Chapter 233: The Air Force Strikes Out in the Sky
In the face of the urgent telegram from Dongtai Port, which flew like snowflakes, the cabinet ministers of the Sun Country could not think of a safe countermeasure. The imminent demise of both fleets was now expected. If they send another fleet, it will be good to be able to win. If one or two more fleets are buried in the waters of Longhua Kingdom, they will completely lose the opportunity to rise.
The Admiralty, which really has no choice, can only urge their R&D department to speed up the development of weapons to crack submarines. If they don't get rid of the submarines of Longhua Kingdom, their navy will never be able to safely step into the waters of Longhua Kingdom. In addition, what they could do was to order the army and navy of Dongtai Port to inflict as many casualties as possible on the navy and army in Longhua.
In this naval battle that took place during the day, with the return of the Dragon City fleet, the news that the East China Navy had annihilated another main fleet of the Sun Country. It also spread to the entire Longhua country with the radio waves, although many people were puzzled. At this time, why didn't Xu Bin clean up the rebellion in his country, but instead provoked the little devils to do something?
Only Xu Bin knows that he can't give the little devil any opportunity to take advantage of. Only by dialing out the nails of Dongtai Port, which can directly attack southern Fujian and Nanbin, and even Qiantang Sandao, his rear cannot be regarded as a completed security. Therefore, he needs time to rectify the military administration of the few provincial governments that he has just received. It's better to take this opportunity to remove the thorn in the eye of the little devil!
With Longhua as the East China Army, when it was not as excited as imagined to defeat the little devil again, the people of Dongtai who had been looking forward to it for countless days and nights. When I learned that the domestic envoy had sent a navy to prepare to regain Dongtai, the joy was really indescribable. As for the people of the Sun Country who immigrated here with the invading army, they looked a little frightened.
Because, they listened to the sound of cannons all night and stayed awake all night! The Sun Nation Navy, which originally dominated Asia. But it never appeared. This situation undoubtedly declares that the loss of Dongtai Port is imminent.
As the first rays of sunlight appeared in the morning, the two naval fleets almost carried out an artillery bombardment around the port of Dongtai, and some little devils stationed on the island army built fortifications. It was almost destroyed, and it was just waiting for the arrival of the Air Force to pave the way for the Army to begin landing operations.
The army in Dongtai Port finally decided to hold on to several important gateway ports, while the rest began to carry out inland defensive counterattacks. Strive to prolong the war for a longer period of time. Far away in the air base in Ganzhou, Gannan. Air Force Division Commander Gao Feihang lectured at the two flight teams that had already assembled.
He said very seriously: "From the moment your two squads fly away from the air base, our air force will officially become a branch of the army and appear in the eyes of the major military powers in Shijie." You are all my hand-picked flying elites, the elites of the first air combat in the history of mankind.
I hope you will remember this honor. Don't let the marshal disappoint you. Be sure to fly well, good haode fried. Bring glory to the Air Force. Is it all clear? ”
Most of these pilots have thousands of flight hours. He was undoubtedly very excited to be a member of the first air force unit to conduct actual combat. You must know that every time they see the frequent successes of the army and the navy, they are also envious and anxious. But without the order of Xu Bin, the marshal, they couldn't make a move at all.
With the East China Army now led by Xu Bin, the reunification has been formally completed. Except that the land of the Three Worms still needs to be requisitioned for the time being. Their Air Force finally has a place to use. And their first battle was to participate in the war of the war, and this honor and significance are naturally extraordinary. Every pilot who has been selected to become a combatant undoubtedly feels a supreme honor.
Although this year. Other countries also had aircraft, but most of them were used for reconnaissance. It seems that none of the countries that attach too much importance to airplanes. Only Xu Bin invested a huge amount of money after the establishment of Xu Jiajun, from the research and development of aircraft to the production of aircraft, and finally to the formation of this air force division. The financial and material resources consumed are not very numerous.
It is said that it is a time to raise soldiers for a thousand days, and some of these pilots have already received high salaries for less than 1,000 days. Now that they have finally heard that they can come out of nowhere and contribute to the country and the army, they can not be happy!
Looking at these pilots in excellent mental condition, although Gao Feihang wanted to fight in person, Xu Bin clearly told him. His main task is to lead the 1st Air Force Division and select flight elites for the future Longhua Air Force. In this kind of air battle, when there is no opponent for the time being, there is no need for him to go out in person.
It was for this reason that he was excluded from the expedition, and he could only watch the pilots he trained and selected with his own hands. Ahead of him, the first battle in the history of mankind was launched from the sky.
With Gao Feihang's order, these pilots wearing helmets quickly boarded the plane that had been parked on the tarmac with their equipment. When they saw the pilot in front of them, they started to start the engine slowly and turn around. One by one, the planes turned around and entered the runway to prepare for takeoff.
After the pilot plane smoothly rushed into the sky after taxiing for a certain distance as before, these fighters that followed it also flew into the sky one after another.
When all the planes in the formation flew over the sky, they passed the call of the pilot aircraft. The flight forms a battle line, and the first flight transition begins.
The airfield they will be stationed at this time will be an empty airfield built in front of the Fuzhou Military Port. And when they appeared in the eyes of the world in formation for the first time, many Longhua people who saw this kind of formation scale for the first time were undoubtedly stunned by this scene. As for the foreigners who saw this scene, they also sighed when there were so many planes in Longhua, and they could still fly such a high plane!
It was not until the plane formation successfully arrived over Fucheng Airport that the ground air crew, who had been stationed in advance, began to receive radio waves from the pilot plane asking for landing. With the consent of the tower, these planes, which had been flying for a long time, finally slowly landed on the runway of Shenzhou's airport.
According to the guidance of the airport flight crew, one plane after another began to refuel, and when the plane was refueled, the pilot could also drink saliva to solve personal hygiene. Because this time, they will directly take off again and bomb Dongtai Port. The Sixth Army of Nanbin, which left the port one step ahead of them, was already under the protection of the navy, so it was waiting for them to appear and take a small boat to carry out a landing operation on Dongtai Port!
Seeing that the fuel was refilled, those inspectors also carried out routine inspections of their planes. After everything was confirmed to be safe, the flight formation took off from Fucheng Airport again and flew in the direction of Dongtai Port. When their flight formation arrived above the ocean, many pilots who saw the sea for the first time also felt that the feeling of looking at the sea from the sky was really spectacular.
It is this kind of magnificence that can be seen from the sky to the ground that makes these young people who could have entered politics or entered the army as officers and have a certain level of literacy. In the end, he chose to become an air force, and after a lot of fortunate theoretical study, he carried out test flights one by one. When Zuihou really became a qualified pilot, wasn't the training they went through just to wait for this day to come?
When the air force formation passes over the sea, it is inevitable that it will be seen by the merchant ships of various countries. Looking at these planes flying in the direction of Dongtai Port, these foreigners were also surprised, when did Longhua have such a huge fleet of planes? But in their country, what is the use of an aircraft that is only used for reconnaissance or simply for enthusiasts, to experience excitement?
It's not that no one thought about converting an airplane to drop bombs on the ground. But when the plane came out, there were countless incidents of plane crashes and deaths. In addition, this kind of development will not be possible for a while and a half, and gradually all countries are not focusing on this, but emphasizing the strengthening of the size of the navy.
As a result, Xu Bin, who traveled to this time and space, changed the combat mode of various countries again after learning of this situation. When they know that this kind of aircraft, which is usually used for reconnaissance, can really engage in dogfights in the air and drop a string of bombs from the air, I believe they will also be shocked. When Longhua's scientific and technological level has gone ahead of them.
Some generals who knew the most secret about the East China Army and Air Force were waiting for their arrival in the open sea of Dongtai Port. When they finally heard the thunderous roar in the sky, they saw a fleet of geese-like planes appear in the distant sky. The roar of these planes could be heard from miles away.
This is also related to the fact that the first aircraft could only fly at an altitude of about 3,000 meters at most. But as the first aircraft that can be used in combat, Xu Bin is not bad to ask himself. Anyway, this is only for the transition, and the real Wyvern II is also in the testing stage. As for the theoretical plane, the Flying Dragon-3 will truly become a combat aircraft capable of flying to an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Of course, it will take time for all this to be done, and Xu Bin is not in a hurry to succeed for the time being, so that the Air Force will develop troops, lay a good foundation for the first step, and overcome one difficulty after another. Coupled with the thousands of fighter patterns and data parameters stored in his mind, he is not afraid of letting other countries catch up with Longhua.
Compared with these generals who lead the team, they know about the existence of the Air Force, but they don't really see much. It was only at this moment that they really realized that on the battlefield of the future, this kind of aircraft, which they could not see and touch, was likely to become the most formidable enemy of the army.
And today, they will also be the first army and navy that humans have experienced and seen for themselves what role airplanes will play in warfare.
As for the little devil who acts as the subject of the experiment, he will also understand it thoroughly. They have to worry not only about warships and submarines, but also about the army that travels on merchant ships. What they also need to worry about and fear will be these planes coming overhead. Because, they are the protagonists of today's battle against Taiwan! (To be continued......)
