Chapter 634: Aerial fire attack

After the naval aviation was transferred. The naval combat forces began to take targeted military strikes and strike plans against the Chu State Navy.

Zhang Han served as the navy's mid-level combat staff. Put forward a specific battle plan.

The middle and lower-level officers of the Navy come from the Naval Academy. The senior level comes from experienced officers transferred from the Army. Although it is part of the army transfer. But naval combat missions are fairly consistent.

Zhang Han first analyzed the favorable situation between ourselves and the enemy. From the current point of view. The two sides entered a stalemate. The advantage of Qin Haijun lies in land and air. After the surface lost all surface ships. No longer have new advantages.

The shore fire artillery on land played a major role. With the arrival of a large number of new artillery. And the laying of telephone lines and telegraph lines. The artillery range has been significantly improved. The Qin Navy and the Marine Corps built coastal defense forts on both sides of the Yangtze River. That section of water is basically sealed off. Especially during the day. The actions of the Chu State Navy were basically effectively contained. Chu's navy no longer freely enters and exits the Yangtze River waters.

But then. Chu's navy adopted a night sneak attack. They used small boats to carry soldiers with good water to land quietly at night. Then he attacked the Qin Army's shore fire artillery. This kind of special operations similar to the frogman has played a certain combat effect.

They successfully attacked two Qin Army coastal defense forts. But the other party also paid a heavy price. They stepped on a landmine during a sneak attack on a Marine Corps artillery position. Then under the firepower of carefully arranged machine guns. The 35-man sneak attack troops were all killed. Since then, the Navy’s coastal artillery and the Marine Corps have strengthened their vigilance. Plant a large number of warning mines. Sneak attacks are gradually decreasing. However, night landings happen from time to time. They began to attack the Qin Navy Shipyard.

In order to contain. Qin Jun had to use searchlights and flares with parachutes for key protection at night. Under such specific protection measures. Qin Juncai initially stabilized the situation.

But this also taught Qin Jun a lesson. This is beneficial to Qin Haijun who has no experience in water warfare.

Domestic attention to the situation in the South has been reported since. There is no transfer. Especially for futures trading. Raw materials have forced South Korea’s investment activities to slow down. A large amount of silk comes from the southern state of Chu. Especially the import of non-ferrous metals such as copper. Under the pressure of domestic public opinion. The Navy must quickly resolve the current situation.

If the artillery moves the turret. The intervention of road forces is required. In this case, the war may expand. The above clearly informed the navy. It is impossible to extend surface warfare to land. Then the Navy has only one card to play. That is the naval aviation force just formed.

"Last time the navy taught us a lesson. This time we will go back." Zhang Han said to the staff.

The staff analyzed the current situation. The Chu State navy has absolute superiority in surface ships. They have more than a thousand ships of various kinds. In particular, there are three hundred ships of various kinds within one hundred miles around the Qin State Naval Base.

But the Chu State Navy had an absolute shortcoming. This shortcoming is also the fatal shortcoming of all previous navy forces. That is, the materials used to build ships are all wood. The last time Qin Jun was completely burnt because it was made of wood. This directly led to the Qin Army's direct upgrade of the ship materials.

Naval aviation will use the advantage of speed to carry out a maneuverable sneak attack. The naval air force carried out uninterrupted photo reconnaissance on the docks where the Chu State naval forces were anchored. The navy staff are mapping all the terminal information. Then make a specific battle map. Then proceed to a new battle plan.

The combat radius of the twin-engine fighter jets equipped by the naval aviation force can cover this area. This is due to the improvement of Qin Guo's gasoline technology. The use of leaded gasoline improves the combustion effect of gasoline. The power has increased a lot. In addition. The rapid increase in the number of engine cylinders is also one of the important reasons.

The twin-engine fighter has strong survivability. After losing an engine. Can barely rely on another one to return to the base.

The fighter's load capacity has also undergone a small-scale upgrade. The application of air-cooled machine guns has made a lot of space for the aircraft. The aviation unit can have more payload for refueling and ammunition.

In ammunition, a new type of incendiary bullet was developed. This kind of bullet is equipped with some ignition materials in the warhead part. In this way, the effect of the incendiary bomb is achieved. This ammunition is particularly effective against the use of wood. This ammunition was originally used on the Eastern Front to attack the food and grass gathering places of the Qi army. But the navy wants to attack the opposing surface ships. Priority is given to supply. In addition. The aviation bomb has also replaced the original common model. Use a lot of white phosphorous bombs.

In addition, a napalm bomb that weighs only one stone will also be put into use. This gasoline bomb does not use rubber and thermite. Instead, the orange water is frozen and then formed into a solidified state.

This napalm was discovered accidentally. However, Qin had a history of using napalm bombs extensively before. This petrol bomb is very powerful. In particular, active sodium metal is also added. In this way, even in the water. It will still burn. Powerful. In order to end the war as soon as possible. Qin State can be said to have used all the weapons and equipment that can be used.

According to war experience. Naval aviation requires a certain level of technical improvement to be on the stage of history. But now the conditions have changed a lot.

The opponents of naval aviation on the stage of history are large steel ships. But now their opponents have greatly reduced the technical level. Wooden hulls are easier to attack than steel hulls. Especially the fire attack.

Although the ammunition carried by the aviation force is limited. But it can carry a more powerful incendiary bomb. This is a huge threat to the wooden hull.

These two factors directly put naval aviation on the stage of history. The lack of surface ships of the Qin Navy directly prompted naval aviation to step onto the stage of history.

The intervention of naval aviation will temporarily make up for the lack of surface ships of the Qin Army. The naval aviation force will temporarily serve as an effective means of attacking Chu's navy.

But the naval aviation still did not board the surface ship. And strictly speaking. Naval aviation is only a land-based aviation unit. After the aviation is on board. In order to be considered as the formal independence of naval aviation. otherwise. Naval aviation is still in an awkward situation. But the navy has only just begun. And war is an effective catalyst. Although it is land-based. But sooner or later, it will board a surface ship.

Qin Haijun is integrating all factors into a detailed combat plan. The wharf becomes a burial place where the opponents' surface forces are concentrated on the destruction.
