Chapter 619 Battle (VI)
"Ground Command, this is the Haidongqing Squadron, altitude 2,000, distance 25 kilometers."
The super-large wingspan allows Haidongqing to have a long-term hovering ability far beyond that of ordinary aircraft. The extended long wings can maintain the speed of the fighter and greatly reduce the fuel consumption of the fighter during the gliding phase...
Complete ultra-long-distance flight with low power and low energy consumption.
Gliding.
Otherwise, when Haidongqing's reserve of crystal ore fuel is exhausted, their movement speed will not be much faster than that of ordinary "Seagulls".
It's also a big iron shell.
"This is the Trade Center-Fortress Front Command. The attack permission has been approved. The infiltration force has pointed out the attack target through visual observation. Over."
"The Haidongqing Strategic Bombing Squadron received it. After this communication is over, it will enter the attack channel and enter the attack state. Over."
"The ground command received it. This communication is over. Over."
The green light representing the ground command went out, which meant that the two sides cut off the connection.
The major pressed the internal radio communication of the fleet to confirm the status of each aircraft.
"Fleet, prepare to cut into the attack route, squadron one will follow the bombing, squadrons two and three will be responsible for the left and right targets. Over."
He soon received the answers that the other crews had prepared.
"The power of the floating stone engine is reduced to 70%, the flaps are deployed, exit the gliding state, and the energy distribution is adjusted to the fuselage frame reinforcement mode."
The flowing energy is injected into the bones of the Haidongqing long wings under the deployment of the rune core, temporarily strengthening it to a state where it can withstand acceleration without being broken.
It takes a little time to offset the mechanical stress generated by deceleration and lowering the fuselage through the interconnected rune array, allowing the steel giant bird with its wings spread to a more ferocious posture.
Change from high-speed gliding state to attack posture.
"Received. The power of the floating stone engine is reduced to 70%, the flaps are deployed, and the energy distribution is adjusted to the fuselage frame reinforcement mode."
The co-pilot repeated the words of the major, dialed the instrument on the dashboard, and asked the bomber in the rear cabin to install the fuse into the body of the bomb.
Gravity will pull this monster downward and cut through the cloud flow.
Even with the assistance of unscientific technology, it must slowly descend and tilt. The unfolded flaps will increase the resistance and slow down the body to a low speed suitable for bombing.
The wingspan of the Haidongqing is 50 meters long. The resistance it encounters when descending is not comparable to those attack aircraft with a wingspan of 10 or 20 meters.
Even modern attack aircraft and bombers will always pay attention to their engine output when performing large-angle maneuvers... and control the acceleration within the limit.
Otherwise, the aircraft will be like a broken soda cracker.
With a sound of "snap".
It was broken by itself in the air.
It was broken by mechanical stress.
The dive bomber that was not pulled up in time would fall straight to the ground.
However, the Haidongqing only has the ability of low-altitude bombing, and does not have the close-range bombing ability of dive bombers. Ji Lin did not intend to let this big guy take on the work of dive bombing.
But the accuracy and damage effect of high-altitude strategic bombing are really...poor.
Even with the installation of a special ground-aiming observation mirror, the accuracy of the Haidongqing when dropping bombs at a cruising altitude of more than two thousand meters can only be described as average.
If the unguided inertial bombing encounters a slightly faster wind speed, the bombing effect will be even worse.
Insufficiently dense bombing will only waste mass and firepower.
Therefore, they need to have the ability to drop units at a lower altitude. The twenty-ton cabin is enough for them to become a veritable bomb truck... and can also drop other "cargo" at a low speed.
"Safety inspection is completed, and the bomb bay can be opened at any time."
In order to achieve a wide range of destructive effects, the belly bomb bays of the eleven Haidongqings are all carrying FAB-100 aerial high-explosive bombs. This small aerial bomb filled with mixed high-explosive incendiary explosives can be effectively sprayed in large quantities on a larger plane to destroy unprotected and low-protected targets.
High explosion, combustion, large area coverage.
The efficiency of handling unprotected front-line material distribution centers is the highest.
The troops of the Church piled these things on the ground, and they had no time to send them to the trenches on the front line. The infiltrating Night Crows used large flares to mark the target for the Saker Falcons.
If they were facing enemies of the same level, they would naturally not be so calm. Two thousand meters is already the height that heavy anti-aircraft guns can touch.
But the Church only has priests and holy soldiers with air combat capabilities.
The light traces connecting the sky and the ground can be seen ten kilometers away, and the shining flares highlight the targets they need to destroy.
That is a by-product of the flares developed by the Engineering Academy, which can leave significant light traces to illuminate the earth and indicate the direction.
The disadvantage is that this thing can only maintain light for thirty minutes at a time, and the cost is not low.
In the end, the lord did not use this solution as a flare for the front-line troops, but used a more effective...manpower flare solution.
Trained mage troops can also launch flares and consume energy to maintain the existence of flares at a certain distance, without having to fire one every once in a while.
The key is that it is cheap and sufficient.
The allied lords may not have ammunition production facilities or weapons production facilities, but they can always find a few war mages.
If everyone gathers together, the number of war mages on the front line may be more than that of heavy machine guns, and it is not a big problem to maintain the light of the entire front line.
The fleet cut through the thin clouds floating at the bottom of the sky island, and three four-plane formations began to enter their attack routes, lowering the fuselage in the direction of the target.
A large amount of dust crystal ore mixed with liquid fuel was pumped into the engine, and the turbine engine spewed out a large amount of white mist and entered full-power operation.
The major looked at the altimeter that began to slowly turn and reduce the numbers, and felt that his heartbeat was accelerating. He could hear his heartbeat.
The Haidongqing bomber was trembling, trembling slightly because it entered the descent state, and trembling because the engines on both wings entered full-power operation.
The lead plane he was driving carried an aerial bomb that was completely different from other Haidongqings, and only his lead plane could complete this task.
"Sir, the maintenance personnel reported that the ground-shaking bomb inspection was completed."
The co-pilot pressed the channel with the bombardier and nodded to the major.
Two FAB-5000s, using customized heavy ground-penetrating ammunition.
The name of the ground-shaking bomb was given by the lord, but the major knew very well that these two ammunitions could indeed shake the ground in the hit area.
The three wingmen will use high-explosive bombs to clear a clean attack path for him, and then he will send the ground-shaking bombs into the enemy's underground headquarters.
They don't expect to completely destroy the entire headquarters, but the goal of the Saker Falcons is just to delay the time for the enemy to launch an attack until the fortress receives a new wave of supplies.
The bombing wing is not sure about the location of the enemy's buildings, but with the help of the infiltration troops...
Discover, then destroy.
The steel giant bird opened its belly, and bullets rained down, extending a destructive track.
