"Oh God! How could these yellow-skinned monkeys be so shameless and actually use airships! Clark's face was gloomy, as if he could drip water. He is very confident in the Tiera Corolada defence, however, this does not include the threat from the air. He had seen the information on the use of airships by the squadron in the Battle of Vladivostok, and if the combat power of the airship units of the Chinese Air Force had not been reduced, the defense line of Tiela Corolada would not have been able to withstand the air attacks of the Chinese. After all, the U.S. military has built a very strong defense line in Tira Corollada, but in any case, it is certainly impossible to compete with Vladivostok, which has been fortified by the Russian army.

On the battlefield, the soldiers of the two sides who were fighting fiercely also stopped fighting at this moment, and everyone was shocked by dozens of airships, which were densely packed with airships, covering the sky and the sun, blocking the sun and leaving a big shadow on the ground.

"Hooray! Long live the Chinese Drop Empire! The Japanese mercenaries, who were being slaughtered by the powerful firepower of the US military on the battlefield, shouted one after another. The strong defense line and intensive firepower of the American army inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese mercenaries. And now, the arrival of the airship unit of the Chinese Air Force will undoubtedly avenge them.

"Oh God! Are Chinese all devils? This is definitely a devil's weapon! Some timid American soldiers looked at the airship in the sky in horror. Airships were never used in wars on the American continent, and many Americans did not know the power of airships. Only some of the officers were worried. Although, the German airship units did not achieve much success in the fortress of Liège, nor did they cause much damage to the fortress of Liège, but only frightened the inhabitants of the city too much. The fortress of Liège was eventually destroyed by German heavy artillery. But China and Germany are different! China has experience in the use of airships. In terms of power, it is definitely much more powerful than the German airship. Although the bombing of the Chinese airship has not yet begun, it is enough to make the generals of the US military fearful.

"General, it's not safe here, let's go back to the headquarters!" Lieutenant General Clark's adjutant persuaded.

"Wait a minute, let's see the power of the Chinese's airship first!" Lieutenant General Clark stubbornly refused the adjutant's request, and in his heart, there was always a glimmer of hope, even if the power of the Chinese airship was not as great as imagined. That's the only way. Only then did the U.S. military have hope of holding Tira Colorada. It's just that this hope seems so slim.

"Send a telegram to General Chen Qifeng, commander of the airship unit, bomb the No. 1 high ground first! Once we've captured Heights 1, we'll be able to get a clear picture of the two heights around Tierra Corolada! Marshal Zhao Bo ordered. Heights 1 is the closest to the squadron, after taking here. You will be able to pose a threat to the other two highlands, and then defeat the American troops stationed here and capture the Iron La Colorada!

"Yes, Marshal!" Marshal Zhao Bo's adjutant immediately went to give the order. The signal corps sent Marshal Zhao Bo's telegram to Major General Chen Qifeng, who was directing the battle on the No. 101 heavy airship. After receiving Marshal Zhao Bo's order, Major General Chen Qifeng immediately issued the order to the other airships.

At 9:20 a.m., the airship unit of the Chinese Air Force flew over the Titra Colorada, slowing down. Stay in the air at a distance of 1,000 meters above the ground! At this altitude, the U.S. military currently does not have any weapons capable of threatening these airships.

"Team 1 attacks first, and the rest of the squad is on standby!" Major General Chen Qifeng gave the order to attack.

Soon, 5 medium airships left the formation. They descended into the sky about 800 meters from Heights 1 and dropped bombs on Heights 1 in turn. After all, Heights 1 is a hill, just that big. If all 60 airships were to bomb, they would be crowded!

The airship numbered 121 flew first over Heights 1. The magazine was opened, and inside were 4 aerial bombs of 250 kg. When the bombardier determined the target, he lifted the safety lock on the aerial bomb, and the four aerial bombs fell into the No. 1 high ground in the shape of a free fall.

"Hide quickly, hide all in the anti-artillery holes and tunnels!" The U.S. officers on Heights 1 shouted loudly. But most of the American soldiers stared at the four larger and larger black dots in the sky in a daze, forgetting that they should dodge.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! "Four loud explosions rang out in quick succession, one of the four bombs missed, but the other three landed on Heights 1. The orange-red fire shone brightly, and after the bomb exploded, an orange-red fireball was directly formed, and black gunpowder smoke rose up, forming a small mushroom cloud.

The 250-kilogram aerial bomb was so powerful that it left a large crater several meters deep directly on the No. 1 height. The shock wave formed after the explosion of the bomb destroyed the surrounding area, and many American soldiers who did not have time to hide in the anti-artillery shelter were killed. These three bombs alone caused at least hundreds of casualties. You know, the weight of the 155-mm heavy howitzer is only 48 kg. An aerial bomb weighing 250 kg is at least several times more powerful than a 155-mm heavy howitzer.

After the bombing of the airship No. 121 was finished, it immediately flew away from the sky above the No. 1 height, and immediately after that, the four airships behind it also flew over the No. 1 highland and dropped bombs in turn. In the face of huge casualties, those American soldiers finally turned around, and they rushed to the nearest anti-artillery holes and tunnels, and in the process, many more people were killed.

"Bang bang bang!" A brave American soldier, armed with a rifle, opened fire on the airship raging in the sky. However, his actions were completely futile. Although the rifle used by the US military has a range of more than 1,000 meters, when shooting into the sky, due to gravity, Gen cannot threaten the airship at an altitude of 800 meters. However, this move of the US soldiers still attracted the attention of the airship units of the Chinese Air Force, and for the safety of the airship units, Major General Chen Qifeng asked all the airship units to stay at an altitude of 1,000 meters to drop bombs.

One after another, the airships of the airship unit of the Chinese Air Force flew over the No. 1 Heights and dropped aerial bombs, turning the entire No. 1 Heights into a sea of fire.

Lieutenant General Clark, who was staying at Heights 3, had a pale face and a somewhat dull look, the Chinese Air Force did not attack Heights 3, and their targets seemed to be on Heights 1. As a result, Lieutenant General Clark is now very safe. But his whole body was completely surrounded by rage, although it was unclear what the casualties on High Ground 1 were. But with such heavy bombardment, the situation on Heights 1 must have been very bad!

"General, don't worry, our anti-artillery holes and tunnels are dug very deep, enough to withstand the bombardment of large-caliber heavy artillery!" Lieutenant General Clark's adjutant persuaded. However, this is nothing more than self-deception. The army's heavy artillery, many of which were 155 mm caliber, and larger caliber heavy guns were difficult to move and were generally transported by rail or used as fortress guns. The artillery of the Chinese army has replaced horses with cars, making the artillery of the Chinese army move much faster than the army using pack horses. Built to withstand 155 mm heavy howitzers, the anti-gun holes are very vulnerable to aerial bombs weighing 250 kg or more. If they were directly hit, many officers and soldiers of the US military hiding in the anti-artillery holes would not have survived. Even if you are not directly hit by an aerial bomb, you will be injured or even killed by the shock wave generated by the explosion of the aerial bomb!

"God forbid, our anti-artillery holes will definitely not be hit!" A prayed to God with a pale face as an American second lieutenant officer, knowing the standard of the American army's anti-artillery holes, and knowing that if they were hit directly, they would all die. Not far from their anti-artillery hole, an anti-artillery hole was hit by a 250-kilogram aerial bomb, and the entire anti-artillery hole completely collapsed, and hundreds of American troops inside were all buried in it. If we wait until the bombing of the airship unit of the Chinese Air Force is over to go to the rescue, it will be too late, and the buried American troops have already died of suffocation.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! The violent explosion kept thinking of the American officers and soldiers in the anti-artillery hole, their faces were pale, and their eyes were full of horror as they looked at the constantly shaking anti-artillery hole, for fear that the anti-artillery hole would collapse.

"Mom, I want to go home, I don't want to fight anymore, I'm going to be killed by the Chinese!" Some of the younger US soldiers were already crying. Some of the older soldiers whispered to comfort them. For these American soldiers, they now seem so helpless, their lives are completely out of their hands, and no one knows if they can survive to the end. The bombing of the Chinese airships in the sky seemed to be endless, and the US officers and men huddled in the anti-artillery holes lived like a year, hoping that the bombing of the Chinese Air Force's airship units would end at an early date.

At 10 a.m., forty medium-sized airships had finished their bombardment and were on their way home to Acapulco. However, there are still twenty heavy airships that have not yet been bombed. Immediately after the medium airships left, the heavy airships began to fly over Heights 1 and began to bomb them. Each heavy airship carried 4 500 kg aerial bombs, which was much more powerful than the 250 kg aerial bombs carried by the previous medium airships!
