Chapter 141 Gift-type airliners
For the big country in the north, Zhao Yun has always maintained the impression of World War II, and the victory of this country is piled up with human lives - Lao Mao Zi is the army sea, including the tank sea + the human sea + artillery sea, but now the tank has not yet been popularized, so the main deal is the cavalry sea + infantry sea + artillery sea. This is very different from China's previous war examples, which were mainly composed of a sea of people -- but fortunately, many weapons specially designed to deal with the tactics of a sea of people in this era have not been popularized in the Central Plains, and a battalion of the Beiyang Army has only two machine guns, which are still equipped by the regular army.
At the outbreak of World War I, only Germany really recognized the importance of machine guns, and at that time, the entire German army was armed with more than 12,500 Macinker machine guns. The Battle of the Somme is one of the most classic examples of machine gun battles. With an average fire density of one Macchink machine gun per 100 meters, the Germans fired wildly at 14 British divisions on the front of the 40-kilometer attack, killing and wounding 60,000 British soldiers in one day. The scythe of death from the machine gun made the machine gun famous, and it was not until the end of World War I that the machine gun really became the mainstream firearm on the battlefield. On average, France was armed with 684 machine guns (including 576 light machine guns) per infantry division, 400 British guns (including 336 light machine guns), and 324 German guns (including 216 light machine guns), significantly exceeding the figure of 24 machine guns per division at the outbreak of the war. Machine guns grew fastest in the upstart of the war, from 18 in each division before the war to 1,000 (including 775 light machine guns). If this number is placed on the land of the Central Plains, the dead people will definitely go to the sea.
Because of the relationship between the Japanese, Europe reached an embargo on China, so even after World War I, there were not many machine guns flowing to China, and they were mainly junk goods. Therefore, the weapons and equipment of the Beiyang Army are still the same as before, and they have not changed much.
The machine guns produced by Zhao Yun were only a large number of armed forces in their hands, and at the same time, they strictly controlled the trading volume of domestic machine guns. So this auction, which is close to the end of the year, Zhao Yun launched almost all luxury goods. There are also weapons, and they are more expensive than machine guns, do you think about the gold-inlaid Damascus knife, can it not be expensive? But the effectiveness is not comparable to that of machine guns.
The gift-giving plot of Chinese people has existed since ancient times, especially during the New Year's holidays!
In addition to the three famous knives such as the Japanese Taidao and the Indian Damascus knife, Zhao Yun also prepared a good thing and is working overtime day and night to make it. The new Handley-Pedy 400 airliner.
The modification carried out on the original transport aircraft, due to the long flight confirmed that it was a good aircraft, and the flight stability was better.
And this time, Zhao Yun, a rare master of the aircraft, would not let them run away, and directly put a large transport plane in front of them, so that the Chinese local aircraft engineers, who have rare access to large aircraft, have a chance to dissect it.
Due to Zhao Yun's vigorous funding, after dismantling a plane and installing it again, some of the most advanced equipment of this era was added to the aircraft.
First of all, the aircraft's twin-engine mode was changed to three 450-horsepower "Jupiter" star engines, which were more powerful. The oil pipeline was also rearranged. The landing gear was added with shock-absorbing struts and pneumatic tires, the propellers were replaced with alloy ones, and an anti-icing system was made.
Ventilation and heating devices are installed in the cabin to heat the windshield and prevent icing. Four 320 mm double-glazed round windows are opened on both sides of the hatch cover, with a good downward view. The floor of the cabin has been reinforced, two rows of seats for six people have been installed, and luggage lockers have been added. The cabin is equipped with interior skin and ceiling, its exterior is pasted with milky white decorative film, the lower skirt is pasted with tapestry, and the floor is covered with flame-retardant carpet; Cotton pads are installed between the outer skin and the decorative skin of the fuselage to insulate and reduce noise, improve the ventilation system, and install fans, which greatly improves the environmental conditions of the cabin. Expecting that the lives of those dignitaries and nobles are more valuable, they also deliberately increased the parachuting equipment in the cabin and added an emergency window;
The exterior of the cabin has also been refitted. A large hatch was installed between the left compartments, and the door was equipped with a passenger boarding door. The aircraft is also equipped with a DC generator and a storage battery. Single-phase and three-phase alternating current converters are converted to provide electrical equipment and lighting in the cabin. The on-board equipment is also equipped with the Americans' airspeedometer, altimeter, horizon and other navigation instruments, and the communication equipment includes short-wave and ultra-short-wave radio stations and in-flight intercoms.
It should be said that in this era, everything is installed, if it weren't for the weight, Zhao Yun would have wanted to lift a refrigerator up.
However, it will take three months for these things to be fully installed and commissioned, but Zhao Yun has already put this airliner on the list as the latest auction item.
Only with new technologies can we attract the interest of these masters, and with orders, we can tie up Fujian Shipbuilding and Jiangnan Shipyard with themselves in terms of interests.
In the early 20s, the manufacturing process of aircraft was not much different from that of the First World War, and Europe and the United States focused on civil aviation because of the opposition of the domestic public to spending large sums of money on armaments. During this period, the Chinese aviation industry had a group of high-achieving students who came back from studying abroad as the backbone, and the quantity of aircraft manufacturing was not as good as that of foreign countries, but it did not lag behind the countries of the world too much in terms of quality. It's just that all the planes are mainly small, and for large aircraft, there is only a lot of look, and there is a lack of actual manufacturing capacity.
But with the strength of these big names, it's no problem to change the plane, so Zhao Yun is relieved to hand it over to them to fiddle with, it's just a big deal to lose one.
In Outer Mongolia, after capturing Sainshanda and eliminating the threat of the flank of the Chechen Khan, Timur's army spent all day training troops in Chechen Khan Urge.
The Mongol army has not had a major conquest for a long time since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and needless to say, the army is a mess, and even the basic military orders have to be taught from scratch. Of course, it is not that Mongolian men have forgotten all the military orders of their ancestors and have not passed them on, but there is some messy information in the inheritance, and the military orders of each tribe are different.
Since the Outer Mongolian forces in the east have been integrated, all military orders must be standardized.
So the sheep hunting activity began twice a day. In winter, there is no place for hunting in the grassland, so this activity can only be relied on to exercise the cooperation of various tribes.
It's warm in the city, but it's cold outside the city.
"Huhuhuhu" Gretseve, who was conducting reconnaissance in the west of Krulen, heard a strange noise in his ears, and as soon as he was alert, he clamped the horse's belly in vigilance, and the mount under his crotch immediately stood up.
In the next moment, a string of stone meteors swept past the horse's front legs.
However, Gretsevev was able to dodge with his strong horsemanship, and the rest of his twelve-man reconnaissance team could not dodge them all.
Eight horses were swept away, and the knights on the horses fell to the ground one after another, but fortunately there was a lot of snow on the grassland now, and the reconnaissance team was trotting forward, not moving fast, giving them room to react, otherwise everyone would not be able to dodge.
However, after the first wave of stone meteors swept away, the second wave was quickly waved out and headed towards the horse's legs.
"Enemy attack!" Krytsesky, the leader of Grytsev's squad, shouted in a bell-like voice.
But the next moment, he couldn't shout, he couldn't command his reconnaissance team anymore. Suddenly, he felt nothing crack out of his body, and looked down to see a blood-red arrow in his chest and heart.
A Mayan feather archer, standing up from the snow nest where he was hiding, accurate archery, coupled with a fairly good running speed, proved his flexibility in jungle warfare, and after South America was basically calmed down, he has become the first choice for ambushes and guerrilla warfare in Zhao Yun's hands.
But there was more than one Mayan feather archer lying in the snow nest ambushing, and the next moment, the sky on the entire battlefield was full of arrows.
How could such a close-range ambush battle be without the Zhuge Repeater.
"Get out!" A few scouts who did not fall off their horses knew that if they fought here, they would definitely be wiped out, and the most important thing now was to bring the information of this reconnaissance back to Cullen.
But the second wave of stone meteors swept over, and only one knight escaped the ambush circle in three or four strings of flying stone meteors, and the four eagle warriors who were in ambush in the direction of the outer perimeter of the ambush circle immediately followed with short spears.
The Russian army uses good horses in the post-Volga region, which has the advantage of short-range acceleration, but in the snow-covered steppe, it will definitely not be able to outrun the Eagle fighters.
And even if the Russian army turns around and shoots, the long-range armor of the Eagle warrior is surprisingly good, and it is okay to take a few shots.
The fallen Russian troops have been surrounded by ambush personnel.
As soon as Skashvich got up from the snow, he was about to raise his gun, but a militiaman was already close to his eyes and slashed at him with a long-handled axe in his hand, "Smack! "Cut the gun in two. This time, in order to avoid the alarm of the Russian army, all of them must be taken, and no one is allowed to shoot.
An axe slashed the barrel of the gun, followed by another axe on Skshevich's right shoulder socket, "Click! The crunch of the shoulder blades was the last sound Skashvich heard.
Haag, as the Mongolian guide for the team, dodged the flying arrows, but also fell off his horse. Rolled on the ground a few times, buffered the impact of the falling horse, although it was also broken, but it was already a distance of one or two meters from the place where the horse fell, avoiding the siege of the enemy. As soon as he wanted to pick up the pistol behind him, a flying axe was chopped on his arm that pulled the trigger, the thick winter military uniform did not block the force of the axe, the arm was directly separated from the palm at the wrist, and the blood in the broken arm suddenly flew out more than a meter away, leaving on the white snow. Haag struggled to look up to see the enemy's face, but when he looked up, he saw an oncoming axe.
The power of Frank's axe-throwers is first revealed.
Gricevev also fell off his horse while dodging the flying arrows, and with his four years of experience as a soldier, he knew that when he fell off his horse, the opposing infantry must have surrounded him, and unless there was a rapid-fire weapon, the saber was the most secure weapon.
The carbine was thrown off when he fell off the horse, so as not to get in the way, rolled on the spot, took out the saber on his waist, and just stood firm when he saw a black shadow flying towards him, and before he could see it clearly, he subconsciously slashed at the black shadow, "Dang!" Two weapons burst into the air with sparks, slashing an axe.
The strength from his hand made Gricevev unable to raise his knife to continue chopping, and when he finally slowed down the strength from the saber and turned around to defend again, he found that he was the only one standing in the Russian army in the surrounding open space.
Of the twelve-man squad, nine were lying on the ground. The others were also caught in the net, and the enemy who ambushed them was slowly surrounding.
"I can't leave today!" Gricewev thought of his mother waiting for him at home.
"Whew!" A flying fishing net tied him straight to a sturdy one. Then the back of an axe slammed into his head.
Gricewev fainted happily.
