Chapter 917 Wolves in the Sky (First update, please subscribe)
The sudden airship brings death!

The moment the cluster bombs were dropped, the road was completely covered in gunpowder smoke. In the billowing black smoke, the soldiers who were marching on the ground fell into a steel purgatory.

Shrapnel flew, flames rose, human bodies were thrown into the air like rag dolls, and were torn into pieces. Every explosion seemed like a giant was picking up those poor people, tearing their limbs apart...

All of this was invisible to the people on the airship. As a military reporter, Wang Tengfei used a telescope to observe the situation on the ground as much as possible.

What's the situation on the ground?

There is a mess everywhere, the bombed artillery carts and carriages are scattered everywhere, the corpses of people and horses are everywhere, in the black gunpowder smoke, there is red everywhere - red blood, red earth, and more What makes people unforgettable is those people who are struggling and twisting in blood.

"Oh my God……"

He closed his eyes nervously, and Wang Tengfei only felt a little palpitation in his heart. He had imagined war, but he never imagined that war would be like this.

This is no war at all.War is supposed to be the kind where you come and go.It should be the kind of passionate charge, it should be... It should be the brave warriors fighting with blood and life.

But now?
What was presented before his eyes was a completely different war.

The air force of Daming, which has air superiority, is like a god of death, quietly flying over the heads of the Brazilian army, and then quietly throwing bombs in their queues. Those people didn't even know about these airships when they died How did you fly here?
This is exactly the new tactic "Silent Attack" that Daming's floating troops have studied in the past few years. This tactic makes full use of the advantages of the airship, using natural airflow to propel the airship to contact the enemy, approaching the enemy silently, and then bomb.

And then... Victory!
Wang Tengfei didn't know that this kind of "silent attack" has always been the pursuit of major powers in another world.And in this era, Ming Dynasty realized the attack method that all countries dreamed of in advance.

During an air bombing carried out by the floating troops, Wang Tengfei returned with the airship. Soon, his article "A Good Attacker Moves Above the Nine Heavens" was published in "Da Ming Daily". The exaggerated text description not only set off an airship boom in Ming Dynasty, but also let the whole world see the powerful combat effectiveness of airships.

Of course, what shocked the world even more?
Naturally, it was Daming's flexible and changeable tactics, from "silent attack" to "air alert", the flexible tactics allowed Daming's floating troops to fully demonstrate what it means to be "a good attacker moves above the nine heavens".

When the militaries of the world were surprised, they imitated the Ming military through limited information, learning how to use their air fleet, turning the sky into a blue ocean, and wantonly attacking the Brazilian army.

Almost overnight, the voices of people all over the world who doubted the airship disappeared.After all, now Airship has proved himself with his amazing record!

As the instigator of everything, Emperor Zhu is also paying attention to the performance of airships on the battlefield. Although airships are a weapon that is destined to be eliminated, Emperor Zhu was still shocked when he saw the report of the floating troops. .

"...under the attack of the safari troops, the Brazilian army is now in an unprecedented predicament. When their troops march, they always expose the marching columns, and then they are attacked by the safari troops. Every bombing will cause Casualties ranged from hundreds to thousands. This is because our troops hunting in the air basically fought on their own. There were only three airships, and the bombs were only ten tons. Nature is relatively limited!"

Hearing Li Du, the Viscount of Versailles of Ming Dynasty, say with some regrets, Emperor Zhu couldn't help grinning!
That's the limit...

Emperor Zhu even felt a little sympathetic to the Brazilian army suffering from this kind of dimensionality reduction blow. After all, for the army of this era, they simply have no way to resist the blow from the air.

This is simply a one-sided massacre!
"Actually, this "safari tactic" can be improved!"

With a smug smile on his face, Emperor Zhu said.

"It is possible to equip the safari teams with radio stations. Make sure that each team has one. After discovering ground targets, do not rush to attack. The team will first contact the base camp, and then the base camp will mobilize several nearby safari teams through telegrams. The enemy strikes... well, it's wolf pack tactics!"

When mentioning "wolf pack tactics", Emperor Zhu's eyes lit up. Isn't this the "wolf pack tactics" in the air!

"Wolf pack tactics?"

"Yes, it's wolf pack tactics. What's our current strategy? It's basically an airship team fighting alone with several airships, but if..."

Emperor Zhu took out a piece of paper and drew a few squares.

"What we are implementing now is this kind of layout of individual battles. If team A finds the target in their patrol area, and then the base camp orders the safari teams in the front, rear, left, and right areas adjacent to it to form a formation to attack in a unified manner, then There were at least fifteen airships attacking at the same time, fifteen of them... That's forty or fifty tons of bombs! So many bombs are enough to severely damage the enemy army of a division!"

This is almost the so-called "wolf pack tactics". During World War II, the German submarine force sent a large number of submarines to cruise in the Atlantic Ocean. After a submarine found a target, it began to track and call for the support of submarines in nearby sea areas to gather, and then these submarines formed small groups. Detachments, like wolves, take turns launching underwater attacks on enemy warships and transport ships.

Daming's airship troops can also use the same tactics!
"Your Majesty, the radio station...that is top secret!"

Li Du looked at His Majesty in surprise.

The radio station has been the top secret of the Ming Dynasty since it was invented until now. Even now, only capital ships and a few cruisers are equipped with radio stations. It is indeed a bit unexpected to use this country's sharp weapon on the airship.

"It's a top secret, but you can't just throw away the multiplier of combat power just because it's a top secret. It's a bad thought..."

After thinking about it, Emperor Zhu continued.

"Just do a good job of keeping it secret. If there is an accident, the radio operator can destroy the radio station immediately. Isn't that what the navy does? If the navy can do it, so can the floating troops."

Emperor Zhu made the decision with one sentence...to equip Daming's floating troops with radio stations!
