Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1208
Seeing this scene, I wondered if the opposing pilot was blind.After all, the huge five-clawed Golden Dragon Banner behind his chariot could be seen clearly even in the sky.

But it's really eye-opening.Just when the allied forces in the sky were considered transparent, suddenly a few planes appeared from the other side.Looking up, there is a five-clawed golden dragon logo on the wing, and a closer look reveals four Blue Sky bombers of the Imperial Air Force.

"Hmm! It seems that those guys in the Naval Air Corps don't make a living!" Seeing the blue sky approaching him, he felt more at ease. At this moment, his attention was all focused on the map in front of him.In his eyes, as long as he can bring this army to Calais, everything will be fine.

But at this moment, a shrill whistling sound suddenly sounded in the sky.This sound is very familiar to him.This is the sound made by the blue sky fighter plane when it starts to dive.Hearing this voice, he immediately raised his head.

"What are these idiots doing? Are they crazy?" Looking at the descending blue sky fighter plane, he roared loudly.

"Quick! Send the signal! Send the signal! Protect the general!" The head guard standing next to the car saw that the situation was not good and immediately reminded the others nearby.Hear this order.The soldiers who were still staring at the sky in a daze just started to get busy immediately. Several of them picked up the flare guns on the table, while the other air force navigators began to adjust the radio urgently, trying to get in touch with their bomber unit .The other guards rushed to get off the chariot.

A few people just got off the car, and the plane over there had already dived to a place about 1200 meters from the ground, and the signal to stop the bombing was issued, but those planes still didn't find themselves, and swooped directly towards them.

"Why didn't they see the signal? Why didn't they see it? Shoot down these blind things for me!" Looking at the plane that was still diving down at high speed, he shouted loudly.

But it's too late.The first plane made a beautiful dive, and then dropped four 50-kilogram bombs from under the wings. Although these bombs are not very big, they are powerful for trucks and tanks on the ground. But it's huge.In addition, Lantian's bombing accuracy can be accurate to meters, so for a long convoy, its destructive power is very large.

The four bombs exploded on the road, and several trucks following the column were unlucky and turned into a huge fire in an instant.Those blue sky fighters didn't just quit.The rest of the planes followed the dive trajectory of the first plane, followed by a third and a fourth.But the fourth one didn't drop bombs, not because he found anything, but because it was hit by anti-aircraft guns on the ground.The angry Air Force anti-aircraft artillery soldiers gritted their teeth and fired fiercely at the aircraft that was diving at high speed with the quadruple 20mm anti-aircraft guns in their hands.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to take evasive actions at all, and can only watch helplessly as his plane is mercilessly cut by shells.The plane soon emitted billowing black smoke and fell down like a headless fly. Two small white flowers bloomed in the sky.Seeing this situation, the rest of the planes pulled up one after another, and left the battlefield in a blink of an eye.

"Catch these two idiots!" After looking at the burning vehicle, he turned his gaze to the two beautiful umbrella flowers in the sky.

"Also, count the number of casualties and losses, and order the troops to move on! We can't afford to waste time, because time is life!" After straightening the slightly messy clothes torn by his men, he said expressionlessly.

Everyone acted immediately, and the chaotic situation returned to normal.Several burning trucks and half-tracks were pushed to the side of the road, and the wounded were taken to ambulances with red cross signs.The bodies of several unlucky soldiers were put into dark body bags and dragged onto a truck.

Ten minutes later, two people in air force flight suits were escorted by several grenadiers in camouflage uniforms.Looking at the bruises and bruises on their faces, it is not difficult to imagine that these people have just been beaten violently.

"General!" Seeing the man in the uniform of the general in front of him, the two pilots hurriedly saluted him.

"You guys are fine!" Looking at the two pilots who had become no different from pig heads, he was furious.He pointed to the identification mark of the five-clawed golden dragon flag hanging on the back of his chariot and said loudly to him: "You didn't see such a big flag hanging on the car, and you didn't see the three orange flares we fired. Throwing bombs on our heads as if nothing happened, are you all blind? Is this how your Minister Feng taught you to fight?"

"That's right, General!" A pilot said in a low voice: "We are the pilots of the 11rd Squadron of the [-]th Squadron of the Second Air Force. Our mission is to destroy the traffic line from Calais to Arras. Since you have not Inform us in advance, so we regard you as the enemy's marching column, as for the flag!" While talking, the pilot looked at the angry general carefully, and then continued: "We suspect that this is the enemy's marching column." Fake. Also, maybe due to the sunlight, we didn’t see the flare, so we continued to attack!”

After listening to the other party's explanation, I almost fainted, but after thinking about it carefully, what the other party said made sense.After all, his speed is too fast, greatly exceeding the expectations of the Imperial Air Force.Furthermore, the other party's explanation is also reasonable, after all, my existing means cannot be discovered in time by the pilots in the sky.What's more, it is impossible to completely avoid such things as air force misfires. In the Sino-US war, the American communication system was so powerful that the frequency of misfires was as high as 15%.

Thinking of this, he sighed heavily, and then said to the young lieutenant Huang Jun standing behind him: "Take them to the liaison vehicle, tell them to notify their wing and explain the situation. Then ask the doctor to show them Look. By the way, give each of them a bottle of Moutai!"

Having said that, he waved his hand and boarded his armored vehicle.

Three minutes later, the armored vehicle started moving again and merged into the vast traffic flow.

Although this oolong air attack did not cause any serious losses, it did a great blow to the morale of the dragon army that was advancing at high speed.It also slows down their speed.More importantly, whenever there is an aircraft in the sky, whether it is an enemy aircraft or a dragon army aircraft, whether it is a fighter, bomber, reconnaissance aircraft or transport aircraft.As long as it is an airplane, all vehicles stop without exception and then quickly spread out to both sides, while the anti-aircraft gunners are nervously facing the sky, for fear that the other party will launch another air raid, so it was the evening of the 28th.The troops advanced only as far as the town of Berg, 30 kilometers from Calais.

At the same time, in Vincennes, the commander-in-chief of the French army, Gan Molin, had just finished the joint meeting. The current situation made the old man feel worried.The high-speed penetration of tanks and mechanized troops, the tight air-ground coordination and infantry-tank coordination, coupled with the quicksilver-like attack, made him, a veteran with decades of combat experience, feel a little at a loss.He really couldn't figure out how those stupid Chinese would have such a genius tactic.

While he was thinking about these issues, Lieutenant General Verlan, who was in charge of intelligence collection and analysis, walked up to him quickly.

"General, there is a very bad thing!" The lieutenant general said straight to the point.While talking, he took out several large-scale black and white photos, "This was taken by our air force reconnaissance plane on the road from Saint-Omer to Calais in the morning. You see, this is a tank column. The flag of the dragon army is clearly visible!"

"Calai!" Hearing what the other party said, Gan Molin trembled suddenly, he quickly grabbed the photo handed over by the other party, put on his glasses and looked at it carefully.After a while, he let out a long sigh, "Notify our people to speed up their retreat, and besides, tell the defenders in Calais to stand firm!" After speaking, he lowered his arms and sighed slightly, as if he was old Like 10 years old.

Calais, a city in the Calais-Pas-de-Pas-department in France, has a population of about 5 and is also the closest road to the UK.Because it is close to Dover-Calais, the narrowest part of the English Channel, the nearest British city to Calais is Dover, so Calais and Dover are the closest ferry between France and the UK.The old city of Calais is on an artificial island surrounded by canals and ports.Calais New Town is [-] miles southeast.

Historically, Calais was originally a fishing village, with many waterways and inner bays nearby.In 997 AD, the Earl of Flanders, De Valraudin, took a fancy to this place and began to build Calais Castle.In 1224 AD, Eustace, Count of Boulogne, sent troops to fortify Calais.During the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France, the French army failed in the Battle of Crecy, but Calais, as a fortress, resisted the siege of the British army for a year. Due to the lack of ammunition and food, it surrendered in 1, during which there were 1346 times The citizens of Calais surrendered voluntarily and became hostages of the British army in order to save the people of the city.Artist Rodin once sculpted a group of portraits to commemorate this famous event.

In 1588, the Duke of Deguis of France defeated the British army near Calais, thus regaining the city of Calais. The Calais area became famous in France because of the "recovery area".But the good times didn't last long. The Spanish Empire that rose in 1596 defeated France, which was fragmented at the time, and occupied this place.But in 1598, things took a turn for the better.According to the Treaty of Vervins, Calais was taken back by France.By 1805, in order to attack Britain, Napoleon stationed nearly 8 legions in Calais.
