Total War Predator

Although there is no heavy machine gun, the firepower of the m1908 is also very fierce, coupled with the large number, the Jin army's repeated attacks have ended in failure.

The Jin army launched 9 times to break through the encirclement in the morning, but none of them succeeded, and the soldiers were a little tired.This time, the Northwest Army began to attack, and the troops surrounded them from all directions, gradually narrowing the encirclement.

Seeing more and more brothers dying around them, some began to raise their guns and surrender.

At noon, as the last force of resistance was wiped out, most of the Second Division of the Jin Army was wiped out, and a small part surrendered.So far in Yanmen Road in the north of Shanxi, the last bit of resistance has been wiped out.Division commander Kong Fanyu, brigade commanders Li Weixin, Fu Zuoyi, regiment commander Cheng Tingdong, and Gao Wei were captured.

"Are you Fu Zuoyi?" Li Long looked at the young man who was ten years younger than himself and asked.

"That's right, I'm Fu Zuoyi." Fu Zuoyi thought to himself that I'm not a celebrity, so can I still pretend to be a fake?

"Very well, let's take them away." Li Long also just wanted to see who the commander was who ordered the commander to capture him alive.

Fu Zuoyi was captured and sent to the former enemy headquarters, where he was locked in a courtyard with other prisoners.From time to time, someone came over and asked: Who is Fu Zuoyi.He felt like he was surrounded by people like a monkey, which was very uncomfortable.

This time, none of the cadres above the level of the Second Division of the Jin Army were captured, and all were captured.When the news reached Yan Xishan's ears, Yan Xishan suddenly felt that the few people who gave up Yanmen Pass and fled were not so hateful anymore.Although he prepared for the worst, all the troops were killed.But not all the troops were killed in battle, and all the officers were taken away, which is not too awkward.

Fortunately, Commander Yan has many things to do, such as how to defend Taiyuan.The situation is very critical now. To the north: The four divisions of the Northwest Army captured the entire Yanmen Road in just a few days.Wutai and Dingxiang fell one after another, and Jingle and Kelan also fell into the enemy's hands. Their troops were only 200 miles away from Taiyuan.South: Linfen and Puxian were captured within a few days, and Jincheng and Yangcheng were also lost. In short, they were completely defeated.

But it's not just bad news. The reinforcements of Feng Yuxiang's two divisions are still more than 100 miles away from Shanxi.Three lines of defense were urgently deployed around Taiyuan. Yan Xishan didn't expect these to defeat Zhang Anle. This was his idea before the war started.Since the fall of Datong, his thinking has changed. He hopes to beat Zhang Anle to the pain and ensure his own territory to the maximum extent.

Before that, Yan Xishan repeatedly asked someone to pass on the message to Zhang Anle, willing to accept the leadership of the Northwest Army like Yang Zengxin, and the army accepted the change.But Zhang Anle never replied, and now he can only do his best and obey the destiny.

Zhang Anle was very happy these days, good news came one after another.First of all, Pingxingguan and Yanmenguan were conquered, and then Fu Zuoyi was also captured. There was also good news from Sichuan, which had not made much progress, and Yuan Zuming let go.

With Yuan Zuming, Sichuan, Xikang, and Guizhou cannot escape, and even Yunnan is not impossible.

Yuan Zuming's previous plan was very good, and he wanted to make two-handed preparations. This is understandable, and Zhang Anle can understand it.Because he knew that Yang Sen and Yuan Zuming could not count on him, and he could only rely on himself in the end.

Yuan Zuming's people had run into trouble with Yang Sen, and they knew that Yang Sen had no hope.What Yang Du said was right, Liu Xiang's people came in and out of Yang Sen's house all day long, and the possibility of a partnership between the two is very high.He didn't understand that enemies who were fighting for life and death before, would unite in a blink of an eye. These people are really thick-skinned.

After thinking about it for several days, Yuan Zuming felt that Zhang Anle's offer was very kind.Although he is conceited, he also has self-knowledge. He is not made to be an emperor, so he might as well follow others to be a general.

After making up his mind, Yuan Zuming and Yang Du signed an agreement, known in history as "Yuan Yang's Covenant"

The main contents are as follows:

Yuan Zuming voluntarily led his troops to join the Northwest Army. From then on, he was loyal to the Northwest Army and had no second thoughts.

The Northwest Army was responsible for the supply of military supplies, weapons and equipment for Yuan Zuming's troops.

The commander-in-chief must not discriminate against Yuan Jun and must treat them equally.

Yuan Zuming has the right to partial autonomy in his own jurisdiction.

……

The main points are these points. After Yuan Zuming repeatedly confirmed, the two parties signed the agreement, and then someone sent it to Xi'an. Zhang Anle stamped his own seal and the seal of the Northwest Army.

Zhang Anle loaded the guns and ammunition he had prepared from Shanghai and headed upstream. In addition to the guns and ammunition, there were 20 oceans.

The flag of the British was hung on the ship, and it arrived in Chongqing unimpeded all the way.Looking at the boxes of weapons and equipment, Yuan Zuming cocked his thumb and said to Yang Du: "I seldom convinced people in my life, but today I am convinced by Commander Zhang."

Yang Du could understand Yuan Zuming's meaning. He smiled and said nothing, but he was thinking in his heart, where is this going.These things are not trivial in the eyes of Commander Zhang, and they are by no means a big deal.

Zhang Anle, who was admired by Yuan Zuming and hated by Yan Xishan, was currently visiting Xi'an Aircraft Factory with great interest.

With the help of Soviet experts, the construction speed of Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Factory was very fast, and many things did not need to be explored, because they already had experience. Besides, the aircraft at this time did not have as many sophisticated instruments as later generations, and an engine was considered the most technologically advanced. Content stuff.

Their prototypes have already been built. Just at the beginning of last month, the technology of the World War I fighter was also successfully researched. That is to say, from a technical point of view, it is not a problem for Xi'an Aircraft Factory to produce a fighter that is at the level of World War I.

The Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Factory also undertook (and only they could undertake) the task of manufacturing fighter jets. The fighter jets of World War I were actually very simple, that is, the machine guns were put on the planes. Of course, this is the simplest way to say.The aircraft factory has indeed made a few moves, and several aircraft have been refitted in less than a month.

Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Factory is scheduled to hold the first flight ceremony on December 12. They first asked someone to ask Zhang Anle if he had time to go there. Zhang Anle was very happy that the prototype was off the assembly line and expressed his willingness to participate in the first flight ceremony.He also gave instructions that this first flight should be more grand, and it must not be messed up. He not only went by himself, but also took the reporters with him!

When Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Factory heard that Zhang Anle had agreed to attend the first flight ceremony, it attached great importance to it from top to bottom.It is said to be the first flight, but in fact this aircraft has been tested many times, and the aircraft manufacturer itself has test pilots, so they naturally want to be foolproof.

Zhang Anle said that going to see it was not just for fun. He also found the director who made the film, and wanted to film the first flight process, which will be a precious video material in the future.

December 12th was the second day of heavy snow on the 8th solar terms. Zhang Anle washed and dressed in the morning.After a simple breakfast, under the escort of the guards, drive to Xi'an Aircraft Factory.

Besides Zhang Anle, Lin Changmin and Wang Shuyi were also with him.Originally, Zhang Anle didn't want to bring Wang Shuyi with her, but Wang Shuyi heard that she was very interested in watching the plane.Zhang Anle also felt that it was wrong to keep her at home all the time, so she agreed.

When we arrived at the aircraft factory, the leaders of the factory had been waiting there for a long time.After all, the aircraft factory is a government enterprise. Now that the two biggest leaders of the government have come to inspect them, how can they have a bad attitude.

"Hi, Chairman Zhang, welcome to our Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Factory for inspection." Wan Wei, the director of the Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, saw Zhang Anle get out of the car and rushed to meet him.

"Haha, when I received your invitation, I said I must come and see it. This is an important day in the history of our Chinese Air Force." Zhang Anle smiled and held Wan Wei's hand, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Director Wan, your names will also be recorded in the annals of history."

"Thank you, Chairman Zhang, for your concern. Please come with me." Wan Wei led Zhang Anle and his party to the flight test site that had been arranged earlier.

Chapter 56 The Eagle Flies the Sky

The place where the first flight ceremony is held is the test flight base of the aircraft manufacturer, which is also inside a small airport.In order for everyone to observe the ceremony, a viewing platform was temporarily built.It feels like the playground of the school of later generations, but it is much bigger than that playground.

There were already many people waiting on the viewing platform at this time. Wan Wei invited some famous local social figures, government officials, some military officers, etc. There were more than 100 people.

Zhang Anle had seen some of these people before, and some hadn't, so he couldn't get to know them one by one at this time, so he waved his hand at everyone as if he had greeted them all.

Seeing that Zhang Anle did not intend to get in touch with these people more, Wan Wei originally wanted to introduce a few people to Zhang Anle, but now he had to give up, and finally only invited the chief expert from the Soviet Union.

This Soviet expert was about the same height as Zhang Anle, with a big Slavic beard.He can't speak Chinese, and Zhang Anle can't speak Russian. Fortunately, Wan Wei can speak Russian, and he acts as an interpreter in between.

Zhang Anle briefly exchanged a few words with the expert, and learned from the expert that the aircraft used for this test flight is the Fokker D11.The Fokker series of aircraft made great achievements in World War I. The Fokker d11 was produced by the Soviets according to German patents.It was manufactured in the country in 1922. The aircraft is equipped with an m-1 engine (power 6 horsepower, imitating the French 300-cylinder V-type), with a take-off weight of 8 kg. The aircraft is equipped with 1250 machine guns and 2 crew member. The maximum speed can reach 1km/h h, the voyage can reach 225 kilometers.

Now there are two planes parked on the runway, both of them are Fokker D-11.There were people running around next to the plane, they were doing the final checks.

Zhang Anle looked down upon the biplanes parked on the runway. Although he was not an expert, he had never eaten pork and seen pigs running.The biplane can still fly for a few years. If it is not for the training of technicians and pilots, he would rather build an aircraft factory in a few years, or directly establish a good relationship with the Germans and get planes from them.

"Have you ever considered developing a new type of aircraft by yourself?" Zhang Anle asked Wan Wei who was standing beside him.

"Of course I have considered it, but these old men are very arrogant, let alone we develop our own aircraft. When building these aircrafts, some of the suggestions made by our technicians are ignored, and they always say that if something goes wrong What should I do?" Wan Wei couldn't help curling his lips when he mentioned Lao Maozi's virtue.

"Don't worry about them, we have to embark on the road of independent innovation anyway. As long as you think you have a good project, you can apply for funding from me. I plan to set up our own design bureau, not only for aircraft, warships, guns, etc. You have to have your own technology. Now this kind of two-winged plane looks awkward, and everyone says that the plane is made from birds, how can there be such a two-winged bird." Zhang Anle couldn't help complaining to Wan Wei.

"Monoplanes have very high requirements on materials. I heard that foreign countries have developed high-strength aluminum alloys for the fuselage. Our current technical level is still too low. Take the engine as an example, our engine is actually not as good as the original aircraft. According to the standard, the engine life of the Soviets is only about 100 hours, and ours is even lower, which is more than 60 hours.” Wan Wei thought that if you are not in charge, you don’t know how expensive the rice is.

"What is the main reason why the engine data is not up to standard? Our equipment is not good? Or is it a technical problem?" Zhang Anle didn't know anything about airplanes, so he could only ask Wan Wei, an expert.
