Outside Guangzhou.
Xiliang, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was not very confident in defending Guangdong and Guangxi, but he still had some confidence in defending Guangzhou.
Because he built a very powerful defense line on the north bank of Liuxi River in the north of Guangzhou.
This line of defense is centered on the Liuxihe Railway Bridge and is the only way for the Guangdong-Hankou Railway.
If the Socialist Party of Science and Technology attacks, they will definitely pass through here.
This line of defense was built by the former governor Zhang Renjun.
The original goal was to defend against other revolutionary parties, which was not very good.
After Xiliang took office, because the situation in Guangdong was very chaotic, he was very worried about the fall of Shaoguan and the revolutionary party in Hunan marched in, so he vigorously expanded this line of defense.
Xiliang spent a lot of money on this defense line of Liuxi River.
He forced merchants in Guangdong to pool their contributions and took money from the treasury.
In total, he collected more than 4 million taels of silver, all of which were spent on this defense line. .
He bought weapons all over the world, recruited laborers, and invited British and French engineers to help him design defense lines.
At this time, although it has not been completely completed, from the perspective of this time, it can be regarded as very impressive.
With huge sums of money, British and French engineers also worked very hard, and they indeed showed their true skills.
From this point of view, the Liuxihe defense line is indeed a difficult line of defense to conquer.
The Liuxihe defense line is mainly composed of 7 interlocking fortresses.
There were originally 12, but now only 7 have been completed.
Each fortress is connected by communication trenches, as well as numerous blockade ditches, hidden soldier caves, and bunkers. .
More than a dozen cannons.
In addition to these guns, there are also more than 150 Maxim heavy machine guns.
Because Xiliang was in a hurry, these weapons were basically transferred directly from the British army in Hong Kong and the French army in Guangzhou Bay.
Although the great powers have declared neutrality, they are not fools if they don't make money if they have money.
Buying second-hand goods at double the price, it is difficult to encounter a bully like Xiliang.
After the British garrison commander in Hong Kong came to visit, he said: This line of defense is considered first-class even in Europe.
If the anti-government forces want to conquer this line of defense, they must be prepared to pay a price of at least 50,000 people.
The French commander of the Canton Bay concession made similar comments.
Therefore, Xiliang was very confident.
In his opinion, no matter how powerful the KSA's army was, they would never be able to take this line of defense without tens of thousands of people dying.
However, the Qing troops on the defense line at this time were not as confident as Xiliang thought.
Their faces were pale, they stared at the sky in horror, and they made meaningless sounds from time to time.
Because at this time in the sky, a group of black aircraft were approaching at high speed.
"The bandit's plane" looked at the approaching group of planes, and an officer finally cried out.
In today's China, and even in the world, the only one that can produce hundreds of planes at a time is the Party of Science and Technology.
The officers' faces were all blue.
Damn, you didn't play like this.
Didn't you agree to beat them on the ground?
You actually came from the sky.
You are so shameless.
They are not too afraid of attacks on the ground, but how to deal with enemies in the sky is a completely new problem.
Although this line of defense has been urgently added with air defense settings at the back, only God knows how effective it will be.
The officers were beating the drum in their hearts, and the soldiers' performance was even worse.
Because most of the new troops in the 26th Town were sent to Shaoguan as the first line of defense, there are currently very few new troops in the Liuxi River defense line.
The main forces are drawn from the patrol battalions of various prefectures, and about half of them are from Selected from armed merchant groups and local militia groups.
Few of these people had ever seen an airplane.

Now that they saw a large group of roaring and flying monsters with evil intentions at first sight, it was already good to be able to hold on to the position at this time.
At this moment, the fleet in the air consists of 6 squadrons and 96 aircraft.
Among them, there are 4 squadrons of J-1 fighters and 2 squadrons of J-2 fighters.
Originally, Chengfei's production capacity far exceeded that of Efei, but because it is still busy moving, the production has been reduced a lot, so now it has only manufactured less than 40 J-2s and only 2 squadrons.
We have to wait at least until the end of the year and the move is over before we can resume normal production capacity.
"That's right, it's this speed that's the airplane in my mind.
Let those fat winter melons follow behind and eat their shit, hahaha."
Jin Hai laughed wildly on the radio: "Brothers, come with me and kick the pig's tail.
's ass" Jin Hai's squadron was equipped with J-2 "Raven" fighter jets, and he fell in love with this "high-speed" fighter jet at first sight.
At that time, as a top player, he had priority in choosing a car.
After test-flying two types of aircraft, he immediately chose the faster and more powerful "Raven".
Since changing his clothes in June, he has been on the plane every day, almost falling asleep with her arms around him.
"Okay, go kick Pig Tail's ass."
"Just use pig tails to open our new plane."
The squadron channel suddenly burst into excited howls of ghosts and wolves.
In fact, what they said is wrong.
As early as 2 years ago, the New Army began to cut pigtails.
By this time, there were basically no "pig tails" anymore, including those bannermen officers and soldiers who had cut off their pigtails.
In places like Guangdong, the folk customs have always been developed, and even many old soldiers have cut off their braids.
Well, it doesn't matter.
Two squadrons of eight J-2s swooped down from high altitude, with deputy squadron leader Lieutenant Jin Hai rushing at the front.
When he reached a height of 500 meters, he pressed the bomb release button, and two 25-kilogram bombs roared down, targeting the heavy artillery position of Fortress No. 4.
Then, he suddenly pulled up the nose of the plane and passed over the Qing army at high speed.
One bomb missed by more than ten meters, but the other bomb hit the target.
As soon as Jin Hai's plane pulled up, there was a series of violent explosions behind him.
An extremely violent explosion occurred at the "Boom Boom Boom" heavy artillery position.
The explosive fireball soared more than two hundred meters high.
Countless masonry, soil, scrap steel and human remains flew everywhere.
A piece of 203 cannon Guan actually flew hundreds of meters away.
One-third of the entire No. 4 Fortress was razed to the ground.
"Oh shit, you can't, it's just a 25 kilogram bomb."
Jin Hai looked back, his eyes almost popped out, and his hand slipped, almost causing the plane to tilt.
Planes that were originally planning to bomb in turn quickly pulled up or turned for fear of being affected by the explosion.
At this time, the squadron leader's voice came from the earphones: "Jin Hai, you are so lucky, you blew up the ammunition depot, hahahahaha."
The last time he bombed the Jijie defense line, Jin Hai was also very lucky and actually destroyed 2 firepower points. , which was one of the reasons why he was promoted to lieutenant.
The comrades in arms all made a fuss on the radio and expressed their envy, jealousy and hatred.
This accidental bombing greatly reduced the morale of the Qing army.
The surviving defenders of Fortress No. 4 suddenly dispersed and fled.
Such a huge explosion could be seen dozens of miles away, and the defenders of other fortresses were also unsafe.
"This won't work, we have to retreat," the heavy artillery commander of Fortress No. 1 said to the fortress garrison.
This guy was a Frenchman.
Not only is he French, many of the heavy artillerymen in these fortresses are foreign mercenaries recruited by Xiliang with high salaries.
Although Xiliang bought a lot of second-hand heavy artillery, the artillery was far from enough.
He had no choice but to find foreign aid.
When the Qing Dynasty was fighting against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, we had already looked for foreign aid.

It would be nothing if we did it again.
It was just that this time we changed from a "foreign gun team" to a "foreign artillery team."
Because Britain and France had declared neutrality and could not do it too blatantly, they found a group of retired artillerymen from various European and American countries from nearby colonies such as Hong Kong, India, and Annan and introduced them to Xiliang.
Xiliang was overjoyed and arranged for these "international friends" to operate heavy artillery in various fortresses.
However, these "international friends" only collect money to do things.
They are here to make extra money, not to work hard.
When they saw that the fortress next door was "shot into the soul", they were all frightened and prepared to turn in.
"Mr.
Mitterrand, you can't do this.
You have received a commission and should fulfill your responsibilities."
The fortress guard was furious.
He was Xiliang's loyal supporter, so naturally he would not run away like these mercenary artillerymen.
The French guy shrugged and said: "Mr.
Guard, our agreement only deals with the enemy's ground attacks, and does not include enemies in the sky.
Unfortunately, we cannot implement this agreement.
As for the commission, we can return it to you.
It's yours."
The deposit was paid."
The Frenchman took out a bag of silver dollars, threw it in front of the guard, and turned around and left.
Other "international friends" also followed suit and left deposits and left.
Speaking of this, the fortress garrison could only watch them leave with livid faces.
It was impossible to force these foreign adults to work hard.
In the end, he could only curse angrily: "You guys, these foreign devils are really unreliable."
"Don't fucking panic, don't panic, we still have a way."
After a lot of effort, the defenders finally suppressed the commotion of the defenders.
He turned around and shouted to the messenger: "Quickly, drag out those of us who are masturbating.
Grandma's is just a few planes.
I don't believe in this evil."
The defenders immediately ran to the warehouse and dragged out several carriages.
The carriages contained a pile of high things and were covered with felt.
The soldiers scrambled to pull the carriage to several empty gun emplacements in the fortress, and then moved in sandbags and bricks to pad the carriage.
Two soldiers climbed onto the carriage and lifted the felt to reveal its contents.
It turned out to be a Maxim heavy machine gun mounted on an iron frame.
The iron frame was in the shape of a four-corner trapezoid and was fixed on the carriage.
There was a rotatable iron disc on the top of the iron frame.
The heavy machine gun was mounted on an iron disc at the top of the rack.
To be precise, this should be the Nanjing version of the anti-aircraft machine gun.
Yes, although it is very crude, this is indeed an anti-aircraft machine gun.
This is normal.
The Qing army is not a fool.
It was so satisfying to be blown up by the revolutionary army's planes and airships that even a pig learned to behave.
So it's not surprising that they developed anti-aircraft machine guns a few years in advance.
After an officer proposed the idea of an anti-aircraft machine gun, Xiliang felt like he had found a treasure and immediately ordered craftsmen to modify more than twenty Maxims and arrange them in various fortresses to guard against air attacks by the revolutionary army.
It's just that the revolutionary army came too suddenly this time and they were not fully prepared.
At this time, some sharp-eyed pilots also discovered the movements of the Qing army.

They immediately informed their comrades of the situation through the radio
