Everyone wondered what the purpose of the No. 18 hot air balloon left the team without permission, and the captain of the flying team didn't even care whether it would expose the target at night~ and played a light to ask the reason. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The eighteenth hot air balloon replied with a light signal: "Bomb the enemy, cover the transfer of special forces." ”

The captain was speechless when he saw this light, there was no such link in their plan, the task of laying mines was very important, and he was repeatedly explained by his superiors before leaving, everything was for the purpose of successful mining, and other things could be put aside.

The subtext of these words is that as long as the success of mine laying can be guaranteed, some sacrifices can be spared, such as the sacrifices of these special forces, which are within the acceptable range.

Therefore, he did not dare to change his plan without authorization, and ordered his subordinates to put down their mine-laying work and turn to bombing the enemy and covering the retreat of the special forces. But when you think about it, it seems like a good option in the current situation. At the very least, the deadlock can be broken, and maybe an opportunity can be found to allow the special forces to retreat safely.

So he simply remained silent, adopted a tacit attitude, and allowed the 18th hot air balloon to bomb the enemy. This can be regarded as a kind of wise practice of protecting oneself, and the pilot of the No. 18 hot air balloon was carrying it when something happened, after all, it was they who did not obey the order and acted without authorization, and if they had merit, he would be indispensable, and the key was that this practice was indeed beneficial to the special forces.

In the education of the army, in addition to the set of loyalty and patriotism, there has always been an emphasis on the righteousness of comrades, and in times of crisis, rescuing colleagues is one of the moral norms often preached by those who join the army. Of course, the captain was also influenced by this kind of thinking, so deep down, he actually wanted to help the special forces.

However, the first creed of a soldier is to obey orders, he has been bound by the task before, unable to take action, and now suddenly appeared in the eighteenth hot air balloon, the stunned young man, took the initiative to do what he wanted to do but did not dare to do, of course he turned a blind eye.

Seeing that the captain of the No. 18 hot air balloon did not reply, he also understood what he meant, so he did not reply anymore and concentrated on preparing for battle, some people were responsible for adding fuel to make the hot air balloon fly at full speed in the direction of the Soochow Army, someone was responsible for taking the helm, and some people were ready to prepare airdropped mines.

There are three types of mines loaded on the hot air balloon, medium and small, and the previous minelaying operation, the No. 18 hot air balloon has dropped more than half of the mines, and now there are only two large mines, six medium-sized mines, and more than a dozen small ones.

However, all of these mines use trigger fuses, which detonate upon a strong impact. Therefore, the pilots are careful when laying mines, they all reduce the height of the gondola to be flush with the water surface, and then one person climbs to the outside of the gondola through the rope ladder, and the person directly soaks in the water.

The man on the gondola passes the mine to his hand, and after he puts the mine into the water, he pulls the mechanism to activate the mine. This kind of mine will not be ignited and detonated if it is hit before it is activated, so this activation mechanism is equivalent to the safety switch of the firearm. Only after the switch is activated, when the mine is hit, the flint and steel inside will ignite, thus detonating the mine.

Of course, ordinary waves cannot be detonated, and the trigger fuse of a mine is slowed down, and it can only be detonated when it is hit by a ship sailing at a certain speed.

The laying of large mines is more troublesome, because it is too heavy, it is difficult for one person to move, so two people on the hot air balloon should be lifted, and the hanging basket is hung with a rope, and after it is hoisted to the water, the pilot who is responsible for starting the mechanism outside the hanging basket will cut the rope, and then he will start the mechanism after the mine completely falls into the water and stabilizes the body and no longer floats and sinks.

This process is quite time-consuming, which is why the mine-laying time is so long, if the mine can be thrown down casually, then it can be done with three or two hands and feet, and there is no need to arrange a team of special forces to block the enemy on the ground.

The eighteenth hot air balloon soon came to the sky above the Eastern Wu Army, staying at a height that the bow and arrow could not shoot, and the attention of the Eastern Wu Army was focused on the front line of the battle with the special forces, and at first they did not pay attention to the situation in the sky, until the hot air balloon flew over their large array, and no one found the clue.

After all, almost all the people here are holding torches, and a lot of firearms are used on the battlefield, burning ~ burning ~ bombs, and these things have ignited a lot of grass and trees, so that half of the sky is reflected red, and the hot air balloon that does not fly high is finally discovered.

Without being greeted, the commander of the archers immediately ordered his subordinates to shoot arrows at the behemoth in the sky. Unfortunately, after these arrows rose to the top, they drew an arc and all returned to the bosom of Mother Earth.

The pilots in the hot air balloons have long been on their guard, and countless training sessions have made it easy for them to stay out of range of their bows and arrows. After the eighteenth hot air balloon arrived at the large formation of the Eastern Wu Army, it did not stop, nor did it drop ammunition to start bombing, but continued to fly into the depths of the large formation.

The commander of the Eastern Wu Army didn't know why at first, but after looking up for a while, Huo Ran's face changed greatly, and he finally discovered that the enemy's flying monster was coming at him. Frightened, the Soochow general immediately turned his horse's head and ran.

His guess was right, the hot air balloon just saw where the handsome flag was and rushed straight over. As a soldier, there is no reason not to understand the truth that the thief captures the king first, especially the hot air balloon pilots, whose usual education and training are mainly aimed at airborne raids and airdrop raids.

Decapitation is what they do best. For the ground forces, even special forces, it is very difficult to carry out the decapitation of the capital in the midst of thousands of troops. Even if Guan Zhang and the two, who are known as the enemies of 10,000 people, want to rush to the front of the enemy's main general, it is difficult to do it.

But what is difficult for the ground forces to achieve, it could not be simpler for the Air Force. In fact, it was true that the No. 18 hot air balloon easily flew to the center of the Eastern Wu Army's great array.

The observer has been staring at Shuai Qi and the Dongwu General under Shuai through the binoculars, and as soon as he saw Shuai Qi moving back, he immediately ~ informed the other pilots of the situation, and let them control the hot air balloon to chase straight away, while he himself continued to track the figure of the general with the telescope to avoid something similar to Cao Cao's cutting his beard and abandoning his robe.

However, this Wu general was obviously not as good at running for his life as Cao Cao, he was wearing a bright iron armor, wearing a yellow, orange and orange copper hood, holding a long knife in his hand, sitting on a tall horse and fleeing, without hiding his whereabouts at all.

His outfit is unique in the army, stands out from the crowd, is a beacon in the night, and is easier to be recognized in the crowd than the pork guy in the domestic Lingling paint.

What's even worse is that he is followed by a group of guards and standard-bearers, the standard-bearers are very scrupulous in their duties, and the generals will follow wherever they go, which is simply a guiding light, a living airdrop guidance signal. The other guards were all armed with torches and surrounded the general, and the lights on the runway of the airfield were probably not as clearly indicated by these torches.
