Chapter 172(2/2)
This thing is no better than weapons and ammunition, just keep experimenting.
Another thing is that we have too few talents in this field.
so……!"
"So what you're saying is that there's no way to connect planes to each other in the short term?"
"There is definitely no way around this. The source of power is a big problem.
If the aircraft engine is used to generate electricity, it will affect the power of the aircraft.
But we thought that maybe we could seek a breakthrough in another direction."
"What direction?" Li Xiao was very interested.
Xu Ermo always has fantastic ideas in his mind. He wanted to know what good ideas he had this time.
"Since the size and weight of the radio cannot be reduced, we can increase the load capacity of the aircraft.
The latest bomber can carry sixteen tons of ammunition.
We strive to reduce some unnecessary accessories and reduce the weight of the entire radio unit to less than fifteen tons.
In this way, our planes can carry radio stations in the sky.
Moreover, the latest bombers carry a lot of fuel and have a long range.
The air control time is very long and can be used exclusively for ground reconnaissance.
As long as you find enemy artillery positions on the ground, or assembly points, logistics supply points, etc.
The rear artillery can be called for bombing immediately, and the artillery's ballistic parameters can even be corrected based on the bombing point.
What do you think of this idea?"
After Xu Ermo finished speaking, he looked at Li Xiao's face searchingly.
He had this idea for a long time, and this time Li Xiao happened to ask. Xu Ermo wanted to know what Li Xiao meant.
After all, a bomber is expensive to build, and it is somewhat of a waste of resources to install a radio station and turn it into a full-time reconnaissance aircraft.
It is indeed a good idea, and only a ghost like Xu Ermo could come up with it.
If we can't reduce the size and weight of the radio, we might as well make a larger aircraft.
"Well! That's a good idea, but it's a little late today.
I'll go to your place tomorrow to see the bombers. If your plan is feasible, it will save our army a lot of trouble.
You don't know, but now a reconnaissance plane has been sent out, and they can only take some photos and come back.
The artillerymen carried out bombardment based on photos or the pilot's dictation, but the accuracy was very poor.
There were also some targets that moved away when they saw the plane coming.
This means that even if we blow up, it will be in vain, and the ammunition will be wasted.
Helping artillerymen correct the point of impact is even more unthinkable.
If bombers can handle this task, that would be great.
In particular, it is particularly important and critical to observe the effects of shelling on site and help correct the ballistic trajectory."
Li Xiao was very interested in Xu Ermo's suggestion. After all, Ming Dynasty now occupies air superiority.
Even if there are large bombers circling in the sky, the coalition forces on the ground dare not do anything.
If an artillery position dares to fire, ground firepower can be summoned immediately to cover the area with anti-aircraft guns.
Now Stuka is wreaking havoc on the heads of the coalition forces all day long, and the coalition forces dare not do anything.
Anti-aircraft guns were not allowed to fire without orders.
What they were afraid of was that all the anti-aircraft guns would be wiped out by the Stukas, and the Ming army would send out heavy airships.
That thing has a long range and can land at any time.
It also has a large load capacity and is a great weapon for hanging bombs and carrying a 25mm rapid-fire cannon.
If one or two airships really flew to the position, the ground troops would soon collapse.
There is no way, they can hit you, but you can't knock them down, this feeling is so damn frustrating.
As for the even more powerful 88mm anti-aircraft gun, the coalition forces can hide it whenever they can. This thing is a powerful weapon against tanks.
Therefore, the coalition forces currently do not have a weapon that can effectively deal with aircraft.
Many times, the coalition forces felt very aggrieved.
Because the Stukas can drop bombs on their heads without restraint, they have no choice but to crawl into the holes like mice.
Fortunately, the Stuka had a short range and a small amount of ammunition, so the coalition forces were able to survive.
Li Xiao visited the research institute for more than four hours and saw many strange things.
I have to admire these people's great imagination in researching things.
There is a kind of minesweeper that uses a tank chassis.
Behind the rocket, there is a pipe filled with explosives.
After the rocket was ejected, the tube was also sent out.
As long as this thing explodes, it can clear a large area of mines.
It only takes a short time to clear out a large minefield and open up a path for the advancing troops.
Not only is it fast, but it also saves costs.
In the past, the Ming army had to use howitzer shells to do this.
First, the howitzer shells will not be so closely distributed.
Secondly, a howitzer shell costs fifty silver dollars.
How much does a rocket cost?
There is another thing that is even more fierce. Instead of a cannon, the tank is equipped with a fire-breathing thing.
This thing is actually a flamethrower installed on the tank.
Although the combat distance is only fifty meters downwind, it is a powerful weapon against trench warfare.
Those who are hiding in the bunker or the bunker and are stubbornly resisting, as long as this thing drives over and sprays them, they will all stop.
When people passed by, except for the disgusting smell of barbecue, they could no longer effectively kill the Ming army.
There is another thing, after this thing is shot out and lands, a warhead will be blown directly into the sky.
This warhead exploded in the air about three meters above the ground, and more than 500 steel nails shot out with the explosion.
The coverage area can reach more than fifty square meters.
In other words, as long as there is one of these things, there will be no living person on the surface of more than fifty square meters.
The effect of this thing is quite average when used in field conditions, but if it is used in urban street fighting.
No matter how many people are hiding in your house, as long as one of these things gets in...!
The coalition forces cannot defeat them on the ground and often have the habit of digging holes in the ground.
It is very useful whether it is to avoid artillery or Ming army bombing.
Even the German army specializes in bunker tactics and advances of one or two kilometers.
The Ming and Russian armies, which were left short of strength, had no choice but to do anything.
Well now, there is an incendiary bomb.
Just throw it into a bunker and it will burn out the air inside in an instant.
No matter how awesome you are, you can hold your breath for two minutes, but you can't live without breathing for the rest of your life.
As long as you breathe, the hot air will burn your respiratory tract.
