Chapter 79: Aerial Attack (Part II)


Chicken Street, Cliff Fortress.

"Oh my god, what is that?"

A New Army member of the firepower point pointed to the sky and exclaimed.

"Ah, there are monsters coming from the sky.

There are many big monsters with their mouths open."

The officers and soldiers at other firepower points also screamed.

The shocking power of the airship is just different.

Just when it appears, many new soldiers are scared to death.

Especially the vivid shark mouth painting, at least increases the intimidation power by 30%.

One-third of the firepower points in front were destroyed by aircraft, which had greatly reduced the morale of the new army.

It was only with the threats and inducements from above that the morale of the army was stabilized.

"Don't panic, idiot, that's the bandit's airship."

"What kind of monster is that?

It's an airship.

What are you afraid of?

It's similar to the planes of bandits.

As soon as they lower their altitude, they jerk off so hard that I can even hit them down.

These things are slower and easier to hit."

Of course, there are also knowledgeable people in the new army, and some officers who have seen the world quickly cheered up their subordinates.

In theory, clumsy and huge airships are indeed better to fight than airplanes, but the reality is not so good.

The New Army soon discovered that those airships had actually stopped moving forward and were just hovering at an altitude of 3 kilometers away.

This position exceeded Maxim's range in terms of distance and height.

After all, the Maxim is not a professional anti-aircraft machine gun.

Even if the range is sufficient, it cannot be raised to such an elevation angle.

Major Lin Shenhe, who led the revolutionary army, was not a fool.

After learning the opponent's firepower configuration, he would stupidly approach the opponent's firepower point.

Besides, he had no intention of using bombs to kill the opponent.

"Report to deputy commander, the enemy's firepower point has entered the range of the main gun."

The surveyor on the airship reported to Lin Shenhe.

"Got it, order each boat to use this boat as the benchmark, double row up and down, forward bombardment array" Lin Shenhe put down the telescope and said calmly.

The captains and communicators below immediately used radios to communicate with each boat and assign targets.

The airships of the Revolutionary Army all adopt the mature design of later generations.

There are auxiliary propellers on the left and right sides of the airship to control the posture.

There are 4 to 8 propellers according to the size of the airship.

These auxiliary propellers can also perform cross-shaped rotations up, down, left, and right.

Not only can they control the airship to drift left and right or turn in place, they can also help the airship rise or fall, raise or lower its head, advance or retreat, which is much more flexible than the current mainstream airships. times.

The most important thing is that they can perform positioning and hovering in the air like helicopters without worrying about being blown away by the wind.

This is something similar at this time is completely unable to do.

The eight airships quickly formed a double-row formation, with each airship spaced about 200 meters apart.

The main gun was loaded with the first shell.

The new officers and soldiers saw a ball of fire and smoke rising in front of the airship.

After a few seconds, "boom", eight shells exploded on the cliff.

In the first round of tests, all were lost.

Each boat immediately corrected its firing points according to the impact point of the projectile.

In the second round of "Hang Bang" test firing, one shell hit the target.

In the third round of test firing, two of the rounds were successful.

One of the shells detonated the ammunition piled inside the fire point, causing a big explosion and the entire cave collapsed.

It really has the effect of "one shot into the soul".

Subsequently, each boat tilted its firepower towards its respective targets, and after firing seven rounds of salvos, 12 firepower points were destroyed.

Although there are still 32 firepower points, being beaten without being able to fight back is really damaging to morale, and even those officers who have seen the world begin to waver.

After the eighth round of volleys once again knocked away a heavy machine gun, the new troops could no longer maintain their morale.

A new army member at a firepower point rolled and crawled out of the bunker and scurried down the mountain.

For every one, there are two.

Many new troops in various bunkers abandoned their machine guns and cannons and fled this terrible place.

"Stop the main gun firing, attack forward 1,000 meters, then turn to the left to face the enemy, use full firepower, support fire, and support the army's attack."

Lin Shenhe's face flushed with excitement, and he clenched his fists and gave the order.

The main gun stopped firing, and the directional machine guns on both sides of the main gun began to spit out tongues of flame, strafing back and forth on the cliff fortress, and the airship array began to attack and advance.

After arriving at the position, the airships turned 90 degrees to the right and pointed their left side at the enemy.

Subsequently, 75 infantry artillery, 57 infantry artillery, 37 rapid-fire artillery, and 7 Maxim machine guns fired together.

The artillery shells poured like a heavy rain on the "cliff fortress" of Town 19 and the preparation position behind it.

The firelight from the shooting turned half the sky red, and the gunpowder smoke enveloped the entire airship formation like a cloud.

"Ah ah ah" The officers and soldiers of the Revolutionary Army were all shocked beyond measure by this scene.

"This is an air cruiser," a regimental leader muttered to himself.

However, they were much stronger than the new army, and they quickly reacted and started doing what they should do.

"Du Da Da Du Da Da Da Du Du" the shrill charge horn sounded, and the soldiers of a regiment formed a skirmish line and launched a wave-like attack on the New Army position.

The revolutionary army's infantry tactics are a copy of the original time and space's signature infantry tactic "three-by-three wave attack", which far exceeds the tactics of the great powers of the same era.

Today's Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army has the world's most advanced squad and platoon tactics, the most rigorous and scientific training, and the most outstanding platoon and company-level officers and non-commissioned officers.

If you only reach the company level, the officers of the Revolutionary Army are definitely the best in the world, bar none.

But when you reach the battalion and regiment level officers, you can only be considered qualified.

As for officers at division level or above, they are blind.

There was nothing Wen Desi could do about this.

After all, the relevant military knowledge above the division level was too professional and could not be learned in ordinary military schools or even higher military academies.

It could not even be found in general databases.

No matter how awesome Xingke is, it is just a mining and metallurgical company.

How can there be such a thing in the database?

However, with advanced equipment, rigorous training, state-of-the-art squad tactics, and excellent grassroots officers and non-commissioned officers, senior officers of the Revolutionary Army, such as Comrade Zhuang Jiaxiong, the current interim commander of the third division, have little to think about.

Just go over with a.

It is a complete crushing of an army like ours in the Qing Dynasty, whether it is the new army or the old army.

After 2 hours, the battle ended.

There were more than 10,830 officers and soldiers of the Army's 19th Town participating in the battle, 1,256 of whom were killed, and more than 340 of whom were missing or fled.

The rest, 9,234 of whom were under the command of Cui Xiangkui, were captured, including 3,160 who were lightly or seriously injured.

They also seized 24 artillery pieces, 28 heavy machine guns, more than 5,000 rifles, and some other baggage.

The revolutionary army suffered 67 casualties, 33 serious injuries, and 184 minor injuries.

Since then, the Yunnan New Army has been completely wiped out, and there is no longer any large-scale resistance on the road to Kunming.

There are only a few patrol battalions left in the Qing armed forces in Yunnan.

Theoretically, there are six town general troops in Yunnan Province, namely Kaihua Town, Linyuan Town, Heli Town, Zhaotong Town, Tengyue Town and Pu'er Town, with a total of more than 30,000 people.

However, in this era, these troops have long been Degraded into "police" or "security", their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of a patrol battalion.

The most critical thing is that their manpower is distributed to thousands of ponds, cards, and passes, with 3 to 10 soldiers stationed at each point, or more than 10 soldiers.

Even at the general headquarters, there are no more than 300 soldiers.

In other words, they couldn't organize themselves at all.

Neijiang, the headquarters of the Party of Science and Technology and the headquarters of Xingke Group.

"It is simply unreasonable to attack a Yunnan New Army.

I lost 4 pilots and 2 were seriously injured.

Okay, I went to die with the enemy.

What a brave bastard.

The pilots I spent so much effort to train didn't let them go."

When someone fucks a bomb" The news of the annihilation of the 19th Town and the liberation of Kunming did not make Wen Desi happy.

Instead, he became angry: "There are still those who want to save the plane.

Since the plane that made the forced landing is no longer operational, why don't we abandon the plane and parachute?"

It only takes 400 man-hours to build an airplane, and the cost is less than 500 yuan, while training a qualified pilot takes at least 20 years and costs at least 100,000 yuan from birth to training."

Air Force Commander Colonel Meng Shu, Air Force Political Commissar Colonel Tian Shixiong, Air Force Deputy Commander Major Li Mishi and other Air Force bosses bowed their heads and accepted the training.

Because the Chicken Street air raid was the largest loss since the establishment of the Air Force.

Best of all, most of these losses were completely avoidable but were lost because of human factors.

If it was lost in battle, Wen Desi would not be so angry.

But he cannot tolerate the losses caused by some subjective mistakes such as personal heroism.

What a waste if everyone is like this.

Mr.

Wen had a fit before letting these guys leave: "From now on, the Air Force must strengthen institutional education and put personnel safety first.

Cherishing equipment does not mean that equipment is more important than people.

Okay, You guys go down” Commander Meng Shu said bravely: "Mr.

Wen, the several aircraft we currently equip are not suitable for bombing, and they don't even have weapons."

Wen Desi nodded and said: "I understand.

The new equipment of the Air Force has been finalized and mass production has begun.

At the end of the month at most, you will have new aircraft for use.

Professional fighters, bombers, attack aircraft, and reconnaissance aircraft will all have them." , there will also be professional-grade armed airships.”

After the Air Force people went down, Gu Xiaolu asked: "Mr.

Wen, after we take over Yunnan and Guizhou, will we continue to attack Guangdong and Guangxi?

If so, it will be difficult for our manpower to coordinate."

"Don't worry, I plan to temporarily stop the offensive after taking Yunnan and Guizhou, and first eliminate the reactionary forces in the two provinces.

There are many extremist religious forces and stubborn reactionary forces in Yunnan and Guizhou.

These garbage must be carefully cleared away.

There is a shortage of people at the mining sites, huh?"

Wen Desi sneered.

"It will take about a month for us to suppress counterrevolutionaries in Yunnan and Guizhou, and it will take about a month and a half to mobilize personnel, supplies, etc.

Therefore, I decided to attack Guangdong and Guangxi in August.

We must get to the seaport, Chen Huan and Cai E's side Is there any news?"

Mr.

Wen asked
