643 Liaison Aircraft
The arrangement of machine guns tended to form a dense crossfire. The overlapping part of the two machine guns will be hit by two hundred bullets.
"Kata", a paratrooper, very calmly rotated the bolt and pulled out the bullet casing. Then fill the next bullet. The design without a magazine makes their rate of fire inadequate. But they were only a cover auxiliary force for machine guns.
The Wusun cavalry was already in disarray. Plus intensive strafing from machine guns. Soon the weary army was scattered. Dead to death. Runaway, run.
Only a large number of wounded soldiers and corpses of the Wusun people lying on the ground remained on the battlefield. Some of the horses stood still.
"Bayonets in a row." Li Zuoche ordered. Facing an army of thousands of people. A company of 100 men showed no fear. The battle lasted only fifteen minutes. Within fifteen minutes. The machine gun ran out of ammunition from three ammunition boxes. In the Western Regions, two types of ammunition boxes were delivered. Iron and wooden. Iron ammunition boxes were delivered later. The wooden ones are the ammunition that had been hoarded in large quantities. Both ammunition boxes are large ammunition boxes with a capacity of 250 rounds. The machine gunner was busy changing the water in the tank. The water-cooled Heavy is a chore. They had to carry not only bulky machine guns. Even water can't be drunk too much. Machine guns are a big draft. They had to keep a lot of water for the machine guns to cool down. And not only machine gunners. The rest of the water discharged is also strictly controlled. In particular, each person carried two extra hydration bags. However, at this time, there was a small invention that was still in the initial stage of use. That's the water bladder. These early water bladders, which were fitted in leather hydration bags, were used by machine gunners to carry on their backs. Straddling the waist increases the strength of the waist. Especially the desert Gobi terrain. But this back-to-back method of use not only solves the problem of carrying water. In addition, it has a cooling effect. But because it is a relationship between the cortex and the breathability. It often causes skin diseases to occur.
A platoon quickly loaded bayonets and marched in stragglers. As the war progressed. The Zhao army developed their skirmish formation. As the search advances. They usually maintain a simple triangular formation. This triangular formation is formed by a small triangle formed by a group of three soldiers. Three soldiers cover each other. Form a preliminary small unit. This skirmish formation usually reacts quickly to a sudden attack by the enemy. Firepower can sustain a steady retreat or stabilize the situation.
The formation of a row of forward exits was within the range of machine-gun fire. They continued to kill the Wusun people with bayonets who did not die. The bayonet used by Zhao Jun was not a three-edged bayonet. Rather, an ordinary flat bayonet.
Such bayonets were manufactured inexpensively. In addition, the Qin army deliberately allocated basic weapons to the Zhao army. So this bayonet was heavily equipped to Zhao Jun. But this bayonet was deliberately lengthened by Zhao Jun. The increased length means that the chance of assassination increases.
"Buzz" a single-engine light Bee liaison plane flew over the heads of the paratroopers. The liaison plane flew overhead and then turned around. There was only one pilot on board. The pilot flapped his wings and signaled to the paratroopers on the ground. The paratroopers waved their weapons. Military hats, flags shouted to celebrate.
The liaison plane then looked for a flat ground to land. The pilot stepped off the plane and asked Li Zuoche about the specific situation.
"How many enemies did you encounter?" The pilot asked after saluting. Both sides have the same rank. The pilot was a captain. Li Zuoche is also a captain. Both sides saluted together as a sign of respect. The Qin State Pilot Captain was a higher-ranking pilot. Usually they have more than seven hundred hours of flight time. Zhao Jun automatically promoted a large number of officers after taking Loulan. In particular, an officer like Xiang Li Zuoche, who had studied at the Qin State Military Academy, was directly promoted to the position of the company's military commander.
"We can't wipe out the enemy. The dead are there. The living are running on four legs. Li Zuoche introduced. The territory of the war was very vast. Plus it's infantry versus cavalry again. The Allied superiority in firepower was extremely obvious. But the mobility of the infantry could not compensate. Especially this kind of open terrain. The Allies can only maximize the frontal superior firepower to give the opponent maximum damage. Then the other side collapsed and retreated.
The lack of effective maneuvering forces will significantly weaken the existence of a superiority in firepower. Faced with such a situation. Allied infantry units could only fight routs, not large-scale encirclement battles like the Central Plains War.
After the pilot understood the situation, he then took off and flew back to the temporary base of the front. The short take-off is one of the biggest advantages of this aircraft. This liaison aircraft, nicknamed "Bee", is the latest aircraft of the Qin Heavenly Army. The aircraft features a change from the previously unacceptable upper wing design. Perhaps it was because of this advanced design that he was abandoned by the Heavenly Army. Because he was contrary to the design of the usual aircraft.
Airplanes of this period usually had two layers of flying wings. Even more reached three or four floors. This design can effectively increase the lift of the aircraft. But the advantage in terms of speed is not very obvious. The designers believed that it was a problem with engine power.
But this aircraft was favored by the Army Air Corps. The main reason is that a large number of airships are grounded. The Army Air Corps dramatically expanded their flying force force. Due to the fact that a large number of aircraft were monopolized by the Space Army. The Celestial Forces have the right of first refusal. The abandonment of this aircraft was soon applied in the Army Air Corps.
Tires made of new high-density foam materials, plus the use of hydraulics. This gives the aircraft excellent landingability. Most importantly. Due to the upper single-wing design. Then the wings of the aircraft are made even thicker. This thickness brings a certain amount of space. The designers made efficient use of this space, and for the first time, the wing fuel tank was used. The aircraft also uses a lot of aluminum. In this way, the aircraft tends to be reasonable in terms of airflow. Although some parts are still made of wood. However, it provides transitional empirical information for the later use of aluminum. Of particular importance is the use of aluminum and the influence of airflow technology that is beginning to become a new frontier in aircraft development.
However, the idea of an Army Air Corps liaison aircraft is also one of the important reasons for the use of this new aircraft. The combat area is vast. It is impossible for the troops to drag a long cable line forward. The Army is no longer able to know the location of its troops in the first place. Military commanders often take the place of the chief of staff. Military commanders command the first line. But the problem remains unresolved.
The speed of the communication corps is very slow compared to the battle situation. Radio technology was first applied to civilian use in the Qin state. The excellent short take-off and landing of the Bee aircraft enabled the army staff to devise an air liaison system based on the air force. The idea was quickly put to use.
The Bee liaison became the Army's first liaison aircraft.
