Alien Arms Empire

 In the old capital, the original palace looked a little dilapidated. No one had maintained or repaired it for a long time, and there were signs of damage everywhere.

　　This place was previously attacked by missiles from the Tang Empire, which destroyed a building. Zhao Kai fell seriously ill and did not have time to repair it. Later, when Zhao Yu came to power, he really had no money to manage any palaces.

Until the Qin State came over, most places here were still in the same state as when Zhao Kai died. In some places, there were even only a few old attendants and maids barely maintaining it.

Now, it has become an important command base for the Qin Army, with a large number of radio stations deployed, and a large number of air defense firepower points also used in the palace garden space.

 Because it is so big, a large number of soldiers can be deployed, and safety is guaranteed. In addition, there are a large number of underground fortifications built during the Zhao Kai period. Their existence provided a certain degree of safety bunkers for senior officers of the Qin Army.

Liu Zhi'an placed his headquarters here. His underground office was not Zhao Kai's ward, because he had to avoid suspicion and use the emperor's dormitory at will. For the generals of the feudal dynasty, it was still a good idea to lead the generals. There are some taboos.

 As time goes by, this war has begun to enter the second stage. The scale of the war has completely expanded, the number of troops participating in the war has begun to increase, and the brutality of the battle has also increased hundreds or thousands of times.

 The previous rapid advance and outing-style mobile warfare have ended, replaced by a real contest between the two armies.

In the sky, two Thunderbolt attack aircraft from the Tang Dynasty roared past the old capital, and they hovered over the Qin army as if they were in an uninhabited land.

There is no way to do this. After all, the Qin army's large number of anti-aircraft weapons have been lost on the way back. Now Liu Zhian's troops don't have many anti-aircraft guns in their hands.

 Dahua did not have many anti-aircraft guns equipped before, because Zhao Yu’s troops had air superiority. Their fighter jets are more advanced and their pilots are more skilled and experienced. Therefore, they can control the air and bomb Zhao Jie and Zhao Ji from time to time.

As a result, it was now a war between Qin and Tang. The shortcomings of Dahua's ground troops being rarely equipped with anti-aircraft weapons were infinitely magnified.

Liu Zhian was able to find tanks, cannons, and various cars and armored vehicles in the weapons arsenal of the Dahua Army, but he could not find anti-aircraft guns.

It’s not that there aren’t any. In fact, there are some, but the number is very small. These sparse anti-aircraft weapons could not threaten the Tang Army's thunder and lightning attack aircraft at all.

"General! The 510th Division has lost its position... The Tang Army's attack is so fierce that our troops cannot withstand it." The adjutant walked up behind Liu Zhian and reported to him about the loss of the position just now.

"As expected, the Tang Army cleared mines faster than I expected, so it was inevitable that they would lose their position. But it doesn't matter, the Tang Army captured their position, and a protrusion appeared... As long as we surround this protrusion If we don't make a fuss, the Tang army will be contained," Liu Zhian said calmly.

He put his hands behind his back and looked at the clear sky through the firing hole of the bunker, looking at the two Thunder attack aircraft hovering over the city.

“It would be great if we also had such a powerful aircraft.” Yesterday, Liu Zhian saw with his own eyes the scene of a Thunder attack aircraft using its cannon to straf the ground. The scene was indeed unforgettable.

 Compared to those attack aircraft in the past, the Thunderbolt's attack power is really too strong, and the impact it brings to ground troops is even worse than that of the Stuka. Li Zhian was envious of the shock caused by the 30mm caliber rotary cannon strafing during the dive. If he had such aircraft support above his head, he would even dare to launch a counterattack against the Tang army.

You must know that the reason why the Tang Army's ground forces are so strong is simply that a large number of tanks and armored vehicles form a torrent of steel, which is invincible and invincible. If the Qin army had thunder and lightning attack aircraft, it would naturally be able to easily harvest the ground and prevent the Tang army's steel torrent from advancing.

After sighing with emotion, the Qin Army general continued to ask: "How is the Air Force doing? No matter how great the losses are, you must persist and support us, right?"

 As a general of the Qin Army, Liu Zhian was very dissatisfied with the performance of the Qin Air Force. The other party almost suffered from Tangphobia, and when he saw the Tang Dynasty's plane, it flew faster than a rabbit.

 It’s not that Liu Zhian looks down on the Air Force. If such a fight could be accepted, then the word deserter would not exist in the world!

  In the past few dozen days, the Qin Air Force has done almost nothing except withdrawing aircraft from the airport near Dongqing.

They abandoned field airfields in Fengping, Shanchong and other areas along the way and rescued ground crews and pilots. However, these are all runaway operations, and they don’t sound nice to say.

In addition, the Qin Air Force lost more than 500 aircraft, including dozens of Type 47 transport aircraft, dozens of Stukas, and dozens of Type 183 jet fighters.

The remaining nearly 300 aircraft are all P-36 and P-40 fighter jets. Most of these propeller fighters were destroyed on the ground by the Tang Army's air strikes.

Facing the air force of the Tang Empire, the Qin army pilots almost did not dare to take off to fight. Most of the aircraft were destroyed on the ground, and very few fighter jets took to the air to fight.

Under such circumstances, it was natural for the Qin army to lose air supremacy on the battlefield. The sky was full of Tang Army planes, and it was natural that the Qin ground troops were miserable.

"General...the Air Force said that their jet fighters suffered heavy losses and needed time to readjust their tactics. There is no way to continue participating in the war in a short period of time." The adjutant explained to Liu Zhian helplessly.

Liu Zhian sneered. Although as a traditional general, he was used to solving problems on his own, he was still a little dissatisfied that friendly forces could not help him at critical moments.

He has already risked his life to fight for the future of the empire, but those idiots in the Air Force still care about his own life and death... What a bunch of short-sighted idiots.

"Then let them continue to hide behind! I'll see where they can hide when they get outside Wuyang City!" Liu Zhian said this, and then stopped talking.

 Because the two Thunder attack aircraft had already flown back, the engine noise was quite noisy, swallowing up many small sounds.

On this day, the forward troops of the Tang Army easily penetrated the first line of defense of the Qin Army, and the battle between the two armies continued.
