Lin Gecheng immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare to set sail at night and attack the port of Guangzhou during the day.

However, the Huaxia airship took off from Hainan Island, Hainan Island is too far away from Guangzhou Port, if the base can be placed in Macao, it will be much closer, but after Lin Gecheng put this suggestion to Lin Fei, Lin Fei vetoed, Lin Fei believes that Macao is too close to the Qing Kingdom, and it is too dangerous to put the top-secret airship base under the nose of the Qing Kingdom.

Lin Gecheng can only continue to set off from Hainan Island and attack the port of Guangzhou, at this time Lin Gecheng does not know that the Japanese airship has quietly arrived in Guangzhou, and is preparing to tear the four Monkey King airships to pieces, if Lin Gecheng is still attacking at night, then the Japanese airship will not be able to find the Monkey King airship, but Lin Gecheng changed his mind and wants to attack during the day, then the battle between the two sides will be inevitable.

On this day, December 10, 1898, at 10 o'clock in the morning, Lin Gecheng led four Monkey King airships to fly over the port of Guangzhou again, Lin Gecheng knew that the Qing army had installed camouflage facilities for the barracks, so he ordered his subordinates to reduce the height of the airship to 1,000 meters, so that it was easier to find the Qing army barracks.

Flying to the port of Guangzhou during the day, there is a different scene, in the spacious river, a Qing army ships sail back and forth, there are sailboats, there are also steam-powered ships, Lin Gecheng wants to bomb those ships fiercely, but he can't blow them up at all, 105 mm caliber grenades are thrown down from the airship, the landing point deviation is huge, the ships are still moving, and it is impossible to bomb them accurately.

Although the Qing army barracks were camouflaged, their camouflage was not strict, camouflage technology is a profound knowledge, not something that can be mastered for a while, plus the four Monkey King airships removed a Grimm fast cannon and cannonballs, equipped with a reconnaissance module, so the Qing army camp was still discovered.

Lin Gecheng immediately ordered: "First use the Grimm fast cannon to attack the Qing army camp." ”

Four Monkey King airships operated three Grimm fast guns, and fired cannonballs towards the Qing army barracks, the Grimm fast guns are automatic in the principle of turning the tube, the operator turns the handle, and the six fifteen mm barrels shoot out the shells in turn, making a "all pass" sound, and the barrels gush out black smoke, forming a black cloud in the sky.

The Qing soldiers on the ground had already seen the four Monkey King airships, and Yuan Shikai, in order not to cause panic among the Qing soldiers, kept the matter of attacking them airships secret, so that ordinary soldiers of the Qing army did not know that the things that attacked them were airships.

Qing Bing didn't dare to imagine that there would be something flying in the sky, and that thing could also shoot cannonballs, and from the ground, the four Monkey King airships in the sky were simply four terrifying monsters!

The Qing soldiers were so frightened that they cried and shouted for their mothers, and fled in all directions, shouting as they ran: "The heavenly soldiers are coming, hurry up!" The Qing army officers couldn't stop drinking at all, and when the Qing soldiers were fleeing, four Monkey King airships flew over the barracks, and Ringo gave the final order: "Throw down the grenade!" ”

The bombardier opened the door of the bomb dropping compartment and threw down the grenade, this time the grenade did not cause much damage to the Qing army, because the Qing army expanded the distance between the tents, and the shock wave of a grenade explosion could no longer destroy several tents at the same time, and it was difficult for the grenade to accurately land on the top of the tent.

Lin Gecheng watched the grenades explode in the open space, frowned secretly, and thought that the first thing he would do when he went back was to report to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to equip us with special aerial bombs as soon as possible.

Twenty minutes passed, and the four Monkey King airships had all the shells and all the grenades, and then they were ready to return, and Lin Gecheng couldn't have imagined that the Japanese army had also sent airships, so he didn't leave any shells for self-defense!

The Monkey King airship is about to face a major crisis!

Just as the four Monkey King airships were flying towards the base, the seventy-two variant airships flying at the end of the queue suddenly sent a report: "Captain, behind us, a flying thing has been found, and its identity is unknown. ”

Ringo was stunned, something that can fly, what is it?

Lin Gecheng hurriedly grabbed the binoculars and looked behind the seventy-two variants, and what caught his eye was an airship, and in the center of the airship airbag was a huge red circle, and the airship airbag was white, with a red circle, which was completely like the Japanese flag.

Huaxia and Japan have fought several times, and they are very familiar with the Japanese army's identification marks of friend and foe, and the red sun circle is Japan's identification mark of friend and foe, and the airship in front of him is actually the Japanese airship.

Lin Gecheng was not small, on the one hand, he was surprised that the Japanese army also had an airship, and on the other hand, he was surprised that the Japanese army brought the airship to participate in the war.

I saw that the size of the airbag of the Japanese airship was about the same as that of the Monkey King, but their pod was three times the size of the Monkey King's airship, which means that the load capacity of the Japanese airship was much larger than that of the Monkey King's airship.

The Japanese airship was equipped with ten Grimm guns, while the Monkey King airship, under the condition of being equipped with a fire strike module, only had four, and the firepower was judged.

Lin Gecheng saw that there were so many Grimm fast guns on the Japanese airship, and his brows suddenly tightened, the firepower of the Japanese airship was so strong, ten Grimm fast guns, counting the shells carried, plus the combat personnel and various equipment, should weigh five or six tons, the technology of the Japanese airship was so advanced that the load capacity was three times that of our Monkey King airship!

In fact, Lin Gecheng didn't know at this time that the reason why the carrying capacity of the Japanese airship was so large was not because of how advanced their technology was, but because they replaced the filling gas in the airbag with hydrogen.

Japanese airship technology originated from France, France filled the airship with air, and the buoyancy was generated by heating, and the French airship design idea was the same as Lin Fei, which would rather sacrifice the performance of the airship than ensure safety.

However, when the airship technology arrived in Japan, Japanese engineers found that if the filling gas was replaced with hydrogen, the air heating equipment could be omitted, and the load capacity of the airship would be greatly improved, so the Japanese engineers advocated replacing the filling gas with hydrogen.

However, the French engineers disagreed, and the French engineers believed that it was too dangerous to replace the filling gas with hydrogen, and the airship crew should not take such a risk, and the Japanese and French engineers were at a stalemate, and finally fought in front of the head of the armament section of the War Department.

The section chief made a decision on the spot, using hydrogen as a filling gas, and His Majesty's soldiers were ready to sacrifice themselves for the emperor at any time, so Japan filled the airship with hydrogen, giving Lin Gecheng an extremely strong state.

Lin Gecheng didn't know the tricks in the Japanese airship, he saw that the firepower of the Japanese airship was so strong, he couldn't help but ooze cold sweat on his forehead, ten Grimm fast cannons, even if our Monkey King airship is full, it may not be able to win, not to mention that now we don't have shells, how can this battle be fought!

I can't fight, I can only run.

Lin Gecheng immediately used the Jade Bird machine to order: "Attention of all units, retreat at full speed, throw down the ballast, and raise the altitude to two thousand meters." ”

"Understood!" The captains of the four Monkey King airships agreed in unison, started the internal combustion engine to maximum power, and threw down all the water bags loaded on both sides of the airship, which were used to provide drinking water on the one hand and as ballast on the other.

The four airships climbed at a speed of 500 meters per minute, and at the same time the speed gradually increased to 70 kilometers per hour, and the Japanese airship behind was overjoyed when it saw it, and the captain Yuki Uizawa hurriedly ordered: "The airship of the pig is to escape, hurry up and speed up, catch up with it, and shoot it down!" ”

Haysawa Yuki was originally a lieutenant, once served as a military attache in France, obsessed with airships, and wanted to form an airship special attack team, but in such a hierarchical army as the Japanese army, Haysawa Yuki's ambitions could not be displayed at all, in the South Seas World War, Lin Fei used submarines to beat the British and French combined fleet, which stimulated the Meiji Emperor to sleep all day long, and wanted to equip the Japanese army with new weapons.

Seeing that the opportunity had come, Yuki Hayazawa took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as the captain of the airship special attack team, he was bent on making a big difference, and today he encountered four Monkey King airships, how could he let it go?

While ordering the airship to speed up, Yuki Haysawa ordered to turn the muzzle of the gun and fire at the four Monkey King airships, there can be ten Grimm fast guns on the Japanese airship, and the shooting scene is much more spectacular than the Monkey King airship, for a time the fire was everywhere, the smoke was flying, and the rays from the ten tracer bullets shot at the four Monkey King airships.

The Monkey King airship and the Japanese airship are more than ten kilometers apart, and the Japanese airship is under the Monkey King's airship, so none of the Japanese airship's shells hit the Monkey King airship, and the Chinese soldiers on the Monkey King airship looked at the flying cannonballs, hating the root of their teeth, but unfortunately not a single shell could be found in the bullet magazine of the Monkey King's airship.

In this process, the two advantages of the Monkey King airship are reflected, one is the original German internal combustion engine, the other is the aluminum alloy skeleton, and the Japanese airship uses a Japanese domestic internal combustion engine, the airbag is still soft, and there is no skeleton, resulting in the speed is not the opponent of the Monkey King airship at all.

The Japanese airship chased the Monkey King airship for more than 20 minutes, and seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger, Haysawa Yuki could only reluctantly give the order to stop the pursuit and return home, and the Japanese airship could only return in a huff.

Lin Gecheng was slightly relieved to see the Japanese airship returning, and secretly thought in his heart, the Japanese airship is very strong, can we win the battle?
