The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunsmoke, and the "White House" of the Governor's Palace in Irkutsk was hit by several bombs, and the corner of the palace was blown up by bombs, and the "White House" was full of running guards and officials. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Standing on the balcony and looking at Irkutsk at this time, I was greeted by Count Andrei, the governor of Irkutsk, who only had the thick black smoke in his eyes, and the bombardment did not cause a fire in the city, but the thick smoke was still in the air, and the streets were full of civilians running with their dead and wounded relatives.

This is a disaster, a disaster that has never been seen before!

"Count Andrey, I believe that His Majesty the Tsar will definitely know your helplessness, after all, there is no way to stop the bombing of the Chinese in the world!"

Kuropatkin watched as the pale-faced Count Andrei tried to comfort the court general-turned-governor of the Irkutsk province.

"It's not your responsibility......"

Certainly not my responsibility!

Kuropatkin silently said in his heart that the reason why he mentioned this matter so solemnly was because Count Andrei was born as a court general and won the trust of the tsar, and at this time, he also needed the other party to exonerate him.

"No!"

Shaking his head, Count Andre looked thoughtfully at the city.

"It's my responsibility, but, General, I think, now your responsibility will be greater, I want to ......"

After a moment of silence, Count André glanced into the distance.

"Perhaps, at this time, you should think more about the front. After all. The Chinese bombing is just beginning! ”

As a military man. Andre is keenly aware of the changes brought about by the airship bombing, and also realizes that the bombing has just begun, and believes that the Chinese will never give up this completely their advantage.

The sky belongs to the Chinese!

In April 1904, for the past twenty days, everyone was convinced of this truth, and this phrase came from the Transbaikal region and was widely spread throughout the world by the impetus of public opinion. Even on the current affairs cartoons in Europe. It is always seen that an airship depicting a dragon knocks a Russian polar bear to the ground.

Since the bombing of Irkutsk, the airship has become a symbol of China to some extent, like the dragon, and the Northeast Army has not disappointed the world, in the past month, with the efforts of dozens of enterprises, the Northeast has built more than 60 airships of various sizes, which have not only carried out the bombing of Irkutsk, but also Yekaterinburg - it was a misguided bombing of an airship.

The bombing of the rear changed everything. So much so that in St. Petersburg, because of the rumors of the "Chinese airship", it fell into chaos. It wasn't until a dozen hours later that people realized it was a rumor.

Speech!

Protests from various countries for the bombing of Irkutsk! So the bombing of the city has come to an end for the time being, but this does not prevent rumors from spreading in Russia, all kinds of rumors are spreading in Siberia and even Europe, for those Russians who are not highly educated, they prefer to believe rumors about airships, they believe that airships are Chinese, air monsters made of dragon skin, the size of a battleship, and every time a bomb is dropped, it can set off a bloody storm in the world.

Even in the eyes of the Russians, airships were always the reason for their defeat, of course this is just a rumor.

But the rumors have been believed by many people, and it is precisely in this situation that more and more airships have entered the Northeast Army and appeared on the heads of the Russians, and again and again, bombs were dropped on the positions of the Russian army.

If a month ago, the airship units of the Northeast Army were depressed by the lack of airships, now they say that the melancholy is due to the lack of airships.

As always, on the huge airship field in the ******** grassland, on the towering airship mooring tower, dozens of silver-gray airships are tethered to the tower, and below the airship, the crew and ground crew are busy there, with the help of the zipline they will hoist silver-white bombs into the airship cabin.

"Oops! I said the skin is too thin! ”

A crew member with a bomb under the airship suddenly said loudly.

"I think it's as thick as a can! Isn't this bomb fooling people? ”

Another crew member said with some excitement,

"Don't they want us to kill those Russians?"

"When did they learn to cut corners?"

"What? Cut corners? ”

"It can't be! Haven't you heard, this is a new type of bomb! ”

The crew explained.

As the crew member said, this is a new type of ground bomb, completely different from the bombs of the past.

"It's the Dragon's Flame! ”

In the tent, an officer explained to the crew in the audience.

"The bombs we have come into contact with in the past are all used to produce destructive power with ******** and steel, and when this new type of bomb is used, it is indeed a cheap fuel, well, it is waste oil!"

Waste oil!

Everyone looked at the ordnance officer with some puzzlement, they were no strangers to waste oil, the so-called waste oil was actually the waste oil that flowed out of the process of extracting kerosene and could not be used for lighting.

These waste oil fuels are cheap, including both gasoline and diesel, the former is used in cars, airships, and the latter is used in submarines, and even some surface ships also use diesel, but only in China can waste oil be widely used in the world.

This bomb is also made from waste oil?

In their doubts, the ordnance officer explained to them, got up and explained, what was Molotov cocktail, what was napalm. In short, just convince them that this is a very effective bomb.

"Raging Dragon's Flame" is actually solidified ******. The principle of solidification ****** is very simple, 97% gasoline can be made by adding 3% natural rubber, and at the same time adding aluminum powder, white phosphorus and other chemical accelerants, compared with ordinary bombs, the cost of the fire dragon king with gasoline as the charge and the shell made of thin tinplate is less than 10% of the same kind of high-explosive bombs. But the power is no less than that of a high-explosive shell.

Of course, it's more important that it's cheap enough. Although natural rubber is comparatively expensive. But its price is still lower than explosives. As for the source, more than a decade ago, Brazil monopolized the world's rubber supply, and thanks to the rubber plantations set up by agricultural companies in Hainan and the Leizhou Peninsula ten years ago, military factories naturally had access to sufficient quantities of rubber for the production of coagulation ******.

Because this is a new type of bomb that has just been developed, the vast majority of people do not know much about him. They just think it's a very ordinary bomb, it's just, an ordinary mission for them.

27 airships lined up in neat echelons in the air, and with the roar of engines, they slowly flew towards the rear positions of the Russian army.

If there is anything that airships have not learned in the past month, it is to organize formations, organize formation bombing, every three airships into a squad, and nine airships into a squadron. Three squadrons formed a brigade with a triangular echelon. When flying through the air, the bombs dropped have the highest density and are naturally the most powerful.

Almost as soon as the Russians spotted this huge force of airships, an air raid alarm was raised. After all, in the past, in the past month, they have already paid the price of blood.

In order to avoid the bombardment, the Russians built their arsenals, barracks, and forests to hide themselves from the forest canopy, but despite this, the targets were still exposed to the airship crews.

Moreover, in addition to reconnaissance in the air, a large number of scouts will infiltrate behind enemy lines in order to find out the enemy's reality and grasp the enemy's strategic deployment. All this facilitated the bombing.

Before the appearance of airships, 5 kilometers away from the front line could be regarded as the rear, and more than a dozen kilometers away could even be regarded as a large rear, after all, the army's heavy artillery had a limited range, and even the artillery was not used to attacking targets more than ten kilometers away.

But it all ended with the advent of the airship. For airships, there is not much difference between a dozen kilometers and hundreds of kilometers, they are all bombing under their noses.

In order to deal with the threat of airships, the Russian army put troops and ordnance warehouses in the back. Anyway, it doesn't make much sense, at most, it is to fly so many tens of kilometers.

As the airship slowly flew behind the Russian army, the Russian troops along the way always sounded the alarm, perhaps this was the only thing the Russians could do...... The speed of the airship is its biggest weakness, which allows the Russians to have enough warning time.

Despite this, airships in the air can be taken by surprise by adjusting their routes, making it impossible for the Russians to predict their routes.

After more than two hours of flying and making many long detours to avoid the Russians, a huge formation of 27 airships finally reached their destination.

Amid the roar of the airship engines, there was chaos on the ground, and the Russian soldiers who were enjoying their lunches did not even have time to escape, they just looked at the air in surprise, at the airships that cast shadows on the earth, and in surprise at their size, they were equally surprised at why they had not been warned, and of course, only a very few people noticed that these airships appeared from their rear.

While the Russian soldiers were dodging in panic, the airship formation in the air had already begun to descend in altitude, aiming at targets on the ground, and preparing for bombing.

When he descended to the bottom to an attack height of less than 600 meters, Li Lanqin saw that the chaotic ground was full of targets worthy of attack.

"Alright! You old hairy people have been freezing for a winter, and now it's time to warm you up, warm up, after all, spring has arrived! ”

Looking at the Russian troops on the ground who were looking into the air with a surprised gaze and fleeing in all directions, Li Lanqin said to himself,

Now that the snow and ice are melting, and the warm winds from the south are blowing across the land of Siberia, it seems to the crew in the sky that spring is coming! Then give the Russians a spring gift!

With the sound of the command to drop the bomb from the sound tube, the bombardier kept pulling down the bomb stick, and the "Flame of the Angry Dragon" made by the Northeast Arsenal flew towards the ground with a whistling sound.

"Woo, Woo ......"

In that piercing whistling. The Russian officers and soldiers on the ground watched a silver-white bomb swaying and dropped from the belly of the leading airship, and those terrified Russian soldiers looked at the bomb falling in the air and immediately lay down in the nearby trench and on the peaceful ground. to hide from the bombardment from the air.

Past experience has taught them that in this way, they can completely avoid the bombardment from the air and the shelling from the ground, but they now do not know that this bombing is different from the past.

"Tom!"

With a not-so-violent explosion, an orange-red fire dragon with a length of tens of meters appeared, and the fire dragon spewed forward dozens of meters almost along the trajectory of the bomb flying in the air.

Thousands of degrees of heat and flames more than a dozen meters high instantly enveloped the area. Compared to ordinary bombs, there are no explosion dead spots in its power range. Even if you hide in a trench or lie on the ground, you will be consumed by the flames.

When the Dragon's Flame exploded, it only burned for a few seconds, but with a puff of rising black smoke, the flames disappeared.

Just when it all seemed to be over. The napalm that was blown away by a trace charge and splashed on the bodies of the Russian soldiers lying on the ground was as viscous and resistant to burning as lard paste.

In this assembly area of Russian soldiers, at this time, you can see Russian officers and soldiers who are burning all over their bodies and screaming in pain.

These Russian officers and soldiers, trapped in the flames, tried to slap the burning body with their hands, but the more they beat the fire, the more they slapped the grease all over their bodies.

The Russian officers and soldiers who tried to roll on the ground to extinguish the flames were also covered in flames. Occasionally, some Russian soldiers with burning bodies, because they have more oil on their bodies, will always throw the grease around when they struggle, and the people on the side should try to stay away from their comrades who have become fire men, because when these fire people are desperately struggling, they will always throw the burning oil on their bodies to others to form a secondary killing effect.

In this area of the Russian army's assembly area, at this time, it was like hell everywhere to see panicked and running around to avoid the burning comrades and the bombardment in the air, those burning men let out a miserable roar, and in their wails, the bombing continued without the slightest intention of stopping.

"Boom, boom, ......boom" At this time, airships carrying incendiary bombs are in formation as squadrons to bomb those valuable targets on the battlefield, and their targets are not people, but arsenals, barracks, and other buildings.

Compared with people, the targets of those wooden temporary buildings are undoubtedly larger, more suitable for aerial bombardment, but it only takes a moment for everything here to be in a sea of fire.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the pile of burning ammunition exploded violently, and the black smoke raised by the explosion of thousands of shells soared into the air at an altitude of nearly 100 meters. (To be continued.) )
