The powered parafoil troops took off from the Sky City. The originally designed flight deck balance problem was still not solved, so they had to take off from the aluminum alloy track below the Sky City. The arc-shaped track can give the parafoil strong inertia, which is quite powerful.
For ski jump take-off, the effect is stronger than that of deck take-off.
This air force is Liu Ziguang's trump card force. It costs no less than the Sky City. The original bamboo and wood supports have been changed to aluminum alloy, and the skin has been changed to a special high-strength canvas. The power devices of the parafoils are unified and individual.
The refined kerosene twin-cylinder internal combustion engine with small horsepower and high power has greatly improved the range and load capacity than before.
The pilots are all graduates of Qingdao Liuting Aviation School. They have flown over the sea, plains and mountains, and city bombing is a special subject. Liu Ziguang once built an empty city for them to practice bombing. The training cost is obviously high.
The weapons carried on the parafoil are also the most sophisticated, including high-explosive bombs, napalm bombs, and rocket launching nests, all of which are powerful weapons.
These are just thirty powered parafoils from the first wave of air raids. They carry full-scale lethality bombs and incendiary bombs. They are very effective against dense formations of enemy troops. The parafoils roar past, and each bomb is in free fall.
They fell into the densely packed Qing army, blasting up fragments of limbs and dozens of craters on the ground. The unobstructed soldiers were cut and decomposed by sharp and hot shrapnel, turning from living people into
Mutilated corpses.
The Qing army was stunned by the blows falling from the sky. Most of the people did not know how to lie down to avoid, but ran around in a chaotic manner. As a result, more people trampled on each other and died than were killed by bombs. Some stubborn soldiers wanted to use fire blunderbuss.
He fought back with a bow and arrow, but the parafoil was too fast and couldn't hit him. Besides, he was hit by one or two arrows and couldn't hit the parafoil.
This is the advantage of a parafoil. It is fast and has a simple structure. It is suitable for daytime attacks. However, it has a small bomb load and a short range. It is necessary to find a suitable landing site in advance, otherwise there will be no return. These characteristics are exactly opposite to those of airships.
, the airship is large, slow, has a large bomb load, and has a long stay in the air, but it is like a target under the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower, so it is only suitable for dispatching at night. It is daytime, so Li Yan sent out this powered parafoil.
Seeing the arrival of their own reinforcements and the enemy's offensive being broken down again, the Ming army on top of the city cheered and fired the last few shells as if to demonstrate. The first wave of air raid troops did not stop, dropped their bombs and walked away.
Immediately afterwards the second wave of air strikes came. This time it was an attack team equipped with rocket nests, specifically shooting at the buildings where the Qing troops were hiding. Both the gun and the end gate were hit by fire, and parachutes were hung on both sides.
A twenty-four-round rocket nest, a total of forty-eight high-explosive rockets propelled by gunpowder, hit wherever you pointed. The burst of fire almost killed Kangxi who was watching the battle on the tower. The guards rushed to protect him with their flesh and blood.
Live with the emperor, and then evacuate urgently, fleeing to the Zhongnanhai area to continue commanding operations.
Now there are no living Qing soldiers in the square. All the troops are hiding and looking at the horizon in horror. It’s not that they are not brave, it’s just that the air raid is too terrifying. The black aircraft fleet, the deafening roar of the motors and the grass-cutting grass.
The method of killing and the fact that these demons came from the sky made the Qing soldiers collapse. The pressure and shock brought to them by the parafoil was greater than that of the airship.
The second wave of strike forces was still circling above the imperial city, looking for the remaining Qing troops. From time to time, they found enemies hiding in the woods of Zhongnanhai, Taimiao Temple, and Jingshan Mountain.
In an instant, the air raids shattered the morale of the troops. From time to time, the pilots passed over the palace city at low altitude, white silk scarves floating in the wind. The pilots wearing flying goggles and leather hats waved to their comrades on the city wall and waved to Liu Ziguang on the Meridian Gate.
The commander saluted the flag with his graceful and graceful movements, which made a group of soldiers secretly swear that they would definitely sign up to be natural soldiers after returning home. It felt so cool to kill the enemy in the air.
The second wave is still circling to defend the Forbidden City, and the third wave of powered parafoils has arrived again. The parafoils dispatched this time are different from the previous two waves. They are larger in size and fly slightly slower. They fly directly over the Forbidden City. The parafoils are
The lower part threw out a long series of boxes like carp hatchlings, each box had a small parachute made of silk, and fluttered to the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, injuring many palace maids. The Ming army
Come over quickly to receive the goods. These are the supplies sent by the heavenly soldiers. Most of them are cannonballs, bullets and gunpowder. They are wrapped in kraft paper and stored in wooden boxes. They can be used after being disassembled. There are also painkillers developed by Huangshi Zhenren.
Wound bandages, mulberry paper, gold sore medicine; and several boxes of canned beef, cans of beer and Chinese cigarettes.
Not only the ammunition was replenished, but also wine, meat and cigarettes, which gave the red-shirted troops who were defending the Forbidden City a shot in the arm. With the support from heaven, they could hold on for a year without any problem. However, the morale of the Qing army plummeted.
It was easy to sacrifice tens of thousands of lives and was about to win, but was disrupted by an air raid. This made everyone in the Qing court very frustrated. Several Manchu princes were even more dissatisfied. Kangxi, a child, used troops indiscriminately and lost many troops.
How can we convince them if we don't see any results?
In the small trees in Zhongnanhai, Kangxi and Dayu'er were hiding like bereaved dogs. This battle was really too cowardly. They were constantly suppressed and beaten. Finally, there was a possibility of a comeback. They all went back at once. Now even
The palaces were all occupied, and there were no buildings in the imperial city to hide in. When the Ming army's thieves saw a decent palace, they went over and fired two rockets, leaving the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to hide in the woods.
It's really embarrassing and embarrassing.
The grandfather and grandson were discussing countermeasures when someone suddenly came to report that the Ming army had arrived at Yongding Gate and was setting up cannons to blast the city gate. Peng Chun led his army to resist desperately and suffered heavy casualties. He asked the emperor to send more reinforcements.
This time it was Kangxi's turn to have a big headache. He also felt that the house was leaking and it was raining all night. There were 130,000 troops in the capital, but they were of no use. They couldn't even defeat the Forbidden City, which was guarded by a thousand people. It seemed that
There is really no future in this battle. Looking back at his ancestors, Da Yuer still has a perseverance on his face. He encourages his grandson to make up his mind with his eyes. The more difficult it is, the more perseverant it is. Often the battle is about perseverance. Whoever holds on for the last five minutes will win.
It's the winner.
Kangxi nodded vigorously to his ancestors, and then ordered: "The troops are divided into two groups, one is to reinforce Yongding Gate, and the other is to continue to attack the Forbidden City. I want to show these Han people that there is no end to the blood of the Manchus!"
The rockets carried by the parafoil were all used up, so they shook the parafoil and evacuated it. Since the parafoil was troublesome to take off and land, it could only be a one-time deal. Next, it was up to the Red Shirts to force themselves.
Fortunately, they took advantage of this opportunity to put out the fire in the palace, annihilated the hidden Qing guards, treated the wounded, distributed ammunition, and took a few puffs of cigarettes and sips of beer, and their combat effectiveness was greatly restored.
, the Qing army attacked again, but still couldn't get any advantage.
The figures of the Qing army emerged from all directions and formed an offensive formation. However, before they could reach the shooting range, they were hit by a burst of arrows. They suffered numerous casualties and panic. A large number of people wearing Qing army armor poured out from behind them, but on the right
Soldiers with their arms wrapped in white cloth strips brandished swords and guns and fought with the Qing army.
"Their own people are fighting!" Someone reported to Liu Ziguang, but Liu Ziguang just smiled reservedly, thinking that they should have been in civil strife long ago, and my ideological work was not in vain. The red-shirted soldiers lay on the city wall excitedly and relished it
They watched the Qing soldiers killing each other, making comments while watching, as if they were not involved, and the war had nothing to do with them.
Kangxi was resting in the woods when he suddenly heard the loud sound of killing outside. The guards came to report: "Admiral Fu Shou of the Nine Gates has rebelled! Now he is coming with men and horses from Zhenglan Banner. Brothers can hardly stand it anymore!"
Kangxi was shocked, Fu Shou actually rebelled against him! His ancestor made him the admiral of the Nine Gates and handed over the defense of the capital to him, but he rebelled against him! Is this guy still a descendant of the Aisin Gioro family?
Da Yu'er was also extremely shocked. Fu Shou usually looks quite honest, but he didn't expect that there is a wolfish ambition hidden under the docile surface. It's too late to say anything now. Since Fu Shou dares to rebel, he must have enough in his hands.
The strength of the troops, and he often went to the Ming army camp to negotiate peace some time ago, must have reached some shady agreement with Liu Ziguang.
Thinking of this, Da Yu'er couldn't help but lament in his heart: The Qing Dynasty has perished...
"Old Ancestor! What should I do?" Kangxi and Suma Lagu rushed over and grabbed Dayu'er's arm. The situation in the capital was so chaotic that it was no longer possible to tell who was the enemy and who was one of our own. The current situation was chaotic.
, Xiao Kangxi completely lost his ability to control and analyze, and could only rely on the wisdom of his ancestors.
Da Yuer secretly told herself that she must not mess up the situation. She calmed down, patted Kangxi on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, Fu Shou's rebellion has been expected by the Ai family, and the Ai family has buried chess pieces around him. We
We’re not at the end of our rope yet.”
Da Yuer's palm slapped Kangxi's shoulder very hard, secretly reminding him that as the emperor, he must not mess up his position. Kangxi immediately understood and nodded firmly: "I know my ancestors, no matter what difficulties they face, my grandson will
Face it bravely!”
This is the current situation that cannot be solved by bravery. There is a war in the capital everywhere. The Red Shirt Army Rangers and the Tiandihui are the same secret espionage organization, but their actions are more covert, the organization is tighter, and their business has no intersection with the Tiandihui.
They had been dormant since they sneaked into Beijing with the Tianjin refugees, and now they finally emerged. They wore the uniforms of the Qing army and went around killing people and setting fires to create chaos. They assassinated officials and blew up military camps. They did everything they could. Although the Qing army was large in number, at the same time,
The powerful enemies in the Forbidden City and Yongding Gate were exhausted, and there was no way to hunt them down. Coupled with the defection of the nine admirals, the situation in the capital was already one-sided.
