To be precise, by the third generation of the airship, it already has a certain amount of power, and the same as the pedal plane, it is a huge propeller, through the four-person pedal, and then through the transmission device, the human power is transported to the propeller, generating air flow, propelling the airship forward, or changing direction.

But this is not much better than the first generation of hot air balloons, with the strength of four people, if you want to change the airship that can carry 8,000 catties, or even 10,000 catties, this force is too small, unless all the operators are replaced by grandmasters, even if it is a nine-rank martial artist, the propulsion generated is still not enough.

Therefore, the third-generation airship can only produce thrust of 20 to 30 kilometers per hour in a windless environment, the problem is that at an altitude of several hundred meters, there is almost no wind, and the wind direction is never fixed.

Therefore, this huge thruster plays the most role in changing the direction of the airship, or playing a slight propulsion role.

As for the deviation in the process, it mainly depends on finding the right air flow, the direction of the wind, or as for the warship sailing against the wind, it relies on the crosswind to provide power and take a zigzag route.

But now what they have to do is to carry out precision bombing, which is not the same as bombing ground troops. You must know that the battle between Da Chu and the Aoren is a big scene of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, the battlefield stretches for dozens of miles, and the bottom is full of people, even if they hide in the trenches or scatter, it doesn't matter, as long as it is big enough to be good, you can drop the bomb, as for who can be blown up, a small half depends on the experience of the bombardiers, and most of it depends on luck.

It is for this reason that during the second battle, although most of the results were obtained by the airship troops, the number of casualties of the Austrians was far lower than Cheng Liang's estimate.

Similarly, the Austrian hot air balloon air team did not bring many casualties to the Great Chu coalition army, and in the first battle, more than 60,000 casualties were all from 'mutiny' war horses.

Naval and land battles are completely different, the aviation is busy and sweaty, and it is difficult to fly the airship directly above the battleship, even if there are hundreds of battleship transports below, the result is not the same.

Sometimes, the airship does pass over the battleship, but this time is very short, so short that the bombardier does not even have enough time to light the fuse, and it is easy to feel that it is almost there, just light the fuse, the airship has already flown over, or the battleship has sailed away.

From time to time, there were columns of water on the sea, which were ignited bombs, so that the bombers had to drop the bombs, after all, this thing was too dangerous, and no one wanted it to explode on the airship.

Half an hour later, Lan Bing received a report that 150 airships had dropped 90 bombs without any success, and the bombs that had been exploded closest to the enemy ship were also more than 50 meters away.

This made Lan Bing feel incredible, how could it be? That's one hundred and fifty airships, and there are a hundred arcane ships below, even if you throw them with your eyes closed, there will always be a few explosions.

In fact, it was much more difficult than she thought, not only for the airship to control, but also for the bombardier. On land, if the length of the fuse is cut less, the bomb will fall to the ground at most, and when it burns, it will naturally explode, but here is the sea, and the bomb that falls into the sea is not even as useful as a stone, it will not explode at all, and the density is low, and it will smash people on the head at most.

"The airship is difficult to control, the fuse length requirements are too strict, and the enemy ship carries out all kinds of evasion ......" There is a lot of information coming from the airship, and Lan Bing has to thank the radio again for help, otherwise she can only let people pick up the bottles thrown on it in the sea to know what the problem is, she can't even send the solution back to the airship, so she can't let the airship fall down and discuss it.

The airship is a big guy, and if it falls together, don't even think about it for half an hour. Lan Bing suddenly found that this naval battle seemed to be about to become another joke again, and the hell was that the object of ridicule would be her Lan Bing.

She has been confident since she was a child, and she was deeply shocked, and she felt that she couldn't bear it. After all, she was only a fourteen-year-old girl, and it was already difficult for her to carry the survival problem of nearly two hundred people on the Charge before, and suddenly it became five thousand, Lan Bing felt that she was too conceited before.

When she first looked at those regulations, she nodded sometimes, sometimes shook her head, and disagreed with many of her husband's ideas, she thought that she could do better, but when she arrived on the battlefield, she realized that many of the ideas she thought were very good were just on paper and could not be used at all.

"According to the naval warfare code, it's time to release the first wave of fighters. The Tiger King asked expressionlessly, he thought in hindsight that the airship troops had just arrived, and he didn't even think that people had already tried to make progress, as for dropping more than 90 bombs, the number was too small, he didn't care at all.

Smart people are like this, Lan Bing thinks it's better to bomb with an airship, Lan Yunxi also thinks so, she, like Lan Bing, thinks that she is a smart person, although she is familiar with Mr.'s rules and regulations, she has never thought about it.

"Yes. Lan Bing subconsciously responded, at this moment she had forgotten that she was the commander of the naval battle.

"The herald ordered the first batch of 100 fighters to be released according to the naval drills, and after the bombs were dropped, they returned to the mothership to load. Lan Bing followed the words of the Tiger King and gave the order, after all, these were all things that she had memorized for a long time on the drill code, and subconsciously recited the combat regulations on the drill code.

"Yes, release the first batch of a hundred planes and bomb enemy ships. ”

Twenty minutes later, Lan Yunxi received the order, this time it was not very lucky, almost all the radios failed, until a certain good luck radio was connected, and the command was transmitted to Lan Yunxi's air carrier Liuyun in flag.

The airship rose rapidly, until it reached an altitude of 1,500 meters, and then released the fighters, after all, they were hanging under the pods, and without enough height, these pedal planes could fall directly into the sea.

These pilots were all trained, and from an altitude of 1,500 to 800 meters, they completed the operation of controlling the aircraft, adjusted the nose, flew towards the Austrian fleet, and even formed a beautiful two-plane formation.

This is again Lord Lei's bad taste, after all, the speed of the foot plane is not fast, the speed is usually only about eighty to one hundred miles per hour, this is already the combat speed, and the pilot needs to pedal with all his strength, and he can't hold on for too long.

A two-plane formation, at this speed, is not an air battle, in fact, there is not much need. Of course, it is not that it has no effect at all, according to the fighter drill code, when the long plane fails to attack, the wingman can adjust according to the long plane and continue to complete the bombing mission.

As soon as the group appeared, Lan Yunxi was stunned, compared to the infuriating control ability of the take-off boat, the plane was too flexible, from an altitude of eight hundred meters, it pounced on the battleship below, and the speed was much faster than normal, after all, it was a dive, even if it did not provide power, the speed was not slow.

"Go into the attack position and prepare to drop the bomb. The captain said to the bombardier behind him, and the pilot should memorize the air combat drill code. The position of attack refers to the bow or stern of the ship, and the aircraft will fly longitudinally over the battleship from head to tail, so that the bombardier will have more time to drop the bomb.

After all, a foot plane, it is also an airplane, a speed of nearly 100 miles per hour, a 100-meter-long battleship, it only takes a few seconds to pass through, the bombardier must calculate the amount of advance in a very short time, and drop the bomb, otherwise he can only wait to enter the attack position again.

This amount of advance is not calculated, but the result of a long period of training, with the same size and weight of the package, repeated practice, at different altitudes and speeds, which requires long-term cooperation between the driver and the bombardier.

After all, it is a human-powered aircraft, not like a mechanically powered aircraft, the speed is fixed, it is said that flying 100 miles is 100 miles, and when people pedal, the strength is uneven, and they can only rely on the experience of bombarders.

Obviously, Renault's training was still very effective, and the first plane dropped a 50-pound bomb on the stern of a battleship, in fact, the bombardier wanted to drop it in the center of the ship. Of course, such a result is completely acceptable, after all, it was accurately cast on the ship.

Dozens of water dragons erupted from the bamboo pipe, but the speed of the plane was too fast, and the bombs were also moving, this was not a high-altitude bomb, the plane flew almost above the ship, and the time for the bombs to fall was only two to three seconds, which was not enough for the sailors to react correctly.

The interception of the fishing net played a very good role, fifty pounds of bombs were not enough to tear the fishing net, and when it came into contact with the fishing net, it bounced a little, and then exploded with a bang.

The fishing net above the battleship was burned with explosions, and a large hole of several tens of meters was opened, and at the same time, the auxiliary mast in the stern of the ship was blown down.

Immediately after that, the wingman also entered the dive position, and with the experience of the long plane, the bombardier of the wingman cut the fuse shorter and dropped the bomb one second earlier.

Unfortunately, the effect was not so good, and he couldn't use the big hole that the first bomb thrown, so this bomb still exploded in the fishing net, but it was in a very good position, near the mainmast.

Although the power of black powder is not great, it depends on who it is compared with, such a close distance, fifty catties of black powder, enough to blow up the main mast, and at the same time tear all the fishing nets into a mess, losing their original effect.

It's a pity that Lan Yunxi's appetite is a little big, this batch of one hundred planes, under her order, attacked fifty ships at the same time, and most of the results were similar, and they failed to sink the enemy ships directly, but the battleships that could smoke and catch fire were as many as more than twenty, and in addition, the Austrian warship defense network was also torn apart.

Seeing the results in front of her, Lan Yunxi was stunned, she couldn't imagine that such a small plane could inflict so much damage on the Austrian fleet, and the airship she had high hopes for was disappointing on the battlefield.

"Commander Blue, the second group of fighters has begun to attack. Join the army reminded.
