Chapter 867 The First Air Combat in History (Second Update, please subscribe)
fear!

The fear of death spread on all fronts in Montevideo. In the next few days, the death brought by the airship was unimaginable.

When the Brazilian infantry escaped from the trenches, small bombs were dropped in the air waiting for them. The dense small bombs fell like raindrops, exploded, and killed many people.

When they were asked to return to the trenches again, what fell was incendiary bombs.

Incendiary bombs and small bombs have caused damage to the Brazilian army that is unimaginable to the outside world.But let the fear of death spread in Montevideo.

"Don't be afraid, everyone, our airship is on land, and the people of Ming Dynasty will taste the anger of Brazil soon!"

General Cavalcanti, who guarded Montevideo, said so swearingly to his subordinates.

The Brazilian army also has airships. As the most important rubber producing area in the world, Brazil's rubber is not only of the best quality, but also has a high output.Compared with building warships, it is easier to manufacture airships, such as glued silk cloth, ropes...the technical level of these things is neither high nor low, but it is definitely lower than building warships.Although Brazil is not an industrial country, they can't make things like rubberized silk cloth and motors, but they can buy them.

So relying on buying, buying, and buying, Brazil "made" hundreds of airships. Although compared with the airships of the great powers, the Brazilian-made airships are smaller-the bomb load is only about one ton, but it does not prevent them from being in this country. Time to send out your own airship.

On September 9, when the Brazilian army in Montevideo was abused by Ming's airships, 7 airships formed a formation and appeared over Montevideo.

"Look, that's our airship!"

The airships coming from the north carried dozens of tons of bombs. What is their mission?Of course, it is to teach the Ming army a lesson with bombs, so that they cannot attack the Brazilian army unscrupulously.

In addition, they will fly a circle over Montevideo to boost morale.

Their arrival really boosted the morale of General Cavalcanti and his subordinates, and Cavalcanti even specially asked people to write a big welcome message on the ground to welcome the arrival of the airship.

Just as the Brazilian army in Montevideo cheered for their own airship, Daming's airship also came to join in the fun.

"Find the Ming airship!"

In the report of his subordinates, Major Peasuo picked up the binoculars to observe the Daming airship in the distance, and he immediately shouted loudly.

"Be alert,"

Then he turned his head and shouted towards the back of the cabin.

"Pace, get your machine guns ready!"

machine gun.

Nothing else, it was Daming who manufactured the five-year Gatling machine gun, and the Brazilian army was also its user.

While the machine gunner was operating the machine gun, Major Peasuo noticed the changing formation of Ming's airship troops.

"Major, they seem to be forming a column."

"what?"

Peasuo looked puzzled at the airships that were adjusting their formation in the distance. The huge airships were like battleships in the sky, and they formed a battle column.

"They seem to fly higher for us!"

Peasuo looked at the airship of the Ming people in some puzzlement, while Ding Yunhai on the airship stared at the Brazilian airship coldly, and he shouted loudly.

"Keep at an altitude of 1500 meters!"

"Yes, sir!"

Brazil's airship is only [-] meters high, and now Ming's airship far surpasses them in flying height.

"Captain, the Brazilian airship is starting to ascend!"

"Maintain the relative advantage in 500 meters."

After giving this order, Ding Yunhai ordered to the machine gunner in front.

"Fire after entering 500 meters!"

"Yes, sir!"

Is it useful to shoot an airship with a machine gun?

Obviously it was useless, even when the airship team commanded by Ding Yunhai opened fire on the Brazilian airship team, Major Peaso just raised his eyebrows and said.

"Does that make sense? Aim at their cabins and shoot!"

Now that the airship of the Ming army is at a high altitude, and the Brazilian airship is below it, it is difficult for the machine gun of the Ming army to accurately hit the cabin of the airship through the airbag of the airship. Even if it is blocked, it will not be much higher.

After the two sides only exchanged fire for a short time, the Brazilian airship had to face a reality—their airbags blocked their vision, making them unable to shoot, and they couldn't even see that Ming had an airship.

"Sir, I can't see them anymore, they're over our heads!"

They are on the head!
And still firing!
Until this time, Peasuo didn't know the purpose of the other party, and he yelled.

"Damn it, it's a shame they're flying over our heads just for that... quick, lift up, overtake them!"

When Peasuo yelled to give orders and commanded the airship troops to ascend through semaphore signals, the Ming airship troops riding on their heads straightly shot the airships with machine guns, but even if the small 7.5mm bullets hit At most, the airbag will cause air leakage. Although the bullets have punched hundreds of bullet holes in the Brazilian airship, although the hydrogen leakage has caused the Brazilian airship to be unable to continue to rise, but that's it.

"Sir, I think it's almost there."

After firing a few bullets at the airship, the machine gunner turned his head and shouted at the captain.

"Well, let's try!"

While speaking, Ding Yunhai took out a flare gun, and aimed a shot at the airship below.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, the signal flare dragged the red fire dragon and flew over. Although he aimed very accurately, the signal bullet was not accurate at a distance of 300 meters. After one shot was missed, Ding Yunhai frowned. .

"damn it."

He loaded a flare again and aimed again. Although this time it missed again, the flare dragged by the fire dragon passed not far from the Brazilian airship. When Ding Yunhai fired the flare gun, the other airships This is also true.

For a moment, the sky was full of red flares, and the red smoke dragged by the flares as they flew down from the sky streaked across the air. Although the people on the ground couldn't see this scene clearly, the people on the airship The Brazilian airship officers and soldiers such as Peasso saw it.

At the beginning, they didn't know what was going on, but soon, Peasuo seemed to think of something, and his face instantly turned pale.

"Quick, quick, descend the flight altitude immediately, hydrogen, damn it, they want to burn us..."

Almost at the moment when his words fell, the No. 18 airship in the distance suddenly burst into flames, and the leaked hydrogen gas was finally ignited by the signal flare.

The flames swallowed the airbag of the airship in an instant, and the once huge airship turned into a burning torch in the air. It burned like that, and quickly fell towards the ground.
