Chapter 225: Sky Fortress, Covering the Sky and the Sun
fruitful.
During the autumn harvest.
Nature is the most joyful.
I can only say that this wave is really happening.
Made a fortune.
When Lewis gas bombs were used to bomb the Japanese airport, the main target was the living area of the Japanese pilots.
Therefore, this group of Japanese pilots were the most severely poisoned, and the death rate was naturally the highest. Even the captain of the Japanese 3rd Flight Squadron was killed.
The 69 Japanese pilots killed directly destroyed 23 Mustang fighter planes.
Adding to the previous 7 Mustang fighters...
At this moment, Lin Xu has 30 Mustang fighter jets in his hands!
This is basically the size of a fighter squadron!
air force.
The foundation is already there!
The captured Japanese Major General and commander of the 4th Heavy Artillery Regiment, Takayama Tomoe, directly blew up a production line of M2 60mm mortars.
The arsenal now has production lines for M1 carbines and G43 semi-automatic rifles.
Coupled with the production line of the M2 60mm mortar, the basic weapons and equipment have gradually taken shape...
A total of more than 11,000 Japanese devils were killed this time.
More than 43 G90 semi-automatic rifles, more than 2 Czech light machine guns, 60 Maxim heavy machine guns and M mm mortars were destroyed.
Although we now have a production line for the G43 semi-automatic rifle and can mass-produce about 10 rifles a day, the production capacity is still insufficient.
In addition, due to limited conditions in the arsenal, the quality of the G43 semi-automatic rifles produced is difficult to match that of the standard G43 semi-automatic rifles.
Not to mention anything else, the sniper scope on the G43 semi-automatic rifle alone cannot be replicated.
These basic weapons and equipment can be equipped to one or two regular infantry regiments, or two special infantry battalions like the New 1st Regiment.
The weapons and equipment for the next expansion are already in place.
"The reward for destroying the Japanese 4th Heavy Artillery Regiment's organizational equipment is actually... an 88mm anti-aircraft gun..."
"The 88mm anti-aircraft gun is known as the king of anti-aircraft guns!"
"It's effective whether it's shooting down aircraft from the air or dealing with infantry and armored units on the ground!"
"This 88mm anti-aircraft gun has a maximum air-to-air range of over ten thousand meters, and a maximum ground-to-ground range of even fourteen thousand meters..."
"A well-deserved heavy artillery!"
"When in combat mode, it generally weighs seven or eight tons."
"It's towed by a specialized truck, similar to the M1 105mm howitzer."
"There's no need to worry about its maneuverability."
"And as an anti-aircraft gun... its normal rate of fire can even reach 15 to 20 rounds per minute."
"This is a number that is difficult for normal heavy artillery to achieve."
"This 88mm anti-aircraft gun is the perfect gun for both air defense and ground fire coverage."
"The 88mm anti-aircraft gun is well-deserved... the title of heavy artillery."
"I'm afraid a heavy artillery platoon can only be equipped with one 88mm anti-aircraft gun."
"It's a pity that the explosion was a little small, only 5."
Lin Xu smacked his lips, feeling like a greedy snake trying to swallow an elephant.
"As for the Japanese supply corps' equipment bonus... it's 100 Opel military trucks. 100 of these Opel military trucks have been dropped before, and they have excellent performance..."
"If you want mobile operations and blitzkrieg, this type of military truck is indispensable."
"The final explosive item is..."
"The enemy's 3rd Flying Squadron's equipment exploded..."
Lin Xu took a glance, and suddenly his eyes glowed red!
This……
The surprise is always at the end!
A bomber!
A B-17 bomber
[Equipment: B-17 Bomber] (Heavy) (Flying Fortress)
[Crew: 10! Two pilots, one co-pilot, one navigator, one bombardier, one flight engineer, one radio operator, and four machine gunners]
[Maximum bomb load: about 8 tons! ]
[Speed: Cruising speed about 280km/h, maximum speed about 400km/h]
[Liftoff limit: about 10600 meters]
[Maximum range: approximately 3000 km!]
[Weapon System: Equipped with 13 12.7mm Browning M2 heavy machine guns! ]
[Machine gun deployment positions: nose, back, belly, both sides of the waist, etc.! ]
……
The B-17 bomber has many advantages.
It basically has all the advantages that a bomber has.
Otherwise, it would not be known as the Sky Fortress.
high speed.
Big size.
The voyage is long.
Excellent defensive capabilities and aerial flight capabilities...
Even if it was hit a few times, it would not hinder the B-17 bomber from continuing to fly.
In terms of weapon systems, the crossfire network formed by 13 12.7mm Browning heavy machine guns is enough to tear apart any enemy aircraft.
"The maximum payload has even reached eight tons..."
"I'm so greedy..."
"Everything is good..."
"It's just... a little fucked..."
"To fully utilize the B-17's capabilities, you need 10 pilots..."
"Wait... that's not right... there's still room for maneuver here..."
"We need a pilot and a co-pilot..."
"This can be reduced to one..."
"in addition……"
"It's not necessary for pilots to be navigators or bomber gunners."
"We can definitely find some machine gunners and bombardiers who can perform smoothly in the air, give them a little training, and shift their battlefield from the ground to the air."
"in this case……"
"Could it be possible to take Lao Li up to the sky and shoot airplanes?"
Lin Xu's eyes lit up...
He really didn't open up to this situation just now.
The first moment to get the equipment in place.
Lin Xu directly arranged for the system caravan to deliver it.
Of course.
There's no point in having so many planes sitting at the airport.
Lin Xu simply placed the B-17 bomber at the airport.
at the same time.
Lin Xu brought all the students from the aviation school with him.
The purpose was to select some bombardiers, pilots, radio operators, machine gunners, etc. who could directly board B-17 bombers to fight.
"Gudong..."
"Old Lin."
"Here comes another big guy..."
"This plane..."
"Why is it so big..."
"I thought the Mustang fighter was big enough, but I didn't expect it to be nothing compared to this giant..."
"Lao Lin, what is this..."
After Li Yunlong saw the B-17 bomber, his eyes could not move.
Although the bigger the weapon, the better, but the bigger the weapon, the more impressive it looks.
Tanks are like this.
That's what the cannon is like.
Even grenades are like this, big grenades, who doesn’t like them?
The same goes for airplanes.
"This is a B-17 heavy bomber."
“Also called the Sky Fortress.”
"10 crew members."
"The Anti-War Alliance just provided support."
"One driver is enough."
"But we still need a navigator, a bombardier, and a flight engineer..."
"A radio operator."
"And... four machine gunners."
"I wanted to familiarize them with it in advance."
"We will be fighting in the air in the future."
