634 Aerial Fire Attack

After the transfer of naval aviation. The naval combat units began to adopt a targeted military strike plan against the Chu naval forces.

Zhang Han served as a mid-level combat staff officer of the Navy. Propose a specific battle plan.

The middle and lower rank officers of the Navy came from the Naval Academy. The top ranks are experienced officers transferred from the Army. Although it is a partial army transfer. But the naval combat mission is quite consistent.

Zhang Han first analyzed the favorable situation between the enemy and us. From the standpoint. The two sides entered a stalemate. The superiority of the Qin navy was on land and in the air. After the surface lost all surface ships. Not in possession of new advantages.

Shore defense artillery on land has been of great effectiveness. With the arrival of a large number of new types of artillery. As well as the laying of telephone lines, telegraph lines. A significant increase in the range of artillery. The Qin Navy and the Marine Corps built shore defense batteries on both sides of the Yangtze River. Basically blocked that section of water. Especially during the day. The actions of the Chu State Navy were basically effectively contained. The Chu navy no longer had free access to the waters of the Yangtze River.

But then. The navy of the state of Chu adopted the method of sneak attack at night. They quietly landed at night with small boats carrying soldiers with good water skills. Then sneak attack the shore anti-aircraft cannons of the Qin army. This special operation, similar to the frogman, played a certain combat effect.

They successfully attacked two Qin coastal defense batteries. But the other side also paid a heavy price. During a sneak attack on a Marine Corps artillery position, they stepped on a mine. This was followed by a blow from well-arranged machine-gun fire. Thirty-five people were killed. After that, naval shore defense artillery and marines increased their vigilance. A large number of warning mines have been laid. Sneak attacks are decreasing. But landing at night happens from time to time. They began to sneak up on the Qin Navy shipyard.

For containment. The Qin army had to use searchlights and flares with parachutes for focused protection at night. Under such specific protection measures. It was only then that the Qin army initially stabilized the situation.

However, this also taught Qin Jun a lesson. This was beneficial to the Qin Navy, which had no experience in water warfare.

Domestic attention to the situation in the South has been reported since the report. It has not been transferred. Especially when it comes to futures trading. Raw materials have forced South Korea's investment activities to begin to slow down. A large amount of silk came from the Chu State in the south. In particular, the import of non-ferrous metals such as copper. Under the pressure of domestic public opinion. The Navy wants to quickly resolve the current situation.

Artillery moves the battery. The intervention of road troops is required. In this case, the war may expand. The Navy was clearly informed above. Surface warfare cannot be extended to land. Then the Navy has only one card to play. That is the naval aviation units that have just been formed.

"The last time the trolls taught us a lesson. This time we went back. Zhang Han said to the staff officers.

The staff officers analyzed the current situation. The Chu naval forces occupy an absolute advantage in surface ships. They have more than a thousand ships of all kinds. In particular, there were 300 ships of various kinds within a hundred miles of the Qin State Naval Base.

But there is an absolute shortcoming of the Chu State Naval Army. This shortcoming is also the fatal flaw of all previous trolls. That is, the materials from which the ships are built are all wood. Last time, the Qin army was all burned because it was wooden. This directly led to a direct upgrade of the ship's materials by the Qin army.

Naval aviation will take advantage of its speed to carry out a mobile sneak attack. Naval aviation carried out non-stop photographic reconnaissance of the docks where the Chu State Navy was moored. Navy staff officers are mapping out all the dock information. Then make a specific combat map. This was followed by a new battle plan.

The combat radius of twin-engine fighters equipped with naval aviation is exactly enough to cover this area. This was made possible by the improvement of the gasoline process in the Qin State. The use of leaded gasoline improves the combustion effect of gasoline. The power has increased a lot. Furthermore. The rapid increase in the number of engine cylinders is also an important reason.

Twin-engine fighters have strong survivability. After the loss of one engine. You can barely get back to base with another one.

The carrying capacity of the fighter also underwent a minor upgrade. The application of air-cooled machine guns freed up a lot of space for the aircraft. Aviation units can have more payload for refueling and ammunition.

In terms of ammunition, a new type of incendiary cartridge was developed. This cartridge has some ignition material added to the warhead section. In this way, the effect of an incendiary bomb was achieved. This type of ammunition is particularly effective against the use of wood. This ammunition was originally intended for the Eastern Front to attack the grain and grass gathering places of the Qi army. But the Navy is going to attack the surface ships of the opposing side. Priority will be given. Furthermore. The aerial bomb was also replaced with the original ordinary model. Use a large number of white phosphorus bombs.

In addition, a napalm weighing only one stone will be put into service. This petrol bomb did not use rubber and thermite. Instead, orange water is used to freeze and solidify.

This napalm was discovered quite by accident in a state. However, the Qin State had a history of extensive use of napalm before that. This petrol bomb is extremely powerful. In particular, active metal sodium is added. In this way, even if it goes into the water. It will still burn. It's powerful. In order to end the war as soon as possible. The Qin State can be said to have used all the weapons and equipment that can be used.

Judging by the experience of war. Naval aviation's entry onto the stage of history requires a certain rise in technology. But now the conditions have changed a lot.

The opponents of naval aviation on the stage of history were large steel ships. But now their opponents are much lower on the technical level. Wooden hulls are easier to attack than steel hulls. Especially fire attack.

Although the aviation has a limited amount of ammunition. But it can carry more powerful incendiary bombs. This poses a great threat to wooden hulls.

These two factors directly put naval aviation on the stage of history. The lack of surface ships of the Qin Navy directly prompted naval aviation to enter the stage of history.

The intervention of naval aviation will temporarily compensate for the lack of surface ships of the Qin army. Naval aviation will temporarily play an effective role in taking the initiative to attack the Chu State Naval Army.

But naval aviation still did not board surface ships. And strictly speaking. Naval aviation is only land-based aviation units. After the aviation carrier-based. in order to be considered the formal independence of naval aviation. Otherwise. Naval aviation is still in an awkward situation. But the Navy is just getting started. And war is an effective catalyst. Although it is land-based. But sooner or later one day will be on board surface ships.

The Qin Navy is carrying out a detailed battle plan by integrating all factors. The dock became a burial ground for the concentrated destruction of the adversary's surface forces.
