Text Chapter 945 The airship turns into a firebird

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Intensive explosions sounded in Tierra Colorada. After the US airship force appeared, the Chinese Air Force's airship force immediately dropped all the bombs and prepared for an air battle with the US airship force.  When carrying a large number of bombs, the maneuverability of the airship will be greatly restricted, which is not conducive to its performance in air combat.  None of the US airship units carry bombs. Their primary goal is to defeat the Chinese Air Force airship unit first and ensure that Tierra Colorada will no longer be bombed by the Chinese Air Force airship unit.

    After the bomb was dropped, the Chinese Air Force's airship force quickly rose in altitude, climbing to an altitude of 1,500 meters, and then charged at the US military's airship force.  The airship unit of the Chinese Air Force, the heavy airship is equipped with a 37mm rapid-fire cannon and a 127mm heavy machine gun.  The medium-sized airship is also equipped with a 127mm heavy machine gun.

    "Marshal, American airships have appeared. There are quite a lot of them, at least fifty or sixty! However, they are not very big, about the same size as our medium-sized airships!" Admiral Xie Dingkun said.

    "Order the anti-aircraft machine guns of all units to prepare. Once the US airships intend to bomb us, or break into the range of our anti-aircraft machine guns, fire on them immediately!" Marshal Zhao Bowen ordered.  All units of the Chinese Army are equipped with specialized anti-aircraft machine guns.  Each company has two 127mm anti-aircraft machine guns. The maximum anti-aircraft range reaches a height of two thousand meters, and the effective range is also about 1,500 meters.  Compared with the anti-aircraft machine guns modified from light and heavy machine guns in the US military, they are much more advanced.  However, there are usually no aerial targets for these anti-aircraft machine guns to use, so most of these anti-aircraft machine guns are used as heavy machine guns.  However, the power of anti-aircraft machine guns is much greater than that of heavy machine guns. If a 127 mm bullet hits a human body, it is enough to cut the human body in two.

    "Marshal, there are quite a few American airships. Can our airships defeat them?" General Du Qizheng said worriedly.  They are all army generals and are not familiar with the field of air combat.

    "I don't know either. We are not commanders of the Air Force. Let's leave it to professionals! We must believe General Chen Qifeng, he will not let us down. At least facing these US airships on the opposite side, we will definitely be able to win.  Yes!" General Zhao Bowen said firmly.  When the Chinese army is equipped with airships and used in actual combat, the Americans are still in the exploratory stage.  Even though the main target of the Chinese Air Force has now shifted to aircraft, the Chinese Air Force's airships are still technically much more advanced than the American airships. Under such circumstances, there is no reason why the Chinese Air Force's airship force will lose.  .

    "Marshal, it's just that Mexico is too close to the United States. With the industrial strength of the United States, there is no problem in producing hundreds or more airships every month. If they lose their airships, they can get quick replacements, and  We have lost the airship, and it will take a lot of time to replenish it. If this continues, it will be very detrimental to us!" General Xie Dingkun also said with some worry.

    "You can rest assured that I have already made arrangements. The Air Force has sent a fighter group to the Mexican battlefield. Now the transport ship has passed Hawaii and will be able to disembark in three days at most. I have ordered Acapulco  An airstrip is being built over there and it will be put into use in a day or two. By then, more fighter jets and bombers will arrive in Mexico, and the Americans want to compete with us for ownership of the sky. That is simply delusional!" Marshal Zhao Bowen  Said very domineeringly.  There is no doubt that all countries are now in the exploratory stage for the development of air forces or aircraft.  On the European battlefield, aircraft have been used in actual combat, but these aircraft are very crude and cannot be compared with Chinese aircraft. On the battlefield, they are only used for reconnaissance and calibration.  The Americans also started researching aircraft a few years ago, but they only produced some simple aircraft that cannot be applied in actual combat.  Therefore, it is simply delusional for the US military to compete with the Chinese Air Force for air supremacy.

    The worries on the faces of General Xie Dingkun and General Du Qizheng immediately disappeared. As senior generals of the Imperial Army, they also knew some of the situation of the Air Force.  The Chinese Air Force launched a new generation of fighters a few years ago. Its performance is much more advanced than the current fighters of various countries, and it has already begun mass production.  The Air Force now has a total of more than 500 fighter jets and more than 200 bombers. Newer fighter jets and bombers are still undergoing test flights.  In addition, the formation of the naval aviation force is also very smooth. The construction of four 'Emeishan-class aircraft carriers will be completed soon. It is expected that the four aircraft carriers will be able to form combat effectiveness by the end of this year.  By then, China will have an overwhelming victory over the United States in both the air and the sea.

    According to the predictions of the Chinese General Staff, next year will be a turning point in the Sino-US war.  The Chinese navy will destroy the Chinese navy, and the army will also attackInto the heart of America.  Then it will take one to two years to completely destroy the United States.  After all, the United States is a powerful country with a population of 80 million and the largest industrial strength in the world. It is absolutely impossible to destroy such a powerful country without a certain amount of time.

    In just such a short time, the airship forces of China and the United States had narrowed the distance. At a distance of more than a thousand meters, the airships of both sides began to engage in fierce exchanges of fire.

    The 19 heavy-duty airships of the Chinese Air Force Airship Force are the largest and have undoubtedly become the focus of the US military's attack.  However, the 37mm rapid-fire cannons and heavy machine guns on the heavy airships caused these US military airships to suffer a lot.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The heavy airship of the Chinese Air Force airship unit numbered KB opened fire violently at an American airship one thousand meters away. Shells from the 37mm rapid-fire cannon continued to explode around the US airship.

    These shells use delayed fuses. Even if they do not hit the target, within the effective killing range, the fragments generated after the shell explodes are enough to cut the airbag of the airship.  And once the airbag of the airship is destroyed, you can imagine what the consequences will be!

    Soldiers from both China and the United States have forgotten about fighting at this moment, and everyone has turned their attention to the battlefield in the air.  Although the scale of the air battle was only a hundred or so airships, the total number of crew members on board was only a few hundred.  However, this was the first large-scale air battle in human history.  Just the hundreds of airships in the sky, like floating clouds, covering the sky and the sun, is already very spectacular!

    ¡°May the gods and Buddhas in the sky bless us, may our air force defeat the Yankees, and teach those guys a lesson!¡± Many Chinese soldiers prayed for the airship force of the air force deep in their hearts.  After all, air combat is more dangerous than war on land.  Once the airship is damaged or even destroyed, the crew on board is likely to have a narrow escape.

    "Oh God! Punish these evil Chinese! Let them all go to hell!" The American officers and soldiers who were bombed by the Chinese Air Force's airship force for days were also praying to God. They had had enough of the Chinese Air Force's bombing.  , if all the Chinese airships can be shot down, they will no longer have to face the danger from the sky.

    In the sky, the airship troops from both sides launched fierce shooting, and the tracer bullets left traces in the sky.  However, although the firefight was fierce, it was difficult to hit the target.  The airship has nowhere to rely on in the sky. Whether it is a heavy machine gun or a rapid-fire cannon, it will produce a lot of recoil, which causes the airship's pod to shake violently and seriously affects the accuracy of shooting.  Often the enemy's airship has been aimed at the enemy, but when it is fired, the bullets and shells have already flown to nowhere.

    Under such circumstances, both sides can only ensure the accuracy of shooting by continuously reducing the distance.  However, overall, the Chinese Air Force's airship force takes a great advantage.  The US military's airships are only equipped with heavy machine guns. To hit the target in the air, you often need to rely on luck.  The Chinese Air Force's heavy airships are equipped with rapid-fire cannons, which undoubtedly increases the possibility of hitting the target.

    At 10 o'clock in the morning, the first airship to be hit appeared. A US airship was hit 800 meters away from the Chinese Air Force's No. 105 heavy airship. Several rapid-fire artillery shells were fired less than ten meters away from the airship.  It exploded at a distance of meters, and the fragments produced after the explosion of the shell cut the airbag of the US airship.  Because the airbags of US military airships are filled with hydrogen. Although this gas can bring a lot of lift to the airship, it is also very dangerous. After being hit, it can easily burn.  And once the airship burns in the sky, the crew on it has absolutely no chance of survival.

    This is exactly what happened to the US military airship. After being hit, the airship in the air bag quickly burned, and the entire air bag instantly turned into a huge fireball.  At the same time, the entire airship quickly fell to the ground, its speed getting faster and faster under the influence of gravity acceleration.  The falling airship looked like a huge burning firebird.

    "Oh God! It's been hit. Our airship has been hit!" Many US military officers and soldiers exclaimed. Even if they were not crew members on the airship, they all turned pale with fright. Everyone was shocked.  You know, the crew above must be dead!

    The officers and soldiers of the Chinese army and Japanese mercenaries cheered loudly and excitedly when they saw that the US airship was shot down!
