Her bloodshot eyes were directed at the two fighter planes burning in flames on the runway, and Zhou Zhirou could even see the two pilots who were burning in the cockpit, waving their arms and struggling in vain.
Of course, as the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, Zhou Zhirou would not shed tears. Even if he knew the families of the two pilots, he would not shed tears either.
Because deep down in his heart, his hands were stained with the blood of those pilots. He was also a part of the reason why the Aviation National Salvation Fund, including aviation military expenditures allocated by the Chairman's government, disappeared inexplicably.
And knowing that it would weaken the Air Force's strategy, he couldn't speak out.
The reason is very simple. Anyone who dares to do that will be quickly pushed to the margins by all high-ranking officials, and will eventually be removed dishonorably.
At this time, an airport-specific fire truck sprang out of nowhere. The firefighters tried to rescue the two pilots amidst the hail of bullets and bullets fired by the Japanese army.
However, the next moment a bomb fell near the fire truck. The fire truck was blown up in the air and rolled over. The nearby firefighters had already been blown away by the air wave of the bomb.
"Shoot, don't let the little devil escape..."
A roaring voice came not far away, and along with the order came the faint sound of machine gun and rifle shooting.
He was probably a stupid young commander of some infantry. The infantry's masturbation was a waste of bullets. I don't know how difficult it is to resupply bullets.
It is always easy for people to forgive themselves, but it is easy to turn the blame on others, especially innocent people with lower status.
Like the Air Force, the Generalissimo's defense industry has long been riddled with holes by moths.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Just when Zhou Zhirou was complaining, a voice he had never heard before suddenly came.
Following the sound, something with white tail feathers quickly rose into the sky. The direction they were flying was exactly the direction of the D1A/Type 94 dive bombers that had just dropped their bombs and wanted to pull up.
What kind of weapon is that? Why have I never seen it before?
Rao has inspected air force and anti-aircraft weapons in European and American countries, and Zhou Zhirou, who claims to be well-informed, has never seen such a weapon. In fact, not only has he never seen it, this kind of weapon can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.
107 high-level dual-purpose cannon, but the word "rocket" must be added.
Especially after the German Krupp took out a large amount of shares to purchase the blueprint for this gun, the 107mm high-flat dual-purpose rocket launcher became the most important artillery unit in the German army.
In its previous life, it was known as one of the three artifacts of guerrilla warfare.
Of course, it is not considered a heavy artillery. After all, its range is only 8,500 meters, and its altitude is only 3,000 meters. But this kind of weapon, both artillery and ammunition, is simple to manufacture and low-cost, and can be used for both air defense and ground attack. It is very important to the German army.
The firepower system is of great benefit.
At this time, there was no precedent in the world for using rockets to attack aircraft. However, throughout the history of World War II, rockets were more effective at attacking aircraft, especially large bombers, than aviation machine guns and naval cannons.
Of course, without radio proximity fuses, any anti-aircraft gun would be weak against fighter aircraft.
Before the famous battleship Yamato sank, hundreds of anti-aircraft guns only shot down ten U.S. fighter planes. The biggest shortcoming was the radio close-combat fuse. In addition, the Yamato's air and sea radars could not match the corresponding weapons.
Form a command system.
Because directing the collision of rockets, or expecting the shrapnel from rocket-rocket explosions to deal with the fighters at this time, is undoubtedly unimaginable on a battlefield without radar that cannot quickly analyze the elements of air fire.
But another idea provided by Zhang Sixing made the 107mm anti-air rocket launcher a masterpiece that combined multiple weapon concepts.
The twelve rockets that took off did not explode. They only made some noise in the air that was smaller than a rifle shot, and then a large area appeared in the sky...
"Nets, what on earth are those rockets doing with nets in the sky? Does he still expect those nets to catch the plane?"
why not?
When Zhang Sixing was still in the special forces in his previous life, he had a non-lethal weapon. It sprayed a strong net at the target, and the net that closed instantly would trap the target in it.
Compared with ordinary targets, airplanes are just flying in the air, so the nets they need are just larger.
A net made of silk weighs only a few kilograms even if it is a few hundred square meters, and it is not as heavy as the charge of a 107 rocket launcher.
When it reaches a predetermined height, the rocket-warhead will shoot out several firecrackers similar to two kicks in all directions. Then the net will quickly expand due to the resistance of the air, forming a net covering several hundred square meters in the air.
Of course, the net will fall down quickly due to gravity, but several two-kicking firecrackers flying around will eventually throw out a few parachutes.
Of course, the world is vast, and one net won't have much effect, but twelve nets are a bit interesting. Especially not a 107-meter high-level rocket launcher.
So a large number of nets suddenly unfold in front of their flight path, what should those pull-in fighters using propellers do?
During World War I, before machine guns were mounted on fighter planes, pilots actually flew above enemy fighter planes and used nets to deal with them. There were real combat examples of this.
Of course, for a paratrooper school without radar or radio proximity fuzes, it is necessary to measure altitude, speed and other actions. Compared with fighter jets, dive bombers and level bombers are easier to calculate data.
Fortunately, the 107 rocket launcher is only a surface-to-surface anti-personnel weapon, regardless of whether it is used against the ground or in the air, and the accuracy requirements are not so high.
Zhou Zhirou, who was holding the telescope, could not see very clearly anything that happened in the sky except for the vague sight of the net.
All he could see was that three Japanese D1A/Type 94 dive bombers suddenly slowed down, and finally they simply rushed down and were hung by a few parachutes above them, and slowly fell down.
"Plane, cavalry, hurry up and grab the plane for me..."
The voice that had just commanded the firing shouted loudly, and then a dozen war horses rushed out amidst the sound of clattering. Not only them, but also the motorcycles whose kites had blown up simply threw away the line rollers and joined the ranks of grabbing the plane.
At this time, the Japanese pilots in the air were completely paralyzed. Who had ever heard of setting up a net to catch an airplane?
Just now when the net was deployed, he tried desperately to pull it up to avoid the net that was "covering" his head and face.
However, suddenly, the sky in front of me and behind me opened up nets.
What's terrible is that once the propeller is entangled, it will soon stall due to the friction between the propeller and the radiator at the nose. What's even more terrible is that behind the long cord at the top of the net is the parachute.
As the plane crashed into the net, those seemingly not thick "strings" turned out to be as strong as fishing nets.
Immediately afterwards, the engine was suppressed and stalled, and those strong nets were dragged behind the aircraft.
When I turned around and looked around, I saw a few small parachutes hanging at the back.
Judging from the speed of his current fall, he may not fall to death, but he may not be able to avoid becoming a prisoner.
