It will now be somewhat difficult to attack on land unless larger caliber artillery is deployed, such as a heavy cannon of over 200 mm.
But transporting such a large-caliber artillery was a nightmare in the Qing Dynasty, when roads were very inconvenient.
To transport such a large-caliber artillery from Nanjing to Jinan, a journey of thousands of miles, is an arduous test for the transport troops.
Naturally, Liu Zhi couldn't place his hopes on these large-caliber artillery, so he thought of the 24 J-7s in Xuzhou.
Therefore, a telegram was sent directly from Jinan to the simple military airport outside Xuzhou.
Currently stationed at the quarantine airport outside Xuzhou is the First Flying Regiment of the Air Force, and their leader is Wang Kang, Air Force Commander Liu Xiao’s favorite.
It should be said that this Wang Kang was also born as a cyborg. After being instilled with knowledge by Zhi Nao Bai, he was very proficient in air force operations.
When he received the telegram from Liu Zhi on the front line, he did not immediately send out air force reinforcements because he did not understand the front line at all. Well, what was the situation in the enemy's position?
He followed the old method and first dispatched two J-H-7s carrying reconnaissance equipment to Jinan for aerial reconnaissance.
Since Xuzhou is very close to Jinan, clear photos were delivered to Wang Kang within a few hours.
Wang Kang and his staff also took a breath of air after comparing the enemy's positions and the number of bunkers.
Now the Qing army's bunkers stretch for dozens of miles, and there are hundreds of them densely packed. If the army wants to break through, it will simply use human lives to pile them up.
No wonder Liu Zhi, who is so proud, can only ask for help from his own air force.
However, this job is suitable for the Air Force, and in the current time and space, they have almost no opponents, and their safety can be guaranteed.
At daybreak, an order was issued to the entire 1st Air Force Regiment, requiring all combat aircraft to be ready to take off.
At this time, Yin Ming, the commander of his first battalion, came to Wang Kang's office. Although this guy was a cyborg, he had a bad temper. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted in his loud voice.
"Commander, we will take off soon. What ammunition should we carry?"
When Wang Kang saw his appearance, he was very angry.
"What ammo do you want to hang on?"
"It goes without saying that we should take out all the air-to-surface missiles we have at the bottom of the box and let the bumpkins on the other side know what war is."
Wang Kang was trembling with anger after hearing his words, "Shut up. Do you know how much each air-to-ground missile costs?"
When Yin Ming heard that Wang Kang's tone was somewhat unkind, he muttered and stopped, standing aside with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
Wang Kang really had no choice about his beloved general.
"We have no rivals here. Flying the aircraft lower can also increase the accuracy. With the skills of our pilots, we can achieve the goal with ordinary aerial bombs. Why do we have to use those expensive air-to-ground missiles?"
"Then you can't just put so many new weapons in the warehouse. Don't use them. Isn't this a waste?"
"I'm telling you, good steel should be used on the blade. The bunkers on the opposite side are simply not enough for us to use these new weapons."
After Wang Kang taught Yin Ming a lesson, he softened his tone, and then said: "How are your troops prepared? Don't let me go to the sky soon."
Yin Ming saw that their leader's tone began to soften, and he immediately became energetic again, "No problem, the pilots are screaming now, as long as you give the order, we will take off immediately."
"I will take off in person for this operation. When the time comes, please be honest with me. You must remember that I am watching you from the sky."
Yin Ming felt a little embarrassed after hearing Wang Kang's words, because in normal training, this Yin Ming was simply a desperate man.
When he was in the air, he dared to do any difficult moves. Once, in order to make the plane reach the fastest speed, he dived directly from an altitude of 10,000 meters to more than 1,000 meters.
Wang Kang, who was in the control tower at that time, was so frightened that he shivered. Fortunately, their J-H-7 was relatively strong, and in the end this desperate man pulled the plane up.
However, their leader Liu Xiao soon found out about this matter, and Wang Kang was directly trained by him in Liu Xiao's office for half an hour.
From then on, Wang Kang remembered Yin Ming, and he was on strict guard against him. He refused to make any dangerous moves without permission.
"Okay, let's go. It's getting late and if we delay any longer, Commander Liu Zhi won't be able to teach us well."
Then Wang Kang led the people out of the command room and came to his beloved J-H 7-003 at the airport.
At this time, ground crews at the airport were installing aerial bombs on dozens of aircraft.
After more than ten minutes, all the aerial bombs from dozens of aircraft were finally placed.
At this time, Wang Kang first boarded his fighter plane, and then contacted other planes via radio.
"Now start checking the status of the aircraft, and each battalion commander will start reporting."
"All fighters in the first battalion are in normal condition."
"All fighters in the second battalion are in normal condition."
"All fighters of the third battalion are in normal condition."
"Now all fighter planes follow me and enter the runway one by one."
Then Wang Kang left first. The hangar entered the runway, and then pointed the front end of the fighter plane straight towards the end of the runway.
Then Wang Kang increased the thrust, and his fighter plane slid forward slowly, then faster and faster. Finally, the front end of the plane suddenly lifted and it lightly left the runway and flew into the sky.
As Wang Kang's plane left the ground, the other fighter planes behind him also left the ground one after another. After circling the airport for a week, they formed another formation over the airport and then flew north.
Due to current technical conditions, they do not have navigation satellites in the sky, and there are no radar stations on the ground to provide them with location coordinates.
So they could only rely on the navigation equipment on the plane to determine the direction, and then flew towards Jinan.
By the time the large fleet of aircraft arrived in the sky over Jinan, several plumes of smoke had already risen on the ground. This was the coordinate position Liu Zhi ordered to provide to the Air Force.
After Wang Kang took the plane and discovered the thick smoke rising from the ground, he flew forward for dozens of seconds and finally discovered the fortresses on the ground.
After Wang Kang discovered the target, he immediately issued an order to the entire chicken flock through the radio on the plane, "All fighters, please pay attention. I am now assigning attack targets, in groups of two, to attack their respective targets."
Then Wang Kang followed the guidance of the radar in the sky and assigned combat missions to other aircraft through data links.
After completing the distribution of the data link, Wang Kang once again ordered the fighters in the sky, "Initiate an attack immediately according to the established goals."
As Wang Kang ordered more than twenty planes, they immediately dispersed in the sky like fireworks. After circling for a week, they each rushed towards their goals.
The leader among them was Yin Ming. He drove his JH-7 and dived at a large angle towards his target. When he was more than 300 meters above the target, he started to fly levelly. Then he pressed the button and put it down.
Two 500kg bombs were fired.
The two bombs roared in the air, like the fortress on the ground.
At this time, the Qing troops in the fortress had discovered the aircraft that were constantly circling and roaring in the sky, but they really didn't know what they were flying in the sky.
However, these people were not stupid. When they looked at the flying thing in the sky and the sound was so loud, they knew it was not a good thing, so they either lay down in the trenches or hid in the bunkers, not showing their heads at all.
But their avoidance cannot bring them any safety.
With two sharp roars, the two heavy bombs launched their final charge towards the bunker on the ground.
Although the aerial bombs loaded on the J-H-7 this time are ordinary aerial bombs, they are still relative to the modern plane.
After all, these aerial bombs were purchased from modern times. They were equipped with some position adjustment equipment, so their accuracy was even better than the most advanced bombs at the end of World War II.
Because of this, the two heavy bombs hit the huge bunker on the ground one on the left and one on the right.
There is no problem in saying that these fortresses can withstand about 155mm artillery shells, but when they encounter these 500kg aerial bombs, they are like paper and are immediately blown into several pieces.
Among the masonry and cement that were blown into the sky, there were some fragments of human bodies mixed with them, which soon fell into the trenches surrounding the bunker.
And the people in the trenches were hit so hard that their heads were bruised and bleeding. It was considered good if they were hit and bleeding. If a piece of human body fell from the sky, it would be called unlucky.
Yin Ming's attack kicked off the air raid, and then the aerial bombs in the sky fell on the Qing army's positions one by one.
Those fortresses that were considered impregnable and indestructible by the advisers of the Will Country were also demolished one by one.
When this round of bombing was completed and the 24 aircraft regrouped in the sky and left, the Qing army's position had become a mess, and dozens of bunkers in the forward positions had all been destroyed.
This is still relatively light. In addition to the destruction of the bunkers, almost all the trenches were affected. The trenches that were originally damaged by the main artillery were now considered intact.
The soldiers in the trenches suffered heavy losses.
Because this time they attacked 500-kilogram aerial bombs, their attack power was even more powerful than heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 300 millimeters.
When an aerial bomb is dropped, there will be no living creatures within a few dozen meters of it. This time, Wang Kang brought more than 100 aerial bombs. Except for a considerable part of these aerial bombs that attacked the fortress, the rest fell on
It was above the trenches and positions, so this bombing could be said to have plowed Yuan Shikai's positions.
