117 The Glory of the Pioneers

In the afternoon, the citizens of Xuzhou who were hiding at home due to the war suddenly heard the sensation outside and became very lively. Liu San heard the yelling sound just now, as if it were Zhao Li on the same street! What's going on? Didn't the murderous devil just attacked Xuzhou City? These guys didn't hide at home? At this moment, would they still want to see the murderous devil look like?

The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and there was no sign of stopping. And listening to the sound, many people's tone was filled with joy and excitement, and there was no desperate moan at the foreseeable disaster.

Liu San couldn't help but be curious and quietly opened his wooden door. He stuck his head out and looked, hey, let alone the soldiers who killed the devil, Zhang Dashi's braided army could not see any of them, all of whom they knew were neighbors. And what was strange was that everyone was carrying an empty rice bag and hurried in one direction.

"Hey, Guo Tu, stop! What's going on? You guys carry empty pockets, why are you running away?"

Guo Tu was covered in sweat and gasped, "Liu San, don't you know yet? That Hua Killing God... Oh, no, it was Commander Hua who captured Xuzhou City! That Grand Marshal Zhang ran away and left a lot of military rations. Commander Hua was compassionate and opened the warehouse to release the grain. All the people in Xuzhou can go and get a bag of military rations! Everyone in the city has gone, and you are still staying at home? Tell you in a low voice, I've been going to get the second bag!"

As soon as Guo Tu finished speaking, Liu San ran home in an enclave like fire. He poured the remaining half bag of rice into the rice jar, and ran out without even saying hello, and rushed out to follow the crowd outside to get military rations. Such a good thing can never be encountered once in a century! Bodhisattva bless you, bless you, bless you, the rice has not been sent yet! After receiving the bag of military rations, I... I cook rice for the children for three days.

Along the way, many Xuzhou citizens walked back with a bag of rice on their backs with satisfaction. The focus of the discussion also fell on Commander Hua.

"Oh, this Commander Hua is a good man, a good official. I think it's the first time I have lived in more than fifty years, and it's the first time I have received rice that the official family doesn't need for money!"

"Yes, yes, who said that Commander Hua was a murderous demon? We are not afraid of such a murderous demon king! Anyway, we have not seen him kill our common people!"

"What a pity, it is said that this commander Hua will withdraw from Xuzhou soon. Alas, why not stay? I really hope he will get back soon, we have military rations again!"

"Where are those good things? Commander Hua couldn't take these military rations away. He was allocated to us! Do you think there will be more food when you come back next time?"

While Liu San and others were queuing up to receive the grain land, the first, the third and second regiments of the new army had already been rested. The entire army was dispatched toward Huaibei. In addition to the eighth regiment of the grain land, the other regiments were almost ready to set off. The second division of the Beiyang Division was very fast. According to the latest military intelligence, it is expected that they could reach Xuzhou City by dawn.

Shanghai. Many workers and citizens have finished their work all day. Although the heat is hot, the first thing everyone does is to buy a iron-blooded military newspaper. These days, the battle in Anhui is in full swing. A few days ago, the First Division of the New Army wiped out more than 7,000 Yi's army, shocking the whole country and causing countless discussions. There are doubts, disbeliefs, excitement, and scolding. However, how people react. Everyone has to admit a fact. That is, everyone is eagerly waiting for the underground battle of the First Division of the New Army. Where will it happen? When will it happen? What surprises and surprises will it bring. No one seems to have thought that the First Division of the New Army will lose. Hopefully no one thinks that the First Division of the New Army will be dull!

As the official military newspaper of the Chinese Revolutionary Military and Local Government, the Iron Blood Military Daily reported on the battles in Anhui. It was completely first-hand information. There was no such crisis of trust in this era. In addition, the Iron Blood Military Daily often has rich pictures, so it has become the first-hand information for people to understand the Anhui Revolutionary Battlefield. Chen Xian and others were ordered to temporarily move the editorial department of the Iron Blood Military Daily to Shanghai, which greatly improved the effectiveness of the news.

Alas, it's still old news. It's nothing more than military comments and some so-called local study abroad experts' battlefield dynamic speculation. Since the Yi army fought, the First Division of the New Army has disappeared from all public sight. Some people have judged based on the logistics supply of the First Division. The First Division may have rushed its troops north and conquered Beijing City, thus repaying the shame of the Forbidden City.

This speculation is well-founded. Although there is no evidence to prove it, it still caused a lot of riots among citizens in Beijing. Although many people understand that with Hua Fei's current strength, who would have thought that the Second Regiment of the New Army could enter the Forbidden City silently? This Hua Langzi must not use common sense to guess it.

"Extra.Extra! Emergency! The First Division of the Revolutionary Army captured Xuzhou City. The Braid Zhang Xun led the remnants to escape from Suqian!"

"The First Division's Battle Report, Xuzhou City's artillery fire surged into the sky, captured Xuzhou in six hours. The enemy troops were captured and countless materials were seized!"

"Surprise! The pioneers show their power, and the eagle in the sky shows its might!"

"The First Division opened the warehouse and released grain, and Xuzhou City was filled with joy!"

Several well-known newspapers in Shanghai launched emergency accounts almost at the same time. The focus of the reporting area of ​​the Iron Blood Military Newspaper is military information, while other folk newspapers such as Shenbao have no such channels, so they can only use the huge news reporting network to report other miscellaneous news stories.

The First Division actually captured Xuzhou? The Braidi army fled Suqian? This news once again greatly challenged people's nerves. You must know that before the war, Braidi Zhang Xun was very clamoring, such as avenging a single arrow in Nanjing, and swearing to crush Hua Lengzi's bones and ashes. Now, it's only a battle. The 20,000 army fought against the 10,000 new army. With the city defense, it still persisted for less than a few hours before running away with its tail. Braidi, Rabbit handsome, it looks like!

The First Division once again had a great victory spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. With the promotion of revolutionaries, cheers and celebrations from all over the country were one after another, which made the shadow of the defeat in the fight against Yuan in Jiangxi and Hubei dispersed a lot.

Sun Wen and Huang Xing and others in Nanjing were even more excited. In the extremely severe situation of the revolutionary situation in Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Hunan, Sichuan and other provinces, the revolutionary situation in Anhui was unique. Not only did they wipe out the Yi army's troops, but they now defeated Zhang Xun and occupied Xuzhou! Other aspects also resisted the attacks of Ni Sichong and Lei Zhenchun. It can be said that Hua Fei resisted the 70,000 Beiyang Army's overall southward advance by just one's own strength, supporting the revolutionary situation in Anhui. But in the minds of Sun Wen and others, they still did not believe that Hua Fei could continue to win. After all, the strength was in comparison. So they claimed that they had no choice but to telegraph the whole country and informed the Beijing government that the army would withdraw its troops and cease the war. Both sides put state affairs first and negotiated a peaceful solution.

Ordinary people and revolutionaries were concerned about the trend of the war. However, the news about the pilot aircraft being put into actual combat in the newspaper was quickly placed on the table of ministers of various countries. Since the establishment of the British Air Force, various ** teams have been equipped with hundreds of aircraft. However, at this time, most of the aircraft of various countries were like Huafei's chick reconnaissance aircraft, and they did not have combat capabilities at all. The air forces of large logarithmic countries are still affiliated with the army, and their mission is to be responsible for reconnaissance operations.

But Huafei used planes to bomb in Xuzhou, and in particular, a captured image of the ground plane bombing was printed on the newspaper. Several majestic pioneer planes hovered in the clear sky, and something similar to a mortar shell fell under the belly. Another picture under the accompanying picture shows Xuzhou City under the bombing of the plane. The flames soared into the sky and thick smoke was dense.

"Okay! It's so fun! I used to be curious about how expensive this Huafei made such an aircraft. It's really inconvenient to speed and speed. It turns out that it's used for bombing. Okay, come here. Quickly send a telegram to Shanghai Dikele and Smith and ask them to hurry to Hefei and see Huafei in person. We want to order such aircraft in the United States, and it's best that we can buy his design drawings!"

The German Embassy in Shanghai, Minister Malink stared at his assistant Edsey with a serious face, "I don't want a reason. Why hasn't any of the sixty aircraft ordered in Germany been delivered? I will send the relevant information back to Berlin immediately, and you will immediately rush to Hefei. If it is not expected, the German Army Department will definitely be very interested in this type of aircraft. We not only need to purchase more aircraft, but also require Huafei to give priority to supplying us and provide the technology of improved shells! I authorize you to make full decisions about what conditions are needed!"

This new type of combat method immediately caused a rapid response in the United States, Germany, Britain, France, Russia, Japan, Italy and the Austrian countries. Almost that night, the General Staff of Hefei's military headquarters received more than a dozen telegrams, claiming that countries would send specialists to discuss matters such as purchasing aircraft and technology with Huafei.

At noon the next day, Hua Fei had already returned to Huaibei. Looking at the power sent by Sun Wen and others in his hand, Hua Fei remained silent. Peace? Negotiation? These are all empty talk! Zhang Gong did not turn around. If Yuan Shikai could not understand, he would not get any benefits even if he went south. He would not withdraw his troops! Judging from the newspaper, some revolutionaries in the north actually opposed armed attacks on Yuan and advocated legal control of Yuan, which made Hua Fei laugh and cry. Hua Fei never looked down on any revolutionaries. In his eyes, this was a group of patriots who were full of patriots who worked hard for the country and the people, but they were too idealistic and could not see the cruelty of reality.

"Report, telegram from the General Staff of the Military Department, and representatives from various ministers sent to discuss with us the matter of cooperation in the purchase of pioneer planes!"

There is indeed no airtight wall in the world, but Huafei has no intention of keeping the pioneer plane confidential. He also needs to buy a lot of land. If you don’t have anything that foreigners are interested in, you will obviously have to go to the bargaining chips. Besides, this kind of plane is just an initial experimental plane and cannot be advanced at all. Even if foreigners don’t come, Huafei will have to find a way to sell it at home!

"Call back to the General Staff and let them receive our guests well. When the battle situation is stable, I will go back immediately!"

"Order the General Staff Department to immediately organize the militia logistics corps to transport ammunition and military supplies to Huaibei. We may have a long-term defensive battle to fight!"

"I ordered the General Staff to speed up the training of the construction corps. I have insufficient troops and I may need to activate this reserve force."

"Order the Fourth Regiment of the Second Division and the Fifth Regiment to occupy Suzhou immediately and build a temporary airport in Suzhou for the Pioneer plane to stop and replenish the supply!"

"yes!"
Chapter completed!
