Chapter five hundred and twenty-fifth new starting point
Chapter 525 New Starting Point
Yao Beiwu and the pilots under his command, and the ground crew members always felt that their eyes were strange recently. That air battle caused the airship team to suffer the most serious losses in history. Although the final result could be said to be their victory, they were the prides of the entire Yunzhou. This little setback made them feel lost and felt greatly wronged. As the technology is becoming more mature, even the cost of these military-standard airships they used has dropped significantly compared to before. The cost of the airship can at best be armed to 100 to 150 Yunzhou light infantry and ensure their salary and support for a year. Many people are doing this.
The cost of the same construction was relieved. With the current wealth of Yunzhou and Dongping, such construction cost would not cause too much economic pressure. In contrast, the impact of airships on the economy and people's livelihood of Bei Liao is much greater. The Bei Liao Airship Team established with Ye Tao's intentional indulgence caused less losses to its own side in the air battle than many insiders expected. After receiving the battle report, Ye Tao did not take this matter too much. However, when Ye Tao heard that the airship team was in a bad mood, he realized that this matter still needed to be cared about. After all, leading the soldiers to fight was not playing a chess game, and simple calculations could not take everything.
But the series of proposals submitted by Yao Beiwu later made him feel somewhat relieved. Although the setbacks at this moment made the air guardians in Yunzhou very depressed, they were not discouraged, but faced the fact that the enemy also had airships. Yao Beiwu was right. There were airships in Beiliao and airships in Chunnan. Since we all believe that there must be a battle between Northeast and Chunnan, it would be no harm to encounter air battles earlier and prepare earlier. Yao Beiwu and others
After contacting the captains of several airship teams, everyone agreed to start to adjust the training methods and strengthen the training of air combat. Yao Beiwu also directly proposed to the Yunzhou Command and the Ye Family Workshop Research Institute to build a more air-bearing model. It is definitely impossible to change the airship in a comprehensive manner, but at least each airship team is equipped with two or three such airships. When facing the flying airships that are flying very high in Bei Liao, their tactics can be much more flexible and rich.
There are many things, and you don’t have to rely entirely on your own extreme use of airship performance. They know that although the airship crews in Beiliao are immature, these enemies will grow sooner or later, and they cannot always count on this. Although they know that there are aircraft such as faster speeds, higher ceilings, and extremely easy to hit airships, Yao Beiwu did not make much effort in this regard. He knew that the current aircraft are as expensive as the airships in the past, and that
Although the airship needs mooring and requires a large number of ground crews and supplies, the airship actually does not have high requirements for take-off and landing sites, and does not require special preparation sites. It is also possible to simply set up take-off and landing sites, especially suitable for continuous deployment during the advance of the army. The aircraft... Yao Beiwu did not know the current lower limit of the take-off and landing distance of the aircraft, but he had seen it at the Ye Family Workshop's research institute. The three-mile-long runway left a deep impression on him.
Since the enemy also had airships, Yao Beiwu simply proposed that they could no longer fly as unrestrainedly as before on the battlefield. Yao Beiwu proposed the war zone air service patrol plan, planning to set up two air patrol lines on the front line to ensure that the enemy's airships could be discovered in the main combat direction. Although with current communication methods, it is impossible to urgently call our own airships for support, it is completely fine to engage in battles and block the enemy. In addition to this patrol plan, Yao Beiwu also first proposed the concept of air control in the war zone, which made Ye Tao overjoyed.
"General Yao, Marshal Ye will go to your department for inspection at noon tomorrow. In addition, someone will send a confidential document to you later, please check it yourself. The code for collecting the document is: Sky, 5541." When Zhongjun Town informed Yao Beiwu through a brief telephone, Yao Beiwu realized that Ye Tao would not come to his base just because he came to blame him, nor would he hand over an important document that needed to be delivered by a special officer to an officer he did not trust. Then, Ye Tao's purpose was very clear. He felt that the things he submitted before were still valuable, and their combat was not meaningless. And Marshal Ye's visit was enough to boost the bleak morale in the airship mooring field.
Ye Tao did not have to bring the original set of things that dealt with Shangguan's examination in time and space. In this set of things were also spontaneously produced. Even in Dongping, which was the least concerned about false condoms, under the rule of the Northern Xinjiang Administration, which was the least concerned about false condoms, military and political officials at all levels were just as skilled in playing with them. After a hurry notice, Yao Beiwu immediately assigned the task, and the soldiers who sincerely respected and admired Ye Tao immediately became busy. Although they felt that they had suffered a defeat, they still hoped to show their best side to Marshal Ye. They knew that Ye Tao was not to see them who were dejected.
The airship mooring ground was originally the place where discipline and procedures are the most important among various types of military camps. The mooring ground, the surrounding buffer areas, the workshops used to inspect the airships, and the sergeant camps were tossed by everyone at the fastest speed. Although the originally clean and tidy camps were not spotless, they were completely renewed and almost every detail was neatly sorted out. At noon, except for the fixed posts, all the soldiers were concentrated in the open mooring ground, waiting for the arrival of Yunzhou No. 1.
Ye Tao has always been on time. Just as the soldiers started line up, the lookout whistle waved the banner to signal to the soldiers gathered on the mooring field: Yunzhou One has appeared in the sky. Along with it, there are also escort airships that look like snow owl airships, but seem to be a little different.
Ye Tao did not put on any airs. After the airship was stopped, he took the initiative to get off the airship first. The soldiers present were in good spirits, which made him quite satisfied. "Don't put on this airs, this is just a routine inspection." Ye Tao said to Yao Beiwu with a smile.
Now, Ye Tao's travel is not called "routine inspection". Everyone knows that Ye Tao must have come for the war a while ago. So, it is just to make everyone feel at ease. Yao Beiwu smiled and said: "If you don't show off your clothes, the camp can be cleaned, but it will take a day to make all the soldiers satisfied with Marshal Ye. I don't have the ability. Marshal Ye, since he is here, are you..."
Ye Tao nodded and said, "Okay, I originally wanted to gather everyone to talk, so let's go now. There are still many things to talk to you later."
Ye Tao turned around, stepped on the gangway again, and walked up a few steps, allowing himself to be in a position where everyone could see but did not feel a sense of distance at all, and said loudly: "Soldiers, I came here, to listen to you to tell you about the first air battle in history, you fought bravely, and your bravery will be remembered forever in history. And from the day of your heroic battle, the war began to take a new direction, and our battle spread from the ground and from the sea to the air.
I firmly believe that from now on, the sky belongs to you. Before, I heard that you were depressed because you suffered some losses, but these losses were not greater than those of the enemy. You drove out the enemy and won the entire sky... So, no matter what, I think this is a victory. And when I came here, I also brought you rewards and honors. From today on, the crashed enemy aircraft will begin to be included in the military merit assessment category of Yunzhou and Dongping. It is still a very important one...."
Ye Tao simply explained the military merit assessment standards and rewards of the flight team that was first tried within the jurisdiction of the Northern Xinjiang Jinglifu Prefecture. The soldiers in Yunzhou have always been rich, and pilots need a military branch of a considerable level of culture and can become pilots. Even if the soldiers here are not from wealthy military families, at least their families can have money to support them in both civil and military cultivation. The salary of the pilot is the best among the entire Northern Xinjiang Jinglifu Prefecture's army. This time, although the money reward is generous, everyone does not feel very excited, but the following terms make everyone eager. Every time they fall into an enemy airship, they can be on the airship.
A flying boat mark is drawn on the tail wing, an airship flight team, and if you fall more than ten airships, you will be able to get the title of "Air Trump" and a specific group mark will be drawn on the head of the airship. If you fall more than twenty, the airship team will be able to fully customize the overall painting of the airship. If you want to draw the airship, you can just do whatever you want. As long as all the necessary numbers and the army marks are there, this type of airship and their crew will enjoy many "privileges" within the jurisdiction of the entire Northern Xinjiang Economic Administration. For example, the airship crew members will undoubtedly be very keen on the dressing priority of new airships, supply priority on the battlefield, etc.
For the army under the Northern Xinjiang Administration, which regards honor as more important than anything else, this kind of honor achieved by painting is very, very attractive. You know, they are flying troops. When they think of them flying in the air, whether they are enemies or friendly forces, they can see their great achievements. The awkward airships of the Northern Liao Dynasty will be frightened when they see their great achievements, and they will burst into longings. But it is not easy to achieve this. In this battle, even the most powerful group of pilots among them fell two airships independently and drew two airship marks on the tail wing. In addition to making them even more itchy, they have little other functions.
After Ye Tao's explanation, the original depression was swept away, and the rest was the desire to fight to go to the air to continue to defeat the enemy's airship... Ye Tao's half of his goal had already reached
Later, when Ye Tao met alone, General Yao Beiwu reported the combat situation to Ye Tao in more detail than the report submitted, and what he received from Ye Tao was a brand new appointment: the commander-in-chief of the war zone. He had a very clear impression of air combat, and he would begin to coordinate the actions of all airship teams, organize special training plans for air targets, and be responsible for acceptance of the results, organize airship teams to conduct reconnaissance, discover and clearance of enemy air forces. The original cooperation with the ground forces in ground bombing will also be organized and coordinated from the original airship teams through the Central Military Barracks, and then become the Central Military Barracks, which are overwhelmed by him and the Central Military Barracks, and a major power has been delegated.
