Chapter 1058: Air Combat

The reinforcements arrived and rested for a while, Xueqin took it from the new formation according to Yuan Fang's instructions, and then immediately set off, cooperating with the naval ships to sail in the direction of the Wanliu Empire to find the target, at the same time, Yuan Fang also ordered Situ Muran to send people to check the situation near Changqingdao, formulate an attack plan, and prepare in advance for the next battle. Night flight is no longer difficult for the current Dongsheng Empire Air Force, and the moist lights and the positioning of the stars can accurately locate their own location and course, but for a country like the Wanliu Empire, where the air force has just emerged, night flight is difficult, Yuan Fang is planning to use this gap to rush to the vicinity of the sea area of the Wanliu Empire overnight, and wait for the dawn to give the other party a huge surprise.

After a night of silence, the flight formation appeared in the air dozens of nautical miles away from the sea area of the Wanliu Empire early the next morning, the fleet below was used as bait, and a few ordinary airships followed the low altitude above the head of the fleet to lure the opposing airships, while the other main air forces flew high above the clouds at about the same speed, using the clouds and their own cover colors and unexpected heights to hide themselves.

The speed of the fleet on the sea is not fast, the sailors vigilantly observe the nearby sky, on the deck of the flagship, two beds with extremely high elevation angles are waiting for them, this is a special anti-aircraft weapon of the navy, before, the navy thought that this weapon would be possible to use after a long time, the two anti-aircraft beds were just used as a show of force, but I didn't expect the Wanliu Empire to get an airship so quickly, and these two anti-aircraft beds finally had a place to use.

The anti-aircraft bed Nu was recently developed, and the technology was brought back from the Wen'an Empire by the Meihua Chamber of Commerce through technical exchanges, but the cost of this bed Nu is very high, and the materials are even more rare, and the military factory is working in full force, and only less than ten units have been made so far, six of which are placed in the imperial palace, and the remaining two are here.

The kinetic energy of the anti-aircraft bed Nu is extremely strong, and the effective range of the elevation angle is as high as 700 meters, which is enough to cope with ordinary aerial bombardment, of course, if the opponent is outside the range, then it is another matter.

Time passed little by little, seeing that the fleet below was about to enter the sea area of the Wanliu Empire, but the other party did not see an airship coming, just when the fleet asked whether to enter the sea area of the Wanliu Empire, the observer reported that he found his own decoy boat, followed by two unknown airships.

Needless to say, the so-called unknown airship should be the airship of the Wanliu Empire, Yuan Fang came to the airship wheelhouse and took the ultra-long-distance telescope to observe the airspace under the left front, sure enough, one of his own combat boats came head-on, and he was followed by two winged airships, both of them chased and fled, the speed was very fast, but Yuan Fang could see that his own boat had not reached the limit, and the pilot of this small boat was very experienced. There is no stupid straight line flight, but it is not swinging, sideways or up and down, so as not to be locked by the opponent to attack.

Yuan Fang exclaimed: "This pilot is good. ”

Xueqin said: "The pilot of the dinghy is named Ding Bu, and he is the best of the trainees, and this time he offered to work as a decoy. ”

Yuan Fang nodded: "With the level of operation he has shown, he is enough to become a top soldier." Xueqin, inform the first team to prepare, and catch them alive as much as possible. Xueqin received the order and ordered the herald to give the order to act.

As the order was issued, the ten battle boats on the left side of the entire battle formation broke away from the array and dispersed, and then dived down to encircle the local airships below, and at the same time, the airships above the fleet quickly rose into the air, so as not to die when the opponent's dogs jumped over the wall and had no way to escape, at the same time, the fleet on the sea turned around and left and fell out of the battlefield, and several speedboats scattered left and right, preparing to salvage the wreckage of the local airship and the pilots of the opposing side.

Everything was ready, the round-up began, Ding Bu saw that his airship was already in place, he no longer held back, pulled the control stick and moved forward at full speed, two thick fogs gushed behind the boat, and in the blink of an eye, he opened a short distance from the enemy plane behind him.

Ding Bu suddenly exerted his strength, and the two airships of the Wanliu Empire were startled, at this time, they had not yet realized that they had entered the encirclement of the other party. When the airship of the Wanliu Empire was hesitating to chase or not, the airship on the left was hit by a heavy crossbow shot from above, and the two-finger-thick metal crossbow arrow and the T-shaped arrow caused serious damage to the airship the moment it hit the top of the airship.

The sudden change frightened the surviving airship pilot, and then he realized that he didn't know when he had been surrounded by more than a dozen airships from the other side, and the pilot of the Wanliu Empire was all dead, and he turned around and ran away without saying a word.

It was not easy to attract two big fish, how could Ding Bu let him escape, one circled and reversed direction and chased at full speed, and the other airships did the same, but the airship in charge of closing did not carry out another lethal attack, but only fired some training wooden crossbow arrows to interfere.

Ding Bu's speed has reached the limit, the two sides are constantly approaching, at this time it can be seen that the speed difference between the two airships, the Dongsheng Empire's airship at full speed did not take long to catch up, Ding Bu firmly reporter Xueqin's order when he set off, as much as possible to catch alive, so he gave up the idea of shooting down the other party, controlled the airship to follow the side of the opponent's airship, kept a distance of ten meters, through the glass window, and gestured to the other party to surrender.

Of course, the pilots of the Wanliu Empire will not surrender, slamming left and right to get rid of Ding Bu's entanglement, Ding Bu once again showed his extraordinary reflexes and piloting skills, like a piece of kraft candy sticking to the other party, and on two occasions even the two sides were almost stuck together, Ding Bu used the advantage of strong enough armor to gently hit the opponent's wings, causing the other party to almost lose control and crash, but the other party still fled with his life, and finally Ding Bu took out his killer weapon and flew to the position that the opponent's heavy crossbow could not attack a few meters in front of the opponent's side, Aim the heavy crossbow under the cabin at the opponent's cab and start the countdown with a gesture.

Finally, the pilots of the Wanliu Empire knew that there was no way out, gave up resistance, gradually slowed down, retracted the crossbow bolts that had been wound, and turned the direction around the six airships in six directions, front and back, left and right, and flew to the place where the fleet was.

Yuan Fang has been watching the battlefield, and when the opponent's airship was subdued, Yuan Fang put down the telescope and shouted: "Well done, this Ding Bu is a talent, he must be cultivated well." ”
