Chapter 560 560 Confidentiality
"General! The battle damage statistics are out. Indeed, one plane did not return. A Stuka dive bomber numbered 80095 crashed." In the busy air force headquarters, an officer reported the battle damage to Brahim .

"Has the wreckage been disposed of?" Brahim's first reaction was the leak of the aircraft's technology!This is a very important issue of secrecy. He doesn't want his enemies to create fighter jets that can fly in the sky so early.

Even a backward camel fighter is a real threat!Once these damn old-fashioned planes appear in the sky, there is a high probability that the fighter force in Brahim's hands will not be able to carry out ground attack missions.

However, despite subconsciously being more concerned about the wreckage of the crashed plane, Brahim immediately added, "Which pilot was sacrificed?"

"The ones who were killed were Second Lieutenant Truman and Sergeant Faraday, the apprentice pilot." The officer reported: "The wingman pilot Halsey and the fellow pilot Bracco confirmed that the plane crashed completely, caught fire and exploded."

"Has the cause of the accident been investigated?" Brahim asked again.

"The investigation is clear. The speedbrake was damaged during the dive, and the flap failed when it was pulled up. The plane went straight to the ground." The officer replied immediately.

The people below have been dealing with this matter for two or three days, investigated the testimony, and sent a plane to investigate and confirm.

After a low-altitude dive to replenish two bombs and found that the effect was mediocre, the pilots of these planes also brought back definite news: the wreckage of the plane had indeed been destroyed and could no longer be destroyed.

Of course, the accident investigation was also carried out very thoroughly. The engineers checked their design drawings, and the ground crew overhauled all the more than 160 Stuka dive bombers on the front line.

It was not until it was confirmed that there were no problems with these aircraft that the Stuka dive bomber unit resumed its attendance.

Yes, that's right, after nearly a month of fighting, the number of Tang Army's Stuka dive bombers increased instead of decreasing, and there were nearly forty more.

The main reason is that there is almost no battle damage, and there are a lot of supplements in the rear.The number of pilots on the frontline of the Tang Army is also increasing, so the size of the fleet is also expanding.

If you count the B-17, which has been frantically expanding production recently, Tang Jun's more than 300 aircraft on the front line have increased to more than 440.

The B-17 bomber has increased from 100 at the beginning to 150 today, and it is the type of combat aircraft that has increased the most.

On the contrary, the butcher fighter, which has no combat escort missions, has only increased by less than 30, because it has been used as a bomber all the time, which is obviously not suitable.

The Tang Air Force, which is in urgent need of ground attack weapons, wants the B-17 and Stuka the most, and it doesn't like the butcher very much.

"It's really not a design problem, it should be just an accidental failure." After briefly introducing the troubleshooting process of the ground staff, the officer finally concluded.

Because the planes that Tang Mo took out were all mature models, there would definitely be no problems with the design, so these weapons and equipment were quite mature from the time they were installed.

Tang Mo's golden finger effectively helped Datang Group's designers avoid the risks of exploration and experimentation, and infinitely shortened the time for technology accumulation and adaptation.

Therefore, the Datang Group was able to ensure the maturity and reliability of the technology while continuously launching new weapons and equipment.

"Be more careful! Avoid leaking our aircraft technology!" Brahim urged again.

He knew that even if a biplane fighter like the camel was sold on the market, countless buyers would flock to it.

Datang Group's aviation technology is too advanced, at least two generations ahead of the entire world!This kind of technological leadership is the guarantee of his invincibility as an air force commander, so he is so worried that his advantage will disappear inexplicably.

"In addition, where is the position of the engineer... We want to build an airport in Nanye, we must ensure the speed! Don't fight the war, we don't have a forward base yet!" He paused, and finally let go of the crash , Changed the focus, and talked about the airport construction issue to the subordinates around him.

"Don't worry, as long as our engineering team and ground crew arrive at Nanye, the airport over there will be ready to use within two or three days." Another air force officer in charge of this matter immediately replied.

Before the war between the two countries, Tang's intelligence department bought a manor on the outskirts of Nanye, and secretly started leveling the land inside.

Anyway, even if someone saw the construction, they would not guess that the land was being leveled to build an airport.Because at that time, no one in the country of Qi knew that there was such a thing as an airport runway.

Because of the advance construction, the airport in Nanye only needs to add some buildings to use it, which is very convenient.

It is precisely because of this advance arrangement that the person in charge of the construction of the air force airport has the confidence to assure Brahim so easily that his subordinates can quickly complete the construction task.

"Very good! This is good news." Brahim's expression improved somewhat, and he looked at the officer who had sent the pursuit analysis report before: "Go ahead according to the previous plan."

"Then do we still need to cancel our bombing of the Eastern Railway this afternoon?" The officer asked a question he cared about.

"No! Let's proceed according to the plan! Anyway, we are using the Flying Fortress." Brahim waved his hand and said.Flying Fortress is the official name of the B-17 bomber within the Tang Army, and this name was also given by Tang Mo.

As the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, Brahim knew that his troops were now big eaters of fuel. Every time these B-17 bombers took off in groups, they would consume a large amount of aviation fuel.

This kind of fuel is much more expensive than the gold burned in tanks and cars, and the ratio of the substances mixed is different, which is simply outrageously expensive.

If it weren't for a rich country like the Tang Kingdom, there might not be a patron who would be willing to use air power on such a large scale with such arrogance.Most countries are not even willing to use armored forces.

"Yes! Understood!" The subordinates immediately went to deliver the news. The bomber unit had to start preparing for the bombing of the Eastern Railway in a few minutes.

Thousands of bombs have to be hung on the pylons in the belly, the ground crew has to check the plane, refuel, the plane has to take off in formation, and it takes time to fly to the bombing area...

In fact, there are not many railways in Qi State, which are generally in the shape of a "gate".Starting from the bottom left are Luozhen, Nanye, Wangcheng, and Beiyuan.

Wangcheng is probably on the "point" of the word "gate", and the encircled imperial guards went to the middle of "vertical" to rescue Nanye.

And Beiyuan Port is probably at the intersection of Hengzhehook and the railway extending from Beiyuan all the way to the south. It is the location of "Hook", the Eastern Front War Zone, and the residence of the second prince.

It is precisely because of the "vertical" of the word "gate", that is, the section from Luozhen to Nanye was cut off by the Tang army from west to east, so Qi Wang Jiangxian ordered the distant second prince to lead the second army to detour to Beiyuan, Help the king city.

Now, Brahim is going to use a bombing to block the Qi State Railway south of Beiyuan, causing some troubles for the retreating Qi State Eastern Route Group.

……

On the other side, Tang Mo is listening to Loew's report in Anpu City, an important town in the north of the Tang State, the headquarters of the Tang Army: "Your Majesty, the 4th Armored Division has captured Nanye, and they have surrounded the Qi Army's Imperial Guards. If we can continue Going north along the railway, our army can threaten the enemy's royal city."

"Your Majesty, our military operations in Qi State have been quite successful. If the 2nd Armored Division can maintain the supply line along the railway, then the 4th Armored Division can enter Qiwangcheng and capture it." The general in charge of logistics supplies continued to add Said.

"The follow-up troops are moving north. Everything is going well, but there was a little confusion at the beginning." The general of the infantry immediately said.

Tang Mo squeezed his chin and listened to the introduction of his subordinates. He has been studying battlefield command recently, and finally has some understanding and opinions on the whole war.

At this time, the liaison officer of the air force also followed suit: "As for the air force, we once again attacked the Wangcheng Industrial Zone in Qi State. Now the only thing they can rely on is Beiyuan City along the coast."

"We still don't like Beiyuan's production capacity." Tang Mo still squeezed his chin, expressing his opinion: "Leaving it to Qi State will not have any impact on the battle situation, but when Qi State surrenders, We can take it and use it immediately, so there is no need to bomb there."

"Didn't the Air Force have a plan to cut off the railway going north to Beiyuan City?" When Tang Mo said this, he raised his head and looked at Loew.

"Yes, according to the plan, the air fortress will be launched today to bomb and destroy the railway." Loew replied.

Tang Mo nodded in satisfaction: "Yes! That's enough! Letting go of some Qi troops won't change the situation of the battle. What I want is to paralyze most of Qi's troops in their original border defense positions."

As he spoke, he pointed at the map: "The more Qi troops who are immobile on the border defense line, the easier it will be for our armored forces."

As the founder of the Tang Army, Tang Mo was not at all worried that Qi's 2nd or 1st Army would cause trouble for his troops.The only thing he didn't want to face was that Qi's [-] troops piled up in Wangcheng to fight him in the streets!

As long as the Qi army is exposed to the wilderness, as long as they don't use the most primitive scorched earth policy, Tang Mo won't worry that the battle will escape his control.

After finishing speaking, he pressed his palm on King Qi's city: "Now, this is the only problem left! Take King Qi's city and end this war!"
