Chapter 136: Passion Collides

Flying is the dream of mankind, but the desire to destroy is the darkness of human depravity. Advancing because of dreams and falling because of desires, on the castle of Matsubara, human pilots fly clumsy machines, spray tongues of fire with the barrels of guns, and fight each other. It brought haze to the clear sky.

Come to Matsubara Castle and watch the dazzling planes chasing the air battle overhead, and the sound of gunfire in the sky. This scene makes it difficult for anyone to let go of the scene of fighting in the sky. Ren Di looked at the battle scene in the sky, which belonged to the level of two by two, Hai Song's fighters ran fast, and the number of fighters of the Republican Army was large, and the number here represented that there were many guns that played a role in destroying in the sky.

Later generations of aircraft often subsonic supersonic speed, because of the rapid action is usually one or two small formations, quickly across the sky, but in this world, the speed of the aircraft in the sky is slow to move in the sky, compared with the jet aircraft of later generations, it is not so much flying down as floating. Due to the slower speed, the range of activity per unit time is small. Therefore, as far as the eye can see, the sky is densely packed with a large number of planes intertwined, which is an impossible scene for four or five aircraft formations in later generations to control a large area of airspace.

A large number of planes fired in the sky, which was also a unique scene from the era of the steam industry. However, there is another important reason why the Haisong Air Force failed to occupy a technological advantage in the sky, that is, before the arrival of the evolved officers, the Haisong was not ready to enter the era of air combat. If it had entered the era of air warfare earlier, then Hai Song would have spent a lot of money now, and the many giant ships and cannons built on the ocean would have been threatened by the air force prematurely. In the current situation that ironclads can still suppress the world. It's stupid to dismantle your own thing.

If the time-travelers from the future are influencing the past world alone, then they must have a plan for the future development of science and technology, because no one competes with them. For example, if the Hai Song Dynasty in this world, five years after the original crossing, there was the same group of 5,000 people with a full set of industrial equipment, crossed in Taiwan, both sides have industrial systems, and they can't talk about each other in the case of benefit distribution, then the first generation of Hai Song Dynasty elders have absolutely no leisure and leisure, buy glass on the road, negotiate business with literati and ink writers, recruit people directly from the Ming Dynasty, and then farm and make steel, go out of war science and technology riots, and then the two sides fight. All the patriarchs don't want maids anymore, it's true to directly control the army and food production.

The two sides will be extremely eager for scientific and technological progress, and it is by no means the case that in the past 70 years, because of the leading and enjoying the superiority, according to their own efforts, the maximum possible limit of the return on the wealth of advanced technology in this world.

What is the maximum rate of return? That is, now use battleships to rule the four seas first, and wait until there are forces that dare to challenge, after this force begins to build battleships, Hai Song's battleship technology cannot suppress the world's sea power, suddenly pull out an aircraft carrier fleet and bury the challenging forces. Continue to maintain maritime supremacy in the easiest way to save military spending.

Of course, in the absence of the Republican Army, the whole world followed the development ideas of Hai Song, and was suppressed by Hai Song without temper, but now the Republican Army has no such feeling, and as soon as the tank appeared, it was served with shaped energy blasting rockets, so pitted. The future is no longer controlled by Hai Song, and in order to continue to control the future and continue to rule the world, any force in this world that wants to build its own industrial system and wants to fly alone will be suppressed by Hai Song. Obviously, the republic, which now controls most of Asia and 400 million people, is the biggest target in the eyes of Hai Song.

Let's go back to the aviation industry, the aviation industry is a system, and the tank and combat vehicle have gradually been explored when Hai Song made fuel tractors#experience. But the airplane, this heavenly thing, Hai Song is now also in a hurry to take out the technology. Hai Song's material technology is stronger than that of the Republican Army! But it is impossible to come up with a fighter that absolutely suppresses the Republican Army? Why is that? Because airplanes are a system. Any flying machine, if you want to know its advantages and disadvantages, must fly out of the sky. For example, in the current development of aircraft in the Republican Army, during the aircraft battle over Jiujiang, the ground crew flew through the aircraft at high intensity, and the replaced parts were preserved. Then the requirements are formulated in the case of more damage, and the later aviation industry can find a way to provide the parts that meet the requirements.

This process is not something that can be estimated by computer calculations, nor can it be thought of when building an airplane, only by flying for a long time, exposing the contradiction between the demand for a long time and the performance of the machine, and obtaining actual data, can it be fed back to the aircraft manufacturing industry. Haisong's aircraft production is too urgent, and they don't know what happened first between the parts. The performance of the aviation aircraft depends not on the most advanced parts, but on the least advanced parts. For example, in the turbofan engine of later generations, you made 99 percent of the world's most advanced parts, but as long as you have those 1 percent of the parts, the final performance of your engine is funny. This situation can be seen from the Japanese turbofan engine in the Rendi plane, which boasts that some parts are super-first-class, but the thrust of the engine is only a quarter weaker than that of the real world's five constants.

As for the current Hai Song, they have the ability to build fighters that surpass the Republican Army in all materials, and even all-metal planes can be developed within three years (the cycle of building a 20,000-ton battleship). However, they do not have actual data on the operation of the various parts of the aircraft. So now it is impossible to gain an air crushing advantage. In the case of the urgent need for fighters on the front line, it is only possible to conservatively produce fighters with stable performance.

After this war, the various military technologies of Hai Song will inevitably explode because the elders feel threatened. As for now, Beiliang can only watch his own plane become unequaled. There is no misery in staging real fighters.

Now once again, Hai Song's fighter plane fell to the upper hand in the air battle, and one plane made a hasty left and right turn to try to shake off the three fighters behind him who were chasing him. Of course, Hai Song's fighter plane does not have the luck of the protagonist who is against the sky like in the movie. Soon the tail was hit and smoked.

However, the mission of the air force of Hai Song was almost completed, and it bought time for the land army to arrive, and the air defense positions composed of anti-aircraft machine guns were erected, and the anti-aircraft barrage was used to draw a no-fly zone for the air force of the Republican Army. However, now this air battle is also the best battle for both sides to maintain their chivalric demeanor. When the plane was shot down, umbrella flowers fell from the sky. Here again, we can see the advanced thinking of both sides on the protection of pilots.

The air forces of both sides can easily attack the pilots who have landed, but both sides invariably turn a blind eye to the parachute. Continue to fly the fighter plane and tear it through the sky. As for the ground, the Republican Army had a well-prepared camp for the capture of the Haisong pilots. It is even allowed to write letters to the other side. After sending observers to confirm the situation of his pilots, Beiliang also reciprocated the favor by making better arrangements for the pilots of the Republican Army. Of course, the ideological offensive of the two sides against the captives was also indispensable.

In Matsubara Castle, feeling the battle in the same sky, and at the same time raising the telescope to look at the enemy's situation, Ren Di and Bei Liang did not know that the commanders of the two sides were separated by a river, which was the closest to each other since the start of the war.

On June 8, 1706, ten group armies of the Hai Song Dynasty gathered outside Songyuan City, and thousands of cannons were dragged to the front line, and the spiral rifling of the muzzles of the guns had a heavy metal-style texture under the sunlight.

As Hai Song's order to open fire was given, thousands of artillery pieces began to fire at the Republican positions, thunderous cannons trembling on the ground, and then as the shells pierced the air barrier with a shrill of fire, they were projected along a parabola towards the earth.

Everywhere on the ground was pierced by the kinetic energy of the cannonballs, and then turned into a violent smoke screen. The real shelling was not as glamorous as it was on television, but only a brief flash of light that turned into a large gray smoke screen. The shelling swept across the land, and the shock wave easily pushed as if it were blowing up the barbed wire, destroying the trenches, and opening up a large splash fountain on the surface of the river.

The shrapnel ejected from the explosion swept over the position like rain, and the sweep of this shrapnel swept like a sickle to harvest any bulge above the flat ground. The saplings and bushes are all gone. Unlike the Ming Empire, the elders of the Hai Song Dynasty knew the situation of World War I, and the shrapnel was useless in trench warfare, so they also used high-explosive shells. Thousands of tons of artillery shells smashed on the position, which was a baptism of fire and steel.

This is the first time that an army on the Plane has encountered this kind of firepower. In the face of the scene of artillery plowing the position, there are often scenes of trenches being blown up and the entire soldiers stationed in the position are completely destroyed, which is a challenge to the will of the soldiers.

After two hours of shelling, the Haisong army swooped towards the position under the cover of chariots, combining tactics with standard infantry tanks. Of course, this tactic is not qualified, and the real infantry-tank coordination is the coordinated action of infantry, tank crews, and artillery under a unified plan. The purpose is to make infantry, tank crews, and artillery work closely together to form an overall force that can effectively annihilate or resist the enemy.

That is to say, the artillery is advancing slowly on one side of the barrage, and then the tank infantry is following behind, and now the tank infantry is following after the artillery is finished. The reason for this should be the lack of information technology, which led to such a large-scale offensive, and the artillery could not keep abreast of the situation on the front line in a timely manner.

Soon the Republican counterattack arrived. Forty steam gunboats descended the Songhua River to the position of the river formation according to the headquarters of the Republican Army, and quickly sprayed rockets. Like a hail of steel, it also cut off the support of Hai Song's offensive troops. A large number of artillery smashed into the attacking infantry and the middle of the enemy, and the vulnerability of the soldiers exposed to the surface under the artillery fire was fully revealed, and the steel balls ejected by the power of gunpowder hit the body of the Haisong soldiers like dummy bullets, forming a cavity, stirring and turning, and many soldiers fell to the ground completely after this shot. This is the tragedy of daring to face the enemy's infantry on the battlefield.

With the advent of the era of firepower, the charging battle will be replaced by tanks, and the role of the infantry is to fight dexterously, ensuring their own threat on various complex terrains and not allowing the enemy to enter. The rocket artillery on the river gathered fire, and soon attracted Hai Song's artillery counterattack. Huge decibel sonic impacts spread from the front of the muzzle of the Haisong cannon with the glow of the fire, and spread to the surroundings as the cannonballs flew. As the copper-clad steel-shelled shells flew in the sky, the surface of the river instantly seemed to boil, and a large number of shells exploded in the water, and white water sprays sprayed out from the trajectory of the shells that had not yet closed into the water. The fish in the river were killed by the earthquake waves. Flipping a white belly and floating on the water.

A Republican gunboat was broken into two knots on the spot because of its untimely retreat, and then exploded on the surface of the river, and the broken bow rolled seven or eight times on the surface of the river like a drift before sinking into the river. However, most of the Republican gunboats were successfully transferred. Continue to suppress Hai Song's troops as ordered, and at this time the Republican army's hidden artillery positions also began to launch artillery bombardments, targeting Hai Song's artillery positions. A desperate artillery battle began.
