Chapter 587: The first plane shot down

Time slowly entered March. Queen shopping does not mean to go back. Qin is busy in spring ploughing. Xianyang City talked about free love and simplified weddings.

There is a lot of heated discussion on this matter among the people. Although some young people boldly try. But basically they were opposed by the families of both sides. The society does not recognize it either. But Yingyu greatly encouraged them. Yingyu's approach allows free love and wedding simplification to a certain extent. The two sides are temporarily deadlocked. The deadlock needs to be changed. Change requires the intervention of new forces. This power is the newspaper media. Journalists, especially a large newspaper controlled by Yingyu, and three famous newspapers began to intervene. They waved the flag and shouted according to their boss's will. Public opinion in the newspapers began to appear oriented. For a time. The media began to interfere with domestic public opinion.

The domestic situation is stable. The air battle with the East formed a strong contrast.

Qin's plane did not reach Qin by means of transit. Instead, it uses the ox cart transportation method. The reason is that the traffic situation in Qi is really bad. Plus the landing of the plane is a technical activity. Many pilots were killed during the landing phase. In order to avoid such a situation from happening. The Qin Heavenly Army had to adopt this method.

A large number of military weapons also arrived at the same time. The revolver machine gun was replaced with a new water-cooled machine gun because of its cumbersomeness. Aviation bombs have also been aggravated. Five stone aerial bombs will be used for the first time.

The second day of March. The weather is unusually clear. Cloudless. It's a good time for a spring outing. But it is also a good place for air combat. About fifty hot air balloons in Qi were dispatched at once. There is no hot air balloon to carry two people. Space is a priority. They not only have to load fuel. There are also three wooden cannons reproduced. And a few stones of stones. Most of these Qi State Air Force pilots only flew for about three days. Qi Guo exerted his enormous productivity. Almost overnight, Qi State made more than two hundred hot air balloons. But his number of pilots is very small. Especially experienced pilots are very few.

Qin's Celestial Army has a special flying school. And there is a special management agency to calculate the flight time of pilots. But Qi does not have these. Most of the pilots of the Qi State Air Force come voluntarily or for a few acres of land. Qi Jun promised that you only need to enter the Qi Air Force. Just give you a few acres of land. This is almost a great temptation. The Qi army, which is mainly peasants, naturally has some people.

The Qi Air Force dispatched fifty hot air balloons at once. Under the stroke of two huge wooden blades, they slowly attacked the Yan army's position. They want to "bomb" the Yanjun positions.

Fifty hot air balloons are scattered widely. One is the level of training. The second is that their hot air balloon control effect is not very good. The bombing effect of fifty hot air balloons is not very good. Yan Jun evaded one after another. The slow-moving hot air balloon has enough time for them to avoid. But it attracted Qin Jun's plane.

The two Qin Army single-engine aircraft that had just arrived were ordered to patrol and inspect their aircraft. When reaching the edge of the Yanjun position. Suddenly spotted a dense hot air balloon in the sky.

The combat aircraft that entered the battle for the first time were eager to fight. Pounced immediately. The aircraft was not equipped with any weapons at this time. Especially the types of aircraft currently in service in Qin. Air-cooled machine guns did not come out. The water-cooled machine gun is a bit heavy. The aircraft currently in use is mainly used for battlefield reconnaissance. Plus the power problem of the engine. Therefore, the aircraft cannot carry heavier weapons. The only weapon is the pilot's gun.

The pilot of the lead plane made a gesture. Signal it to keep up. The pilot's face was very dark because of exhaust gas from the engine.

Two planes passed the hot air balloon group in tandem. Attack from the rear.

The pilot also knows. This is a light reconnaissance aircraft. Offensive weapon

Only the revolver in his hand. So the pilot launched an attack from the hot air balloon. Shoot a hot air balloon with a pistol. The Qi pilots also found each other. He immediately attacked with a wooden cannon in his hand. Attempt to knock down the opponent. But the speed between the two is incomparable. Cannonballs shot into the sky.

The aircraft attacked the opponent with a lower attitude. The first is the range of the pistol. The second is accuracy.

Qin's aircraft pilots have undergone rigorous training. They are also very bold. Often try to do all kinds of dangerous moves. They think that airplanes are the incarnations of birds. There should be the flexibility of the bird. The superb flying technique makes them almost close to each other's airbag. The pilot then fired.

"Damn it." Pilot Qin yelled. The bullet pierced the opponent's airbag. But the other party is a hot air balloon, not Qin’s hydrogen airship. This difference gives the Qi State Air Force hot air balloon great survivability.

The pilot continued to gesture. Signaled to attack again. This time the pilot will lower the altitude and shoot head-up with the opponent. Obviously. The pilot was bold enough to ignore the presence of the opponent's wooden guns and muskets.

The tragedy happened. The two aircraft attacked again. They will pass directly through the opposing team. This is bold.

The pilot fired again. The bullet missed. The pistol has only six rounds. The two only had twelve shots. The bullets went out very quickly. But Qi Air Force is not over yet. They also have wooden cannons. And muskets.

"Damn it. They still have muskets," another pilot called out loudly. Because of the difference in flight time. The one in front escaped the bullet. Cannonball attack. But the next one was not lucky. Or bad luck.

"Bang." A solid bullet directly hit the tail wing of the plane. The rudder was knocked out by two thirds. The plane quickly lost control.

"Buzzing" the plane headed down. The pilot was too late to parachute. Just hit the ground directly.

"Oh. Damn." The pilot looked anxiously at the wreckage of the plane on the ground. Qin's aircraft squadron was unfavorable. I was beaten by the opponent the first time.

this day. The Qi State Air Force will be a proud day. The Qin Kingdom's Heavenly Army felt very dull on his face. They were the first to be shot down in the air battle. There are many of Qin's heavenly army. But this first. I am afraid that no one wants to get Qin Tianjun.

Qi Jun felt very proud of shooting down something like a bird. Qi Jun on the ground cheered loudly. They won the first round.

If the plane was shot down, it is very possible to analyze it carefully. the first. The overall load capacity of the aircraft is still very small. This directly caused Qin's aircraft to be unable to load suitable weapons. Qin State only had a preliminary weapon platform. But there is no good weapon coordination.

Furthermore. The pilot is too bold. He even directly ignored the threat of the opponent's weapon. This may be the bitter fruit of Qin Jun's arrogance. The sky army has bombing airships. Afterwards, the aircraft felt that it could move independently from the ground forces. the fact is. Their Shangwen wings are still very generous.
