Chapter 1194: A New Era of Air Combat (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Three days!

For three days, the small Suihua Fort became a roadblock, preventing the Roman Legion from attacking Ningyuan.

In the past three days, relying on fortifications and fortresses, the heavenly army guarding Suihua Fort has repelled the waves of Russian attacks in the past three days, killing and injuring no less than 4000 enemy troops, and more than half of their own casualties in the fierce battle .

But the pace of the Russian offensive did not stop.

On February 2th, the Russian army concentrated 17 cannons in the west of Suihua Fortress, including 74 heavy cannons over 18mm, and more than a hundred mortars. The shells of picric acid explosives swept across Suihua Fort like a storm. At this time, the defenders had shrunk their positions and abandoned the outer positions of the fort. The defenders, who lost more than half of their troops, could only rely on the fort to resist the enemy's attack.

There are also three airships in the air to indicate the impact point to the artillery position by phone at any time, making the Russian artillery bombardment more and more accurate.The artillery positions, machine gun firing points, and bunkers in the fortress were accurately covered by Russian shells, earth and rocks were flying, flesh and blood were flying everywhere, and the earth trembled wherever the artillery fire passed...

When Meng Guoren was dug out from the collapsed bunker by his subordinates, although his face was covered with blood, he was not seriously injured.

"Reinforcements... haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?"

When he learned that the reinforcements had not arrived, Meng Guoren just said silently.

"Okay, it's time to be loyal to the country!"

Under the strong attack of tens of thousands of enemy troops, they held on for three days!
Already loyal to the country!

Now that the ammunition is almost exhausted, more than half of the brothers were killed, and everyone who survived is also lucky.

But they will surely fight to the last bullet, to the last soldier.Surrender was impossible. They knew what would happen after surrender, because their father and their brothers surrendered before, but they didn't survive.

At this moment, someone pointed to the sky and said.

"The airship, it seems to be our airship, our airship is here."

airship!

Here comes the airship.

A total of three small airships.

"Okay, our reinforcements should not be far away, God bless you."

Meng Guoren smiled, and while accepting the bandage, he even recited prayers devoutly.

He was rescued from the dead by the army of the kingdom of heaven. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas failed to save him and millions of Gansu compatriots, but the army of the kingdom of heaven led by King Yi saved him, so he became a devout believer in worshiping God.In fact, it doesn't matter what you believe, what matters is what is in your heart.

Just like people from Ming Dynasty or people from Heaven, they are all Chinese people at heart.

In fact, the three airships that came were all combat airships. Li Zhigui, a member of the advisory team, was leading the flight team. He drove the airship here to investigate the situation of Suihua Fort.

At this time, the bombardment was still going on, Suihua Fort was completely covered by gunpowder smoke, and the sound of artillery was rumbling on the ground. Li Zhigui looked at the situation on the ground from the air, looked at the devastated Suihua Fort, and said.

"It's really not easy for them, they actually guarded for three days!"

"Airship, a Chinese airship!"

Nikolai Pavlovich Ignatiev looked at the airship in the sky, and his extremely ugly face became even uglier. Once upon a time, he thought that these Chinese were the same as those Central Asian barbarians, It is vulnerable, just like the Qing army, under the attack of the British and French allied forces, they even burned the palace.

But now?
They not only tenaciously defended the fort, but also brought serious damage to his army.

Three days!

Originally, his plan was to take down Haokand City in three days, but who would have thought that he would be blocked in this ghostly place.

"Looks like a combat airship, General! Here they come..."

It's a battle airship!
The crew on the Russian airship immediately became nervous after discovering the airship. Compared with the clumsy large airship, the combat airship is dedicated to fighting. They are assassins in the air.

"Damn it, where did they get the combat airship? Why didn't we have any information before, didn't they only have two old-fashioned airships?"

They definitely didn't get the information. These three combat airships just arrived in Ningyuan yesterday. They were the first batch of aid materials provided by the empire. Even the crew of the airships were active soldiers of the empire.

"Quick, take back the phone line!"

When the Russian airship fell into chaos due to the appearance of the combat airship, three small combat airships had already struck at high speed. Their speed was very fast and their movements were very dexterous. The three Russian airships were still clumsily adjusting their flight At the time of posture, they had already flown over.

"My God, they're done!"

When the Russians on the ground saw this scene, they all drew the cross sadly.

In fact, the Russians are also extremely good at using airships. After all, when attacking Turkey, the Russians used airships to drop heavy bombs to destroy the Turks' fortress more than once.

But that's in Europe.

On the Central Asian side...they only have a few old-fashioned airships. After all, the nearest railway is thousands of kilometers away in Orenburg, so their use of airships is almost similar to that of balloons, that is, to carry artillery observers , Correct your own artillery fire or conduct reconnaissance at any time through the wired telephone connected to the ground. As early as during the Turkish War, Russia has widely used this effective technology.

If they were fighting against the barbarians in Central Asia, these old-fashioned airships used as balloons would definitely not be in any danger, but they never imagined that the Ming Empire would roll up its sleeves and play.

"Shoot, shoot..."

Seeing that the combat airship was approaching, the Russian army on the airship immediately set up a 15mm airship machine gun and shot towards the approaching aircraft. The special tracer incendiary bomb flew through the air with a red tracer trajectory. The airship machine gun had a large caliber, However, the low-velocity ballistic trajectory is curved, and it quickly becomes a pissing-like trajectory in the air.

"It's like a child peeing!"

Li Zhigui sneered.

The airship machine gun is a new type of weapon developed by Westerners after the Battle of Brazil based on the experience of the empire and based on the signal flare. The range is very short, only two to 300 meters.And what's more terrible is that due to the installation location, its shooting angle is also very limited.

After climbing the airship to an altitude of 1000, Li Zhigui's airship successfully avoided the firepower of the Russian airship, and then he found the right angle and began to dive towards the Russian airship.

While the airship was diving, Li Zhigui stepped on the firing pedal after aiming at the airship. The moment the gunfire sounded, the two ten-year-style machine guns in front of the boat immediately fired a series of bullets, and the tracer bullets dragged the red trajectory in the distance. The distance of a thousand meters roared towards the target, but it was only an instant effort, and hundreds of bullets were fired.

The moment the bullet hits the airship, the tracer detonates the hydrogen in the airship.But in the blink of an eye, the airship turned into a flaming torch and fell towards the ground.

When the airship turned into a torch and fell from the sky, those poor Russians on the airship jumped out desperately. However, as soon as the parachute of some of them opened, they were ignited by the burning airship, directly bringing Falling with a burning parachute...
