Finally, I saw a combined air and ground drill in Daming. The top of the tank on the ground had to bear a huge air and ground communication signal.

People in the sky don't know who's who on the ground, so it's not impossible to mistakenly drop a bomb on someone's head.

The armored troops formed a fan shape and slowly advanced forward.

The front row is filled with tanks. No matter whether it is barbed wire, minefields, or trenches, they cannot block the tracks of the tanks!

The tank ran over the small tree with thick arms without even using the accelerator.

One hundred and five tanks shelled it, and the reinforced concrete machine gun fortress was enveloped in smoke and dust.

The cannon shell hit the eggshell-like turret, and the shell was directly bounced away.

The powerful artillery shell only left a scratch on the tank armor.

The tank uses its machine guns and artillery to suppress the firepower on the opposite side. The infantry following behind will not suffer any harm at all.

When the tanks rushed to the enemy's position, the infantry also reached the enemy's position.

Any linear position that is stabbed by this kind of armored force will be rushed away like a soft-skinned egg.

With the Stuka opening the road ahead, the tanks will be like giant steel beasts, sweeping away anything blocking the road ahead.

Command headquarters, logistics supply base, hospital transportation hub, etc., etc.!

Li Xiao felt that using this tactic to deal with those European armies was a unilateral massacre.

However, to maintain such an attack, a lot of things are needed. At least a large amount of fuel and ammunition are needed!

The soldiers can eat hungry, but the tanks cannot fight without oil and ammunition.

The problem for Ming Dynasty now is how to send a mountain of supplies to the front line.

Airships are a good thing, but their huge body and too slow speed are also fatal shortcomings.

Anti-aircraft fire can easily shoot down an airship!

In the last sneak attack on the Urals, the Ming Dynasty lost ten airships.

This is of course the reason why the Ming airship underestimated the enemy and rushed in, but it also exposed the shortcomings of the airship.

Airships can only be used to transport supplies unless they are in a very safe place.

Where airships cannot reach, trucks must be used.

Unfortunately, the number of trucks in the Ming Dynasty is also seriously insufficient. Even the best-equipped Cavalry Division is only 60% of its full strength.

After watching the joint drill, Li Xiao, Ao Ye, and Shi Dewei left directly on the airship.

The core of the top brass of the Ming Dynasty's army have a basic understanding of future wars.

Tomorrow, Cao Wenzhao from the 3rd Division and Nie Dahu from the 4th Division will come to Zhurihe to continue to observe battlefield exercises that will affect the direction of future world wars.

The airship flew directly from Zhurihe to Zhangjiakou, where a special train had been waiting for a long time.

Li Xiao took two people on the special train!

"Let's hit the road now? Why not take an airship?" Master Ao knew that Li Xiao was going to Uralsk overnight.

"No way! Sandstorms happen frequently in spring, and they won't let me take the airship. I can only take the train!"

But that’s fine, it’s also good to see the scenery of the northwest along the way.

In the vastness of the northwest, there are many beautiful places not far from the railway line. Zhangye, Wuwei, Jiuquan, Dunhuang...!

Every time I pass through the Western Regions, I want to get out of the car and have a good look. Unfortunately, every time I just take a quick look."

"Haha! I don't like the northwest very much. This place is very dry. Taking a breath of air, I feel like my lungs are going to explode.

You said this place is so far away from the sea, why are there so many saline-alkali lands?

The last time I went to the Western Regions, I saw large tracts of land where no grass even grew. When the sun hit it, it looked like a steamer.

The scenery is erratic!

Sometimes, I can see other scenes in the sky. Once, I saw a warship and seagulls.

Another time, I actually saw a group of soldiers in armor fighting each other with swords."

"That's called a mirage, and it's a natural phenomenon. You can usually see it more in the sea or in the desert!"

Li Xiao still has a scientific understanding of mirages.

Master Ao didn't think so: "Then what do you think of a group of people wearing armor and holding swords to fight each other?

After all these years, none of us are still fighting with swords."

"My Lord Ao, there are actually battles, big and small, happening in this world every day.

It only took twenty years for the Ming Dynasty's army to adopt firearms.

Do you think that all the armies in the world fighting wars are as wealthy as the Ming Dynasty?"

This is a typical example of using oneself to save others. Not everyone in this world can have equipment like the Ming Dynasty.

"That's true.

However, I still doubt your purpose of going to Chechnya in person. You don't want to train with Chechens.

If you mobilize armored forces, the Chechens will not be enough for you.

I feel that no army in the world is enough for you."

"Chechnya is in the mountains, and armored units are more suitable for plain operations. Therefore, I will not mobilize armored units to participate in the war.

But the Air Force still has to participate in the war!

The first is to gain some battlefield experience, replace training with actual combat, and allow the Air Force to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Another point is that we need to evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Air Force.

Let's see to what extent we can count on the air force when fighting in the future.

You know, sometimes theoretical numbers don't match reality."

"The commander-in-chief is right. How powerful the air force can be needs to be evaluated.

The strength of the Hebrews is developing rapidly, and the latest intelligence shows that they already have the ability to manufacture howitzers.

Moreover, electricity is also developing rapidly in Israel.

The airship went to Sevastopol for reconnaissance at night and could already see the light of electric lights coming from many buildings.
