Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

A flamethrower can also be called a flamethrower.

It's the kind where a soldier carries three barrels on his back and a spray gun weapon that's lit on his back.

Among the three barrels, the middle barrel contains helium, which is used to spray out the gasoline and thickener in the other two barrels.

The biggest feature of this weapon is that it can adhere to the surface of objects and burn. It is a weapon for soldiers to deal with fortresses.

As long as you spray at the shooting port of the fortress, the condensed gasoline will enter the interior of the fort along the shooting port.

In addition to these weapons, Yang Bing and the others also have some other gadgets, but those are improvements to existing weapons, not innovations.

In addition to Yang Bing's research and development of new weapons, Ding Yi and Dong Shaoyang also have a lot of good things.

It's just that these things are still on the drawing board, and even the experimental models have not been manufactured yet.

The monoplane fighter that Ding Yi and the others had previously developed has been officially finalized, codenamed: Nightingale.

Referring to the Nightingale's powerful firepower, Ding Yi felt that a fighter plane with more powerful firepower that could specifically target ground targets should be designed.

As a result, Nightingale's firepower-enhanced version of the Fighting Falcon appeared.

The Fighting Falcon has four 12.7mm machine guns, plus two 25mm cannons, and can mount four 4kg aerial bombs under the wings.

Since the Fighting Falcon is aimed at ground targets, it will encounter ground anti-aircraft fire attacks.

As a result, the Fighting Falcon strengthened the lower armor of the aircraft, which greatly enhanced the Fighting Falcon's survivability.

Ding Yi and the others expected that with the powerful firepower of the Fighting Falcon, any target on the ground that was targeted by him would not be able to escape death.

The single-wing, twin-engine bomber named Golden Eagle also has derivative models.

As mentioned before, the load capacity of the Golden Eagle is about 8.8 tons, and its derivative model, the Pelican, is slightly smaller than the Golden Eagle.

It has the same twin engines, but the fuselage is shortened and its wings are larger to provide greater lift at the shortest runway distance.

At the same time, the full load capacity is also less than that of the Golden Eagle. The Golden Eagle has a full load of 8.8 tons, while the Pelican only has 6.5 tons.

But judging from the name, the Pelican is not a land-based aircraft, but a carrier-based aircraft.

At the same time, the Pelican was designed into several models.

The Pelican-A type is a carrier-based bomber, and the Pelican-B type is a torpedo plane.

An additional thing to mention here is that the torpedo shooting machine was proposed by the Navy. Because after people from the Navy Department came to see the Pelican, they felt that it would be difficult for the Pelican to sink a warship if it was only equipped with aerial bombs.

The best weapon for sinking warships is torpedoes.

As a result, Ding Yi and the others modified some parts of the Pelican-A model and derived the Pelican-B model.

Normally, the Pelican-A type mainly carries aerial bombs, and the Pelican-B type mainly carries an external torpedo.

But this situation is not absolute. The fear of insufficient firepower in the bones of Daxia people is vividly reflected at this moment.

Therefore, in an emergency, Pelican-A and Pelican-B can be used interchangeably.

It's just that when the Pelican-A mounts a torpedo, it is one size smaller than the torpedoes mounted on the Pelican-B.

When the Pelican B-type is equipped with aerial bombs, it can only carry four 500-kilogram-class aerial bombs. The bomb load is less than that of the A-type, and the aerial bombs are external, not like the A-type. The bombs were placed in the belly of the aircraft.

Of course, with bombers, carrier-based fighter jets, as the escort force of carrier-based aircraft, are naturally put on the agenda.

The Osprey fighter is a carrier-based fighter designed by Ding Yi and others for aircraft carriers.

Compared with the Fighting Falcon and the Nightingale, the biggest difference between the Osprey and the Osprey is that its firepower is weakened and its fuselage is also shorter.

However, the Osprey uses the same wing design as the Nightingale, which results in the Osprey's ability to stay in the air being stronger than the Nightingale.

After all, it would be really embarrassing to run out of fuel halfway while flying over the vast sea.

The Osprey is said to have weak firepower, but that is compared to the Nightingale and Fighting Falcon. In fact, its firepower is not weak at all compared to other fighters.

Two 12.7 mm machine guns and four 7.62 caliber machine guns.

With such a firepower configuration, can you say he is weak?

On the Navy's side, when Dong Shaoyang from the Ship Research Institute reported to Lin Yi before, he said that they had only designed one type of capital ship, which was the Tang Jiang-class heavy fast cruiser.

There is only one original intention in designing this battleship, and that is to say "Those who can outrun it cannot defeat it, and those who can defeat it cannot outrun it."

The purpose is to break up the relationship.

Because through the Battle of Jutland, Daxia's engineers discovered that heavy cruisers could still play a huge role in naval battles.

The thick armor made any battleship other than a battleship tremble when they saw him.

In that situation, as long as it does not encounter a battleship, this kind of heavy cruiser can completely chase others.

Engineers from the Ship Research Institute felt that this kind of warship was just right for Daxia.

After all, the sea area of ​​Daxia is really too big now, and they feel that the cost performance of aircraft carriers is much better than that of battleships.

Therefore, in order to control such a large sea area without wasting money and building too many battleships, this kind of heavy cruiser that can serve as a second-tier battleship came into their eyes.

Thus, a magically modified heavy-duty fast cruiser was born.

One more word here. In history, the Hans Empire also built a so-called heavy fast cruiser, but that battleship was a bit different from their good ones.

In terms of protection, it is not as good as a heavy cruiser, let alone a battleship. In terms of speed, it can't be faster than a cruiser.

Originally, the heavy cruiser was between the cruiser and the battleship, but the Hans people came up with something between the heavy cruiser and the cruiser.

Isn't this what you feel after eating enough?

The Daxia Empire is truly between heavy cruisers and battleships.

In terms of firepower and protection, the Tang Jiang-class is weaker than the Tang-class battleship and higher than the heavy cruiser, but its speed is much faster than the Tang-class battleship, and can already reach 30 knots.

Therefore, this battleship is truly a killer below the level of a battleship.

Moreover, strictly speaking, this big heavy fast cruiser with a full load displacement of more than 2.8 tons and four 320-caliber triple turrets is not a cruiser class.

In other countries, it is most likely due to the existence of battleships, that is, because in Daxia, now Daxia has developed a country with a Tang class of more than 7 tons, so it is called a cruiser.

It is worth mentioning that due to the maturity of technology, Daxia can now build a warship faster and faster, and the price is getting lower and lower.

In addition, when Dong Shaoyang reported to Lin Yi, he was talking about battleships, and internationally, the classification of battleships is cruisers and above.

So for ships such as light cruisers and below, they are generally called auxiliary ships.

Dong Shaoyang and the others also designed a lot of auxiliary ships, but they didn't tell Lin Yi. After all, in their opinion, it is just an auxiliary ship, not a main ship, so it is not important.
