"Look what's that on the sea?" A British major pointed at a dark shadow on the sea.

"Don't be suspicious, that's a Ming army warship. As long as their people don't attack by boat, we can't do anything." Colonel Charles put down his telescope and said helplessly.

"Can't our artillery teach the Ming Navy a lesson?" the major said angrily.

"Haha! Teach the Ming Navy a lesson? How can it be that easy? As soon as our artillery fires, the muzzle flash will reveal its position, and then there will be an overwhelming counterattack.

The artillery position will turn into a ball of smoke and disappear."

"We can't fire when there are planes during the day, and when there are muzzle flashes at night, we still can't fire. Does that mean our cannons are useless?"

"It can be said that the direct-aiming artillery is basically useless. The howitzer is okay, but it is too difficult for the howitzer to hit a moving warship!

Basically, it's a waste of ammunition."

When Charles said this, he suddenly looked up at the sky.

There was a mechanical roar in the sky, and it sounded like an airship was flying over the position.

"Captain, there seems to be an airship."

"Damn, it's too dark. It's cloudy again, and there aren't even any stars. But it shouldn't be a German or Ming Dynasty airship!

Airships travel slowly and are huge. Being knocked down is almost certain!

It can't be from the Germans or the Ming Dynasty!" Charles muttered, but he still looked at the sky and frowned.

The roads in the rear have basically been blown up. If you want to transport supplies and ammunition to the front, airships are the fastest and most effective tool.

Every night, a large number of British airships flew to the front line, bringing much-needed ammunition and supplies to the front line.

Also, transport the wounded and sick on the battlefield.

On a flat ground five kilometers away from his command post, three huge barrels were burning with flames.

The flame only burns at the bottom of the cylinder, and the cylinder wall blocks the fire light. From the outside, there is no flame at all.

But in the sky, on the dark earth, there are three lights like this, which are like lice on a bald man's head.

The airships in the sky landed one after another.

The German soldiers, armed with live ammunition, quickly ran out of the pod. Due to strict orders before departure, no one spoke.

Everyone silently moved out the ammunition and mortars from the pods.

One airship quickly unloaded its cargo after landing, and the other airship hurriedly landed.

In less than an hour, five airships have landed in this open space.

The number of German troops on the ground has increased from a company to a battalion.

And as the airships land one after another, the number of people is still increasing.

After the German troops landed on the ground, they quickly began to organize defensive positions, and then sent out reconnaissance teams to investigate the road conditions ahead.

On the road, a group of British soldiers were patrolling with torches, and they saw another group of British soldiers wearing British uniforms.

"Which regiment are you from?" The soldiers were very surprised because this was behind their regiment's defense area. How could there be other troops patrolling here?

"We are from the Thirty-sixth Regiment. We just changed defenses here during the day. Which regiment are you from?" The person on the other side spoke with a fluent London accent and said to the British soldiers.

"Oh, they were transferred during the day. I said why didn't we know? Be careful. We fired artillery all day during the day. The Germans may attack tonight." The British soldiers kindly looked after these people who had just been transferred to defense.

"Got it! Thank you!" The other party saluted with a military salute, and the two sides passed by.

Just as the two sides were crossing each other, suddenly the team of people all pulled out daggers. When the British patrol was unprepared, the daggers were quickly inserted into their throats.

There were eight people in the entire patrol, and no one even had a chance to shoot.

Within an hour, three such things happened.

It must be said that the Germans were very well prepared in advance.

They spoke fluent English and were familiar with the British army's defense situation.

That night, an entire German division penetrated into the British position.

This is the first time in Europe that airships have been used for airborne operations on such a large scale.

The luck of the Germans was incredible. An entire division landed and killed five British patrols, but the British did not notice it at all.

They thought that these airships were here to support them.

There was even a regiment of British soldiers who specially sent officers to coordinate whether supplies could be given to them first.

As a result, the officer's neck was directly wiped. He never understood until his death why this guy in a British uniform wanted to kill him.

At 4:35 in the morning, I saw a faint hint of fish belly white on the horizon.

The German army has been assembled, and their excellent discipline has allowed them to accomplish such a feat.

They began to move towards the British positions on the coast. Although the delivery speed was not fast, uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com was very concealed.

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky was completely white. The blue sky light filled the earth, and everything could be seen clearly.

All the British troops on the position were sleeping in the trenches. Only the sentry was holding his gun and taking a nap in the trench with his head tilted to one side.

Suddenly, an artillery shell exploded on the mountain with a whistle. A large pile of soil was instantly thrown into the sky.

The sentry opened his eyes suddenly and stood up instinctively to look outside. Not only was he startled, but there were densely packed ships on the sea approaching the coast.

Just as he picked up the whistle, countless cannonballs fell from the sky.

This time, the Ming army prepared eight arsenal ships to bombard the regiment's position at the same time.

The width of the position is only five kilometers, but there are eight arsenal ships bombarding it. This does not include the destroyers, cruisers and battleships on the sea.

Explosions occurred one after another in an instant, and the number was almost inaudible.

The thick smoke generated by the explosion shrouded the entire position.

Under such a fierce bombardment, it was basically impossible to have anyone alive on the surface.

Following the shelling, groups of German soldiers were rowing boats and trying hard to get closer to the coast.

The German observer told the Ming army artillery commander to continue bombarding according to the existing scale. Even if German soldiers were accidentally injured, they would not hesitate.

As long as the German army could stand firm on the beach and not be driven into the sea by the British army, it would be worth paying some price.

If the Germans were present, the Ming army's artillery would fire artillery shells hard.

It’s all money!
