"It's not just about the equipment. Our metallurgical foundry industry is not working at all, and we don't have large-scale forging equipment. The quality of the engine has not been improved." Wan Wei said with a wry smile.

"Large-scale forging equipment? Don't we have large-scale forging equipment? I remember they said that the production line is a complete set?" Zhang Anle remembered that the Soviets were talking about a complete set of equipment.

"It's a full set of equipment, but it's not new equipment, but a complete set of equipment that they have eliminated. The old Maozi's own equipment is not very good, and what they eliminated is even inferior." What Wan Wei knows about this is still relatively clear.

"The old man actually used junk to fool us." Zhang Anle was a little annoyed when he heard that he was given a defective product.

"After all, this is a project they assisted, and it is impossible to give us good things." Wan Wei reminded Zhang Anle, you didn't buy it with money, it was given away for nothing.

"If they don't give it to us, we can do it ourselves. You do this. You should know a lot about new technologies and equipment. If you want something, make a report. I'll see if I can get it for you. Don't be afraid to spend money. Aircraft is a thing that costs money, as long as it can produce results, I am not afraid of spending money." Zhang Anle repeatedly emphasized that he is not afraid of spending money, and also emphasizes that he must produce results.

"With your words, I feel relieved. I will make a report as soon as possible and show it to you." Wan Wei was very happy when he heard that Zhang Anle said that he was not short of money.

"Is this kind of plane used for bomb throwing or reconnaissance?" Lin Changmin, who is still a layman than Zhang Anle, asked suddenly.

"Returning to Chairman Lin, this fighter jet is mainly used for aerial reconnaissance and destroying enemy planes. The bomber you mentioned is a bomber. The bomber is under test, and the prototype has already rolled off the production line. The plane that was tested today It is the fourth prototype, and it can be mass-produced without any problems." Wan Wei patiently explained to Lin Changmin.

"I thought this plane could not only drop bombs, but also be used for reconnaissance and combat." The layman did not have the self-consciousness of the layman at all.

When Lin Changmin said this, Zhang Anle felt a little dumbfounded.

"The speed of aircraft development is very fast, and it has only been developed to this level in more than 20 years. We must not lag behind, and must continue to innovate and learn. It can be said that the outcome of future wars will largely be determined by the Air Force. Air Force In the final analysis, what kind of development can be achieved by the aircraft, that is to say, you can decide the outcome of future wars." Zhang Anle didn't want to delve into the issue of what is a bomber and what is a fighter, and instead will determine the outcome of the war. The burden was given to Wan Wei.

When Wan Wei heard what Zhang Anle said, he immediately felt a lot of pressure on his shoulders.

"Of course, the role of aircraft is not only for war. The greater role lies in transportation and passenger transportation, so we must not only engage in fighter jets and bombers, but also transport and passenger planes." After Zhang Anle finished speaking, Wan Wei I feel that there are a lot of things in my burden.

"Chairman Zhang's plane doesn't have a name yet, so you can name it." Wan Wei asked quickly, remembering that he still had one important thing to do.

"No name? Isn't this plane called the Fokker D11?" Zhang Anle remembered very clearly that this is how Wan Wei translated it when the Soviet experts introduced it just now.

"Fokker d11 is a name given to it by foreigners. We should change it to a Chinese name in China. It sounds easy and sounds good." Wan Wei explained.

"Well..." To be honest, Zhang Anle didn't want to name this kind of plane that he didn't like, but he couldn't refuse when someone suggested it.

"How about calling the eagle?" Hanlin Changmin said from the other side of the door.

Zhang Anle really wanted to ask Lin Changmin, if this kind of plane was called Eagle, what would the next plane be called?But if you think about it carefully, there is no better name. Eagle is Eagle. At worst, all future aircraft will be called Eagle.

"Well, Chairman Lin is right. The Eagle is good. Why not call it the Eagle? From now on, our fighter jets will be named after the Eagle. This model is the Eagle-1. As for the bomber you mentioned just now, it will be called the Bomber. -1, our bomber is called the Boom series." Zhang Anle had no better idea, so he agreed with Lin Changmin, and he casually named the bomber.

"Eagle Strikes the Sky, Eagle Fighter, that's a good name." Wan Wei nodded after hearing Zhang Anle's words.

The plane was inspected quickly, and the people below signaled that everything was normal and it could take off.

"Chairman Zhang, the plane is ready to take off now, why should we start the test flight?" Wan Wei couldn't make a decision by himself, so he had to ask Zhang Anle for instructions.

"Let's take off at 9 o'clock, now it's 8:50, wait another 10 minutes." Zhang Anle looked at his watch and said.

Behind them, a camera was filming the people on stage, and there was another camera on the runway.Zhang Anle had prepared these things early in the morning. Last year's meeting of representatives from all walks of life in the Northwest District had a camera to take pictures.These things will be precious film and television materials in the future, which can tell future generations how difficult it is for the ancestors to start a business.

The 10 minutes passed in a blink of an eye. The pilot who knew the takeoff time pulled the joystick on time, and the plane began to run slowly on the runway.

After a while, the plane accelerated and took off.Although Zhang Anle didn't like this kind of plane, but the moment the plane took off, he still felt an indescribable excitement welling up in his heart, and applauded involuntarily.

When everyone saw Zhang Anle applauding, they also applauded loudly, and some even cheered loudly!Suddenly, thunderous applause from the viewing platform was very lively. The ascension of this aircraft represented the start of China's aircraft manufacturing industry, and also marked the start of the Chinese Air Force.

The test flight was very successful, the plane wandered around in the sky and flew back.Zhang Anle kindly took pictures with the test pilots, and also took pictures with all the busy crew members just now.

The guests also learned how to look good, and they took photos with the test pilots one after another.Accompanied by Wan Wei, Zhang Anle visited Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Factory with Lin Changmin, praised the workers, and had dinner with everyone at noon.

In the end, under Wan Wei's stalking, he left a calligraphy for the Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, with the four characters "Eagle Strikes the Sky" written on it.

Chapter 57 Li Jinglin goes to the field

Chapter 57 Li Jinglin goes to the field

After visiting the aircraft factory, Zhang Anle turned his attention to the war again.What he cared about was not the battle in Shanxi, but the battle in Zhili area of ​​Henan.

Since Li Jinglin defected again because of Feng Yuxiang's failure to keep his promise, the anti-Feng war, which was originally a good situation, took a turn for the worse.In just one month, the Feng faction eliminated Guo Songling, defeated Sun Chuanfang, and won over Wu Peifu. The anti-Feng coalition forces that were originally powerful are now only supported by two forces, Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan.

The Feng army has also changed from an absolute disadvantage at the beginning to an absolute advantage now, and the situation of the entire war began to change in favor of the Feng army.In order to deal with Feng Yuxiang and also to appease Li Jinglin, Zhang Zuolin combined the Zhili and Shandong armies into the Zhilu Allied Army.Li Jinglin was appointed commander-in-chief and Zhang Zongchang was appointed deputy commander-in-chief.

Zhang Zongchang was very dissatisfied with this appointment. He privately said to his subordinates, "Li Jinglin, this guy, he can't do war, he doesn't show loyalty, I don't care about working with him. Let him play with himself in the Zhilu coalition army."

Due to Zhang Zongchang's lack of cooperation, Li Jinglinkong had the title of commander-in-chief of the Zhishan coalition forces, and he could mobilize his own troops or troops.

After Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin negotiated the conditions, they changed the "rebellion" of the "discussing the rebel coalition" from Zhang Zuolin to Feng Yuxiang.He mobilized 6 troops to Zaoyang and Sui counties, preparing to march to Xinyang.In order to thank Zhang Zongchang for helping him regain Anhui, Jiang Dengxuan also sent two divisions to Anhui and Jiangsu to wait for Zhang Zongchang's dispatch.

In this way, Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan became dumplings, surrounded on all sides.Feng Yuxiang began to feel guilty. Not only did Yan Xishan's successive defeats in Shanxi not help him, he had to mobilize troops to help him.

Now the Zhifeng coalition forces total more than 50, and their own 20 troops are simply not enough. What's more, Zhang Zuolin is integrating the army in the Northeast, and he may not send his troops south someday.Yan Xishan couldn't last for a few more days, and with the addition of a total of 80 troops from the Northwest Army, he would have no choice but to die.

Under such circumstances, Feng Yuxiang's greatest wish is to preserve his strength as much as possible.He sent Duan Qishu to meet Wu Peifu in Hankou with his handwritten letter. He first admitted to himself all the mistakes he had made before, and hoped that Yushuai could forgive him.He also stated that the 20 national army is willing to accept the leadership of Yushuai and is willing to be Yushuai's pawn.It is also said that the troops have reached Baoding now, and they will capture Beijing in a few days.At that time, Duan Qirui and Zhang Zuolin will be kicked out, and a new government will be established with Wu Peifu as the president.

But Wu Peifu had completely lost trust in Feng Yuxiang at this time, and the anti-Feng situation was good before.However, Feng Yuxiang stood still and watched Sun Chuanfang and Zhang Zongchang fight to the death.Guo Songling was about to hit Shenyang, and instead of sending troops north to support, he fought with Li Jinglin instead.He believed that it was Feng Yuxiang's short-sightedness that caused the failure of the Anti-Feng War, so he thought it was okay to accept his troops, but Feng Yuxiang had to step down.Feng Yuxiang's troops must surrender unconditionally, accept disarmament and reorganization, and then discuss other issues.

After receiving Wu Peifu's conditions, Feng Yuxiang almost jumped up without slapping the table. This Wu Laosan really thought of a good thing.

At this time, one of his staff gave him an idea, "I heard that Li Jinglin and Zhang Zongchang had a bad relationship because of the commander-in-chief. Zhang Zongchang had a big opinion on Li Jinglin. Let's withdraw part of the troops from the Shandong border. Concentrate on attacking Beijing and oust Duan Qirui after occupying Beijing. If Yushuai agrees to a new government, Zhang Zuolin will not be afraid if the troops of several companies join together. If he does not agree, we can go north to Rehe and then attack Heilongjiang. The Soviets can help us gain a foothold there. Henan may not be able to stay there now."

Wu Peifu's heart was moved by the staff's words, but going north to Rehe was the last plan, and now he was thinking about how to protect the army and the territory in Henan.

Since Wu Peifu doesn't make sense, let Zhang Zuolin try.So he sent Zhang Shusheng to Fengtian to meet with Zhang Zuolin to discuss peace. Zhang Zuolin was eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood, so how could he talk to him.

Facing a wall on both sides, Feng Yuxiang could only find a way to find foreign aid to contain the enemy's troops, in order to gain a local advantage and defeat the enemy one by one.The first is the troops in Shandong. Feng Yuxiang sent someone to talk to Zhang Zongchang, saying that he did not want to be an enemy of Shandong and had not invaded Shandong for a single cent since October. Now he mainly wanted to clean up Li Jinglin and hoped that Zhang Zongchang could remain neutral. .

Zhang Zongchang was already unhappy with Li Jinglin, but now Feng Yuxiang wants to deal with Li Jinglin.He was naturally happy, but he couldn't say it clearly, and avoided seeing the people sent by Feng Yuxiang.The special envoy went to see Zhang Zongchang for three consecutive days, and the people below replied that the commander-in-chief was reorganizing the troops.

After Feng Yuxiang heard the news, he naturally understood what Zhang Zongchang meant, and naturally the reorganized troops could not send troops.

So Feng Yuxiang took out five divisions from the troops on the border between Shandong and Henan, transferred two divisions to Xinyang to defend Wu Peifu, and transferred three divisions to Baoding. In this way, Baoding had seven divisions. He divided these seven divisions into two There are two front armies, Song Zheyuan, commander of the first front army, and Yang Hucheng, deputy commander.Lu Zhonglin, commander of the second front army, and Li Huchen, deputy commander.

The three divisions of the First Front Army mainly attacked Tianjin, and the four divisions of the Second Front Army mainly attacked Peiping.

On December 12, Lu Zhonglin led four divisions into Gu'an and Fangshan. The six divisions of the direct miscellaneous army that Li Jinglin collected last year were guarding here. very weak.In addition, these troops are recruited troops, not Li Jinglin's direct descendants, so the shortage of pay for these troops is very serious.

At this time, soldiers did not have any thoughts of defending their homes and the country, and the current situation is not about defending their homes and the country. The warlords are fighting for territory.Soldiers fight to support their families. In their minds, it doesn't matter who they fight with, as long as they have military pay.But once the lack of payment has a great impact on the morale of the soldiers, there is no such good thing in the world if you want to serve as a soldier if you don't have any salary.

So this battle was fought so simply, the two soldiers met each other, and the defensive troops started to retreat in less than 2 hours after the battle.Even the officials couldn't stop them, and they didn't try to stop them.Just kidding about being short of pay for a few months, if they dare to mess around, it will be troublesome for the soldiers to defect before the battle.

Some soldiers were unwilling to give their lives to Li Jinglin, so they threw their guns and surrendered on the spot.Some of the troops of the six divisions fled in the morning, some surrendered, and most of them were retreating.

The defense line defending Beiping was broken so easily. Two days later, Lu Zhonglin's troops came to the city of Beiping.

On December 12, the National Army of the Republic of China occupied Beiping, and all officials of Duan Qirui's government in Beiping were arrested.Fortunately, what Feng Yuxiang opposed was that Zhang Zuolin did not oppose Duan Qirui, otherwise Duan Qirui really didn't know how to end it.
