Chapter 45 Beiyuan's reaction
The Luanzhou mutiny not only caused Li Zhe to surprise. In the north, the small Beijing government was also shocked at this time. No one expected that such a thing would happen in a place close to him. The entire system of Yuan Shikai was at this time focusing on how to fight the south, and thus losing attention to the place in front of him.
Fortunately, Beijing was crowded with heavy troops at this time, so there was no need to worry about safety. Old Yuan immediately ordered the Sixth Town to send troops to eliminate the rebellion. In this area, Luanzhou! Old Yuan's government did not expect that Li Zhe's hand would dare to reach such a distance!
It can be seen from this that in the eyes of the Beiyang warlords, the most important thing is force.
Next, something depressing happened...
The Nanjing government issued a telegram across the country, claiming that the Luanzhou mutiny was participated by the revolutionary soldiers under the leadership of the Baxing Party, revolutionary and just, and the Baxing Party was responsible for this incident. Regardless of any country or organization, the attack on the mutiny soldiers in the 20th town of Luanzhou was regarded as an attack on the Nanjing revolutionary government. Hundreds of millions of people from the entire Yangtze River Basin will fight him to the end!
Seeing this power-up, Old Yuan's internal organs were almost blown up by Li Zhe: "It's outrageous? Li Zhe, this kid, dares to extend his hand so far. This group of people dare to participate in Luanzhou's affairs. This is outrageous! Who gave him the confidence to make him dare to do this?" Yuan Shikai and others were extremely angry. Will the Baxing Party still make people live?
The military force may not be as good as the Baxing Party. The Beiyang Army has admitted this from the bottom of its heart. After all, the revolutionary army's achievements are real. In fact, in the eyes of the Beiyang Army, no matter who it is, even two or three times the elite army surrounded two of the six towns of Beiyang. It is impossible to kill them easily and neatly within two days. You must know that the Beiyang Army is known as a good military strategist and comparable to the great powers! ~
Until now, in addition to the people of the Baaking Party, many people in the world still don’t know how this battle was fought. It’s just that there were giant airships in the air that helped a lot. However, in this era, the soldiers really couldn’t understand how this airship was fought as the main battle. Could it be that they kept throwing bombs down from the air? But wouldn’t that person run away? What speed is the airship in this era? Can it really wipe out more than 20,000 living people so quickly?
People in the Beiyang system know the army they trained by their subordinates, and they will never believe that the airship dropped a few bombs in the air, which led to the scene of tens of thousands of troops on the ground surrendering. But it is precisely because of this that they know more clearly what the two towns of the Beiyang Army were completely wiped out to them.
That must be the result of absolute suppression caused by absolute strength!
It is hard for them to imagine how powerful the Baath Party’s army was.
The limitations of the times are sometimes really a very powerful thing. If you don’t stay in it, it is really difficult to understand how huge the inertia of a human knowledge system is!
However, no matter how powerful the army is, it is impossible for him to jump from the Yangtze River to the surrounding areas of Beijing all at once! This Luanzhou incident. The attitude of the Nanjing government is really so angry. It is obviously a place to come to find fault!
Yuan Shikai discussed it carefully with his group of people, and the conclusion was that no matter what, the Luanzhou incident must be suppressed, otherwise the so-called Beijing government would be completely out of trouble, and they would not fight back after they hit the nail on the head. The morale was dissipated, which was also very terrifying. I am afraid that the morale of our subordinates would not be able to stabilize!
A group of people decided to fight the same soldiers. The public opinion war was still fought, but the backer had to be found early. Yuan Shikai had to visit his old friend Zhu Erdian in person to find strong support! He was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid that if the battle was to start, Old Yuan knew in his heart that the current Beiyang Army might really not be able to withstand it.
The sixth town must be fast and ruthless. It must be solved immediately without the Nanjing government army taking action. The provincial Nanjing government is whining about this, and at the same time, it can also teach the Baxing Party a lesson. Look, the protection you claim is not worth the face!
To this end, Yuan Shikai also selected some of the officers and soldiers of the First Town to form a cooperation agreement, and led his powerful general Cao Kun to join the encirclement and suppression army.
The commander-in-chief of the front enemy was personally led by Duan Qirui. Although the current command of the Sixth Town is Li Chun and Feng Guozhang's direct line, Duan Qirui has held many official positions in the Beiyang Army and has also served as the commander of the Sixth Town. Most of the Beiyang generals were his disciples and had a prestige in the entire Beiyang Army, so they could naturally control these people. Of course, this is also a place that Yuan Shikai was afraid of Duan Qirui.
So, under the leadership of Duan Qirui, the Beiyang government urgently mobilized the Beiyang army in total, one town after another, first took the train to Tianjin, then headed north, and rushed towards Luanzhou with the momentum of Mount Tai.
At this time, Li Zhe's two brigades of SS Air Force, a total of more than 100 airships of various types, had already flown to the Bohai Bay. The huge body of the Imperial Air Force was slowly emerging in the morning mist of the Bohai Sea, like giant mountains, forming a thick layer of thick clouds that blocked the sky's light, and pressing towards the Tangshan area to the north.
...
As mentioned earlier, Li Zhejun's Air Force organization uses the 38-year-old A combat airship as the main force. The airship combat of this era is different from that of modern time and space fighter jets. The combat effectiveness of the airship is based on its load capacity, strike ability and maneuverability as evaluation criteria. These three coefficients are combined to be the combat effectiveness of the airship. At the same time, among these three coefficients, the load capacity itself represents the transportation volume of the airship, and also represents the impact force of the airship. Therefore, the airship does not have a distinction between transportation type and bombing type.
Unlike civil airships, the safety of combat airships is much higher than that of civil airships. The large number of safety air compartments distributed in their hull structure provide strong resistance to strikes for the airship itself. Most military airships use variable buoyancy technology, which provides a lot of buoyancy redundancy for the airship by changing the gas density of the air compartment.
This makes it impossible for even if you suffer an enemy's blow in the air, as long as this blow cannot reach a limit, it will not pose a threat to the survival of the airship. However, at the same time, this technology has greatly increased the body-effect ratio, volume and load-bearing ratio of combat airships. In terms of efficiency, it cannot be compared with civilian airships. The size of military airships has to be larger and larger, and now it is often more than two or three hundred meters long and has an effective volume of millions of cubic meters...
The same difference between it and civilian airships is also the maneuverability. As one of the most advanced models of the Empire, the 38-year-old combat airship uses a large number of solar energy supply technology. The cabins covered on the sides and top surfaces are all modular solar panels. The energy absorbed and converted by the internal fuel cells can maintain long-term low-speed cruise. In addition, the short-term high-speed power provided by the fuel engine constitutes the overall excellent maneuverability of the airship. In fact, it is precisely with this technology that the Roman raid in Space-1 can be achieved. It is impossible for traditional fuel engines to provide the power required for this ultra-long-range cruise.
