"Look at what's on the sea?" A British major pointed to a dark shadow on the sea.

"Don't be suspicious, it's a battleship of the Ming army. As long as their men don't come by boat, we can't do anything. Colonel Charles put down his binoculars and said helplessly.

"Can't our artillery teach the Ming Navy a lesson?" The Major said resentfully.

"Huh! Lesson to the Ming Navy? How can it be so easy, as soon as our artillery fires, the muzzle fire will reveal the position, and the next thing is to return fire overwhelmingly.

The artillery position will turn into a cloud of green smoke and disappear. ”

"We can't fire planes during the day, and we still can't fire guns at night. Is that useless for our artillery? ”

"It can be said that direct-aim artillery is basically useless. The howitzer is okay, but the howitzer wants to hit the moving warship, which is too difficult!

Basically, this can be considered a waste of shells. ”

As Charles said this, he suddenly looked up at the sky.

There was a roar of machinery in the sky, and it seemed that an airship was flying over the position.

"Commander, it seems that there is an airship."

", it's getting dark. It's cloudy again, and there isn't even a star. But it shouldn't be a German or a Ming airship!

Airships are slow, and they're bulky. Being knocked down is almost a certainty!

It can't be the Germans and the Mings! Charles muttered, but still looked at the sky and frowned.

The roads in the rear were basically blown up, and airships were the fastest and most effective tool for transporting supplies and ammunition to the front line.

Every night, a large number of British airships flew to the front line, bringing much-needed ammunition and supplies to the front.

And, to transport away the wounded and sick from the positions.

Five kilometers away from his command post, on a flat field, three huge barrels were burning with flames.

The flame burns only at the bottom of the tank, and the walls of the tank block the fire. From the outside, it looks like there is no flame here at all.

But in the sky, on the pitch-black earth, there are three such fires, which are simply lice on the bald head.

The airships in the sky landed one after another.

The German soldiers, loaded with loaded guns, quickly ran out of the pod. Before departure, no one spoke because of the strict orders.

Everyone silently moved out the ammunition and mortars in the pod.

One airship landed and quickly unloaded, while the other hurried down.

In less than an hour, five airships had landed in this open space one after another.

The Germans on the ground, from a company, have been increased to a battalion.

And as the airships landed one after another, the number of people is still increasing.

After the Germans landed on the ground, they quickly began to organize defensive positions, and then sent reconnaissance teams to reconnoiter the road ahead.

A group of British soldiers were patrolling with torches on the road, and they were confronted by another group of British soldiers wearing British uniforms.

"Which regiment are you from?" The soldiers were very strange, because this was behind the defense area of their regiment, how could other troops come to patrol here?

"We belong to the 36th regiment, and we have just changed our guard here during the day, which of your regiments is from?" The man on the other side spoke fluently in London to the British soldiers.

"Oh, transferred during the day. I said how we don't know, be careful, the artillery of the day was fought during the day, and tonight the Germans could attack. "The British soldiers kindly took care of these who had just been transferred.

"Got it! Thank you! There was a military salute on the other side, and the two sides passed by.

Just as the two sides were staggering, suddenly the team drew their daggers in unison. When the British patrol was defenseless, the dagger quickly plunged into their throats.

A whole patrol of eight people, not even a single one of them had a chance to shoot.

Within an hour, three such incidents occurred. It has to be said that the German personnel were very well prepared in advance.

They spoke fluent English and were familiar with the British army's defenses.

On that night, a whole German division infiltrated the British positions.

It was the first time in Europe that airships had been used on such a large scale for airborne operations.

The luck of the Germans was simply against the sky, and a whole division landed. Five British patrols were killed, but the British did not notice it.

They also thought that these airships had come to give them supplies.

There was even a regiment of British people who specially sent officers to coordinate whether they could give priority to replenishing their supplies.

As a result, the officer was directly wiped on the neck. I didn't understand until I died, this guy in the uniform of the British army wanted to kill himself for Mao.

At 4:35 a.m., when I saw a touch of fish belly faintly revealing in the sky.

The Germans had already assembled, and the excellent discipline allowed them to accomplish such a feat.

They began to move towards the British positions on the coast, and although the speed of their deliveries was not very fast, they were very hidden.

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky was completely white. The blue sky light sprinkled the earth, and everything could be seen clearly.

The British troops on the positions were all sleeping in the trenches. Only the sentries were holding their guns and dozing with their heads crooked in the trenches.

Suddenly, a shell exploded on the hill with a whistle. The dirt of the canopy was lifted into the sky in an instant.

The sentry reluctantly opened his eyes and instinctively stood up and looked out. Not only was he startled, but there were dense ships heading towards the shore on the sea.

At the same time as he picked up the whistle, countless shells had already fallen from the sky.

This time, the Ming army prepared eight arsenal ships and bombarded the position of this regiment at the same time.

The width of the position was no more than five kilometers, but there were enough eight arsenal ships bombarding it. And that's not counting the destroyers and cruiser battleships on the sea.

In an instant, explosions came and went, and the number was almost inaudible.

The smoke from the explosion enveloped the entire position.

Under such a fierce shelling, it was basically impossible for the surface position to have a living person.

With the shelling, groups of German soldiers were rowing their boats with all their might, trying to get closer to the coast.

German observers told the Ming artillery commander that the bombardment would not stop according to the existing yardstick. Even if the German soldier was injured by mistake, he did not hesitate to do so.

As long as the Germans stood their ground on the beach and were not driven into the sea by the British, it was worth paying even some costs.

With the words of the Germans, the artillery of the Ming army was ruthless to shoot shells out.

It's all money!

This time, the Germans threw real money at it. It was to bombard the British beachhead to death.
