"It's so easy to win!" Mark said with a little surprise, there is no real war, you can never understand, how powerful the Northwest air power is, the previous exercises, more to see is the huge power of the Northwest bomb, the aiming system plus the bomb, can solve the problem of hit, so that the airship's attack is more lethal.

But this can't solve the inherent problem of airships, that is, the problem of easy to shoot down and insufficient protection, but now, 28 against 60, it seems that the northwest airship has not made much effort, and when it carried a bomb to bomb, it was a leisurely stroll to kill the opponent's airship, and the change in the middle more or less surprised him, and under the agitation of the mood, he even sent a report to the army staff, asking for vigorous development and import of the northwest airship.

If Yang Yuanzhao knew that the result after this war was like this, he would definitely wake up with laughter, between the yellow race and the white race, because of the difference in skin color, it is naturally impossible to stand together, if Germany vigorously develops airships and really comes up with some airship strategies and tactics, it is simply the biggest good news for East Asia, history has proved that airplanes have stronger potential than airships, not to mention other things, speed is enough to make airships out of reach.

This is a later story, after Liu Dezhi completed the attack on the local airship unit, he took the initiative to hand over the command, he is just an instructor for assistance, and the real choice needs to be made by Mark.

Ahead, the general headquarters of the Crook Legion, Crook was still a little anxious waiting for the news at this time, the news released to the airship troops, he never came back, the strength of the airship. Nothing could threaten it, and he seemed to have forgotten. Their opponent is the European powerhouse France, not Belgium. When the French took off the airships that were also equipped with weapons and had lethality against the air, the Big Mac could not reach this place, and if they were defeated by the French airships, they would have to wait for the artillery to arrive and then attack the fortress ahead, which was equivalent to wasting a lot of time.

Didi, the radio station that specializes in liaising with the airship troops, suddenly sounded. Crook stared at the station, and the telegraph operator in charge of the station also knew the importance of the matter, listened carefully, and then recorded it on the record, and at the first time it was completed, he shouted loudly: "Your Excellency, the airship troops have won a great victory!" ”

"Win big!" Crook looked at the telegraph operator in amazement, as if he could not understand his words, according to his understanding. The little airship is agile and nimble, and the number is twice as overwhelming, it is good to be able to repel and protect most of them, what is the matter with a big victory!

The telegram was written. The self-defense fire of the airship forces shot down 37 ships and damaged 12 ships. Their losses were slight, with only one being unable to move on. After discarding some of the bombs, we returned! ”

"What?" Crook was completely stunned and took the telegraph operator's record. The whole result was clearly recorded above, he looked at it carefully a few times, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and had a deeper understanding of the power of the airship, the giant airship provided by the Northwest, the self-defense firepower is also quite powerful, plus he is not using hydrogen, but that kind of inert gas, and the ability to resist sinking has been greatly improved, a rabble like France should not be his opponent.

The heart that has been hanging has been put back completely, and the keen Crook once again put his mind on this side, one less airship, only a part of the bombs are missing, and the rest is enough to blow up the city belt in front, unlike the independent fortress like the Liege Fortress, here is a series of urban belts, with a large number of fortresses and residences, when the airship is fixedly removed, there must be follow-up infantry to move forward, which is a big test for the legion, and it must be arranged in advance.

The Crook Legion, the Meuse River Legion, and the follow-up Corps almost all received the news of the victory at the same time, and they all began to prepare in unison.

Germany knew about the defeat of the airship troops first, but France did not know, because this duel was fought in the wilderness, not within the scope of the French telegraph office, and the French saw it below, and it took time to contact the superiors, and it was impossible to preset the battlefield in such an encounter.

The French troops stationed in the city were still looking forward to it, and they wanted to wait for the big victory of the airship troops, but they didn't expect that two hours after departure, only less than one-tenth of them returned, air combat, especially for slow aircraft such as airships, if the other party really wanted to run, and don't flee in all directions, it would be difficult to take them all, besides, Mark knew very well what his main task was, which was to storm the French defense line and fortress and help the army below to attack, Instead of chasing these useless airships, they only chased for a short while, and then stopped chasing, according to a fixed formation, steadily moving forward, as long as they flew in front of the fortress, it was a victory.

The news about the loss of the airship was brought by these survivors, which was absolutely bad news for the French generals, the airship failed completely, not a single one was down, but was chased and beaten by the German army, and the vast majority of them were lost.

Such a result was absolutely not expected by the French commanders, the worst result they expected before was that the two sides were evenly matched, both lost a certain amount of airships, both of them retreated, but they did not think that this was the case, what to do next, some staff officers asked yì, let the plane try, but it was made fun of by everyone, in fact, the current plane, is still just a toy, ultra-light aircraft, the pilot is heavier and can't get on, the aircraft in the early days of the First World War, has not yet attracted the attention of the state, just made by enthusiasts, The military saw that he could fly, and the speed was okay, and called up some planes for reconnaissance, but the attack power was equal to zero, and the airships that were loaded with Makqin machine guns and armed to the teeth were not opponents of the other party's airships, what use could the planes be used, could it be that the pilots could use pistols to hit?

Hesitation, confusion, and the fog of war cost France its last chance, and it was only 12 minutes late that 27 airships flew over the French city.

What a behemoth this is, the first time I have seen such a huge airship, the longest zeppelin is about 148 meters at present, but the giant class, the smallest is also 300 meters away, the huge length, the number of 27 ships, each covering an area of thousands of square meters, all added together, really a bit of a sense of covering the sky.

With a telescope, you can not only see the huge cabin, but also see that the machine gun that has not been withdrawn, the thick barrel, the 20 mm cannon, and the airship that is several meters long, compared with the opponent, it is like a giant meeting a baby, it turns out that the opponent is armed to the teeth, and he rushed out, but according to experience, he hit a full head. But what are they going to do, can't they strafe with machine guns in the air, or **? All the French officers looked at the airship in the sky with great difference.

This is not the Liege Fortress, many of the fortifications have just been built, or refitted, in the hands of Mark and others, there is only a sketch drawn by several legions, even if it is this sketch, it is also temporarily made after getting the news of the victory of the airship battle, when the airship arrived, a zeppelin lowered its height and was hoisted up with a long rope.

Holding the above target, Mark calculated slightly, combined with the number of aerial bombs currently in his possession, the scale of the opponent's city is too large, and the firepower points are relatively scattered, and the final result is that it can only destroy about 80% of the targets.

The radio signals kept staggering on both sides, and soon, the legions below reached a consensus, the central breakthrough, focusing on cleaning up the central urban agglomeration, clearing a road for the legions, and then ignoring it.

The order was finally given, and the targets dispersed, and the airships hovering together began to move, one by one, above the point of fire.

The French generals below, can only look at this qiē blankly, they do not have any countermeasures, the commander of the defense line also once wanted to let the airship take off, the surprise attack, were all those airship pilots and crews, sternly refused, the French did not regard death as home, the German airship gave them a deep impression, at this time, they went up, not beaten by the group, no matter what, they will not take off.

The first bomb, which fell at about 11 o'clock in the afternoon, was a fixed fortress, modified from the original masonry structure, with a small fire point of 8 guns, and not even a roof, so it was not the largest bomb fired, but only about 700 pounds.

The black thing fell, and a French officer next to him smiled disdainfully: "Could it be that the Germans think that if they just throw something, they can hit?" ”

Hit rate is a key issue from the beginning of the development of artillery, for hundreds of years, from the old artillery to today, how long has it developed, if you want to hit something a few meters long below from a height of more than a thousand meters, the difficulty is not ordinary, this is common sense.

But after dozens of seconds, the French froze, because this black thing hit the fire point impartially, and in the explosion, 8 artillery fire points, under the 1 or 200 kilograms of T(N)T bombing, directly extinguished.

Coincidence, or miracle? All the French officers had such an idea in their hearts, but the continued attack of the airship proved that this was not a coincidence with ironclad facts, and in just 5 minutes, more than 30 aerial bombs were dropped, and the final hit rate was as high as 90%, more than 200 artillery pieces and many soldiers were cleared at fixed points, and the French defense line lacked a huge gap in just 5 minutes, and the entire defense line was somewhat precarious.
