The fortress of Liège did not stop Germany for more than 3 days, which was absolutely beyond Belgium's expectations, after being breached, it almost completely disrupted the plans of the Belgians, Germany was like a leisurely stroll, in one day, broke through 120 kilometers, 7 front armies, the troops were divided into three roads, and the journey was a large-scale detour, relying on the railway line, constantly marching towards the column, the Belgian army, into the formation, into the formation was annihilated, and the rest, most of them were in Brussels, the rest, Scattered across the Belgian borders, it was almost impossible to concentrate again at the speed of the German breakthrough.

The speed of the German advance was too fast, for several hours in a row, the non-stop advance, before the message arrived, it had already been occupied, and the defenders were more, just sent a farewell message, and then either surrendered, or were annihilated, the Belgian Army General Staff Headquarters and the King, who did not know what was happening, especially the Chief of Staff, was still wondering at this time, how did Germany break through the fortress of Liège, could it be that it could not be used to fly.

At about 5 o'clock in the morning, the officers who escaped from the Liège fortress at this time also fled in a roundabout way, and returned to Brussels at a considerable price, at this time the Belgian king was very strange, spent a huge amount of money, after a series of exercises, it was enough to be impregnable Liège fortress, it was so easy to be breached, this is also too unbelievable, what is going on, is it an inner ghost, or that commander has defected, I heard that there are soldiers from the Liège fortress returned, and personally summoned him, Albert was in an extremely bad mood today, and countless mysteries were haunting him about what had happened to the fortress of Liège. Why would the Germans go to war without any diplomatic exchanges?

The minds of the Germans. There is no way to find out for the time being, perhaps it is planned by Germany. However, the matter of the Liege Fortress needs to be clarified, and the soldiers who were found only learned after careful inquiry that the original final result was not the same, the Germans did not buy the commander of the Liege Fortress, and the commander did not defect, and the Germans used airships to capture the Liege Fortress. When these officers mentioned the airship, it was like seeing a demon, countless robes and fortress batteries were targeted by the airship, and the soldiers below ran around in vain, but they could not escape the range of the airship's attack.

The king's face turned pale, they had not expected this at all. The combat effectiveness of the Germans, which was already level, was probably overestimated, but when it came to the truth, it was still somewhat underestimated in the end. Not to mention the role of the airship, the toy-like airship actually has such a strong ability to attack fortifications. They don't have any way to deal with it, what to do. Let's just say the German attack, from morning to night. In just half a day, it has broken through 120 kilometers and directly invaded the hinterland of Belgium, more than 100 kilometers of land close to the German side, and was almost taken by the Germans, and the troops were directed at Brussels......

After one night, a steady stream of infantry advancing along the railway line, under the mobilization of the German staff, has approached the periphery of Brussels, the seven army groups have almost crossed the German-Belgian border, nearly a million troops, in the narrow border of Belgium, the total strength of almost more than 10 times the Belgian standing army, combat effectiveness is doubled, one side has been planning for a long time, the other side is defenseless, under all kinds of advantages, like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, yesterday may still be about 30 kilometers along the railway, By 11 a.m. today, 50 kilometres had been extended in two directions along the railway line, occupying almost a large part of Belgian territory.

The telegrams for help and emergency were like snowflakes and flew to Brussels, in the direction of Brussels, but there was nothing to be done, the most convenient way was to occupy the north by rail, and the German army was so strong that even if the personnel were mobilized, it was impossible to break through the encirclement of the German army and rescue them, but they could only watch them and resist the German artillery fire by themselves.

After a day and a night of mobilization, at present, Brussels, with 60,000 troops concentrated, urgently built fortifications, plus artillery mobilized from the rear and in stock, a total of 300 guns, should be able to resist one or two, young Albert, has never thought of compromise, the only thought in his heart is to block the footsteps of the Germans, to guard the Belgian capital.

However, the difference in strength is heaven and earth, including cavalry divisions, almost 17 divisions, more than 200,000 troops, arrived next to Brussels one after another, with superior forces, Brussels was surrounded by regiments, artillery or something also came up part, the integrity of the railway, so that Germany is easier than in history to mobilize these heavy firepower, with 70 guns per division, almost more than 1,400 guns, gathered next to Brussels, the advantage is extremely obvious.

The German army, which had already made all the preparations, was not in a hurry to attack the city, which made it very strange for the Belgians who had been prepared, some of the Belgian officers and soldiers who had participated in the Battle of Liège, some thought of something, slightly discolored, looked around, and seemed to actively look for a hiding place, when the Liege Fortress was before, there was experience, the fixed fortress must be the object of the first blow, and there was an open and unprotected area, which was simply a death zone, only some relatively low-lying dead corners, less important areas, was the best place.

These officers and soldiers who participated in the Battle of Liège really guessed correctly, they have arrived in Brussels, the reason for not attacking is to wait for the arrival of the airship, yesterday's battle, the airship played an unprecedented role, this time the arrangement did not wait, the army took the initiative to ask the airship to help, there is a shortcut not to take, who wants to storm the well-defended fortress?

Fortunately, the airship leap this distance is nothing, from Aachen to Brussels, that is, a distance of more than 100 kilometers, for the airship, it may only be an hour or two voyage, so, yesterday the airship returned to the base camp of Aachen, and spent a night to correct and replenish some supplies, no, today I got up early in the morning, took a slowly dressed airship, set off at 5 o'clock in the morning, it took more than 2 hours, crossed the distance from Aachen to Brussels, 140 kilometers, and finally arrived at about 8 o'clock in the morning, Arrived in Brussels.

There are only a few who have seen airships, at 8 o'clock, it is just the moment when the sun has just risen, when a piece of airships obscuring the sky and the sun enters Brussels, the whole of Brussels and Belgium, under this deterrence, tremble, especially those officers and soldiers who participated in the battle of Liège, they did not even take the orders of the commander, and ran away, the first line, the unprotected zone, the turret, the treadmill, was definitely the target of the first round of attacks.

Brussels is different from Liège, it is a fortress group, among the 12 fortresses on the periphery, mainly military fortresses, bombing at will, no matter how powerful the bombing is, but Brussels is the national capital, or a densely populated European city, and now Germany has not yet reached the end of the mountain, even if the war is won, it is necessary to maintain the international situation, so when formulating tactics, it is determined in detail to be careful, only to aim at a fixed target, and by the way, also look at the reaction of the Belgians.

Crossing the fortress of Liège in one day, in the Schlieffen plan, saved 2 days, coupled with the low profile of Germany and the proper blockade of the Belgian telegraph line, the possibility of news leakage was reduced to a small distance, and it was not necessary to waste so much time.

Among the 28 airships, two airships came out of the crowd, they are all airships, the Chinese bombardier level is the highest, the Chinese military ratio is the largest two, but also the two with the highest accuracy, according to the requirements, they need to jointly clear the main attack direction of the 4 firepower points, the largest of which has 12 guns of more than 155, and has 3 guns of 230 guns, the two of them need to clear together.

In the palace, Albert was also nervously waiting for news, when he heard that the German airship was coming, his heart twitched, the airship had let Germany cross the fortress of Liège, whether it could break through Brussels, he hurriedly went to the high platform, and used a telescope to observe the movement of the airship, as for whether it would be attacked, Albert at this time was no longer concerned.

Both airships were piloted by skilled pilots, and it only took a few turns to get up to the top of the target, it was still a good weather today, there was wind, but the wind was not too strong, and the bombardier had slightly confirmed the direction and strength of the wind, and he was ready to launch before the projection, and there was silence in all directions, including the Belgian troops below, most of them, like the defenders of the fortress of Liège yesterday, did not know what would happen next.

A few soldiers had already hid next to them, scolding stupid X in their mouths, and they didn't run away, but they didn't make a sound either, God knows if they would attract those demons to this place because of their shouting, which was the object of pouring iron and fire and death.

Time seems to be frozen, when the two airships open the magazine almost at the same time, the gun emplacement below, there is no reflection, the Belgian high-level has received the airship's arrogance, but there is no way to popularize, Brussels is also to defend, you can't help but resist, the huge bomb, was directly projected from the magazine, two shots together, aimed at the rear position of Brussels, a gun emplacement with 12 guns, 1500 meters altitude, less than 20 meters in more than ten seconds, the shells will fall, And the artillerymen below, still at a loss, did not know that their fate had been decided.

The two aerial shells hit the gun emplacement almost in no particular order, which was a semi-open gun emplacement, and in addition to the height and horizontal protection, the top was simply shielded. Aerial bombs can easily penetrate even 1.5 meters thick reinforced concrete, not to mention ordinary rain rides, pop through, a few seconds later, a huge explosion came, hundreds of square meters of gun emplacement, everywhere was filled with explosive fireworks, some broken artillery parts, flying around, as for people, no one thought that there were survivors inside, the first appearance of the airship in Brussels was perfect.
