Factory sound drills. The exquisite engraving is realistic, and the number of times the Sino-German Maritime Combined Force XII:, it is indeed realistic. Even the guns were filled with real shells, but there were no warheads. As a result, by the time the exercise had been carried out, the sea surface of the eastern ocean was already filled with gunsmoke, and coupled with the billowing black smoke that was spewing out of the white of the smoke, the visibility on the sea surface had dropped dramatically.

In this white mist-like smoke, six single-engine planes were skimming the sea at low altitudes, and the wings of the leading plane were painted red, which contrasted very obviously with the gray wings of several other planes, and the pilot of this plane was Meng Fei, Colonel Jun Heng, who is now the top battlefield commander of the Chinese air force in this Sino-German military confrontation exercise.

Meng Fei's plane is not the latest product, it is a light bomber built by the Wuhan Aircraft Factory last year, equipped with a German-made rotary cylinder engine, with a crew of two and a pilot. A machine gunner, who also doubled as a bomber sighter, instructed the pilot to correct the course through a simple aiming window embedded under the front of the seat, and was responsible for dropping the bombs, and because it was the original German motive, the bomb load of the aircraft was quite considerable, reaching 100 kilograms, although compared with the new bomber developed by the Wuhan Aircraft Factory this year, the bomb load of this light bomber was really average. However, among the current bombers dedicated to various countries, this kind of aircraft has been regarded as outstanding in performance, so this kind of aircraft is affectionately called "bomb chicken" by pilots

As a small number of standard bombers, this aircraft has an official designation. For the "boom, type light bomber." The president also gave the bomber the nickname "Wild Goose."

Now, Meng Fei is leading these six "wild geese" to pounce on the exercise area, and his task is very clear, that is, to "bomb" the German fleet participating in the exercise and cover the Chinese "attack fleet." Fall back.

Meng Fei now led the bomber formation into the theater of operations, but due to poor visibility, he could not distinguish where the Chinese fleet was and where the German fleet was for the time being. Since the current radio station is very bulky. It was impossible to fit on an airplane to communicate, so the only way to communicate between pilots was simple gestures and rocking the wings.

Thereupon. Meng Fei manipulated the steering stick to press the wing to the left, and then raised his left hand again. Pointing straight up, he said to the pilots of the five bombers who were following behind, "Follow me from the left." signals.

The six light bombers completed the air maneuver with tacit understanding, and followed the captain to continue to climb to a height of 500 meters, and then watched the battle from a high position.

Meng Feixun determined the relative position of the enemy and our fleet, and then gave another signal, leading the bomber fleet to a high-altitude steep landing. Directly pounced on the German convoy, skimmed the sea at a low altitude of fifty meters, and then went out to his subordinates to "fight separately." then pull the steering stick. Maneuvering this "wild goose." Straight to the German light cruiser "Königsberg". And assist the machine gunner in the back seat to remove the wooden "bomb" that hung on the bomb rack. Thrown down at the right time, and then. The single-engine plane roared past the Königsberg, the powerful air currents from its wings almost blowing away the watchman's hat on the ship's mast.

Meanwhile. German light cruiser "Königsberg. The sailors on board witnessed this rare scene. One plane actually dropped a "bomb" on the sea less than 20 meters away from their warship, jumped on the surface of the sea a few times like a splash, and then stopped on the surface of the sea only a few meters away from the warship and floated on the surface of the sea.

"Haha! It's a bomb, it's a bomb. We were all blown up

"You idiot! If there is no real bomb, how can it be possible to float on the surface of the sea? If it was a real bomb, it would have exploded twenty meters away from the warship. How could it be possible to blow us up?.

"If we had a machine gun, I mean if, then we would have shot it down before that plane dropped the bomb

"But we don't have machine-gun fire right now. Although the captain of the ship has indeed been informed that the Chinese aircraft will take part in the battle. But that guy stubbornly believed that the plane could only be used to bomb the 6th Army, not the Navy, because the plane could not hold a big bomb

A group of sailors of the "Königsberg" stood in front of a secondary gun and discussed, so distracted by the scene that they forgot that they were still engaged in a life-and-death battle with the Chinese attack fleet

At the same time, on the battleship "Wittesbach", a group of high-ranking German officers were also discussing with great interest the "three-dimensional battle of sea and air" and "Königsberg." Like the sailors on the ship, the senior German officers thought that the six bombers had at best harassed the German convoy, and that they were not enough to damage the cruiser with a few small bombs.

"Mr. Magistrate, after discussion, we unanimously agreed. The air raid just now was successful. Five points can be added to the Chinese troops and five points can be deducted from the German troops

The German officers quickly reached an agreement, and a lieutenant colonel of the navy walked up to Zhao Bei's side and took out the referees' wives.

But Zhao Bei did not agree with the opinions of these German referees, and he was not in a hurry to score points. Instead, he asked the group of German referees a few words.

"Gentlemen, officers. What would have happened if the bombers had thrown torpedoes instead of ordinary bombs? ”

Zhao Bei said this. The crowd was in an uproar. An officer stepped forward to retort.

"Mr. Magistrate General. As a naval officer, and at the same time as an aviation enthusiast, I insist that at the moment there is no bomber that can be loaded with torpedoes, for the current aircraft. The torpedo was too heavy, and if the torpedo was attached, the plane would not be able to take off

"And what if it's a light torpedo? Let's say a torpedo with a diameter of 300 mm, or a torpedo with a diameter of 250 mm? This light torpedo is a melee weapon and does not seek range, so it can be made short and thin. The weight naturally decreased, and Zhao Bei asked rhetorically.

Everyone was in an uproar again, and after a serious discussion. Nevertheless, they rejected the Magistrate's speculation.

"With all due respect. With current technology, it is difficult to reduce the weight of the torpedo while maintaining the power of the torpedo, and if such a light torpedo is really made, even if it is airdropped by airplane. And hit the warship, it will not cause fatal trauma to the hull, and even for a cruiser, at most it will be a matter of closing a few watertight hatches, not to mention a battleship. ”

A German colonel stepped forward. It was very unceremonious to point out the wrong view of the Chief Magistrate.

"Mr. Colonel, you only saw torpedoes, but not planes. The technology of aircraft is advancing, and it may not be long before specialized torpedo bombers will appear.

Of course, the current technology may still be flawed, and your opinion may not be unreasonable, so be it. This air attack. 15 points will be added to the Chinese troops participating in the exercise. The German troops participating in the exercise were deducted five points. What do you guys think? ”

Zhao Bei didn't stubbornly insist on his opinion, after all, he just said it casually. The aim was to test the confidence of the German Navy in the future of the aircraft show.

"Very well, I think the Chief Magistrate is very right, and so decided

Perhaps it was because he saw that his subordinates still had some objections. In order not to affect the good mood of Mr. President. Major General Trumei, the governor of Jiaozhou, Germany, who served as the chief director of the military exercise, quickly echoed Zhao Bei's opinion. Thereupon. The dispute group disappeared, and the Chinese troops participating in the exercise increased 15 points, and the German troops participated in the exercise reduced 5 points, and the score gap is still huge. Germany is 20 points ahead of China. However, this cannot be blamed on the Chinese fleet for not being angry, and can only be blamed on the German people for being too dogmatic, they strictly judge the score in accordance with the rules of military chess deduction, and do not consider the actual situation at all.

Although the Germans behaved arrogantly in this naval military exercise, Zhao Bei did not care. In his opinion, as long as the Chinese fleet can gain valuable experience from this real combat exercise, it will be the greatest victory, in fact. In order to improve the quality of naval officers. In this naval military exercise, the warships of the Chinese fleet were additionally equipped with officers, all of whom were cadets of the Tianjin Naval Military Academy, and Zhao Bei transferred them here to let them experience naval warfare intuitively. This is good for them to participate in real naval battles later, this is exercise.

Although the German referees did not believe that the flagship of the German convoy, the Königsberg, had been "sunk" by the Chinese air force, they finally had to accept that the Chinese attack fleet had retreated safely. Because just after those six light bombers left the battlefield. From the northwest another group of bombers, twenty light bombers, flew in and carried out "indiscriminate bombardment" of the German convoy, although the German judges still refused to accept the sinking of any German cruiser. But they also had to admit that under this intensity of air raids, it was difficult for the German escort fleet to make up its mind to abandon the merchant fleet to pursue the fleeing Chinese fleet, so. The final result of this naval military exercise was a tie between the two sides, and both ships were unsunk, but from a strategic point of view, because the Chinese fleet failed to annihilate the German merchant fleet, therefore, from a strategic point of view, the Chinese side lost. However, the performance of the air force is still remarkable, and, judging from the two bomber groups, the young eagles have spread their wings, and China has now established a relatively effective air force. The German side is more eager to win over China to the pirate ship.

In this way, after the end of the exercise. The German side warmly invited Mr. President to the Jiaozhou Governor's Palace. Speak to the celebrities and business elites of China and Germany, and the dinner in the evening needs to be presided over by the President himself.

Zhao Bei happily accepted the warm invitation of the German side, and specially ordered someone to shoot a telegram. Naval and aviation officers participating in the Sino-German joint military exercise were also summoned to the Governor's Palace. He wanted to meet these valiant soldiers.
