Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 523 Chapter 523

The young ground crew stood at attention and saluted the pilot who had climbed onto the wing of the plane, and the other party returned him a standard military salute after getting into the cabin.

In front of the slender nose of the FW-190 fighter jet, the propeller slowly turned, turning faster and faster, and finally all the blades seemed to disappear.

In the tower of the airport, the commander pinched the communicator to remind the pilots to check the instruments on their planes, and the officer on the side of the runway directing the plane to take off waved the flag in his hand.

Pushing the output rod of the engine, the FW-190 fighter jet rushed to the end of the runway like an arrow off the string, and then the landing gear broke away from the ground and was slowly stored into the body of the aircraft.

In the slightly bumpy plane, the pilot leaning on the seat overlooked the land that was getting farther and farther away from him from the side, watching the buildings on the ground shrink to the size of a matchbox.

In order to support the offensive of the frontline troops, all field airfields were built less than 30 kilometers away from the frontline, so these FW-190 fighter jets have just begun to climb, and they can almost see the enemy's forward positions.

"Pay attention to the formation! Pay attention to the formation!" The pilot of the FW-190 fighter jet with an aerial bomb mounted on the belly hovered over his own airport, contacting his wingman by radio.

This is how he learned it during training. The two aircraft formed to cover each other, and used dives to drop bombs as accurately as possible to attack ground targets.

"Radio test! Repeat!" In the ground command tower, the commander holding the walkie-talkie looked nervous, because this was the first time he commanded his troops to participate in actual combat.

"The instruments are normal! The engine temperature is normal!" Above the sky, the pilots were also very nervous. They checked their instruments over and over again, and controlled their planes to form a larger flight formation.

Soon, a ground attack aircraft force composed of more than [-] fighters gathered in the sky and flew towards the Qi army's position densely.

Because there is no need to take into account the enemy's air force interception, all the planes are performing ground attack missions this time, and the fighter jets are also equipped with bombs, without using auxiliary fuel tanks.

……

Cyric, a steward hurriedly delivered a telegram from the Tang Kingdom to Sophia. He was very nervous, and his voice seemed to tremble a little: "My lord, the news just arrived..."

"What's going on?" Seeing how flustered her subordinates were, Sophia asked with a beautiful frown.

"Two days ago, someone, someone saw that there were countless...strange aircraft that flew to the front line..." The steward handed the message to Sophia.

Sophia took the telegram, and then continued to ask: "What are you doing? What happened two days ago, why did you report it today?"

The eyeliner she arranged in the Datang Kingdom cost a lot of money, all of them were reliable people, and the promised treatment was too high to be frightening.

In order to spy on Tang Mo's information, Sophia actually spared no expense.It was with great difficulty that she established an intelligence system targeting Datang that had begun to take shape, but this system made the intelligence arrive two days late at such a critical juncture!
"My lord, my lord! Tang Guo closed all the telegraph offices a few days ago, and the ban was lifted today...We, our people can only..." The manager in charge of intelligence quickly explained.

"Asshole! Didn't I send someone to send them a wireless station? Why not use it?" Sophia was a little bit annoyed, obviously she was unwilling to accept the other party's explanation.

"Well, according to your arrangement, that, that radio station was deployed in Tongcheng... But, but these, these aircrafts, at that time, did not go to Tongcheng at that time." The manager hurriedly defended himself: "It is Linshui The eyeliner saw it, and then immediately sent someone to send a letter to Tongcheng, and the people in Tongcheng sent the news."

"Aircraft...aircraft...It seems that not only us, but Tang Guo is also researching airplanes...Moreover, it is faster than our research." Sophia had a gloomy face, knowing that things were getting out of control.

She supported Qi's 70 airships, originally hoping that these airships could play a role at critical moments.

But now it seems that these airships in Qi State may have to face a very passive situation: the enemy actually has planes, and it seems that there are quite a few of them.

Combined with the previous legend that things like flying dragons can often be seen near Long Island and Dongwan Island, Sophia finally confirmed that the aircraft research of Tang State started very early and progressed quite quickly.

If Tang Jun really had so many planes, it would not be so easy to judge the outcome of this war.Sophia narrowed her eyes, feeling the pressure from the unknown for the first time.

……

"What is that?" Pointing to a small black dot in the sky, a Qi soldier asked his comrades beside him with a blank expression.

Obviously his comrades didn't know what it was, they just heard the hum of the engine and saw some dark spots on the horizon, a little bit closer to their position.

Then, everyone saw those weird weapons flying in the sky that looked like the word "Shi".

The Qi soldiers who didn't even know what was going on these days raised their heads and watched those black spots approaching stupidly, and then began to dive down from the sky one by one.

"Besides airships and balloons, have you seen anything that can fly?" A Qi army commander raised his binoculars to look at the black spots in the sky that came from the direction of Tang.

The officer standing beside the regiment leader shook his head. He didn't know anything could fly so naturally and quickly in the sky.

Seeing the black dots in the shape of "士" getting closer and bigger, the roar of the engine became more and more clear.

It's a pity that none of the Qi soldiers who saw the plane for the first time even reacted.Everyone just stood in the trench, looking up at the sky stupidly, watching those planes fly over their heads.

……

"Dive! Dive!" Inside the headset, the voice of the pilot of the lead plane roared loudly. The plane was violently turbulent due to the turbulence of the airflow. The enemy's position directly below the nose was full of panicked Qi soldiers.

"Tug-chug!" Without the slightest hesitation, just like during training, the pilot pulled the trigger, and the cannons on the wings began to roar, and a row of tracer bullets were swept to the ground.

A series of white smoke connected into distorted lines on the ground, and all the Qi troops near this white smoke suddenly fell on their backs.

The pilot who has long been proficient in everything pulled up his fighter, and the body of the bulky fighter with the bombs on it slowly leveled out amidst the howling, and then slowly climbed up.

For these Tang country pilots, they are already numb to such attacks. Since they changed into this new type of combat, they have to train similar attack subjects every day.

How to cut into the attack angle, how to fire at the most suitable altitude, and how to pull up the plane at a safe altitude have all become muscle memory for them.

"Om..." Because of the violent maneuvering, the sound of the engine suddenly changed, and the two FW-190 fighter jets covering each other climbed up one after the other, and left like lightning.

"Drop the bomb!" On the other side, the second batch of FW-190 fighter jets that cut into the battlefield found a high-value target on the ground.The pilots in the cabin gave orders loudly, and then simultaneously pressed the switch to drop bombs.

As the plane dived, the aerial bombs hanging on the pylon broke away from the fuselage with inertia, and hit the ground along the direction the plane was heading.

The suddenly light FW-190 fighter was pulled up like a butterfly, and walked away in full view.

The wingmen following the FW-190 fighter did not waste ammunition. After strafing the ground, they also pulled up the nose to avoid the fireball that had exploded on the ground.

Under the same weight conditions, the charge of an aerial bomb is much more than that of an artillery shell. The bomb mounted on the FW-190 fighter jet hit the ground and exploded instantly, rolling up a huge flame.

A black plume of smoke rose into the air, and a 200mm heavy gun next to the explosion point was affected by the shock wave and tilted to one side.

……

On the ground, Qi's army, unable to react at all, was completely stunned by the sight in front of them.They have fought all their lives, or their ancestors have been fighting for hundreds of years, but they have never heard of anything that can fight in the sky.

I used to think that the airship was almost the scariest air weapon in the world, but only today did they know what can be called terror!
There is no way to defend against those things that come and go like the wind, and there is no way to aim the anti-aircraft guns that were originally prepared for ballooning.

In order to pursue precision, the rocker arm, which was deliberately adjusted, rotated three times and the muzzle was only slightly raised by a few millimeters. How could this calibration speed be aimed at these whizzing things?

The soldiers of Qi State who had begun to despair began to collapse in an instant, because these planes from Tang State not only dropped bombs to destroy the artillery to attack the barracks, but even strafed the soldiers on the ground from time to time.

These demons soaring in the sky are like vultures, hovering over people's heads, swooping down to peck people's flesh and blood.

"They're coming again!" a soldier of Qi State ran away with his head in his arms, shouting in despair.And he was just one of thousands of Qi soldiers who were already in chaos.

They waited for their opponent for five days, thinking that what they were waiting for was enemy artillery fire and soldiers rushing up to die.

In the end, what they were waiting for was a strange bird that they had never seen before, that could fly over their heads and drop bombs!

"This... How can we fight this battle?" The commander of the Qi army, who watched the strange birds swoop down to drop bombs and strafed his position, looked at his deputy, his tone full of despair.

"I...I don't know..." His assistant also looked dull, as if his soul had been sucked out.
