Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1369, Ghost

Online Q&A:

You have a fighter jet.

The combat radius is approximately 400 kilometers.

Prepare to install four 12.7 mm machine guns. The ammunition reserve is about 2200 rounds.

It can carry two 250kg aerial bombs as standard.

Or overloaded. Mounted two 500 kg aerial bombs.

Or mount two torpedoes.

How to choose?

The first level is difficult.

Torpedoes are used to attack warships.

There may be Japanese warships outside the Yangtze Estuary. But not including aircraft carriers.

The Japanese aircraft carrier temporarily headed east. Has left the Chinese coast. It may be that combat missions are handed over to land-based bombers.

If no Japanese warship is found at the mouth of the Yangtze River and the aircraft has insufficient range, it will be in vain.

In the end, it was decided to mount aerial bombs...

All-rounder.

You can attack any target.

"Commissioner..." Meng Yufan hesitated.

"What do you want to say?" Zhang Yong was busy inserting the machine gun roughly.

"The original equipment seems to be a 7.7mm machine gun..."

"I like the big ones."

"oh…"

Meng Yufan has seen it all.

It turns out that aircraft modifications can be done like this.

What a miracle!

Aren't you afraid that you can't control it?

It's absolutely impossible if you follow the instructions.

but…

Whatever the Commissioner says is what it is.

Anyway, it was the Commissioner who finally flew the plane into the sky.

In fact, Zhang Yong is not fooling around.

The aircraft of this era were not as sophisticated as those of later generations.

In many places there is enough margin. The purpose is to modify it as needed.

Different customers have different needs.

Even the same customer may have different needs.

The original configuration is a 7.7mm machine gun. If the customer feels that it is not powerful enough and needs a 12.7mm machine gun, it must be modified.

Therefore, in terms of the most original structure, room for modification has long been reserved.

No need to go to war, just replace it directly.

Therefore, Zhang Yong's crude modification has the same effect. It's just that the workmanship is extremely rough.

If you can't fix it with screws, use iron wire.

Power works miracles.

The wire is wound dozens of times. Tied tightly.

The trigger switch is not in place? It doesn't matter. Also hooked with wire.

As long as it hits the mark.

In fact, all that needs modification is the machine gun.

Other aerial bombs and the like have fixed hardpoints. Just two. Cannot be increased.

Overloading is definitely overloading.

Is there any fighter jet that is not overloaded?

Especially in the hands of his Commissioner Zhang Da.

Since it can hang 500 kilograms of aerial bombs, how can it be possible to hang 250 kilograms?

The former, even if it is dropped, can still create a 400-square-meter hole in the ground without exploding. This is the foundation of my rabbit.

The system's transport ship delivers the ammunition to the Longjiang Shipyard.

There is a small canal here that communicates with the Yangtze River outside. A shipyard must have waterways!

A 500 kilogram aerial bomb needs to be pulled by a pallet truck.

Fortunately there are people.

The guards are all young men.

Pushing and pulling at the same time, he pushed the bomb next to the fighter jet.

The rest are Longjiang Shipyard's own tools. Pulley blocks and gantry are all there. Shipbuilding needs.

Moved over temporarily to help mount the aerial bombs. It's actually not that difficult.

The load-carrying tools left in the shipyard are used to hang a few aerial bombs. It is simply a piece of cake.

All done quickly.

Then add oil. Artificial. Instead, it took more than an hour.

Busy and busy, night falls. It's getting dark.

Finally, it's all done.

Look at your watch. Half past six in the evening.

Can take off.

winter. It was completely dark. Good for hiding.

Where to target?

Shanghai Longhua Airport.

The Type 96 land-based attack aircraft of the Japanese Navy's Red Deer were stationed there.

The world map shows that the Japanese aircraft carriers have evacuated from the coast of China. Therefore, aircraft carrier-based aircraft will not participate in the war in the short term.

If the Japanese aircraft wanted to launch a bombing, they would definitely use these land-based bombers.

Kill some of them yourself in advance.

Destroyed directly at the airport.

The straight-line distance from Jinling to Longhua Airport is about 300 kilometers.

One round trip, that is, two hours.

If the speed is fast enough, you can even make three or four trips a night.

Winter nights are long. It’s only dawn at six o’clock in the morning!

The land-based bombers of the Japanese invaders cannot escape at night, so they can only be bombed in vain...

hey-hey.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became.

Can't wait to take off.

Full of energy.

Board quickly.

Enter the cockpit. Play with the dashboard.

Simple check. No abnormalities were found.

So it started.

"Get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way!"

Meng Yufan directs from the ground.

He raised his hands. Indicates the runway is clear.

However, there is a trace of worry. It’s just that Zhang Yong is overloaded. May have difficulty taking off...

Of course Zhang Yong knew that he was overloaded.

so…

come on!

Push the accelerator all the way!

It's a direct burst of power.

Don't pity me just because I'm a delicate flower...

Make a mistake.

There is no need to take care of it so carefully.

The biggest advantage of the BA65 fighter jet is its super powerful engine.

A full 1,000 horsepower!

At the time, it was definitely the best of its kind.

The later famous Zero carrier-based aircraft had engine horsepower of less than 1,000 horsepower.

Fortunately, there is this fatal weakness. It greatly limits the various extreme performances of Type Zero. Otherwise, Type Zero will be even more arrogant.

High horsepower. Flying bricks with great strength. So, stand up and kick!

"Boom boom..."

"Boom boom..."

The engine made a deafening sound.

The wings of the plane were shaking violently. Meng Yufan next to him was worried.

So cruel...

The Commissioner's driving style is too brutal.

This is not treating airplanes as human beings at all! I can't wait to step on the accelerator into the fuel tank.

Oh, the plane's throttle is not depressed. It’s push…

Explosive…

accelerate…

50 meters…

100 meters…

150 meters…

The plane lifts off the ground. Soar into the air. High elevation angle climb.

It's easy to pull onions on dry land.

"sky…"

"Is this okay?"

Meng Yufan was stunned.

It feels like all the skills I learned before were in vain.

If he follows the flight regulations, the commissioner will definitely be detained or even removed from the list.

Pulling onions on dry land like this is a red line warning!

"Huh?"

"Take off?"

Zhang Yong himself was a little surprised.

He was worried just now that the 300-meter runway might not be enough.

Unexpectedly, the powerful flying brick can take off only 150 meters away. At this distance, it can even take off from an aircraft carrier.

If the aircraft carrier accelerates and faces the wind, it can even shorten the take-off distance to about 100 meters.

In other words, at this moment, he has unintentionally acquired the ability to take off on an aircraft carrier.

By the way, what took off in Doolittle?

It seems like a B-25?

That one is much heavier than BA65.

The B-25 is a veritable land-based bomber! All can take off from an aircraft carrier.

If you have the chance, join in the fun yourself.

My mind is running wild with random thoughts.

The plane gradually leveled off.

Look at the fuel gauge and just remove a small bar.

Sure enough, the side effects of Li Da's flying bricks were a sharp increase in fuel consumption and a shortened voyage.

But it's okay. Very close to Longhua Airport.

Of course, I don’t dare to continue accelerating to the end now. Cruising speed.

Automatically switch to empty finger map.

Many targets flashed on the ground.

Mainly a heavy artillery position for the Japanese invaders. Including 150mm, 105mm, 75mm...

There are also Japanese tank troops. There seemed to be quite a few Japanese tanks.

Not only in the south of Jinling. It is also found in Guangde, Langxi and Wuhu areas.

There are also many in the Songhu area.

Especially the dock location. Maybe the Japanese invaders were unloading the goods.

In order to invade China, the Japanese invaders basically came out in full force.

In the Japanese homeland, only one division was left for defense. Everything else was sent out.

The rear arsenal is also operating at full capacity to make up for battle losses. Create more troops at the same time.

There are so many goals...

Endless explosion...

It can't be blown up at all...

It's better to bomb the Japanese aircraft first.

The Type 96 land-based bomber poses the greatest threat.

In terms of other heavy weapons, the 10th Artillery Regiment can at least be on par with the opponent.

Only if you encounter an airplane, you will die...

100 kilometers…

50 kilometers…

The distance is getting closer.

The instructions of the empty finger department are also becoming more and more detailed.

[Type 96 land-based attack aircraft]

【Thirty-two】

frown.

There are so many!

If we take turns bombing Jinling...

The consequences can be imagined.

Fortunately, I can strike first.

30 kilometers…

20 kilometers…

Start preparing weapons.

In fact, they are two different things. Machine guns, aerial bombs.

There are only two aerial bombs, each weighing 500 kilograms. The tonnage is still very impressive.

If an aerial bomb hits accurately, it will be very destructive.

The problem is...

How can I hit it accurately?

The aiming system of the BA65 attack aircraft itself is relatively backward.

Not even optical aiming. But mechanical sights. Need to be calculated based on height and speed. There is difficulty.

what to do?

Then just shoot with machine guns first.

There is absolutely no doubt about the power of the 12.7mm large-caliber machine gun.

So lower the height.

2000 meters…

1000 meters…

Landed directly to about 500 meters.

What?

Ground anti-aircraft firepower?

Not afraid.

It's night now. It was pitch black.

Even if the Japanese invaders had anti-aircraft firepower and searchlights, their anti-aircraft fire would be blind.

If he is hit in this way, it can only be said that Zhang Yong is unlucky. It's not that the Japanese invaders were powerful. It's that he has exhausted all his luck.

Study and judge the empty finger map.

I found that the Japanese aircraft were arranged neatly.

Craftsman spirit…

Waiting in line to die...

There were six of them in a row, right in front of him. Can shoot directly.

In that case, then...

Push the joystick. The nose of the aircraft lowered slightly.

The four machine guns were basically aimed at the Japanese aircraft on the ground. "Tu tu tu tu..."

"Tu tu tu tu..."

Fire without hesitation.

The bullets flew across the ground.

As the plane moves forward at an extremely fast speed.

Did it hit?

Didn't see it.

The ground is dark. Can't see clearly.

But it's okay. Continue shooting.

Suddenly, a ball of fire burst out from the ground, illuminating Zhang Yong's vision.

Oh, hit...

One day a Japanese aircraft caught fire.

Oh yeah!

good!

In that case, then...

"Tu tu tu tu..."

"Tu tu tu tu..."

Keep firing. Let the bullets fly by like crazy.

Theoretically, that row of Japanese aircraft should all be hit by bullets.

However, a theory is still a theory. Whether he was actually shot or not is unclear. The effects of the damage after being shot are also unclear.

If the Japanese invaders' planes were hit by bullets in the wings, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

Even if it hits the fuselage, if it is not a vital point, it will not be fatal with one blow.

Bullets are still bullets.

It's a one-hit kill for people. Not necessarily with counter-heavy weapons.

Sure enough, after the sweep, no more fire was found. It probably didn't cause fatal injuries.

what to do?

Of course, all the bullets are used.

"Tu tu tu tu..."

"Tu tu tu tu..."

Crazy shooting.

Until the prompts indicate that the bullets are gone.

Then,

Pull up!

Push the accelerator all the way!

Come to a dry land to pull onions again!

Back to an altitude of three thousand meters. Then flip.

do what?

Prepare to dive and drop bombs.

Since bullets are not powerful enough, use aerial bombs.

Because the sight is difficult to operate, the only way to improve the hit rate of aerial bombs is to dive.

Let the ground target and the aircraft form a straight line, and then drop the bomb at low altitude. The trajectory of the bomb is also almost a straight line. This will allow for accurate hits.

Dive!

accelerate!

See the fire on the ground!

The Japanese invaders haven't reacted yet. There was no anti-aircraft firepower yet.

The radar map doesn't seem to indicate anything like anti-aircraft guns.

Could it be said that the Japanese invaders did not deploy anti-aircraft firepower? Think you won't be attacked?

Too arrogant...

Unfortunately, there was only a ball of fire on the ground.

It was judged that only one Japanese aircraft was burning. And it doesn't seem to be fatal.

The airborne map showed that the row of six aircraft still existed.

This can't be tolerated.

More than two thousand rounds of large-caliber machine gun bullets!

Not even a single Japanese aircraft was killed? I won’t be too lazy to load machine gun bullets next time!

Maybe, I made a mistake?

Those machine gun bullets, maybe they are used in aerial combat?

If you use it to attack the ground, the effect will definitely not be good.

Dive directly towards the burning Japanese aircraft.

firelight.

Clear.

There were other Japanese aircraft nearby.

If the aerial bomb falls accurately, it may cause greater results.

No matter what, I have to kill a Japanese aircraft before going back. Otherwise, this trip will really be in vain.

2000 meters…

1000 meters…

The dive speed is extremely fast.

The height decreases rapidly.

Basically no action is required.

But it tests one's nerves very much.

Because when diving, the aircraft is getting closer and closer to the ground.

An inch short, an inch dangerous.

The closer you are to the enemy, the greater the chance of getting hit.

Even if the Japanese invaders did not have anti-aircraft guns, they still had 7.7 mm machine guns. Within a few hundred meters, there is still a threat.

800 meters…

600 meters…

Zhang Yong decisively dropped the bomb.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Mount unhooked.

At the same time remove the bomb fuse.

Free fall.

The small propeller fuse on the tail of the bomb began to activate.

A violent impact, or the small propeller stopping, will detonate the bomb. Double detonation method, you deserve it.

wrong…

It continues to rush towards the goal with huge inertia.

Pull up.

thrilling.

Getting closer and closer to the ground.

Doesn't seem to be pulled up?

Breaking into a cold sweat.

Grass…

Is it going to hit the ground?

No!

I can't be killed like this!

Not reconciled…

Let's die in a more heroic way...

I'm so sorry for dying because of improper operation...

Fortunately, the plane was finally pulled up.

In the end, it almost skimmed the ground. The lowest height is only fifty meters.

So dangerous…

Too sloppy.

The height of the dive bomb was too low.

The meter shows 600 meters, but it will take time for the bomb to decouple.

In fact, by the time you pull yourself up, you may already be less than 500 meters away. The BA-65 fighter jet is very fast. Something almost happened.

Pull up.

Pull the onions again on dry ground.

Suddenly something was wrong.

Oops…

The plane nearly flipped over.

Forgot. The bombs have been dropped.

The total weight of the two aerial bombs is one ton! It's a very heavy burden.

Before, we carried aerial bombs to pull onions on dry land. There are no aerial bombs now, so it is naturally different. The same operation almost happened again.

sweat…

A novice is a novice after all.

I've never done it in actual combat before.

Although there are systematic perfusion of aircraft operating skills. However, if you want to fully release it, you still have to practice it yourself.

My brain already understands. You also need your hands, feet, and body to keep up.

Otherwise, he will be like Sheng Lihao.

Turn around and observe.

A huge light burst out from the ground.

It must have been an aerial bomb explosion. But no sound was heard.

At an altitude of three thousand meters, the sound from the ground is almost inaudible. blown away by the cold wind.

Just one feeling: cold.

winter night.

high altitude.

The temperature is judged to be below zero.

He didn't wear a specialized flight jacket. No preparation.

There is none in the portable space either.

I temporarily wore two thick sweaters. Still feeling chilly.

Heartbroken…

Doesn't it work?

Did you come here for nothing tonight?

[Type 96 land-based attack aircraft destroyed: 3/32]

Finally, the system sent a prompt.

oh…

not bad.

Three were destroyed.

The aerial bombs are really powerful. It must have been a direct hit.

It's three of them when they explode!

good!

good!

Very satisfied.

Return.

Reload and try again.

Just two bombs, too few.

If there is a J-16...

Hang on all over.

The bomb truck didn’t get its nickname for nothing.

Unfortunately, no.

I have no choice but to make more trips and run back and forth.

In fact, this is not bad.

They came and went without a trace, leaving the Japanese invaders confused. Can't tell what happened.

Better to be suspicious. Mutual suspicion.

accelerate!

Return!

…

"Rumble..."

"Rumble..."

The aerial bomb fell on the ground and exploded violently.

In fact, the aerial bomb did not accurately hit the Japanese aircraft. Instead, it exploded dozens of meters away.

However, the shock wave and debris generated by the explosion are still terrifyingly destructive.

The three closest Japanese aircraft were destroyed on the spot.

The other three planes were also damaged.

"What's going on?"

"Whose plane?"

"Baga! Where did the plane come from? Whose plane is it?"

The Japanese invaders on the ground were in chaos.

The officers of the Japanese navy's Red Deer Air Force all looked at each other in shock.

It was judged to be a Chinese aircraft.

Only Chinese planes can come to bomb.

The problem is...

It's night now! It's dark night!

Where did the Chinese plane come from? Why can we sail at night? Can it still bomb accurately?

It’s unscientific!

I can’t figure it out!

Thinking of a series of things that happened before...

The battleship was torpedoed and sunk…

Mysterious plane discovered in Hangzhou Bay, unidentified...

Another ghost plane appears tonight...

Could it be said that there are really ghosts in the Chinese Air Force?

Don't dare to think too much.

Report it quickly.

"Nani?"

"Night bombing?"

Kiyoshi Hasegawa who received the report was also confused.

no…

That ghost in the sky appears again?

Is it the same ghost? It should be. That's the guy.

Initially, aircraft were used to drop torpedoes, which sank many naval warships. Then disappeared without a trace.

Thought he wouldn't show up. Probably dead.

Unexpectedly, now, it actually appears again.

Also dive bombed.

Also dropped bombs from high altitude.

Three Type 96 land-based attack aircraft were blown up. Three were injured.

The loss doesn't matter.

The Navy can still afford six aircraft.

However, the fear is that if the other party bombs the warship at night, it will be troublesome.

If torpedoes are released at night, another warship may be sunk.

In the dark, guarding against torpedo attacks really depends on luck. If you are unlucky, you will be shot into the soul.

Fortunately, the Third Fleet has left the Chinese coast.

As for Longhua Airport…

We can only order them to strengthen their defenses.

Arrange anti-aircraft firepower immediately.

Stand ready.

at the same time…

"Take off immediately after dawn!"

"Go and destroy the Chinese airport!"

"The focus is on Hankou and Nanchang!"
