readx; There are a lot of fighters, and when they strafe the ground, they are actually not very powerful, but they just cause panic below, but the real damage is not much, and the bomber group connected from behind is the focus. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Since it was not found that the airfield had large-scale anti-aircraft firepower, and the fighters in front had caused a certain amount of disturbance to the airfield, Li Tunyang immediately ordered the pilot to continue to lower the high ground and carry out low-altitude bombing, and the follow-up bombers also lowered the altitude. As the leader of the bombers, Li Tunyang's bombers were the first to open the door of the bomb magazine, and then a series of bombing bombs fell, like a hen laying eggs in the sky, and these bombing bombs were all 50 kilogram bombs. In order to achieve better bombing results, this bombing operation did not carry a heavier 100-kilogram bomb, nor did it carry a 25-kilogram aerial bomb with a smaller weight because of its low power. Due to the difficulties in the development and production of 100-kilogram aerial bombs, although a small amount of them were produced by the Fuzhou Arsenal, the output was not high, and it was impossible for the Nationalist Army to use them on a large scale, and the weight of 100-kilogram aerial bombs was too large, so they could only be used on B3 bombers, and B3 bombers could only carry four, and if they were more, bringing five or six bombs would reach the limit of the bomb load of B3 bombers, which could pose a serious threat to the flight and seriously restrict the range. As for the 25-kilogram bomb, the power is too small to meet the requirements of the national army's bomber group, and even the D4B bomber is replaced with a 50-kilogram bomb, and the 25-kilogram bomb, the Air Force is trying to see if it can be mounted on the D5A, and it is reluctant to increase the ground bombing capability of some D5A fighters, but after trying, it is found that even two 20-kilogram bombs will cause a serious reduction in the flight ability of the D5A, so they gave up the equipment in desperation. For the time being, the 25-kilogram level of aerial bomb technology will be used as a reserve, and the mass production of aerial bombs will not continue after the stock of aerial bombs is exhausted.

A B3 bomber can carry ten 50-kilogram bombs, and a D4B bomber can carry five 50-kilogram bombs. The Nationalist Army's bomber group this time was as many as 40 planes, and this series of aerial bombs were dropped, even though some of the aerial bombs did not hit the target, but the number of aerial bombs that fell in the airfield was also extremely terrifying. Just ten minutes later, the Beiyang Army Air Base below was already shrouded in smoke and dust, and turned into ruins.

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Li's telegram had just been sent, but unfortunately no one in the Beiyang Air Base could receive his telegram.

Li Tunyang looked at the Beiyang Air Force Base below, which had become a ruin, and showed a smile, this time the operation was perfect so far, his side did not even encounter any anti-aircraft fire from Beiyang to successfully complete the mission, and the Beiyang Air Force planes, whether they were parked on the tarmac or hidden in the hangar, were destroyed in this bombing.

"After this time, the Beiyang Air Force is afraid that there is only an empty name left!" Li Tunyang guessed so in his heart, but what he didn't know was that after the bombing action of the Nationalist Army this time, it did not defeat the Beiyang Air Force, but instead made Yuan Shikai and Feng Guozhang pay more attention to the Air Force, and even transferred a lot of military funds that were originally intended to be used for the army, and turned them into the Air Force. And put forward the bomber procurement plan, the design index of the air combat aircraft has already shocked the air forces of European countries before, and this time the bomber design requirements put forward by the Beiyang Air Force have shocked the air forces of European countries, the requirements are double engines, and the speed must not be less than 140 kilometers, the range must reach more than 500 kilometers, and the bomb load must reach at least 500 kilograms. This design requirement was entirely aimed at the B3 bombers that the Nationalist Army is currently equipped with.

In fact, these design indicators are nothing for aircraft manufacturers in European countries, after all, what this bomber lacks is only a concept, there have been no such twin-engine large bombers before, that is, no one wants to build this kind of aircraft, and I don't know what is the use of creating such a large aircraft, if the demand is really put forward, according to the strength of various countries, it will not take long to be able to design and manufacture a qualified bomber. However, the air forces of various countries that are already very interested in airplanes still do not put the hope of ground bombing on airplanes, but on airships, not only Germany, but also France and Britain, all of which have invested great energy in the development of large airships, which are big guys with a load capacity of up to several tons, and are not at all comparable to the load capacity of today's small airplanes.

After all, the aircraft is more flexible than the airship, the speed is not slow, and if it is equipped with machine guns, it can pose a great threat to the enemy's airship and reconnaissance organization, so they have now begun the research and development of fighter jets one after another. However, the bomber is a bit of a chicken rib for the current countries, whether it is the range or the bomb load, the airship is far more than the current aircraft, so the bomber plan proposed by the Beiyang Air Force is a very chicken product in the eyes of the air forces of various countries. However, some people believe that airships are too advanced for a backward country like China, and China has no way to use airplanes as a means of ground bombing. Just like the mortars that the National Army is equipped with in large quantities, they are a helpless substitute in the case of technological backwardness.

So this time, the Beiyang Air Force bomber bidding technology did not make the air forces of various countries pay much attention, but the Beiyang Air Force is still stubbornly bidding, Yuan Shikai is iron-hearted, Chen Jingyun doesn't want to play with airplanes, and he is still very successful, so he has suffered a lot of losses, this enemy has it, he naturally has to have. Even he thought about equipping airships, but the airship was still very technical for the powers in 1913, at least much higher than airplanes, and the Beiyang Army did not have the capital to play a large number of airships, he thought, the Nationalist Army should not be able to play with airships, and could only use airplanes.

No matter what, Chen Jingyun built the air force and he also built the air force, Chen Jingyun played bombers and he also played bombers, anyway, both sides are half a catty and eight taels, no one is better than the other, although there is no first opportunity to follow Chen Jingyun's ass, but there will be no mistakes, even if it is really wrong, it is also the fault of the national army, and the losses of the other party will be greater than that of the Beiyang Army.

Yuan Shikai is determined to fight with Chen Jingyun in the Air Force, Chen Jingyun naturally will not know what Yuan Shikai is thinking in his heart, at least before Yuan Shikai builds a powerful Beiyang Air Force, Chen Jingyun will not know that Yuan Shikai is determined to fight with him in the Air Force.

After the Air Force successfully bombed the air base of the Beiyang Army and blew up most of the Beiyang planes, Chen Jingyun also had a hint of joy in his heart: "You did a good job this time!" ”

Although the Beiyang Air Force in Jiangbei was suppressed before, it also occasionally came out to reconnoitre, and it was also able to detect the movement of many national troops, and now the air force has put the bases of the Beiyang Air Force in one pot, and it can be said that the battlefields in southern Jiangsu and southern Anhui have returned to the situation of air intelligence, and the national army has once again gained a one-way transparent intelligence advantage.

Wu Shizhong was praised by Chen Jingyun himself, and immediately said: "This is all the handsome's teaching, Shizhong doesn't dare to take credit!" ”

He said that he was also telling the truth, and the overall strategic construction of the Air Force, as well as the development of aircraft, equipment, and even the specific use of tactics, was kicked out by Chen Jingyun, and Wu Shizhong was just an executor. It can be said that among the three armies of the Navy and the Army of the Nationalist Army, Chen Jingyun's influence on the Air Force is the greatest and the most profound, the direction of the Army, Chen Jingyun is just a leading figure, and he has not put forward too many strategic ideas, at least Chen Jingyun does not know how to teach the generals below to fight, at best, he can only make some contributions to the introduction of light and heavy machine guns and mortars, but this is not his own idea, many generals of the National Army have this kind of proposition, so there is no guidance from him, The pace of development of the Army will not deviate from it. The navy is similar, although Chen Jingyun has the idea of a future aircraft carrier formation in his heart, and also put forward a proposal for a high-speed cruiser formation, but generally speaking, it has not caused major changes to the navy. Only the Air Force, the Air Force established by Chen Jingyun, has Chen Jingyun's deepest imprint, from the establishment of aviation schools, to the design and manufacture of aircraft, to the formulation of specific tactics, all of which are full of Chen Jingyun's figure, and Wu Shizhong, who is the chief of the Air Force, is just an executor.

As the chief of the Air Force, Wu Shizhong naturally knows very well how much influence Chen Jingyun himself has on the development of the Air Force.

"Now that the threat of air reconnaissance by the Beiyang Air Force has been eliminated, the Air Force needs to increase the scope of air reconnaissance in addition to maintaining suppression, so as to provide more information for the Army. In addition, the Air Force's ground bombing has become a scale, and the Air Force Department must also continue to increase its ground bombing, and the bombing of the enemy does not have to be attached to the fixed positions of the Beiyang Army in the Jiangbei area, and the anti-aircraft firepower in those areas is too strong, so there is no need to let a limited number of bombers take risks, but the Air Force can send a small number of bombers to bomb the enemy forces in motion, which can add up to a lot, and can also delay the enemy's maneuver! Chen Jingyun is still very satisfied with the results of the Nationalist Army, and also hopes that the Nationalist Army will play a greater role in the future. However, there is no need to go to the heavily defended areas of the Beiyang Army, such as the vicinity of Taishan Town, the anti-aircraft firepower of the Beiyang Army is still not weak, and the high-altitude bombing is due to the tragic hit rate, except for wasting ammunition, there is no other effect, and if the low-altitude bombing is carried out, under the intensive anti-aircraft fire, it is also a serious threat to its own bomber troops, and there is no need to take the bomber troops to take this risk until the critical moment.

In addition to discussing this, Chen Jingyun also talked to Wu Shizhong about the development of new aircraft, including the next generation of fighters and bombers, and the Ministry of the Air Force has allocated relevant research and development funds and signed a research and development contract with the Fuzhou Aircraft Factory, for which the Fuzhou Aircraft Factory has set up a research and development department for new aircraft.

However, in fact, the research and development of new aircraft at the Fuzhou Aircraft Factory has not stopped, but there is a lack of funds to carry out small-scale research and development improvements on existing aircraft, and now with the financial support of the Air Force, a special research and development department for new aircraft has been set up to develop the next generation of fighters and bombers for the Air Force.

After sending Wu Shizhong away, Chen Jingyun looked at the time, it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and today's official business was over, so he immediately left the office and went to the inner house.
