Early the next morning.

The cold wind of last night had not yet left when it met the warm sun that shone in the morning, forming a dense fog that could envelop people in it.

The bird, which seemed to be in a dream, sang softly twice, and the insects that did not know where to hide followed it.

The dew on the grass and shrubs glows softly in the warm sunlight like a wine to be sipped.

With fog, the cool wind blows on people's faces, through the nose, and sucks into the body, and the comfort from the inside out gives people a feeling of unreality.

This, which was supposed to be a calm and beautiful morning, until—

"Attention to the 1st Artillery Echelon, attention to the 1st Artillery Echelon, then prepare for fire on enemy targets for an hour, repeat, prepare for fire on enemy positions for 1 hour, the commander has an order, give me all the shells. ”

"Here is the 1st Artillery Echelon, instructions have been received, and the next step will be to prepare artillery fire on local positions as planned. ”

After speaking, he put down the microphone in his hand, waved his hand to the herald on the side, and said very happily: "Notice, the order has been issued, start with me in a while, give me an hour, and use up all the shells!"

"Yes, sir!" replied the herald cheerfully, only to see him rush to the nearby telegraph and send out a telegram indicating the beginning of the operation, as had been planned.

The originally quiet echelon of the First Artillery Corps made a noise like boiling water, but then fell silent as if someone had added a scoop of cold water.

Everyone was holding their breath in anticipation of something, and even their heartbeats were eager to suppress it.

Boom –

Like a muffled thunderbolt, as if to wake up the sleeping land, a heavy cannon rang out from afar.

Then, like the beating of ten thousand drums, the successive cannon sounds were connected in an instant, like a loud sound of a hundred-foot waterfall rising into the air, suddenly rising on this hill.

The shells that came out of their disembowels left hot shells and turned into pillars of light visible to the naked eye, carrying the sharp sound of tearing the air, like lightning falling to the ground in the sky, making terrifying explosions and loud noises, violently shattering the dense fog that had not woken up in the early morning.

In just a few moments, the rain of cannonballs turned the besieged city into a sea of fire, and the shock wave of the explosion completely flattened the buildings in the city, and the city that was only a pile of ruins turned into a hell full of holes.

However, all this is just the beginning.

"Sir, what are your next instructions?"

"It went as planned. ”

"Yes!"

Ole put down the telescope in his hand, and now he was standing in the captain's room of the airship, and he could clearly overlook the battlefield below from a height of thousands of meters.

"Tell the second echelon artillery to get ready, after the first wave of shelling is over, they have only ten minutes to prepare, and after ten minutes if I don't hear the artillery, call him to go to the Judge Advocate General's Office himself. ”

"Yes. ”

Just as he gave the order, the airship hovering in the air had already begun to fly smoothly.

Looking at the slow-moving huge black shadow below, although it is not fast, it is a behemoth that is comparable in size to an aircraft carrier, or even surpasses, if you look at it from below, it must be very amazing.

But that's exactly what Olle was looking forward to.

"Inform all the empty boats, be sure to come around me from all sides, and give me a good scare and scare the ants below!" Ole, who was high in the air, looked at the small object below and couldn't help but say the word ant.

In fact, since they arrived at the battlefield yesterday, with the help of all logistical personnel and several battalions and companies, they have unloaded all their cargo and turned off heavy air-to-ground bombs and incendiary bombs.

Compared to these long-range guns rumbling below, these are their real killer features.

"Tell all the crew members of the airship that this war is related to the interests of the country, so I hope, no, I ask you to fight with the determination to die, without my order, no airship and its crew are not allowed to leave the battlefield for any reason, violators will be punished on the spot, everyone, you are all loyal to the country, the country will remember your efforts, so please do not be afraid, go to your death." ”

"Sir......

"What's wrong?" asked Ole, turning his head to the speechless lieutenant behind him.

"No, nothing. The lieutenant shook his head, then lowered his head.

It's absolutely impossible to have no complaints or anything.

With almost no defense, poor mobility, and a load of all sorts of flammable and explosive materials, manipulating such a huge barrel of explosives to appear on the enemy's head like a live target is nothing different from suicide.

But to put it mildly, this is also expected by Orle.

Or maybe that's exactly what he wants.

Even if they were all taken down, the explosion caused by the explosion caused by the airships laden with jet fuel and explosives would completely reduce the city to rubble.

So it doesn't matter, even if they are knocked down, or if they return safely, they will win in the end.

If you can't come up with the best of both worlds, you have to make the best choice for us.

"In that case, sir, please evacuate first. ”

"What?"

As if understanding his plan, the guard of Ole said worriedly, "If you continue to move forward, even this empty ship will have to face danger, so please evacuate by helicopter as soon as possible." ”

The shadow cast on the ground by the airboat reflected by the sunlight could be said to be close to the city in front of them, which also meant that they were not long away from reaching their reserved location.

In other words, if you want to escape, now is the time to make a final choice.

"Could it be that you didn't hear what I said?" replied to the guard's words, "I said that all crew members in the ship were never allowed to leave the battlefield for any reason at the moment they boarded the airship, understood?"

He emphatically said the word 'all', and what was revealed in his serious words was that there would be no room for refutation.

The soldiers are dead, why can't I, Ole, die?

On the other hand, I am not afraid of death, and others must also give me not to be afraid of death!

“…… Yes, I see. The guard lowered his head and said, and the other officers present also nodded subconsciously.

"Report, sir, our airship is about to enter enemy airspace, please instruct. ”

"There are no instructions, just remember to inform the artillery and armored units below to continue to act according to the plan, by the way, inform the whole army by the way, victory must be ours!"

"Yes, victory must be ours!" said the communications soldier with the document in his hand saluting Ole and saying proudly.

The fire coverage on the ground continued, but for the high altitude, the roaring explosion was really a little small, only the rising flames and all kinds of debris constantly lifted by the shock wave, like fireworks exploding on the ground, still gave people some real feeling.

"Has it entered enemy airspace? ”

"It should be," a staff officer whispered back to Orle's words.

At this time, the huge figure of the airship like a dark cloud had completely shrouded a corner of the city in darkness.

If there had not been this deafening explosion below, it would have been a frightened scream.

So sometimes, this kind of weapon similar to the Kirov airship does not necessarily play the role of killing the enemy, but more of arousing the enemy's deep-seated fear, thus playing the role of breaking the enemy's morale.

"Report, Airboat No. 1 arrived at the designated area and is conducting bombing operations. ”

"It was reported that the No. 2 airboat had arrived in the designated area and was carrying out a bombing operation. ”

"Report, Airboat No. 3 arrived at the designated area and was carrying out bombing operations. ”

"Report, airboat No. 4 to reach the designated area, is carrying out ......"

“……”

"Report, our airboat to reach the designated area, please instruct. ”

In the face of the many communication soldiers who came to report, Ole waved his hand and said: "I have already said that there are no instructions here, and in the case of not withdrawing from the battlefield, each boat is controlled by the captain of each boat, and that's it." ”

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the city below, which was completely covered in artillery fire, and if from the very beginning, the enemy could still endure through areas that could not be covered by ground fire, now it must be proactive.

"Report, observed the enemy's crossbow attack below, and judged that the target of the attack was our airboat. ”

Crossbow bolts?

He picked up the binoculars and looked down, and although he couldn't see it clearly, judging from the outline, it should be something similar to a siege crossbow or a ballista.

But that kind of thing with a range of only one kilometer at most is not enough for an airship that can rise to more than ten kilometers or even higher.

In this way, it seems that the size of the airboat is too large, so the other party misjudged its height.

What a bunch of idiots.

Then, after several meaningless attempts, the other party finally realized that his attack could not reach the empty ship at all, so he quickly stopped the attack.

But this only makes them more worried.

What they feared was not the enemy's magic cannon, which was a powerful weapon but actually did not pose a threat to them, but they were afraid of themselves.

This is a very unfair world, an unfair and perverted world where you can rely on your personal strength to go to heaven and earth, you can easily match thousands of troops, and you can ignore all kinds of rules.

It is precisely because of this that in this world, where even the most basic industry has not been developed, what really frightens them is that they belong to the most basic units in the history of war.

Person.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from behind them, and then, only the sound of leather shoes stomping on the ground was heard, and a communications soldier hurriedly reported without even having time to breathe: "Report, several high-speed targets have been observed, which are hovering near the ground, and are expected to ...... within five minutes."

Before he finished speaking, not far away, an empty boat with teeth and claws painted on the outside tilted its body like an eagle shot by a sharp arrow.

"Five minutes, that's too conservative. Ole smiled wryly and picked up the telescope in his hand.

In the horizon that was magnified as much as possible, inside the attacked airship, it could be vaguely seen that a pitch-black figure was constantly waving something, like a Shura constantly chasing and slashing the crew of the airship.

The crew of the boat was not completely without resistance, and when they looked through the window of the empty boat, they saw that the guards with light weapons in their hands were gathering in groups of more than a dozen people.

Trained to lock the gates of the boat, they resisted as much as possible with the small arms in their hands.

But as I said before, this is a world where the power of one person can fight against heaven and earth, so even bullets fired at close to the speed of sound look weak in front of that guy.

In the face of the rain of bullets in front of him, the intruder not only did not panic in the slightest, but calmly dodged all the attacks at a slight distance, just like a movie.

It doesn't work at all.

As the aboriginal of this world in Chu Qing's mouth, Ao Le naturally knew to what extent the strength of people in this world could reach, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he still felt his back light up.

"It is reported that the Twelfth, Fourth, and Ninth have been invaded by an external enemy three minutes ago, respectively, and the captains of the ships are actively organizing the expulsion of the invaders. ”

Not an expulsion!

Ole roared in his heart, it was pointless to resist, in fact, the moment the airship was invaded by the enemy, the result was already doomed, what they should really do was to start all the engines of the airship and crash into the ground.

However, he did not say this, for he had already said that there would be no further instructions from him, and that the ships would be under the command of their captains.

If it was a soldier under Chief Fujimura, or even if he was himself, he would have mastered the airship at this time, and then he would have died with glory without hesitation.

Although there is no evidence, Ole is very unwavering in his belief.

And what he hopes now is that the crew of these empty ships can use their own lives as weapons to make a last stand, with the consciousness that is not weaker than Fujimura's.

"Sir!"

While Ole was anxiously waiting, the adjutant who was now about a meter away behind him stretched out his hand and said in a lost voice.

Following the direction he pointed, he saw an airship that had also been attacked swaying violently in the air.

It's just that, unlike the other airships, at the moment of attack, this airship stopped the meaningless stabilization of the airship as if it had given up resistance, and instead increased its horsepower, and fell to the ground in the huge and scorching tail inflammation of the thrusters.
