The next day, Bai Liyan went to the field hospital to inspect, Tianyun and Jinye fought intermittently, but the wounded were constantly sent to Yongping, because Yongping was stationed in the largest field hospital, and the medical treatment capacity of Yuke and Liang Jun was weak, so those who could not be dealt with could only be sent to Yongping.

Bailiyan could not refuse, so he could only send a truck to pull it, and after more than a month, Yongping had more than 40,000 casualties, both the casualties accumulated in the previous months and the wounded in the recent battle.

Most of the tens of thousands of wounded soldiers stationed in Yongping have not yet recovered, and the soldiers of the Xian army are still stranded in Yongping for recuperation, except for those who are disabled, and the rest are still in Yongping to recuperate, which has caused great logistical pressure on the Xian army. If you don't drag down the war in the long run, you will be dragged down by your own people.

Of course, the obvious loss can be eaten, but the hidden loss is categorically unrecognizable, Bailiyan successively transferred 600 second-, third-, and fourth-year surgical medical students from China to Yongping Field Hospital for internship, and a large number of corpses are suitable for training physicians.

In the following days, the enemy in the front of Liang County continued to carry out sporadic artillery bombardment of the Xian army's positions every day, and carried out harassment and sneak attacks at night.

However, on the ninth day of October, when the observation post set up by the Xian army on the hill on the left flank was observed with high-powered telescopes, it was found that a large number of new ships had been added to the temporary port of Wuniutan 70 miles away, and that reinforcements and supplies had arrived from the armpits, and that it would not be long before the enemy in Tianyun and Jinye would also be reinforced.

But two days later, Bailiyan's long-awaited airboat arrived in Yongping, and after replenishing the dye and loading the shells, Bailiyan organized the crew to repair and rush to Liang County to understand the enemy situation and prepare for the bombing.

Prior to this, the crew of the aircraft had been trained in the simulation of bomb dropping, but the effect had been very poor, so they could only reduce the amount of fuel and unnecessary load to increase the number of ammunition, and make up for the lack of accuracy by increasing the density and force of the air attack.

On 15 October, everything was ready, and after taking off, the airboat was lifted to 350 zhang and flew straight to the armpit grenade position.

The armpits did not expect humans to attack from the air, and they did not develop an aerial platform of their own, so they did not have specialized anti-aircraft weapons.

But they are equipped with a 15.5 caliber black powder machine heavy machine gun, which poses a great threat to the air, but after all, it is black powder, and its kinetic energy is far inferior to smokeless gunpowder and double-base powder, coupled with the effect of planetary gravity, its projectile is far from being able to cause damage to the airship of more than 300 zhang.

Despite this, Bailiyan's attitude was still very cautious, because Gaohu Village was on higher ground, and after the loss, it became the focus of armpit defense, and the heavy machine guns placed there could be used to catch empty boats.

In order not to arouse the alarm of the armpits, the airship flew from the 80-mile deep space south of Yongping City at dawn and dusk, and because of the huge noise of the engines, it could only start two engines, fly in the lowest gear, and fly to the air over the intended target at 37 o'clock in the morning and start dropping bombs.

The 125-millimeter shells flew down on the top of the armpit like hens laying eggs, and the sparks flew in all directions, and Lieutenant General Cross was eating, when he heard the explosion outside the camp, he shouted to his adjutant:

"Nord, where did the attack come from!"

"I don't know yet, but the shells have all fallen near our howitzers, maybe the foreign animals got the heavy artillery!"

"Can the heavy artillery of the alien beast strike at us out of our field of vision?"

Cross questioned, got up and walked out of the bunker, went to a nearby trench, got into the field fortifications, picked up a cartridge telescope, put it under the armpit of his right shoulder, and carefully observed the direction of the explosion, at which point he said:

"It's not quite right, Nord, have you spotted the alien artillery positions firing?"

"I didn't find that the artillery of the alien animals was shrunk out of the range of our artillery, and judging from the current situation, it should be that they have heavy artillery with a longer range than ours, if this is the case, the situation is not good."

"Go, immediately evacuate the attacked artillery positions, let the No. 2 concealed position open fire, strike at the fortress of the alien beasts, I want to see their reaction."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The attack range of an air boat is quite limited, and it can only bomb a single target settlement in a linear route, and cannot carry out carpet bombing on a large area of military targets as a whole.

In a short period of time, the concealed howitzer positions covered Liang County with firepower, except for blowing down some city walls and damaging some houses, the strike effect was very small, because in late August, Bailiyan had already evacuated the entire population and most of the military personnel in the north of Liang County, but in the underground from the south of the city to the north of the city to dig tunnels to facilitate the entry and exit of personnel, so the artillery fire was extremely limited in the killing and wounding of personnel.

At this time, Cross continued to hide in the surface fortifications to observe the reaction of the coalition forces, and at the same time, he also noticed the anomaly of this artillery attack, or most of the dwarven commanders, found the anomaly of this attack.

Cross found that these shells slowly smashed into the ground with a linear trajectory visible to the naked eye, and if it was a disemboweled shell, due to the high muzzle velocity, only in rare cases the projectile was reduced due to the weakening of kinetic energy, and it was easily visible to the naked eye.

But he clearly saw that the shells were like a line, smashing on his position, which obviously could not be the trajectory of a cannon fire, and he followed the line all the way to the "distance", but he soon found that he had to look up to keep tracking the trajectory of the shells, and then he realized that the shells seemed to be fired from the sky.

"What the hell...... Nord, Nord! ”

"What do you command?"

Cross looked at the unidentified object in the sky in astonishment, pointed to the sky in the distance and said:

"Do you see, there seems to be something in the sky, and the bomb is dropped from above."

"How is this possible!"

Shocked, Nord raised his binoculars and looked into the airspace in the direction Cross was pointing, but he could only vaguely see unrecognizable unidentified objects, which he didn't know what they were.

In fact, the reason is very simple, the pod of the airboat is painted with sky gray and sky blue, and the airbag shell of the airbag is made of light blue fabric, which has an excellent camouflage effect in most weather and is not easy to be found by the naked eye.

It's no wonder that Cross can't recognize what the sky is upside down, but he can confirm that it's a flying vehicle that can be used as a weapon.

"Damn, they actually have a device that can fly."

"Your Excellency, General, we can use a heavy machine gun and take it down!"

Nord proposed, but Cross shook his head and said:

"The alien animals in front of us are not the fools of the past, since they can fly above us and drop bombs, they will definitely fly in higher airspace, and our machine guns will not easily hit them."

"But how do you know if you don't try?"

"Alright then, mobilize heavy machine guns and shoot at the target."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The thinking logic of the armpit dwarven elite is faster than that of humans, and it immediately occurred to Cross that they did not have air supremacy weapons, and even if they did, with human science and technology, they would not develop a weapon that flew within the range of their weapons.

As Clos expected, the 15.5 millicaliber heavy machine gun was not only unable to reach the airboat, but more importantly, the target identified on the ground was only the size of a pistol, and it was constantly moving, so it could not be effectively fired.

The airboat laid eggs unscrupulously on the armpit position, and it exploded in a mess. Bai Liyan's first order to the captain was to bombard the visible howitzer positions, and after confirming that the hit effect was not good, give priority to bombing large targets, especially munitions stations where weapons and ammunition were stacked.

There are a lot of ammunition hoarded in these places, the targets are large, easy to identify, and more importantly, they cannot be quickly transferred, and only one bomb hits the entire munitions station.

Seeing the mess more than ten miles away, everyone in Jiang Jie's command post was quite relieved:

"It's really fucking relieving, after two months of cannons, it's finally their turn to see how powerful we are!"

Zhou Deyan said indignantly, Jiang Jie was very calm on the side, he said:

"It's a pity that the accuracy of the hit is too poor, if there are ten or twenty ships, maybe there will be some gains."

At this time, Zhao Huan answered:

"If the accuracy is not good, why not make a better one."

Baili Yao smiled lightly when he heard the news, and was able to say:

"General Zhao, don't worry, within ten years, there will be more powerful flying weapons, and at that time, hundreds of thousands of manufacturers and producers will bombard it indiscriminately from the air, and it will definitely fail."

The more powerful flying weapon in Bailiyan's mouth is not anything else, it can only be an early biplane propeller aircraft, and he obviously can't make any innovations, so he can only take the road taken by his predecessors to the side.

The only thing that is needed is the accumulation of experience and theoretical breakthroughs, and only by making technicians realize that high-efficiency internal combustion engines can be used in lighter and smaller flight vehicles to open the door to the aviation world.

Despite the help of Ranlan, the basic theoretical research and accumulation of experience still require civilization to work hard to complete the accumulation, and all that Ranlan can do is to optimize on this basis.

Of course, he can come up with more advanced ideas and technologies, but the premise is that you have to have this industrial base, scientific researchers and senior technicians to produce, and these require the accumulation of science and technology and industrial technology, and others cannot replace you to complete the road you should take.

Just as everyone was talking about it, there was a startling loud noise in the distance, and the crimson flames rose into the air with a terrifying roar, and everyone felt that they could not stand on their feet, and the dust falling from the logs on the roof of the fortification raised a haze that made people breathless. At this time, Jiang Jie shouted:

"It's munitions, it must be their munitions station that exploded."

At this time, Bai Liyan grasped the observation hole, followed the track to look at the center of the explosion, and the telescope could be seen in the rear more than 30 miles away A sea of fire, armpit soldiers rushed to flee for their lives, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

"It seems that yes, it blew up their arsenal!"

Before the words fell, Zhou Deyan interjected:

"At this time, if the whole line is attacked, it may be able to drive them out of ten miles."

"No, no." Bai Liyan vetoed Zhou Deyan's proposal, and then said: "The explosion occurred more than 30 miles away, but its forward position is only two to three miles away from me, and the changes in the rear are not enough to affect the deployment of its front-line troops, and its howitzer position still has an ammunition base, our army rashly launched a full-scale attack, even if it can recapture the position, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties."

The purpose of this bombing has been achieved, they have run out of ammunition, and it is impossible to carry out large-scale artillery bombardment of our troops and launch an attack on all fronts in a short time, and their thinking is completely different from ours, and they have suffered such a huge loss, and they may have to take revenge by other means, and they have ordered all armies and battalions to be ready for battle and not to slack off. ”

"No!"
