Chapter 18 The Airship Turning Somersaults
In a wasteland rich in turquoise, a steam-burning helicopter flew quickly from the sky. The helicopter design of this world can refer to the helicopter designed by Da Vinci (specific pictures, Sogou pictures, Da Vinci helicopter), the spiral part of the helicopter on the earth is four pulp leaves, and this helicopter is a whole spiral leaf. It is like the stair surface that rotates up the stairs. The steam boiler pushes the thick spiral umbrella leaf to rotate, leaving a string of smoke in the sky.
Legend continues the world's large forces transported by airships. As for information transmission, ultra-long-range wireless telegraphs have not been invented, as for wired telegraphs. The industrial hegemony here is in the deep mountains, and it is too expensive to set up wired telegraphs. The forces on the plains are often the battlefield for various forces to fight, and wired telegraphs are very easy to destroy. Therefore, the communication structure of this world is similar to that of Chinese post stations. However, the post stations here do not use cavalry to deliver express messages, but use helicopters flying in the sky. This thing is very fast, and the area of Fanxi is only as large as the Taiwan Island. For example, the distance between two city-states on the Dilsey Plain where Rendi fought for four months is only 120 kilometers. Normal people walk four kilometers in an hour and walk for three days, and the cavalry can launch an attack on the next day.
But the fastest one is not the cavalry, but these helicopters. These guys flying in the sky are always much faster than those on the ground, one hour and two hundred kilometers, which is almost the same as the speed of high-speed racing cars on the earth. It is even more meaningful for the helicopters on the earth. But for the entire Vanci, it can be said that it is an extremely convenient messaging.
Rendi, Andrew and others, who were held by Miana, had no chance to be independent. What happened on the cliff of Fligro had been sent by the logistics officials directly under the command of the main force hundreds of kilometers away, and the combat judgement of the battle, more than a dozen times a day to the highest commander of the main force hundreds of kilometers away.
The base camp knew the series of things that happened in Fligo. The steam helicopter landed on the platform of the city-state. The pilot brought a stack of information to the office of the Supreme Commander. Giacomo picked up the information and looked carefully. General Calini on the side said: "What's wrong? What's the conflict between Lieutenant Andrew and Lieutenant Rendi in the cliff of Fligo." Giacomo said: "It has not affected the normal wartime development, and the two sides consciously suppressed the differences."
General Calini picked up the paper that Giacomo put down and looked at it and said, "It seems that Andrew gave up in this debate." Giacomo said, "He is the first military chief there, and he is directly responsible for the success or failure of the war there, so he is more conservative about the emergence of new weapons. This is also the right thing to do. When the correct answer is clear, he chose to change his clothes very decisively."
Kalini read the first-hand information: "The battle between Lieutenant Ren Di and Lieutenant Johor Bahru in the eastern mountainous areas, according to the captured gun barrels and sabers, as well as the battle report records, they fought at least thirty queues of enemies within twenty days and eliminated the enemies in seven combat queues. Before the raid, the main city-state transported airships 34 times per week, and the number of transports dropped to eight times after the raid. According to intelligence observation, the direction of airship transportation turned to the eastern mountainous areas."
With a thud, Giacomo handed over another piece of information in his hand to Calini and said, "You are looking at the information of the logistics officer. This is the report from Rendi. According to the situation they obtained from the captives, there is a general Batalio in the mountains in the eastern part of Fligol who has been resisting the violent rule of Fligol's #合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合�
General Kalini flipped through the information a few times again and said: "The actual operation of the attack war was led by the young soldier named Xincun. Ren Di and he worked with him to work hard on how to improve this elite grenade weapon."
Giacomo also read some of the information sent by Rendi, which detailed the shortcomings of the grenade launcher and heavy mortar weapon in actual combat. Looking at Giacomo, who became a mystery to the technology, General Calini reminded him: "The contradictions in the vanguard of Fligro's vanguard army have not been eliminated."
Giacomo looked up and said, "Lt. Andrew's first author has not admitted his mistakes and equipped large-scale light artillery in the army." Giacomo is a scientific inventor and is just a novice in general. Kalini is much more experienced. Seeing the discord between subordinates fighting on the front line, General Kalini said, "Before the raiding battle, Andrew's report to Ren Di was mostly for insufficient support for artillery, waiting for negative reviews. As for the specific shelling technology issues, our intelligence officials are laymen and cannot judge the specific reasons at all. So it is Andrew repeatedly emphasized that Ren Di deliberately delayed artillery support, or whether Lieutenant Ren Di emphasized that heavyweight artillery could not be mobilized in the mountain road, we don't know.
However, Ren Di completely abandoned the independent artillery requirement to implement light artillery tactics. Andrew's comments to us were not optimistic about it. He believed that Ren Di, who had no independent combat experience, would only ruin his limited defensive power."
Giacomo nodded and said, "At that time, you told me that Andrew's criticism again and again made Rendi doubt whether Andrew was doing business. But this should not be used to fight, and it is suspected of splitting the army."
Andrew said: "The fact is that Lieutenant Ren Di discovered an excellent combat officer, who turned out to be a less-ranked non-commissioned officer. And he made a detailed combat report public at the weekly combat exchange meeting. Andrew has not taken the initiative to ease his deputy since then, and has never shown any praise to Ren Di in the report."
Giacomo said, "Maybe he is just talking about the matter." Calini said, "The reasons for victory and failure should be discussed at the moment, and the military law should be discussed at the moment, but the commanders of the front-line army must affirm their comrades, especially excellent comrades. I smelled jealousy here."
Lens switching
The raindrop-like grenades fell from the sky and burst out shrapnel, causing chaos among the enemies who were fighting in the four combat teams in front of them. At this time of chaos, the two combat squads commanded by Johor Bahru ran into the chaotic team opposite as the explosion of shrapnel, and pressed over like a wall. Seeing this row of enemies running to him, the enemy who had just been destroyed by the raindrops of the flying bombs fired in groups of three or four. Three or four people in the Johor Bahru army were shot down, but there were only three or four people. A row of neat bullets aimed at the enemy who was at a loss in front of him from the barrel.
When the guns that were twenty meters away were enough to kill people, it had a great shock when they were aimed at people. Normal people on earth would directly soften when facing the muzzle pointing at them. The birds injured by arrows in the sky fell down when they heard the sound of bows. When facing a row of muzzles clearly visible twenty meters away, even if these guns were not fired, the opponent had lost the ability to resist.
The light of a row of fire# guns flashed, and the bullets hit the human body and splashed bright red blood. The soldiers of Fligro who escaped lost their weapons and quickly ran away. The commander of Johor Bahru had a clear Japanese-style passionate style.
The 20-day period has taken the upper hand and taken over again and again, as if it has injected Johor Bahru with never-tiring stimulants. He has been rushing to attack again and again, facing the superior enemy with his superior force, and even bite it when he finds that he has twice the enemy, but after finding that these enemies have just landed from the airship and have not yet adapted to the surrounding situation, Johor Bahru directly decided to launch an attack.
Passion does not mean brainless. Since Dilsey survived, Johor Bahru had richer experience in independent combat than Rendi. Sometimes non-commissioned officers in the industrial army can decide the outcome of a battle than soldiers. Cannon fodder can be recruited and then trained for three months, but in peacetime, non-commissioned officer schools do take two or three years to study. Of course, there is a faster way to train non-commissioned officers. That is, on the battlefield, surviving veterans and experienced veterans can quickly support the rapid growth of the troops under the wartime non-commissioned officer selection system. This selection is made by cruel elimination screening, and there is only one chance of life on the battlefield.
The guarantee of blood bars gave Johor Bahru Ren Di and others a little more chance to survive the cruel battlefield. Ren Di practiced a calm shooting performance in a dangerous shooting.
War is the process of both sides putting lethality on their opponents and eliminating their opponents. The non-commissioned officers are familiar with this process. After these many days of fighting, no matter how many complaints, they can still learn a lot from the command of Johor Bahru. Bullets are loaded to form effective firepower and pull the trigger to shoot and kill according to the command. This process is simple. It is familiar to practice a few times, but on the battlefield, who can easily keep this step going smoothly without knowing whether you are still alive in the next moment. Sometimes the reason why the new recruits survive is that they are boring and nurturing the action conditioning reflex again and again on the training ground, not subjectively judged by the brain. Veterans who have lived and died several times can fine-tune their movements according to the situation at special moments on the battlefield.
The non-commissioned officers must ensure the firepower projection of one of their troops, and at the same time judge the firepower projection of the opponent, as much as possible, when there are problems in the opposite process, and when there are mistakes, they will catch the problem and give the opponent a fatal blow. Ren Di and Johor Bahru cooperate very well. The projected grenades created a difference, and Johor Bahru will go up, instantly causing the opponent to be defeated.
The ropes hanging from the airship in the sky were still putting down the soldiers, but the soldiers who had already come down were broken up without waiting for support.
Huge airships were floating in the sky, and rows of soldiers below, holding decks and bayonets, chasing a large number of rioters who could not form organization and escaped all over the mountains.
Seeing the soldiers below in chaos, the commander who stayed on the transport airship decided to support him, of course, not from joining the chaos below, but trying to save the defeat by shooting from the airship from a condescending shot.
Several rows of crisp guns rang out from the thirty-meter-high sky, sweeping out a row of dusty smoke from the ground. The soldiers commanded by Johor Bahru unconsciously looked up at the threat in the sky, and the pursuit slowed down.
But at this moment, the huge airship trembled. This helium carrier landed without landing naturally, but hanging ropes were fixed by pile drivers. The contraction ropes were pulled down from the sky. Forty steel cables were pulled down smoothly from each part in all directions, and the average force was applied to keep the airship landing stable. The ropes were hung down at a height of 30 meters to allow the soldiers to climb down.
In this way, steel cables are the fixed connection between the airship and the earth. Just like when we pull the hydrogen balloon, the hydrogen balloon will shake. Ren Di was not prepared to directly attack this large airship from the beginning, and directly shoot the airbag. The airbag is damaged. Even if the airship at a height of 30 meters falls, it will be no harm.
Ren Di's plan was to make the huge airship lose balance. When Johor Bahru defeated the enemy troops, Ren Di's troops rushed to the bottom of the airship and aimed at more than a dozen steel cables on the left side of the airship. When the row of guns fired from the airship's window.
The explosions began on the steel cables on the left side of the airship connecting the earth, and the explosions were made at close range. The wires on the steel cables were torn off by the shock wave, and then the remaining part of the wire could not withstand the huge pressure of the airship's floating upwards. It was like the broken bow strings of hundreds of strong bows.
The row of steel cables on the left side of the airship connecting the earth were all broken by the huge buoyancy of the airship. The airship instantly turned over and looked up at the soldiers attacking from above and saw this scene. The soldiers who were aiming out of the boat's cabin and aimed at it instantly, and they all fell to the side as the airship rolled upwards.
In less than a second, part of the entire airship was destroyed due to the steel cable connecting the earth. The force was uneven, and it instantly turned 60 degrees. This turn swelling speed was much faster than the speed of the boats on the sea. After all, the air density was smaller than water.
There was only one wave of shooting in the airship, and then the soldiers who had half of their bodies stretched out of the window were like passengers who were suddenly braked on the bus. The huge inertia made them lose balance. Dozens of soldiers threw them out of the window. Since the upper body stretched out of the window, their feet finally came out of the window, and the falling posture was head down. Thirty meters high fell down in this position. The worst was that their head was on the ground. This tragic situation was not described. The slightly better was that their head was tilted and their necks were broken directly. This dead situation was better. The best was that their upper back hit the ground and their chances were to survive. It was at the cost of a broken spine. Paralysis at high levels could be cured in this world, but there was basically no chance in the chaotic battlefield at the moment.
From the translucent boat bay, you can hear dozens of war horses falling from the airship to the other end because the airship is tilted violently. The airship bay falls from one end to the other. When humans lose balance in the water, the same is true for horses. Dozens of war horses fall from one side of the airship to the other side. In the narrow boat bay, dozens of horses waving the hooves of dozens of horses bring out a scream. The sound of heavy objects in the boat colliding with the airship wall made the people below unconsciously avoid it. They are afraid that these heavy objects will smash the thin boat bay and smash it down from their heads.
However, this was just the beginning of a series of chain reactions. Due to the pulling of a small number of steel cables, the remaining steel cables were not enough to fix the buoyancy of the airship. The pile drivers connecting the steel cables were pulled out of the soil by huge force. The pile drivers of hundreds of kilograms were directly bounced out of two or three meters high because they were pulled out too hard.
Within five seconds, the pile drivers were jumping around, as if there were bombs in the soil exploded, and the fountains exposed huge pits, and the white stubble with broken grass roots in the pit was clearly visible.
Ten seconds later, the entire airship was connected to the earth with its head and tail and was 90 degrees perpendicular, and was connected to the earth with only five steel cables on its head. However, everyone could see that the land where the last five pile drivers connecting the steel cables were located was bulging rapidly, and the cracks on the raised earthblocks near the pile driver expanded like spider webs, which seemed to be expected. These last few steel cables could not withstand the huge buoyancy of the airship.
Because the drastic change happened too quickly, the heavy objects used for the entire airship were instantly shaken to the front of the airship due to violent shaking, and the entire airship could not maintain balance at this time.
As the last steel cable was pulled out by the airship, the entire airship took off at an incline of 70 degrees, and the golden rooster flew vertically towards the sky. A large piece of shattered debris scattered from the sky, a horse directly knocked out of the hull, and about a dozen people smashed down from the sky like rain. When it fell, it was no longer helpful, and the plate armor they were wearing was deformed.
