At an altitude of 1,500 meters, the continuous sound of artillery fire like a chainsaw echoed like summer thunder.
The nine airships slowly circled in the air. At this moment, they turned into dancers in the air, like dancing a waltz in the air. In this deathly circle, the 30 mm plus in the cabin
With a rate of fire of up to 2,500 rounds, the Trin gun poured out the music of death towards the ground.
In this way, the aircraft is hovering with the target as the center, so that the Gatling cannon in the cabin can always face the enemy and fire. Such an attack does not even require aiming, and only needs to adjust the cannon mount.
Just aim at the target on the ground at an angle.
Compared with "nails" or aerial bombs relying on luck, such aerial bombardment is more accurate and has better killing effect.
"Boom boom boom...!"
Small shells exploded in the formation of the German army. The explosion covered a large area, and the crowded formation increased their casualties.
Thousands of small artillery shells, just like thousands of hand grenades. They were accurately "thrown" at the feet of the German soldiers. Before doing so, they first penetrated their bodies and tore their bodies into two pieces.
.
The explosion of the shell occurred at the moment it penetrated their bodies. The shell exploded in the air and further exerted its power. Millions of shell fragments roared in the air, harvesting the lives around them wantonly.
.
This is the steel rain of death that human flesh and blood cannot resist.
Under the near-destructive artillery fire, tens of thousands of Prussian officers and soldiers of the Sixth Army either turned into piles of broken flesh and corpses, or fled around like headless flies. The originally high-spirited team had already
Completely in chaos.
No one knows what's going on, but everyone knows that staying here is waiting to die!
grim Reaper!
The god of death falling from the sky is harvesting all of their lives unscrupulously.
"Quick, run away to the woods, they can't see the target in the woods..."
As Herbert ran, he pointed at the woods and shouted to his men. Finally, when he escaped to the woods, he raised his head and looked at the sky with a look of horror on his face!
After checking the results, for the son of the prime minister, war is full of romantic feelings and a manifestation of the value of life, but what about now?
What he saw was more terrifying besides death? In the face of this death, each of them was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, they could only wait helplessly for death to come to them.
This kind of despair can only be understood by those who have experienced it personally. At this moment, he finally understood why those who had witnessed the airship bombing used all the languages in the world to describe its horror.
It is indeed very scary. If there is a devil in the world, then the airship must be his representative in the world.
The airship is coming!
Nanhua's airship is coming!
What did they bring?
die……
die!
While the death steel rain shrouded tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Sixth Army, on the top of the mountain in the distance, several Prussian officers were observing the southern sky with telescopes.
"Will they come?"
"They must be on the way!"
The "they" in the officers' mouth refers to the airships. After the Spaniards discovered the airship fleet that "blocked the sky", the Prussian army not only intensified the bombardment of Sedan, but also sent a search team.
Look for airship troops in the sky.
airship!
Even though the Prussian army had the best cannons, soldiers and an excellent officer corps, not only did they not have airships, but this weapon was extremely powerful!
God can testify that in the past few months, European newspapers have been full of reports about airships. Its power and power have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Faced with this unprecedented and powerful weapon, European countries
What can be done?
The British and French took advantage of their diplomacy to purchase airships, but what about Prussia?
Prussia failed to buy an airship, but they certainly wouldn't be beaten passively!
Krupp immediately began to develop a breech-loaded 37 mm "ballon kanoe", which is an anti-balloon cannon. This time, in order to stop Nanhua's airship troops, the Prussian army invested all thirty balloon cannons. The artillery was installed on
On a four-wheeled carriage, the overall weight is not large and can be quickly deployed by horses. When the airship is discovered, the carriage can be used to pull it close to the airship and deploy at a suitable location to launch an attack.
He shouted and blew the whistle at the same time. Dozens of carriages were parked at the bottom of the hillside. After receiving the order, Captain Hansen and others immediately ordered the troops to move forward. Soon they arrived at an open area with thirty gates.
The balloon cannons immediately dispersed. The gunners held the balloon cannon like a large rifle. The shooter aimed at the air by holding the butt of the gun like a rifle. Its barrel was mounted on a small-caliber naval gun similar to the one used by the navy.
On the gun mount, the artillery barrel, which is more than one meter long, is pointing straight into the air.
"They... seem to be flying very high!"
Karl, who was riding a horse, said to himself. Looking at the airship flying overhead, the gunners opened fire.
"all……"
While thirty "horse-drawn self-propelled anti-aircraft guns" fired one after another, the observers on the airship who were searching for ground targets also discovered this small group of enemies.
"What are they doing... shelling!"
Suddenly, the observer shouted loudly.
"The Prussians are firing their cannons at us!"
For the airship troops who had never been attacked before, such a bold attack was simply unimaginable. Many crew members even looked curiously towards the ground. When they saw the clouds of smoke rising from the ground, they thought in their minds
Just one thought?
Can the Prussian artillery hit them?
The answer is of course no. That small 37mm cannon is simply impossible to pose any threat to an airship at an altitude of 1,500 meters.
Even though the Prussians aimed very accurately, the shells missed without exception. The firing height of those 37 mm cannons was only about five to six hundred meters at most. They could not pose any threat to the airship at all.
"How the hell can their airship fly so high?"
While Karl was shouting excitedly and wanting to spit at the sky, Li Du, the commander of the airship unit, frowned and used his binoculars to observe the unique-looking self-propelled helicopters mounted on carriages on the ground.
As he fired the gun, an ominous omen surged in his heart.
The Europeans have found weapons to counter airships! They actually made cannons for attacking airships.
When the airship flew towards the enemy's artillery position, Li Du deliberately used his binoculars to observe the anti-aircraft guns that hit the airship.
"It was actually installed on the carriage and followed here..."
When Li Du was surprised that the Prussian "anti-aircraft guns" were so advanced, he did not know the desperation of the Prussian balloon cannon shooters on the ground at this time. They desperately aimed at the target in the air, even though they tried their best to
They wanted to shoot down those airships, but they found in despair that their shells could not reach each other at all.
Even the speed can't keep up with others.
"Damn, they..."
Suddenly, Karl was stunned by what he saw. In front of him, the gray wilderness turned completely red.
Gray is the color of the Prussian military uniform, and red...is blood! As the flesh and blood collapsed, gray pieces fell down in pieces, and life fell in pieces like wheat in a wheat field.
The blood and fire were so straightforwardly presented before Major Carl's eyes that he even reined in his horse in fear.
fear!
Boundless fear instantly enveloped his body and mind. Is this the death caused by the airship?
