Chapter 307: Suicide Plane? No, that's a killed plane! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)
George. Yilu already knows that bad things are going to happen!
But now he can't do anything, because all the airships under his command loaded with "man-operated guided power gliding bombs" have completed the release of "bombs...... And there's no way to take it back!
Although including George. All the top brass of the Royal Naval Air Force, including the law, have bitten to death that the "man-operated guided power glide bomb" is not a suicide weapon - Christianity is against killing itself. If it's a suicide weapon, not only is there no one to be a "bomb operator", but even George. Yilu himself had to be masturbated by Emperor Wilhelm.
This Kaiser Wilhelm also believed in God, how could he send his men to hell?
But in fact, everyone knows very well that the "bomb operators" of the "man-operated guided power gliding bomb" basically have no chance of survival. Although they can survive training, training and actual combat are two different things...... In actual combat, there are guns all over the field, and there is usually no danger in training to shoot guns!
In the training environment, the "bombardiers" can calmly drop the training bombs on the target boat, and then slowly fall into the water, which will soon be salvaged by the sailors driving the speedboat. Towels and hot soup will be delivered right away......
But in a real combat environment, there will be people who will fire at the "bombardier" with all kinds of killing weapons, and when they fall into the water, there will be no speedboats, no dry towels and hot soup, only hungry sharks and icy waters!
But the real combat was still out of George. The Anticipation of the Law of Righteousness...... Yilu originally thought that only people would attack the "bombardier" with guns on the ship, but now the Ming army let the plane take off from the small ship deck!
And these two-wing, twin-engine, two-seater aircraft were apparently equipped with machine guns. Therefore, the "suicide planes" that the righteous law thought were "killed planes"!
Come to think of it, George. Yoshiri had to make a cross on his chest - he couldn't do anything for the "bombers", but at least he could pray for them.
......
Smith, the "Bombardier" from the Irish countryside, is a three-good young man who believes in God, is loyal to the king, loves potatoes and the land, has no bad habits, and is honest and upright. Although his family was poor, and the land cultivated by his ancestors for generations became the property of the Protestant English aristocracy, he still loved his British Empire and King William of England...... Therefore, instead of boarding a steamship bound for the United States, like several young people in the village who dreamed of becoming slave owners in the New World, he chose to become a soldier of the Royal Navy and go thousands of miles away to the Indian Ocean to defend the interests of the British Empire.
And he volunteered to be the "bombardier" that only the bravest Christians could do...... Sounds so powerful!
And in the past few months of training, he has also fully understood the danger, excitement and high honor of the "bombardier", and of course, the heavy reward given by His Majesty the Emperor. If he can get the money, he can buy a piece of land in his native Ireland where he can grow a lot of potatoes and become a potato landowner!
But it's not easy to become a potato landlord in Ireland, because the "man-operated guided glide bomb" is a difficult piece of equipment to maneuver – it's actually a small glider with a little power. The glider consists of a delta wing, a tail, an engine pod, a bomb pod, and the bomber does not have a separate pod, but rides on top of the bomb! When the bomb was dropped, the bomber had to rely on his arm strength to grab the two handles under the engine pod and be hoisted by the glider until he fell overboard. And in this process, because he had to pull the handle with both hands, he couldn't control the glider, so he could only fall where it was.
The reason for this design is to reduce weight; The second reason is that they don't want the bomb operator to drop the bomb too soon.
And in order to prevent the bombardiers from "throwing" themselves before completing the mission, none of the bombardiers learned to parachute, and they were not equipped with parachutes.
When Smith was pushed out of the airship cabin while lying on top of a 100-pound bomb, he had to work hard to "" the hard-to-"" bomb...... and the first step in "" was to pimp—pull a strip of leather tied to the crudely built rotary engine in order to start the engine.
After the developed aircraft was activated, the "man-operated guided power glide bomb" had a little power, so that he could work hard to control the rudder on the gliding bomb and fly the gliding bomb towards the target. In the process of flying, it is necessary to reduce the altitude by means of elevators, and finally pass over the target at a suitable altitude and drop bombs in time...... The difficulty of this operation looks very high, and the "practical operation" is almost like sending to death!
Still, the brave Smith "Bomber" was confident that God would keep him safe and sound...... Until he saw a "biplane man-operated guided power gliding bomb" painted with the emblem of the sun and moon of the Great Tomorrow, flying towards him staggeringly!
Smith was dumbfounded, he thought to himself: "Da Ming is really advanced!" Look at someone else's operation of a guided powered glide bomb....... Wings, two-seaters, two-haired, too advanced! ”
"Click......
When Smith was envious, the Ming "Biplane Man-Operated Guided Power Glide Bomb" had already sent him two shuttle tracer bombs!
Luckily, he didn't hit Smith.
"God, why are they still putting machine guns on gliding bombs?" Smith is blinded, and Daming's "gliding bomb" is also advanced, and he can actually attack other people's "gliding bombs"!
How good is that?
While Smith was in a hurry, the "biplane gliding bomb" was already whistling past him.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the "biplane gliding bomb" had already made a small circle in the sky and flew behind his ass!
A machine gun mounted on it won't be good to go behind anyone's ass!
Smith hurriedly pulled his rudder to dodge the bullets that might have hit him from behind, but unfortunately he was still a step too late.
All he heard was a "click" sound, and then he didn't know what hit him on the back! Then there was another sharp pain, which directly fainted him!
And then, oh, he didn't have it anymore!
Because he's dead! He was killed by a Ming naval aviation pilot named Feng Mingshan with an airborne machine gun.
And Feng Mingshan, who had just killed someone, didn't know to leave immediately, and wanted to leave evidence, so he shouted loudly: "Take pictures, take pictures quickly...... I'll do it again, you hurry up and shoot. ”
As he spoke, he pressed the machine-gun fire button again, and two shuttle bullets swept through, opening two more bloody holes in Smith's ass. Two big holes were also made in the delta glider!
The rotary engine was also hit, and thick black smoke came out.
The gliding bomb, which had lost Smith's control, was already destined to fly over any Ming ship.
However, it flew aimlessly for some distance before losing power and plunging headlong into the ocean......
And after completing his first shot, Feng Mingshan, who felt unsatisfied, piloted his beloved biplane again, and flew to another British "bombardier" with a cruel smile!
In just one or two minutes, all 90 manned gliding bombs in the sky were shot down by more than 70 Daming biplanes!
The first real air battle in the history of mankind ended with an overwhelming victory over the Ming biplane.
George watching this aerial battle in the sky. Yilu, looking at those murderous and quiet biplane planes, did not come to find trouble for themselves, but flew towards their own ships below. He also breathed a sigh of relief as he often did, and commanded in a low voice: "Quick, quickly send electricity to the battleship Victory." The attack of the man-operated gliding bomb was a complete failure...... Because Daming already has a reusable aircraft that can take off from surface ships, and has machine guns! ”
