889.Kirov Reporting - 3/10

Transnicia's militarization of airships began as early as when Captain Paula and Murphy reached a transportation agreement.

Paula divided one large, two small and three airships from her own transport company to arm the Translancian Administration, but considering Translasia's poor industrial capacity, this transformation could not be completed in a short time.

Before the start of the Black Plague, even the most optimistic commanders did not think that armed airships would be able to catch up with this big battle, but things always turned around.

Especially after a series of accidents, which led to the entry of professionals from other worlds led by Sister Cement, the progress of the armed airship transformation project can be called a rapid progress.

Although the experts who entered Transencia were skeptical about the destructive power of the armed airship, and they believed that it had been proven by two world wars and had a complete technical route, the airship project was still included in the first batch of local problems to be solved, given the current situation.

At present, the transformation of these three armed airships is actually not completed, and the most conspicuous feature is that they lack the main and secondary guns for ground attack.

There were still huge gun emplacements on the lower decks of the three airships, but they were empty, mainly because this type of naval gun could not be produced in Transcia, and the Genoese Peninsula was in war again, and even the powerful Lady Taylor could not smuggle it over.

But fortunately, the experts have completed the design and production of the airship bombardier, so that the players of the P Society, that is, the warmongers, who are concentrated on the three airships, will not have to stretch their hands out of the cabin to throw explosives.

And the transformation of these three airships does not completely follow the manufacturing ideas of the armed airships on the halfling side, the experts have their own arrogance, they just got the drawings in the hands of the old flywheel for reference, and immediately carried out a lot of detailed transformation, so that the carrying capacity of the three airships was improved and the safety was guaranteed.

After all, the weapons they were loading this time were not low-level goods like explosive bombs or grenades.

Take the flagship "Murphy's Hammer" as an example, this medium-sized airship that can carry a payload of 380 tons is currently 80% of the load has been replaced by an otherworldly version of the heavy napalm incendiary bomb produced by the Arsenal, which can completely set a small city on fire when fully used.

Therefore, there must be an element of braggaking in Serrak Fanta's rhetoric that he wants to burn the Maginot Line to ashes, but on closer inspection, his boast is not an exaggeration.

Lao Qin boarded the Murphy's Hammer as the temporary commander of the Air Force, and in order to show his identity, he also deliberately changed into a set of sky blue commander's cloaks.

The airship was full of KPA technicians in military uniforms, local technicians trained by the old flywheel and Sharon Assault, and some airship commanders seconded from Captain Paula to assist in the operation.

Qin Ye stood in the cockpit at the front of the airship, through the special glass placed on all sides, he could clearly overlook the bottom from a high altitude, and the command vision was perfect, but the dense levers, buttons and instrument control center on the control console made Old Qin numb, he was not a professional after all.

The halfling first mate beside him saw through Lao Qin's embarrassment, and considering the sky-high allowance he received in this support battle, the first mate put away the words he wanted to laugh at, coughed, and asked:

"Commander! Are we setting sail? ”

"Well, sail straight to the lord's position!"

Lao Qin waved his hand and said:

"Full speed ahead, we need support over there!"

'Order received!' The Murphy's Hammer Combat Airship has left the port, all staff members are requested to enter their respective posts immediately, and this ship will carry you to the battlefield at full speed! ”

The first mate gave the command through the loudspeaker, and then skillfully operated the console to let the airship leave the port.

Lao Qin walked to the flank of the command module and looked back through a special lens structure, on the left side of the flagship was the "Xingshang Dynasty" combat escort ship commanded by Serak Fanta, and on the right was the "Iron Heart Exterminator" support landing ship commanded by Soy Milk Bai.

Its flagship is a full-time bomber, and the three airships have been transformed by professionals to form a fairly classic air fleet, and the combination of the three parties can barely raise the tactics of the air force in Translancia from the level of World War I to the level of World War II.

Of course, the two frigates were also loaded with incendiary bombs with more than 80% of the payload during this special operation for ground bombardment.

The three airships have basically covered the production capacity of the arsenal in the past few months, but the bombing concept is destined to take the numerical advantage from the moment it is born, and saturation bombing can make this method of operation highlight the real power, and it is difficult to achieve basic tactical support with a single aerial bomb carried by the vampire air force.

If you want to achieve a final word at the strategic level, you still have to use this kind of "air arsenal".

The speed of the airship is very fast, and the straight-line distance between this town and the lord's position is only a dozen kilometers, and it can be reached in twenty minutes at most, so Lao Qin didn't waste time and picked up the fixed walkie-talkie placed in the cabin, and ordered to the captain of the third ship:

"When our fleet arrives on the battlefield, the flagship and merchant dynasty will immediately carry out bombing missions, and your ship will be in positions to contain the airborne troops. The airship doesn't have to land, I arranged for the vampires to bring the Airborne Troopers into your deck, equip them with the necessary armaments, and enter the battlefield to carry out the 'Air Decapitation' plan as originally planned!

Our ship will cooperate with the battlefield airborne landing that you will execute. ”

"Order received!"

The current backbone of the war criminals of P Society, the spokesperson of this rising hawkish organization, responded in a formal and unconcealed excited tone:

"Our ship will definitely complete the first large-scale airborne combat mission in Transnesia! But I begged that the head of the slain Great Overseer be given to me as a trophy, we love this kind of victory. ”

"Uh, what a weird fetish, but it's negotiable."

Lao Qin replied:

"Perform decently, anything can be discussed."

"It's easy to say, let's see how we perform."

Soy milk replied confidently, and then the communication was temporarily hung up, and Lao Qin also released his own weapons from his bag and began to put them on, which made the first mate who was driving the airship say suspiciously:

"Do you want to play as a commander?"

"I'm just a name, and I'm not familiar with Air Force tactics."

Lao Qin waved his hand very modestly and said:

"Besides, the gnoll and I still have a blood feud in mind, and I understand the truth that although I am old, I will not take revenge overnight."

He clutched the brutal scarlet chainsaw sword in his hand, and looked at the gloomy canopy in front of him, as if he could hear shouts and roars from the position.

He whispered:

"I don't want to prove anything, but I will take back the reputation that has been taken away by the gnolls with my own sword!"

"I can feel your heart beating unusually faster as I stand here."

The first mate of the bust whispered:

"I don't know how to divide the health of these heroic spirits, but I advise you not to take any chances."

"Hmph, if you don't finish this battle with your own hands, you can't even look at Lao Tzu when he dies."

Lao Qin touched his heart.

He could feel his heart pounding, and he knew that his body might not be able to hold on, but please. The heart that has been with me for more than 60 years, please hold on a little longer! At least let me see that victory with my own eyes.

"It's about to enter the battlefield area! The bomb hatch on the lower deck opens, and the visual sight is activated! ”

The first mate shouted, and a device similar to a submarine periscope popped up in front of Lao Qin.

Qin Ye stepped forward and grabbed the handles on both sides to enter the observation mode, and the mirror in front of him took in the ground situation, and there was a special sign used to lock the bombing area and target, and the scale mark would change with the altitude and speed of the airship, so as to calculate the amount of advance to make the bombing more accurate.

This is also a relatively simple fire control system, and the bust chief complained:

"The things you've designed are powerful but brutal, and I can't understand this kind of mechanical system made specifically for efficient killing, but I can be sure that the engineering development on your side must be in the service of war, and you are the legendary 'war people'?"

"Pretty much."

Qin Ye adjusted his observation position, and as the airship entered the lord's position and began to descend into the bombing altitude, he said casually:

"In a total of 5,000 years of history, at least 3,000 years of war have been fought, and there is nothing wrong with you saying that we are a war nation, but technology and machinery are always tools, there is no good or evil, it still depends on who is using it.

The target of the first round of bombing has been locked, and the bomb drops after the altitude is lowered to the predetermined position!

Try to be as steady as possible and maintain a low-speed cruising attitude, first mate!

I don't want to blow up my own people. ”

On the battlefield below, with the support of the player's army, Murphy and Kudell have begun to push forward with difficulty, but the gnolls did not give up so easily, mainly because the number of armies they bet on was too large, and the gnolls in front of them could not retreat if they wanted to.

In order to maintain the pressure of the advance, the Grand Overseer who was hiding in the army even joined the Overseer.

"Look at the sky! Something is coming out. ”

The blind eagle on the ground, who was following Murphy's assist, suddenly noticed something terrible when he looked up.

He screamed and caused the excited newcomers around them to look up, and then they saw that in the clouds above the heavenly dome that had been purified by the Eastern Holy Spirit once and turned brighter, there was a "big monster" painted black and red quietly emerging.

Tearing through the glass-colored clouds like a legendary dragon, he descends and reveals his true face to the eyes of players and Translancian soldiers in a calm and very powerful manner.

The cigar-like hull of a cigar hundreds of meters long was not huge when it appeared in the air, but as it continued to decrease in altitude, its true form was clearly visible to those with good eyesight, and some of the more discerning players had already cheered at the sight of the airship's balloons sprayed in a very artistic manner with blood-colored batwings and deliberately molded into a monster-like style.

"This is the secret weapon that Qin Ye said! Armed airships! Or two? No, three! ”

Yin Hu, who was leading the charge in the crowd, scolded:

"It's really strong! I know that the manufacturing players are not idle in the rear, and the 100-star monsters are out, and this battle will be won! ”

β€œKirov Reporting!!!”

Some of the older guys shouted the classic lines of the Kirov airship in their voices, and they cheered, and they all guessed what the airship was going to do as they looked at the airship that flew across the front line towards the gnolls' position.

"I said before that I had mastered the Heavenly Fire from the Other World, but many people still don't believe it."

Murphy also raised his head, looking at the black and red airship that had entered the bombing altitude overhead, he shook his hair with a sense of camera, let a certain player capture a perfect photo, and whispered:

"The gnolls will experience the wrath of the Celestial Fire from Translasia, and from now on, this vast sky will also be the new frontier of Translasia.

Come on!

Roar. ”

"Targeted! The bombing begins! ”

Lao Qin above the sky shouted and deducted the bomb throwing switch.

The thirty-nine bomb bays on the lower deck of the black-and-red airship were mechanically opened, and one by one the heavy incendiary bombs placed on the bomb delivery tracks entered the drop window, and they shimmered in the air with a cold light of destruction, the tips of which were painted bright red.

Some of the incendiary bombs also had "blessing words" painted on them by workers from the arsenal.

The first incendiary bombs whizzed down the airship's trajectory, gravitational pull faster and faster, and the buzzers placed on them also let out a hellish screech in the air.

The first incendiary bomb that was dropped grew larger and clearer in the stupid gaze of the gnolls below, until the moment it was about to fall to the ground, the gnolls saw the crooked line of text on the bomb:

"Welcome to Translasia, mongrels, welcome to Hell!"

"Boom"

The nulls certainly couldn't read the words, but that didn't stop them from feeling the malice filled with them from the huge flames that erupted later.

Amid the cheers of players and NPCs, an elongated line of fire erupts on the battlefield ahead.

The first round of bombardment of the thirty-nine heavy incendiary bombs lit up the sea of gnolls in front of the lord's position with flames and cut through the posture of incinerating all things, and under the blessing of the will of the lord of the hunt, the progress of the gnolls also paused for a moment.

And General Kudel, who witnessed all this, described it very poetically:

"The era of classical warfare, in pursuit of numerical superiority, is over at this moment"

"Boom"

The firelight from the second round of land bombardment carried out by the escorting Merchant Dynasty perfectly responded to Kudel's exclamation, causing the tribune to shake his head and charge forward with his heavy sword in hand.

He knew that the battle had been won.

In the rear position, General Flanders stared blankly at the armed airship that wantonly threw the fire of destruction on the ground like a fire god that dominated the sky, although he knew that it was the war beast of the Translancian people, but at this moment General "Vulture Claw" still had a kind of shock from the bottom of his heart.

He'd seen halflings airships, and he knew that the Transansians already had aerial bombs that could incinerate large areas in one go.

But he didn't think that the combination of the two would be so destructive and impactful, and as a true veteran and good commander, Brigadier Flanders seemed to have seen a future in which dozens of armed airships would sweep across the battlefield in formation.

He knew that the pattern of war had quietly changed, and that his old soldier really couldn't keep up with the fact that Transcia was trying to dominate the skies today, not on the wings of the vultures, but on something more terrifying.

It was at this moment that Flanders truly realized that it was time for him to retire.

But then that loss was replaced by an indescribable excitement, and he didn't have to feel sad about his exit, because Transia no longer needed the Blood Servant General to launch one attack after another on the enemy with armed Blood Servants in order to win a difficult victory.

My time is over, but the future is bright!

It is even more privileged to be able to witness this scene as a witness, and to be a member of the old era and the new era.

"Hahahaha! Our army has won! ”

The old general raised his sword and shouted with the greatest strength:

"Transencia dominates the skies, and our army has won! Soldiers, charge with me! Kill all your enemies! ”

At the same time that the people of Translansia were rushing madly towards the battlefield bombarded by fire with extreme enthusiasm, above the headquarters, on the deck of the Ironcore Exterminator hovering there, Soy Milk Bai Pour, dressed in a very strange commander's uniform, looked at the "Airborne Troops" who were sent to the deck by the vampires in front of him with a critical gaze.

He stretched out his voice and said:

"Our ship has been ordered to carry out the 'aerial decapitation' plan, and the target is the Great Overseer of the Jackals hidden in the depths of the position, and I don't want my ship to fail in the first battle, so everyone. Please behave decently in a moment! ”
