Chapter 109: Defoliant
Except for the technology provided by Huaxia, the speed of any spaceship in the sky has been extremely slow so far, which is one of the reasons why there are no large ships participating in the battle in the sky outside the alliance.
However, the Kavin fleet, which has obtained Huaxia equipment, is an exception, and the suspension propulsion device taken down from the Nolan technology tree allows various anti-gravity systems to "walk" in the sky freely.
Calvin's fleet has moved away from the constraints of having to rely on bays or wide rivers to anchor or move at high speeds within the planet.
Instead of rushing to order an attack on Corfu's major cities, Carvin sent a small number of aircraft carrier formations to harass the large cities in the hope of luring Corfu's forces over.
Kavin's request is very simple, according to the information provided by the Huaxia side, there are at least 100 million troops on Corfu.
Whether it's the Army, the Air Force, or the Navy, it's a huge amount for Carvin.
And the number of Carvin's fleet is not large, even the first batch of landing troops in the follow-up is only 100,000 people, and if you want to attack Corfu, you need to seize the weakness on Corfu.
It's June on the Earth calendar, and it's harvest time on Corfu.
The implementation of the general mobilization of the Noah Empire naturally also affected Corfu greatly.
Now is the time when farming is busy, and labor is scarce.
Coupled with the fact that there are a large number of mobilized troops on Corfu, it will inevitably lead to a shortage of grain harvests.
There is a saying in the Chinese military that when the enemy advances, I retreat, and when the enemy retreats, I advance.
Carvin intends to send a large number of harvesting troops to various agricultural areas to disrupt the grain harvest on Corfu.
Feint to attack large cities by harassing troops, attract the attention of local main forces, and create opportunities for harvesting troops.
Somewhere on Corfu, it's the harvest season in June of the Earth calendar, and in the fields, you can see not only busy women and children, but also Imperial soldiers in military uniforms helping with farm work.
Because of the irrational rationing system, the old and weak women and children, who had already lost their young laborers, were not motivated to harvest grain.
The same was true of the Imperial soldiers who came to help, and under the monarchical education, everyone wanted to be a real warrior, not a soldier busy working in the fields.
In addition, many of the urban soldiers were mobilized from the city, so they could be said to know nothing about farm work.
Whether they were peasants or imperial soldiers, although their identities were different, they were the same in their treatment of grain harvesting.
Treat it negatively, anyway, there are soldiers/peasants to help with the harvest.
In the seemingly busy farmland, everyone tacitly rubs their skin and scratches the itch, lazy and lazy.
Sometimes they talk to each other, sometimes they laugh and play.
Discussing whose daughter-in-law has become a young "widow" because the men in the family have been mobilized, whether they need the villagers to help take care of them and see if there are any difficulties in life.
The soldiers were also bored, mixing days by day.
The sun in the sky was still so dazzling, and an Imperial soldier raised his head and covered his forehead with his hands, looking at the dazzling sunlight in the sky, sweating profusely, and complaining: "Hey, why do you let us harvest the grain." ”
Suddenly, I saw that the sun had dimmed, and it was dense like a big bird, covering the sky and the sun.
The soldier blinked, looked at it for a while, and the next second his heart sank, but his back was cold on a hot day, and he exclaimed, "Oh no! Enemy! Enemy planes are coming! ”
The sound of propeller planes in the sky was already "buzzing", and the soldiers and peasants below were even more frightened as they watched the incoming group of planes.
The peasants panicked and trampled on the crops that had not yet been harvested and fled.
The soldiers, on the other hand, sounded the alarm, grabbed their weapons, and prepared to return fire.
However, there are no anti-aircraft weapons in the farmland, nothing more than holding rifles and machine guns and firing indiscriminately in the air.
Help the farmer, but he didn't bring heavy weapons.
The commander of Tata's aircraft formation looked at the farmland below, then scanned the surrounding airspace, and ordered to the team members in the channel: "The escort formation should pay attention to the surrounding airspace, and if it finds an enemy plane, it will be entangled immediately!" ”
"Understood!"
"The attack aircraft formation should pay attention to the anti-aircraft fire in the field, and if a heavy anti-aircraft fire point is found, clear it as soon as possible!"
"Understood!"
With that, the escort formation and the attack aircraft formation flew out of the queue.
At this time, the commander continued: "Attention all members of the formation, they have arrived at the designated area, lowered the flight altitude, and began to carry out the bombing plan!" ”
"Yes!"
The Imperial soldiers below held their weapons and fired at the sky, but the bullets could not be shot at the height of the plane's flight at all, and could only be regarded as strengthening their own prestige.
"Be careful! Enemy planes are ready to bomb!! ”
The Tata bomber formation had already arrived in the bombing area, and the more experienced veterans immediately guessed that it was ready to bomb.
However, Tata's formation did not follow the traditional bombing formation, but dozens of planes lined up in a "one" formation and flew from afar.
And what awaits them is not a mounted bomb, or an incendiary bomb.
I saw that layers of water mist were sprayed under the wings of the group in an instant, and it didn't look like a battle at all.
After a few moments, as the group flew over everyone's heads, sprayed the water mist, they gathered together again and flew away.
The peasants and Imperial soldiers below looked at each other, what was the matter? For a show? Or are you here to deliver benefits?
Tata knows that it is a hot day in Corfu now, so why not sprinkle water to cool everyone down?
The soldiers and peasants laughed, thinking that Tata was here to be funny, and looking at the ass of the group flying into the distance, some soldiers even joked: "What about performing a stunt for the uncle?" Fly back again! ”
However, after a short time, when the mist in the sky fell on everyone, the experienced soldier sniffled and his brow immediately furrowed.
The smell, this is not ordinary water, and immediately exclaimed: "Wait! There seems to be something wrong with this water!! ”
"Damn, it can't be a chemical weapon, right!?"
"Put on a gas mask right away! Evacuate the area! ”
And the commander of the Tata aircraft formation in the sky, looking at the various data of the fighters, the drop boxes on both sides were empty, and said with a smile: "The empire would never have imagined that this thing called 'defoliant' is so powerful, hehe." ”
In the command room of the White Horse, battle reports were reported from all over the country.
Kavin stuck the battle report, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "This is something that the Mi Army once used, and it is a big killer weapon against plants." ”
"More than 100 million mobilized troops, it only takes 3 months, if there are no reinforcements to ensure that you go wrong."
In the headquarters in the city of Ionia, an adjutant reported: "Commander, all the cities of Corfu have been attacked by enemy aircraft carrier formations, and when our aircraft formation arrived, the other party did not entangle with our troops, and retreated at the slightest contact. ”
Chen pinched his beard and muttered, "Raid the war?" But what's the use of that? ”
At this time, the adjutant reported: "Commander, at the same time, a large number of Tata aircraft have been found over various farmlands. ”
"But they didn't bomb, they didn't engage in any fighting, they seemed to spray some mist and then left."
Chen was stunned: "Water mist? ”
The adjutant nodded: "However, the following report reports that the water mist has a peculiar smell, and it is suspected that it is chemical weapons." ”
"Chemical weapons?"
Chen's heart twitched, the Corfu Star cities were definitely not the target of Carvin's guy, the raid group was only used to attract the main force of the empire, and Carvin's real purpose was to farmland.
There was definitely something wrong with the things thrown by the group of planes on the other side of the farmland, Chen "Ho" stood up from his seat and ordered urgently: "The whole army must assist all the farmers of Corfu Star within one month to harvest all the crops!" No delays! ”
"In addition, the air defense forces of various cities will be reduced, dispersed to the vicinity of large agricultural areas, and air defense units will be dispatched to station!"
"Yes!!"
Chen bit his thumb and pondered, "What the hell are those things?" ”
