When the plane approached, Yang Yuanzhao and Cai Yi, who had already finished cutting the ribbon and had not left, were standing on the top of the control tower, looking at the plane flying down with binoculars. One by one, the planes that landed, Cai Ye sighed for a while, he is an army officer, and he thinks that his ability to accept it is very strong, but the five years in the northwest are the five years in which he has made the fastest progress, from an ordinary, initially accepting the old-style military, or the semi-castrated military of Japan, to now, he has become a soldier with an international perspective and has mastered a large number of new tactics, and the change in strength is almost a world of difference.

Machine guns, artillery, special forces, snipers, airships, airplanes, these projects that he has never thought about and have not been in contact with, began to frequently enter the sequence of the army, providing a lot of help to the strength of the army, as far as the now expanded Northwest Army is concerned, if all the logistics supplies are in place and have all the technical equipment, he can defeat the first army with 3 divisions that confronted the Russian army head-on, and has just been expanded, this is not nonsense. Instead, it has really undergone rigorous training and has become proficient in this new type of technology and tactics, and the new tactics are simply revolutionary for the improvement of the strength of the army.

Cai Ye asked: "How many planes are there this time, and how many directly support us!" ”

Yang Yuanzhao hesitated for a moment and said: "This time, most of the aircraft need to be used intensively, and there is not much support for land warfare, maybe no more than 10 squadrons!" ”

Cai Yi was slightly depressed, in the northwest establishment, a squadron of 23 aircraft. 10 squadrons, but 230 aircraft. Perhaps a year or two ago, that number was huge. However, this time, thousands of planes gathered in Shandong, but only one-tenth supported the army, which was somewhat disappointing.

Yang Yuanzhao also had no choice, the main purpose of this time was not to attack the landing army, he believed that the elite Cheng Dù of the First Army, under the same number, or even the situation of one to three or four, would hold the Northwest Army. It will not be worse than the Japanese Army, it is only a matter of time to annihilate them, but this time the most important thing is not the army, but the navy, and the Japanese navy is what should be the most worried, because of technical and other reasons, the Northwest has not successfully developed a torpedo machine, this epoch-making killing weapon, for ships of this era. Especially for capital ships, it's a nightmare, so you can only choose the way of horizontal bombing, but the capital ships of this era are good. Air defense is rarely installed, and Japan does not have one, and horizontal bombing can also be selected relatively low. For example, 1500 meters, 2500 meters or so. According to the bombing training in the northwest in the sand mold, a formation of 1,000 planes bombed together. For capital ships, 300-500 pounds of bombs are generally chosen, as for small boats, 100-150 pounds is more than enough, and 3,000 aircraft, in addition to those supporting the army, are divided into three batches to carry out carpet bombing, to ensure the intensive range of bombing, and to ensure that most of the Japanese navy will be sent to the sea.

On the runway ahead, there were cheers, another pilot, piloting the plane, successfully landed on the runway of Qingdao Airport, the young pilot took off his hat, revealing a young face, judging from the face, his age, no more than 15 years old, compared to the infantry, the Air Force for talent and knowledge requirements are still a little higher, so can only be found from the results of compulsory education, these have gone through 3-4 years of compulsory education, for the loyal young people in the northwest, A large number of people have entered the sequence of the Air Force, the average age of the current Air Force pilots is only 18.5 years old, which is definitely the world of young people, 15-year-old is rare, but it is not nothing, the youngest is only 14.5 years old, in later generations, it may be an ordinary junior high school student, but in this world, it is more or less helpless than sent to the battlefield.

"It's good to be young, and if it weren't for what I have now, I would have liked to learn how to drive." Cai Ye said with emotion. Because he came to the northwest, Cai Ye was not placed under house arrest in Beiyang, and he did not get infected with some bad habits, even if he had some minor physical problems, he would be cured by Guò Northwest Hospital.

"When peace comes, when China really stands up, go and play as you like." Yang Yuanzhao said with a smile.

Cai Yi smiled bitterly and did not continue to speak, as a soldier, especially a high-level soldier, he is very clear about the future plan of the northwest, the unification of the whole of China is just a foundation, the land to the south and north, for the Chinese nation to fight for more living space, and the sea from the green water to the blue water, really deep into the ocean, in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and the great powers, this is the future destination of the northwest, so calculated, peace may be more than ten years later.

Even so, Cai Yi's low feelings did not last long, as a soldier, fighting is his duty, if he can fight for the living space of the Chinese nation, to struggle, he is willing.

The busy airport is still docked with planes, but they are all busy people, and it is enough time to spare 2 hours, Cai Ye needs to implement the protection system of the army, and Yang Yuanzhao needs to grasp and manage it together, this time the matter involved is larger, and even defending Jiaozhou Bay, pitting the Japanese Combined Fleet is just a foundation, and the follow-up plan will be even larger, involving more personnel and troops.

The headquarters is located in the Qingdao fortress, which is in the basement of the fortress, and all kinds of antennas have been erected, hundreds of radio stations are working intensively, some are connected to the public radio stations outside, and some are professional radio stations that are combined with various armies, armies, and naval air forces, and all kinds of information are summarized into the staff room, and in the staff room, at least 700 staff officers, under the leadership of the chief of staff, are nervously judging the current situation, the possible landing site of Japan, and the direction of attack of the combined fleet. How to choose the right time to show the identity of the Northwest requires planning.

"Japan has declared war!" The confidential secretary saw Yang Yuanzhao come back, and hurriedly informed Yang Yuanzhao of the information during this time, the time of Japan's declaration of war was exactly noon, before going to cut the ribbon, Yang Yuanzhao had already gotten the news, but it was not particularly certain, and now, the official document declaring war has been submitted directly to the German Foreign Ministry by the Japanese ambassador to Germany, and Japan's side, at the same time, also used a clear code message to release the news to the world.

"Is there any movement in the army?"

"Nope!" After the confidential secretary finished speaking, he seemed to hesitate a little, and said uncertainly: "There is news from Beijing and Nanjing, it seems that the Japanese have been active more frequently during this time!" ”

"Beijing and Nanjing?" Yang Yuanzhao was stunned for a moment, stood still, and his mind kept turning, and an idea that he couldn't believe suddenly appeared, any action in Japan should have a reason, it is impossible not to leave Jiaozhou Bay and not come to take it, but to look at Beijing and Nanjing, perhaps......

Hardly any hesitation, Yang Yuanzhao ordered loudly: "Send more people immediately, and you must figure out what the Japanese want to do!" ”

It is not easy to obtain information on the Japanese side, after all, they are two countries, and Japan is also a country with a system, but Beiyang and the revolutionary party, they themselves do not pay attention, especially Beiyang, which inherited the tradition of the Qing Dynasty, is almost the same as a sieve, as long as you spend effort, put in energy, and even provide a large amount of funds, there is no intelligence that cannot be obtained.

2 hours after Yang Yuanzhao gave the order, some preliminary information came over, currently active in Beijing and Nanjing, are the Japanese high-level in China, Beijing is the ambassador, Nanjing is the consul general in Shanghai, and even they are not the highest, 5 Japanese with obvious military characteristics are also among them, after a detailed investigation, their identities have also surfaced, they are all lieutenant generals, 3 army, 2 navy, each shouldering different missions, their purpose is to persuade Beiyang and the revolutionary party, work together, Deal with the Northwest.

Yang Yuanzhao looked at the information for a long time, and then he believed that this matter was true, and sighed, although he knew that the revolutionary party and Beiyang had never given up, and they wanted to overwhelm the northwest and the other party to unify the whole of China and obtain supreme rights, but how much did they know about the northwest?

2 years ago, the Northwest could independently resist a million Russian troops, at that time, the Northwest was only in the Northwest, and there were not even some large-scale national weapons, and now, the Northwest not only obtained the necessary equipment for industrial production and heavy military production from Germany and Britain, but also with the help of Germany, with the manufacturing capacity of battleships, in just two years, the foundation of the Northwest has changed, he has not yet thought about eliminating the Beiyang and the Revolutionary Party, unifying the whole country, Beiyang and the Revolutionary Party are preparing to start in advance, In particular, the conditions put forward by the Japanese were not high, the direct support from Beiyang and the revolutionary party did not exceed 8 million US dollars, and there were several divisions and materials, the largest of which was to divide the northwest with Baotou as the center, the northern part belonged to Beiyang, and the southern part belonged to the revolutionary party, and the two sides temporarily divided the world equally, while Japan only got the sphere of influence of Shandong.

Yang Yuanzhao sneered and said: "Be generous to others, and don't look to see if there is a tooth mouth, don't break your teeth!" ”

It is only a plan for the Japanese side, and it needs to be modified to a certain extent, the huge staff regiment that has been preserved in the northwest for a long time has made countless plans in the past time, Beiyang, the revolutionary party and Japan, if they start at the same time, it will be very troublesome, especially under the premise that a large number of planes are mobilized to Shandong, but under the premise that firepower, training and even preparation are all superior, Yang Yuanzhao is not worried about the safety of the northwest at all, maybe China, which is separated, has been in existence for too long, It's time to put things right and reunify China.
