Chapter 86: The big knife cuts off the heads of the Japanese! (Please collect and read)

As the "Woo-Woo" siren sounded, a team of twenty-two Dajin Navy airborne swordsmen organized their teams and came out of the barracks one by one.

Due to accidents involving rifle barrels, rigging, and parachute ropes during previous airborne and rappelling training, the Daikin Navy airborne troops simply no longer equipped themselves with rifles, but replaced them with pistols, waist knives, and a few grenades.

The combination of the pistol uses a "big pistol" with a long magazine of twenty-four rounds, which looks a bit like a shell gun. This pistol is the equipment of the Ming Army cavalry and has great firepower when shooting at close range.

Fierce. But there is no way to attach a bayonet to the pistol, so the naval airborne troops are equipped with waist knives so that they can kill people.

So what appears now at the airship field at the Amu Darya Camp is a group of paratroopers wearing long robes, mandarin jackets, dog-skin hats, "shell guns" on their waists, and carrying large blades. They are also navy paratroopers!

Although it looks a bit strange - a group of paratroopers wearing "ancient costumes", is it not strange? However, these paratroopers in ancient costumes are still very well-trained. At the command of the officers leading the team, they ran into the field and quickly completed the team.

Then he completed the equipment inspection before boarding the boat very neatly, and finally boarded the boat one after another amidst the sound of counting. The whole process was without any delay. In less than ten minutes, all the more than 200 airborne weapons soldiers of the Daikin Navy completed the boarding.

.

At this time, the second round of sirens sounded again, which was the signal for the airship to take off!

The first boat to go up was the No. 2 boat, which was responsible for the piloting task. It was commanded by Zhuge Weidao's subordinate Ma Xuchen. Although Ma Xuchen had only played with hot air balloons earlier, he was trained in the navy after all and relied on a compass on the vast sea.

Navigation with sextant and other equipment is a basic skill. The No. 2 boat commanded by Ma Xuchen had previously teamed up with the No. 1 boat to explore the route and also visited the Khyber Pass.

The No. 3 boat carried by Zhuge Weidao, Li Kezhi, Yu Yang and Guan Tianpei was the second one to ascend to the sky. Li Kezhi was the captain, Yu Yang served as Zhuge Weidao's staff officer, and Guan Tianpei was the observer.

Zheng Guoxian and the observers sent by the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty took the No. 5 boat respectively, and the No. 6 boat rose into the air. Wu Sangui's big descendant, Wu Zhenzhen, boarded the No. 4 boat - this boat was the vanguard of the entire army!

As airships rose into the sky one after another, twelve airships painted in white and looked like clouds soon appeared in the sky above the Amu Darya River camp. These airships were propelled by propellers driven by gasoline engines.

Flying towards the vast mountains in the south.

"Boom boom boom"

The cabin of an airship flying high in the sky is very noisy. The sound of the motor, the sound of the propeller turning and the sound of the wind whistling in the high altitude merge into a thunderous noise.

However, this did not prevent Zhuge Weidao and Guan Tianpei from talking about this "printing operation" while looking at the scenery.

The cabin of the airship was very crowded. In addition to the ten crewmen operating the airship, there were more than 20 "yellow jacket paratroopers", but Zhuge Weidao and Guan Tianpei still got a separate small room at the rear of the cabin——

This is a lounge. The Feilong III airship was originally used to patrol the ocean. It has a large endurance and can fly for several days and nights. The crew must have a resting space so that they can take turns sleeping.

.

Now this space has become a single room for Zhuge Weidao and Guan Tianpei. The two of them just had a sumptuous "airship meal" here. There was a small table placed between the two camp beds and several other things.

An enamel plate and two pairs of chopsticks, with some leftover food on the plate.

Although the doors and windows of the lounge are closed tightly, the temperature inside is still a bit low, it can be said to be bitingly cold. Zhuge Weidao and Guan Tianpei are now sitting on the camp bed, each holding a thick fur package in his hand.

The marching kettle was standing up, drinking soju to warm the body, and talking.

"Daozi, do you think King Pingxi can really capture the Peshawar Fortress with more than 200 people?" Guan Tianpei took a sip of soju and asked with a frown, "Are the British and foreigners in India really that unbearable?"

Guan Tianpei also traveled to Europe with Zhuge Weidao's father, Zhuge Youde, and boarded Earl Nelson's flagship as a liaison officer, and participated in several battles with the French Navy.

He was deeply impressed by the bravery and fearlessness of the British Royal Navy!

Of course, he was not "afraid of the British", but he felt that the surprise attack on Peshawar planned by Zhuge Weidao was too risky - using 245 airborne troops in yellow jackets to occupy Peshawar, which was defended by two regiments of British and Indian troops.

Wah, this is just crazy.

Even just capturing the Peshawar Fortress, which has relatively few defenders, is almost a gamble!

And if the operation fails, all these 200 people will be lost.

Even if the raid is successful, the British and Indian troops coming from all directions will surround Peshawar and the Jin army will not be able to get through at all. They can only transport reinforcements through airships. But these twelve or three airships failed once.

More than two hundred people.

And even if the weather conditions are good, the airship still has to spend time for maintenance, it also takes time to travel back and forth, and the crew still has to rest. It is good to run once every two days. How many people can it transport?

Zhuge Weidao also took a sip of soju and said with a smile: "Sir Guan, isn't this just gambling? Emperor Daoguang dared to gamble, King Pingxi dared to gamble. Doesn't this explain the problem? They know the British and Indian troops much better than we do.

. And even if they lose the bet, the Yingyi will know how powerful our airship is! As far as I know, the Yingyi warships have no weapons that can deal with airships, and there is nothing in their fortress that can hit high-altitude targets.

The artillery, at most, only has a few outdated balloon cannons. If the fleet parked in the port is attacked by hundreds of our airships, the whole army may be annihilated!"

Guan Tianpei frowned when he heard this and whispered: "If there are hundreds of airships landing 2,500 people at a time, wouldn't the Singapore Fortress be able to capture it? What a pity."

From his tone, it seems that the Naval Training Bureau has been formulating a plan to attack and capture the Singapore Fortress. However, it seems to be nothing to Zhuge Weidao, because it is impossible to start a war in recent years - before the Ming Dynasty Navy's shipbuilding plan is completed, it will not happen.

There is no way to fight. And by the time the Ming Navy completes its war preparations, it will probably be more than ten years later. Bi-wing "dive" bombers (not dive bombers, just dive bombers) have come out, who will still use airships? Besides, hydrogen

Airships are too dangerous and can be set off in just one shot. Helium airships are too expensive and difficult to obtain. Helium is heavier than hydrogen and must be built very large to provide sufficient lift.

Therefore, hydrogen airships are weapons equipped for the enemy, so now it is time to show their power to the British.

"Dong dong dong"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door of the lounge.

Zhuge Weidao and Guan Tianpei looked at each other, then put away the kettles and stood up. Zhuge Weidao reached out and opened the hatch, and standing outside was Yu Yang.

"Major, how are you doing?" Guan Tianpei asked.

Yu Yang saluted and said excitedly: "Sir Guan, you can already see the city of Peshawar!"

"Okay!" Guan Tianpei suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling of pleasure in his heart. He shouted "Okay" and quickly walked out of the cabin. Then he passed through two rows of Daikin Navy airborne troops sitting in the cabin and walked in.

The cockpit of the airship.

When the officers and airship sailors in the cockpit saw him coming in, they all gave him a military salute. The captain Li Kezhi immediately reported: "Sir, you can already see the city of Peshawar with your telescope. The weather conditions above Peshawar are good.

There are only a few floating clouds, the wind speed is three to four meters per second, and the wind direction is due east."

"What about the British?" Guan Tianpei asked, "What's the reaction?"

"There is no movement," Li Kezhi said. "Peshawar is very peaceful."

Guan Tianpei turned to look at Zhuge Weidao and found that this man was already observing the enemy's situation with a telescope. He also quickly walked to a window, raised his telescope and started to look into the distance. Soon he found a building located in a

A small gray-white town on the open plain. The small town looked very peaceful, without any signs of preparation for war.

"Daozi," Guan Tianpei said, "The surprise attack has been successful. Now it's time to see if King Ping Xi and the others are able to fight one against ten!"

Zhuge Weidao nodded, put down the telescope, and said to Li Kezhi next to him: "Give electricity to the Amu Darya camp. Use the broadsword to chop off the heads of the Japanese!"
