Xie Huaishan shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers, don't care what kind of bird eggs are flying in the sky, hit me, let go of the fight." ”

The rifleman pointed the muzzle of the gun at the sky, pulled the trigger, and fired three bursts.

The co-gunner grabbed the bipod with both hands, raised it above his head, and pointed the gun at the sky, while the Heavy fired from behind.

The grenadiers also took action, using grenadiers to throw grenades into the sky.

However, the French airship was 800 meters above the ground, and at this height, the bullets on the ground could not hit at all, let alone the grenades.

However, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army did not understand this truth, they still thought that the things in the sky had a demon law and could avoid all bullets, and even greater panic spread among the Huaxia Army.

The French airship in the sky was closer to the trench, and at this time, I saw a large number of things fall from the airship, directly near the trench, and as soon as those things landed, they emitted a deafening explosion and dazzling firelight, and countless killing fragments flew out of the firelight, shooting at the soldiers.

In order to hit the airship in the sky, the soldiers all stood in the trenches, all above the chest were exposed, and the fragments of the destruction shot into the chest, and many soldiers immediately fell to the ground, screaming incessantly.

The monsters in the sky even threw bombs! This made the soldiers of the Huaxia Army even more afraid, although the soldiers of the Huaxia Army fought bravely, but after all, they were human beings and not gods, as long as they were people, they would feel fear, especially in the face of unknown horrors.

The airship is closer to the trench, the bullets are more dense, the bombs are more accurate, and there are more and more Chinese soldiers on the ground, and the Chinese soldiers on the ground can't hit the airship in the sky at all!

When the airship reached the trench, it suddenly changed its course, moved sideways along the trench, and threw bombs while shooting, which caused even greater damage to the Huaxia army!

The trench was covered with the corpses of the soldiers of the Chinese Army, filled with the screams of the soldiers of the Chinese Army, and finally some soldiers could not bear the fear, rushed into the traffic trench, and fled to the rear line of defense.

There are even people in Lin Fei's army who dare to be deserters! Xie Huaishan was so angry that he wanted to shoot the deserter, but he relented for a moment and put down the gun he raised.

There were more and more people who fled, and there were many soldiers who died, Xie Huaishan had no choice but to give the order to retreat, and the Eighth Regiment withdrew from the first line of defense as a whole and entered the second line of defense, and the French army took advantage of the victory to pursue and attack the first line of defense.

The French took advantage of the situation and stopped the offensive after overcoming the first line of defense.

This day is May 7, 1898, a day that will be engraved forever in the world's military history, this is the first time that mankind has used airships to fight, but unfortunately, this glorious record is not written by Lin Fei's Huaxia Army, but by the opponents of the Huaxia Army.

When the French airship flew over the trenches, Lin Fei only got the news that the French army was using air monsters, the reason why there was such a big time delay was because the news arrived at Lin Fei after the three-tier command system of brigades, divisions, and group armies.

When Lin Fei heard the name "Monster in the Air", he thought that the Monster in the Sky was an airplane, which scared him out of a cold sweat, if the French made an airplane and realized the strength of the plane, then France would be difficult to fight, and then he heard the description of his subordinates, and then he understood that the thing used by the French was an airship, and his heart was slightly relaxed.

Lin Fei knew very well that the airship could fly at an altitude of several hundred meters and one thousand meters, and rifles and machine guns could not hit so high, you must know that the flat range of machine gun bullets was only a little more than a thousand meters, and if it was fired, the kinetic energy needed to be converted into gravitational potential energy, and the range would inevitably be sharply reduced.

Lin Fei then gave the order to retreat, but before the order could be called to the command room, the Eighth Regiment fled, and the news that the French army occupied the first line of defense came back.

When Lin Fei heard that his troops had broken and fled, his eyes were so angry that he almost fainted, sat on a chair with weak legs, pointed out the door tremblingly, and slowed down for a minute before he spoke, "Go and call the commander of the Eighth Regiment, Xie Huaishan, to me." ”

The staff officers hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty is angry......"

"Stop talking nonsense, call me someone quickly."

The time was not long, and the herald came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Commander Xie Huaishan is here." ”

Lin Feitie's face was blue, "Let him in." The herald turned around and went out, and when it was not long to see Xie Huaishan, who was tied up with five flowers, walked in, Xie Huaishan's face was full of shame and shame, he came to Lin Fei's face, his knees were weak, and he fell to the ground, "Your Majesty, Xie Huaishan did not restrain his subordinates, and the crime deserves death, just ask Your Majesty not to put the fault on the brothers, just kill me." ”

Lin Fei had a cold face, he didn't speak for a long time, there was no sound in the command room, and everyone slowed down their breathing, for fear that they would catch the attention of others if they were panting.

Lin Fei waved his hand, "Untie Xie Huaishan's rope for me." ”

The two guards went up to untie Xie Huaishan's rope, and Lin Fei asked coldly, "How many people have died and how many have you been injured in your regiment?" ”

Xie Huaishan suddenly cried bitterly, "Two hundred and four died, and two hundred and fifteen were injured. ”

Lin Fei nodded gloomily and said, "Go back and take care of the aftermath." Lin Fei turned around, tears rolling in his eyes, fighting small Vietnam, and losing more than 200 brothers.

Xie Huaishan asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, you don't punish me?" ”

Lin Fei turned around suddenly, glared at Xie Huaishan and said angrily: "Don't punish you, think beautifully, you go back and change the number of your regiment to me, what is the Eighth Regiment of the Third Brigade of the First Division, in the future, your regiment will be renamed the 'Escape Regiment', all your official documents must be written about the Escape Regiment, when your regiment has made great contributions, this 'Escape Regiment' hat can be taken off, understand?" ”

Giving this regiment such a shameful name made Xie Huaishan even more uncomfortable than killing Xie Huaishan, and Xie Huaishan immediately begged: "Your Majesty xià ......"

"Shut up, get out of here!" Lin Fei directly reprimanded, Xie Huaishan walked away in a gray manner, Lin Fei was still angry, and sat in the room with a blue color.

At this time, staff officer Li Tianqian walked to Lin Fei's side and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, let's think about how to deal with the French army's air monster, this air monster is not easy to deal with, according to the front-line troops, our bullets can't hit it at all." ”

Lin Fei nodded and said, "If the enemy's airship is in the sky, it is indeed difficult for us to fight, but if the enemy's airship falls to the ground, it will not be a problem to fight, you go and call Zhang Jiancheng, the captain of the rapid reaction force, to me." ”

Zhang Jiancheng quickly rushed over, and when he saw Lin Fei, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to kill the mysterious air monster of the French army?" ”

Lin Fei was stunned, "How do you know?" ”

Zhang Jiancheng smiled obscenely, "I guessed, you know me, I'm ice and snow smart, no matter what the monster in the air is, it will definitely not be able to fly in the sky forever, one day it will land." ”

Lin Fei nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, you are indeed very smart, this is also the reason why I reuse you, the things used by the French army, called airships, are similar to our hot air balloons, they all use gas buoyancy to float in the sky, it will indeed land, your task is to find the airship that has landed, and then kill it." ”

Zhang Jiancheng's face was suspicious, and he was puzzled: "Your Majesty, the French airship is very mysterious, so it must be under the heavy protection of the enemy, can I kill it?" ”

"No, you're wrong, it's because the French airship is very mysterious, so the French army will put it in a place where there are fewer people, so that it has a secret effect, since there are fewer people, you have the opportunity to exploit loopholes."

Zhang Jiancheng nodded, "Yes, I understand, I'll go now!" Zhang Jiancheng saluted solemnly, and then put on a lewd smile: "Your Majesty, do you want me to catch the beautiful Princess Ruan Fu Baojiao for you......"

Zhang Jiancheng made a joke, Lin Fei was not angry, but said with a smile: "If I let you arrest Ruan Fu Baojiao, you will definitely arrest the wrong person again, and I don't know which village girl I will arrest when the time comes......"

Zhang Jiancheng smiled embarrassedly, went back to prepare, Zhang Jiancheng asked the soldiers who had seen the airships, where did those airships fly away, the soldiers pointed out the direction, southwest, Zhang Jiancheng immediately decided, while it was daytime, immediately rode a fast horse and went to the southwest to search.

Zhang Jiancheng led ten cavalry to search to the southwest, but in the vast wilderness and woods, where can I see the airship?

Zhang Jiancheng searched blankly for an hour, and found nothing, only then did he realize that such a search would not work, and he could not find the airship at all, Zhang Jiancheng looked up and saw a few old farmers sitting in the fields on the side of the road, Zhang Jiancheng waved his hand and called for a Vietnamese translator, "You go and ask those old farmers, have you seen a flying thing passing by." ”

The Vietnamese interpreter rushed to the old farmer, came back after some inquiry, and said to Zhang Jiancheng: "Captain, the old farmer said that he had seen the airship, and that the airship went south. ”

Zhang Jiancheng immediately said "chase", and the group ran to the south, crossed a hill, and a well-organized military camp appeared in front of Zhang Jiancheng, and inside the barracks, there were four large pieces of cloth.

It turns out that the French airship is a soft airship, this kind of airship does not have the hard skeleton of a zeppelin, and it will deflate if it is not inflated, Li Zhixiu said that the mysterious weapon she has seen is covered with cloth, in fact, the cloth she saw is the airship itself.
