Chapter 348: Airship Team Attacks

When the airship was flying in the canyon, Xie Bo couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead over and over again.

Their attack was launched in just one month after Ye Tao and his party were ambushed. The preparations made in these days were too diverse. What was related to the airship team was the transformation of the light box and a series of measures to reduce the weight of the airship to reduce the fuel consumption of the flight. It turned out that those light crossbows and ammunition were removed, and replaced by a set of semi-automatic control lamps. On both sides of the airship hoist basket, the baffle armor plates that did not bear weight were also removed. After removing the armor plates, no one felt that it was unsafe. At night attack

When they attacked, they were not worried about encountering any problems such as air shooting. They were not attacking military camps that had already become aware of air attacks, nor were they the fortresses in Yunzhou that started air defense drills every now and then, but the headquarters of a church organization. Even if the other party had the intention to counterattack, the large number of uncombat-capable faculty and believers gathered at the headquarters would make all the counterattacks disappear in the chaos. However, the added things on the airship allowed them to once again see the detailed and technical skills of Ye's workshop.

The inflatable part of the airship and the hanging basket are equipped with glass reflectors. As long as there is light from the rear and the side, you can immediately see bright spots. This greatly enhances the ability of the airship to control distance and formation between each other when traveling at night.

The two sets of signal lights installed on the airship are even more amazing. The signal lights are no longer the light sources made by mixing whale oil with other items, but electronic light sources. Each lamp group has only one light source and a set of batteries. But this light source is fully utilized. The light bulb is placed in a condenser, and the light rays are directed into five channels in front of the condenser. One of them is transmitted through the red glass cover in the middle, and the two channels are transmitted through the transparent glass cover and on both sides of the red lamp cover. One of the light sources is transmitted through a yellow fog lamp cover under the three lamp covers in the middle. And the last path is directed to the control panel of this group of lights.

There are three dials on the control panel, a trigger-like button and a main switch. After turning on the main switch, the light leading to the control panel is slightly transmitted through the dial and button inlaid with glass in the middle, which is convenient for use at night. The three dials correspond to three indicator lights. After adjustment, the indicator light will flash at the set frequency. Although this is done by a mechanical hood shading and releasing this old-fashioned method, the change of the flicker frequency of the three lights can be used to adjust the formation in the air and conduct overall instructions. Usually, the red strobe in the middle represents the flight speed, and the two transparent strobes on both sides are used to indicate the direction of travel ahead.

The same can not only represent left to right, but also how big the rotation radius is, etc., using a total of three lights to represent it is indeed a bit cramped, but it has made everyone in the airship team feel that it is very guaranteed. The headlight below uses the trigger-like button to manually control the strobe to facilitate various connections between airships. Now, although it is only the second generation of lead-acid batteries, the effect is still quite good. A battery pack can ensure that such a light pack works continuously for six hours. Now, the life of the light bulb is not very long, about six hours. Each airship is loaded with a set of spare batteries and a set of spare light bulbs.

With this kind of guarantee, Xie Bo was still unsure. Everyone was very calm. Most of the airship crew members felt a little ready to die, but Xie Bo could not think so. He wanted to take the airship team back intact. Fortunately, although Ye Tao agreed with his adventure plan, the original contact point on the ground was still ready. If there was an airship that could not return, there would be a way out. Xie Bo was so nervous that his command airship in the middle of the entire airship team almost made a mistake. Fortunately, most of the airship crew members were calm and sophisticated, and now they flashed lights all the way, relying on the two airships in front to guide the flight. The difficulty was not very high, and the team was not at all messy.

The ground guidance of the sect demon team was guided all the way through Zuifeng Gorge. They lit torches on the hills and gave the airship team a prompt. With the cooperation of the ground in the air, they were in danger and carried out such a difficult high-speed downwind flight. During the whole process, there was only one airship that was forced to land due to mechanical failure and was then protected and evacuated by the sect demon team.

After a night of flight, the airship team finally rushed out of the canyon and turned into a bombing formation to fly towards the Daomingzong General Hall centered on the Hunyuan Hall. They were actually more than a quarter of an hour earlier than scheduled. According to the scheduled plan, they finally made contact with the ground at this time, and the contact point for launching the attack had not yet been opened.

"General, you have arrived at the predetermined airspace." The observer of the airship where Xie Bo is located has extremely sharp eyesight. He made such a judgment based on the extremely faint starlight and the reflection of the surrounding mountains and rivers and water bodies as references.

"Okay. Is there no contact signal on the ground yet?" Xie Bo was a little anxious.

"No, as long as there is, you will definitely not be invisible." The observer said with confidence.

"Transfer, the formation is moving forward at a speed at a slow speed." Xie Bo thought about it and ordered. The speed is the slowest and the most fuel-saving speed. Now behind them is Zuifeng Gorge, and it is absolutely impossible for them to hover in place and wait for contact. They had to float slowly.

The waiting time is the most difficult. But the contact signal still appeared on time. In a house with a large courtyard, several people ran out, assuming three strobe lights to emit the signal.

"General!" The observer laughed and said, "General, I saw the signal."

"Signaler, contact the ground. Everything is normal for the airship team, waiting for the final order."

"Yes." The commander immediately pressed the button and called a series of signals.

The signal on the ground reacted very quickly. The signal hand read it while looking at it: "Everything is ready. The airship team attacks. I wish you good luck."

Xie Bo breathed a sigh of relief, and then issued a heroic order: "The whole team turned to the target direction, set the speed four. The airship team attacked."

With the signal sent by the command airship, all the signal hands on the airship eagerly sent a response signal on the very useful light group: the airship team attacks! The airship team attacks!...

Although it was just a flashing signal, even if it was an adjacent airship, no one would shout loudly. The airship team, which had developed the habit of silence, expressed a strong sense of fighting with the signal.

On the ground, groups of instructions were also transmitted from the courtyard through strobe lights and other methods. But the preparation work on the ground was much simpler, and the large army had long been lurking to the edge of the Daoming Sect's headquarters. From the second half of the night, such as the secret guards of the inner palace, the special camp, the guard camp of Ye Tao, the elite soldiers of the Dai family led by the Dai family, and even the people of the sect demon group, they had already given up the lurking methods of the escort army and the guards of the general escorts who were hiding from the other side's patrols, and instead pulled out the enemies who had hit their own team. Everyone had reached the best starting point one after another. The soldiers of the Guard Infantry Battalion even assumed that they had started off in advance under the warning of the guards, and had even made detailed target position calculations...

There is another group of people who are accumulating their physical strength and trying to rest under the protection of Ye Tao's guards. They have no other weapons except a short knife, but each of them has a camera. This is the first time the camera has appeared on the battlefield, and these nine people will remain in history as the first batch of field photographers.

For the people waiting around, as long as they decide to attack in the end, they have to wait until the airship team is blown up before they can move. For these people, waiting is also boring.

"General, arrive above the target. Team 1, Team 2, Team 3 is ready to report." The signalman said loudly.

"Very good, attack according to the predetermined plan. Remember, attack according to the 'pre-determined plan'." Xie Bo said with a sneer.

"Yes!" The signaling hands were very excited. They naturally knew that this scheduled plan was a bit different from the original reported plan.

Some people who were observing on the ground quickly began to mutter: "What is the airship team doing?" In their telescope, they could barely capture that the airship team actually dropped a height level together and dived into three teams to dive towards different targets. After dropping the first batch of sulphur bombs, they quickly relied on the thrust of the rocket nozzle...

That's right, it's different from the plan. Xie Bo and everyone in the airship team felt that level bombing was too unsatisfactory, and its power was too small, so they turned the horizontal bombing plan into dive bombing... Although their dive angle was not large, their accuracy was increased exponentially. Amid the screams they immediately caused, they began to rule out the possibility of a strong counterattack.

Xie Bo personally led the first team and took the lead in conducting a thorough name attack on the areas where the most important figures in the main hall lived. Almost every gorgeous building and pavilion was hit by at least one sullient bomb. Then they turned around keenly in the air and turned around again.

The second team went to the building complex of the main hall of the Hunyuan Hall. This was the most fundamental symbol of the Daoming Sect. Although there were no one except a few on duty trainers in the middle of the night, everyone understood how much psychological impact the destruction of the Hunyuan Hall would be on all the believers of the Daoming Sect.

The third team bombed horizontally in a normal manner and was not too picky about the target. They attacked the living areas where the most religious believers and members of the Daoming Emperor were living. Whether it was the preaching halls that instilled doctrines in the believers, the living areas where the believers lived in poverty, the living areas where the escorts and guards of the main hall, the large campus, etc., they were all within their bombing range.

Under the orderly pouring of tinder bombs by eighty-four airships, in less than a quarter of an hour, the entire Daomingzong General Hall was ignited. On the hillside not far away, a photographer adjusted the shutter to manual and gently pressed the shutter... The picture of the flame reflecting the red sky is not visible to everyone.
