More than ten days were enough for the Tang Army to build a temporary airport, especially when there was enough cement and other building materials.
Xiao Yun watched the airport in front of him being built from scratch. Although it still looked very crude, it could already deploy some aircraft and perform some tasks.
This airport is used by Thunder attack aircraft. Compared with the more expensive Intruder attack aircraft, Thunder attack aircraft have slightly lower requirements for the airport.
Although this airport currently only has 30 Thunderbolts deployed, it will be able to meet the takeoff and landing requirements of hundreds of aircraft in the future. After all, the scale is here.
The entire airport was completed by dwarf workers and human engineers. The quality of the project is quite high, and the enthusiasm of the dwarves for their work is also increasing.
On the one hand, it is because the Tang people did not mistreat them, gave them enough wages, and ensured the safety of their lives and property - compared to some people, the Tang people's experience in this regard can be said to be quite sufficient.
These dwarves have all served the Datang Group, and they know the temperament of the Datang Group to a certain extent. As long as they work down-to-earth here, they will always have a happy future that meets their expectations.
The predecessor of the Tang State was the Datang Group. There were precedents for multi-racial cooperation here, and no one had the habit of treating aliens as enemies.
In the Tang Dynasty, the main theme was integration, exchange, and common development! These things may seem almost incomprehensible to other countries, but to the people of the Tang Dynasty, they were taken for granted.
Because they have blond and blue-eyed humans from Bunas, as well as countless black-haired and black-eyed humans on the Western Continent. They have high-ranking officials from dwarves and nobles from elves... In short, in the Tang Empire, your
Achievement has nothing to do with race.
Even the ugly orcs have their own place in this empire. Although most of them are still burdened with the status of slaves, no one is truly oppressed and persecuted because of this.
The atmosphere of the Tang Empire seemed to be inclusive of all kinds of things in any world. It was there gracefully and luxuriously, looking down on all living beings, proud and powerful.
Another aspect that made the dwarves do their best was because they witnessed the madness of their compatriots: the Tang army took a large amount of video data on the battlefield and gave them to the dwarves in the occupied areas.
When these civilians saw that their compatriots were used as cannon fodder, used as consumables, and consumed like livestock, they completely lost confidence in the Ice Empire.
No normal person would remain calm after seeing a compatriot who looked like a "zombie". The Tang people made it very clear about the side effects of black crow, and it was also true that this drug was explicitly banned in the Tang Empire.
Although there are still many dwarves who don't want to believe these things, there are also many dwarves who feel that they should do something to avoid greater tragedies from happening.
Since the Ice Empire is doomed to destruction, the continuation of the dwarf race should at least be guaranteed, right?
While Xiao Yun was looking at the construction team in the distance in a daze, a 130 transport plane slowly landed on the airport runway. For this airport, its size was a bit too huge.
It was a plane from the Tang Army that took off from the North Island base and flew directly across the ocean to transport ammunition. With the arrival of the plane, there may be some ground crew members arriving.
Maintaining a large-scale air force on the front line is not easy, and the more advanced the air force is, the more advanced the air force is. In order to meet the needs, an airport often needs hundreds of transport aircraft to transport enough personnel and materials before deploying dozens of aircraft.
to maintain the operation of the entire airport.
Logistics is still one of the most important links in modern warfare. In order to meet the combat needs of the front line, the Tang Army is frantically sending things produced by its terrifying production capacity to the front line.
The door at the tail of the aircraft slowly opened, and the loading and unloading personnel waiting on both sides of the runway rushed towards the aircraft whose propeller had just stopped turning.
On the fixed pallets one after another, there were staggered stacks of aviation rocket packaging boxes. Because there were so many low-value targets on the front line, the ammunition that the Tang Army consumed the most was small-caliber rockets.
There is no way. It is really a loss to use precision-guided weapons to hit armored targets that are inferior to the 59 main battle tank. Moreover, the number of enemies is huge, and it is really unaffordable to use precision weapons entirely.
Therefore, when the Tang Army carried out frontline ground attack missions, they preferred to carry rockets and use a salvo to eliminate densely packed targets on the ground.
This is a very efficient tactic, so the most urgently needed supplies for the Tang Air Force are these rockets with a caliber of about 90 mm to 130 mm.
Compared with large-caliber rocket artillery rockets, the Air Force's rockets have a shorter range due to their high-down firing method, so they are more powerful for the same caliber. In fact, earlier aerial bombs are more powerful than artillery shells for the same weight.
, after all, the weapons have different mechanisms, so the battlefield performance is also completely different.
With the support of Marshal Tiger, the supreme commander of the front line, the construction speed of this airport was very fast, even so fast that the dwarf workers who participated in the construction were astonished.
They never thought they could build an airport so quickly. It wasn't until they saw a Thunder attack plane landing on the runway they built that they dared to believe everything the Tang engineers told them.
"Now we have at least one more airport and can take off more aircraft." The air force commander who commanded the Thunder attack aircraft unit stationed at this airport said to Xiao Yun: "Today we took off more than 70 sorties and attacked the enemy.
Army’s 400 ground targets.”
Because of their participation in the war, the losses of the dwarves increased visibly. The constant loss of a large number of heavy weapons and equipment really made the dwarves' attacks look more like sending death over and over again.
"After the construction of the second runway is completed, the engineering troops will withdraw. You will not expand until the port construction is completely completed..." Xiao Yun poured a basin of cold water on his men: "Don't use too much force.
Keep the pace, you are mainly conducting ground support operations here, and the ammunition consumption will be relatively large, so be careful."
"Yes! General!" His subordinates stood at attention and saluted, their expressions became serious.
In the distance, dwarves and humans worked together to remove the rockets from the plane. The warehouse nearby was not actually reinforced, and the ammunition depot for storing arms was just an ordinary house. The speed of construction does not come without a price. Most of the buildings here are
The area is still in the state of "temporary construction site".
However, it is still in a usable state, which is enough for the Tang Air Force, which lacks an airport.
