Chapter 287 Falling from the Sky (First update, please subscribe)
The grass swayed gently with the cool morning breeze. On the open grassland, a towering iron tower was tied to an airship. The airship was more than [-] meters long, and it looked very spectacular.

Under the mooring tower, in the shadow of the airship, several officers and non-commissioned officers in black uniforms were surrounding and calculating something.

"After arriving at the destination in a while, monkey, you will be responsible for aiming and dropping the bomb."

"aim……"

Monkey grinned.

"Throwing bombs from the sky to the ground, what a way to throw them!"

"That's right, if you still have this aiming, you're blind!"

"Try it first. In fact, bombing is a matter of mathematics. You just need to calculate it..."

Before Wang Xinyue finished speaking, Ma Guangming laughed.

"Captain, look at what you said, our math is so-so, we really can't figure it out."

"That's simple, just design a tool later, well, let's not talk about this, let's test it!"

With a wave of Wang Xinyue's hand, the five crew members boarded the high tower with him, and then entered the airship. After they boarded the ship, they moved the shells into the cabin of the airship by cart.

"A total of forty rounds of 150mm shells, please count them!"

The 150mm artillery shell is a mortar shell. This shell with a tail weighs 35 kilograms and is extremely powerful. 40 shells are neatly placed in the cabin.After counting the shells, Ma Guangming closed the hatch.

A few minutes later, the airship that broke away from the mooring tower slowly lifted into the air. Amid the roar of the propeller, the airship flew slowly and kept climbing towards the sky. Sitting in the rudder cabin, Wang Xinyue saw that the houses in his sight became more come smaller.

"Two hundred meters!"

As time continued, it took almost ten minutes for the airship to finally rise to an altitude of 1500 meters.

After rising to this high altitude, Wang Xinyue turned and reset the rudder wheel that controls the lift, and then said to the first officer Ma Guangming next to him.

"Keep this altitude, I will confirm the target course."

After all, he stood by the side of the cabin and picked up the sextant to measure the latitude. In fact, as the captain, Wang Xinyue originally wanted to be a captain—the kind of ship at sea, but his results were not satisfactory. It was a coincidence However, I became the captain of the airship. The reason why I chose the captain from the seamen is because the flight positioning in the air requires the use of nautical knowledge, such as measuring longitude with a clock and measuring latitude with a sextant. In the age of technology, the application of nautical knowledge is the easiest way.

After quickly completing the position measurement, Wang Xinyue drew the route on the map, and immediately reported the new position to the deputy captain, and then the two of them adjusted the sailing with the rudder wheel that manipulated the rope, sailing at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour. The airship flew in the air like this, and after five hours, the airship finally flew over the destination.

"Target found!"

After Ma Guangming found a huge white cross on the ground, he pointed to the target and said.

"20 degrees to the front right!"

While adjusting the course, the airship slowly descended to 800 meters!
As the target approached, the monkey in the cabin looked at the mark thrown out with lime on the ground, rolled a cannonball from the side, pulled out the safety catch, and threw it out directly from the hatch. The cannonball was drawn directly into a black spot.

Then, he dropped another one. As for whether he can hit the target, it basically depends on luck...

luck.

In fact, Li Ziyue has always felt that his luck is very good. Seven years ago, he still ate and played with mud in his old home.But one day, someone came and no one came.

The man brought a letter from the third uncle, and several hundred taels of silver, which was for his father to buy land and build a house.Then when his father was excited, he asked him to follow the man to the third uncle.

Then again?

In the past seven years, he has been by his third uncle's side.Learn to do things while reading.Later, he joined the guard on the island and became an officer of the guard. After arriving in Nanhua, although he was still an officer, he could feel the contempt of his colleagues.

In the eyes of many people, he is just an officer who became an officer by virtue of his connections.

Guard officer?Have you ever attended a martial arts school?

What kind of training did you receive?In short, colleagues have various opinions on him.In order to prove his ability, he is very strict about the training of the troops, and he will personally lead the troops to train every morning.

"Chirp..."

The sound in the air made Li Ziyue feel a little confused. He has just joined the company, and today's training task is very simple. It is to lead his infantry company on the grassland to conduct maneuvers. Basic infantry tactical training.

"Commander, what's that sound?"

Li Chuanlin looked up to the sky, what kind of voice is this?
There is nothing in the sky, but where does the voice from the sky come from?

The voice became more and more sharp, and suddenly Li Ziyue felt an ominous premonition in Yongqi's heart.he shouted.

"Quick, lie down!"

The moment his shout fell, explosions sounded around them, and the explosions exploded around them one after another, one after another, continuously rising smoke columns, like black mushrooms bursting suddenly Yes, one after another rose on the earth...

The ground was trembling, and Li Ziyue and the soldiers lying on the grassland were dumbfounded. They didn't know where the shells came from, and even if they used their imaginations, they couldn't imagine that the shells came from the sky. Of course, it must have come down from the sky, but they couldn't imagine that it was a bomb dropped from an airship in the sky.

The airship in the air dropped bombs while adjusting its course, trying to drop the bombs more accurately, but the result was very disappointing. The bombs that fell from the sky were not accurate at all, just like a goddess scattered flowers, falling on the target Yes, but more of them were thrown around the target. There was no way to do this. After all, without a special sight, it was God's blessing to be able to throw it like this.

Of course, if the target is big enough, such as a city, then there is no need to consider whether it is accurate or not, just throw it away.When the monkeys dropped the bomb, Ma Guangming did not forget to take a picture of this scene with a camera. This is the first air-dropped bomb in human history. Although primitive and simple, it has brought about a revolution, although no one knows the meaning of this revolution. But Ma Guangming clearly recorded this moment with the photos taken by Ma Guangming's Phoenix 100 35mm camera. Of course, it also recorded an astonishingly large deviation-a full several thousand meters.

They were at an altitude of a thousand meters, and they had no idea what kind of impact the bombs they dropped had on the infantry on the ground. It took about a minute, and after finally dropping forty bombs, the airship finally returned. .

As for the infantry on the ground, even though it had been nearly half an hour since the explosion, they were still lying on the grassland tremblingly, not even daring to move.

God knows if the shells will fall again.

"Anyone hurt!"

Li Ziyue, lying on the ground, shouted loudly.

"Squad leader three, pass it on one by one and ask them all."

"Yes!"

Si Dongjie responded loudly, and then the shouts on the grassland rang out one after another. After passing around, Li Ziyue finally heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no one was injured. If anyone was injured, he would probably become the target of all his colleagues. joke.

Looking at the earth-shattering explosion before, it was actually not far or close to them, a full [-] meters away. After another half an hour, after confirming that there would be no more explosions, when they stood up, they could clearly see the situation in front of them After that, I couldn't help being dumbfounded.

"My little girl is here..."

Everyone was dumbfounded - in front of them, there were bullet craters scattered on the grassland, and as long as they were a little bit off, the shells would fall on their heads.

"This, what the hell was that bastard grandson firing the cannon, no, I don't know if there is anyone here?"
