@@@@@

In the early morning of May 3, blood and fire spread over the small town of Bazangkul on the banks of the Aisne River.

In the rubble of the town, a herald bent over and ran quickly, but no matter where he went, he could no longer see any intact buildings, corpses, explosions, gunsmoke, blood, and fire, which were rarely seen in peacetime, became the main theme, but anyone who looked at it for three days was afraid that only numbness and stiffness remained. "Captain Li." As soon as the heralds rushed to the town church and shouted, the Germans resting in the distance immediately pounced on a dozen bullets, and at the same time, the expeditionary force positions near the church also counterattacked them with a barrage of bullets. Seeing that he was in trouble, the herald hurriedly closed his mouth and jumped into the nearest short trench, and a lazy donkey rolled into the trench only to find that Commander Li, who had been looking for a long time, was fighting the Western Front with more than a dozen Chapter 431! (xii) The soldier is smoking a cigarette and squinting at him.

After firing at each other for a while, the two sides quickly stopped this senseless action. The herald breathed a sigh of relief, put on his crooked steel helmet and saluted, "Commander Li, the commander told you to withdraw to the woods to the west. "Commander Li is actually Li Yuguo, the Guangxi regiment commander who went south to Jiangxi with Yang Qiu and disintegrated the Jiangxi army with his backhand never thought that he would one day lie in the trench like an infantry and arch his ass to fight, but last night because the reserves were exhausted, he could only personally bring all the personnel of the regiment headquarters to support the position, fortunately, the night was too dark and the German army had to temporarily stop after heavy casualties, and finally withstood this wave of attack.

"Commander Yue is here! Well, why withdraw? "Now everyone knows that the siege of the Shire Valley and Rainvale to the east has begun, and it seems that if it lasts for another two or three days, it will be won. So he was puzzled by the sudden retreat to the wooded area, and asked, "What's the matter, something happened to General Zhang?" ”

"I arrived in the middle of the night last night, and I brought two reserve divisions in the woods to the west. Rainyvale's side was fine, saying everything was going according to plan. He also said that last night was very fierce and he had successfully narrowed the encirclement. The herald said: "The reconnaissance plane is fighting on the Western Front in Chapter 431!" (12) Later, it was found that the two fresh divisions of the German devils were coming, and they could arrive in half an hour at the latest. So the commander told you to withdraw and stay out of the limelight for a while. ”

Two divisions?

Li Yuguo's face has changed! He didn't even ask much about Yue Peng's arrival at the front line. There are already at least 6 German divisions on the opposite side, and now there are 2 more German devils who are crazy? But just as he jumped to his feet, a distinctive scream burst through the air. He had participated in the Battle of Qingdao, and his face changed suddenly. Heavy artillery over 200 mm ?!

In the distance, on Mount Zabal, which had been repeatedly contested for three days, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and after the German army could not be attacked, it finally took out all its strength. Heavy artillery began to be used to clear the road. At the same time that Li Yuguo's face changed greatly, he hurriedly ordered a retreat, and at the same time that the infantry retreated backwards like a tide, four Haidongqing reconnaissance/fighter planes in the sky formed a single-wing formation and swept over their heads and went north.

Xue Muhua in the cabin had a gloomy face, if he hadn't been flying in this generation for a long time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to imagine that the shapeless pile of rubble was a beautiful town on the banks of the Aisne River.

The war eagle that swept at low altitude suddenly shook, as if something was holding its wings and quickly climbed dozens of meters high. Xue Muhua controlled the plane and looked down, a hundred-meter-high black smoke rose from Zabal Mountain in the north of the small city, and the hot air that was flying upwards even affected the altitude of 2,000 meters! In the distance, an armored train sticking out of its long barrel on the railroad was hideous. That's what they had to destroy early this morning. A German armored train with a 240-mm siege howitzer. Such trains and siege guns were supposed to be used for fortifications, but now they were brought in to bombard worthless hills, which shows what the Germans were in a hurry about!

The more anxious the enemy is, the more victory is at hand. But the question is, can the army comrades who have been fighting for two days and three nights still hold on? The tens of thousands of corpses that littered the war zone undoubtedly told them about the pilots. The battles on the ground were brutal, bloody and even terrifying. Although the air force has also undertaken small tasks such as sky blocking and ground bombing many times, it is impossible for either a twin-mounted fanged heavy machine gun or a 50-kilogram bomb to really change anything, unless the enemy headquarters is found in hundreds of thousands of troops, but this is only delusional. On the contrary, as both sides of the war began to be equipped with specialized anti-aircraft guns, the air force lost several fighters in just a few days, including several ace pilots.

OK. Today is different!

He turned his head to see that 12 large planes had already appeared in the white clouds behind him.

Yu Lei didn't know that the captain had pinned all his hopes on himself, in fact, he didn't even dare to look at the battlefield below, because his bomber was fighting with the air current. The wide wings, which are several times longer than Haidongqing, make this Dapeng bomber, which was officially installed in 1915, very susceptible to air currents, not to mention that at this moment there is a large 500-kilogram bomb hanging under the belly of the plane, as if it is setting up a heavy ox cart.

In fact, the Dapeng bomber was already considered the best bomber of this era, but after arriving in France, it was rarely dispatched. The reason is ridiculous, because Britain and France could not find large bombs at their disposal. In fact, it is okay to hang small bombs, but after years of research, everyone found that even if the whole body is full of 50 kg of small bombs, it is not cost-effective for large bombers, and only large bombs of more than 100 kg are suitable for it. As for the bombs ordered later, they were shipped from Britain, but then a large number of British and French experts and designers surrounded Dapeng, and at that time the expeditionary force had already ended the 100-day campaign, so there was no task. British and French experts came because they found that the Dapeng bomber and the German Gotha bomber are very similar, in fact, the two are really the same thing, but the shape has been slightly modified, if there is any difference, that is, the Dapeng uses 2 280 horsepower V8 water-cooled engines, and also modifies the propeller to make it more efficient, while Gotha uses 2 260 horsepower engines, not to mention the small power, it also uses a four-person cabin, and the Dapeng is a three-person cabin.

Britain and France did not buy the Dapeng bomber patent after reference, but they bought the manufacturing patent for the Haidongqing and V8 engines, and the price is said to be millions of pounds. But it's good that they didn't buy the Roc bomber. Because there are only 50 bombers in China, in addition to the small number of pilots and manufacturing difficulties, the main reason is the lack of domestic needs to use it, so the newly formed Chongqing is already tackling higher-level aircraft.

Yu Lei didn't have the heart to think about what new planes he could get after returning to China, he only hoped to drop heavy bombs on the heads of the Germans as soon as possible to help his army comrades. The buzzing roar attracted the attention of the Germans, and some shelling sparks began to appear on the ground, and he was also a little nervous when he created the "Yu Lei Turn" that shocked the world. Because before dropping the bomb, the 12 Dapeng bombers had no evasion ability at all.

Fortunately, the German field anti-aircraft firepower was not good, at least not as good as the expeditionary force that relied on a large number of fangs and heavy machine guns, so Yu Lei led the team to quickly fly to the top of the German armored train.

Bombing.

500 kg of bombs whizzed to the ground. But just one glance at Yu Lei knew that it was outrageous. Sure enough, the bomb fell 500 meters to the left of the train, although the power of the 500-kilogram bomb was several times greater than that of the world's largest caliber naval guns, and it instantly swallowed dozens of German soldiers near the explosion site. But he was still not satisfied with the failure to destroy the main target, and could only pin his hopes on his teammates.

The second Roc also missed the target, and the third didn't even explode! The fourth, fifth, and bombers dropped bombs from an altitude of 2,000 meters, blowing up all around the train but did not hit the main owner. Just when everyone was extremely discouraged, the ninth Dapeng was suddenly affected by the explosive air flow, and the nose of the plane sank and appeared a small-angle dive attitude. The Dapeng bomber could not dive, because it was very easy to disintegrate in the air, so the pilot had to reluctantly drop the bomb in order to save the plane, but this bomb made a wonderful arc and landed less than 5 meters to the left of the train.

Boom in a violent explosion. The German armored train that was preparing to evacuate with black smoke seemed to have been sucked down by something, the steel plate on the left side was twisted instantly, hundreds of artillerymen operating siege guns were overturned by the air waves, and the ammunition truck in the middle was also quickly derailed, and the bracket of the siege gun was also skewed. At least until the repair is made, this guy can't threaten his infantry comrades. The bomber that completed the mission began to return, only Yu Lei continued to turn around a few times, still thinking about the scene after the fighter suddenly dived just now, and secretly thought that there was a fighter that could dive and drop bombs, would it have a higher hit rate? He later wrote a report with the pilot who had hastily dropped the bomb because of the air currents, and because of this report, the airframe was stronger. The more powerful front-line support bomber appeared in the Wehrmacht sequence and evolved into the famous dive bomber many years later.

"Report, the town's troops have withdrawn, and the bombers have taken out the armored train!"

In the front-line command post, the staff officers clenched their fists and looked excited, and they could see that everyone was scared by the 240-mm siege artillery. Think about it, a shell fell dozens or hundreds of people into nothing, and no matter how strong the troops were, they couldn't withstand this kind of bombardment. But the answer to him was three words faintly: "Got it." ”

Yue Peng waved his hand, not only did he not have any joy on his face, but he became more and more dignified.

Last night, when he learned that the 88th Armored Brigade and the 103rd Division had turned around and headed south, he and Cai Ye acted separately. The latter and Foch went to the most crucial part of the Charr Valley to oversee the war, and he came here to take charge himself. Upon arrival, the situation was better than expected, and the Germans later only added one division, and after a hard battle, five interceptor divisions finally blocked the attack. However, the situation deteriorated two hours ago, and Xue Muhua, who ventured deeper, brought back news that two German infantry divisions were approaching here, and about 100 A7V tanks had arrived at the railway station 15 kilometers away.

This means that in one hour at most, a full 8 German infantry divisions and 100 tanks will appear in front of you!

If you want to be a good general, you must first know the capabilities of both the enemy and the enemy. In fact, he knew very well that, except for a few main divisions in China, these soldiers who had only received half a year's training could not compete with the German army, which had been fighting for nearly three years. The strength of the expeditionary force is in the tactics, and once you get out of your favorite tactics, it's a different force entirely! The fact that the Rainywell-Charles Valley was able to encircle the German First Army and seize the initiative was entirely due to repeated movements and surprises, and even then he dared to make up his mind to besiege it only by ensuring twice the number of troops.

But Bazangkul is different, it is bordered by the Aisne River to the north, and it is full of swamps that cannot be interspersed. To the south is the Reims Siegfried Line, and after the two German divisions on the Avila Mountains were disabled, the remaining ones had fled to the periphery east of Reims to build a new defensive line. As for the big retreat, it is even more impossible, and having an exhausted force retreat on its own initiative will cause chaos. Now that even the bomber hole cards have been used up, and they can only carry it this time. Thinking of this, he got up and glanced around at Su Xiaohu and other generals standing around, but suddenly smiled: "Whether it's a dragon or a snake, it depends on today!" ”

As the words fell, the earth shook, and countless cannonballs began to be thrown down from the west......!!!
