George Yilu already knew that something bad was going to happen!
But now he is powerless, because all his airships loaded with "manned guided power gliding bombs" have completed the release of the "bombs"... and there is no way to take them back!
Although all the senior officials of the Royal Navy Air Force, including George Elliot, insisted that the "human-guided power gliding bomb" was not a suicide weapon - Christianity was against killing oneself. If it was a suicide weapon, then not only would there be no one to act as a "bomb operator", but George Elliot himself would have to be masturbated by Emperor William.
This Emperor William also believed in God, so how could he send his men to hell?
But in fact, everyone knows very well that the "bomb operator" of the "man-operated guided power gliding bomb" has basically no chance of survival. Although they can survive the training, training and actual combat are two different things... In actual combat, there are corpses everywhere in the field, but in training, there is usually no danger in volleying!
In a training environment, "bomb operators" can easily drop the training bombs on the target ship, then slowly fall into the water, and will soon be salvaged by sailors driving speedboats. Someone will immediately bring towels and hot soup...
However, in a real combat environment, there will be people using various murderous weapons to fire at the "bomb operators", and when they fall into the water, there will be no speedboats, dry towels or hot soup, only hunger. Roaring sharks and icy water!
But the real actual combat was beyond George Yilu's expectation... Yilu originally thought that only people would attack the "bomb operators" with guns and cannons on the ship, but now the Ming army has let the aircraft fly from the small ship. Take off from the ship deck!
Moreover, these two-wing, two-engine, two-seater aircraft are obviously equipped with machine guns. Therefore, those "suicide planes" that Yilu thought were actually "killer planes"!
Thinking of this, George Elliot had no choice but to make a cross on his chest - although he couldn't do anything for those "bomb operators", he could at least pray for them.
...
"Bomb Operator" Smith, who comes from the Irish countryside, is a good young man who believes in God, is loyal to the king, loves potatoes and the land, has no bad habits, and is honest and upright. Although his family is very poor, and the land cultivated by his ancestors for generations has become the property of the Protestant English aristocrats, he still loves his British Empire and King William of England... That's why he did not go to the New World with a few other villagers who dreamed of going to the New World. Like the young slave owners, he boarded a steamship bound for the United States, but chose to become a soldier of the Royal Navy and came to the Indian Ocean thousands of miles away to defend the interests of the British Empire.
Moreover, he also volunteered to serve as a "bomb operator" that only the bravest Christians can serve... It sounds very powerful!
In the past few months of training, he has also fully understood the dangers, excitement and high honor of "bomb operator", and of course the heavy rewards given by His Majesty the Emperor. If he can get this money, he can buy a piece of land in his native Ireland where he can grow a lot of potatoes and become a potato landowner!
But it's not easy to become a potato farmer in Ireland, because the "human-guided power glide bomb" is a piece of equipment that is difficult to maneuver - it is actually a small glider with a little power. The glider consists of a delta wing, tail, engine pod, and bomb pod. The bomb operator does not have an independent pod, but rides on the bomb! After the bomb was thrown away, the bomb operator had to use his own arms to grab the two handles under the engine pod and be suspended by the glider until he fell into the water. And during this process, because he had to hold the handle with both hands, he couldn't control the glider, so he could only decide where it fell.
The reason for such a design is, firstly, to reduce weight; secondly, because the bomb operator does not want to throw away the bomb prematurely.
In order to prevent the bomb operators from "throwing" themselves away before completing the task, all bomb operators have not learned to skydive, and they are not equipped with parachutes.
When Smith was lying on a 100-pound bomb and was pushed out of the airship cabin, he could only try to "fuck" the bomb that was difficult to "fuck"...the first step of "fucking the bomb" It was a pimp--a pimp on the crude rotary engine to start it.
After the advanced aircraft was activated, the "human-guided powered gliding bomb" had a little power, so that he could work hard to control the rudder on the gliding bomb and fly the gliding bomb toward the target. During the flight, you have to lower the altitude through the elevator, and finally pass over the target at a suitable height, and drop the bomb in time... The difficulty of this operation seems very high, "actually "Fuck" is almost like sending someone to death!
However, the brave "Bomb Operator" Smith still firmly believed that God would keep him safe and sound...until he saw a "Bi-wing Man-operated Guided Powered Gliding Bomb" with the emblem of the Ming Dynasty flying toward him unsteadily. Come!
Smith was dumbfounded. He thought to himself: "The Ming Dynasty is really advanced! Look at their man-operated guided power gliding bomb... double wings, double seats, double engines, it's so advanced!"
"Ta-ta-ta..."
When Smith was feeling envious, the Ming Dynasty's "bi-wing man-operated guided power gliding bomb" had already fired two tracer rounds at him!
Fortunately, Smith was not hit.
"God, why are they still installing machine guns on the gliding bombs?" Smith was confused. Daming's "gliding bomb" was so advanced that it could actually attack other people's "gliding bombs"!
What should I do?
While Smith was in a hurry, the "bi-wing gliding bomb" had already whizzed past him.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the "bi-wing gliding bomb" had already made a small circle in the sky and flew behind his butt!
Nothing good will happen if an aircraft equipped with a machine gun gets behind anyone's back!
Smith hurriedly pulled his rudder to avoid the bullets that might hit him from behind, but unfortunately it was too late.
He only heard a "tap-tap-tap" sound, and then he was hit hard by something on his back! Then there was another burst of severe pain, which made him faint!
And then, oh, there was no more for him!
Because he is already dead! He was killed by a Ming Dynasty naval aviation pilot named Fengmingshan with an airborne machine gun.
Feng Mingshan, who had just killed someone, didn't know how to leave immediately and wanted to leave evidence, so he shouted loudly: "Take pictures, take pictures quickly...I'll take another shot, you take pictures quickly."
As he spoke, he pressed the firing button of the machine gun again. Two rounds of bullets swept over and opened two more bloody holes in Smith's buttocks. It also opened two big holes in the triangle hang glider!
The rotary engine was also hit and emitted thick black smoke.
Without Smith's control, the gliding bomb was destined to be impossible to fly over any Ming ship.
However, it still flew aimlessly for a certain distance, and then because it lost power, it fell into the vast sea...
After completing his first shootdown, Fengmingshan, who still felt unsatisfied, drove his beloved biplane and flew towards another British "bomb operator" with a grin!
In just one or twenty minutes, all 90 manned gliding bombs in the sky were shot down by more than 70 Ming biplanes!
The first real air battle in human history ended with an overwhelming victory against the Ming Dynasty biplane.
George Yilu, who was watching the air battle in the sky, saw that those ferocious and quiet small bi-wing planes did not come to cause trouble for him, but flew towards his own ships below. He often breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Quickly, quickly generate electricity for the battleship Victory. The attack of man-operated gliding bombs completely failed... because Ming Dynasty already has reusable bombs that can take off from surface ships. , an aircraft with a machine gun!”
