Chapter 761: The contest between artillery and aircraft

"Damn, the artillery of the Qi people is bombarding us." A lieutenant reported the situation to the flight department, and the lieutenant hoped to send the plane out to kill the **** artillery. After all, this kind of passive beating is uncomfortable.

"Huh." A shell struck again.

"We are very clear about this situation. After all, we can hear the loud sound of the artillery shells, but now, no, since the artillery can hit you, then we can also hit our plane." The flight department gave themselves. the opinion of.

"Damn it, if we can't defend the airport, you will be over." The lieutenant threatened.

"We understand this situation, but if you think about it, when we take off with such a long airstrip, it is very likely that a shell will hit us. Such a situation is not impossible." The flight department replied.

"We don't care, I only know that the only people who can kill those **** artillery now are those of you who fly planes." The lieutenant roared loudly. Because their positions are being bombarded. And it's very violent. More than twenty artillery from Qi State madly fired at the Qin army's position. This kind of concentration is the kind of concentrated shelling by all the artillery. In this regard, the Qin Army is all related to the Marine Corps. Taking into account the simplicity of the airport defense mission and the airport itself is a huge fire support system. The upper class of Qin State thought so. Because it is very easy to throw bombs from the air when a plane is flying. And it can use its advantage of rapid air speed to provide effective air fire support for its Marine Corps soldiers who protect ground operations.

There is nothing wrong with this idea, and air fire support can be provided. However, the Qin military's high-level officials obviously overestimated the level of air fire support.

Because engine technology cannot provide greater engine power. Therefore, the load capacity of aircraft, especially weapons, has been at a very low stage. Add some material restrictions. The mainstream airplanes of this period used skins and wood panels, and even some airplanes used materials such as plywood to make airplanes in order to reduce the weight of the airplane as much as possible.

It can be seen from these materials that the effective load capacity of the aircraft, especially the weapon load capacity, is very small. The specific tactical effect achieved by dispatching an aircraft is only equivalent to one mortar firing eight mortar shells. In addition, the aircraft fuel load of the aircraft is also very limited. The material of the aircraft is basically wood, which means that it is impossible to have the fuel tank of the aircraft in the wing of the aircraft to increase the range of the aircraft. This also directly leads to the aircraft’s inability to stay in the air for a longer period of time to provide effective air fire support.

It's not just about the load and range, but also the weapons of the aircraft. The aircraft’s only weapon is aerial bombs, but the power of aerial bombs during this period is still very small compared to ground artillery. The machine guns used are also less powerful than the ground heavy machine guns. The aircraft uses a .30 machine gun shell, which is more than enough to deal with infantry, but when shooting in the air and continuous ground shooting, the machine gun appears to be a little less powerful. But this problem has still not been discovered.

Various reasons have led to the fact that the actual air support capabilities of the Qin military are far from as high as the Qin military thought. Qin's military overestimated its ability to support air firepower. Under this overestimation situation, the military's weapons for the Marine Corps have a big loophole. That is, the Marine Corps is only equipped with a small number of direct-pointing artillery for flat-fire.

The Marine Corps has, but this artillery has a small number of shells. Compared to direct-pointing artillery. The Qin Army equipped with curved mortars, especially mortars, with a large number. But the problem is that the mortars simply cannot reach those artillery pieces. The mortar can only provide fire support at a distance of about 500 steps to 800 steps. If you go further. Then the accuracy will be greatly reduced.

At present, the Marine Corps officers and soldiers can only pin their hopes on the planes and their direct-fire artillery, which has a very limited number of shells.

"Take the phone, I'll tell them." A captain took the phone and said.

"Your problem is that the plane can't take off on the runway. Is it?" the captain asked.

"Yes, our plane may be caught by the other party's at any time..." the person from the flight department replied.

"Keep your dog's eyes open and show me a good look. Now the artillery of Qi Jun is focusing its fire on our side. You have a cannonball on your side. I don't care for your reasons. If you can't let the plane take off. I will. Let my artillery tilt all the shells on your hangar, I promise. Let your plane become a pile of waste wood." The captain detained the phone after speaking.

In fact, Qin's plane stopped flying on the day the Qi army encircled it, and the pilot believed that the plane might become the first target of the Qi army's attack. In fact, Qi Jun also thought so. But they don't know where the plane is. Because the airport has a lot of big houses to put down those planes. Therefore, Qi Jun began to estimate that the houses where the planes could be put down were the places where the planes were parked. Unfortunately, they made a mistake. The plane is parked on the other side of the plane tower. Qi Jun mistakenly believed that the warehouse area to the south, because there are many large houses in the warehouse area, those large houses are likely to store a large number of planes.

At the same time, Qi Jun believes that aircraft pose the greatest threat to artillery. Therefore, when they fired the cannonballs, they had already thought of launching an air strike like an eagle from the air. Therefore, they set the location of the aircraft as a key target. Unfortunately, their artillery shells are not a big threat to the big house. The first is that their range is not enough. Because their gunpowder power is really insufficient. The second is that Qin Jun's warehouse uses a masonry structure. Able to resist certain shell attacks. Add up the two. Qin Jun took a big advantage.

"There is no way, we have to give it a try." The flight crew reluctantly pulled off the phone and said.

"Well, let's move." A flying officer clapped his hands.

"Assemble, we have a mission." The flying officer shouted loudly. At the same time, the observation post provided the pilots with the data they could observe.

"Buzzing, buzzing." The plane began to make a huge roar.

"Are everyone aware of their mission?" the flying officer asked loudly.

"Understood, sir." The pilot replied loudly.

"Okay, good luck to you." The flight officer patted the pilots on the shoulder, and then signaled that they could take off.

"Buzzing." The pilot got on the plane and motioned. The ground crew drew the cork. The plane slowly slid out of the hangar and began to take off.

"Oh. God. Look at that!" a Qi Jun observation sentry shouted with a telescope. And pointed at the warehouse where the plane took off with his arm and shouted loudly.

"What is that?" a Qi State officer asked.

"Oh. No. Where are the birds of Qin Kingdom? Our artillery is dangerous." The officer shouted loudly.

"Stop shooting, stop shooting. The enemy's birds. The air threat." A group of Qi State officers and soldiers shouted loudly.

"What are you doing over there? What are you calling out loud." The artillery of Qi State had already noticed the situation over there.

"What do you want to do over there." A Qi artillery officer watched the group of people over there waving their arms.

"It seems to tell us something." An artillery officer held a telescope.

"It seems that something happened over there." As the artillery officer moved his binoculars. When he moves the telescope to that position. He suddenly discovered a bad situation.

"Fly, Fly Fly Bird." The officer shouted badly.

"What?" the artillery officer shouted. Then he noticed the situation over there.

"Oh. God. Get out of here." The officer recovered his calm. Then shouted loudly. At this time, the plane had already rushed towards this side.

"Run. Run. Flying birds are here." The artillery officer shouted.

Qin's plane took off four planes at once, and the sentry Qi Jun saw the third one, and the two planes in front had already turned their noses and rushed towards the artillery position.

"Damn, we shouldn't be so panicked." An older officer grabbed an artilleryman.

"Go back to me and push the cannon away from this place." The officer roared loudly.

"Infantry, shoot me into the sky. Shoot down those big birds. Don't let them drop bombs on our artillery positions." The officer shouted.

"Shoot, hurry up, shoot toward the sky, shoot." A Qi State officer in the distance yelled when he saw a low-flying plane.

"Bang. Bang. Bang." The rifle fired indiscriminately into the sky. The soldiers of Qi state hope that their rifles can knock down the opponent's plane.

"Woo." There was a roar of airplanes. The aircraft took advantage of its speed to quickly fly over the heads of the Qi army soldiers.

"Bang. Bang. Bang." Gunfire after gunshot sounded.

"Damn it, if you didn't run fast, I would have shot you down." A Qi army soldier opened the trap door and took out the bullet. Because there were no specific aviation measures, the soldiers of the Qi army did not expect to use the advance amount to shoot, and they had no experience in dealing with aerial targets. In addition, the initial speed of their weapons is somewhat low. Therefore, the air defense effect is not very good.

"Boom." There was a sound of cracking of the plank. A bullet was lucky to hit the wing of the plane, but because the wing is made of wood, the problem is not very big.

"Damn it. These infantrymen on the ground used rifles to shoot. They hit me." The pilot said without understanding.

"Now, **** you artillery guys eating the **** we lost." The pilot turned his attention to the artillery that was slowing a building.
