The sky is very blue and there are not many clouds. With the naked eye, you can see more than ten miles away. The visibility is not very good. Today is a suitable day for bombing, Wang Wu, who is driving the airship, thinks so.

The airship roared across the Bowker Strait. This attack had no fixed target. As long as it saw Indian targets on the ground, it would drop bombs and bomb them. When it encountered a large group of Indian troops, it would lower its altitude and use Maxim to strafe them.

This kind of air raid is actually reconnaissance and harassment, which is of little help to the overall strategy. However, Li Xiu still insists on coming to bomb as long as the weather permits.

The first is to continue to put pressure on the Indian army, and the second is to conduct battlefield reconnaissance. Each airship has two military staff officers who are responsible for correcting the deployment of the Indian army on the map.

Wang Wu is in a good mood today. If nothing else happens, this will be his last mission. After completing this mission, he will return to Singapore with the ship, and then take the Ming Dynasty ship back to the Ming Dynasty. He has four months of vacation.

, you can take a breather at home comfortably.

It has been two years since I left home. When I left home, my wife was still pregnant. Now I think the child is over a year old and I have not seen it yet. I miss the days of the Ming Dynasty so much. I would go out in the morning and get a set of pancakes and drink a bowl of bean juice.

A morning passed by walking around the neighborhood and visiting relatives. At noon, I had a roast duck, took a bath with my child and slept. In the evening, I invited some friends to have a meal of mutton or boiled fish. If that’s not enough,

BBQ on the edge of Chaobai River.

Thinking about it makes your mouth water, this is how people live. Who can sit in this rumbling airship all day long and have trouble talking.

It’s extremely hot in this part of India all day long. I used to be surprised that those Tamil people’s hair was so dark. Now I understand, it’s because of their mother’s tanning.

Wang Wu felt sad when he thought that he, a fair-skinned man, had now become as black as coal. He didn't know if he could win the favor of the girl from Mingyuelou with this look.

Looking back at the two airships accompanying him, Wang Wu showed an evil smile on his face. The unlucky man piloting these two airships would not be able to return to Ming Dynasty for vacation for half a year.

Wang Wu immediately felt happy when he thought that there were other unlucky people who were more unlucky than himself.

Then he flew to the town called Abak. In the past year, Wang Wu had forgotten how many times he had flown over this town. Anyway, every time he came, Wang Wu would order the Maxim heavy machine guns on both sides of the airship to fire a wave of fire as a souvenir.

Under the constant care of Wang Wu and his comrades, the town that the airship often visited has now become very deserted. There are empty houses everywhere, and the pedestrians on the street are like rabbits, always paying attention to whether there are any scary things in the sky.

The airship appears.

As long as they see the airship, they will find a place to hide. And beg the true God to never let any bullets fall on them.

Facing the Maxim heavy machine gun, hiding anywhere makes no difference. When bullets fall from the sky, the mats and mud roof will be torn into pieces like paper.

There were not many people down there today. As before, Wang Wu was going to lower his height and shoot in a circle as a souvenir. This was a routine operation and everyone was used to it. The two airships behind him moved faster than Wang Wu.

As we were lowering the height, suddenly countless flames burst out in the town. Before we could realize it, black smoke appeared in the surrounding sky.

"Dang!" The windshield next to Wang Wu was hit by shrapnel. Wang Wu felt a chill on his face and reached out to touch a hand of blood.

"Fuck! Climb up! Climb up! What the hell is this thing?" Wang Wu shouted at the top of his lungs.

When he looked back, Wang Wu's face immediately turned pale.

The two airships that had descended earlier than him were both emitting thick smoke. You could see with the naked eye that the airship's skin was burning. From Wang Wu's position, you could clearly see the circles of the airship's airbag skeleton.

The two airships fell like tops! When Wang Wu climbed back to an altitude of four thousand meters, the two airships had already fallen to the ground.

Two huge explosions shook the airship pod. When I looked down, I saw two plumes of smoke rising into the sky. The bombs mounted on the airship must have exploded. Don't even think about it.

There can be no living people. Not to mention survivors, there may not even be bones left.

"Drop the bomb! Drop the bomb!" Wang Wu shouted loudly.

"What to blow up?" The bombardier under his command was a little confused. There was nothing to blow up down there.

"No matter what the hell you blew up, just throw the bomb away." Wang Wu was so angry that he kicked the heavyweight as hard as he could. The bomb was so heavy. How the hell could he escape if he didn't throw the bomb down.

The bombardier hurriedly dropped the bomb. As for whether it would hit people when dropped below, that was not within his scope of consideration.

The huge bomb left the magazine, and everyone felt that the airship was light. Wang Wu personally steered the rudder and began to turn the rudder and return home.

The turning of an airship, especially such a 180-degree turn, requires a very large turning radius. While Wang Wu was turning, he suddenly saw an... no, two airships appearing in the sky.

Two airships, one on the left and one on the right, flew towards Wang Wu.

"Which part of the airship is this? Our airship can't return now!" Wang Wu muttered in confusion, and picked up the telescope to see which part this was.

"Fuck! This is not our airship." Using the telescope, Wang Wu saw a guy in the opposite pod looking at him with a telescope. The guy had a turban on his head and a long beard on his face.

"Do the Indians have airships?" No one could answer Wang Wu's question. Wang Wu could only order to speed up and try to get rid of the opponent's pursuit. However, this was probably in vain. The Indian airship seemed to be stronger than his own.

quick.

"Ta-ta-ta...! Ta-ta-ta...!" The sound of machine gun fire was heard from both sides at the same time. The glass of Wang Wu's pod was shattered into pieces. Several crew members began to bleed!

"Fight back! Fight back!" Wang Wu ignored the bombardier who was covering his neck with blood. He ran to the machine gun, held the machine gun and started shooting. At the same time, the machine gun on the other side of the airship also started shooting.

The targets of the airships in the sky were so big that it was difficult to miss them. The machine guns on both sides kept firing, and the three airships emitted thick smoke almost at the same time.

At this time, the benefits of ammunition are shown. The Ming airship is equipped with incendiary bombs. The purpose is to kill the enemy and ignite the enemy's houses during strafing.

Facts have proved that incendiary bombs are a fatal nemesis against the skin of the airship. After the Indian airship was hit by the incendiary bomb, the skin burned violently. The two airships began to fall with black smoke, and Wang Wu's airship was also falling.

The only difference is that Wang Wu's airship fell slower, while the Indian's airship fell faster.

"Inflate! Inflate!" Wang Wu shouted to his men. He stuck his head out and did not see black smoke coming from his airship. This meant that the skin of his airship was not burning.

If it was just a few holes made by bullets, it should be possible to fly back now. Now Wang Wu was very lucky that he immediately ordered those heavy bombs to be thrown away.

The floor of the gondola was a little slippery and was covered in the blood of the casualty and crew members. But no one cared about this at this time. Fortunately, the chief engineer was fine. The gondola was spraying flames, constantly replenishing the air bag with heat.

Although the airship has lost a lot of height, it can still float in the air.

"Get the fuck out of here, if you still want to go back to see your parents alive, then get up and steer the helm." Wang Wu severely kicked the helmsman, who was holding his head and crying on the ground.

Due to Wang Wu's ferocity, the helmsman had to get up, hold the steering wheel tightly with both hands and return home.

The airship swayed and struggled, and there was always the sound of gunfire coming from the ground. Wang Wu took a look at the height, and it was two thousand meters! He breathed a sigh of relief, as the firepower on the ground could not hit him.

Wu Sangui looked at the two huge pits in front of him. If the corners of his mouth were not blocked by his ears, they could reach the back of his head.

Unexpectedly! Unexpectedly! The Ming airship was also shot down one day. Dr. Newton really did not lie. He said that it would take half a year to improve the launch rocket, which is half a year. Now, the Ming airship has finally been restricted and can no longer fly in India.

Indiscriminate bombing.

"Dr. Newton is indeed amazing." Wu Sangui said with rare joy.

"Haha! That's not what you said when people applied for research funds a few days ago. You said that they only waste money and can't produce anything useful." George looked at Wu Sangui and said teasingly.

"Stop making sarcastic remarks, it's all my fault. From now on, even if I don't eat, I still have to allocate full funding for scientific research." Wu Sangui was naturally overjoyed when he saw the research and development results.

"But we were still shot down by two airships. I heard that one of them shot down two of ours directly." Dorgon looked at the huge crater and said slowly.

Wu Sangui's face turned dark immediately. After all, the best way to deal with airships is airships. But one airship killed two of his own, and the other airship was only damaged. It is said that it flew back to Colombo. This made Wu Sangui

I feel like my face is very dull!

Suppressing his anger, Wu Sangui wanted to chop up this bastard and feed it to the dogs if Dorgon wasn't really talented.

"Then what do you think we should do?" George looked at Dorgon's face and turned back to ask Dorgon.

"The simplest way is to improve the ammunition and increase the caliber of the gun barrel on the airship. The larger the caliber, the thicker the shell, the farther it will hit, and the greater the power. I heard that Ming Dynasty has a kind of instant fuze, as long as it comes into contact

Things will explode. If this can be used, then the Ming airship will never dare to act recklessly on our heads again."

When Dorgon spoke, he seemed confident.

Wu Sangui and George looked at each other. As expected, Dorgon had a lot of tricks up his sleeve and solved the problem in just a few words. I have to say that this was indeed a good idea.

"Approval a fund for Mr. Newton to specialize in the research of large-caliber machine guns and corresponding ammunition." Wu Sangui immediately made the decision. The good idea should be implemented immediately.

"Also! If we can really solve the problem of Ming Dynasty airship harassment, then we need to think about building a railway. Transporting troops or supplies from Bombay to the front line is too long and the loss is too great. If there can be a direct railway, supplies can

The problem will be much easier to solve.”

"Well! That's a good suggestion, now...!" Wu Sangui's eyes lit up. In the past, it was because of the Ming Dynasty's constant bombing that the entire east coast of India could not build railways.

Now that the bombing problem has been solved, the railway can naturally be built.

"The issue of railway construction is very complicated and cannot be discussed clearly here." George said coldly.

He understands India better than Wu Sangui. If he wants to build a railway, he must acquire land. With India's current financial situation, there is definitely no compensation.

In India, many things are difficult to talk about. The land issue is the most difficult to talk about. Seizing other people's land without giving them any compensation. Ordinary people are easy to bully, but the small lords of those states are not.

Very easy to bully.

If you really offend these people, it may not end well. Especially in recent years, in order to expand military power to fight against the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui distributed a lot of guns and ammunition to the small lords of these countries on the east coast. It was really urgent.

The little lords with guns in their hands can do anything.

The country of India has never been unified in history, and the British are helping to unify the country today. The lords of various states still have great influence on their own territories. To be precise, whether it is the British or Wu Sangui,

Never really controlled India.

Those who really control India are actually the large and small lords in these states.

"Oh! Yes, let's find a time to discuss this matter." Wu Sangui was still very excited after taking a look at the big pit where the airship fell.

After so many years of being annoyed by airships, it is indeed exciting to finally have the opportunity to take down these big guys.

Ceylon! Colombo!

"You said the Indians shot them down with rockets?" Li Hu looked at Wang Wu in disbelief.

Can rockets hit airships? It's not like I haven't encountered them before, but when a gust of wind blows down from a high altitude, those rockets will be blown to pieces. The higher the altitude, the stronger the wind. Li Hu still knows this truth.

"Yes! I saw it with my own eyes. On the way back, we also encountered Indian airships. I worked with my men to shoot them down, and our airship was also injured. If we hadn't brought enough fuel when we came out, we would have said

Maybe I won’t be able to come back after I’m dismissed.”

"The Indians also have fucking airships?" Li Hu was a little surprised. He didn't expect the Indians to develop so fast and actually develop airships and improved anti-aircraft rockets in such a short period of time.
