New Ming Empire mixed in America

After receiving the airship, Sun Laifu was scratching his head about how to command and arrange it.

As if seeing Sun Laifu's dilemma, the leader of the Jin Yiwei team who got off the airship said with a smile:

"Just mark the enemy's location on the map, and we will launch air strikes at the target location."

The word "air raid" was a new term he heard from His Majesty, and now he took it out to show off in front of people like Sun Laifu.

"You are going to launch an attack from the air, aren't you doing reconnaissance?"

Sun Laifu's statement about Jin Yiwei is a bit unbelievable. Isn't the role of airships just for reconnaissance?

Why does the opponent look like he wants to use this big guy to fight now?

"What kind of anger do you have inside, right? If you were shot, wouldn't you be in danger?"

Liang Youwen, the commander of the third brigade, couldn't help but ask.

Airships are classified as confidential in the Xinming Empire, so few people know the situation.

Now we have to carry out actual combat, so this secret can be disclosed to the military.

"If we miss, we will launch an attack from a very high place. This time we will test all the bombs that need to be tested. You just need to mark the location."

Jin Yiwei, who was leading the team, patiently explained a few words.

Seeing that the Jin Yiwei was unwilling to say more, Sun Laifu and the others stopped questioning him.

This time, Li Mingqi informed them to postpone the attack and wait for the experiment of new weapons, which was enough to surprise them.

Because the defense line now commanded by Zaragoza himself is very difficult to attack. Not only is it equipped with a lot of artillery, but it also builds trenches in the style of the National Defense Forces.

After being shelled again and again, Mexican soldiers became more and more skilled at digging trenches, and their trenches were constantly improved.

Although it is not yet systematic, I believe that after this battle, Zaragoza's understanding of trenches will be improved to a higher level.

Except for those who had to stay behind, the rest of the airship's crew followed Sun Laifu to the combat command room.

Start proofreading your map based on the surrounding terrain on the sand table.

After the map was marked and the crew members replenished some food, they started preparing for takeoff again.

Among the orders they received, the most important one was to conduct combat experiments. Not only was it an issue with the long-distance voyage of the airship, but they were also very unfavorable about the idea of ​​dropping bombs from the airship.

You must know that when they flew over just now, Sun Laifu could clearly see the flying altitude of the other party.

Let alone carrying out accurate bombing at that height, just finding the target is enough for these people to drink.

Watching the airship replenishing play supplies go away again, Sun Laifu smacked his lips and said:

"After this battle, I have to go to the military academy to find some knowledge about this. If it works, this kind of airship will allow our soldiers to reach the battlefield faster."

After hearing this, the first brigade commander Liu Lizhi said: "I feel that this kind of airship is likely to form a separate unit, just like the original heavy artillery regiment."

His words immediately extinguished Sun Laifu's enthusiasm.

"As much as you talk a lot, haven't the heavy artillery regiments been integrated into the National Defense Forces now?"

When Liang Youwen saw Sun Laifu's somewhat stiff smile, he immediately jumped out and yelled at Liu Lizhi, then smiled and said to Sun Laifu:

"Commander, even if this big guy is assigned to our National Defense Forces, we can't handle it."

"Look at this thing. It's bigger than a battleship. The logistics department can't assign a regiment to it. Our third brigade can't afford this big guy."

Listening to his two subordinates constantly causing trouble, Sun Laifu snorted and said:

"Are your troops ready? When the big balloon comes back, that's when you launch the general attack. If anyone loses his position, don't blame me for scolding you then."

The crew members on the airship were not interested in the discussion of these officers of the National Defense Force. At this time, several main members on the airship were gathering together to discuss the next experimental steps.

"Dean Zhang Yu said, let us use all weapons once, don't forget to take notes when the time comes..."

The leading Jin Yiwei explained from above, and several members below nodded at the same time.

One of the young people from the Umbrella Youth League raised his hand during the meeting and asked:

"There is no problem in testing those bombs in the air, but those new guns need to be tested at a lower altitude. This is very likely to be dangerous."

"It doesn't matter if we sacrifice, but the airship cannot afford to lose..."

After he finished speaking, everyone in the conference room started discussing.

They all know the defensive power of the airship. As long as it is hit by someone with a gun several times, it may cause the airship to crash.

"We will launch low-altitude shooting after dropping those incendiary barrels, and then we will just ask the artillery of the National Defense Force to cooperate."

In the end, the leader Jin Yiwei came up with the solution.

Everyone's spirits were shocked when they heard about the special burning barrel.

They have all seen the power of that thing. After an iron bucket as tall as a person explodes, an area of ​​more than ten meters in radius will be enveloped in flames.

Although the burning time is not long, it is still more than enough to burn someone to death.

The scene of overwhelming flames falling from the sky made them all tremble.

Soon, the airship pilot team members followed the map and arrived near the battlefield.

Using binoculars from the air, they could clearly see the distribution of troops from both sides on the ground. When they saw the soldiers in the Mexican camp unsuspectingly starting to eat, a sneer appeared on everyone's face.

Because of the height, the first choice target for the airship's attack was the tents and supplies in the Mexican camp.

They can also see the trenches on the front line, but at this stage, it can be said that it is fanciful to accurately drop various bombs near the trenches.

It would be terrible if the bomb was accidentally dropped on the defense line of the Wehrmacht.

This situation has occurred several times during exercises. After the bomb is dropped, no one can predict where it will be blown by the wind.

Even if the bombs are improved now, it won't work. You have to worry about anything, so to be safe, it is more reliable to place the experimental target behind the Mexican defense line.

"Is that our new weapon?" a Wehrmacht sentry asked in disbelief, raising his head.

As for why he was sure that the airship in the sky belonged to the Xinming Empire, it was of course because of the Sanchen flag pattern underneath the airship.

"It should be. I heard that we delayed the attack time just for this reason."

The sentry squad leader looked up for a while, then put down the telescope, took a photo of the sentry's helmet, and said:

"Don't look at it. You can't fly up even if you look at it. Now focus your attention on those Mexicans. Quickly record the coordinates and notify the artillery brothers to greet them properly."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but look up at the airship in the sky.

Now the soldiers of the National Defense Force are a little numb to the new weapons produced by the Royal Research Institute in two days.

Just some time ago, the weapons of the National Defense Forces were updated, and everyone used the repeating rifles that they had coveted before.

This rifle, which used to be standard equipment for the Royal Guards, could be loaded ten times without repeatedly pulling the bolt.

This is much easier to use than the big bolt guns they had in the past that used one shot and one pull of the bolt.

There are also those newly issued grenades. In the past, they were divided into defensive grenades and offensive grenades.

Now there is no need. If you put on a jacket wrapped with steel balls, it will be a defensive grenade, and if you don't use a jacket, it will be an offensive grenade. You no longer have to worry about making mistakes during combat.
