Chapter 994 The Sudden Change in Air Combat Mode
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, ours is a new airship, capable of air combat."
"Damn it, what kind of air combat capability can such a big airship have? Retreat, our strength cannot tolerate losses." Les roared, but there was no answer from the other side.
"Damn bastard, Lord Chinan doesn't know how to choose his men well, so he just looks for people like this who don't care about the overall situation. The air force is prepared to take off as soon as the beetle enters the position. Try to save more airships." At the command headquarters. In their eyes, every airship is a valuable asset for them to fight against the beetles. How can they waste it casually?
Even if those people don't obey the command, they still have to protect the airship and its pilots. Afterwards, he must make those guys who disobey orders regret. He believed that Chi Nan would enforce the law impartially.
It's a pity that they saw the beginning but didn't think of the end. When the flying beetle took off, Les almost despaired. Because there are too many flying beetles.
Even if the air force that he arranged there fought against these flying beetles once, he would be disabled after winning. "Damn beetles, how come there are so many of them? Were they hiding something before?"
Rice and other command members looked at the sky in the distance blankly. From their position, they could only see a few unclear traces, but even so, they could roughly estimate how many enemies there were in the dark cloud-like flying beetle team. This kind of scale can no longer be won casually.
It seems that there is no way for me to save those airships. What needs to be considered now is how to preserve as many flying units as possible. After all, these flying units take time to train.
As for those airships, it seems that they can be built after a while of planting. In terms of speed, it seems to be quite fast. They didn't understand it at first, but after so many airships suddenly appeared, they had some ideas.
"Quick, look, those airships are so powerful." Suddenly, a commander shouted loudly. Les was a little irritated, what could an airship do? But when he turned around and looked at the airship formation, everyone's eyes widened.
Just now, the airship had approached the overwhelming beetles. Because there is no one on the airship, the airship has no fear at all, and it will not matter even if the airship is sent to death. In any case, the airship can ensure the calmest and most rational mood and maximize its combat capabilities.
Like a cold machine, when it reached the shooting range, the airship began to attack.
"Haha, the cannon is attacking, ready to fire. It's been a long time since I've used this familiar cannon, and I can finally use it again."
Machine guns, like high-altitude bombing, were the original fighting methods of airships. In this way, when the airship was just born, it could compete with the Griffin Knights, the ace of the air at that time, and still win.
But later, as more and more weapons became available, machine guns were eliminated. Unexpectedly, in this new world, it can be used again. Sometimes, the more powerful a weapon is, the easier it is to use, only if it is suitable.
Just like now, only by improving step by step can people not feel abrupt. Chi Nan's development in the alien plane has not aroused the suspicion of the indigenous people until now, relying on this step-by-step improvement.
The cannons fired, and continuous explosions suddenly came from the wings on both sides of the airship. Every explosion was accompanied by a fist-sized bullet. The bullet is made of wood, with a little green light. Rotating at high speed in the air, the target was the beetle troops in the distance.
Large pea cannon-like shells are not as strong as the original pea cannon. As long as it is hit, even the shell of the beetle will be cracked. The fragile wings were torn to pieces on the spot.
Countless cannon shells were fired, and the flying beetles in the air began to fall down like dumplings. At such a high place, even if a beetle falls, it is basically difficult to survive.
Besides, if you don't fall to death, you will be poisoned. The reason why these cannons are green is because they have been soaked in beetle toxins in the pill warehouse. When the cannon causes injury to the beetle, the toxin will penetrate along the wound. Dropped from high altitude and specially targeted toxins, the lethality is foolproof.
Seeing a large number of beetles falling continuously, not only the headquarters, but also the airship legions that were preparing to take off were stunned at this time. This kind of efficient lethality is really terrifying.
"Those things seem to be an application of pneumatic cannons. Although the shells used are a little less effective, with the addition of toxins, they are the most effective against flying beetles at high altitudes."
Les nodded slightly: "Yes, you can actually come up with this kind of attack method. If this reaches a large scale, flying beetles may not pose any threat to us in the future. Who came up with this? It's really amazing. ”
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, isn't this good? With the new airship, we can definitely suppress bugs easily in the future. There are only two types of bugs that are most troublesome, one is flying and the other is underground. As long as we can By solving those underground problems, we can continue to advance and truly regain the lost ground.”
Rice finally came back to his senses and looked at the sky with a sigh: "Yes, you are right. I am a little worried now. I am worried that with the airship, our airship army will lose its function in the future."
This worry is not false. Since the airship, the griffin army of the Holy Tree Territory can only be reduced to a tool for showing off and sending letters. Perhaps in the future, there will be competitions such as griffin knights.
If there were no flying boats in the plane at that time, Chi Nan would have been able to dominate the entire plane with the airship. In this world, there are no alchemical weapons such as flying boats, only powerful flying teams.
"Then, do our flying troops still need to take off? It seems that they don't need our protection."
"No, it still needs to be. Although this attack is good, there are too many bugs. Once the bugs get close to a certain distance, this weapon will not work, so it still needs to work together to protect the airship."
Rice's vision is very accurate. However, this is based on the premise that the airship has no other way to fight. Once there are other ways to fight, can Rice's idea still be realized?
