Of course, the property rights of the airship force belonged to the Qing Dynasty, but the funny thing is that the command power of the airship has always been in the hands of the Chinese.
From the deputy captain who directs the flight to the operators, maintenance workers, and engineers... they are all hired from the Chinese with high salaries. In an airship, only the captain who directs the military and the combatants are the ones with pigtails. Officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.
This is very interesting. The people inside an airship are divided into two groups. One side has braids and the other does not!
It shows that the airship should be commanded by the captain of the Qing Dynasty, but all fools know that if such a high-tech thing wants to exert its combat effectiveness, it must listen to the technical personnel.
People say safety is safety, and the altitude is whatever they say. If you want to make the decision without permission, I'm sorry that the emperor takes the safety of the airship as his lifeblood. He will never take risks.
Therefore, in the airship force, the Chinese deputy captain has always been the most prestigious. This is also an aspect of the fact that technology is the primary productive force.
Now that I heard that the airship can descend to fifteen meters again, the people fighting are gearing up and their eyes are shining with excitement. The huge airship is slowly pressing down like a mountain, and the panic of the rebel army has intensified!
"Fire...fire...keep firing..." Nastu was crazy. He had no choice but to order his men to shoot. The bullets hit the armor and made a random crackling sound. The bullets that fell were still warm. Falling into the collar of the rebels burned them to death.
"What a fool! Choose the grenadier! Whoever is stronger can throw a grenade up to fifteen meters!"
Grenadiers, a branch of arms that was once popular in Europe after the Middle Ages, are tall, strong and brave warriors. Their important task is to throw explosives at close range!
Because the power of explosives in the past was relatively small, in order to ensure the lethality, the weight had to be increased. Half of the soldiers with weak arm strength could not throw them far at all.
Of course, the profession of grenadier has disappeared now, but the title of grenadier is still popular in some European countries!
Prussia and Germany still retain the name Grenadier, but the combat mission is no different from other units. It is just an honor to wear this title.
Just like the common Tiger Regiment, Sharp Knife Company, Wild Wolf Camp...etc.!
Facing the airship, Nastu had no choice but to resort to the tactics he used more than a hundred years ago. More than a dozen warriors with strong bodies and super strong arms gathered together.
Two or three grenades were tied together and ordered to be thrown upward toward the airship!
Boom boom boom... The grenade exploded at the place closest to the airship, and the fire shot into the sky. It could be seen clearly from far away. Finally, the rebels saw hope, and they all cheered.
But when the fire and smoke dissipated, they discovered that apart from blackening the armor, there was no other result at all!
It cannot be said that there were no results at all. Li Tuo exclaimed, "Rescue quickly...the second machine gunner on the left wing has been shot!"
The fragments of the explosion flew up in the air, and the No. 2 machine gun position on the left wing of the Tianshan Dragon airship was heavily covered. The shooter and loader were hit by shrapnel in their chests, and blood dripped down. Everyone had already passed out, and they were just leaning on each other. The safety rope was tied so that it didn't fall.
"Save people... Damn, isn't this the fifth division down there? It turns out they are rebelling, it turns out they are rebelling... I said the prince and Master Fu Qing are not so cowardly, how could they be defeated so miserably?"
"It turns out that the Fifth Division has rebelled... It's stupid!" Er Mao slammed his fist on the railing in anger, and Li Tuo next to him suddenly rushed over, "Be careful!"
Boom... Another grenade exploded in mid-air near where Er Mao was standing. If Li Tuo hadn't been clever, Er Mao might have died as well.
Li Tuo's nose started to bleed. "Fuck! Did Nastu become determined after eating the weight? Then don't blame the court for being unkind... Burn!"
"Spread all the kerosene we brought and burn these bastards to death..."
The airship soldier who had suffered a loss acted immediately upon hearing the order. The tinplate kerosene barrels were neatly stacked in the warehouse. The airship soldier unscrewed the screw cover, stuffed a handful of cotton yarn, lit it, and threw it down!
The flames rose up and burned in mid-air. Kerosene was sprinkled on the top of the military formation like rain, and then sparks shot out and flames suddenly burst into flames.
ah! Help... ah... screams came one after another, and the burning people were rolling on the ground!
Those grenadiers were the first to be burned by the flames, and none of them escaped, and they were all turned into coke!
No matter how he resisted this, Anstu had no choice. At this moment, the airship was approaching the artillery position, and the range of the heavy machine gun had already covered the artillery position!
The Japanese soldier Liu Yimin yelled anxiously, and the war horse turned around in circles angrily, "That's my artillery! Get the artillery out... I don't care how many people die, I want the artillery, get the artillery out..." "
The artillerymen couldn't care less about the ammunition boxes. They pushed the cannons and scattered away one by one, avoiding the airship and retreating to the rear!
No matter how fast you run on the ground, you can't fly as fast as you fly in the sky. Soon the bullets will catch up!
Puff... Puff... Puff... The bullets flew away, and another earth dragon rose up, chasing after it from behind. The soldier who was pushing the cannon was immediately nailed to the ground!
You can't run away now! If the airship bites you, where do you want to escape? Dozens of earth dragons fired and rolled back and forth. The retreating artillerymen were plowed back and forth by the earth dragons, and they were completely killed one after another.
Li Tuo was even more ruthless. He sprinkled several barrels of kerosene directly over the artillery. He burned the Chinese-made 88 field artillery!
Generally speaking, cannons are not afraid of fire, and they can still be used after cleaning. However, due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction of burned cannons, the accuracy of the parts will be greatly reduced, and even slight deformation will occur.
This gun will not be easy to use in the future. If the barrel is deformed, the possibility of exploding the barrel will increase!
Guiziliu is bleeding from heartache. He doesn’t care about human life. He cares about cannons. If you have money, there’s nowhere to buy them!
Count on the British? The British want to sell it to you, but they can't deliver it. The Japanese still don't have a port under their control, so how can they deliver it to the British?
Yi Xin's throat felt sweet with anger. He swallowed half a mouthful of blood and suddenly pointed at Fuqing's military formation in front of him. "Don't think that you will definitely win with the airship. I will win in the end!"
"Order the entire army to press forward... and charge forward. With a hundred thousand people, can I still drown these tens of thousands of tired soldiers?"
"He fights his, I fight mine... give up defense and attack with all!"
"Stang together with Fuqing's people... I wonder if his airship dares to open fire!"
"I will trade my life for my life! I also want to win!"
