Ground-effect aircraft have a higher lift-to-drag ratio than normal aircraft. An engine with the same power can often make the aircraft heavier and carry more material.
What is driving at high speed on the sea at this time is a behemoth that uses this principle. The larger the volume, the better the effect of using the ground effect.
Humans on Earth have also discovered this, but they didn’t invest much in this technology tree, so they left it alone. However, Xiaoqueshi really followed this technology tree and achieved results.
The giant ground-effect aircraft has reached a balance in terms of fuel consumption and load capacity. While traveling at high speed, the energy consumed is within an acceptable range.
Moreover, what Akatsuki built was not an ordinary aerial fortress, but flying aircraft carriers.
In addition to being able to travel at high speeds, ground-effect aircraft are also equipped with various fighter aircraft inside. Because of the existence of seal scrolls, an entire fighter jet can be stored in the seal scrolls. Ground-effect aircraft carriers only need to carry seal scrolls and
The pilot can act as an aircraft carrier.
As for the extra long deck required on a normal aircraft carrier, it is completely unnecessary for a ground effect aircraft. The reason is also very simple. The ground effect aircraft itself flies at high speed. After the fighter leaves the cabin, the relative speed with the air is already very fast.
It can completely take off and land vertically. You only need to leave an upward exit, and you can easily take off and land fighter jets without the need for ejection equipment or a runway.
Such a design will undoubtedly greatly increase the efficiency of fighter take-off and can release a large number of fighters in a short period of time, which is better than that of ordinary aircraft carriers.
In addition, the high-speed flight of ground-effect aircraft carriers makes it difficult to target a large number of attacks, and they can fly on relatively flat ground, giving this brand-new aircraft carrier a strategic value that ordinary aircraft carriers do not have.
After Minato saw the behemoth flying close to the sea, he realized something was wrong. A large number of fighter jets took off from the aircraft carrier when they approached the coastline. It was obviously not the time to consider solving the problem of the naval fleet at this time. It only took five minutes.
, these behemoths will rush onto the land, and the southern peninsula of the Country of Fire is full of endless plains. These huge aircraft can traverse the entire peninsula as if they were in uninhabited territory.
So far, no ninja has the ability to stop such a behemoth from breaking through.
Minato knew that he had to stop these twelve ground-effect aircraft carriers, and he only had one chance, which was the moment when the two sides crossed each other. After missing this opportunity, Minato's speed would not be able to catch up with the high-speed flying ground-effect aircraft carriers.
If they were allowed to cross to the other side of the peninsula, the southern defense line of the Fire Country would be completely destroyed.
However, the Dawn Army had obviously already formulated a strategic plan. At the same time as the roar of ground-effect aircraft came from the horizon, a large number of landing craft were released from the battleships and densely packed towards the shore to land.
Many landing craft are also equipped with tanks and armored vehicles, and they also have a lot of heavy firepower. Obviously these are ground forces launching attacks together with ground-effect aircraft. No matter how hard the air force fights, they still need to occupy the ground. Naturally, the Dawn Army cannot ignore it.
In this regard, the cooperation of various arms is very important on the battlefield.
So when his own strategic weapons arrived, he also started the landing operation. Now Minato was no longer facing the problem of dying in battle, but the problem of not being able to win even if he fought to the death.
Although Minato is known to be good at group battles, there is no difference between how many enemies are in front of him and when there is only one person, but that is only a battle between ninjas. Usually in the battles between ninjas, there are rarely more than a thousand people on a battlefield.
The situation is that the current landing operation is a battle involving tens of thousands of people. No matter how powerful the space movement is by one person, it is impossible to take into account all directions.
"There are too many people...can't we stop it even if we kill them?" Minato felt deeply helpless. The Fire Country did have a large population, but they couldn't mobilize it. After all, it was a backward agricultural country and still used...
Under the feudal system, citizens living in villages could not become qualified warriors even if they were trained and sent to the battlefield.
In contrast, Akatsuki is already a qualified industrial country. Most of its citizens have received basic education and have learned the spirit of collectivism while working in factories.
Many behaviors that don't seem like a big deal in our reality actually need to be cultivated from childhood to adulthood, such as lining up or raising hands to speak. These may be instinctive things for modern people.
During that period, it was actually quite high-quality performance.
Anyone who can habitually abide by the rules already has the potential to become a qualified warrior. However, the Country of Fire not only does not have enough qualified soldiers, but also does not have enough modern weapons to equip them.
When the ninjas in charge of coastline defense saw the enemy's massive landing, they immediately rushed out of the bunker and prepared to stop them. However, what greeted them was the gunfire of the battleships. The ninjas lacked heavy fire support. Minato clearly saw a captain.
Shinobi rushed to the beach, formed seals quickly, and prepared to perform a large-scale water escape ninjutsu, causing huge waves to overturn the entire landing craft.
However, a cannonball fell in his direction. Seeing this situation, Minato could only teleport to the nearby space coordinates. The Flying Thunder God Kunai was thrown out. Before the cannonball fell, he teleported the Jonin with him.
Leave where you are.
Almost as soon as they left, a cloud of fire suddenly exploded where they were. A large amount of soil flew into the sky during the bombardment, and the shock wave swept everything around. The waves that had just been set off by Water Release were caused by the departure of the caster.
It also calmed down in a short time.
Many ninjas are facing the same dilemma. They do master powerful ninjutsu, some of which are even more powerful than the explosion of cannonballs, but they require seals to be used and require a short preparation time, and this is very dangerous.
Under the heavy fire bombardment, it was almost impossible to do it.
"No, we have to deal with the battleship." Minato watched his companions who were too late to get off were killed in the gunfire. He finally hardened his heart and teleported to the space coordinates that had not been cleared on the battleship. A bomb containing huge energy appeared.
He threw it down, and then moved towards another battleship instantly.
The bullets and shock waves in the sky weaved into a large web of death, and a large number of spatial coordinates were cleared, leaving Minato to only use the Flying Thunder God Kunai to shuttle between battleships.
The naval fireman, who had already seen this kind of movement once, faced the same situation again, and the accuracy of the attack was obviously higher. He would even predict where Minato might appear next based on the kunai thrown by Minato.
brush!
Minato appeared instantly, and was met with a violent explosion. The shells with delayed fuses were bombarded towards the location where he might appear. After Minato saw his combat partners being torn to pieces by artillery fire on the battlefield,
You will feel angry. How can the soldiers on the fleet feel calm when they see the battleship they once fought with sank to the bottom of the sea together with the robe on it?
The ferocious artillery fire baptized the entire sky. Minato had no time to dodge and was hit by the shock wave. His internal organs felt as if they had been rubbed by a big hand. Blood flowed from both ears. It was probably impossible to recover his hearing in a short time.
Already.
That is to say, his spatial ability is extremely powerful. At the moment when the shock wave comes, he moves to the next coordinate in space again, thus avoiding the fate of being torn apart. Even so, he has already suffered internal injuries. Compared with the previous battle,
Minor injuries are much more severe.
Another battleship was landed by Watergate, and then fell silent amid the explosion, and the battle entered its most brutal stage.
The ninjas responsible for the defense at the coastal defense faced the extremely fierce firepower of the landing troops and mecha troops. Amidst the explosions and rain of bullets, they were torn into pieces one by one. Some of them released powerful ninjutsu before they died.
The cost of life caused heavy casualties to the landing troops, but more importantly, they were unable to release a powerful ninjutsu until they died in battle.
The blood dyed the beach dark red, and the roar in the sky was getting closer and closer. A large number of fighter planes covered the sky like a swarm. Some of the fighter planes responsible for near-ground bombing swooped down from the sky and pointed their cannons at the ground.
Strafing, leaving a trail of death on the beach.
At the same time, Minato, who was entangled with the fleet, also realized that his last chance had arrived. He must intercept as many ground-effect aircraft carriers as possible at the moment when the two sides crossed paths. If he could not do this, he would never pursue him again.
Take their chance.
However, the fleet and the ground-effect aircraft carrier have a unified command system. Minato's information has been notified to the ground-effect aircraft carrier in the sky. Just as Minato was ready to intersect with the ground-effect aircraft carrier, he continuously released a large number of explosives.
, when blowing down these high-speed aircraft.
They actually separated, bypassed the current location of Minato, drew an arc, and rushed towards the shore.
Minato knew that he was in trouble. His intelligence had been exposed long ago after such a high-intensity battle. What he didn't even know was that the staff of the headquarters had analyzed his flying thunder god based on his performance in the battle.
The intervals used, the errors that occur when teleporting over relatively long distances, how many coordinates can be left at the same time, and many habits during the battle, and based on these, the next battle plan was formulated.
As long as the ground-effect aircraft carrier chooses to take a detour, Minato will not be able to catch up. After all, it is impossible for him to leave infinite coordinates of the Flying Thunder God in the world. He cannot go wherever he wants. Flying Thunder God over a long distance will consume him.
It is also very huge. In fact, Minato is already in a state of hard support. The chakra in his body is almost exhausted, and his reaction speed has gradually decreased due to injuries. This has led to the frequency of his injuries becoming more and more frequent in battles.
high.
Seeing that the ground-effect aircraft carrier bypassed his combat range, his tense nerves finally broke. He continuously used the Flying Thunder God to catch up in the direction of the ground-effect aircraft's detour. In order to throw the kunai faster, he
The arm muscles exploded beyond their limits, and the muscles were almost torn.
He actually threw a kunai with his bare hands at a speed close to the speed of sound. However, such a high-speed throw cannot last for a long time. The faster the speed, the greater the air resistance encountered by the flying props, and it increases geometrically. The kunai is close to the speed of sound.
Almost as soon as it was thrown, it decelerated wildly, and it didn't fly very far before it was almost at the same speed as a normal throw.
Continuous throwing has made his arm muscles almost useless. He is like a braggadocio who knows that it is impossible to catch up, but he still puts everything he has into trying to catch up.
It's a pity that the huge gap in speed cannot be erased after all. The physical strength and chakra are almost completely exhausted in the process. He has always appeared on the battlefield with a chic and confident image, and can maintain his integrity in the battle.
Minato, who was dyed, was covered in blood at this moment. The Hokage God's robe was torn to pieces in the explosion. Finally, like a bird with broken wings, he lost all his strength and fell into the sea.
In the end, he failed to catch up with the ground-effect aircraft carrier flying at full speed. Even though he had almost invincible space capabilities in single combat, he was ultimately unable to reverse the outcome of this war with his personal ability.
After all, there is a huge difference between war and fighting. Fighting is just a conflict of beliefs between individuals. War is the last and ultimate means of violence for a country and a civilization. It is the conscious investment of countless people, not just on the battlefield.
, and even within the entire country and the entire civilization, every individual is involved.
At least in the world of Naruto, no individual can completely change the outcome of a total war with his or her own efforts.
The ground-effect aircraft carrier broke through the blockade of the water gate and plowed the coastline fiercely with its huge body carrying a large amount of heavy firepower.
Cooperating with the fighter jets that accompanied them on their cruise, they completely eliminated all possible resistance. After breaking through the defenses of the coastline, the endless plains that followed were devoid of any resistance. The Marine Corps cooperated with the ground-effect aircraft carriers and drove straight in. Along the way,
Even if it encounters resistance, it can break through instantly, penetrate the narrowest area of the peninsula, and establish its own position along this line.
This station completely cut the southern peninsula of the Land of Fire in half from the mainland. The subsequent occupation of the entire peninsula was already a matter of time. What shocked the ninja world the most was that in this battle, the fourth Hokage Nam Feng Shui
Men was actually captured alive.
The entire ninja world knows that the Fourth Hokage is known as the Golden Flash. He has the fastest speed and the strongest time and space ninjutsu in the entire ninja world. If he wants to run away, no one can catch him. However, this is it.
A strong man, but exhausted his energy in the battle and was captured by the Dawn Army. This made the top leaders of various countries feel panic. The Dawn Army, which became stronger with the Vietnam War, seemed to be unstoppable.
