In the old capital, the original palace looked a little dilapidated. No one had maintained or repaired it for a long time, and there were signs of damage everywhere.
Previously, this place was attacked by missiles from the Tang Empire, which destroyed a building. Zhao Kai then became seriously ill and had no time to repair it. Later, when Zhao Yu came to power, he really had no money to manage the palace.
Until Qin came over, most places here still maintained the same state as when Zhao Kai died. In some places, there were even only a few old attendants and maids barely maintaining it.
Now, it has become an important command base for the Qin Army, with a large number of radio stations deployed, and a large number of anti-aircraft firepower points built in the open space of the palace garden.
Because it is so big, a large number of soldiers can be deployed, and safety is guaranteed. In addition, there are a large number of underground fortifications built during the Zhao Kai period. Their existence provided a certain level of security for senior officers of the Qin Army.
safety bunker.
Liu Zhi'an placed his headquarters here. His underground office was not Zhao Kai's ward, because he more or less wanted to avoid suspicion and use the emperor's dormitory at will. For the generals of the feudal dynasty, it was still a good idea to lead the generals.
There are some taboos.
As time goes by, this war has begun to enter the second stage. The scale of the war has completely expanded, the number of troops participating in the war has begun to increase, and the brutality of the battle has also increased hundreds or thousands of times.
The previous rapid advance and outing-style mobile warfare were over, replaced by a real contest between the two armies.
In the sky, two Thunderbolt attack aircraft from the Tang Dynasty roared past the old capital, and they hovered over the Qin army as if they were in an uninhabited land.
There is nothing that can be done about this. After all, a large number of the Qin army's anti-aircraft weapons have been abandoned on the way back. Now Liu Zhian's troops don't have many anti-aircraft guns in their hands.
Dahua was not equipped with many anti-aircraft guns before, because Zhao Yu's troops had air control. Their fighter jets were more advanced, their pilots were more skilled, and they were more experienced. Therefore, they were able to control the air and bomb Zhao Jie and Zhao Ji from time to time.
As a result, it was now a war between Qin and Tang, and the shortcoming of Dahua's ground troops being rarely equipped with anti-aircraft weapons was infinitely magnified.
Liu Zhian was able to find tanks, cannons, and all kinds of cars and armored vehicles in the weapons arsenal of the Chinese Army, but he could not find anti-aircraft guns.
It's not that there aren't any. In fact, there are some, but only in small numbers. And these sparse anti-aircraft weapons can't threaten the Tang Army's thunder and lightning attack aircraft at all.
"General! The 510th Division has lost its position... The Tang Army's attack was so fierce that our troops could not withstand it." The adjutant walked up behind Liu Zhian and reported to him about the loss of the position just now.
"As expected, the Tang Army cleared mines faster than I expected, so it is inevitable that they will lose their position. But it doesn't matter, the Tang Army captured their position, and a salient appeared... As long as we surround this
If the protrusion makes a fuss, the Tang army will be contained." Liu Zhian said calmly.
He put his hands behind his back and looked at the clear sky through the gaps in the bunker's firing holes, looking at the two Thunder attack aircraft hovering over the city.
"It would be great if we also had such a powerful aircraft." Yesterday, Liu Zhian saw with his own eyes the scene of a Thunder attack aircraft using its cannon to straf the ground. The scene was indeed unforgettable.
Compared with those attack aircraft in the past, the Thunderbolt's attack power is too strong, and the impact it brings to ground troops is even worse than that of the Stuka.
The shock caused by the 30mm caliber rotary cannon strafing during the dive made Li Zhian envious. If he had such aircraft support above his head, he would even dare to launch a counterattack against the Tang army.
You must know that the reason why the Tang Army's ground forces are so strong is simply that a large number of tanks and armored vehicles form a torrent of steel, which can defeat any enemy. If the Qin Army has thunder and lightning attack aircraft, it can naturally harvest the ground easily and prevent the Tang Army's torrent of steel from advancing.
.
After sighing with emotion, the Qin Army general continued to ask: "How is the Air Force doing? No matter how great the losses are, you must persist and support us, right?"
As a general of the Qin Army, Liu Zhian was very dissatisfied with the performance of the Qin Air Force. The opponent almost suffered from Tangphobia, seeing Tang planes flying faster than rabbits.
It's not that Liu Zhian looks down on the Air Force. If fighting like this is acceptable, then the word deserter doesn't exist in the world!
In the past few dozen days, the Qin Air Force had done almost nothing except withdrawing its aircraft from the airport near Dongqing.
Along the way, they abandoned field airfields in Fengping, Shanchong and other areas, and rescued ground crews and pilots. However, this was all a runaway operation, which doesn't sound good to say.
In addition, the Qin Air Force lost more than 500 aircraft, including dozens of Type 47 transport aircraft, dozens of Stukas, and dozens of Type 183 jet fighters.
The remaining nearly 300 aircraft were all P-36 and P-40 fighter jets. Most of these propeller fighters were destroyed on the ground by the Tang Army's air strikes.
Facing the Tang Empire's air force, the Qin army pilots almost did not dare to take off to fight. Most of the aircraft were destroyed on the ground, and very few fighter jets took off to fight.
Under such circumstances, it was natural for the Qin Army to lose air supremacy on the battlefield. The sky was full of Tang Army aircraft, and it was natural that the Qin Army's ground troops were miserable.
"General... the Air Force said that their jet fighters suffered heavy losses and they need time to readjust their tactics. There is no way to continue participating in the war in a short time." The adjutant explained to Liu Zhian helplessly.
Liu Zhian sneered. Although as a traditional general, he was used to solving problems on his own, he was still a little dissatisfied when friendly forces could not help him at critical moments.
He has already risked his life to fight for the future of the empire, but those idiots in the Air Force still care about his own life and death... What a bunch of short-sighted idiots.
"Then let them continue to hide behind! I'll see where they can hide when they get outside Wuyang City!" Liu Zhian said this, and then stopped talking.
Because the two Thunder attack aircraft had already flown back, the engine noise was quite noisy, swallowing up many small sounds.
On this day, the forward troops of the Tang Army easily penetrated the first line of defense of the Qin Army, and the battle between the two armies continued.
