This battle lasted for more than four hours, and the situation over the North Sea made it slightly difficult for each other to receive radio signals, but thousands of miles away, the Admiralty and the Fast Fleet still received this piece of information with a powerful receiving machine and more probability, to be honest, hearing the information reported by the correspondent, Betty was dumbfounded, and Churchill, who was still waiting for news in the Admiralty, did not expect that a battle to prevent the return of the German Navy would turn into an air battle, The unprepared airship was sunk on a large scale.

The reason for such a big difference is, on the one hand, that the German side has an absolute advantage in a dense camp, 120 to 60, concentrated versus dispersed. On the other hand, the quality of the airships made in the Northwest for Germany was far better than that made in Britain and the United States.

The airship in the northwest, even if there is no special research, but the skeleton used by the airship is a lightweight aluminum alloy skeleton, a double-layer network, some anti-leakage systems, polymer materials, etc., perhaps for the machine gun, there is not much ability to resist, the general machine gun, for the airship made in the northwest, the lethality is small, which is also the British side did not carry a cannon, so it is the most important reason for the large gap in results.

The figure of 50:15, which was unacceptable to the British side, and the most important thing was that the members of the airship who were shot down, they were still very dangerous, they were shot down, and they fell to the top of the North Sea, in all directions, at least 400 nautical miles above, there was no land.

In the battle of the airship, most of the crew did not have much to do, after all, the airships attacked each other. Just against the airbags above, that's the biggest target. When helium is used, the attack airbag does not explode. However, when a large number of airbags were damaged, the airship that would still be affected eventually sank slowly.

In this era, it has not yet reached the level of omnipotent, and in naval and air battles, there is a certain kind of knightly principle, such as not continuing to strike at sailors who have fallen into the water, and even rescuing them.

The airship air battle between Britain and Germany lasted more than three hours. However, the real state of war was very short, the speed of the airship, the protection, and even the balance of forces between the two sides made the battle end in a short time, and the German side broke a large number of the opponent's airbags, and when the British airship lost its position, the German side did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

After losing most of its buoyancy. After falling to the surface of the sea, the airship's airbag provided enough buoyancy for these survivors. With the help of hanging baskets and airbags, they were able to float on the sea, but it would not be for long. The north winds after nightfall will make the meteorological conditions in the North Sea. It will make a huge change in the sea environment, if you can't save them. You will suffer huge losses.

The Admiralty acted urgently, the ships that were preparing to encircle the German fleet, and the fast fleet that had been waiting, changed their purpose, and urgently went to the accident area, at all costs, to rescue these British soldiers who had fallen into the water, as for the previous mission, no one would care anymore.

This point, not only the British side, but also Germany is very clear, three hours, after shooting down all the airships, this is basically safe for the German attack fleet, the German airship troops, after 15 fewer airships, did not dare to continue to operate here, God knows if the British side will go crazy and pour out their pockets.

But in fact, Britain is really crazy. Almost 120 airships were mobilized from the mainland, and they flew up in full armor to prepare for a strategic decisive battle with the German airships, and the ships were placed in a relatively secondary position.

The high cost of airships, each of which exceeds 1 million US dollars, is enough to attract attention to the sinking of an airship at such a price, and now it has sunk 50 ships at once, which is a huge loss, almost 10 million pounds, and the capital ship can make 4 ships.

The reason why the Germans attacked the airship, they also knew that it was to ensure the safety of that fleet, and now near that direction, there was only a fast fleet that was constantly maneuvering in a serpentine shape, but without the airship to search at the height, on the sea surface, the pursuit of a person who did not know where to run, lost the target, and only knew the general direction, which was almost an extremely low probability of finding for the navy, and it was almost impossible to find.

On the contrary, the airship is a huge target, and if it can be intercepted, it can be revenged. The determination of revenge, the British side, in addition to letting the local airship set off, also contacted the airship in Paris, at present the German army is not ready to attack, Paris has become the base camp of the entire Entente airship, the huge Paris, give the airship enough space to take off, more than 400 airships are all over Paris, knowing the news of the division of troops on the German side, these airships are also urgently loaded and taken off.

No one thought that the German Admiralty, which was nothing more than a targeted retaliatory operation, actually caused the launch of 500 airships, and the entire German army did not know what was happening, with 120 airships, and in the face of the other side's strong provocation of the British and French airships, it was almost impossible to rise into the air and hid in the hangar.

The entire Paris front line went crazy, and no one knew what was going on, whether Britain and France were preparing a strategic counterattack and sent airships to bomb, and the troops surrounding Paris were ready for aerial bombardment, only to find that these airships did not care about the troops near Paris at all, but flew directly to the sea.

Such a strange act, so that the German side was greatly surprised, fortunately, the entire north of Paris, near Belgium, are under the control of the German Army, although it is impossible to do step by step fortification, but there are still simple observation posts, more than 400 airships, huge airships like mountains, densely set off together, this feeling, can definitely be said to be amazing, even ordinary people, will see because of the excitement.

The airship troops went straight to the north, and in the end, disappeared above the sea, not the British they expected, but what was it that attracted such a big movement from Britain and France, the Paris front command quickly reported the matter, and finally reported this matter to the General Staff.

The General Staff knew the battle situation in the North Sea, 120 airships, at sea, killed 50 British airships happily, and achieved a shootdown ratio of 4:50, such an exchange was simply a hearty victory, but it didn't wait long for everyone to be happy, this sudden news, like a basin of cold water, was poured directly on everyone's head.

Now, Germany, and even the whole world, for the tactics of airship operations, is still a prototype, but according to the conventional theory, the number and intensity of firepower basically represent the strength of both sides, in terms of quantity, Germany's airships combined, and Britain and France are quite different, not to mention other places, there are 400 airships in Paris, above Germany, not to mention Germany itself, the manufacturing capacity of the British Empire, Germany has never dared to underestimate.

At this time, there is no need to take care of anything else, the advantages that have been obtained, can not be buried, by the British and French coalition forces to be able to superior airship combination, combined British and French airship forces, can form a fourfold overwhelming advantage, although the German staff, for the strength of the northwest airship has enough confidence, but the airship offensive strength and weak defense of the problem is huge, and can not be solved, even if the ratio of 1:1 to cause counter-kill, it is useless, 120 airships sunk together This cost is unbearable for the German side.

After understanding it clearly, the German airship that had succeeded in the urgent order immediately turned around and returned to German territory from the Baltic Sea direction. But going deep into the enemy's hinterland is always a very dangerous adventure, and in the event of an attack, it is quite dangerous, and as far as the position of the airship formation is concerned, as long as it enters the German-controlled area, it is safe.

Airships can be faster than ships, and the airspace in the air, in the era of no aircraft, is almost unlimited, in this case, how can you miss if you flee with all your might, turn from the direction of the previous battle, and do not return to the vicinity of Paris, but fly directly to the east and return to the European continent, even if it is not a German-controlled area, the danger of being encircled is very small.

In the end, the battle ended with the German side fleeing back into the control area, the British and French airship alliance, in the end, did not venture into the Nordic continent, continued the pursuit, in vain, after returning, it returned, in the return of the red frenzied search of the airship troops, just ran into the German side of the ship force, but it was already a sigh, because the ships had entered the Kiel Canal, the British Navy for the German Navy, occupy a huge advantage, but this advantage, does not mean, He could casually enter the Kiel Canal, which was under the absolute control of Germany.

If it was replaced by a German airship, it might have bombed some anger, but now the British and French airships have not been able to accurately hit the high-speed moving ships, and they casually dropped a few bombs, and after piercing a lot of flowers and plants and fish in the water, they returned, and everything was calm.

An inexplicable, and fierce encounter, just like that, the curtain came down, starting from the German side, to the airship battle between the two sides, and then to the end of the British and French came up with 500 airships to retaliate, from the sea to the sky, the situation of the war, it seems that in an instant, unimaginable changes have occurred, later generations of military scholars positioned the position of this battle very high, the prototype of the army, navy and air force, is also recognized from this period began to appear, and even the air war caused by the naval raid, It is called a typical example of air combat, with dense camps and full firepower arrangement, which has become the standard configuration of airships in this era, and some people even think that it is possible to list airships separately and become an independent army.
