Volume 42 Chapter 3 Attack Drill

Zhulongling is bordered by Gaoping County of Yanzhou. The governor's flying boat flew from Ninghe County of Yanzhou to Zhulongling. It only took three hours to enter the territory of Zhulongling.

Even if no one needs to be reminded, Lord Du Zai will know when the flying boat enters Zhulong's collar.

A group of silver planes, nine in total, lined up in a herringbone shape, at a height of more than 2,000 meters above the ground, in a neat formation, with the roar of aircraft engines, flew under the flying boat of Lord Duzai .

Compared with flying boats, the speed and size of the planes were pitifully small, but when he saw that group of planes for the first time, Mr. Du Zai's attention was still attracted by the group of planes.

Just entering the Zhulong collar, Mr. Du Zai, who had been frowning slightly all the way, suddenly opened his frown.

"That's the plane that uses candle oil?" Lord Duzai asked Gao Tianqi, his eyes staring at the plane in the clouds below the flying boat, his eyes shining.

"Yes, that's the plane!" Gao Tianqi also looked at the group of planes below the flying boat seriously on the flying boat. As the governor next to Lord Duzai, although he is only the commander of the guards of Lord Duzai in name, in reality, Because Lord Duzai has always trained Gao Tianqi as a future governor, Gao Tianqi actually also works part-time as half of the secretary of Lord Duzai. He pays attention to the military and political affairs in the Northeast Governor's Mansion. Gao Tianqi naturally has channels to get the corresponding information about these things that happened in the past month, "This aircraft is the Air Cavalry 1 aircraft produced by Zhulongling. In the past two months, various cities in Zhulongling have built and remodeled a batch A general-purpose airport that can take off and land airships and planes, there is also a flying school outside Xuantian City, called the Air Cavalry Flight Academy, which has attracted a group of young people in Youzhou to go crazy, even in other states and counties. People went to learn to fly airplanes..."

In this era, except for knights who can fly, no one else has the ability to fly. Therefore, it is very attractive for young people to let a person fly in the sky by driving a machine alone.

"Flight school, where did their instructors come from?"

"I heard that they are recruited from the airship crew who can fly a glider. The salary is good. The control and flight principle of the plane are not much more complicated than flying a glider. These people can try to fly as long as they get familiar with it. By the way, iron The textbook in the Dragon Flying Academy is called the "Flying Pilot Manual", and it is said that it was written by Qianji himself!"

Master Du Zai was really surprised, "Zhang Tie still has this kind of ability?"

"My lord, don't forget that before coming to Taixia, on the most intense battlefield in the Weiyi subcontinent against the demons, Qianji Daoist won the title of Eagle of Cernes when he was not yet an advanced knight. It is said that Qianji Zhenren was the only air cavalry soldier on the battlefield at that time, and could fly the only artificially powered aircraft on the battlefield. At that time, Qianji Zhenren could protect the safety of an airship troop in the sky by himself , regarded as the patron saint of the sky by many airship crews!"

If Gao Tianqi still felt jealous of Zhang Tie when Zhang Tie was still a black iron knight, at this time, because the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger, when Zhang Tie is mentioned, Gao Tianqi can't even feel any jealousy in his heart My thoughts are only admiration.

"Let's go, let's go down and have a look..." Lord Du Zai became interested, he didn't care whether he was on the flying boat or not, he just wanted to get off the flying boat to have a look.

Faced with this situation, Gao Tianqi could only explain to the people on the flying boat, and then flew down from the flying boat with Lord Duzai.

...

In the sky below,

The nine planes were flying, and unexpectedly, Cheng Honglie and Gao Tianqi flew down from above and flew directly to the side of the leading plane, just a few meters away from the plane, and began to look at the plane carefully while flying. , while evaluating the performance and value of the Zhulong Lingzhong aircraft in his heart.

Fortunately, it was probably not the first time for the pilot of that plane to encounter knights in the sky. Although the appearance of two knights, Cheng Honglie and Gao Tianqi, surprised him, he quickly calmed down.

The pilot made a gesture, and the other planes in the formation did not panic and flew as usual.

The leading plane is still the captain of this flight formation.

Just a few meters away, sitting in the shooting compartment behind the cockpit of the first plane, the crew member who controls the crossbow weapon on the plane is only in their twenties, and is staring at the flying a few meters away. Cheng Honglie and Gao Tianqi outside the plane.

For ordinary fighters, seeing two knights flying so close to them is an experience that is not often encountered.

Seeing that the flying formation did not panic after encountering the two knights, Lord Duzai nodded secretly.

The Air Cavalry Type 1 flying in the sky at this time, compared with the original prototype that Zhang Tie flew, has more features in the cabin cover, the seat layout in the cabin, the rear view mirror, the oxygen breathing system, and the rear shooting cabin. There are also some small changes in the details of the steam-powered crossbow style and other aspects. These changes are all based on the large-scale training of the Air Cavalry Type 1 in the past two months and the opinions of the pilots and shooters. Modifications, these modifications have finally determined the mass production form of the nine aerial cavalry type 1 in the sky.

Duzai and Gao Tianqi didn’t see the belly of these planes just now because of the angle of view in the sky. Now that they got closer, they saw the bottom of the nine planes, each with their own hangers. Something like a white phosphorus gel incendiary bomb on an airship.

The plane flew fast in the sky. Like Ninghe County, the ground under the Candle Dragon collar was also golden. At this time, the Candle Dragon collar was also in the summer harvest time.

This year's summer harvest in Ninghe County has turned into a big fire burning on the fertile land, but the summer harvest in Zhulongling is going on in full swing. When the food price is soaring, this year's good harvest in Zhulongling makes people Whether it is a group of rich and powerful families in various cities, or the small people in the farms, all of them are smiling and full of energy, as if they have not been affected by the outside world at all.

The farmland is a scene of busy harvesting. Only when they see the planes flying by in the sky, those harvesting people in the farmland will raise their heads, wipe off their sweat, and wave to the planes in the sky. or cheers.

In the past half a month, Mr. Duzai has traveled all over the Northeast Governor's Mansion in a flying boat, except for Youzhou, in all states, counties, and major grain-producing areas. In the past half month, what Mr. Duzai has seen is gloomy The situation, this year's summer grain harvest in various places is completely large-scale and catastrophic. Facing such a scene, no matter officials or ordinary people in various places, all of them are trembling and miserable all day long, and they suddenly come to Zhulongling. Seeing the vibrant and hopeful scene in the candle dragon's collar, Mr. Duzai felt his mood improved for an instant.

Although there were two more uninvited guests who were watching closely, the nine Air Cavalry Type 1 aircraft formed into a formation still insisted on their own flight route and were not affected in the slightest.

After flying for more than an hour, the nine planes had already flown over Wugong City and Dongyang City, and then entered the Yangui Mountain Range, and so flew over the Yangui Mountain Range for more than half an hour, covering an area with a radius of hundreds of kilometers. , in addition to soil, stones, and a small amount of bushes and weeds of the valley appeared below the flight formation.

It can be seen from the sky that on the ground in the valley, someone seems to have drawn a huge circular area with a diameter of several hundred meters with lime. A few kilometers away, many people in military uniforms were waiting on a hillside.

When the nine planes came to the sky above this valley, all the planes were like vultures hunting. When the wings turned, the entire formation was divided into two teams at once, roaring, from a height of several thousand meters Rapidly swooped down.

When the planes of the two teams were hundreds of meters above the circular area, the white phosphorous gel bomb hanging under the belly of each plane fell off from the bottom of the belly all of a sudden, heading towards the one on the ground. The circular area flew over, and when those things were tens of meters above the ground, all the thrown things burst into flames. In the blink of an eye, heat waves soared into the sky, and the entire huge circular area with a diameter of several hundred meters Most of the inside was covered in hot flames at once. The land, weeds, and even stones in the white circle were burning violently. The vegetation turned to ashes and disappeared while the stones were burning. The soil disintegrated in the middle of the fire, and the soil hardened during the burning. In the central area of ​​the white circle, because of the surrounding burning, the air became thinner and boiled...

When those planes started to swoop down, Cheng Honglie and Gao Tianqi had already stopped in the sky. In fact, when they saw the huge white circle on the ground, they knew exactly what these planes were doing. that's it.

This seems to be a live ammunition attack drill. What the two of them didn't expect was that the result of this drill was amazing. The nine incendiary bombs dropped by the nine planes immediately destroyed the area within the circle on the ground. It turned into a purgatory, even at a height of several thousand meters, both of them could feel the heat wave rising from the ground.

Ordinary white phosphorous gel bombs absolutely do not have such power, nor do they have such a powerful burning effect. What the nine planes dropped just now was not white phosphorus gel bombs, but a type more powerful than white phosphorus gel bombs. Incendiary bombs with stronger power, such incendiary bombs, Taixia has never had before... (To be continued. "")
