660 danger is coming!
At a time when the Qin State was debating the two issues of fees and taxes. The Qi Air Force on the Eastern Front had a new move.
"How many beans do you want for this guest officer?" A person from the Qi State dressed in ordinary clothes asked a bean seller at the market in the area controlled by the Yan State.
"It's almost noon. I still have eleven buckets here. Do you want it? The bean seller said.
"Oh. That's fine. Let's come to Eleven. Then the two began to buy beans and sell beans. This scene is actually quite common. But there's a huge number hidden in it.
This bazaar is close to the temporary airfield of the Qin State. The pilots of the Qin State were well paid. Naturally, these salaries will have to be well spent. Moreover, the things in the area controlled by the Yan State were much cheaper than those of the Qin State. After all, a lot of things are still handmade. And these handicrafts have been seen less often in the Qin State. During the large-scale machine production of the Qin State, the original manual production was completely put into the museum. These handicrafts could not be seen in the Qin State, but they could be seen in the area controlled by the Yan State. Naturally, it became Qin Jun's collection.
However, the Qi Air Force had already targeted the Qin Heavenly Army. Then targeted espionage began to become frequent. And this, the Qin Heavenly Army actually knew nothing. The number of planes parked at Qin's three airfields varies greatly each day, as the range of aircraft patrols and encounters with opposing airships are always changing. This invisibly increased the difficulty of the air raid by the Qi people. If all three airfields were to be attacked, a large amount of air power would be required to attack. And the amount of accurate information in it is also very important. As long as one or two planes stay in the air. The threat will be enormous.
Eleven buckets represent that there are eleven planes at the airport today, and the exact number of these planes still needs to be determined. But this is only the tip of the iceberg of Qi's espionage activities. Qin's logistical activities originally relied on the Qin army itself. But there are not many roads to go between Qi-controlled areas and South Korea. This also means that Qin's logistical supply is relatively tight. Especially when it comes to large-scale reloading of ammunition.
The Qin army's fighter jets are replacing their original air-cooled sheet machine guns. In its place was a lighter, air-cooled tube machine gun that could be mounted directly on the nose of the aircraft, with no engine interference. It is important that the machine guns can be installed in parallel in order to increase firepower. Aircraft can be fired with a direct attack instead of flying and using a machine gun from behind.
This news was naturally grasped by the Qi army through a spy network. Most importantly, Qi Jun made effective use of this convenient information. The Qin army began to outsource a lot of logistics to the Qi people. It's a bit too undeserved. Especially the cooks. That is, the war chef, from the Qi country. The reason was simply that the Qin pilots were tired of eating canned food. They need to try the local specialties. The pilot also praised it for this. As everyone knows, the people of Qi know more about the Qin army.
According to the above situation, the people of Qi quickly knew every move of the Qin army. The Qin army currently maintains the size of three squadrons and thirty-four combat aircraft on the Qi front. Two planes returned to Qin for repairs due to engine problems. But the three squadrons were spread across three different airfields, and their numbers varied greatly from day to day. These three airports are Shangtou Airport. Nanri Airport. and Dongliu Airport. Three airfields were located at a distance of seventy to eighty miles from the front line. Infantry cannot be used at this distance.
Of course, the Qi army also thought of using guerrillas. But the situation with the partisans was worse. In addition, the perimeter of the airport is very tightly guarded. A battalion of the Qin Marine Corps, three companies and a machine gun company directly under the command of the three marines were escorted around the three airfields. There is also a large number of dense barbed wire, mines around the airport. Alert. At night, there are also lighting facilities to illuminate the surroundings, according to the situation of the guerrillas. They could only make a detour through Korea by smuggling, and Wei received a part of the supply of weapons and ammunition, that is. All they had was firearms. Explosives, especially large quantities of black powder, were still scarce.
However, the Qi army quickly adjusted its specific tactics. The Qi army asked the guerrillas to use bonfires to guide the airships on the ground on the night of the air raid. Then, five bonfires are lined up in an arrow to indicate the direction of the airship in the air.
And the Qi Air Force is also conducting night air raid training. They will make a flight in the air at eight hundred paces. After crossing the front line, it will quickly descend to an altitude of 500 paces, which is an altitude at which it can clearly see the target on the ground.
At the same time, in order to better form at night. The Qi Air Force specially imported a batch of flashlights. This batch of flashlights will be used for the first time on the airships of the Qi Air Force. The airbags of the airship are also specially equipped with some glass mirrors. The reflection of these glass mirrors is used to maintain a certain flight distance. The pilots of the air raid have a hundred hours of mature pilots to complete.
The Qi Air Force is making intense preparations. The Qin army did not know anything about this, and the air force of the Qi State specifically avoided the attack range of the combat aircraft of the Qin State Celestial Army, and turned to attack other areas. The Qin army also adopted countermeasures. That is, to build the fourth, the fifth airfield. Take advantage of the flexible sessions between airports to liquidate and combat opponents. The situation was quickly caught by espionage.
The news came from the change in chef logistics and the construction of the airport. The Qi army must act quickly to carry out air strikes. Otherwise, the longer it drags on. The more unfavorable it is to Qi Army. Because at that time, the air combat forces of the Qin army will be more and more dispersed. The difficulty of airship strikes will be greatly increased.
A squadron of the Qin army was often very scattered. There was always one squadron of three squadrons, and the three squadrons were broken up and sent to other areas for support, while the remaining one was kept on alert and readiness. This arrangement maximized the presence of the Qin army in the air. But against the side of the air raid could not carry it out.
But this problem was finally solved by Qi Jun. That is night air raids. The aircraft equipped by the Qin army are not all-weather fighters, and in fact, the Qin army has certain instances of night battles but has not developed all-weather fighters, especially night fighters. It is important to know that technical limitations are difficult to overcome. The same is true for night flights, and the Qin army needs to find a suitable technology that can solve this problem. But it was precisely this that allowed the Qi army to fully grasp the weakness. Night air raids have become a top-secret tactic for the Qi Air Force. Night battles will be staged in aerial battles.
