Chapter 398: The Great Lawn Mower in Attack
On the night they entered the Xintian clinic in the British Concession, the Navy SEALs led by An Yanxin left the three-story building through a secret passage. With the assistance of Huo Yuanjia, these SEAL members all put on fake braids and disguised themselves as businessmen who entered Beijing to do business, and as soon as the city gate was opened at dawn, they headed for Beiping.
Along the way, the Qing army's customs defense was very sparse, and An Yanxin and they followed a caravan to the capital to transport northern goods basically did not encounter any investigation. At this time, Guangxu and Cixi both deliberately wanted to cut off the financial route of the "pseudo-Song Dynasty" to sell northern goods in the Guannai, and the merchants who did not have any way did not dare to transport these things to the capital.
The Qing army's lax defense was also expected by An Yanxin, and there were no large anti-Qing forces in the pass, although this "pseudo-Song" made a lot of trouble, but for the Manchurians, it was also a matter far outside the pass. As for the exchange of suspicion between the Tianjin Wei and Mao Zi of the Military Intelligence Department, the Manchu people even thought that the "Pseudo-Song Dynasty" had the courage to make waves there because of the protection of Yingyi, and that the "Pseudo-Song" would not dare to make trouble again after leaving the British Concession.
An Yanxin and they followed this caravan with a backstage, and they smoothly entered Beiping City with equipment. An Yanxin was dumbfounded when he entered Beiping City, he didn't know the way! An Yanxin is really a native of Beiping, but the Beiping where he lived when he was a child is Beiping where the city wall has been demolished, and the Beiping City at the end of the nineteenth century in front of him makes him unable to find a trace of familiarity.
Before coming here, An Yanxin thought that with his familiarity with the modern Beiping City, where many ancient buildings were preserved, and a map obtained by the Military Intelligence Department, he should soon be able to find the mansions of those Manchu officials on the blacklist.
However, the map in his hand, which looked more like an ancient calligraphy and painting, could only serve the purpose of pointing in a general direction, and it was even more outrageous to know the way here with his familiarity with Beiping in the 21st century. These buildings are far brighter than a hundred years later, and they are not at all recognizable by Anyanxin's database.
"I'm rubbing, I can't even recognize the place, this thing is a little difficult!" An Yanxin whispered.
"What then? Why don't you ask someone about it? A Navy SEAL said.
"Don't, let's just ask a businessman about the mansion of the imperial court on the street, isn't this suspicious, but we still have to think about it in the long run. Let's talk back to my family to explain the situation, and postpone the air raid plan a little. An Yanxin said.
As a result, An Yanxin took them two more days for their own safety to confirm the locations of the mansions of those Manchu dignitaries on the blacklist one by one. This is not because An Yanxin is inefficient, but because of the characteristics of the capital in this era. The mansions of the Manchu dignitaries were almost entirely inhabited by wealthy families, and it was not easy for them to find a place to hide and provide ground guidance for the air raids.
In the end, An Yanxin had to adopt the stupid methods of the robbers in the Hong Kong drama, directly broke into the nearby family with fewer people, entered the house, controlled the household, and set up guidance equipment, which can be regarded as completing the preparations before the air raid.
According to the plan, once the AC-130U launched an air attack on these targets, the ground guidance personnel immediately withdrew from the capital overnight. If these kidnapped households did not want to be implicated, they would definitely not report to the police.
When An Yanxin had everything arranged, he asked an American reporter to inform the Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen of the imminent attack on the old witch's stage and the mansion of the Manchu dignitaries.
At the same time, Rong Lu also received instructions from the indigenous agents of the Military Intelligence Department who contacted him in a single line, and it was important for Cixi to pay attention to the night guard work of the Grand Theater of the Summer Palace. What does that mean? Isn't that a disservice to me? Send more people to add more lights, why did you blow up the Galeries Lafayette theater? Although this Summer Palace is on the outskirts of Beijing, it is impossible for you to set up a cannon to bomb it, right? Rong Lu couldn't figure out for a while which one the Great Song people were making trouble.
No matter, anyway, I won't suffer if I strengthen my vigilance, if it can't be blown up, it's the Song people's own business. If it really blows up Lafayette's stage, then I have already made it clear that I must strengthen my precautions, which is a loyal and commendable thing to Lafayette, Rong Lu thought to himself.
"The big lawn mower number one has been checked, everything is normal, please take off." Zhang Yu said to the tower over the radio.
"Permission to take off." The tower replied.
The tower at the Greenpaint Airport is probably the quietest tower in the world, and even if all the flying planes take off and land at the same time, the staff on the tower will only have to deal with four planes.
The runway, which had been repaired again, was long enough for Zhang Yu to easily drive the AC-130U, which was carrying thousands of shells, off the ground. After the "big lawn mower" took off, it was Lin Yue, who was also a navigator, who was busy.
Without the help of the Global Positioning System, Lin Yue had to use the "ancient" method to ensure that the AC-130U flew accurately in the direction of Beiping. Well, the ancient two words here need to be put in quotation marks, after all, the navigation method called "dead reckoning" used by Lin Yue is not known how many grades higher than the "visual positioning" given to the British by the professors.
The so-called "dead reckoning" is to estimate the position of the aircraft at that time based on the known position of the aircraft at the previous moment and the measured navigation parameters. For example, according to the measured real airspeed and the heading of the aircraft, the ground speed is calculated by using the navigation speed triangle (see flight speed, instrument navigation) under the condition of given wind speed and wind direction, and then the ground speed is integrated into the time, and the position of the aircraft at that time can be obtained by substituting the starting condition - the position at the previous time. This means that the AC-130U will fly together, and Lin Yue will start working on the map.
Of course, the AC-130U, a big guy with a cost of more than 100 million yuan, does not need to use manual calculation of the dead position, and the Doppler radar equipped with the aircraft can directly measure the ground speed and yaw angle, and automatically get the position of the aircraft through integration. What Lin Yue had to do was to mark the location of each dead in the time period on the map to ensure that the "big lawn mower" was flying towards Beiping.
"This is Big Lawn Mower One, call Daredevil One, please answer if you receive it." When Lin Yue calculated that the AC-130U had entered the communication range of An Yanxin's radio station, he began to call them.
"This is Daredevil One, please tell me." An Yanxin responded to the call of the AC-130U crew.
"ETA40minutes!" The AC-130U crew first informed An Yanxin of its approximate location.
"Roger/that." An Yanxin heard the AC-130U's announcement from the headset and used gestures to relay the message to his teammates.
Now what the Navy SEALs have to do is wait for the large lawn mower to arrive over Beiping and mark the location of the target with the infrared command guidance beam in order, and the TV/infrared detector operator on the AC-130U can find the location of the air attack target through the AAQ-117 forward-looking infrared camera and the fully active low-light night vision camera. The rest was done by the 25mm GAU-12 cannon, and the 3,000 rounds of ammunition it allocated would teach the Manchu dignitaries on the ground how to behave.
