Chapter 541: Let's Ride a Horse Without Gas!
Zhao Yiyi reported the Homeland Security Service's interrogation of the spy Osside to Lu Xiangyang, who had entered the airspace of the future South Africa on a C-17 transport plane, and expressed concern about the meager anti-tank firepower they carried.
However, Lu Xiangyang expressed optimism about the news that this opium cow may install diesel engines on subsequent tanks, and he knows that actual combat is the baton that leads the military industry research and development, and it is impossible for the British army to load tanks with diesel engines on a large scale before their tanks suffer big losses, so as to increase the output power and increase the thickness of the armor or strengthen the firepower.
To put it simply, these monkey versions of "Vickers" were originally sent to South Africa to abuse the Boers with extremely poor equipment, and no matter how big the brains of the British, they never expected that there would be an unlucky "director team" who directly sent the traversers to South Africa!
When the imaginary abuse situation does not become the actual abused situation, who will pay for the upgraded technology tree of weapons and equipment? Even if it is to prepare in advance for the so-called Great Song Dynasty people in the future, it is unlikely that these monkey versions of "Vickers" designed to abuse vegetables will be equipped with diesel engines and armor in the near future!
Lu Xiangyang was more worried about the lack of air defense weapons in their hands, the ammunition of the 23mm twin anti-aircraft gun in the hands of the airport militia had almost bottomed out, plus the mobility of the thing without the base of the pickup truck was almost zero, and those gunners had not used this 23mm anti-aircraft gun to hit high-speed moving objects in the sky at all, and it was better to rely on it for air defense than to count on those 12.7mm machine guns!
You must know that the British's aircraft manufacturing technology is not a copycat, it is a serious follow the crossing of the learned, even if it is all the way to the dead end of the reconnaissance plane, but it is still very easy to add a little bit of weapons to these so-called reconnaissance planes to add to the crossing crowd.
To put it mildly, even if the opium cow pilots only drop grenades from those old planes, you especially have to defend yourself, grenades can kill people!
On this C-17, the traversal brought some "Stinger" individual anti-aircraft missiles that Mia gave to Zhang Yulin Yue in the post-apocalyptic scene of New York, but in the many tests in the green paint area, the infrared guidance system of this thing was very magical when capturing the "Daystar" series of aircraft produced by the traversal itself.
Due to the low power of the aircraft engine produced by the public, the infrared light emitted by its heat source is difficult to be detected by the infrared guidance system of the "Stinger", which was originally designed to capture the heat source of modern aircraft engines.
Although the missile was only locked and not launched in the test, Lu Xiangyang had a hunch that even if he pressed the launch button, most of the dog's days would be to learn from Maozi's "Sam 7" back then, and it was estimated that it would fly straight to the sun.
Now Lu Xiangyang can only hope that the British aircraft engines will dissipate much worse heat than the star-shaped engines produced by the Crossing People, and then the "Stinger" can more easily capture their infrared signals.
"Phew, boy, are you ready? Let's learn from my brother, the wood has an air tube, the wood has a radar, we have to land! The captain of the C-17 said to Zhang Yu.
On the ground, a group of militiamen were pushing the Warthog attack plane farther away from the runway, and it was clear that Yang Xiaochen had landed at the airport not long ago.
Although Zhang Yu was very unimpressed by the C-17 captain's pretending aura like Tian Buzi, he had to admit that the landing technique that the C-17, which claimed to not know how to smash how many "director crews", had only learned, could indeed be described as exquisite.
The British had hardened the airport's muddy runway, but when the C-17 swooped down and taxied down the runway, it kicked up a huge yellow soot.
Before the smoke and dust had completely cleared from C-17's stoppage, a group of well-dressed soldiers walked out of the open rear hatch, and the dust masks that covered their faces were really different, checkered, skull patterns, and rogue rabbits and other cards, all of which looked like Eagle Sauce Soldiers.
Jin Wen saw from a distance that a lieutenant without a mask was giving a briefing to these American-equipped soldiers, and he immediately recognized this person as the commander of the mountain unit that had saved his squad in the dome light curtain during his rookie days.
"Whew, I finally saw my relatives, I always feel a chill in my back when those militiamen shoot me in the back!" A scout of the 101st Airborne Division said.
"Well, it's really a relative, that lieutenant once saved me in the dome light curtain!" Jin Wen said.
"I'm rubbing, elite, this time it's stable! Steady! Steady! Another rough embryo of the 101st Division chimed in.
"I'm curious that they didn't even have a Humvee, is this the rhythm of those ground crews who are going to walk to save me?" After Yang Xiaochen landed, of course, he was mixed with those rough embryos of the 101st Division.
As in the case of the D-day Green Paint Zone, as soon as the British offensive retreated, the crossers on the airfield began to sort themselves into groups.
People with the same training and combat backgrounds naturally come together to form small groups of interest. This is also the reason why Lu Xiangyang recommended himself to come to South Africa as the leader, and it is really difficult to deal with such a problem if someone else comes.
"Sir, I finally met you, I really responded to your words, and we will meet again!" Jin Wen gave Lu Xiangyang a standard U.S. military salute.
"This is a war zone, pay attention next time!" Lu Xiangyang hesitated for a moment, but still gave his old man a military salute.
It is relatively rare to encounter non-clones who are not his own combat units in the light curtain of the dome, and Lu Xiangyang didn't have much effort to remember that this person was the rookie artillery he had saved and had no time to transfer after the cannon.
"You are Jiang Yuan, you withdraw some of the wounded and overtired front-line personnel back to rest, and I will send someone to go up." Lu Xiangyang didn't have the time to be polite, and immediately rescued and took over the command of the airport.
"About 20 people were evacuated, and some of the new brothers are not used to taking a long-distance flight on a transport plane, and they still need time to adjust. Well, I still have to free up manpower to rescue the ground crew who are trapped outside. Lu Xiangyang continued.
"Sir, we only have an M1078 truck here, and we don't have much diesel fuel in our hands." Jin Wen said to Lu Xiangyang.
It was precisely because of the lack of transportation and fuel that the hot-blooded rough embryos of the 101st Airborne Division did not rescue those ground crews trapped outside under Yang Xiaochen's roar.
"Let the Boers gather us some horses, and we'll ride them!" Lu Xiangyang said.
As early as when the people were in the Liaodong Peninsula and the Manchurian people and the foot basin chickens were in a pot of porridge, Lu Xiangyang had the idea of forming a cavalry.
And the imaginary Great Song Empire of the Crossing People, is it because Li Sihu, a rough embryo, was taken away by Lu Xiangyang at that time that he wanted to use the horses for cooking that he casually talked nonsense with war reporters, and there was a little bit of anger for not being able to eat delicious food.
After that, LĂź Xiangyang had been paying attention to collecting military horses and letting his mountain infantry learn riding skills in their spare time from combat.
In order to let these rough embryos who were still responsible for arduous combat tasks at that time cooperate with his ideas, Lu Xiangyang did not work hard, and it was really coaxing and deception and threats that made these monkey cubs learn to ride horses.
The green paint area has always had the fuel supply of the "director team" and the supplement of various parts, and many people regard Lu Xiangyang's move as redundant, no matter how awesome the military horses are, can they still compete with modern cars and helicopters?
Lu Xiangyang, who always likes to take precautions, has been guarding day and night for two years, and finally encountered the pit arranged by the "director team", if there are really not so many people who can ride horses, just rely on those Boers who can only fight with the wind at present, don't think about going out of the airport to fish for people!
