.When the weather is good, the Ming Air Force can continue to carry out carpet bombing of Prague City.
It doesn't matter the other way round. This time is different from last time. The ground troops are equipped with a large number of weapons.
"Zhengde" rocket launcher. One armored brigade and three mechanized infantry brigades under the Third Army have a total of 144 guns.
"Zhengde" rocket launcher. With twenty consecutive rounds, nearly 2,900 rockets can be dropped into the city in one go.
Fighting five times a day, the effect is not much worse than bombing on a scale of hundreds of aircraft. Of course, you can also fire more rockets, depending on the supplies your unit has received.
In order to ensure the smooth advancement of the front-line troops, Zhang Huangyan has ordered each army to be equipped with a supply brigade.
Each brigade is under the jurisdiction of ten squadrons, each squadron is organized into five squads, and each squad is equipped with 400 heavy-duty trucks.
This means that each army can be supported by 20,000 trucks, and by the way, the loot accumulated on the front line and the wounded who need to be transported can be transported to the rear.
To ensure nothing goes wrong, each team will be protected by a company, and there will also be soldiers armed with submachine guns on each truck to escort the supplies.
The transportation routes are all fixed, and there are towns occupied by the coalition forces at certain distances that are used as rest points.
During the day, the convoy will be protected by aircraft. On rainy days, it can rest on the spot to avoid being raided by the enemy. It doesn't matter if it keeps raining along the way.
The Air Force will convert its bomber formations into transporting supplies and airdrop them directly to front-line troops. The reason why Emperor Haojing sent so many bombers was just in case.
If the weather is fine, bombers can carry out carpet bombing. If it rains continuously, the bomber can be used as a transport aircraft.
Since there was no fierce resistance during the early advance, the time to reach the target was short, and the supply situation was relatively good, so that each department had sufficient food and medicine.
The only shortcoming is that ammunition is consumed relatively quickly, especially rockets. In just a few tens of seconds, ten trucks of rockets are gone... The more rockets on the front line, the faster the ammunition is consumed. This This thing is not like a bomber, and you don't have to return to the aircraft to reload. It's extremely hard to eat supplies on the spot.
In just three days, the Third Army defeated all the Rockets it brought, so much so that Lu Xuecheng denounced that of course, this was just lip service.
If they hadn't been deliberately sparing their weapons, all the officers and soldiers of the rocket launcher battalion would have been able to rest where they were in one day.
We save ammunition, and we don’t know how to attack with words... Even under this situation, Prague was hit by three large-scale air strikes and twelve batches of rocket launchers in five days!
Is this the end? exactly the opposite! If the defenders surrendered after only holding on for five days, Lu Xuecheng would feel that he had not even passed Zuyin!
The Commander-in-Chief is a disciple of the Emperor, and it says that this seems to be the last battle against the West in the near future. This means that there will be no war of the same or larger scale in the short term, unless France and other countries are willing to come to seek death.
In this case, it is even more important to stop after having fun! If we didn't hit Prague with 100,000 rockets, wouldn't it be equivalent to underestimating the barbarian defenders in the city?
This move may be regarded as a prodigal by the Commander-in-Chief, but why do you insist on refusing to surrender? This is understandable!
How would you live without rockets? Aren’t they also equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery? They would definitely feel bad if the gentlemen from the Ministry of War were to sell brand new heavy artillery at a discount, but they would have no idea about the second-hand goods that were almost used. That was really wholesale and retail!
According to the Ministry of War
"Traditional virtue", after selling the second-hand goods, I deliberately buy brand new ones. The money I can get from the cash out may be more than the factory price!
The Ministry of War can still get commissions, so why not? According to different usage conditions, they are divided into 30% new, 50% new, 70% new, and a small part are 90% new.
"90% new" means that it has not been used much when it is brought to the front line. After a few dozen symbolic shots, the war is over.
If you take it back, you have to pay for the gas, so it will be sold directly to the next owner. After the last war against the Holy Roman Empire, Zhang Huangyan sold hundreds of heavy artillery, thousands of tanks, and more than 100,000 rifles and submachine guns to the Ottoman Empire.
As long as the people at the front line of the Ministry of War sign and fingerprint, and then send a telegram to the north, the court will open its mouth and wait for the cashed silver coins to be delivered, which saves time and effort.
Some countries in the world that cannot afford brand new weapons, including the Ottoman Empire, which cannot replace its entire army with new weapons, are actually waiting for the Ming Empire to fight its enemies!
Because whether the Ming Empire wins or there is a stalemate between the two sides, a large number of second-hand goods with good performance will be eliminated in the end for everyone to choose from.
Although the quality is not as good as brand new, the price is cheap and the quantity is large, even for second-hand ironclads.
Therefore, the default rule in the world arms market is that the Ming Empire does not go to war, and the armies of many countries cannot change their equipment!
For things like rocket launchers, the launcher installed on the truck chassis is a director, which adjusts the direction and angle. The launcher itself does not play a role in boosting the rocket.
If it enters the arms market, the buyer will mainly check the maintenance status of the truck, and the rest will be secondary. Daming can even replace the buyer with a new launcher for free.
If the other party purchases enough rockets at one time, you can even get a free launch vehicle!
Now, due to the power,
The "Zhengde" rocket launcher has not yet entered the international arms market. Emperor Haojing believed that at least within ten years, Ming Dynasty would not need to use this thing to cash out.
More importantly, if it is copied by France and other countries, the related technology will flow into hostile countries, which will pose a great threat to the Ming Dynasty.
"Zhengde" rocket launcher is just like
The "Flamingo" fighter jets are the latest products and will be the same as the original ones.
Like the "Black-footed Albatross", there is a long enough arms ban period. While the defenders in the city asked Crown Prince Joseph for help, they also reported that they had been bombed and shelled on an unprecedented scale. The rocket launchers fired by the opponent made them unable to defend themselves.
Prague is connected to Vienna, Regensburg, Dresden and other places by wired cables, making it easier for the cities to communicate with each other.
Lu Xuecheng did not order these cables to be cut off after his troops surrounded Prague. He just wanted the defenders to keep calling for reinforcements, so that his troops could besiege the city and call for reinforcements.
Spending so many aerial bombs, artillery shells, and rockets just to clean up the defenders in Prague City would be a bit of a loss!
After receiving a request for help from the Prague defenders, Crown Prince Joseph once again fell into the dilemma of the last war.
In the air battle that just passed, the Imperial Air Force lost 695 fighter planes, including hundreds of pilots.
At this rate of consumption, the Imperial Air Force will be reduced to nothing in less than a week... Crown Prince Joseph believes that the Yellow-skinned Monkey's losses in the last air battle will not be too small, at least more than two hundred aircraft.
But Joseph also understood that the other party was unkind and had come prepared. Even if 300 fighters and a corresponding number of pilots are lost, there will still be at least 2,000 fighters that can continue to fight.
Before the war began, Joseph ordered the training of 5,000 pilots. Together with the original pilots of the Air Force and the pilots from various countries who volunteered to participate in the war, the total number was close to 6,000.
If it weren't for the yellow-skinned monkey's military strength, the number of pilots from various countries would be much higher.
In front of the seemingly powerful yellow-skinned monkey, the so-called spirit of chivalry with the courage to sacrifice disappeared... Joseph did understand the reason why those people were unwilling to come to join the battle, but the excuse was somewhat unacceptable.
Pilots from all countries are not fools. Their lives are their own, and they only have one chance to survive. The performance of our own fighter planes is inferior to that of the opponent, and the opponent uses machine guns.
In front of the cannon, any fighter plane will be instantly smashed into pieces. The body is in pieces, where is your own body?
Is there any need to think too much? A pile of fragments plus a pile of minced meat, this is the tragic end that is completely imaginable!
It can be said that the pilots of the Ming Army are all instructor-level in the air forces of various countries. Most of the tactics of our own air force were learned from the Ming Empire. Now the students want to beat the teacher and even kill the teacher.
Can this be something relaxing and enjoyable? Therefore, pilots from all countries are very worried about this. Let alone shooting down an enemy plane, even successfully parachuting is considered lucky.
The title of the world's number one air force is not earned by bragging, it is earned by sweeping all enemies.
How terrible is it to kill hundreds of opponent's fighter planes in a single air battle? There is another implementation that the air forces of various European countries are unwilling to admit, that is, the Ming Empire's air force has become stronger and stronger.
As we all know, pilots can only increase their own strength by passing actual combat tests. Daily drills are always an auxiliary tool.
Rookie pilots with no actual combat experience will never be able to defeat experts with rich actual combat experience. This was the case with the Ming Empire Air Force.
There are more than 5,000 fighter pilots with practical combat experience alone. If not, there are 10,000 second-tier echelons, and 15,000 pilots can be invested in a short period of time.
If that's not enough, bombers, transport planes, and helicopter pilots can also be thrown into the battle. The quality of the pilots itself is high, and there are enough pilots.
For the air forces of various European countries, this battle is impossible to fight... The opponent's pilots are good enough and the fighter jets have excellent performance. When combined, the advantage becomes even greater.
France has also developed a single-engine fighter with outstanding performance. The model in the Holy Roman Empire is
"Falcon" style. In order to deceive others, especially not to overly irritate the Ming Empire, this fighter aircraft was called
"Vulture" style. The French Air Force originally thought that Joseph had nearly 1,500 aircraft in hand
"Falcon" style, even if you can't beat it
The "Black-footed Albatross" can at least sneak attack the opponent's bombers. I never expected that the Ming Empire would come up with another single-engine fighter jet, and I heard that it could be completely suppressed in actual combat.
"Falcon" style. Doesn’t this mean that all these years of hard work have been in vain?
The "Falcon" type was developed by the French aviation industry at a huge cost.
The "Vulture" style is nothing more than transferring technology to the Holy Roman Empire. Before the war began, the French Air Force had already equipped as many as two thousand aircraft.
However, after the two sides fought hard to pull Qaqa, they suddenly discovered that
The "Falcon" is no match for the opponent's new fighters. The Holy Roman Empire Air Force informed the French Air Force that two
The "Falcon" can neutralize a new enemy aircraft. The French Air Force believed that the other side was deliberately concealing the fact that only three or four aircraft could fight against one enemy aircraft.
In fact, the French Air Force is also willing to believe that
The "Falcon" style can challenge the opponent alone. After all, it is a proud local product. The report of the Battle of Bohemia (Third Battle of Prague) was that the Holy Roman Empire Air Force lost 300
At the expense of "Falcon" fighter jets, two hundred enemy planes were shot down. That's a loss of 1.5 aircraft.
The "Falcon" can shoot down a new enemy aircraft, and it seems to have achieved quite good results. However, the French pilots who participated in the war reported after returning that the air battle was actually one-sided.
The Holy Roman Empire Air Force dispatched more than 500 aircraft
"Falcon" type, the number of our own single-engine fighters is also similar. However, after the first head-on charge, more than two hundred of our own aircraft were shot down, and then they were beaten and fled.
That new enemy aircraft
The "Falcon" fighter jet is much faster and faster than the twin-engine fighter jet.
The "Eagle" fighter jet has a small turning radius, excellent maneuverability, and has superior firepower to both.
This report made Louis XIV very unhappy, as if the French Air Force had just suffered a disastrous defeat.
This directly shows that the French aviation industry is still far behind the Ming Empire and must continue to work hard to catch up.
As for the two new fighters, the single-engine
"Vulture" type and twin-engine
The "carved" style must continue to be produced. If production is suddenly stopped, the French Air Force will not be able to upgrade and reduce production costs.
If production continues, Louis XIV will feel sorry for the silver coins in his pocket. He was extremely reluctant to produce a fighter jet that lagged behind the Ming Empire.
The sudden retreat of the Ming Empire last time made Louis XIV extremely happy, which showed that the world's number one also had such an end.
But I felt disappointed because I didn't get the cake of western Germany. If the Holy Roman Empire wins, the French Empire will certainly not be able to continue expanding eastward.
On the contrary, Louis XIV was unwilling to see the western border of the Ming Empire bordering his own country. At this time, the European emperor was very conflicted. The problem of fighter jets was actually a trivial matter... If he couldn't fight, he would give them all to Leopold. Two thousand of them.
"Vulture" type, five hundred
"Carving" style, 500 vehicles
"Roland" heavy tank, one thousand vehicles
"Joan of Arc" medium tanks, as well as a thousand heavy guns and light weapons capable of arming 200,000 people, can all be given to him free of charge.
The price is also very simple, that is, the western region of Germany will permanently become part of the French Empire!
Is it expensive? Louis XIV felt that once he lost the war, Leopold would no longer be emperor.
Even the Holy Roman Empire will become a historical term like the Roman Empire, nothing more!
