21 Aircraft psychological warfare
It was almost noon on October 11, 1911, and there was still no movement in Anqing City. The sentry of sentries to each sect also reported that the sects were calm. There was neither a phenomenon of escape nor any teams were sent to play any tactics.
Although there was a riot in Anqing City a little or two hours ago and gunfire was heard, it had already calmed down. It was the action of the revolutionaries.
The subordinates marched for a long distance, only after a rest in the middle of the night, and were extremely physically exhausted. In addition, in order to pursue speed, his artillery battalion was still seriously lagging behind. Therefore, if he wanted to attack Anqing, it was definitely not the best time.
However, now is the time when the situation is changing all over the country, and only at this time can we not attract more attention. Moreover, the domestic situation is chaotic, and no one can tell what will happen in the next minute. So speed is the key to Huafei's victory and the best interests.
"The machine gun battalion is ready, wait for the siege order to shoot and cover the commando, and take the city gate!"
With Hua Fei's order, the nine Maxim heavy machine guns facing the city gate opened the safety and aimed at the direction of the city gate.
At noon! As the pocket watch seconds hand in Hua Fei's hand had just arrived at the scale, Hua Fei shouted without hesitation, "Siege!"
Twist...! Nine Maxim heavy machine guns immediately ejected flames, making dull and heart-wrenching mechanical shooting sounds.
Such dense heavy firepower made the gravel splash at the Anqing city, and the sound of bullets whistling endlessly, making people dare not look up at all.
At the same time, a squad of assault teams carried **, and under the cover of heavy machine guns, they bent down and quickly approached the city gate. The Anqing defenders seemed to have noticed something, and began to shoot stray bullets one after another, and began to fight back aimlessly.
But when a counterattack appears, there will be immediate priority care of heavy machine guns. The scattered counterattack will have no impact on the assault squad. They arrived at the city gate smoothly, placed the ** and ignited it, and quickly avoided the safe area.
"Boom!", the whole earth seemed to tremble, and all the gunshots were completely covered up at this moment. All the citizens of Anqing stopped all their actions at this moment. The revolutionary new army outside the city looked towards the city gate. Everyone secretly said in their hearts that such a powerful explosion, the city gate should be broken!
"Damn it, blow the trumpet and order the assault squad to withdraw. The machine guns stop shooting!"
The smoke and dust dissipated. After seeing the bombed city gate through the telescope, even Hua Fei couldn't help but curse with such a steady cultivation. It turned out that the wooden city gate was blown up, but the Anqing defender who had prepared was actually piled up with earthblocks behind the city gate. No wonder the scouts had reported that there was no movement in the four city gates. It turned out that the city gates were blocked. It was so fucking that it was hard to chew!
Just as Hua Fei ordered people to cut down trees, build cloud ladders, and prepare for the next round of powerful offensive, a low roar suddenly came from the sky.
Airplane? Hua Fei felt a sudden thrill. He looked at the sound. It was indeed a three-array plane. Looking at the fuselage, isn’t it the trainer plane of the Flight Academy?
How could it be so fast? Everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky and saw that it was the flight academy plane. The new army, who was originally a little depressed by the failure to bomb the city gate, suddenly burst out and shouted happily. Everyone looked at the plane belonging to their own side in the sky with excitement, and the pride and courage in their hearts arise naturally.
Seeing that his subordinates' morale rose like a chicken blood, Hua Fei smiled. No matter how much damage these three aircraft could cause to the enemy, judging from the effect of boosting morale, he gave Feng Ru a labor force in a battalion!
At the same time, the gunfire of the Anqing defenders also stopped, and they all looked up at the strange things in the sky in a dumbfounded manner. The citizens who hid home due to the explosion also poked their heads out of their homes after hearing such strange sounds from the plane.
Wow, what a big bird! What a strange big bird! What kind of monster is this? A considerable number of people can stuff a fist when they see the plane. The feeling of panic caused by the war was instantly thrown to Java.
Suddenly, countless white pieces of paper floated out from the belly of the three strange big birds! Hum? What's this? It's so strange. Could it be that the feces of the big birds? They were actually paper? I wonder if they could turn them into gold the next day if they were picked up and hidden!
Curiosity drove many people, including the new army in the city, to the streets, raised their hands and jumped to compete for the pieces of paper.
Huh? There are still words on it? Look closely and the Revolutionary Army Declaration!
Wow, it turned out to be something from the Revolutionary Army. Many literate people were shocked. Some quickly threw away the paper and ran home, while others quietly put the paper into their arms, looked around, and then walked home as if nothing had happened.
After the plane sprinkled the paper, it pulled up a long banner. It was written with a brush on it, "Expel the Tartars and restore China." "National Revolution, Republic of China." "Equal land rights, everyone is equal."
Three planes hovered over Anqing for several weeks before returning with long banners. Flying over the new army outside the city, it caused another cheer.
Anhui Governor Zhu Jiabao was also looking at the plane in the air, his face really looked like a chameleon. At this moment, there was only one voice in his heart. That is, where did the plane come from the Revolutionary Army? Is this really the plane of the Revolutionary Army? Where did the Revolutionary Army come from? Where did the plane come from the Anhui?
Well, Zhu Jiabao just remembered that not long ago, Hefei seemed to have established a Longteng Flying Academy. Hefei? Hualangzi? Defense Corps? Revolutionary New Army?
Just as Zhu Jiabao was about to figure out the joints, several yamen run in with a pile of paper and said, "Big... Sir, look, so... so many revolutions..."
"Shut up!" Zhu Jiabao angrily snatched a few pieces of paper, and saw that it said, "Anqing's brothers and compatriots, the fire of the Wuchang Uprising has ignited the revolutionary wave across the country. Let's get up, **, break away from the rule of the Tartars and be upright Han people!
The new army in Anhui, the revolution is unstoppable. The current court is incompetent, which has caused our ancient Chinese country to be bullied by foreigners. What else can you get for such a court?
The soldiers and civilians in Anhui have been surrounded by tens of thousands of revolutionary troops outside the city. Put down your weapons, it is really not worth it for you to die in battle. Think about your family, you will not even get the pension...
Seeing this, Zhu Jiabao was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. He originally didn't care about the pieces of paper sprinkled by the plane, but now after seeing these sensational and provocative leaflets, Zhu Jiabao immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. If this was widely circulated by the new army stationed in the garrison, the morale of the army would be out of control.
"Send an order to confiscate all rebellious leaflets in the city. No one is allowed to hide the leaflets, otherwise once discovered, they should be punished for being guilty of being rebellious!"
A few pieces of paper blew in front of the new army outside the city with the wind. When the content on it was read out loud, everyone laughed happily. When Hua Fei saw the content on the piece of paper, he secretly cried out in his heart. This is a very popular public opinion war and psychological warfare in later generations. Unexpectedly, Feng Ru unconsciously tinkered with it. The influence of this tactic may be much greater than the psychological deterrence brought by dropping a few bombs.
"Grand Commander, please allow me to lead my troops to attack this city!" The commander of the Second Regiment of the New Army, the German Hebrew, suddenly walked up and asked Hua Fei for battle.
"Oh? How sure are you?" Hua Fei was preparing to organize a group of elite teams, planning to lead the team to attack the city himself. When Heber suddenly asked for a fight, he couldn't help but be very interested. To be honest, although he had worked as a mercenary in his previous life, the tactics of later generations were completely different from those in the present, and secondly, he had never commanded such a large-scale siege battle. So he really wanted to see what are the characteristics of this retired German captain in the siege battle?
