Chapter 1422 Airship vs Plane ([-]rd update, please subscribe)

When the soldiers of the expeditionary army came here, everything here seemed to be unaffected by the war. There were lush forests everywhere on both sides of the Marne River, and French country buildings were scattered among the green fields. Everything is quiet and peaceful.

But in the end, all this will be broken!

On May 5, the British Expeditionary Force first appeared in front of the defense line of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and there was no fierce battle between the two sides.

It seems that both sides are exercising some restraint.

In fact, everyone knows that the British are waiting for the arrival of the main force.

In the early morning three days later, there was a slight buzzing sound in the distant air. Shigeru Honjo, who was in the trench, knew that this was the daily routine aerial reconnaissance. This was the airship of the British Expeditionary Force. After these airships arrived yesterday , and started dangling in the air, only they didn't fly over their trenches.

To carry out aerial reconnaissance, it is not necessary to fly above the defense line. They can use binoculars to observe the rear of the Ming army's position at a high altitude several kilometers away.

In fact, the British airship did not approach because they received information-the expeditionary force was equipped with a 50mm anti-airship gun, which may have a range of more than three or four kilometers.Faced with such a threat, the British floating force directly chose to carry out aerial reconnaissance far away.Facts have proved that their caution was correct, and air defense positions were indeed set up within the defense line.

Of course, Ben Zhuangfan is not clear about all this. Even in Africa, airships are not very rare. After all, the colonial officials’ favorite is to fly airships in the air to show their strength. For the barbaric and ignorant indigenous people, The airship is nothing short of a miracle!It is not just a miracle, for those indigenous people, it is the god of death that brought them death.

At this moment, Benzhuang Fan was thinking about the photo he got yesterday - a photo of a white girl bought in a photo studio, the naked one.

A babe is a babe, not only has a particularly good figure, but is also very open!
If you can find a lover in a nearby village with the figure of the woman in the photo, it will be God's blessing.

It seems that Emperor Guan doesn't bless this, but it doesn't matter, Emperor Guan, there is definitely nothing wrong with praying more.

At this moment, the voice in the air became more and more low and gradually approaching, and Benzhuang Fan's cranky thoughts were interrupted. He looked up at the direction from which the voice came from. As soon as he raised his head, he opened his mouth wide, and then I can't close it either.

In the distant sky, more than 20 airships appeared, and they flew in a huge formation from high altitude.

"It's the airship team!"

"Quick, report to the chief immediately."

Soon the observers of the air defense observation post also found the airship, and then they made a simple estimate and said.

"The altitude should be 3000 meters, and they are still climbing. They must be trying to tear apart our defense line with heavy bombs from the air!"

After the empire used airships to blast the Brazilian defenses time and time again during the Brazilian campaign, countries all over the world learned this style of play.

After all, compared to heavy artillery, the bombs dropped by the airship while hovering are not only head-high, but also powerful.

A two-ton bomb is enough to tear through any line of defense.

The British... are also good students!

However, it is precisely because of the powerful power of airships that armies around the world have been equipped with various types of airship guns in the past ten years to prevent airship attacks.

The Imperial Army is no exception.

However, the caliber of the airship guns of various countries is between 37-57 mm, and the shooting height is only more than 3000 meters, which cannot pose a threat to high-altitude airships at all.

"Where's the French destroyer?"

"The command is contacting..."

Just as his words fell, there was a sudden roar from behind, and the roar was particularly ear-piercing.

"what is that?"

A soldier in the trench stood up and looked towards the sky, when suddenly someone shouted excitedly.

"Airplane! It's our airplane!"

airplane!

Since the victory in Hampton, the new weapon of aircraft has been spread all over the world. Even in the African colonies, they are very familiar with the name of the aircraft.

I saw four "Falcon" planes painted in blue and gray in the sky flying straight towards the British position. Their flying altitude was not high, even only 200 meters. It was even suspected that they flew so high on purpose. low.

That's right, they flew low on purpose. They flew over the heads of the imperial officers and soldiers. These four "Falcon" planes were brought by airships. In order to support the expeditionary force, the imperial military specially transported two Ten Falcon aircraft to augment the air defenses of the Imperial Expeditionary Force.

This is the first time an aircraft has appeared on the battlefield. They have just arrived at the nearby airship field, and before they can carry out airworthiness training, after learning that the large formation of the British air force has appeared, this aviation unit immediately went into battle .

"Fly, plane!"

Dumbfounded, Zhuang Fan stared blankly at the four planes flying over their heads, and soon they gave a sudden jerk and flew towards the sky in a nearly straight posture.

When they plunged into the sky, whether it was the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Expeditionary Force or the British Expeditionary Force, they all saw these four planes that looked like toys.

Everyone stared at the plane flying freely in the sky with astonished eyes.

This is the plane!

"airplane!"

Compared to the astonishment of the people on the ground, the expressions of the British airship crew in the air immediately turned into panic after they spotted the plane.

"It's an airplane! An airplane of the Ming Empire!"

As airship crews, they only need to take a look at them to clearly realize the threat of these planes. Compared with combat airships, they are more flexible and smaller, and they pose a greater threat to airships.

Gunshots!

Immediately, the sound rang, and the machine gunner operated the machine gun to shoot at the approaching plane, and the air was full of red bullet trails.

"tracer!"

Ding Lei was taken aback by this discovery.Xu Fei, the machine gunner in the back seat, was also taken aback and said in surprise.

"Tracer bullets... This is the unique weapon of the empire. I didn't expect the British to master it..."

That's right, the British not only mastered the tracer technology, but also their unique secret. In the air battle with the French airships, they shot down more than twenty airships successively by relying on it.

"There has never been any unique weapon in this world. If we can invent tracer bullets and use them to hit airships, the British will certainly be able to invent them too. It's no big deal."

Although he said so, he knew that this was a very important piece of information and the army must be notified as soon as possible.

But now the most important thing is air combat!

"Avoid it!"

Ding Lei, who was about to attack from below, pressed the joystick, and the plane immediately flew towards the distance like a flexible bird.

"Did they run away?"

The British machine gunners on the airship stared nervously at the flying plane. When they saw its nimble figure, they all felt their scalps tingle. These planes are too nimble.

"Even the birds are not as flexible as them!"

Just when the British were sighing, someone suddenly shouted.

"They're climbing, they're climbing, they're trying to fly over us!"

All the airship crew were taken aback, the top of their heads... that was their weakness! "Quick, take off, take off..."
