"Why did it take so long for our air mission to be sent to us, and we couldn't wait patiently." Army Air Corps, 8th Wing, 9th Fireship Squadron, on board the "Firebird". Co-pilot, Ren Yuan complained.

"Alright. Stop talking. We reckon we're almost there. Bai Mian looked ahead and said.

"Sir. You say, why did it take so long to give us orders. Ren Yuan said suspiciously.

"The chief above naturally has his own considerations. Maybe it's because of logistics, didn't you see those bombing airship brigades, desperately accumulating bombs? Bai Mian said.

"Perhaps." Ren Yuan nodded, he thought that what his chief said was very reasonable.

"It's not that what I said makes sense, but that there are specific reasons that may not be clear to us pilots ourselves." Bai Mian said.

"For example, our mission is to blockade the Goguryeo people, and as long as we see a live target, we keep strafing, shooting, and then keep killing them on the ground." Bai Mian said.

"And in the distance, those damn bombing airships, they just drop the bombs and then they can go back for afternoon tea. And then I'll do it again tomorrow. Damn it. Bai Mian pointed to the Eighth Bombardment Airship Squadron of the Celestial Army, which was looking for a target in the distance. Their goal is simple, to find valuable targets to drop bombs, and their risk factor is low, as long as they maintain a certain altitude to drop bombs. Unlike fireships, they must strictly control the altitude, the altitude is about 400 paces, sometimes lower, a distance of 100 paces, and some are close to the ground for firepower strafing, such strafing is usually very successful, but also very dangerous. Because once the opponent's equipment is aimed with artillery, they can't fly back to the base with one shot. Usually this is done in detail by the captain.

"These damn Goguryeo, they are actually armed with a lot of artillery. We also need to take into account the range of the musket. Therefore, it is possible for an airship like ours to shoot down. Bai Mian said worriedly.

"Sir. I don't think there's a problem, right? Ren Yuan shook his head and said. In his opinion, there should be no difference between those Goguryeo people and the Western Regions people they fought with, they were inferior in weapons. There is no defense against air targets at all.

"Oh. No, I think, this time the mission is different. The information provided to us above shows that these Goguryeo people were proficient in the use of firearms, and they were also armed with varying degrees of artillery. Especially those damned artillery. The Yan captives taught them how to use artillery accurately. If we encounter such a target, our airship will not be able to resist this shot. Bai Mian said worriedly.

"Hmm. Sir, well, our high-point shooting this time, although the damage caused to the target was not large, we suppressed it, so that the Goguryeo people did not dare to run around. Ren Yuan nodded helplessly. In his opinion, what his commander said made sense, for his own safety. There is no need for them to take such risks.

And on the other side. The Eighth Bombing Airship Squadron of the Celestial Army, they finally found the target they were looking for.

Storm Fury. The airship where the squadron leader of the 8th Bombardment Airship Squadron was located.

"Sir, we're looking for something right down here." Zhang Tai shouted loudly.

"Good. I'll keep flying, you can aim and drop bombs. Squadron Leader Niu Xing shouted loudly.

"Speed. Two miles per hour. Height, five hundred and five steps. "The ox line kept the speed as low as possible. During this period, the bomb dropping principle did not need to be calculated too much, because they could completely park the airship over the target and drop the bomb, and the accuracy was very high, as long as it kept a straight line. They also learned how to use parabolas to calculate bombs, but it didn't work, and in practice, many bombardiers did this, they simply stopped the airship in the air, stopped directly above the target, and then easily dropped the bomb and watched them blossom and explode in the scope.

"Damn Goguryeo, go die." Zhang scolded too loudly. Then he slammed the bomb pedal all the way down. All of a sudden, the much lighter airship swayed back and forth.

"Damn." Niu Xing tried his best to control the airship and try not to make too much movement of the airship. Most of the troops used by the Celestial Forces are to carry out aerial reconnaissance and bombing. The task to be carried out by the Army Air Force is ground blockade, especially ground and air fire support missions, because there are clear criteria for defining the two, and the space forces cannot be too involved in ground targets. Of course, except for bombing, the bombing of the space army, during this period, there was no such thing as air supremacy, which was also an important reason why they dared to stop above the target in bombing.

The Army, on the other hand, cannot use bombs to bomb targets because they have to provide direct fire to take out the opposing ground targets. There is a big difference between the two, and for this reason the two branches of the armed forces are arguing about the dismantling of the general staff.

"Boom, boom." There was a rumbling bombardment on the ground. Bai Mian looked through the window at the target below.

"Those guys from the Heavenly Army, their mission is accomplished." Bai Mian said.

"I don't think they're bombing very well. Just blew something up and didn't cause a lot of damage. Ren Yuan said.

"Hmm. Damn, it's our turn. They can go home and rest, and it's time for us to go to work. Low-altitude combat. Bai Mian shouted loudly. The airship began to slowly decrease in altitude.

Aboard the Fury.

"How effective are our bombings?" Niu Xing asked. As the captain, he needs to be concerned about this issue, and he also has a special camera on his airship, which is used to take pictures and provide a reference target for bombing. At the same time, they have to evaluate the effectiveness of their bombing.

"Me. I don't feel good. Sir. Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said.

"Why?" Niu Xing asked.

"My personal feelings." Mrs. Zhang said.

"I don't think the Goguryeo people have anything to bomb, we bombed Xiangpyeong, but we bombed all the city. I'm afraid it won't do any good. Mrs. Zhang said.

"Okay. Take pictures, we'll go back and study them, maybe we'll adopt a different tactic. Anyway, now we're going back. Niu Xing said. Now the time for combat should be handed over to those firepower airships. Their bombing in the air will seriously affect their combat effectiveness. They vacate the combat area. Immediately, they returned to the base. And the firepower airships continued their operations.
