For the pilots of the Tang Army, attacking such a huge target as an airship was simply a recreational activity.
The Butcher fighter jet circled in the sky and easily reached the top of the airship, where it could not be covered by any enemy firepower and could attack the most vulnerable top airbag of the airship unscrupulously.
Because the target to be attacked is known before taking off, all fighter units use tracer bullets, which can ignite the hydrogen in the airbags of the airship. Although not as effective as incendiary bombs, the effect is much better than ordinary bullets.
At this time, the Air Force machine gun ammunition did not yet have the type of incendiary bombs, because there was not a large demand for use. Therefore, they could only be replaced by tracer bullets, which actually had about the same effect.
A Butcher fighter jet swooped close and began strafing along the back of the airship at a very close distance.
The bullet easily penetrated the hard shell of the airship, penetrated the thin skin, and rushed into the separated air bags.
Some bullets also cut off the brackets that support the hard shell. These fragile brackets caused sparks with the bullets, and then quickly broke apart due to slight insufficient twist.
With a squeaking sound, the air bag began to collapse and be damaged, and the hydrogen gas inside overflowed. When it encountered sparks, it exploded and burned violently, swallowing up everything around it.
In just an instant, the entire top of the airship was on fire, and you could even see the black shadow of the mesh support that had not been completely melted, swaying in the flames.
The next second, the explosion swallowed up the cockpit attached to the bottom of the airship, and then the bombs and hydrogen bottles in the magazine also exploded.
In just ten seconds, the airship crashed into the sea, ending its glorious life. It was still a ball of flame until it hit the sea.
Facing fighter jets, the fragility of the airship was exposed at a glance. They were unable to protect their huge, slow and fragile airbags. This was the biggest weakness of the airship.
Because it was a long-distance raid and it had to sail on the sea, it was impossible for these airships to deploy machine gun shooters on the airbags to increase their defense. Therefore, they could only be beaten passively, and there was no way they could do anything about it.
As for the machine guns installed on both sides of the cockpit, they are not prepared for air defense. Their main function is ground suppression...
It is a bit overconfident to expect these weapons to pose any threat to the Butcher fighter jets. These weapons do not even have basic anti-air sights, and whether they can hit them completely depends on the shooter's enlightenment.
Yes, epiphany, they have not received anti-air attack training, and some of them are even just infantry machine gunners.
They were pulled over and placed in these shooting positions. Their legs were weak because of their fear of heights. Only the devil knew how much of their combat effectiveness they could retain.
Soon, the third airship was also ignited by tracer bombs, and the huge explosion once again illuminated the sky, even making the figures of the other airships more obvious.
Because there was so much firelight, the surrounding clouds seemed to be on fire. The scene in front of me even felt a bit magnificent, and it seemed to have nothing to do with cruelty.
But in fact, in the eyes of the crew of Cyric's airship, such a wonderful sight was like the gates of hell had opened.
Standing at his command position, the commander of the Cyric airship unit closed his eyes in pain.
Their attack was based on confidentiality from beginning to end. They could not be discovered, otherwise the mission would fail.
Now, they have been discovered, so at this moment, they can only wait for death.
This is definitely a kind of sadness, a kind of sadness that you have already lost at the beginning, but you can choose to die after 20 minutes.
The ceiling of the Butcher fighter jet exceeds 10,000 meters, and the maximum ceiling of the airship cannot reach this height at all. Therefore, when the Butcher fighter jet dives downward, the crews on these airships cannot even see who is attacking them.
Their perspective can only overlook the earth, so they don't know whether they have been attacked before they are swallowed up by the fire.
The speed competition is even more of a joke. Although they are faster than ships on the water, compared to fighter jets, the speed of airships is simply stationary.
The feeling of waiting for death is not pleasant. This feeling of knowing that you are already dead but the god of death does not knock on the door makes you crazy.
There was even a crew member on the airship who fell into a state of madness because he was afraid of being burned to death. He opened the hatch and jumped out of the airship, then fell into the sea and disappeared without a trace.
When you jump from this height, there is actually no difference between hitting the water and hitting the concrete floor. The scene in the movie where you jump from a thousand meters high and directly hit the water without any harm is basically the same in reality.
Impossible to appear.
The world diving records of about 100 meters are all set by professional athletes, and this is already the extreme height for diving into the water from a high altitude. If it were dropped into the water from a higher height, it would be almost like a mollusk when fished out.
Therefore, for the crews in the cockpits of these airship troops, they now have three choices: jump and fall to death, wait and be burned to death, or wait until they are burned and then jump to enjoy double the excitement.
The people on the airship, who were overlooking the jumping warriors and splashing water on the sea, looked up and found that their roofs had been melted by the burning flames.
Before they could scream, they were engulfed by the flames and turned into curled and twisted coke. Then the coke fell together with the changed cockpit, shattered before entering the sea, and finally submerged with the flames.
Sea.
"Chug!" A Butcher fighter jet continued to dive, and the bullets left a row of bullet holes on the outer shell of the airship.
Before he pulled it up, he saw the flames spurting out of the bullet holes, and he knew that his attack had worked.
A few seconds later, the out-of-control flames exploded behind him. Even if he didn't look back, he could still feel the light shining behind him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not far away, an airship seemed to have finally figured it out. It began to lower its altitude. This may be its only chance.
If they could make an emergency landing near the sea, they seemed to have a chance of survival. The remaining options were all a dead end.
This is a massacre, a massacre of advanced weapons against backward weapons. Facing the technological weapons of World War II, the weapons of World War I level did not even have room to fight back.
"Damn... we can't even see them!" An airship operator tried hard to see clearly what was happening above his head.
But when he pressed against the glass of the airship, he could only see the edge of the hard-shell airbag. He could see the swooping Butcher fighter jets above other airships in the distance, but he couldn't see if there was such a plane above his head.
circling.
Soon, he knew.
Because the airbag above his head began to catch fire, he could see that the flames had engulfed the airbag and were about to carry the burning gas in the airbag and spread to the airship's cab.
"Lower the altitude! The commander ordered all airships to lower their altitude!" The captain of the airship was shouting excitedly. He had finally received a decent order since the beginning of the war.
But just as he shouted the order, he realized that he no longer had to carry out the late order: above his head, the pipelines were already burning, the air was full of scorching flames, and his lungs seemed to be boiling.
Already.
"Keep attacking continuously! Pay attention to the fuel!" The commander of the Tang Army who was directing the battle reminded his pilots as he watched the fighter jets at his feet attacking the heavy and fragile airship.
"Understood!" The novice pilots who were attacking excitedly responded to their instructors' orders - this was much more enjoyable than their target shooting and dogfighting, it was simple and spectacular!
At this time, another group of fighter jets flew in from a distance. This was the search formation from other areas rushing over.
Now that the enemy has been found, it makes no sense for them to stay in other airspaces. It's natural for them to come and get a share of the pie.
Soon these aircraft joined the battle, and then the situation became a bit chaotic. Everyone wanted to make some achievements, so they started to fight.
Cyric's airship troops, who were all descending in altitude and looking for a chance to survive, were in despair because the opponent did not give them a chance to escape.
A few attacks can cause an airship to fall quickly. The speed of the airship's descent cannot be compared to the speed of machine gun bullets.
Just when Cyric's commander on the airship was despairing, the third batch of Tang Army planes appeared in his sight again.
As for what? For a moment, he felt that Tang Jun's savage operation was too much. Can't he be given a way to survive? Can't he be given some dignity?
Just as he was cursing bitterly in his heart, his airship also began to burn. Now, there are really not many airships left in the sky.
There was originally a huge formation of more than 50 airships, but now there are not even ten airships flying in the sky.
The airship force of more than 1,000 people, as well as so many expensive airships, were destroyed in such an unknown location in less than 20 minutes.
"Damn it." The Cyric commander cursed before being burned into charcoal by the flames, and then the clothes on his body suddenly burned.
The steering wheel and microphone beside him began to twist and deform, and then these burning things crashed into the sea water along with the falling cabin, scattering into the dark abyss.
Two minutes later, the last Cyric airship crashed, and various things were floating on the sea. These were the last things left in this world by this airship force.
They witnessed the existence of this airship force and became the last evidence that they had been here.
