The end of the military era
Page 268
Zhou Rui, who has lived in another time and space for six years, knows that in future naval battles, the aircraft carrier is the real overlord of the sea. At that time, all main gun battleships and battlecruisers will face the fate of being eliminated.
It is a pity that with the current aviation technology, it is still too early for Zhou Rui to develop an aircraft carrier. For a long time to come, the protagonists of naval battles will still be battleships and battlecruisers with full main guns.
Because the armor of battlecruisers is thinner than that of battleships with full main guns, they suffer a bit in the duel with battleships with full main guns. This can be fully reflected in the battle of Longjing Island.
But it is undeniable that the tactical and strategic value brought by the high speed of the battlecruiser must not be ignored.
The Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet is already preparing to dispatch a squadron mainly composed of battlecruisers to the coasts of the orc countries in the Western Continent to carry out destructive battles.
So Zhou Rui is going to invest huge sums of money to build more battleships and battlecruisers with full main guns, and start a new shipbuilding competition with the six orc nations.
In launching this shipbuilding competition, Zhou Rui also has a deeper purpose, which is to use the shipbuilding competition to increase the financial deficit of the six orc nations.
Now the various feudal towns affiliated to the Zhou family have experienced rapid economic development, which has led to a steady increase in the fiscal revenue of the southwestern tutelary government.
Zhou Rui's private income is much higher than the financial income of the Southwest Tutorial Office because of Zhou Rui's holdings in many oil fields, mines, and many other industries, such as Zhou's Bank.
In addition, Zhou Rui can also get a lot of gold bricks and silver bricks from the lottery system, which gives Zhou Rui the confidence to start this shipbuilding competition with the six orc nations at the same time with his own strength.
When Zhou Rui was discussing with Kang Huai, the person in charge of the Zhou family's industry, about building more 5-ton docks, Zhou Xiaorong walked in with a telegram.
"Commander, Xiang Tao has sent a secret message, planning to launch an attack on the provinces of Kunclair and New Constance of the Bull Empire at the same time in the morning of the day after tomorrow!"
At present, the army of the Zhou family has spent a lot of manpower and material resources in the border area where Jingzhou Town, Yuzhou Town, Lanzhou Town and the Silver Wolf Empire meet, using the complex terrain to build three fortifications, forming a comparative A complete border defense line can also be called the northern line.
In the border area between Weizhou Town, Kezhou Town and the Manniu Empire, Zhou's army also built a fortification, which can be called the southern line.
However, the fortification built on the southern line is more to confuse the bull empire.
The border areas between Weizhou Town, Kezhou Town and the Manniu Empire are mostly plains, which are not easy to defend when attacking. Therefore, after discussing with Zhou Rui, Xiang Tao and Zhou Rui decided to launch an active attack on the southern line, and focus on defense on the northern line.
According to the geographical location of the six orc nations in the western continent, the southern line will face the barbarian army and the red tiger army, and the northern line will face the silver wolf army, golden lion army, black bear army and flying leopard army.
The pressure on the northern line will be even greater. Both Zhou Rui and Xiang Tao hope to use the fortifications on the northern line to resist the coalition forces of the four orc nations, while the southern line will use offense instead of defense.
"Second Uncle, has the Red Tiger Army entered the territory of the Manniu Empire?" Zhou Rui asked Zhou Xiaorong in a deep voice.
Zhou Xiaorong shook his head, "Xiang Tao specifically said in the telegram that the Red Tiger Army has not yet entered the territory of the Bull Empire."
"Call Xiang Tao back and agree to his attack plan!
Remind him that once our army invades the provinces of Kunclair and New Constance of the Bull Empire, the Red Tiger Army may soon appear on the battlefields of Kunclair and New Constance superior.
In addition, the control of the sea is now on the side of the six orc nations, and perhaps the armies of the four orc nations to the north can also join the battlefields of Kunclair Province and New Constance Province by sea. "
At around 1545 o'clock in the morning on June 6, 22, in Weizhou Township, a field airport near the border defense line.
Wei Dacheng, head of the Zhou family's 17th Air Force Regiment, said loudly to hundreds of crew members: "Brothers, today is the first time our Zhou family air force has shown its face!
I won’t say more about the extra words, I hope all the brothers can return safely!board the plane! "
Originally, Ganyang Aircraft Factory had already designed a biplane fighter with good performance based on the design drawings provided by Zhou Rui.
But before Ganyang Aircraft Factory started to mass-produce this biplane fighter, Zhou Rui offered a fighter and a heavy bomber in the lottery system.
The fighter is a British Camel fighter during the First World War. Its length is 572 meters, its height is 259 meters, its maximum level flight speed is 185 kilometers per hour, its maximum ceiling is 5800 meters, its battery life is 25 hours, and it is equipped with 2 machine guns. A 455 kg aerial bomb is hung outside.
The heavy bomber is an Italian ca36 bomber during the First World War. It has three engines, a length of 1105 meters, a height of 37 meters, a maximum level flight speed of 137 kilometers per hour, and a maximum range of 599 kilometers. The crew is 4 people, equipped with 2 It has a machine gun and can carry a total of 800 kilograms of aerial bombs.
The various performances of the camel fighter are much better than the biplane fighter designed by Ganyang Aircraft Factory, so Ganyang Aircraft Factory, under the instruction of Zhou Rui, immediately began to imitate the British Camel fighter and the Italian ca36 bomber, especially the The engines of these two fighters.
So far, Zhou Rui has awarded a total of 500 British Camel fighter jets and 300 Italian ca36 bombers from the lottery system. However, due to the successful imitation of these two fighter jets by the Ganyang Aircraft Factory, the newly established Zhou Family Air Force, Now it has more than [-] fighters.
This time, in order to stick to the five feudal towns in the Western Continent, the Zhou family sent more than half of their fighters to the Western Continent by transport ship.
The Zhou family’s air force currently has the largest organization as the air force regiment. Each air force regiment has three flying brigades. Each flying brigade is composed of three flying squadrons. Each flying squadron has 3 combat aircraft. The entire air force regiment has 3 Fighter.
The 17 fighters under the jurisdiction of the 108th Air Force Regiment are all Italian CA36 heavy bombers.
6月22日的早上6点左右,周家空军6个装备了骆驼战斗机的空军团,以及5个装备了ca36重型轰炸机的空军团,对蛮牛帝国昆克莱行省和新康斯澳行省边境的蛮牛军队突然发动了空袭。
"Boom-boom-"
Aerial bombs fell on the barracks camp, causing heavy casualties to the barbarian army.
"My God! What are those? How can those things fly in the sky?"
"Run! Those things in the sky can drop bombs down there!"
"Don't make a mess! Don't make a mess! Quickly, set up the anti-aircraft machine gun and shoot down all these flying things for me!"
The Golden Lion Empire and the Red Tiger Empire learned that the Zhou family had developed a fighter plane that could fly into the air, and immediately invested a lot of money to start developing the fighter plane.
Now the armies of the Golden Lion Empire and the Red Tiger Empire are already equipped with fighter planes that can be used for combat and reconnaissance, but the performance is still inferior to the camel fighter jets and ca36 heavy bombers equipped by the Zhou family air force.
The Barbarian Empire doesn't pay much attention to fighter planes, so many officers and soldiers of the Barbarian Army have never even heard of such things as planes.
So much so that this air strike on the Brute Bull army, in addition to causing a lot of casualties to the Brute Bull army, the fear of unknown things also caused great confusion in the Brute Bull army.
In order to recapture the New Wilk province occupied by the Zhou family before, that is, Weizhou Town and Kezhou Town, the Bull Empire has gathered in the border area of Quinclair Province and New Constance Province. 45 group armies, more than 100 independent divisions and more than 200 security brigades.
蛮牛帝国的每个集团军下辖4个步兵师、1个辎重旅、2个重炮团、1个警卫团,兵力大约为8万人,官兵全部是牛族人。
The independent division of the Manniu Empire has about 15 troops, with Niu people as officers and horse people as soldiers.
The security brigade of the Bull Empire is composed of horsemen as officers and humans as soldiers, with a strength of about 5000 people.
Calculated in this way, the barbarian army has assembled more than 600 million troops in the border area, and according to the troop dispatch agreement signed by the six orc countries, the Red Tiger Empire will send 500 million troops into the territory of the barbarian empire to fight with the barbarian army. Let's attack New Wilk province together.
As the air strikes by 11 air regiments began, Xiang Tao ordered 5 guard divisions, 100 infantry divisions, and more than 500 garrison regiments to attack the border areas of the province of Kunclair and New Constance of the Buffalo Empire. All-out attack.
At this time, the Jingzhou Army, Yuzhou Army, Lanzhou Army, Weizhou Army, and Kezhou Army each had only one guard division, and each guard division had thousands of tanks.
For this attack on the Manniu Empire, Xiang Tao transferred all five guard divisions to the southern front.
The 100 infantry divisions were mainly drawn from the Weizhou Army and the Kezhou Army, and only 26 infantry divisions were drawn from the Jingzhou Army, Yuzhou Army, and Lanzhou Army.
The more than 500 garrison regiments participating in the attack were completely drawn from the territory of Weizhou Town and Kezhou Town.
Because it was wartime, according to the rules of the Zhou family, the establishment of each garrison regiment of the army was expanded to more than 3000 people.
Xiang Tao's deception tactics were very successful. The Bull Empire never expected that the Zhou family's army would take the initiative to attack and invade the provinces of Kunclair and New Constance.
Coupled with the help of the Zhou family's air force, the battle has entered the rhythm of the Zhou family's army from the very beginning. The bull army in the border area between Kunclair Province and New Constance's Australia Province was directly beaten. rout.
In the Governor's Mansion in Detrika City, the second capital of the Bull Empire, Governor Trofe slammed his fist on the desk, "Waste! It's all waste!
More than 600 million troops, even without holding on for a day, were completely defeated!
