Chapter 3808: Air gunboat

Aiji, Thebes, the temporary office of Lieutenant Colonel Sun Qing. The Koreans set up a project office specifically responsible for exercise planning. Sun Qing is the deputy head of this office. He is mainly responsible for the content of air combat exercises and mainly regulates air power matters.

"Sir, this is the information you need. We have spent a long time investigating." A lieutenant officer submitted a report.

"Yeah." Sun Qing looked at the report. He must first know how many aviation forces are stationed here. Especially the actual power, because the power on paper is always good-looking, but the actual situation is often very bad. Especially for military forces such as the aviation unit, the technology they rely on, if the technology cannot provide such support, their combat effectiveness can easily be compromised.

"What's the matter with the Army Aviation? They have six reconnaissance aircraft, but only three can take off. What's the matter?" Sun Qing still felt a little unacceptable when he saw the results. After all, the number of aircraft was too large. not enough. This means that they can only perform one wave of offenses at most, and in the middle it means that there is a large firepower gap. He is very clear about what kind of situation this situation will face. This is just an exercise. If it is really in the middle of a war, such a firepower neutral period will cause a lot of damage to the offensive, and this loss will increase further, but will not decrease.

"Sir, there is a lot of wind and sand here. It is difficult for our aircraft to adapt to such a situation. Many engines are broken. They have adopted various methods for maintenance, including replacing the zero parts on some damaged aircraft. Parts, they have tried their best. Sir." said the lieutenant.

"We originally didn’t have many planes here. In addition, there are only three planes here. The rear parts are inconvenient to transport. If we can provide more resources, I think there will be more planes taking off. ." The other party said so.

"Yeah. Okay. Air Force, can the airship of the Air Force take off? Are there any problems with them?" Sun Qing asked.

"Without a commander, they have few flying missions. Moreover, there are too many bad weather. Their airships have no problems. They can fly." The lieutenant explained.

"Yeah. Very good. In this case, many of our problems can be solved. Let's see how they are doing?" Sun Qing put down the report in his hand. He wanted to know the situation of those airships. The ammunition carried by combat aircraft was very small. Sun Qing didn't want them to solve this problem through a single flight. He needed to do a lot of things to solve this problem.

South Korean Air Force on the road.

"Sir, the Free Army officer from Aiji met me, and they said that they also want to participate in military exercises." The lieutenant said to Sun Qing. He knew that Sun Qing had a certain say. If you ask him to do such a thing, it will make their condition much better.

The Freedom Army has become a de facto security force, or the police force. They are more to perform some security tasks, other things they are usually unlikely to do too well.

However, some Free Army officers wanted to be promoted. They knew that the greater the role of the Free Army, their promotion channels would rise very quickly. They felt that this was an opportunity if the Koreans attacked the Ptolemaic government. , They are likely to go to the expedition. In that case, there will be many opportunities to make a fortune along the way. If they have military exploits, they will get a great victory. This is the biggest promotion capital for them, so I heard After such exercises, the officers of the Free Army expressed one after another. Their troops will have great combat effectiveness, they can perform some special difficult tasks, they are such tasks, they spend a lot of money, bribe officers who can speak up, lieutenant is one of them.

"Aren't they the security forces? What are they coming to join in the fun?" Sun Qing doesn't have a lot of affection for the Aiji Free Army. They are greedy, lazy, deserted, poorly disciplined, and they have many bad problems. Let such an army go. In combat, such an effect cannot be achieved at all. On the contrary, they may be very confused.

"This is a very important military technical exercise. There are many uncertain factors. Their military discipline is very poor. Under such circumstances, do you think they are capable of such a job?" Sun Qing shook his head and asked the lieutenant.

"Oh, sir, this issue can be omitted, but I think we should pay attention to other issues. For example, these Free Army soldiers are very important servants of us. In certain combat areas, Or in the combat area, we still need such an army to exist. Their presence will be of great help to us, and our government has always been doing this." said the lieutenant.

"Well, I understand what you mean. You mean, although we are fighting well in the war, sometimes, we still need these lazy and deserted guys to fill the number. Right?" Sun Qing asked the lieutenant. The lieutenant just smiled, showing that he agrees with this view.

"Okay. Although sometimes, I don’t agree to do this, but, in that case, it will make it difficult for us to do it. After all, they have recruited so many waste Free Army. Although they are useless, they manage their own place. , They still have their own set. Otherwise, how could we take over an area like them? The number of Koreans developing here is too small. Sometimes, we have to rely on such people to solve so many It's a problem." Sun Qing said helplessly about such a problem.

"Let those free troops participate in the battle, but to make it clear that they'd better observe the following military disciplines. If there is any accident, we can't be very responsible." Sun Qing said.

"Yes, sir, I understand what this means." The other party nodded and agreed. Soon they arrived at the air force base, the airship was being brandished for maintenance, and the bombs were also rolled out for wiping. There are many types of bombs, ranging from one-stone to twenty-five-stone bombs. Bombs are very powerful. If they accurately hit the target, they will cause a lot of damage, and one may even be defeated. But the problem is that the airship bombing of the Air Force has a very small probability of accurately hitting the target. They usually rely on intensive bombing to complete the mission.

"Bombing airships usually return by themselves after the bombing is completed. In comparison, their stay in the air is shorter than that of combat aircraft. Combat aircraft also need to be repeatedly strafed, and their situation, for us, is not bad. Not good news." Sun Qing said to the lieutenant.

"The sir's meaning is to let them reserve more time?" the lieutenant asked his sir.

"Yes, do you have any good ideas? We can't let them throw away their bombs and come back. In that case, our situation will be very bad, because the firepower is in the middle of the gap, you know. Combat aircraft need Refuel and reload ammunition. Some planes cannot perform a second flight because they need to check the condition of their planes. In many cases, the attendance of the plane will not take off normally due to the wear and tear of parts." Sun Qing said.

"Sir, I think we can replace these airships with some new weapons. The accuracy of the bombs is too low. And the task of bombing the airships is too easy. If the pilot throws the bombs indiscriminately and fails to achieve the goal, I think, The result will cause a lot of harm to us. In this case, we should replace them with more powerful artillery, or the Navy’s rapid-fire artillery to solve the problem, in this way, they can have greater combat effectiveness. ." The other party said so.

"Rapid fire gun. In this case, isn't it the same as Qin Jun's aerial gunboat?" Lieutenant Colonel Sun Qing said.

"Yes, sir, since Qin Jun has it, we have it, and the airship threat is very small. They can stay on it for an hour or longer. With such time, I think the plane will They flew back, and then they continued to fight, the airship went back to carry ammunition, and then fought again. In this case, the firepower gap period will pass, or it will be directly reduced a lot." The lieutenant said.

"Sounds great. I think it's a good idea. Under such circumstances, our airship and the time for exercises may be reduced a lot. The most important thing is that airships can bring greater killing effects. Let us become more intuitive. Very good, this is a very good choice." Sun Qing smiled and praised the lieutenant's idea.

In fact, this kind of idea was not the first lieutenant to come up with. South Korean grassroots officers and soldiers had this idea for a long time, because the time provided by fire support was too slow and the time was too short. Sometimes, it would take them to protect them. For a long time, this is naturally detrimental to them, but if there is an airship, they can easily solve such a problem.

But there is a prerequisite for the existence of aerial gunboats, that is, to control the air. If you do not control the air, this kind of airship will be difficult to survive, and it will become a living target for the opponent's fighters because it is very slow. The agility is also very poor. Although his gunboat has strong firepower, these are not enough to make up for such a shortcoming. They need to improve this technology in time, but for the present, this kind of firepower is enough for them to use. Because nothing can threaten them.
