Chapter 537 Chapter 537

When the first ray of sunlight hit the airport runway in the morning, the fighter pilots of Tang Jun rushed out of their barracks with a voice of order.

The ground crew had already made preparations, and they checked the plane with the help of lights before dawn.

The FW-190 fighter jets that took off this time had two 250kg bombs mounted under the belly of the aircraft. They were going to completely paralyze the target that they had forgotten yesterday.

Soon, the engines of these planes began to roar, and the propellers began to rotate rapidly. The plane at the front had already aimed its nose at the takeoff runway.

The first FW-190 roared to the end of the runway, where it soared into the sky, followed by a second and a third.

All the planes were formed in the sky, and then they rushed towards the Qi army's defense line in the distance.

The ground troops of the Qi army who had just woken up were dumbfounded. They just got up from the bed when they saw the scene that terrified them. They had already seen it yesterday.

Dozens of planes passed over their heads densely, and the engines of the planes in the shape of "士" roared, just like this, they rushed past where they were.

Everyone prayed silently in their hearts, praying that these planes would not suddenly lower their altitude and then return to their positions.

It is very gratifying that their prayers seem to have had an effect. The Tang army planes that flew over early in the morning with murderous looks obviously did not intend to attack their positions.

These planes roared and flew into the distance, and disappeared on the horizon without looking back, which made all the Qi troops secretly heave a sigh of relief.

"These damned guys... where did they go to blow up?" A soldier of Qi State said frightenedly holding a weapon.

"What do you do with so many, as long as you don't bomb us, you can bomb wherever you like." Another Qi soldier said.

"Don't worry, I heard that our main force is preparing to counterattack, and the Tang army will be finished soon!" The squad leader in Qi's position looked at the Tang army's plane gradually going away, and confidently comforted his subordinates.

……

Some people are lucky, some people will be unlucky.Behind Qi's position, an airship had just dropped its rope and began to lower its altitude.

The attack last night was obviously very unsuccessful, so the returning airship is landing cautiously.They carry a lot of ammunition and have a lot of hydrogen overhead, so they are very fragile and dangerous.

It is still very troublesome to land this thing, and it often takes more than 40 minutes for an airship to land.

The good news is that a large amount of hydrogen has been released, because the airship has to lower its height, and coordinate with the operations on the ground, and dock next to the special building a little bit.

Inside the building, there are machines for preparing hydrogen, raw materials are piled up, and there are power plants and ammunition depots next to it.

In short, this is a very complicated and professional special "dock", which is the base that must be built to use airships.

At this time, the entire base was busy.Even if the airship returns early, it still takes a lot of time to deal with these returning big guys.

While he was busy, a guard sentry deployed outside the airship saw Tang Jun's plane rushing towards him in the distant sky.

In order to attack as deep as possible into the enemy's country, most of the bases of airships are also built very close to the front line.It is actually less than 60 kilometers away from the main line of defense of the Qi army.

Coupled with the distance from the Tangjun Airport to the defense line and the slanted route, the actual distance between the two sides is only about 150 kilometers.

A fighter jet with the speed of the FW-190 only needs less than 150 minutes to rush 20 kilometers at most.In fact, Qi Jun couldn't react at all, and Tang Jun's plane was already close at hand.

"That's that? Tang Jun's plane?" Yesterday's attack has spread the word plane among Qi's army. Those who have seen it but have not seen it are now talking about such a tall weapon.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Another Qi soldier immediately began to shout loudly, reminding his companions to get ready for battle.

But when he looked back, a desperate scene came into his eyes: the huge airship was still hovering in mid-air, and the cables thrown from the airship were still bending and shaking.

The fragile factory building was so exposed, and even the roof was painted bright red to avoid collisions when the airship landed.

No joke at all, apart from a few anti-aircraft guns and a few machine guns from the ground security forces, there may not be any forces here that can participate in the battle at all!

"Quick! Get the machine gun position ready!" The desperate officer on duty of the Qi Army hurried over, rushed to the front and ordered loudly.

At this time, Tang Jun's fighter jets had rushed in front of them, and at the same time began to adjust their formation, diving down one by one.

"It's over...it's over..." the officer of Qi State murmured, looking up at the enemy planes in the sky, he had no thoughts of struggling at all.

……

In the sky, in the small and cramped cockpit of the fighter jet, the pilots of the Tang Army flew slightly obliquely and looked down at the targets on the ground.

He saw the glowing red roofs, and the slender white airships that seemed to be docked on the edge of the pier.

So, he started the attack without hesitation, and then reminded his wingman on the radio to keep up with his pace: "I started to dive and drop bombs! I started to dive and drop bombs! Follow me! Pay attention to ground firepower! You are in charge of suppression!"

"The wingman understands!" The voice of the wingman pilot came from the headset, and then the two planes turned their heads and swooped down toward the ground: "I'm following you! Pay attention to the altitude!"

In an instant, the two planes found the target, and they pulled down the bomb-dropping handle at a height close to the critical point. The two 250-kilogram bombs broke away from the pylons and rushed towards the ground target relying on inertia.

There was retaliation from the ground, but unfortunately, the shells of the 76mm anti-balloon cannon could not keep up with the plane, and they had been dumped somewhere long ago.

If a plane was hit by a 76mm anti-balloon cannon and crashed at this time, then it cannot be said that the opponent's artillery skills are superb, but the pilot's bad luck can only be blamed.

"Machine gun! Machine gun! Someone is shooting!" The pilot of the lead plane who pulled up and dropped the bomb reminded his wingman.

He just saw the enemy's tracer bullets, and the dense tracer bullets hit the sky, which more or less caused some trouble for the FW-190 fighter unit that was about to dive and attack.

Frankly speaking, FW-190 fighter jets are actually not very good at low altitude. The training the pilots receive is mainly fighter combat training, and the ground attack is only a temporary cameo, so most of the pilots of FW-190 fighter jets are unwilling stay at low altitude.

Therefore, when the machine gun fires over, most pilots will immediately pull up and change their path, avoid the attack and quickly recover the altitude.

Air defense and air defense, ten defenses and nine air defenses, the significance of ground fixed air defense firepower, in fact, the most important thing is to force the air strike enemy to give up the target, and then preserve the strategic target it wants to protect.

To put it bluntly, the meaning of anti-aircraft firepower is not to shoot down enemy planes, but to interfere with enemy planes so that enemy planes cannot attack targets.

As long as the airport, factory, and bridge are protected... the anti-aircraft guns are considered to be winning, and it has nothing to do with how many enemy planes are destroyed.

Therefore, just starting from the results, it is obvious that the several machine guns arranged by the Qi army on the periphery temporarily played the role of air defense, which still played a role in disrupting the bombing of the Tang army.

It's a pity that these peripheral anti-aircraft machine guns are too far away to really cover the airship base, so their role can only be said to be extremely limited.

After finding, or testing out, the locations of these machine guns, the Tang Army fighter units began to bypass these fixed firepower points and continued to attack the eye-catching airship base.

At this time, the bombs that were thrown first also fell on the places where these airships and airship bases were located, and exploded, destroying everything around them.

The huge explosion suddenly collapsed the not-so-sturdy factory building, and the machines inside were completely crushed under the rubble.

This was originally a temporary front-line airship base, a place to inflate the airship and perform simple maintenance.Cyric didn't have time to build strong buildings here, and he didn't make any emergency repair plans.

After the first explosion knocked off the roof, all the Qi people around knew it was over, and this place was about to become a hell on earth.

Sure enough, the second bomb hit the airship outside the workshop at the same time, and the airship immediately exploded, burning into a huge ball of flames.

For the sake of cheapness and large-scale construction, the drawbacks of Cyric's use of hydrogen instead of helium to fill the airship emerged, and the explosion destroyed the entire airship base almost instantly.

The subsequent FW-190 fighter pilots were completely dumbfounded. They found that because the target exploded so violently, they couldn't find a way to continue the dive attack.

Flames are churning everywhere, explosions are everywhere, and burning air waves are everywhere. The airflow near the entire airship base is already unstable, and every time it approaches the plane, it will shake violently due to the transpiration of the airflow.

It is not an exaggeration at all, the pilots in the few planes that dived and dropped bombs just now wondered if they had blown up a huge ammunition depot.The explosions under their feet have been connected together, and the size is a bit scary.

This feeling is like stabbing a large artery with a knife, and the blood gushes out uncontrollably, not only killing the other party, but also frightening the criminal who stabbed the knife...
