"Captain Richie, I never thought I would see so many planes on the same night in my lifetime!"

"Tonight won't be the first time you've seen so many planes, Captain Terrest. In the future, you will see more and more, not only airplanes, but also more new types of weapons used in warfare. ”

"Like the vehicle you said can block bullets?"

"Yes."

"Perhaps, as you said, war is a catalyst for human progress, it not only brews and produces death, but also plays a role in catalyzing scientific and technological progress for the times."

"Have you always been so philosophical?"

"Huh? Hehe! ”

Litchie was just telling a truth, but it was clear that Ewald. Feng. Kleist doesn't think so.

The German troops in the field hospital were fully prepared, not only did they carry out the highest level of alert, but in fact they also set up mines, mines, and rope mines in the outer positions...... And so on messy but very practical all kinds of mines.

The roaring sound of artillery was not only coming from the Allied positions outside the field hospital, but in fact the entire battlefield of the Somme had not stopped at all since 2 o'clock in the morning. Prior to that, the Luftwaffe made a big sortie, some of which attacked the positions of the Entente, and some of which flew over the forward positions of the Entente at an altitude above the clouds.

The Luftwaffe completed their mission, and when they arrived at the Allied airfields, they began to lower their altitudes and dropped bombs on the Allied airfields.

Because the bombing of airfields had never happened before, and even in recent years, there have been very few bombing outside the battlefield, and the light control will only appear at the front of the battlefield, and the rear has never known what the light control is, and the result is that those airfields have been brightly lit from the beginning of the bombing, and they have not thought of extinguishing any light until the end of the bombing.

There was no concept of light control, so it was only natural that the Allied airfields would not only be attacked by a wave of German planes, until the Luftwaffe felt that the need to bomb them was lost.

After today, a number of Allied pilots publicly blamed the pilots of the German air raids, saying that they had lost their chivalry. Their remarks were picked up by almost all of the world's major newspapers, the most famous of which was the headline "The Germans, lost their sense of honor, are no longer knights in the air!" ”。

Spooky, right? But World War I was a ceremonial war, and the German pilots who participated in the airfield raids were really ashamed of themselves, but no one thought that way when both sides saw air strikes on each other's airfields as the norm.

"Make sure there's no sign of an attack on the other side, right?" Richie has asked this question more than once, and he has also been to the front line to observe it himself.

"Yes!" Wa~er~ter. Moder looked very excited, and he said: "Captain, it turns out that no one is stupid enough to run out of cover when the shelling continues. ”

"I agree with you." Li Qi looked at several lieutenants with straight waists, and said: "This situation will only last until the airship appears, and once the airship appears, they will definitely attack, so I hope that there will be no confusion due to the evacuation order, and even some people will leave their jobs and rush to board the airship!" ”

Every lieutenant saluted and promised that nothing like that would happen.

By the way, Litchie did not guarantee that he would be the last to board the airship, not because he was afraid of death or anything, any German military school repeated the officers again and again...... In particular, the importance of the safety of the commander has also repeatedly mentioned that everyone has their own responsibilities, and that a strictly educated officer should have a more important role on the battlefield, and the value of existence is not to charge into battle like an ordinary soldier.

It is difficult to understand with oriental thinking, but you can understand it from the direction of teamwork, which is nothing more than doing its own job.

"What sound?"

"Airplanes, too many planes to count!"

The "buzzing ......" sound was at first so soft that it was almost inaudible, then it gradually became clearer, and then it became louder...... Bigger and bigger, and finally the whole world is full of "buzz!" Voice.

It's not so exaggerated that it's hard to count, but it's definitely not less than 200. When they were about to reach the field hospital, they were divided into three parts, the first part flew directly to the west, the second part was to enter the air attack on the Allied positions outside the field hospital, and the third part was to maintain an altitude as if they were patrolling.

"It's coming!"

Yes, here it is, because the "buzz" is too loud, and it will be cloudy again tonight, first a huge guy lowered to about 250 meters and suddenly a dark night sky appeared on its body, then a second, a third, a fourth...... Until the thirty-second ship, their appearance made the people who were already waiting for them can't help but let out cheers.

With the appearance of the airship, the people on the positions of the Entente were probably stupid, they probably couldn't believe their eyes, and looked at the behemoth that suddenly appeared with incredible eyes amid the explosions that were constantly being shelled.

Waiting for the reaction, some of the Entente officers went completely crazy, and they ordered the soldiers to get out of their bunkers, and the attackers immediately launched a ground charge, and on the other hand, they forced all the powerful fire to shoot at the airships, but soon they enjoyed the bombs dropped by the airships.

On the German side, the artillery bombardment on the ground and the air raids by aircraft did not stop, and even airships joined in the attack. The artillery continued to cover at an angle, and as soon as a single point of fire was exposed, at least one aircraft would whizz out to strike. However, even this could not prevent fire from firing at the airship that appeared.

The loss is not the kind of fuel that can be used in one dozen, so as long as it is not a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun, at most it will pierce a few holes.

"I see! So that's it! "Douglas. Haig had always been imprisoned, and when he was imprisoned, he had been wondering how his captives would break through, and when he was escorted out and saw the airship, he immediately understood. He looked at Li Qi, who was smiling and looking at him, as if he was very depressed, and asked, "Can you tell whose masterpiece this is?" Is it Moltke? Or the up-and-coming Ludendorff? ”

"You'll know the answer." Richie glanced at Robert, whose eyes were almost bulging. Nivelle, to Douglas. Haig said: "Admiral, your war with this lieutenant general is over. Our Emperor guarantees that you will be treated in a manner commensurate with your rank. ”

Douglas. Haig was about to say something, but he was quickly forced away by a stout sergeant.

As soon as the first airship landed, it was not ...... It is not appropriate to say that it is landing, it is the gondola room under the belly hovering about two meters above the ground, followed by the second and third ships...... Until the seventh, they hovered at various heights on the side of the Entente camp in order to form enough shields for the other airships.

The eighth airship descended to the height, it was hovering, and then opened the hatch and slid down an iron-framed staircase. That's the case with every ship after that, and the landing doesn't really happen.

Richie is with Douglas. Haig and Robert. Nevelle boarded the eighth airship, and the others boarded in batches.

While waiting for the airship to take off, Li Qi was looking out through the glass window, and he looked at the chain of light in the night sky like pearl grains, which were machine-gun shots, and so many bullets were flying back and forth, making people feel as if they were in a wonderful dream.

"Congratulations, Captain! You will be received by the Emperor and become a hero to all of Germany......"

There was a voice in his ears, and Li Qi just turned his head to look, but he didn't see the appearance and rank of the person who came, he smiled more tentatively, and turned his head to look outside again, where an airship acting as a shield was already on fire......
