German Eagle: Steel and Magic

Chapter 54
"Let's keep chasing at a fast speed, notify the other mage teams, and intercept!"

A captain said coldly, then waved his hand, motioning for all the staff to follow.

Karl was running desperately in the air, and the line of fire was getting closer and closer. Air defense positions, barracks and fortresses began to appear on the ground, and criss-cross trenches were faintly visible.

But speaking of it, this was the first time Karl flew over the Franks' defense from the rear.

Very fresh.

But the Franks didn't think so. They quickly fired at Karl. Even though they climbed and avoided the heavy machine guns, they entered the range of anti-aircraft guns and anti-magic rapid-fire guns, and the shells with delayed fuzes exploded beside them.

Karl's protective shield was penetrated several times, and a shrapnel even embedded into Karl's helmet, cutting his scalp, and in a blink of an eye, blood flowed out.

Karl didn't have time to treat the wound. A team of aviation mages appeared in front of him, and it was half the size of a brigade. They lined up, raised their guns, and started a round of volleys at Karl.

Bullets kept coming, so Karl could only continue to climb higher, trying to use his speed to avoid the team of aviation mages, but unfortunately things didn't go as planned, the opponent climbed up one step earlier and continued to shoot at Karl.

"Rush over, there is no way."

Carl talked to himself, then concentrated all his attention and rushed towards the other party.

This time, no one played knight charge with Karl. They continued to adopt a volley posture, forcing Karl to give up the charge. They dealt with everything very calmly, obviously not an ordinary team.

Ke Karl is not an ordinary mage either.

Changing speed and steering three times in a row, this operation stunned Frank's aviation wizards. Karl was like a barracuda, swimming quickly and flexibly in the sea.

Not to mention aiming, their eyes can keep up with Karl, which is already very good.

After breaking through the siege of this team of mages, Karl could see the thick smoke in the distance. It was the battlefield, and the Frankish infantry and the German infantry were fighting.

The artillery fire is pouring on the positions of both sides. This is a conventional shelling. They are not heavy artillery. Most of them are 75mm anti-aircraft guns and 80mm mortars. Their power is limited and they will not cause much damage to the trenches more than two meters deep. Casualties were minor.

This is the defense line of the Eighth Division of the Western Army of the German Empire. The observation post is monitoring the movement on the opposite side, and there are a bunch of bright spots, from far to near.

"It's an aviation mage! Sound the alarm!"

The observation post yelled, and for a while, the siren sounded one after another on the German defense line, even covering up the explosion of shells.

"Oh my god, it's the size of the brigade!"

The sentinel in the observation post hurriedly reported the situation with a walkie-talkie, which made the command post of the frontline troops realize the seriousness of the problem. They decided that the Franks were about to attack on a large scale.

All the anti-aircraft artillery were positioned and aimed, and the heavy machine guns and rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns were also in place. They also applied for the support of aviation magicians. After all, not every division is as rich as the Brandenburg division and has its own division aviation magician. Army Corps.

Karl never dreamed that one day he would be covered by German gunfire.

He wanted to reveal his identity, but he didn't have time to do it. The Frankish wizards behind rushed over like crazy, as if they were on the verge of rabies after being bitten by a dog.

bang bang bang...

The German army opened fire, and Karl hoped that they could distinguish friend from foe, but now there was a layer of mist on the battlefield, and the line of sight was not very good.

Cannon fire and machine gun bullets rained down, and Karl had to lower his altitude with all his strength, hoping that they could see his equipment and uniform clearly before being shot by the bullets of this group of infantry.

Karl was very unlucky, but the Frankish wizards behind him were even more unlucky. After the artillery fire hit, two of them were shot down in an instant, which forced them to abandon Karl and turn to deal with the heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft guns below.

"interesting."

Karl watched the Franks struggling under the gunfire, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he was about to turn back and give the Franks a hard blow.

After being unilaterally chased for so long, Karl was influenced and needed to prepare a big gift.

Unfortunately, Karl's vehicle had reached its limit at this time, and when Karl turned to prepare to accelerate, he suddenly lost power.

"Thank you, my half-wife."

Karl knew that the engine of the vehicle was scrapped. This Des 2 Lakram engine had already done its best, and now it was time for it to rest.

With a leap, Carl jumped out of the vehicle, and he looked back at the Falcon 17 with great respect, thanking it for accompanying him through life and death.

Using the flying technique to slow down in the air, and at the same time activated the body strengthening technique, Karl prepared to deal with the impact of the next fall.

boom!
An explosive attack suddenly struck Karl. This was a Frankish aviation mage. He was still staring at Karl, waiting for the opportunity, but it just so happened that the opportunity came soon.

With no vehicle, Carl has very little mobility in the air, and the hit is sudden and accurate.

Karl's protective cover was instantly shattered, and the impact force knocked Karl out, crashing hard to the ground.

Fortunately, it had just rained here, and the ground was relatively soft. Karl fell into a big hole, but he did not suffer any serious injuries.

"Go to hell! Brat!!"

The Frankish wizard fired a few more shots, all of which were equipped with explosive spells. Carl gritted his teeth and launched a defensive spell with all his strength, barely blocking the wave of attacks.

Karl also quietly released a smoke spell, which was mixed with the thick smoke from the explosion, making it indistinguishable at all.

"Compared to a sneak attack, you are still too tender..."

Karl activated the magic perception spell, easily locked this guy, then added two penetration spells, and pulled the trigger.

The bullet brought out a magical light and hit the guy's chest directly. The kinetic energy brought his body off the vehicle and fell directly to the ground.

"Hurry up and find a bunker to hide."

Under the cover of smoke, Karl quickly ran towards a ditch. Just as a few soldiers were about to open fire on Karl, they recognized Karl's aviation suit of the German Imperial Aviation.

They pulled Karl, who was running, into the trench and put him in infantry uniform.

Put on the infantry helmet so Karl doesn't look much different from other infantry.

Concentrating all the magic power, Karl hid in a group of infantry like this. After destroying several air defense positions, the Frankish aviation mages began to search for Karl frantically. However, Karl's concealment work was done very well, and it was not easy to be found.

When a German air mage brigade rushed over, after a brief exchange of fire between the two sides, the group of Frankish air mages could only retreat annoyed.

"I lost my wife and lost my army. How can there be any result in chasing me?"

Karl looked at the departing Franks, took off his infantry helmet, and smiled as a victor. This battle was indeed not easy, but he came back safely.

It's more important than anything.

A car of the 503th Division of the Western Army slowly drove into the garrison of the [-]rd Brigade. Karl jumped out of the car with a bandage on his head and a rifle on his back. He gathered around.

The Brandenburg Division has successfully retreated and returned to the position before the offensive. This offensive did not achieve any results, but it cost both sides tens of thousands of casualties.

"God bless you, you survived and crossed the entire Frankish defense line. I really don't know what you have gone through. Fortunately, you still ran to the territory of the Western Army."

Major Ruhr came out and looked at Karl, smiled and gave him a big hug.

"I'm very sorry for worrying you and your comrades."

Carl smiled, then stood at attention and saluted.
