Chapter 1069
A "buzz" and "buzz" sound began to appear in the sky, and at first it was not loud.
But only a few minutes later, the roar of the sound shook people's brains.
Li Xiao thinks that the airplane is not bad to use as a sonic weapon. At least, now Ao Ye's loud voice is shouting something, and he can't hear it.
If it weren't for their own arrival, it would have been hundreds of years before the plane appeared.
In the end, the piston engine has such and such problems because of the manufacturing process.
Noise is just one of the problems, and now the problem of engine stability has been solved.
At least, an aircraft without replacing the engine. A hundred hours of continuous refueling flight without falling from the sky.
In this year, it is the ultimate to be able to do this.
If you want to go further, Li Xiao can't do it. After all, he is not an aviation academy graduate.
The little knowledge of flying can be achieved as much as possible.
Daming's aircraft are divided into two types, one is a large bomber.
The bomber had a wingspan of 20.08 meters and a fuselage length of 14.36 meters.
With a maximum take-off weight of 14.9 tons, it requires three pilots to maneuver.
If in World War II, this bomber would have been the famous universal bomber Junkers 88.
In addition to being able to carry bombs, the aircraft carried a single-barreled twenty-five-mm inclined cannon.
In addition to bombing, it can also carry out precision strikes on ground targets at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters.
The other is two members.
The wingspan is thirteen.8 meters, and the maximum take-off weight is five tons.
Its main combat weapons were a 12.7 mm machine gun and two 500-kilogram bombs.
Of course, it is also possible to hang on four bombs of two hundred and fifty kilograms.
This kind of thing is a tactical bomber, and when dropping bombs, you need to dive to greatly increase the accuracy of bomb dropping.
If it was in World War II, this thing would have been the famous Stuka. Already!
Juncker 87!
As for the fighter jet, Li Xiao felt that there was no need. Stuka, although not a specialized fighter, will strike at an airship devastating.
As long as you pull up and launch a top attack, with the speed and size of the airship, there is no possibility of escape at all.
Now flying in the sky is Stuka.
Sure enough, when Stuka dives, he emits a shrill whistling sound that bursts his eardrums.
It sounded like the evil spirits of hell were howling.
As Stuka swooped to the bottom, the co-pilot dropped the bomb.
Driven by the acceleration of gravity, the bomb flew straight towards the target like a cannonball.
Inside the white ash circle with a diameter of ten meters, smoke suddenly rose everywhere.
Li Xiao could see clearly that the bomb was hitting in the middle of the white ash circle.
This kind of precision is already remarkable in today's world. The precision-guided bombs of later generations are only at this level.
No wonder Stuka is a tank killer.
"Fuck me!
This thing is so fast, I think it's faster than a cannonball. ”
Ao Ye held the binoculars and sighed.
"This thing is too fast, it's hard for anti-aircraft artillery to take this thing down." Man Ye also said with a telescope.
"With the capabilities of Chechen anti-aircraft artillery, it is basically impossible to shoot down. Even our army has to be a good shooter to be able to beat it. ”
It was Stilwell who said this, and as chief of the General Staff, he was most familiar with the training of the troops.
"Huh! This time I went to Chechnya, and I had to bring this thing with me. Li Xiao put down his binoculars and thought to himself that he finally had an air force.
To be precise, airships are nothing more than a kind of transition for the Air Force.
When the airship was first created, it was a high-tech weapon.
Although it is not fast in the sky, it is faster than a war horse galloping on the ground.
At the same time, as a strategic means of transport. Airships are still irreplaceable at the moment!
At present, Daming does not have such a transport plane.
Air transportation still requires airships with relatively stable technology and mature operations.
Daming has set up airlines to specialize in cargo and passenger trade.
It has to be said that one of the benefits of this thing is that there is no need to build an airport runway.
All it takes is a place where the airship's massive body can land.
Airships land vertically, and landing is also much less difficult than airplanes.
With such a thing, it only takes about eleven or twelve hours for the Ming people to travel from the capital to Guangzhou.
Although this is much faster than an airplane, it is also better than comfort and safety.
Li Xiao looked up at the plane in the sky, and he felt that taking a plane in these years should be no different from being punished.
If nothing else, this loud noise can kill people.
In these days, piloting may not be a career that everyone aspires to.
The working environment is terrible!
However, if you want to further improve the processing technology, it will take time to perfect.
These two aircraft are already the world's top technology.
In order to keep these two planes secret, the Ming Dynasty even emptied the entire Liaodong foreigners.
The Koreans were the most unlucky group, even though they had been living in the land of the Ming Dynasty for many years.
But the border guards of the Ming Dynasty still ruthlessly burned down their houses and destroyed their fertile land.
With bayonets and whips, they were driven directly across the Yalu River.
Although the process is violent, the effect is not bad.
Since there are no foreigners in Liaodong, the secrecy of various high-tech projects in the Ming Dynasty has been much easier.
"Marshal, didn't you say that this thing would be used in the war against Israel in the future? How did it come so early on the heads of Chechens? ”
Stilwell listened to Li Xiao's words and was a little puzzled.
Daming made every effort to protect the secret of the plane, and even slaughtered many Goryeo people for this purpose.
Now in order to beat the Chechens exposed, is it not worth it.
"This kind of thing is always going to be on the battlefield, and this thing is flying in the sky.
It is impossible for us to blindfold all the Liaodong people, and the Hebrews probably already knew that we had a machine capable of flying. ”
Li Xiao looked at Stilwell helplessly, even if he had emptied the entire Liaodong foreigners.
But Li Xiao didn't expect that the noise of the plane would be so loud.
Even if you can't see it, can't you hear it?
Are you blind and deaf to all the people of Liaodong?
Nowadays, aircraft are trained frequently, and it is basically impossible to keep it secret.
"I've heard that the Navy has also built a kind of ship where planes take off and land. Now that the Navy has begun to experiment with training pilots, this thing will fly at sea, and more people will see it, and secrecy is simply impossible.
Can you still seal the sea? ”
Stilwell nodded helplessly, the naval training base is in Lushun.
The place is a military port, but there are also many fishermen nearby. And there are also North Korean fishermen haunting the sea, and the planes are flying so high and so loud that it is really impossible to keep it secret.
After Stuka performed, it was Juncker 88's performance time.
If you want to be accurate with the Stuka, the Junkers 88's bomb delivery accuracy is a little worse.
There are two types of aircraft, one is a dive-dropping bomb and the other is a horizontal-dropping bomb, and the difference is not a star and a half.
However, the Junker 88's oblique artillery impressed Li Xiao.
This thing is like two whips of death, and it can easily plow two furrows out of the ground.
The people or any living creature on this ditch will be devastated.
Hit by a 25-mm shell, Li Hao did not think that this person still had a chance of being alive.
Holding a telescope, I watched on the dirt slope for an afternoon.
Finally, I saw a synthesis drill of air-ground integration in Daming, and the top of the tank on the ground had to hold a huge air-ground contact signal.
People in the sky don't know who is on the ground, and it's not impossible to mistakenly drop a bomb on one's own head.
The armored units fanned out and moved forward slowly.
In the front row are tanks, whether barbed wire, minefields, or trenches. None of them can block the tracks of the tank!
A small tree with thick arms, the tank didn't even need to hit the accelerator and ran over it directly.
One hundred and five tanks shelled, and the reinforced concrete machine-gun fortress was wrapped in smoke and dust.
The cannon shell hits the eggshell-like turret, and the shell is directly bounced off.
A powerful shell that only leaves a scratch on the tank's armor.
Tanks use machine guns and artillery on top to suppress opposing points of fire. The infantry who followed behind would not take any damage at all.
When the tanks rushed to the enemy positions, the infantry also reached the enemy positions.
Any linear position, stabbed by such an armored unit, will be rushed away like a soft egg.
With Stuka in front of him, the tank will be like a steel behemoth, sweeping away anything that stands in its way in front of the road.
Headquarters, logistics supply bases, hospital transportation hubs, and more, etc., etc.!
Li Xiao felt that using this tactic against those armies in Europe was a one-sided massacre.
But it takes a lot to keep up this kind of offense. At least a lot of fuel and ammunition is needed!
The soldiers can go hungry, but the tanks can't fight without fuel and ammunition.
Now the problem of the Ming Dynasty is how to send as many supplies as the mountain to the front line.
Airships are a good thing, but the huge size and slow speed of airships are also fatal shortcomings.
Anti-aircraft fire can easily shoot down an airship!
In the last sneak attack on the Urals, the Ming lost ten airships.
Of course, this is the reason why the Ming airship is light on the enemy, but it also exposes the shortcomings of the airship.
Unless it is in a very safe place, it is possible to transport supplies by airship.
Where airships can't reach, trucks have to be relied upon.
It's a pity that the number of Daming trucks is also seriously insufficient. Even the best-equipped cavalry division is only sixty percent of the full strength rate.
After watching the joint exercise, Li Xiao, Ao Ye, and Steawell left directly in an airship.
The core of the top brass of the Ming army can be regarded as having a basic understanding of future wars.
Tomorrow, Cao Wenzhao of the Third Division and Nie Dahu of the Fourth Division will both come to Zhu Rihe to continue to observe the drills on the battlefield that will affect the trend of future world wars.
The airship flew directly from Zhu Rihe to Zhangjiakou, where a special train had long been waiting.
Li Xiao took two people on the special train!
"Shall we go on our way? Why don't you take an airship? "Ao Ye knew that Li Xiao was going to Uralsk overnight.
"No! There were frequent sandstorms in the spring, and they wouldn't let me ride the airship. It's only by train!
But that's fine, and it's not bad to see the scenery of the northwest along the way.
The vastness of the Great Northwest and many beautiful scenery are not far along the railway. Zhangye, Wuwei, Jiuquan, Dunhuang ......!
Every time I pass through the Western Regions, I want to get off the bus and have a good look. It's a pity that every time it's a quick look. ”
"Huh! I don't really like the Northwest, it's a very dry place. Take a breath of air and feel like your lungs are going to explode.
You said that this place is so far from the sea, why is there so much saline land?
The last time I went to the Western Regions, I saw large areas of land where not even grass grows. The sun hits it, like a steamer.
The scenery is ephemeral!
Sometimes, you can see other places in the sky. At one point, I saw warships and seagulls.
Another time, I actually saw a group of soldiers in armor, holding swords and fighting each other. ”
"It's called a mirage, it's a natural phenomenon. It is usually seen more in the sea or in the desert! ”
For mirage, Li Xiao still has a scientific understanding.
Ao Ye didn't think so: "Then what do you say about a group of people wearing armor and fighting each other with swords."
It's been all these years, and everyone is still fighting with swords. ”
"My Ao Ye, there are actually big and small battles happening every day in this world.
The firearms of the Ming army are only twenty years.
Do you think that all the armies in the world are as generous as the Ming Dynasty? ”
This is a typical representative of self-discipline, not everyone in this world can have such equipment as Daming.
"That's just as well.
However, I still doubt that the purpose of your personal visit to Chechnya is that you don't want to train yourself with Chechens.
If you mobilize armored forces, the Chechens will not be enough for you to stew.
I don't think any army in the world is enough for you to stew a spoonful. ”
"Chechnya is in the mountains, and armored units are more suitable for fighting on the plains. So, I'm not going to mobilize armored forces for battle.
But the Air Force still has to go to war!
First, it is necessary to increase a little battlefield experience, replace training with actual combat, and enable the air force to develop combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
Another point is that we need to assess the combat power of the Air Force.
Look at how much we can count on the Air Force when there is a war in the future.
You know, sometimes theoretical numbers don't fit in reality. ”
"What the marshal said makes sense, how powerful the air force can be, this needs to be evaluated.
The strength of the Hebrews developed rapidly, and the latest intelligence showed that they already possessed the ability to make howitzers.
Moreover, electricity is also developing rapidly in Israel.
When the airship went to Sevastopol at night to reconnoitre, it was already possible to see the light of electric lights coming out of many buildings.
And I heard that Sevastopol is repairing the shipyard that the Russians blew up in the year. They're going to build their own ironclads! ”
