The raging flames were like a fiery red monster that kept expanding, changing, stretching its huge body, mercilessly devouring all the surrounding ones, those anti-aircraft guns, armored turrets, and the French soldiers who fled in a hurry were all submerged and disappeared in an instant, and the huge fire even swallowed up a German fighter that could not dodge.

The French soldiers on the fortress of Verdun who were shooting into the sky were all dumbfounded, staring at the raging flame monster in amazement. But at this moment, another airship that was originally behind came around from the other side of the fire area, and then suddenly scattered a dense number of small black dots from under the pod.

The French soldiers, who were still resisting, did not hesitate to abandon their anti-aircraft positions and burrow into the underground bunkers like crazy after seeing the coagulated shells that were gradually getting bigger.

Half of the hundred solidified qiyou shells that fell from a height of two thousand meters hit the huge fortress, and in an instant, flames rose and drowned the surrounding qiē. By this time, there was no anti-aircraft fire over the entire Verdun fortress, and all the soldiers were frightened into hiding underground what they thought was safe, and several anti-aircraft positions around the fortress became the main targets of German fighter attacks. The waiting airships immediately began to move forward one by one, smashing all the coagulated bullets they were carrying on the Verdun fortress, and in just a few minutes, the fortress had been completely engulfed in flames, not only that, but even all the pond fish within a radius of hundreds of meters around it, a huge torch with a diameter of nearly two kilometers burned in the land ravaged by artillery fire, and the flames rose hundreds of meters high.

This spectacle made even the Germans who were preparing to attack stupid, and as for the French soldiers who were hiding in the trenches and waiting for the enemy to charge, they forgot about the PAO bullets that fell from time to time around them, and looked dumbfounded at the fortress that they regarded as impregnable, of course, they could no longer see the fortress.

And at this time in the rear of the battle line in the French General Headquarters. Admiral Gariani, who was in charge of the Verdun Line, looked at the staff officers who were desperately making phone calls, no one expected that the German coagulation shells would be so ferocious, although the defenders of the Verdun fortress were all underground, but the bad news was still coming one after another. The intense burning overhead had drained almost all of the air inside the fortress, and the turrets with a large number of soldiers were losing contact one by one, and a large number of French soldiers who could not stand suffocation were trampling themselves in the narrow underground passages where supplies were transported, ignoring the orders of their commanders, trying to escape the horrors of hell behind them.

By now, the fire had been burning for half an hour, and even some of the armor plates that protected the fortress were burned red and melted. Some of the ammunition in the turret began to explode, and the German airships continued to drop coagulated qiyou shells into the flames, and the airships that had completed the bombing were returning, from Verdun to Metz, where they took off, for a maximum of half an hour, and it was clear that the Germans had stockpiled enough coagulated qiyou shells there, and these airships would return after reloading, so that the fire of Verdun would continue to burn until the steel was burned. Burn the clay into lumps and turn a qiē life into ashes.

"This is the Demon Flame of Hell, the devil released by the Germans from Hell, order the front-line troops to prepare to retreat to Saint-Mière!" Garieni said to his chief of staff, Foch, with some chatter.

It should be said that he is a smart man. The reason why the Verdun salient stubbornly held on to the east and west of the German army was entirely due to this fortress, which was obviously finished, and the Germans would not stop until it was burned to ashes. In situations where they cannot be stopped in the air. All these airships had to do was to be a simple porter, transported from Metz to solidify the qiyou bombs and thrown into the fire of Verdun, which was produced by German factories and sent by rail to Metz. The next battle was as simple as that, the Germans could pour thousands, tens of thousands of tons of coagulated qiyou shells on Verdun.

Without the fortress of Verdun, their infantry could easily cut through the French in the frontline trenches and wipe them out, and there was no point in defending again, it was better to save their strength and retreat south, leveling the original salient at the Saint-Michaelt and Marne lines.

As for the future, he couldn't find a means to restrain the Germans in this tactic, and he really didn't know what to do in the future.

In this way, when the torch of Verdun was still burning, the French troops in the trenches around this fortress began to withdraw from their positions one after another, and the German troops opposite them did not take the opportunity to attack, the target of the German General Staff was only the Verdun salient, since the French army had retreated, then they could wait for Shun Lì to receive it, so far the German army had paid more than 1.5 million casualties for this war, and there was no need to die too many people for a target that had already been reached.

According to the news sent back by the reporters who went to cover the next day, the cannons of the Verdun fortress were burned, and even the sand on the ground was burned into glass balls, and thousands of French corpses were suffocated and killed inside, and many of the corpses were steamed by high temperature, and a large number of people trampled each other to death when they escaped in the underground passage, and the hellish scene made those reporters vomit without exception.

But the ferocity of this hellfire also made the generals of the Entente very worried, they really couldn't think of any way to deal with this kind of thing, and what made them even more worried was that according to the information obtained by their spies, the main ingredient of this terrifying weapon was very simple, very cheap, that is, gasoline, the only special thing was to add a special material to turn the original liquid gasoline into a semi-solid state to facilitate the loading of the bomb.

This also means that the Germans can squander on the battlefield without restraint, they have the Romanian oil fields in their hands, and they produce more than 10 million tons per year. As for whether the strength of the German industry has the ability to manufacture a million tons of coagulated qiyou bombs, this really does not need to be considered, compared with the tedious processes of producing zha medicine, it is obvious that this thing is simpler to manufacture, the most terrible thing about this weapon is here, its power is not very much a headache for Britain and France, their headache is its cost.

The only way is to intercept the airships that threw it in the air, but the performance of the German aircraft has an advantage, and the Germans can't beat the Germans in the sky, and the rest is to increase the density of anti-aircraft fire on the ground, and take a large number of anti-aircraft guns to protect themselves, but this is never a way, now the Germans are just bombing with airships, and the next step is that they put the coagulated qiyou bombs on the plane and burn the anti-aircraft guns first, and then let the airships do something?

At the end of the day, you have to have planes, more advanced planes.

"Buy a fighter? How can this work, we are a neutral country, we cannot sell arms! Yang Feng said righteously. He didn't expect that the British sent to return the relics of the Old Summer Palace was actually the fool's younger brother Prince of Wales, that is, George V in the original history, and the two had fun together for many years and were old friends, and now he made a special trip to buy fighter jets for himself, which is indeed not easy to refuse.

And judging from the current situation, Britain and France are indeed forced to be in a hurry, otherwise they would not have looked directly for themselves in this way, after all, if the German army really has to completely freeze qiyou in the future, they really have nothing to do.

However, in this case, it is also very bad for the war to drag on, and Emperor Yang wants Europe to continue to fight, not the Germans to continue to advance vigorously.

"Your Majesty, with the friendship between us for more than ten years, I don't think you want to see the young men of England continue to struggle in the vicious flames of the Germans, do you? Did you know that when Italy entered the war, hundreds of thousands of British girls on the banks of the Thames held up your portraits and cheered, and I don't think you want to see them cry for their loved ones, do you? Prince George said with a smile, and I have to say that his mind is much stronger than his brother's.

"Oh, George, you're really embarrassing me, and you know that I don't want the killing in Europe to continue, but neither of you listens to my advice, and I have no choice but to remain impartial and neutral, after all, you are all my friends. Last time, because of your demands, I had already cancelled the deal for the Germans' planes, and if the planes were to be sold to Britain now, how would you let me explain it to Wilhelm? Yang Feng said with an embarrassed face.

"Your Majesty, how about we take a compromise approach, China does not export fighter jets to Britain, but to a certain neutral country, and then they export it to Britain, and as for this neutral country, it can be designated by you or by us." Prince George said.

What he means is that if Yang Feng wants to let one of his younger brothers earn a transfer fee, then he can designate one himself, like the Ottoman Empire or Spain, Mexico or whatever, it's a big deal that we spend a little more money, if you don't want to do this, we'll find one ourselves.

"No, no, this won't work, what's the difference between such words and deceiving people, you know that I never deceive people." Yang Feng said shamelessly.

Prince George looked at him with a smile and waited for his next step.

"However, now the Kunpeng company still has a new aircraft design, China has no air pressure, can be sold to the UK first, of course, some of the things needed on this aircraft, such as the engine or something, must still be provided by China, anyway, the rest are some wood plywood canvas or something, you are very simple to manufacture, the performance of this aircraft should be enough to deal with the German plane, your problem is nothing more than that you can't stop their airship in the sky, as long as you can block the airship, There is no danger if their zha bombs don't reach your head. Yang Feng then said. (To be continued......)
