Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

After the defeat of the battle on September 9, Mao Bangchu went to the three missile battalions respectively and organized a battle summary meeting with the battalion commander, the company commander, and the commander of the No. 25 vehicle.After the meeting, Mao Bangchu learned that not only did the three battalions have insufficient understanding of the close combat method, but some officers and soldiers still had serious pessimism and disappointment. , There is no way to deal with high-performance fighters like Lightning.” He was very angry about this and said: “Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, the empire has spent so much effort on our flame team, we usually talk about war every day. How thoroughly you have studied the methods of combat, especially the methods of melee warfare, how come you throw all these methods of warfare behind your heads when you encounter difficulties in combat!" After a lot of encouragement, they were also asked to show the courage of imperial soldiers, learn from the second battalion, and study the close combat method assiduously.

Now, when Mao Bangchu saw that everyone was silent, he said to Yao Xijiu: "Your second battalion, let's talk about it first."

"From March 3 this year to the present, we have devoted ourselves to studying the method of dealing with lightning fighters. Facts have proved that if we do not change our tactics and adopt close-to-fast combat methods, we will not be able to defeat lightning at all. Therefore, it is not that we have to use The close combat method is what the enemy forced us to use. I agree with the decision announced by the commander just now. If it is our turn to fight this battle, we will definitely adopt the close combat method. Fighting is a risky thing, Lightning fleet If you don’t launch missiles, there can only be one result, and if you launch missiles, there will be two results. This is the first time for all of us to defend against the enemy with the close-up combat method. It is possible that the antenna cannot be found and the target will be blocked, and the fighter may even be attacked. Even so, we should still give it a try, and learn lessons after losing the battle. If we don’t fight, we will gain nothing, and we can only repeat the mistakes of the battle on September 28!”

"Yao Xijiu said it very well. Let's talk about it. We are all old brothers, and we fought many battles before joining the Flame Army. In the past, when our officers and soldiers heard about the war, they all screamed and rushed forward. Up to now, although we have used modern weapons, we are still inseparable from this spirit of courageous leadership." Mao Bangchu said.

"..."

This time, the captain who led the blitzkrieg was Hugh Dowding, Lieutenant Colonel Commander of the Royal Air Force. He was born in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, and was admitted to the Walwich Military Academy in 1899. After graduating from the Sandhurst Royal Army Academy in 1900, he first served in the Artillery Corps and then joined the Army Flying Corps. In 1911, he was admitted to the Cambury Military Academy, where he majored in two-year artillery courses.He received flight training during his studies and obtained a certificate from the Royal Air Force Club, and then participated in the Second World War, serving as a squadron leader, flight observer, staff officer of the Royal Air Force Command, and squadron leader of the 9th Flying Squadron, and later entered Brooks Aeronautical Radio School.Dowding is the rising star of the British Royal Air Force, and even the only lieutenant colonel officer in the Air Force Ministry received by Edward VII, and the only lieutenant colonel officer who has won the "Great Britain Medal".This time, he was appointed by the Royal Air Force to lead a Lightning Squadron to carry out an air strike on Jalna's Dragon Artillery position. Giving such an important task to Dowding also fully demonstrated the importance that the Royal Air Force Ministry attached to him.

他是于10月30上午进入24小时准备程序的。在飞行员准备室里休息了一个白天后，于11月1日凌晨3时45分起床，4时15分进入指挥部接受任务。

When assigning tasks to Dowding, the British experts at the air force base reminded him that a mysterious Chinese missile force has arrived in a certain city around Mumbai. During the flight, you should always pay attention to the "No.12 system" on the upper right of the instrument panel. Those two red and green signal lights, as long as the signal light is not on, you can fly forward boldly. If the green light is on, it means that there is a missile radar in front of you to capture the target. You must maneuver and escape immediately. If the red light is on, a bright spot appears on the display. , There is a "beep beep" sound from the speaker, which means that the enemy has launched a missile, and it is necessary to make a steep turn and escape immediately. "

missile?Dowding was amazed at this.In the various training courses of the Royal Air Force, the instructors have mentioned missiles more than once, but no one has experienced what missiles are and how they attack targets.Who cares, with the excellent performance of the lightning fighter, even anti-aircraft guns can't do anything to it, will the missile be so powerful?

At 6:30, Dowding inhaled oxygen, put on a sealed flight suit, and left the personal gear room. At 6:45, entered the cockpit of the aircraft, started the aircraft, and slid onto the runway...

When the Lightning fleet led by Dowding passed through Nashik, they were particularly panicked, lest they encounter the missile troops of the Dragon Army.However, fortunately, the whole flight process went very smoothly.When he arrived in Aurangabad, he found that the plane was off course, and immediately used the sextant to correct the course.According to the original route, the Lightning Squadron should take the vertical line northeast of Mumbai this time. However, he only corrected the course halfway, because he mistook Accra as the target of this mission, Jalna.As a result, the entire squadron had to fly hundreds of kilometers more.Dowding had to admit that he was indeed a little nervous.

Seeing that the squadron was about to reach the sky above Jalna, Dowding slowly let go of his hanging heart. He said that maybe the Ministry of Air Force's intelligence was wrong, and the green light on the dashboard did not respond at all. Where did the missile force come from? It must be the whimsical judgment of those fools in the Air Ministry.

At noon, when Dowding was secretly glad that he had overcome many difficulties and was able to reunite with his family safely, the red and green signal lights of "No.12 system" in the upper right corner of the dashboard turned on at the same time, and bright spots appeared on the display. , The speaker also issued a "beep beep beep" alarm sound.He was startled suddenly, and immediately turned the turning device of the autopilot trembling all over, and turned to escape with a 30-degree bank.However, as soon as he turned 90 degrees, there was a strong orange flash outside the cabin, and then there was a loud noise outside; suddenly, a hurricane suddenly threw the plane upwards, and the left wing of the Lightning fighter immediately One-third of it was broken off. Just as Dowding was clutching the steering wheel and stepping on the rudder, trying his best to stabilize the plane, something exploded under the plane again. The heavily damaged Lightning plane began to spiral down. The injured Dowding was thrown out of the cabin by the powerful inertial pressure like an empty sack...

The moment he fell into the air, he clearly saw that the fleet he was leading was being hit by torpedo-like missiles. It looked like dazzling holiday fireworks blooming in the air!

The day of November 11st was the day when the battle atmosphere was the most tense, the battle preparations were the busiest, and the battle situation was the most thrilling since the establishment of the Second Battalion.The battalion commander Yao Xijiu just went to the headquarters for a meeting when the enemy situation report arrived.The Chief of Staff of the Palace heard that the Lightning Squad was dispatched again, and immediately ordered the whole battalion to enter the first level of combat preparation.Two minutes after the battle alarm sounded, the combatants in the battalion command post took their positions and got ready for battle.

At 7:15, the Chief of Palace Staff ordered the plotters to start plotting.Afterwards, the deputy battalion commander and two staff officers gathered around the distant combat board, observing the movements of the Lightning Squadron and discussing its flight intention.

"On September 9, the Lightning Squad scouted Bangalore. Although it was not destroyed, the pilots were also very frightened...Later, according to the route comparison, some of the When conducting reconnaissance on important targets, the Lightning Squad is relatively far away. Therefore, this lightning dispatch is likely to be a supplementary reconnaissance of our army's fortifications around Mumbai. If the situation permits, it may attack our army's positions at any time Carry out the bombing." The palace staff officer said, puffing out his two chubby red cheeks.

"That makes sense," Deputy Battalion Commander Wang followed behind and nodded.

"It's certainly a good thing for us to be dispatched by Lightning again... However, the four battalion commanders have all gone to the headquarters for a combat meeting, and our battalion's combat preparations are not sufficient... Next, I don't know what happened to the headquarters. How about an order?" The chief of staff asked with concern.

Wind and Thunder Surge Three Thousand Miles Chapter 7 Everything is Ready

"It's indeed a bit hasty now. The monthly regular calibration of the long sword has not been done, and the radar calibration flight has not been carried out..." Deputy Battalion Commander Wang added afterward.

"I reckon that today's battle will definitely be fought. Since the Lightning Squad is here, Commander Mao can't let it go easily. The battalion commander is not here, and the radar school flight must be too late. We still plan to use it on the No. 1 car." Use the direction indicator to check the synchronization between the launcher and the guidance radar." Staff Officer Gong said with a straight face and frowning.

"Not only to check the synchronization, but also to check the consistency of the target designation radar and the guidance radar, and it will be done soon!" Deputy Battalion Commander Wang said firmly.

At 7:30, Dowding ordered the Blitz to climb to 18000 meters, and the course was aligned with Jalna. At this time, the distance between the two sides was 480 kilometers.

At 7:44, the Second Battalion was inspecting weapons, and suddenly received an order from the headquarters to "immediately camouflage the weapons".Therefore, the troops immediately stopped the weapon inspection, began to cover the long sword with a camouflage net, and sent personnel to the mountain to cut trees to camouflage the road.

At 8 o'clock, the second battalion received an order from the headquarters to "fight back and flee".The troops immediately gave up their camouflage and began to prepare their long swords.At this time, the gunpowder column of forty missiles was also airlifted from the base in southern Tibet.The chief of staff immediately ordered the second company to drive the transport and loading vehicles to the third company's position in accordance with the order of launchers 1, 3, 5, and 2.The officers and soldiers of the third company, who hadn't rested all night, tensed up even more at this time, and devoted themselves seriously to battle preparations.Three consecutive and four rows of large cranes hoisted the missiles from the transport and loading vehicles to a row of process assembly vehicles, and the first row replaced the powder column, and then re-lifted the missiles to the transport and loading vehicles.Afterwards, three platoons re-tested the missiles...

At 10:10 in the morning, forty rounds of the prepared Chinese long sword were transported into the firing position of the second company.The Chief of Staff immediately ordered the second company to load the launcher.When the third company replaced the gunpowder column for forty missiles, the first, second, and fourth companies were not idle.Under the coordination of the battalion command post, the two target designation radars and guidance radars of the fourth company jointly conducted a consistency check. The battalion command post used the direction indicator to select a tree far away as a calibration object, and let the three radars work together. Carry out calibration. This inspection should have been done with an airplane, but because time did not allow it, we had to stop doing it.Next, Staff Officer Gong climbed to the platform on the roof of No. 1 car and used the direction indicator to check the synchronization of the guidance radar and the second company's four launchers.When the forty missiles were ready, the first company checked them for the response signal, and all the long swords were fine.

After the consistency check of the three radars and the synchronous inspection of the four launchers and the guidance radar, Staff Officer Gong immediately reported to Deputy Battalion Commander Wang.Hearing that there is no problem with the consistency of the radar and the synchronization of the launcher, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang said with a sigh of relief: "Everything is ready, the only thing I owe is Dongfeng."

At 10:25, Jalna's battle meeting was not over yet.At the beginning of the meeting, no one spoke, and once they opened their mouths, they couldn't stop it. However, just like the Southern Tibet War Conference, the situation of the three battalion commanders emphasizing difficulties and fear of taking responsibility has not fundamentally changed.

At 10:40 pm, the scouts reported that the Blitz was about to enter the sky over Jalna.Mao Bang saw that the time was already very tense, so he immediately stood up with a serious expression, his blade-like eyes swept over everyone's faces, waved his arms, and said firmly: "The enemy planes are about to enter the sky above Jalna. You have to fight whether you want to fight or not! This cannot be changed. How can you only win a war and not lose a war? If you lose, find the reason, and if you win, you can sum up your experience. However, 36 kilometers and 38 kilometers open the antenna, 8 The rule of launching missiles in seconds cannot be changed. This is an order! As long as you are within the effective range of the long sword, you can all fight boldly. I will be responsible for any mistakes. If you miss the fighter plane, you will be responsible. This time In war, we have to accept the lesson from the last time. The four battalions have to be divided into one task; there are main ones, and there are also feints. The concept of a game of chess, no matter which battalion takes down the enemy aircraft group, everyone deserves credit!"

Next, Mao Bangchu immediately ordered the battalion commanders of the second and third battalions to return to the battalion to direct the battle. The commanders of the first and fourth battalions had no time to go back because they were too far away, so he instructed them to stay at the headquarters and use the phone Command troops to fight.

The jeep of the Second Battalion is an old car, and it can't go fast even if it wants to.Pilot Zhao En has been with Battalion Commander Yao since the formation of the unit, and he was even more anxious when he saw that the battalion commander was anxious.On the way back to the Second Battalion, we had to pass a railway crossing.Just as Zhao En was driving his car through the railway crossing, a farmer came head-on. Seeing that the car was about to hit the farmer, Zhao En slammed on the brakes, and the farmer leaned back and fell into the ditch.Yao Xijiu got out of the car quickly and pulled the farmer out of the ditch.Fortunately, the farmer was not injured, so he hurried on to the car and continued on his way.

Along the way, Yao Xijiu's mind was in a mess. While thinking about how to fight this battle, he also wondered what problems the army had.At this time, he then thought of the Sangma radar station that had just been transferred from the southern Tibet base. Because he didn't know the personnel and technical situation, he was very worried.He decided that after returning to the camp, he couldn't just rely on Sangmareda blindly. If it lost its target at a critical moment, it would be fatal!

At 11:05, the enemy aircraft group was 200 kilometers away.The second battalion's target indication radar captured the target after it was turned on.The headquarters kept asking Yao Xijiu if he was back. Just as the chief of staff put down the phone, Zhao En rushed into the camp in a jeep. Seeing Battalion Commander Yao get off the car, the chief of staff hurriedly reported to the headquarters.After Yao Xijiu entered the command post, he simply conveyed the order of the command headquarters' combat meeting to the personnel in the battalion command post, and then seriously said to the palace staff officer: "Gong staff officer, the Sangma radar has just been transferred, and I still have to use it for the first time." Don’t worry, you must be prepared to prevent it from losing its target at a critical time.”

"understand!"

Yao Xijiu hurriedly left the command post, boarded the No. 3 car, and mobilized the troops for emergency combat through the microphone.Then, he earnestly conveyed the orders at the combat meeting to the guide technicians, the three *commanders, and the commander of the second company. Very happy, the guide technician immediately said: "Battlefield Commander, don't worry, after receiving the news that the enemy aircraft group came out for activities this morning, we "two stations and one institute" practiced together for an hour seriously. Order, we must strike down the lightning quickly and neatly!"

"This time we can't hit the lightning again, our Lieyan troops really don't have the face to meet Jiangdong's elders." The second company commander said angrily.

In the Jalna headquarters, after the combat meeting was over, Mao Bangchu and his staff immediately carried out research and analysis. Mao Bangchu judged from the route map of the Lightning fleet that the possibility of enemy planes breaking into the cluster fire network today is very high. If according to Lightning Judging from the route map of the last invasion, this time the enemy aircraft group passed through Nashik without passing through Accra. Because the first battalion was deployed in Accra at the time, he thought in his heart that the first battalion was the demonstration battalion of the Flame Troops. All No.1, this time into the actual combat, they should also be allowed to open first.But after another thought, I hoped to go to Nashik again. Let the second battalion fight this battle, so I have greater confidence. I can't mess up this battle just because I take care of the first battalion!

Seeing that the enemy aircraft group was still 300 kilometers away from Nashik, Mao Bangchu immediately ordered the combat staff around him: "Ask Yao Xijiu if he has returned to the Second Battalion."

After a while, the combat staff replied: "Report to the commander, Yao Xijiu has not arrived in the camp yet."

"Ask again in 2 minutes."

"Yes!"

After a while, the combat staff officer reported again: "Yao Xijiu still hasn't returned to the camp."

At this time, Mao moved out and became anxious. At 10:15, Lightning was 250 kilometers away from Nashik, and there was still no news of Yao Xijiu's arrival from the Second Battalion.At this moment, Mao Bangchu couldn't sit still anymore. He felt hot and upset all over. He jumped up from the chair and walked to the window. While blowing the air, he took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.At this time, the combat staff officer suddenly stepped forward and reported: "Report to the commander, Yao Xijiu has returned to the second battalion."

"understood."

Mao Bangchu suddenly turned from worry to joy, and immediately returned to the plotting table.At this time, judging from the route map, the enemy aircraft group is very likely to pass through Langenkad, and the Fourth Battalion is being deployed in that area. "This battle will be fought by the Fourth Battalion, they may not be sure; what's more, their battalion commander is still staying at the headquarters..."

Thinking of this, he suddenly became worried again. After hesitating for a moment, he was about to call the battalion commander Wei of the Fourth Battalion to call the battalion command post to inquire about the combat readiness of the troops, when he suddenly saw signs of turning around in the enemy aircraft group from the radar screen. , so he immediately raised his vigilance.

At 11:37, the enemy aircraft group was 180 kilometers away from the Second Battalion.At this time, it began to turn left. After 15 minutes, it was 120 kilometers away from the Second Camp.At this time, the enemy plane group made another 30-degree turn and flew towards the second battalion.Mao Bangchu and the combat staff immediately cheered up, feeling that a stone in their hearts had finally fallen to the ground. Mao Bangchu immediately said to a combat staff: "Pass my order: order the second battalion to open the antenna at 37 kilometers and destroy the target!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the combat staff conveyed the order to the second battalion.

In the second battalion combat command post.When the enemy planes were about to fly over Accra, they suddenly turned their course to the First Battalion.Deputy Battalion Commander Wang and Staff Officer Gong, who were surrounding the close combat plotting table, kept their faces straight and said nothing. They felt that the battle would probably be handed over to the First Battalion.But they were not jealous of the first battalion, but worried that the first battalion's close-up combat skills were not strong enough, and they let go of the enemy aircraft group in a careless manner.At that point, all previous efforts have been for naught.

Wind and Thunder Surge Three Thousand Miles Chapter 7 Sword Points to the Sky

Unexpectedly, everything on the battlefield is changing rapidly. At 12:10, I saw the enemy aircraft group suddenly turning a corner.Staff Officer Gong immediately said excitedly: "Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, the enemy planes are turning towards us!"

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang also happily picked up the microphone, and his voice was loud and steady: "Report to vehicle No. 3, the enemy planes are turning around and flying towards our battalion."

"Car No. 3 understands!"

At 12:13, the distance of the enemy aircraft group was 90 kilometers.Yao Xijiu excitedly gave the order for forty missiles to be connected to the power supply.

After receiving the order to prepare the missiles, the No. 6 car of the second company immediately ordered the commander: "Give the order, connect the electrical connectors, and hide in each squad."

"Connect the electrical connector!" The * commander issued an order to the four firing squads.

After a while, the four launch squads reported to vehicle No. 6 at the same time: "The electrical connector is connected."

"Each squad hides!" the commander immediately ordered.
