After the attack of the airship was opened, the German army below did not wait for the airship to clean up all the firepower points like the fortress of Liège, which is impossible, stretching for dozens of kilometers, dozens of cities and fortifications in the suburbs, not a bombing can be cleaned up, aerial bombs belong to a scarce resource, before the arrival of the second batch in the northwest, with one less one, besides, for safety, the logistics warehouse is in Belgium, almost 200 kilometers away from here, back and forth, it is very difficult.

Crook and other senior officers have already finished their discussions, originally the army is an attack branch, a commander, if he is afraid of casualties, his own troops are completely ineffective, even if there is no airship, under the bombardment of heavy artillery, it also needs the follow-up army troops to impact, but the heavy artillery is replaced by infantry.

Compared with heavy artillery, the bombardment of the airship is more accurate, perhaps just a free-fall movement, and the impact is very small, unlike artillery, even if it is an accurate artillery, it is impossible to completely accurate the explosive power of the fire YAO to a completely consistent level, but the free-fall movement projected from the air is much easier, especially in a relatively stationary situation. In this case, after the airship clears the front fire points and fortresses, it should be easier for the light firepower of the legion to attack with the infantry and capture the opponent.

As early as the airship entered the field and aimed, the surrounding infantry had made all preparations, and when the first bomb fell and the first firing point was cleared, the infantry on the front line had quietly moved forward. At this moment, the French army, still immersed in the shock of the power of the aerial bomb, few noticed.

In Crook's opinion. When the airship came over the city, it announced the defeat of the French defenders. The French would not have imagined that the airship could be so strong. Large-caliber aerial bombs, as soon as they are fired, the half-permanent and permanent fortifications that have been carefully constructed have been broken and eliminated one by one, and the defense line that originally presented the system has also been broken one by one. When protection can't be protection, these cities can't be defended.

Now is the time for the army to show its might, when the infantry quietly approached the forward line of defense about 100 meters, the loud trumpet suddenly sounded, and the fierce German army began to charge in a group, just frontal, at least one and a half regiments of troops.

The French soldiers had not yet come out of the great power of the airship, and first of all they were attacked by a wave of infantry anti-personnel shells, about 50 kilograms of anti-personnel shells. Clearing the unprotected areas piece by piece gave the German infantry a chance, and the German Army lived up to its expectations in a matter of seconds. Fearlessly, they rushed through an area of about 100 meters and rushed into the heart of the French, and the first line of defense was occupied almost instantly. Next, there is the second line. The third line, all the lines of defense. Almost all of them were broken through by the German army, and the French troops below were beaten and cried wolf.

The German soldiers, with the support of the airship, were like a rainbow, while the French were demoralized and retreated, even if the French generals woke up from a dream and began to counterattack, they could not resist the local superiority of the German army, and under the integration of air and ground, no defense line could hold out for more than 30 minutes.

The battle, which began in the morning, lasted for a full day, and the German army broke through 29 kilometers like a bamboo, almost piercing the urban belt, and the French commander, seeing that nothing could be done, chose to retreat gloomily after losing about 40% of the mobile force, and withdrew from the urban belt.

Located in the core of the west longitudinal position, this part of the city belt, can be said to be the outermost defense line of Paris, in the original plan, the French base camp did not think that this can be defended, the lack of enough permanent fortresses, artillery and soldiers, once the German heavy artillery reinforcements come up, it is only a matter of time to break through him, but in the plan, this defensive zone, at least 15 to 20 days to resist the German army, eliminate the same number of German troops, let Germany consume part of the strength and sharpness, In this way, you can exit successfully.

Now, in less than 2 days, the French army was defeated by Germany, passively withdrew, lost more than 40% of the mobile force, most of the light weapons and all the heavy weapons, urban and logistical supplies, as well as military warehouses, these vital parts, are all returned to Germany, one plus one subtraction, the shape of France is absolutely grim, the French authorities directly called on the French military and people to work hard to resist German aggression.

The French fled in a hurry, in the danger of annihilation, and even took care of anything else, which urban agglomeration, that is, the flank of Paris, France, was also the barrier of the British landing field, before because the speed of the German advance was too fast, so that Britain and France lacked the necessary communication, almost on their own, the British army that went to the border to support was directly killed several divisions, so that the British army suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, after the defeat of France, the situation stabilized and began to build positions in the front city belt, at this time, remembering these British army groups, they immediately sent personnel to contact, asking them to march towards the city belt and prepare to build a thicker position.

It's a pity that it's too late now, and when the British vanguard is still 50 kilometers away from the city belt, this only barrier has been breached, and the current British army has no idea the situation they are in.

Crook walked into the former headquarters of the French army, the French army retreated very anxiously, a lot of things were not carried, of course, some military secrets were cleaned up, Crook did not intend to find anything from the middle, he had his own opinions and arrangements, it stands to reason that he should go to the pursuit of the French army, but then closer and closer to Paris, the urban belt is relatively dense, it is difficult to achieve big results, rather than this, it is better to look in another direction.

It is not a secret that Britain has landed in France to support the news of France, plus it has also encountered the vanguard of Britain before, and when interrogating the prisoners, I more or less know that the current size of the British army, which is another hundreds of thousands of scales, the most important thing is that he is a guest army, he does not carry a lot of heavy firepower, and it has not been completely deployed, just on the side of the coast, this is all an opportunity.

"Report to the Commander, part of the airship has been captured!" The adjutant in charge of cleaning up the seized materials took the initiative to report that he was Crook's absolute confidant and knew very well what Crook was thinking at this time.

Crook raised his eyebrows, after the start of the European war, the German Army also recognized the airship as a kind of power from the air, although it was said that the strategic force of 28 airships could not be touched, but the seizure of materials and the formation of a small airship unit belonging to the corps had always been what they were looking forward to.

Crook ordered the legion to attack the French camp as soon as possible, on the one hand, in order to grab merit, on the other hand, why not want to capture this batch of airships, don't look at the 60 airships in France, in the face of the German strategic airship troops, in a short period of time, they were completely lost and collapsed, but the remaining one-tenth of the airships are good, at least seven or eight, which is a good supplement for the corps level.

"Are you all right?"

"Intact!" The adjutant nodded and said, "We have also captured some of the airship pilots to supplement some of our enthusiasts, which should allow him to fly!" ”

The driver was unexpected, because this group of drivers, because they fled in a hurry, and did not re-put on the battlefield at the request, they were directly thrown into the detention center and locked up, and they happened to be captured by the Germans.

"Order them to take off now and focus on investigating these areas!" Crook looked at the map that had been hung up, and gave the order majestically.

The area that Crook was referring to was not the area where the French army had retreated, but in another direction, the direction leading to the sea.

The leader's instructions are a qiē, in peacetime, in the wartime barracks, even more so, the commander will not care if you have problems and difficulties, no problem to go on, if there is a problem to solve the problem, only less than 30 minutes, 8 airships completed the hydrogen filling, flew into the sky again, twisted flexibly, and fanned towards the front quickly.

48 kilometers away, the British vanguard of the three divisions, lightly armed, along the three French highways fast and slow, without the support of France, they were struggling in all aspects, there was no logistical supply, no support, not even some basic means of transportation, they crossed the sea from distant England, they could only rely on the few carriages they carried, they could only transport some necessities, yesterday because part of the food was not in place, had to stop there for a day, replenish a batch of necessary food.

Since the beginning of the landing, there have been many such delays, and this is only the vanguard of three divisions, and the subsequent armies are all in an area of more than 100 kilometers, divided into different broken advances, how can such troops have combat effectiveness.

The commander-in-chief of the British army also knew this, in addition to sending the vanguard troops, the remaining sixty or seventy percent of the troops were fixed near the landing site, relying on the French port cities to form a circle of defense lines, and only the vanguard troops in front were stable and then continued to move forward

"What's that!" In the sky ahead, a flying object appeared, causing a commotion below, a huge object, at a height of three or four hundred meters, coming quickly towards this side, and it seemed to be running in a hurry.

Airship, the commander of the British division, directly recognized what this thing was, after knowing what happened to Belgium, even if he hadn't seen it yet, he was quite wary of the airship, but this airship seemed to be a small airship, and it shouldn't have much combat effectiveness.
