Wang Yong and others dropped the first wave of grenades from the airship, and none of them really exploded, because I don't know how long it was, many people did not pull the lead, just silently counted the time, the special forces are strictly trained, and they are very sensitive to time, especially some bomb experts, they are not only familiar with the practice of various bombs in strict training, but also the precise control of the lead is also very in place.

Although Wang Yong's subordinates are not all bomb experts, they rely on their watches and silent counts in their hearts to roughly know how long the grenade will fall and fall above the water, and the next wave will be known.

The first wave of grenades, falling at an altitude of 2,000 meters, almost no explosion, in the feeling of the people below, is to drop things casually, at this time in front of the gunboat, the people on the deck have sensed the danger, crazy ran to the cabin to hide, the captains of the gunboats looked at the air curiously, is it possible, throw stones in the air.

In the first wave, the well-trained fighters have generally judged how to pull the lead, how to drop it, how much time it will take in the air, 50 people threw bombs together, 50 grenades fell from the air, and the projection was only a single grenade, but the special forces used, whether it was weight or charge, were much more powerful than the ordinary version, and after a few seconds, the grenade fell to a position of about one or two meters above the water level, and the boom exploded.

The faces of the captain and crew of the gunboat suddenly changed, and bombs actually fell in the sky. It's also so unbelievable that the driver is engrossed. And a few sailors next to him were also helping to watch. No one wants bombs to fall on their heads, and God knows how tough these bombs really are.

Bombs dropped in the air are not easy to hit, even in World War II, with a preliminary bomb sight, the accuracy of high-altitude bombing is not high, only dive bombing is a little stronger, this is on top of the airship, relying on manpower to head casually. That is, in a place with a clear direction such as a ditch, otherwise hundreds or thousands of times may not be able to hit one.

However, Wang Yong and the others above did not plan to smash it directly with a grenade, calculated the time of the seal, and used an explosive grenade to cover, a coverage area may only be one or two squares, and 50 together, it is a large direction. It was concentrated around the airship again, and the fun was great.

The captains of the gunboats, only then did they find out that they were dropped from the air. It wasn't rocks or pieces of iron that were bombs, flying shrapnel, and even hit the deck. It was impossible to break through the steel deck, but there was a clanging sound. Or let everyone find the threat, those who were just on the deck. Looking at the lively sailors, their faces have really changed now, if they still fall in love with watching the excitement at this time, maybe their lives will be lost.

Throwing grenades, how fast, almost a few seconds can be thrown down, 50 in batches, like raindrops coming down the sound of booming, incessant, almost unlikely to threaten the gunboat, like a heavy pressure, pressing on everyone's hearts, who knows, next, where it will hit.

When the number of throws reaches a certain distance, the probability will always collide, not to mention that the river surface does not have enough area to let the gunboat move, and finally, a gunboat could not dodge, and what should have dodged dodged dodged, but it happened to be hit by three other grenades, and the grenade composed of high bombs, at the moment of hitting overtime, exploded, and the violent explosion shook the hull of the ship, and the smoke rose from the area where it hit directly.

When the black smoke cleared, the captain found that the rear part of the ship was directly hit, and the deck was not pierced, but there was a small dent, almost a 70 cm or so square, at least blown into a groove of more than 30 cm, and even the deck showed signs of breaking, and another hit point, a machine gun position was directly hit, and a Makqin was blown up, which was obviously unusable.

At this time, no one doubts that the airship above has lethality, the attack power of the gunboat comes from the machine gun cannon above, because it is an ordinary river gunboat, on these gunboats, there is only the necessary simple defense, and even dense machine gun bullets cannot resist, not to mention that it flies down, with gravity and explosive force grenades, in this way, it is really beaten more, and it will be very troublesome, a thing of about one kilogram, falling from a height of 2000 meters, the power is strong enough, What's more, the grenades that were also filled with at least 400 grams of high explosives, as long as there were four or five, or some weak points of the gunboat, maybe the gunboat would be severely damaged.

However, the Russian gunboats ran a little late, and after becoming familiar with this distance and method, the experienced special forces began to throw mortar shells downward, from the very beginning of 40mm, to 120mm, the former is good to say, a little more powerful than a large grenade, a little heavier, a little more charged, and the power is almost the same, but the latter, 120mm mortar shells, although not special, are used for bombing aerial bombs, But the 120-mm mortar is also powerful enough when dropped at an altitude of 2000 meters.

You must know that the total weight of the 120mm mortar shell is more than 6 kilograms, the charge of more than 1500 grams, plus its own weight, even if there is no initial velocity of the explosion, the lethality is amazing enough, plus the good air attitude brought by the tail, it is easier to control than a grenade, and even with the guò mortar, it has an advantage, the launch speed is extremely fast, as long as it is thrown down, even the aiming can be weakened, how much power you have, how much you can drop.

From the appearance of the mortar shell, Felasovich knew that the gunboat could retreat, and if it stayed, maybe all of it would sink here, the most important thing is that when a good luck 120mm mortar shell happened to fall on the first class of a gunboat, it directly overturned the 120mm gun on the gunboat, by the way, the deck also made a big hole, and the good luck did not hit the ammunition compartment, so that the ammunition compartment was martyred, but in the cabin, 3 sailors who could not dodge were still in the explosion and were directly killed.

The gunboats were actually on the Mongolian border, and there were the first casualties, and the other gunboats who felt the same were no longer holding on, and after a little flag, they asked Felasovich about it, and after getting his approval, the 12 gunboats formed a flotilla, and quickly turned around, thinking about where the Selenga River came from.

The 12 gunboats didn't even say hello, they turned around and left, which surprised A, but at this time he didn't have the time to blame Felasovich, he had seen the whole process of this battle, the airship at an altitude of 2000 meters, which is not something that any army weapon can shoot, is passively beaten, as long as the opponent has enough bombs and grenades, he can clear everything at a fixed point.

The gunboat ran away, the airship did not let him go, under the control of the pilot, behind the gunboat, kept chasing for a few kilometers, but the speed of the speedboat is increased to the maximum, it is difficult for the airship to hit it through the aerial bombardment, there is no aerial sight, there is no fixed bombardier, just rely on the manual, before being able to hit, shit luck at the same time, but also because the other party maintains and low speed, the same high speed of the two objects, the gunboat is doing irregular movement, at this time the hit rate is relative to the previous fixed range, At least it fell more than 10 times, chased for more than 20 minutes, chased more than 10 kilometers, and finally hit one, and overturned the deck again.

drove away the gunboat, to 10 kilometers later, the gunboat can no longer pose a threat to the trading city, the airship stopped, without the help of the gunboat, it is equivalent to the Russian army's biggest threat to the trading city has been reduced by more than half, Wang Yong thought for a while, discussed with the pilot of the airship, and the airship turned a big bay crookedly, and went towards Kyakhta.

On the airship, there are still eight or nine tons of weapons and ammunition, and the grenades and mortar shells that can be used account for less than one-third, but they are also more than 3 tons, and the number of grenades is as much as 3,000.

At this time, the airship, in the eyes of Avdeyevich, is not a good thing, even the largest relying gunboat has been beaten away, he also saw the things thrown down by the airship, grenades and mortar shells, these are very familiar, but these plus the airship, actually produced such an effect, the shelling is very powerful, but the artillery fire is fired from a distance, even if it is dense, it will be threatened by other cannons, the airship flies in the air, just throw it downward, the accuracy and density are much greater.

The airship flew over, how did Avdeyevich not know the purpose of the other party, but there was no good way, so he had to order his soldiers to hide in the anti-artillery holes or fortifications, Kyakhta, as a Russian bridgehead on the Mongolian side, has been operating for many years, and there are still a little permanent fortifications and firepower points.

After all, the airship pursued the gunboat, and for a while, the well-trained Russian soldiers quickly found a hidden place, in the carpet bombardment of the airship, except for a few unlucky, the other casualties were very small, after knowing that it was useless to do so, Wang Yong took the initiative to stop, and the airship turned to fly towards the trading city.

After the airship put down Wang Yong and others and some of the ammunition, the airship took the initiative to leave, and the trading city did not have the conditions for landing, so it could not fly if it landed, and this kind of thing was not suitable for falling into the hands of the Russian army.

The balance that was broken by the increase in the number of Russian troops and gunboats was restored with the arrival of reinforcements from the first battalion and the appearance of airships, and the Russian army did not attack, nor did the northwest, and once again there was a more strange balance on the battlefield, and both sides were accumulating strength, waiting for the moment when the balance would be broken again.
