2404 airship is coming

"Those damn Yue's people, the price is sky-high. Vertex. The fastest update," Bai Rui scolded in annoyance.

"Sir, this is also the time when there is no way, at this time our situation is a little bad, those Yueshi people will definitely want to ask for more if they see the situation, and they have already given us the land, we can only accept it, they will not stay on this land for a long time, I heard that their small force has occupied a certain stronghold in the southern Indy land, and then they are actively gathering troops with this stronghold, and as soon as their troops are in place, they will begin to move south quickly, Therefore, now they are not very dependent on us, on the contrary, we have made a rear base for them, because our Qin State needs such a place too much. Bai Hua explained on the side.

"Hmm." Bai Rui nodded, and after some negotiation with those Yueshi people, he still did not reach the request to send troops, because the requirements put forward by the Yueshi people were very harsh, and a non-Qin country needed to give 10,000 flintlock pistols, 1 million rounds of ammunition, and 12 artillery pieces and 600 shells. Although these weapons are nothing, it is difficult to ensure that the Yue clan continues to speak, and this is still a tribe, and the conditions of other tribes will only increase and not decrease, because they are sure that the people of the Qin State will give such conditions. But Bai Rui believed that by doing so, the interests of the Qin State would be too lost. These weapons are all backward weapons, but the quantity is huge, the transportation cost is high, and if the military does this, it will impact the civilian arms dealer market of the Qin State, which is absolutely not allowed by the merchants, and they are not afraid of anything, they are afraid of the arms trade of the entire Qin State. He thought about it again and again, and definitely did not agree to the request of the Yueshi people, since he could not get the support of the Yueshi people, then next, he had to find a way to solve it, how to solve it, Bai Rui decided to hand over the task to the seventh squadron of the 17th Airship Brigade.

"Sir, the Flying Brick's engine is dead. The engine must be replaced, the sand here is too harmful to the engine, and the previous maintenance is not good. "Mechanical Sergeant Lip came over and reported helplessly.

"Damn, my squadron has only four airships, one of which has broken down, and I've already dismantled the extra parts to repair the other three. Now, one of my airships has an engine problem. Stopped again. In this way, my flying squadron became a squad. My Tiger Squadron has become a Tiger Squad. Meng Hu said with great dissatisfaction. The Tiger Squadron is a brand new squadron, and their mission is mainly battlefield reconnaissance, and for such a squadron, the above is intentionally experimental, because they are equipped with small airships for two people. The length of the airship is only ten zhang, and the flight radius is five hundred miles, which is very suitable for reconnaissance in the tactical sense, and most importantly it can carry various external pendants, but this is only an experimental unit.

"But, sir, there is no way, a lot of things need to be transported from the rear, and the current transportation is very tight, and aviation equipment needs a lot of places, you can see. Even the place where this airship docked, it took a long time for us to give it. Li Pu explained helplessly.

"Alright. All right. I'll figure it out, we have to do aerial reconnaissance, drop bombs, or give them some military material support. Meng Hu said. The orders given to him from above were very harsh, and he was repeatedly urged, and now he had to take off as soon as possible, only in this way could he completely solve all the problems.

"The other two, can you guarantee that they are okay?" Meng Hu decided not to dwell on this issue. Many places in the air base do not meet the requirements, especially the mountainous terrain here, the airship must fly higher, only in this way can it fly over the top of the mountain, but politely, after flying over the top of the mountain, there is not much distance from the top of the mountain. In the valley, the wind direction is extremely complicated, and many places are not favorable, which makes him have to think about these problems. What he needs now is to give it a try, and if he can't do it, he's going to have to report.

"It's all right, sir, I'll guarantee with my life." Lip made a sworn state.

"Good. It's okay. It's very good if it's okay. Meng Hu said.

"We'll act in a moment. Get ready. Meng Hu said.

"Okay." Lip nodded. He is responsible for mechanical matters, the only power of the airship is the engine, but the engine of Qin Guo is still not enough, mainly related to some oil products, the gasoline generally refined is not leaded, such fuel will burst the cylinder that starts. Over time, many airships' engines will be scrapped. Most of the airships in Qin were scrapped in this way, but if leaded gasoline was used, this problem could be solved very well, but the promotion of leaded gasoline was limited, especially some monopoly fuel companies, who intended to increase the value of fuel. And this formula patent is protected by a patent act. The military can only buy at a high price, and some military units can only use unleaded fuel in order to save money. And so there was such a thing.

"This mission, I know there are great difficulties, but we have to do it, and only by solving such difficulties can we solve more other problems." Meng Hu said.

"Sir." The flight corporal raised his hand and asked.

"Sir, have you measured the heights of any mountains?" The flight corporal asked.

"No, but at least they're all at a level of about a thousand feet, and I think you all know what I mean, that is, our airship flew to a high place, and it only went beyond the top of the mountain." Meng Hu took a breath and said.

"We can't fly on the top of the mountain most of the time, sometimes in the valley. In this way, the problem will be very big. The direction of the wind, the wind in the valley is very complicated, we are airships, so we have to make our engines fail without a mission. Meng Hu said.

"Sir, I personally have some worries about such a mission." Flight Corporal Mu Jie said.

"We've never flown on such terrain, and, you're right, I'm afraid the engine won't be able to withstand it. If the engine breaks, the airship is out of control. Surrounded by mountains, it was easy for us to get into a situation. Mu Jie raised his hand and said. He had been so worried about this when they entered the place, and now that his commander had explained it, he hoped that his commander would take notice. Their airship is a small airship, and it is impossible to equip it with two engines, and if they have two engines, their load capacity will be much lower, which is not in line with the requirements. So they only have one engine, and if the engine fails, they really can't fly back. When they got this airship, many people voluntarily quit the squadron because the single-engine airship was very unsafe.

"Well, we'll just have to let the heavens decide our situation. There's too much need for an airship air support operation. Meng Hu said.

Mu Jie didn't say anything more. He knew it was the result of pressure from above.

The flight soon began. Two airships. "Hu Tao", this is Mu Jie's airship, he is the pilot of the airship, and Private An Ping of the flight does the navigation for him and serves as the co-pilot. Flying in front of him was the "Tiger", piloted by Meng Hu, the captain of their flying squadron, and the co-pilot was Corporal Gao Tu. Experienced.

"Walnut".

"Sir, can we complete this mission?" Private An Ping asked.

"I don't know, but I think it might be done, but I'm still a little worried that it's going to happen too much." Mu Jie said worried about the engine.

"You saw it, too. When we usually fly, the engine doesn't run at high power for a long time, so the problem of cylinder bursting will be solved a little bit, but if there is a problem, we can only drift with the wind. The devil knows where it will take us. Mu Jie said on the airship. They followed the "Tiger" at a distance.

Bai Kui position.

"Shoot. Shoot. Bai Kui shouted loudly. But instead of pulling the trigger, he took the telescope and looked at the situation in the distance. After some harassment, the Tocharians decided to launch an attack tentatively, the scale of this attack was very small, but the Tocharians were very smart, they dispersed the formation, no longer the kind of dense, neat formation attack, but such an offensive formation is difficult to form combat effectiveness, the officers need to keep shuttling to pull the soldiers forward, but many soldiers dodge and do not advance, and the Western Regions can only shoot the opponent at a long distance, which further wastes the bullets of the Western Regions.

"Sir, we should let the enemy advance some distance and put within fifty paces of them before firing." Yu Hua ran over and suggested to his chief. He found that he had killed very few enemies by firing like this, because the Tocharians had taken cover. On the contrary, the bullet consumption of their own people keeps increasing, which is very uneconomical for them.

"Okay. Listen to you, our ammunition cannot be wasted like this. Getting our guys to shoot accurately and give him some pressure. Bai Kui ordered.

"Stop shooting, stop shooting. Stop shooting. Yu Hua commanded loudly.

Soon the gunfire died down. But a lot of people started looking to the sky at this time. Because they saw airships appear in the sky. The people of the Western Regions have seen it, but the Tocharians have not seen it.

"Haha. That's great. Our airship has arrived. Let the soldiers cheer. Bai Kui was the first to jump out and shout loudly after seeing it.
