The top of the Osage coalition, and the coalition soldiers who had been watching the Cherokees for a long time, soon knew what the Cherokees were doing to make such a large space in their positions.
Just under the gaze of all the Osage soldiers, big, round guys floated slowly from the open space of the Cherokee people. Even if they were so far away, the Osage soldiers could feel the size of more than ten big guys.
Looking at the Cherokee position from this distance, a single Cherokee soldier is not much bigger than a small ant. If his eyes are not very good, he can only see a dark area
No contrast, no harm. Even in such a long distance, those ten big guys are as big as a big tomato, which shows how big these ten big guys are.
"What's this?" This is a common question in the minds of almost all the Osage coalition forces.
But it's so far away that it's impossible for them to see clearly.
Deep in the middle of the Great Plains, the osaqis had a good relationship with the French, but even the black buffalo did not have a telescope. Naturally, they don't know what these big guys are.
Even if they can see these 18 guys clearly, they don't know what they are.
"Sir, the wind is right now, but the wind is not very strong. I think if we wait a little longer, the wind will increase, and then we can make the balloon flutter! " The black wolf excitedly looked at the hot air balloon that was continuously injected with hot air, and said to Kuaima with certainty.
Black wolf is a thin man, but if you look down on him because of his black and thin appearance, you are completely wrong.
This guy is a real ruthless. He is also Qu Kui, a soldier of Honghe tribe. He is also the most important person of the old lion. Every time the old lion comes to Monongahela, the black wolf is the leader of the guard of the mad lion.
The old lion happened to be in Monongahela when the stone bear was making a hot-air balloon, and then the black wolf, the leader of the crazy lion guard, was attracted by the stone bear. Well, it's mainly because his body shape is very similar to that of bobcat, and his temperament is also very similar.
So the black wolf became the fifth person of the whole Cherokee tribe to fly in a hot air balloon, and also the first soldier of the bear army to fly in a hot air balloon after the expansion of the bear army.
And black wolf's performance did not disappoint stone bear. This guy is not only not afraid of heights, but also excited when he comes down.
As a result, the first experimenter of hot air balloon as a military weapon became the black wolf. He was also appointed by Shi Xiong and had the absolute right to select hot air balloon experimenters in the whole army.
From the date of the birth of the hot air balloon, until now, the whole experiment of the bear army hot air balloon has been completed by the black wolf.
This time, the black wolf came to the logistics camp of the western expedition with 18 hot air balloons and the soldiers of the bear army who drove the balloons, and brought a word from chief Dali.
"The chief said that these 18 balloons should gather together to fight for a real battle in a certain battle."
It was because of this order that bighorn sheep allocated the 18 balloons to the most arduous first division.
Black wolf said that the wind will increase in a moment, and the wind direction is suitable for the judgment of the balloon drifting, Kuaima never doubted.
Although he doesn't have much contact with the black wolf, Kuaima knows that the black skinny man, who is five or six years older than himself, is definitely the most authoritative hot air balloon expert of the whole bear army. Even the big bear is not as good as the man in front of him in hot air balloon.
When I went back to Monongahela, I saw seven or eight balloons in a neat formation in the air more than once, flying more than ten kilometers with the wind at an altitude of several hundred meters.
Those balloons can not only travel a long distance with the wind, but also rise and fall in the air with a nearly consistent rhythm.
Kuaima saw with his own eyes that the highest height of the hot-air balloons was more than one kilometer when they floated. Similarly, the hot-air balloons would descend in a neat way when they floated. The descending height was once as low as the height of the hanging basket less than 50 meters from the ground
It can be said that every time I see those balloons rise, fall or float with the wind, it makes Kuaima marvel.
Kuaima thinks that he doesn't have the ability to do this. Even Dali bear sighs in private, saying that black wolf is born to eat this bowl of rice.
Of course, Kuaima knows that the reason why the black wolf is able to do this is not by anything else, but by almost the whole day every day, and then continuous training for nearly half a year.
Such intensive training has created the prestige of the "air force" of the stormy bear army.
Well, the word "air force" is also used by chief bear!
Kuaima is very clear that the black wolf in front of him said that the wind will become stronger after a while, so the wind will certainly become stronger after a while.
After a long period of training, their air force has been extremely sensitive to wind direction and wind force. Anyway, Kuaima thinks it is absolutely impossible, but any soldier in the air force can do it.
What's that called again? Well, chief big bear seems to say that it's called "there's a specialty in technology"
Sure enough, after not two cigarettes, the wind seems to be getting stronger.
Black wolf decisively issued an order: "ground crew, put No. 3 grenade into the basket! Be careful! Other air force brothers immediately enter the basket. After the No. 3 grenade is loaded, the pilot will increase his firepower! Air force, take off
With the black wolf's order, more than 100 men of the bear Army Air Force gave a "Huha" in unison, and then delivered No. 3 grenade to the hanging basket. The soldiers who were ready to take off checked their equipment and entered the hanging basket one after another.
No. 3 grenade is a kind of air drop grenade specially developed by arhat for hot air balloon. This kind of grenade is still detonated by fuse, but the fuse of No. 3 grenade is relatively long, and it takes about eight seconds to ignite the grenade.
That is to say, if the hanging basket of the hot-air balloon is 100 meters away from the ground, and the thrower on it lights the No. 3 grenade, he just needs to silently count "one, two, three" according to a certain rhythm in his heart and then throw the grenade down, then the grenade will be detonated when it reaches the ground.
It takes about 4.5 seconds for an object to fall at the speed of free fall at an altitude of 100 meters, including the air resistance, which is about 4.7 seconds. It takes about three seconds to light the fuse. When the grenade reaches the ground, it can be set off.
Only two soldiers entered the basket. One was in charge of the stove and the hand-held hair dryer, and the other was in charge of using the flag language. The soldier was called the driver. And the other one is a professional thrower!
With everyone watching, the driver in the 18 baskets shook the hand hair dryer, and then the 18 big guys began to lift off slowly with ropes
