"Damn, why hold on for 15 days, with our strength for 15 days? So what to do after 15 days! ”

This was a curse in the heart of the German forward commander, of course he would not curse this sentence, he said something else on the phone.

"Order the direct-fire artillery in the fort to remain silent and wait for my orders!"

As he spoke, he took off another telephone.

"Report, the enemy has launched an attack under the cover of artillery fire, they have the support of attack aircraft, I ask for air cover......"

With the request and report, the German side finally reacted.

In the sky, the "buzzing" sound is still the "Fokker Dr. 1" on the three-winged surface. It was followed by a "mosquito attack aircraft" loaded with machine gun bullets and rocket launch tubes on its wings.

In the face of the powerful armored forces of the British and French forces, it was not an easy task to hold out for 15 days. The interdiction force in the air was given special attention by the German side, and both the pilots and the aircraft were replenished a lot.

During the half month when the British and French attacks were thwarted and the devastating shelling began, the newly produced German fighters continued to be transported to the front. The newly built "Mosquito attack planes" simply arrived at the front line by the newly formed flight team after several flight transfers.

Therefore, when Xia Fei was proud of the shelling, proud of restraining Tang Yunyang, and proud of replenishing tanks, the Germans were not idle. to show the armies of the Entente that they are definitely not stupid.

At this time, if we put aside the fact that the current MPM military group is urging the British Royal Navy to rush goods, we will completely suspend the "Tomcat" heavy air superiority fighters and the "Benlei" attack aircraft required by the British and French armies. The number and quality of the German flying fleet has surpassed that of the British and French forces.

In the past half a month, Xia Fei did not debunk the excuse that he could not supply planes for the purpose of restraining Tang Yunyang. Instead, he purchased a considerable number of "Camel F.1", "Newburgh 17.Baby", and "Spard S.VII." from the British, and as for the lack of aircraft to make up for the losses suffered by the attack aircraft in the last attack, he used the "Camel F.1" fighters to make up for it.

Among them, the "Newburgh 17. Baby" adopts the form of "one and a half wings" (see the aforementioned), which takes into account the strength advantages of the biplane and the low-resistance characteristics of the monoplane, and has also become an intermediate form of the gradual transition from the biplane to the monoplane.

Like some models, the aircraft was designed to focus the main weight load near the center of gravity. And the cylinder rotary air-cooled engine is adopted, so that the maneuverability and climbing performance of the aircraft are particularly prominent, and the combat performance has been significantly improved.

The French pilots, who did not add the "Tomcat" heavy air supremacy fighter and the "Benlei-type attack plane", complained bitterly, and it was naturally difficult for this kind of aircraft to win their favor without a fully enclosed cockpit and bathtub-shaped bulletproof armor.

But the procurement of arms is the business of the generals, who have little say, but discontent is secretly growing.

At the beginning of the offensive, the "Camel F.1" was not so lucky, as it had done in the last British attack, and could attack with impunity with little air cover. This time, as soon as they flew to the battlefield, they crashed head-on into the sky with a "Fokker Dr.1" triplane painted in various colors.

There is no doubt that, as in the last British attack, the "Camel F.1" had 12 kg of bombs under its wings, and the pilots of the "Flying Stork Squadron", who were accustomed to the "Tomcat" heavy air superiority fighters, called these toys "fucking burdens".

They will be responsible for the attack on German pillboxes and other defenses at the beginning of the battle. Secondly, they had to maintain their superiority over the battlefield before the "Newburgh 17.Baby" arrived.

In terms of the formation of the flying team, the concept of German flying was obviously more advanced than that of the British and French forces. They used the Albatross DII-A to carry out air assaults without escort, the Fokker Dr.1 to gain air superiority, and bombers and airships to carry out long-range bombing that required escort. In the case of long-range bombing, the "Albatross DII-A", which can also be loaded with bombs in the belly bomb bay, will be equipped with temporary fuel tanks to take on the task of long-range escort.

During the approach of the large group of planes in the air, the pilots in the "Camel F.1" looked at the "Fokker Dr.1" approaching in the distance with some worry. As elite pilots of the "Flying Stork Squadron", they are aware of the danger.

Piloting these "fucking damn burdens" and engaging in aerial combat with the "Fokker Dr.1" with excellent fighting performance is undoubtedly an act of seeking death.

However, their combat orders prevent them from easily throwing away these "fucking burdens" and engaging in an all-out fight with "Dr. Fokker 1".

"Maybe the general wants us to fight like this!"

When the "Camel F.1" was driven to the three-wing surface, and the landing gear was rushed towards the "Fokker Dr.1", which had become bulky and unbearable, the French pilot's heart was filled with some kind of indescribable grievance.

The infantry remained silent on the German position, although the French army's armored spearhead consisting of "big nomad tanks" and armored fighting vehicles had entered the distance of 1,000 meters in front of the position, and the German soldiers were only seriously aiming.

By this time, the heavy artillery of the French army had stopped roaring, and they were ready to suppress the German counterattack fire that appeared at any time. Now the ground operations are supported by light artillery from some reinforced concrete pillboxes and 12 kilograms of bombs from those planes in the air.

Relative to the nervousness of the gunners, the infantry looked up at the sky. They know that it is their protector, and they dare not lay eggs with those twin-engine "thief cuckoos"! If that's the case, they may still have hope of survival.

In the sky, the two planes approached as quickly as dark clouds, with a roar and a jet of machine gun bullets, slammed into each other. In an instant, it was as if a silent volcano had suddenly erupted, and the wreckage of the plane and the corpses of the people all collided like lava.

"Good guy, what a fight!"

German soldiers at the front, sitting under the trenches.

At present, at the distance between the two sides, neither machine guns nor mortars can exert their strength. So, the German soldier sitting against the breastwork passed the last cigarette butt and raised his head to judge the air battle that was raging in the air.

"What's wrong with these Frenchmen, they're really bad this time!"

"And voila! That one flew down! ”

As the occasional "Camel F.1" that escaped the pursuit of the "Fokker Dr. 1" dived downward, there was a shout from the German position, and machine guns and rifles all began to fire with a bang.

The French pilot, piloting the "Camel F.1", looked at the flash of small arms dotted on the ground. I was a little helpless about the bulky "Camel F.1", so I had to close my eyes and burst out of my clenched teeth with a self-deprecating sentence.

"General, this is what you want!"
