Although the state of Qin had a breakthrough on liquid rockets. But it will still take some time to get into the actual orbit. But if you add the element of war, war is like a very strange catalyst, it can always give birth to some terrifying weapons, and these weapons can gradually change the battlefield.
On the Eastern Front, the situation has quietly changed. The Qi army has gradually narrowed the gap in weapons, especially in some light weapons. The Qi army even surpassed the Yan army. On the contrary, the Yan army was only equipped with some single-shot trap rifles, and did not achieve anything. The technology of artillery is still stuck a year ago. It's just that there are a little more artillery. Everything else remains unchanged.
And the number of artillery developed by the Qi army has exceeded that of the Qi army. The time is basically ripe for a counteroffensive. On top of that, the Qi army had its own air force unit, while the Yan army had only an army. The air power relied heavily on the support of the Qin army. Now as long as the air support of the Qin army is solved, then the counteroffensive of the Qi army can begin.
And the Qi Air Force has already begun to launch a plan for air strikes on the airfields of the Qin army. It was accompanied by a large number of counteroffensives. The Qi army wanted to launch a large-scale offensive and take advantage of the situation to crush the entire Yan army.
The Qin army's air force attendance had reached saturation, and it was simply unable to send enough forces to conduct ground reconnaissance, and when something went wrong, it always reconnoitred first. Because the judgment of the enemy always comes from here.
The Qi army began to complete the assembly on a large scale without the air reconnaissance force of the Qin army. And the observation groups of the Yan Army and the Qin Army on the front line subjectively judged it to be the normal movement of the front line. Such a movement is very normal in the context of a large-scale build-up of troops on the front line.
The mobilization of the Qi army mobilized almost all the forces. Even the bulky bronze curved guns, a type of heavy mortar, capable of firing shells weighing ten stones, wrapped in sheepskin and paper tubes, contained more than nine stones of black powder. It was powerful enough to blow down a bunker of a civil structure. Although his range was somewhat close to only about three hundred paces, he could deploy in the trenches. Trenches can provide effective concealment.
The scales of war have been deflected. The stalemate pattern on the battlefield is about to change.
"Take off!" A ground crew member of the Qi army untied the cable, and the airship slowly lifted into the air.
"Bomb the Qin army." The ground crews and pilots of the "Bombing the Qin Army" did not know until the last minute that their goal was to bomb the Qin Army's airfield, but they were not surprised at all, for the simple reason that it was simple. Their training has always been night flight training. During training, there will be a fire on the ground to show them the target. Finally, under a huge ring of fire, the bomb was concentrated.
For this air raid, the Qi State gathered about ninety-two airships of various types, which is already quite a large number. These airships will be divided into three formations to attack the Qin airfield, which is distributed within the Yan-controlled area.
In order to be able to accurately find the ground target opposite the Yanguo control area. The Qi army lit the road along the airship's path with ground signs consisting of five bonfires.
"Give a signal and tell them to pay attention to the formation." After speaking, a Qi army pilot took out a flashlight and shook it up and down. Later, the other airships used kerosene dots to signal with the faint reflection of the lenses, which was the means of communication for the Qi army to maintain the formation.
It took the airship half an hour to cross the front line, and after entering the front line, it didn't take long for them to find the ground signal sign of five bonfires, which meant that the guerrillas had begun their mission.
Don't look at the area controlled by the Yan army, in fact, the scope of activities of the Yan army is very limited, supply bases, supply roads, front lines, county seats, and other places, they will not take the initiative to enter, because of the spread of these large and small guerrilla organizations, these organizations are elusive, always fighting the Yan army's ambush, so that the Yan army is caught off guard, especially the morale of the recruits, and the official entry will lead to the defeat of these recruits, and then they are hunted one by one. The Yan army had no choice but to take a large formation. Otherwise, they will be eaten by the other party one by one.
Different bonfires, large and small, began to appear in the Yanguo-controlled area, and these bonfires were like stars guiding airships to fly towards their targets.
The airfield of the Qin army, the Qi army defended on the perimeter, they had an independent system of trenches and barbed wire, and in the core area, it was the airfield of the Qin army, and around the airfield there were barbed wire, mines. There are separate power generation facilities in the airport, which provide night lighting for the entire airport. These lighting mainly provide the lighting of the Qin army's dormitory and the airport power grid. and four small searchlights. It was these searchlights and lighting systems that exposed the location of the Qin army to the other side.
The Qin army didn't know what light control was, and who would have thought that the Qi army would boldly attack the Qin army airfield with fighter jets equipped with machine guns. I didn't expect that there would be a chance to form a sneak attack.
"What's that?" A corporal of the Qin Army Marine Corps vigilantly looked around the pitch black with a telescope, and he suddenly noticed that there was something unusual around him. Then look through a telescope.
"It's like fire." A private returned to the road.
"No, it seems to be a ghost fire." Private changed his words in some fear.
"No, it's definitely not a ghost fire, it's a fire, it seems to have a few piles." The corporal looked at the other locations with alarm.
"It seems to be more and more. It can't be an attack. "The corporal is absolutely very unusual. His vigilance was right.
The guerrillas have already begun to light all the fires prepared in advance around the airport, and after these fires are ignited, they will form a huge fire ring, and this fire ring is the airport of the Qin people. Of course, this has to be seen from the air.
"Quick, report to the sir." The corporal immediately ordered. Soon the Qin army ordered the Yan army on the periphery to check the situation of those fires, and the Yan army would not take the initiative to attack in the dark night, because it was very likely to be attacked by the other party in the night. They just figuratively shot those fires with rifles, which was already an obligation for them.
"See that big circle? We're here. Get ready to drop the bomb. After saying that, the pilot used the flashlight to send out five rapid flashlights, pay attention to the bomb drop!
"What to do? There were more and more of those fires. The sergeant major said.
"What do the people of Qi want to do. Are the damn guerrillas targeting us? "The officers of the Qin army still can't figure out what Qi Guo wants to do.
"Strafe with a machine gun, shoot all those places where the fire is shining." The officer gave the order hastily.
"Bulging." Machine guns began to strafe, and the fire grew bigger and brighter, more and more.
