Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 1612 1613 A new airport

Ten days are enough for Tang Jun to build a temporary airport, especially when there is not enough cement and other building materials.

  Xiao Yun watched the airport in front of him being built from scratch. Although it still looked very crude, it could already deploy some aircraft and perform some tasks.

This airport is used by Thunder attack aircraft. Compared with the more expensive Intruder attack aircraft, Thunder attack aircraft have slightly lower requirements for the airport.

Although this airport currently has only 30 Thunderbolts deployed, it will be able to meet the take-off and landing requirements of hundreds of aircraft in the future. After all, the scale is here.

 The entire airport was completed by dwarf workers and human engineers. The quality of the project is quite high, and the enthusiasm of the dwarves for their work is also increasing.

 One aspect is because the Tang people did not mistreat them, gave them enough wages, and ensured the safety of their lives and property—compared to some people, the Tang State's experience in this regard can be said to be quite sufficient.

These dwarves have all served the Datang Group, and they know the temperament of the Datang Group to a certain extent. As long as you work down-to-earth here, you will always have a happy future that meets your expectations.

The Tang State’s predecessor was the Datang Group. There were precedents for multi-racial cooperation here, and no one had the habit of treating aliens as enemies.

 Datang, the main theme is integration, exchange and common development! These things are almost incomprehensible to other countries, but they are taken for granted by the people of Tang Dynasty.

 Because they have blond and blue-eyed humans from Bunas, as well as countless black-haired and black-eyed humans on the Western Continent. They have high-ranking officials from dwarves and nobles from elves... In short, in the Tang Empire, your achievements have nothing to do with your race.

Even the ugly orcs have their own place in this empire. Although most of them still bear the status of slaves, no one is truly oppressed and persecuted because of this.

The atmosphere of the Tang Empire seems to be inclusive of all kinds of things in any world. It is there gracefully and luxuriously, looking down on all living beings, proud and powerful.

 Another aspect that made the dwarves do their best was because they witnessed the madness of their compatriots: the Tang army took a large number of images on the battlefield and gave them to the dwarves in the occupied areas.

　　When these civilians saw that their compatriots were used as cannon fodder, as expendable items, and as livestock, they completely lost confidence in the Ice Empire.

　　No normal person would remain calm after seeing a compatriot who looks like a "zombie". The side effects of black crow were made very clear by the Tang people, and it was also true that this drug was expressly banned in the Tang Empire.

Although there are still many dwarves who are unwilling to believe these things, there are also many dwarves who feel that they should do something to avoid greater tragedies.

Since the Ice Empire is doomed to destruction, the continuation of the dwarf race should at least be guaranteed, right?

While Xiao Yun was looking at the construction team in the distance in a daze, a Type 130 transport plane slowly landed on the airport runway. It's a bit too big for this airport.

That was the Tang Army's plane that took off from the Beidao base and flew directly across the ocean to transport ammunition. With the arrival of the plane, there may be some ground crew members arriving. Maintaining a large-scale air force on the front line is not easy, and this is true for an advanced air force. In order to meet demand, before an airport deploys dozens of aircraft, it often requires hundreds of transport aircraft to transport enough personnel and materials to maintain the operation of the entire airport.

Logistics is still one of the most important links in modern warfare. In order to meet the combat needs of the front line, the Tang Army is frantically sending things produced by its terrifying production capacity to the front line.

 The door at the tail of the aircraft slowly opened, and the loading and unloading personnel waiting on both sides of the runway rushed towards the aircraft whose propeller had just stopped turning.

 The pallets that have been fixed one after another are staggered with aviation rocket packaging boxes. Because there are so many low-value targets on the front line, the ammunition that the Tang Army consumes the most is small-caliber rockets.

There is no way. It is really a loss to use precision-guided weapons to hit armored targets that are not as good as the 59 main battle tank. Moreover, the number of enemies is huge, and it is really unaffordable to use precision weapons entirely.

Therefore, when the Tang Army performs frontline ground attack missions, it prefers to carry rockets and use a salvo to deal with the densely packed targets on the ground.

  This is a very efficient tactic, so the most urgently needed supplies for the Tang Air Force are these rockets with a caliber of about 90 mm to 130 mm.

 Compared with large-caliber rocket launchers, the Air Force's rockets have a shorter range due to their high-down firing method, so they are more powerful for the same caliber. In fact, earlier aerial bombs were more powerful than artillery shells at the same weight. After all, the mechanisms of the weapons were different, so the battlefield performance was completely different.

With the support of Marshal Tiger, the supreme commander of the front line, the construction speed of this airport was very fast, even so fast that the dwarf workers who participated in the construction were stunned.

They never thought they could build an airport so quickly. It was not until they saw a Thunder attack aircraft landing on the runway they built that they dared to believe everything the Tang engineers told them.

"Now we have at least one more airport and can take off more aircraft." The air force commander who commanded the Thunder attack aircraft unit stationed at this airport said to Xiao Yun: "Today we took off more than 70 sorties and attacked the enemy. 400 ground targets of the army.”

 Because of their participation in the war, the losses of the dwarves increased visibly. The constant losses of a large number of heavy weapons and equipment really made the dwarves' attacks seem more like sending death over and over again.

"After the construction of the second runway is completed, the engineering troops will withdraw. You will not expand until the port construction is completely completed..." Xiao Yun poured a basin of cold water on his men: "Don't use too much force, keep it Rhythm, you are here mainly for ground support operations, and the ammunition consumption will be relatively large, so be careful."

 “Yes! General!” The men stood at attention and saluted, their expressions became serious.

In the distance, dwarves and humans worked together to remove the rockets from the plane. The warehouse nearby was not reinforced, and the ammunition depot where the arms were stored was just an ordinary house. Fast construction does not come without a price. Most areas here are still in the state of "temporary construction sites."

However, it is still in a usable state, which is enough for the Tang Air Force, which lacks an airport.
