Chapter 269 The Supervisor is Not Wrong
Zhao Yulin looked at the swaying treetops in front of the courtyard and said that the wind was indeed too strong and the military supervisor had done nothing wrong. He asked Yuqi to find all the leaders of the heavenly army so that he could talk to them in person.
Wanyan Chengmin had been besieged in Guyuan for nearly half a month. Zhao Yulin felt that the situation was extremely dangerous. If the city was breached, he could not guarantee that the Jin troops who had revolted would still be alive.
Later, Wang Dahai, the captain of the Tianjun Squadron, and Liu Zhi, the military supervisor, arrived.
He asked: Is there a suitable take-off window in the recent weather?
Military Supervisor Liu Zhi said firmly that the astronomer thought it was not yet, and they had not waited for the right moment.
Zhao Yulin pointed at Guyuan on the sand table and said: Guyuan has been besieged for nearly half a month and it is extremely dangerous. Since there has been a strong southeast wind, let's fly directly with the wind to bomb Guyuan and rescue the heroes of the 9th Column.
Squadron leader Wang Dahai immediately perked up and said excitedly that he had long wanted to go into the sky to fight, but the military supervisor stopped him from flying. Okay, let's go and bomb the enemy in Guyuan.
Military Supervisor Liu Zhi said with some embarrassment that this method was good, but they had never practiced long-distance flight raids. This place was at least two hundred miles away from Guyuan, and the risk was too great.
Zhao Yulin thought it was okay and patiently explained to him that it was nearly 200 miles to Guyuan and he had a way to correct the direction. He told him to give it a try. We should find two guides who were familiar with the terrain and bomb the enemy in Anhua first after we set off. It would be much safer to reduce the weight by 30% before flying to Guyuan. What do you think?
This plan is even better. It not only fully utilizes the surprise attack function of the Space Force, but also reduces the weight of flying with missiles, and can ensure that the direction can be easily corrected during long-distance flight.
Zhao Yulin asked Miao Gui to find Gao Jin to discuss the counterattack in Anhua. Tomorrow he would go to the sky himself to command the sky army to bomb the Mongolian positions.
Military Supervisor Liu Zhi immediately opposed his plan to go to heaven, saying that the heavenly army was newly formed and very dangerous, so how could the third young master be allowed to take the risk?
Miao Gui and Wu Yuqi strongly opposed it.
Zhao Yulin said that he designed the hot air balloon, and he was most familiar with it, and he had seen data on balloons flying thousands of miles. It was precisely because the Sky Army was newly formed that he wanted to command it personally. If everyone was really proficient, would he still be needed?
Zhao Yulin explained for a long time, and Yuqi agreed while crying and acting angry.
At night, Feihu and Wu Yuqi kept nagging him about being undisciplined and too risky, and that this was making a joke of the future of our Shenwei Army.
It took a long time for Zhao Yulin to persuade him to calm down, and he began to prepare cotton clothes for him to go to heaven.
Gao Jin was deploying a counterattack on the Anhua front line. Miao Guilai told him the news about the young master, that the third young master would personally lead the heavenly army to help in the battle.
He was also concerned about Zhao Yulin's safety. Looking at the time, it was too late to write another letter to stop him. The general known as Crazy Gao tore off the gauze on his face and said fiercely: "Young master is risking his life to come to Anhua to help in the battle. Go back and tell your brothers not to let the Third Young Master in heaven see anyone who is scared."
Let’s go.
His words "Young master is coming to join the war" was the best pre-war mobilization, and the soldiers quickly led their troops to their respective battle positions.
In Guyuan, Wanyan Chengmin led the 20,000 main forces of the 9th column to defend Zhenrong City and had been fighting the Mongolian army for half a month. The enemy knew that the old city wall was poor, so they concentrated their forces and firearms to attack, and had already blown down two old city walls and rushed in. Wanyan Chengmin had no choice but to abandon the old city and defend the new city.
There is still food now, but not many weapons.
The key issue is that there is a problem with the war preparedness wells. Two out of the three wells are in the old city, which is now occupied by the enemy. The water output of the wells in the old city is small, and it is very difficult for the brothers to get water.
His deputy Wanyan Hongchang reported that nearly half of the personnel had been killed or wounded, but Kuoduan has nearly 100,000 people surrounding us. If Commander Gao cannot come to our rescue in time, we will definitely all be buried here.
Wanyan Chengmin asked him contemptuously: Are you scared?
Wanyan Hongchang roared: "Why are you so cowardly? The Third Young Master has never regarded us Jin people as outsiders. The soldiers in the Nine Columns were led by General Huo Fenghuang, and none of them are cowards."
Wanyan Chengmin laughed out loud, revealing his yellow teeth that had not been washed for half a month, and said: This is our good brother.
Wanyan Hongchang took the initiative to propose finding the right opportunity to launch a counterattack tomorrow and recapture the old city. Otherwise, the depth of the new city was too narrow, and the Mongolian army could mount the Huihui artillery on the city wall to bombard them, and they would definitely not be able to defend the city.
The two continued their discussion on tactics.
The Shenwei Army's Tianjun base in the north of Huating County. As soon as the sky was light, Zhao Yulin dressed neatly and came to the landing field. Wang Dahai told him that the wind was weaker now, and the opportunity had come. The balloon cover could not be lifted in the past few days.
Zhao Yulin waved his hand, and his brothers rushed into the basket. He told Yuqi not to worry, this was the first time that a hot air balloon was used in combat, and the Mongolian army had never seen one before. They might be scared away when they saw it, so it was absolutely safe.
He didn't look at Yuqi, and quickly stepped into the hanging basket to check the equipment. The sergeant told him that everything was complete, and a tin trumpet was specially prepared for the third young master, which reduced the number of thunder bombs.
Zhao Yulin said sternly, "How can this be done? They are all the same, just install them."
He picked up his 800 million rifle and checked the magazine and the bolt. The hot air balloons began to rise rapidly one by one.
The southeast wind was indeed strong, blowing the hot air balloons forward rapidly and at an angle.
Squadron leader Wang Dahai used the microphone to constantly call out to adjust the posture and control the speed, and the hot air balloons were basically able to maintain formation flying.
Zhao Yulin thought it was very good that this newly born space army dared to take off and fight in strong winds. Even if they didn't kill a single enemy, it would be considered a victory.
Soon, he felt cold all over and a little numb. The operator asked him to move his hands and feet freely, but he had to bear with it. It was cold in the sky, and it got colder the higher he flew.
Of course Zhao Yulin knew this and was looking forward to the sun coming out soon.
After a while, they heard explosions coming from the battlefield ahead. Zhao Yulin picked up the loudspeaker and gave orders to Wang Dahai, saying that they were just bombing along the way and did not need to consider the accuracy of the bombing. As long as they could drop the bomb on the enemy's position, it would be a great achievement. Safety must be put first.
Wang Dahai understood it immediately and ordered the troops to climb thirty feet and prepare for bombing according to the high-altitude bombing tutorial.
One by one, the hot air balloon operators increased the power, inflated the balloons and climbed upwards.
It was already bright in the sky, and the hot air balloon quickly entered the battlefield, and was already seen by soldiers on the ground.
The brothers of the Shenwei Army knew that it was their own heavenly army that had arrived. Their morale was greatly boosted. They shouted, "The Third Young Master is here! Kill! " and bravely rushed towards the enemy camp.
The Mongolian soldiers were stunned. What the hell was that weapon?
Can fly in the sky?
There is a hanging basket hanging under the big ball. What is it for?
While they were still thinking and guessing, the hanging basket was like laying eggs. Thunder bombs were dropped from the sky one by one on strings. The loud explosions made them find the answer immediately.
There were continuous explosions in the 300-meter-wide hot air balloon transit channel, which frightened the timid Mongolian soldiers so much that they turned around and ran, shouting, "The God is angry, the God is angry."
Gao Jin had already seen the arrival of the Heavenly Army, and immediately seized the opportunity to blow the charge horn of the Divine Power Army, and launched a major counterattack with the Heavenly Army.
The Shenwei Army launched an all-out counterattack on the ten-mile-long broad front. Zhao Yulin saw through the telescope that large groups of Shenwei Army cavalry were maneuvering on both sides, and felt that Gao Jin's command art had improved a lot.
Looking at the Space Army soldiers under the hot air balloon, he found that his brothers were dropping bombs as much as they could, so he quickly picked up the microphone and reminded them to leave half behind.
The bombers of the Tianjun army were having so much fun bombing that they had forgotten to count. They immediately stopped after hearing his reminder.
Wang Dahai shouted and counted. It turned out that most of the stocks had been thrown out. Originally, 30% had been thrown out, but now less than 40% was left.
Zhao Yulin shouted that it didn’t matter, as long as we could get to Guyuan we would win, and two thunder bombs would scare the Mongolian army to death.
The brothers immediately laughed and quickly made balloons and flew to Guyuan.
Zhao Yulin was on the left, Wang Dahai was on the right, flying one on the left and the other on the right. The military supervisor Liu Zhi, who was observing in the middle, found that the wind was getting stronger and stronger. The speed was fast, but it was difficult to control, especially it was difficult to ensure the accurate course.
The guide reported that we had deviated from our course.
The astronomer said the crosswind was too strong and we couldn't adjust. We were going to be blown into the desert. The brothers in the basket became nervous and tried their best to operate the balloon but to no avail.
Zhao Yulin suddenly thought of flying down, as close to the ground as possible to reduce the wind. He immediately ordered to lower the flight altitude. Anyway, they were not carrying out a bombing mission, so was it not possible to adjust the course?
Zhao Yulin didn't believe it. He immediately shouted into the loudspeaker, and the hot air balloons dropped rapidly. Some of them dropped too fast and flew close to the treetops. One by one, they performed dangerous actions. The nine balloons chased each other in the air, and adjusted their routes to the northeast.
Zhao Yulin's hot air balloon descended too rapidly and crashed directly into the treetops below, scaring the operator so much that he screamed and pulled the operating rope rapidly.
He had collapsed in the hanging basket because of the coldness from his wounds, so he simply became a stoker, blowing air desperately to increase the fire power.
With the efforts of the operator, the balloon flew away from the ground, rubbing against the hillside, and finally returned to the air. However, one corner of the basket had been rubbed and cracked into three large holes, and the cold wind whistled straight at the body.
However, everyone felt that it was still not feasible. The southeast wind was still very strong, and once it rose to a height of thirty meters, it would be impossible to correct the course.
Zhao Yulin asked Xiangdao to estimate the direction and asked everyone to make another effort, fly diagonally to the northeast on the right, and then increase the altitude and fly straight on the predetermined route.
After a short rest, the team members operated the hot air balloon again to adjust its course. They shook the wind blades desperately, pushed up the fire to make it rise, and pressed down the fire to make it descend, constantly changing the operations. After nearly an hour of hard work, they finally adjusted it into place.
At Wang Dahai's command, the flying squadron rose fifty feet into the air, and the formation flew rapidly towards Guyuan, riding the wind.
Zhao Yulin started coughing and suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. The operator was shocked and asked what happened to the third young master.
Zhao Yulin held onto the hanging basket and cried out for help, his old illness coming back.
He picked up the microphone and told everyone not to worry, the purpose of our bombing was to cause panic in the enemy, as long as the thunder bomb was dropped, it would be considered a success. After arriving in Guyuan, the operator's task was to land the hot air balloon in the city, not to find a target to bomb, understand?
