654 Counter Attack Inducement
The machine gun of the Qin Heavenly Army fired the latest incendiary bombs, not the original ordinary bullets, and the hot gas airship with blended cloth and wooden, bamboo structure could not resist the attack of this bullet at all, as long as the bullet hit the target, it would ignite the target, especially in the air battle, both sides used wooden structure aircraft.
"Our airship is on fire." The pilots of the Qi Air Force shouted loudly in a hurry.
"Skydive, hurry up, skydive, if you don't pick an umbrella, you'll die." One of the pilots shouted. Among the captured pilots of the Qin Heavenly Army, the Qi Air Force also learned one thing, that is, to preserve the life safety of the pilots as much as possible. Because it costs more than ten infantry to train a pilot. If it is an experienced pilot, then the process is quite long.
Among some of the captured Qin pilots, there were pilots who parachuted to escape, and these were all crew members of the airship. They were very interested in this way of parachuting to land safely from the air, and in order to improve the survival of the pilots, they had to spend a lot of money to buy silk to make this kind of umbrella bag, and forced the Qin pilots to parachute training. Usually this training is only seven days long. But the pilots of the Qi State did not have the slightest prejudice against the pilots of the Qin State, on the contrary, in order to survive. They were very much able to learn everything that the Qin pilots could teach.
"Jump, jump." It was apparently a captain directing their crew through parachute training. The fighters of the Qin State had no interest in the burning airship. They began to shoot at other targets.
The air turned into a one-sided act of hunting. Qi airships lack effective defensive weapons. The reason is obvious. That is, the rapidly expanding airship troops have made it impossible for Qi State's weapons manufacturing to arm these airships. As a result, these airships have almost no defensive weapons, and you must know that even the manufacture of wooden cannons requires a large number of carpenters and gunpowder filling, and it is obvious that the handicraft industry base of Qi State cannot meet such a large expense at once.
"It's on fire, it's on fire." An airship was again hit by an incendiary bomb from the Qin army. The fighters of the Qin army are very cunning, they often shoot at an elevation angle, this angle is simply unable to attack the other party because of the relationship between the airship airbags, at this time there must be other airships to help, but between the accuracy of the wooden cannon, it is easy to accidentally injure their own people, usually only the Qi army will do this when forced to do so.
The pilots had no choice but to equip themselves for the skydive, but just as they were preparing to hook up for the parachute jump. An incendiary bomb hit a fuel tank packed in iron sheets. The fuel tank was ignited. A large explosion was induced under the high temperature of combustion.
"Boom." The airship exploded violently with a thud. Fortunately, they completed the bombing of the ground positions of Yan State ahead of schedule and dropped the bombs, if they did not finish throwing, then the consequences would be unimaginable.
A group of five crew members were all killed. They simply didn't have time to skydive. The battle took place at 800 paces in the air, and there was no chance of survival at all. The same is true of the airships of the Qi State and the establishment of the Qin army. Because the State of Qi almost unconditionally accepted the experience of the development of the Heavenly Army of the Qin State. They used squadrons, and this one squadron had twelve airships. Use a triangular formation for marshalling. But now, the formation has been beaten to the point that there is no formation at all.
When the combat aircraft of the Qin Heavenly Army attacked other airships. The other Qi airships could only hurry up and evacuate in order to be more likely to preserve their strength and fight again.
After shooting down two airships in a row, Qin's fighter pilots had to return to base for refueling and reloading.
"Damn, it's been more than an hour and a half." The fighter pilot whined. Since there was no radar and no effective means of communication, the Qin State sent all the best communication equipment to the Western Regions and the North. The attitude towards the Eastern Front was almost completely tattered. The Qin State threw all the eliminated and unusable test products in this place. It can be said that this is a garbage dump and a testing ground for the evaluation of the specific effects of weapons. No one cares much about this place.
The Qin pilots had to shake the wings of the plane from side to side, signaling the others to pay attention to their fuel gauges, and then began to withdraw from the battle. At a critical time, the Qi Air Force escaped by luck. The Qin pilots could only watch these damn big guys run away and do nothing.
There is no way, in order to ensure that there are Qin planes in the sky at any time to support and defend the ground positions of the Yan army. The Qin army sent four planes in a group of two planes to ensure the patrol over the Yan army. Such patrols are usually ineffective, although not regular. But the airships of the Qi Air Force always find ways to bypass the fighters of the Qin State. Or just bomb other places. Even occasional attacks will take evasive action. They usually take a low altitude when they are in their own position, and only suddenly rise when they are close to the sky above the Yan army, and return quickly after rapid bombardment. This kind of hide-and-seek bombing could only make the Qin army's fighters exhausted and unable to catch effective fighters in time.
There were no phone calls and no air contact to help them with how to solve the problem. This is why the Qi Air Force frequently succeeds in sneak attacks.
But this loss also made the Qi Air Force see the huge impact of the existence of the Qin Celestial Army's fighter jets on the future airship bombing of the Qi State. As long as the plane exists for a day. Then the Qi airship will not be able to attack blatantly. can only passively take a way to avoid the Qin army's attack.
"We've got to find a way to get rid of those Qin Dog's planes." A Qi Air Force general said after receiving a report of the loss of the Qi airship.
"How to fix it?" Another general said.
"That bird's nest on the other side is seventy or eighty miles away from us. How we get there. Shall we fly straight over? The general continued. He also wanted to solve the existence of the Qin State's Heavenly Army's air combat power as soon as possible, because the speed of the aircraft was fast and the firepower was fierce, and the threat to the airship was too great.
"Fly over?" The general took over the conversation and muttered to himself.
"Then we'll fly over." The general said boldly.
"Let's go, let's talk to the general." The general said excitedly.
After a day of discussions. Qi made a series of deployments. The first to be activated were the guerrilla members of the Qi State in the enemy's territory. They not only ambushed the Yan army, but also spied on all kinds of news. In particular, they were able to collect the information that the Qi Air Force wanted the most. Information about the airfield on the eastern front of the Qin State. This time, they will make a big difference.
