The 450 ships almost plowed the arsenal, most of the warehouses were destroyed, the things in the warehouses were destroyed, and there were even explosions, but this explosion was not as good as another 250 air raids, where it even caused a big explosion, an arsenal full of high-explosive bombs and artillery shells was detonated, and 800 tons of high bombs were finally sent to the sky, causing shocks, and even dozens of kilometers around there was a noticeable shock.

Fires, explosions, and even ground tremors, no need for cable telegraph networks, the surrounding garrisons also know badly, only a small number of high-level people know the location of these arsenals, such a huge explosion and attack, there must be something wrong with the arsenal, with two arsenals around, at least 100,000 troops, began to frantically approach the direction of the arsenal, under the unified command of the British War Office, set up cards along the way, to prevent the sneak attack of special forces.

From the listener's plan, Britain has already suffered the loss of the special forces, and began to build special forces according to their understanding, but soon, the arsenal telegram came over, they encountered not a small-scale sneak attack by the special forces, but a large-scale air raid, in the firelight, they could see that the airship that was almost obscuring the sky was dropping bombs on them.

The reaction of the British was not slow, a large number of air defense units began to be dispatched, and the only remaining 300 airships were immediately urgently lifted into the air.

Their speed is still a little slower, the German airship unit is very resolute in carrying out the task, in 40 minutes, almost all the aerial bombs were dropped, and they didn't even look at the results of the battle, and immediately left without hesitation, the location of the arsenal itself is relatively far from the coast, but the British land area is not large, and there is a railway connection with the port, for convenience, the arms are transported to the ship, from the English Channel to France, at the speed of the airship, at most 30 minutes, it enters the sky above the ocean, Follow the instructions of the radio and measurement tools and return to base in batches.

Britain is at a disadvantage in the number of airships, most of their airships are distributed in London, from the receipt of the report, the bombing has begun for 10 minutes, plus the airship is inflated, ready to take off, it will take 20 minutes at the earliest, plus the assembly, by the time the airship leaves London, the German airship is ready to leave, the distance between the two sides is almost dozens of kilometers,

The troops located on the coast and the surviving troops in the arsenal have already discovered that the German airship is leaving, and the London airship has also turned according to the guidance, and when it is about 12 kilometers away from the British coastline, they hesitate, in the field of vision, they can't see the position of the other party's airship, according to estimates, there are at least ten kilometers left, the speed of the airship is about the same, even if they are faster, there is not an hour, they don't want to catch up with the other party's airship.

The commander of the airship had no way to decide, he had to ask the headquarters for instructions, when the intelligence came up, everyone knew that it had failed, and it was impossible for their airship to catch up with each other, and it did not reach the central axis of the English Channel, but before reaching the land, it was unlikely to catch up with them, who knew if the other side had an ambush, according to the position of the other side's airship, it was an area controlled by Germany, in case the other side had an ambush and some air defense forces, it would be over. In the end, the airships returned in vain and ran empty.

The German side carried out a large number of airship air raids, achieved a perfect victory, and in the end only lost 3 airships. Whether it has crossed hundreds of kilometers, or at night, even if the air defense forces are avoided, there will be mechanical failures, on land, you can land, wait for repairs, but at sea, you can only sink, and then let other airships rescue people. Fortunately, the ground personnel basically confirmed the outcome of the battle, and this time the effect was excellent, and on the whole, the destruction of the two arsenals was great, similar to what was expected, or even better.

The relationship of being sneak attacked, at least 10,000 tons of bombs were thrown everywhere in the munitions, here are either explosives, or flammables, explosions and burning, the fire caused by it is still burning, the low temperature in winter, can not offset the burning of the fire, especially in the core area, more than a thousand degrees, the temperature that can almost melt steel, is no longer a fire that can be extinguished in this era, the army responsible for guarding the arsenal, after a large number of losses, the rest of the fires can only be watched in vain, No one dared to approach the core area, so they could only rescue the surroundings, demarcate the isolation zone, and rescue some of the supplies, but only partially.

Four days later, when the fire lost its fuel, and finally slowly extinguished, the final loss figures were reported, one for 1.2 million tons of various types of military supplies, one for eight 50,000 tons of two warehouses, devastatingly damaged, and finally rescued materials, no more than 300,000 tons, almost equipped with 1.5 million people, 40,000 guns of more than 100 mm, 220,000 guns of less than 100 mm, and 300 base shells, all kinds of firearms, bullets, Almost nothing remains, and with all kinds of supplies, the loss is more than 700 million pounds.

Such a loss, even the wealthy Britain is a little speechless, just lost 1.5 million tons of merchant ships, the arsenal has been devastated, this part of the munitions, or for the Bordeaux defenders, specially spent a huge price to transport, these materials were destroyed, for the 1916 strategy, the blow is devastating.

Things have happened and there is no way to make up for it, they can only try to transport things again, but how to avoid this loss, this is a new method of attack, although Germany has always had the advantage of airships, but this advantage is almost not shown in the actual war, for the use of airships, limited to land operations, especially when the trenches are densely spread on the premise of the battle line, the airships can achieve very limited results, dense trenches, air-raid shelters, these things, block the attack of air raids, But no one expected that they would actually cross the English Channel and attack their weakest point.

Why, they will seize the opportunity so easily, why did the other party hit the location of the arsenal so accurately, from this point of view, the first thing that the British top brass and officers thought of was a leak.

The arsenal can be said to be the absolute top priority of the United Kingdom, not only reducing activities during the day, even the garrison of the arsenal is also selected after several layers of screening, the family background is clean, trustworthy, and the internal control is quite in place, even if a few spies are mixed in, what method do they use to send signals to the airships in the air.

On the day of the German airship attack, when the airship in charge of intercepting it, even with the help of the ground, some deviated from the course, which was also common when the airship group appeared, how did Germany do it and put the airship together.

Here I have to say radio, according to reason, Germany has popularized radio to the regimental level, not as good as the Chinese side can even reach the platoon, but it is not bad, airships, warships, are equipped with radio, but on the premise of clearly knowing the progress of the Entente radio, for radio, it is absolutely secret, ships, airships, and armies, as long as it is faced with failure, can not be solved under the premise, the first to destroy, must be radio, even in some dangerous places, The radios were all dispatched with explosives, so until now, the British side was a little suspicious, but they did not think that it was a radio.

Huge losses, so that the situation faced by Britain is quite severe, next, the Bordeaux front must be replenished, but the loss of a large number of merchant ships, as well as the loss of a large number of materials, so that at least within 2 months, can not complete the replenishment, itself, ready to launch a large-scale attack in 1916, and strive to get a good start in 1916, to beat down the arrogance of Germany, now, the loss of a large number of materials, it is very difficult to replenish, let alone increase the preparation for the war, The plan for the first half of 1916 was basically shattered, and it was already good that they were able to hold the front line in Bordeaux, they could only wait, but fortunately, after the start of the war, 12 battleships were ordered from the United States, which had already been launched in these days, and after a series of exercises and sun-dressing, it was expected that they would join the naval sequence before June 1916.

In the eyes of the British, what submarines, airships, are all in a different way, are not the real main force, only battleships are, 12 Queen Elizabeth class, is a battleship verified in the war, once joined, the British home fleet will be in an overwhelming advantage in the comparison with Germany, and at that time, it will be the moment when Britain regains the initiative.

In the early hours of the morning, after a night of flying, the airship in a state of high tension finally returned, and many observation posts on land did not see the British airship chasing, which made the air defense force slightly disappointed, which is equivalent to no results, and ran in vain, fortunately, the completion of the strategic task had a huge blow to the materials of the Entente, and the news was still inspiring, and even the former command of Bordeaux carried out a wave of attacks, taking advantage of the destruction of a large number of supplies, Under the premise that the artillery fire on the Bordeaux front line was insufficient, the powerful artillery fire was used as the forerunner to launch an attack on the front of just 400 kilometers, and in just 10 days, three lines of defense were broken, which basically cost the Entente a huge sacrifice, and even the protection piled up with human lives, to completely penetrate 8 kilometers, and achieved considerable results.

1915 gradually passed, 1916 was coming, at the end of 1915, the German airship troops achieved perfect results, even if it was carried out with the support of the Northwest reconnaissance aircraft, but it was the power of the German airships that supported the operation, and even such an attack was unlikely to be replicated, but it was enough to make Germany happy, after all, the previous results were achieved by Chinese submarines, and this time it was a real German result, for this, the German side did not hesitate to reward, of course, this news was also known to the British, The reconnaissance plane, a weapon of war, began to enter the field of vision of the Entente.
