Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan thought: "If the Japanese put large-caliber heavy artillery on the car, and then put the car on the rails, wouldn't the transportation problem be solved!"

In Lin Yuan's era, rail guns were widely used during the First World War. Because the road could not bear the weight of the heavy guns, and because the mobility of the heavy guns was extremely poor, all countries put heavy guns on the rails. There is a roadbed made of sleepers and sand below, so it can bear the weight, and it is driven by a locomotive, so it can maneuver quickly.

In the First World War without long-range bombers and missiles, rail guns became the only weapon used by various countries to attack the enemy in depth. Britain, Germany and France all developed their own rail guns, the most famous of which was developed by Germany. , the "Paris Cannon" with a range of up to 130 kilometers, this kind of gun can pass over the heads of the French army and blow directly to Paris.

However, due to the long range and no automatic navigation device, the deviation of this heavy artillery is extremely large, so the shells fired by the Paris cannons seldom hit Paris accurately. The bombardment of a "famous in history" cannon.

Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't speak, Liu Biao panicked for a moment, thinking: "Is there something Lin Shuai doesn't know?" Liu Biao quickly asked: "Lin Shuai, what should we do?"

Lin Yuan said: "Go ahead, this is a new type of weapon of the Japanese army, but don't worry, I have already thought of a way to solve it, let the distance between the teams be increased by another 100 meters! Proceed at the original speed." Lin Yuan Doing so was actually hitting the dead spot of the Japanese rail gun. He knew that the accuracy of this long-range artillery must be very poor, so he ordered the distance between the various ministries to be increased to effectively avoid casualties.

What Lin Yuan didn't expect was that a shell landed at the front of his troops. From a distance, he saw a dozen soldiers being pushed into the air by the shock wave generated by the explosion. There was chaos in front of the team. Lin Yuan and Liu Biao hurriedly Hurry up and rush over.

The shells landed less than 200 meters away from the team, and the team was full of blood and broken flesh. Since the explosion site was at the front of the team, the whole team stopped.

Liu Biao shouted at the captain: "How is it? How many brothers were injured?"

But there was no answer from the team, Liu Biao shouted again, and a whistle chief stood up, with tears in his eyes, and said: "The captain was killed, eleven brothers were killed and seventeen were injured.

Seeing the fear on everyone's faces, Lin Yuan stepped forward and said, "Don't panic, everyone. These shells are nothing more than tricks, and they are nothing to this commander. Don't stop, everyone, keep going!"

When everyone heard Lin Yuan say this, their panic was slightly reduced, and they continued to march. Lin Yuan knew that such a heavy artillery would take a long time to prepare after firing once, so even though the enemy's shells shot far, they could not achieve full firepower. Continuity, if the number of explosives it can deliver per unit time is calculated, such a heavy artillery may not be better than the [-]mm artillery previously equipped by the Japanese army.

If it was the Qing army before, it would have been scattered like birds and beasts if it was hit by such heavy artillery, but now Lin Yuan is in the team, so the soldiers of the Qing army seem to have taken reassurance. Everyone has this idea in their hearts: the Japanese Just like Sun Monkey, no matter how noisy he is, he can still run out of the palm of the Tathagata Buddha!

What the soldiers of the Qing army didn't know was that Lin Yuan also had a lot of doubts in his mind at this time, not only about the rail gun itself, but more about: what did the Japanese army use to calibrate the rail gun?

Now it seems that the observation post on the high ground east of Xiaowang Village that Fade Chen attacked was used for indirect aiming of these railguns, but hasn't Fade Chen destroyed the equipment of that observation station?

Lin Yuan planned to mobilize the drones on the Beijing ship to reconnaissance and locate the Japanese railgun, and then consider destroying it. At this moment, Chen Fei's voice came from the communicator: "I found that the Japanese army is at Zhangyi Station Railroad tracks have been built nearby, and there are huge gun carriages on the railroad tracks, and the caliber of the artillery is estimated to be more than [-]mm."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Looks like it's really a rail gun!" He asked, "Where are you now?"

Fade Chen replied: "I am about four kilometers away from the rail gun. I am on a high ground. From here, I can see that there are three rail guns. They have just completed a round of firing. Now the Japanese army is cleaning up the inside of the gun. The remaining gunpowder, and more than a dozen soldiers are carrying propellant bags, it seems that the second round of attack will be carried out in a while."

Lin Yuan asked again: "Can you hit it?"

Fade Chen replied: "I don't think it's possible. The Japanese army's defense within one kilometer is very tight, and my range cannot reach it."

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "All your missions must be based on ensuring your own safety. Since the enemy's defenses are tight, don't force yourself to attack."

Lin Yuan asked again: "Didn't you destroy the observation post in Xiaowang Village? How did the Japanese army correct their shooting at such a long distance?"

Fade Chen said with a smile: "I know that the small reconnaissance plane is a good friend of the artillery, maybe the Japanese have already invented the plane."

Lin Yuan's heart moved when he heard this, it's not impossible!This is the case with breakthroughs in engineering technology. Unlike breakthroughs in basic scientific theories, which require genius and outstanding ideas, such as quantum mechanics and relativity, many breakthroughs in engineering technology come naturally. Other fields have developed to a certain stage. An engineering technology will naturally appear, such as the aircraft, when the internal combustion engine, aerodynamics, etc. have accumulated to a certain level, even if there is no Wright Brothers, someone else will invent the aircraft!

And his own time travel just created an excellent opportunity for the breakthrough of engineering technology!In this era, everything needed for aircraft is already available. When the carrier-based aircraft on the Beijing ship soared in the sky, it has inspired countless engineers and scientists!

At this moment, the marching crowd could only hear exclamations. Lin Yuan looked up, and saw many soldiers stopped, looked up at the sky, and pointed with their fingers.

Lin Yuan looked towards the sky following everyone's eyes, and saw a floating dot in the sky. Gradually, the dot became clearer and clearer. Lin Yuan raised the telescope in his hand and saw a huge floating dot in the sky. On the cylinder, it is written in Chinese characters: Kill all the Chinese people!

Lin Yuan adjusted the binoculars downward, and saw a huge hanging basket hanging under the cylinder. There were people on it, but what those people were doing was too far away to see clearly.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan immediately understood how the Japanese corrected the artillery fire!

It turns out that the Japanese made an airship!

An airship is much simpler than an airplane. To put it bluntly, it has the same principle as a hot air balloon. A huge lightweight cylinder is filled with a gas that is less dense than air. Generally, hydrogen or helium is used. Helium in this era has not yet been discovered. , so it will not be produced in large quantities, so the Japanese should use hydrogen.

Seeing that it was an airship, Lin Yuan felt a little relieved, thinking that the Japanese made the plane!

Just when Lin Yuan was complacent, another bad situation happened.
