Chapter 297: Air Combat (1)

In this large-scale bombing of the Japanese kingdom by airships, Hu Zhen issued an order, with the commander-in-chief of the air force, Major General Du Ligao, as the commander-in-chief, commanding a huge lineup of 2,000 airships to rush to the Tokyo Bay of the Japanese kingdom in a hidden way, and the first stop was to bomb Tokyo, the center of the Japanese state.

In the endless cluster of airships of the Chinese Army, one airship is different from other airships, in addition to the six long antennas extending from the gondola to the top of the airship, there are also two huge telescopes in the gondola, which is the chief command boat of the airship group.

Major General Du Ligao was sitting in the command room at the moment, looking out with a telescope, and listening to the various units report their arrival positions one after another on the audio radio station:

"Report, the 1st Air Force Division has entered the predetermined position at 35°41 north latitude and 139 ° 44 east longitude and is on standby!"

"Report that the 2nd Air Force Division has advanced to the position of 35°40 north latitude and 139°43 east longitude, and is ready to attack Tokyo at any time!"

"Report that the 3rd Air Force Division has advanced to a position of 35°40 north latitude and 139°45 east longitude, and is ready to be immediately engaged in bombing operations!"

"It is reported that the 4th Division of the Air Force has advanced to the position of 35°39 north latitude and 139 ° 44 east longitude."

"Report, the 5th Division of the Air Force has advanced to ......"

"Good!" Du Ligao shouted, put down the binoculars, and turned around to see that a young staff officer had planted the small red flags marking each unit in the corresponding position on the map, he looked at it for a while, looked up and said to Colonel Gao Xiang, chief of staff of the Air Force: "We will not be able to start the operation until the airship troops of the Japanese State are dispatched!" ”

Gao Xiang raised his head and said, "According to the intelligence of the Ministry of Intelligence, this is the central location of the base camp of the Japanese Kingdom, and their little airship troops must be deployed here!" ”

Du Ligao sneered and said: "I hope the intelligence is not wrong, and we will destroy the airship troops of the Japanese Kingdom in one battle!" ”

Gao Xiang seemed to be very confident: "Chen Zichao, that guy, plays yin every day, and the budget spent is not much less than that of our Air Force, and the intelligence will not be wrong!" ”

Really. As soon as Gao Xiang's words fell, a reconnaissance airship came with a report: "More than 100 airships of the Japanese country have been found to have taken off into the sky, and more than 100 airships of the Japanese country have been found to have taken off into the sky!" ”

Gao Xiang nodded and said, "According to the intelligence, the Japanese Kingdom has bought more than 100 miscellaneous airships from France, Germany, and England in Europe. It should all be here in Tokyo! ”

"Great, order the combat airships of the 1st Air Force Division to rush over immediately and shoot down all the airships of the Japanese Kingdom to me!"

This command was immediately radioed to the group of combat airships on the front line.

At this moment, the commander of the Japanese airship, Heiichi Yamada, personally took an airship produced in France and commanded more than 100 airships to take off to block the attack of the Huaxia Army's airship group.

The airships of the Japanese state were all stimulated by the bombing of Washington by the Chinese army. In the past two or three years, the miscellaneous airships purchased from European products are very unclear about the concept of developing airships in European countries, so the airships bought back by the Japanese countries are of different models, and almost none of them are the same in speed and weight, and they have never been trained in actual combat. Even the rank of Heiichi Yamada was awarded by the army, and there was no concept of air force combat at all.

Despite so many unfavorable factors, Heiichi Yamada, who was born in a samurai family, saw the airship of the Huaxia Army rushing over, and he didn't seem to have any fear, but in fact, even if he was afraid, it was useless at this time. With a straight face, he ordered the standard-bearer to hoist the "Z" flag signal to all airships: "Prepare to fight the enemy to the death!" ”

With the means of communication of the Japanese state, the airship group can only use flag signals to transmit orders.

When the airships of the Japanese army saw that the commander of the unit had given an order, they drove the airships to meet the Huaxia army.

Judging from the people on the ground, among the airship groups of the two sides approaching, the airships of the Japanese army are huge and move extremely slowly, while the airships of the Huaxia army are slender and light, and their action speed is very flexible and fast.

It is the embodiment of the different airship development concepts of the two countries, and the Japanese country does not know what kind of airship they need to buy, let alone how to use airships to fight.

And the Huaxia Army was under the guidance of Hu Zhen. Airships have been divided into two categories: bombing airships and combat airships, with bombing airships mainly carrying bombs as much as possible, with large bodies and slow speeds, while combat airships are mainly aimed at increasing speed and enhancing firepower to annihilate the enemy.

At this moment, the bombing airship of the Huaxia Army stopped in the air in the distance and waited. And approaching the Japanese army in a strict formation was a group of combat airships.

Among the black-pressed combat airships, there is an airship with a special character, who is Liu Liujin, a researcher at the Huaxia Machinery Research Institute (see chapter 166 of this book for details).

In the past seven years since Liu Liujin joined the Machinery Research Institute, under the guidance of Chief Engineer Wang Kaitian, he first started by repairing bicycles. Then he studied automobile manufacturing, and then participated in the research and development of airship engines, and is now one of the designers of aircraft fighter engines.

Sergeant Luo Dahao, the commander of the Roaring Sky Dog No. 9 combat airship, demanded: "Liu Gong, the battle is about to begin, please retreat to the back immediately!" ”

Liu Liujin didn't care about this: "It's okay, don't you all stay here?" ”

Luo Dahao shouted angrily when he heard this: "Then how is it the same, our combat position is already here, and you are a research and development personnel, and your duty is to continuously create sharper weapons for us in the rear!" ”

"My current combat post is also here!" Liu Liujin said, looked at the group of airships of the Japanese Kingdom with a telescope in his hand, and said contemptuously: "I don't believe that the airships of the little Japanese Kingdom can pose any kind of threat to our combat airships!" ”

"Then since that's the case, why do you keep saying that the combat airship will definitely be eliminated?"

"The commander-in-chief said that that is in the future, and now it is necessary to rely on combat airships to destroy the enemy...... Shhhh......hhhhh

The herald put down the radio station and said to Luo Dahao: "Just now the division commander ordered us to act as a reserve and prepare to meet the vanguard!" ”

"Your uncle, it's all ...... blame" Luo Dahao was very annoyed when he heard it, probably because Liu Liujin was on the airship, and he couldn't help but feel a little resentful of Liu Liujin.

Liu Liujin held a telescope in one hand and a notebook in the other, recording something while observing the situation of both sides, ignoring Luo Dahao's resentment.

At this time, the airship groups on both sides had already approached the range of the heavy machine guns, and they opened fire with the heavy machine guns on the airships. (To be continued.) )
