war.  But fighting south is another matter entirely.  The military strength of the South, especially the number of armies, is far behind that of the North.  However, since the rise of Wang Xueqian's Zhejiang team, the crowd tactic seems to have become less popular.  To fight against the Zhejiang Army, it is not enough to rely solely on the army. It also needs the escort of the navy and the support of the air force.  Especially the Air Force. The Zhejiang Army¡¯s Air Force is not like Fengjun.  The loss of only a dozen planes made Bai Jianwu¡¯s heart tremble with distress.  But if there are hundreds or thousands of losses, who can afford such huge military expenditures?  Relying on salt tax?  I am afraid that by then, the people in the north will not be able to afford salt, nor will they be able to prepare such a huge military expenditure.  Perhaps Wu Peifu¡¯s intention in giving Jiangsu to Wang Xueqian was to draw the Zhejiang army to the north of the Yangtze River to deploy defenses, get rid of the Zhili navy, which was at an absolute disadvantage, and avoid the extremely risky situation of crossing the river.  By placing the decisive battle between the two sides north of the Huaihe River, the advantage of fighting on the plains is mobility. The Zhili, which has a large number of cavalry, is likely to take advantage at the beginning of the war.  Once it moves directly south, it will use lightning speed to eat up part of the main force of the Zhejiang Army.  This idea is still in the planning stage. For Zhili, Jiangsu is almost the same in the hands of Wang Xueqian and Lu Yongxiang, because they are both hostile forces.  "Wang Xueqian, despite his private alliance with Fengjun, actually had no intention of favoring Fengjun in the war situation.  On the contrary, as a close general of the Anhui Clique, Lu Yongxiang is definitely likely to switch sides when the Zhili Clique faces setbacks or when the battle situation reaches a critical point.    While Wu Peifu was pondering the focus of future operations, he was observing the battle situation of the Zhili Air Force.  "Twelve, twelve planes have been shot down!" Bai Jianwu's depressed expression was as if his own farmland had been occupied by bullies, as if a gangster had come to his wife's house before he had even passed the door, his throat was stuck, and he was as nervous as if he was on the line between life and death.  .  But this was nothing to Wu Peifu's eyesight: "Didn't Fengjun have a few planes shot down?" Bai Jianwu was not as steady as Wu Peifu, nor did he have such a big heart. He muttered: "In the blink of an eye,  "Looking at people's hearts trembling with fear, if the sky were to fight like this, President Cao would go bankrupt, let alone the finance minister!"  The outcome cannot be predicted in a month, and there is not even a decent-scale battle. Both sides are looking for each other's flaws, but once the test is over, more than 60% of the ammunition may be consumed in three to five days." Wu Peifu.  Like an elder holding up his back, he gave the General Counsel a little nudge. Yes, it was a little nudge.  He needs Bai Jianwu entirely because this man has communication skills that exceed his.  Soldiers are straightforward and don't like roundabout plans, but staff like Bai Jianwu are full of bad ideas and can't do anything upright.  He likes Bai Jianwu, so isn't it a win-win situation?  "The battle in front of us is completely in the rhythm of a decisive battle. No matter how high the consumption is, it is not too much. As long as the battlefield finally determines the winner and loser, and all the direct air force is wiped out, one for one, I can accept it." Wu Peifu said  'One for one' is like the 'pair of rooks' in chess, but on the battlefield, it is simply extremely tragic.  It is conceivable that as long as the Zhili Air Force exhausts all Fengjun's air power, with its numerical advantage, the Zhili Air Force will eventually be able to land more than 20 aircraft in its hands. If the Zhili Air Force orders the last batch of aircraft after delivery,  , relying on the air force's absolute air supremacy, it can launch a counterattack against Fengjun's front line, and even use air strikes to destroy communication lines and pursue and intercept Fengjun.  Complete a beautiful battle of annihilation.  "Why are you panickinghey" As Wu Peifu spoke, he discovered that the planes fighting on both sides seemed to have left the airspace above their heads and were fighting towards the area where the line of sight was blocked.  Bai Jianwu also saw this scene. He had another task on the front line, which was to communicate the cooperation between Wu Peifu and the Air Force.  After Fengjun¡¯s first batch of aircraft operations, I am afraid that such a large-scale and intense air attack will not be sustainable in the short term.  But for Zhili, they are fully capable of turning the second-tier air strike into an air-to-ground attack.  "Marshal Wu, there is a call from the airport, asking for instructions on whether to carry out the second wave of air strikes!" After Bai Jianwu got the message, he handed it directly to Wu Peifu. For air force operations, the controller of the Republic of China, who was touted by the Western media, was the only one with hope.  The military commander who unified the Republic of China through force did not know much about air force operations.  "Commander, the airport is waiting for the second batch of combat aircraft to take off, but they need to understand the actual situation on the battlefield." "What do you mean?" Wu Peifu felt a little unnatural when facing an area that he was not good at.  "It means mainly carrying fuel or mainly carrying bombs!" "What do you think?"  Bai Jianwu looked at Wu Peifu in surprise, his mouth wide open. If there was any saliva left, he would be standing at the entrance of the village, right?  The second idiot smiled silly at the older girl in the village.  He thought in his heart: "How should I see it? How else can I see it? I don't understand at all!" But if he dares to speak to his boss like this, there is no other explanation at all except that he is impatient.  Bai Jianwu had no choice but to call in a professional: "Major Zheng from the Air Force is the liaison officer directly in contact with the airport. If the Marshal doesn't mind, please ask him." Marshal Wu really has nothing to mind.  He listened to Bai Jianwu's suggestion obediently and nodded in agreement.  "Major Zheng, what do you think of this telegram?" "General Counselor, I have no opinion." Wu Peifu frowned slightly. If an army staff officer or a staff officer in his headquarters dared to talk to him like this,  The whip has already been whipped up!  You've gone against the grain and returned it?  But they are air force commanders who came with the Zhejiang Army on the plane. They are professionals, so it is really hard to get angry. Fortunately, Major Zheng is not the kind of liaison officer who only finds trouble. Instead, he explains two different strategies on the battlefield.  Purpose: "With a large bomb load, for us, it means that the Air Force has gained air supremacy and will launch an air strike against the Fengjun Jinzhou Military Airport under the protection of a small number of fighter jets.??, mainly 50-pound bombs. One aircraft can carry 4 bombs at a time, and can complete a round of air strikes with a moderate attack frequency.  " "If it is mainly fuel-carrying, it means that air power needs to be continuously increased.  The task of air strikes will be completely handed over to the third batch of combat aircraft.  That is, the surviving aircraft executed after this air battle.  "After all, he is not a direct officer, and he is not afraid of offending others when he speaks: "The current situation is that we do not know the results of the air battle, and in order to continue to put pressure on Fengjun, the airport cannot wait indefinitely for the results of the battlefield.  "Wu Peifu really couldn't guess how the air battle would end. He could only pretend to be generous and said: "Which one do you think is more likely?  "    "The first.  "    "reason?  " "The opportunity to seize opportunities in air combat is more obvious than in other battlefields, and the ability to end the opponent's resistance is the most crucial step. Even if the chance is slim, you must try.  At the beginning, the Yangtze River Estuary was belligerent. If the King had not decisively ordered the air force to attract the firepower of the British fleet at all costs, as long as the British could breathe a sigh of relief, the outcome would have been very difficult to predict.  "" There was a hint of surprise in the corner of his mouth. Wu Peifu was slightly surprised and said: "You, Marshal Wang, have had similar experiences?"  " "Of course who has a deeper understanding of the air combat in the Republic of China than our King Governor!  " At least this is how Wu Peifu understood the Zhejiang Army's showoff in front of him. He was really unwilling to listen. He waved his hand and said that he would issue the order according to the predetermined plan. Bai Jianwu was worried. He just opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but  Seeing Wu Peifu's impatient look, he also swallowed the doubts in his heart. Soon the telegram was sent, and the second wave of attacks was launched according to the predetermined plan. Time passed by, compared to Wu Peifu's forced composure.  Zhang Xueliang of the Fengjun Command was waiting in agony for the outcome of the battle. Like Wu Peifu, he also lost the opportunity to observe the air battle at close range. Moreover, Fengjun did not have the ability to contact the aircraft in the sky.  This is mainly because the high-power radio is too bulky to be installed on a fighter jet. Five minutes. Fifteen minutes Just when Zhang Xueliang began to relax, Feng was pursuing.  The military aircraft appeared in his field of vision without warning, and at this moment, the panic on his face was unreservedly displayed in front of his subordinates, because there were actually fewer Fengjun aircraft in his sight than when he was pursuing them.  Most of the time, if Jinzhou Airport was not closer to the battlefield than the direct Nanyuan Airport, he had even given an order for the Fengjun Air Force to abscond after returning. Fengjun, who had lost most of it, would definitely not be able to support the next high-intensity air battle.  . And Fengjun, who lacks supplements, cannot bear the subsequent losses "Immediately send a report to Jinzhou Airport and order the airport to prepare ground preparations immediately and wait for the plane to land Also, once it is discovered that something is wrong, immediately transfer all personnel in the airport  The aircraft" Zhang Xueliang, who was facing a formidable enemy, gave Guo Songling a very bad feeling. It seemed that the outcome of the air battle would make the future of ground operations uncertain. "Han Qing, what are you doing?  " Zhang Xueliang smiled bitterly and said: "The situation exceeded our expectations. The failure of the air battle is likely to directly lead to disadvantages in the ground battle.  Teacher, I'm afraid we have to be ready to retreat this time.  " Guo Songling, who felt that he still had half of his capital, could not understand that before the entire army was wiped out, the air force was already showing signs of collapse. What kind of war was this?
