Chapter seven hundred and eighty eighth air raid

By supporting Napoleon's arms, Li Xiao just wanted him to become big in Europe.

After he became big in Europe, England was the most intolerable. The continental balancing policy has always been England's national policy. As long as any country on the European continent is powerful, England will definitely defeat you.

For many years, England was like whack-a-mole, beating the countries on the European continent. After Napoleon became the emperor of France, the French Army swept across the European continent. This was absolutely intolerable to the English. In history, England organized time and again

An anti-French alliance.

Although Wu Sangui has established a solid foundation in India and has not heard much from the local people, he does not dare to completely leave the British mainland. After all, there are still 50,000 British troops in India. This is the absolute main force to stabilize India. In Ceylon

When the island's attack and defense were at their most brutal, Wu Sangui did not dare to use this force.

Because he knew that as long as the British army collapsed, his rule in India would also collapse.

Li Xiao thought so, but Wu Sangui didn't think so. Because he felt that his rule in India was in danger.

The Ming army occupied the island of Ceylon. In the past, they just felt that they needed to get rid of the harassment of small groups of troops. This is easy to solve. You can borrow the old method of the Liao army. Every village forms a stronghold and every household becomes a soldier. Just distribute some weapons.

, a small group of troops fell into the vast ocean of people's war, and in the end they could only be killed.

After Ceylon Island was captured, Wu Sangui began to build villages along the coast. He only waited for the Ming Dynasty's small infiltration troops to come and throw themselves into a trap!

But the way the war was launched had changed, and no one was playing this kind of infiltration by small groups anymore. Yuan Chonghuan chose to build many forts along the coast like Wu Sangui. The soldiers were waiting inside the forts. As long as anyone dared to land, they would immediately call the people behind.

Artillery fire. After one round of covering fire, even if you have thousands of troops, you will have to answer.

Just when Wu Sangui thought that the Ming army was intimidated and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the nightmare began.

On the morning of October 8th, there was a rumble in the sky. Airships took off one after another, a total of fifteen of the latest airships.

Li Hu smiled as he looked at these fifteen new airships. They were the only 10,000-ton wheel Jiaolong in the Ming Dynasty that had traveled thousands of miles to transport them to Ceylon. Along with the airships, aerial bombs specially designed for airships were also delivered.

The Jinzhou Arsenal doesn’t produce good things. Originally, an airship could carry four of the 500-kilogram aerial bombs, but now these bastards have actually produced a 2,000-kilogram aerial bomb. The two-thousand-kilogram aerial bomb, the huge airship can only

Can carry one.

In this air strike, five airships carried such devastating aerial bombs.

"It costs so much to fly here just to drop a few bombs?" Although the size of the bomb frightened Yuan Chonghuan, he still doubted what effect such a thing could have.

"Commander Yuan, you have never fought in the northwest. At that time, we did not have howitzers. If we wanted to attack the opponent's rocket launchers, we could only use airships. As long as they were targeted by the airships, the Mongolian rocket launchers would be useless.

If it weren't for the sandstorms in the northwest that affected the airship's attendance rate, it wouldn't be too hard to defeat the Mongols. But look at the weather, it's cloudless and the sky is thousands of miles away. If we don't fly over and bomb them, that would be our loss."

Li Hu was full of confidence in the airship that was gradually taking off.

The advantage of airships is that the requirements for take-off and landing sites are very low, but because today's bombs are too big, pulleys are the last resort.

The target across the channel is called Covelpati. I don’t know what the name means, and no one cares about the name of this city. What everyone cares about is that there is an ammunition manufacturing factory here.

The king of the country here has a good relationship with Wu Sangui. He thought of the convenience of manufacturing ammunition nearby. This arsenal is the third largest arsenal in India. Wu Sangui spent a lot of money here. It was also two months after the Battle of Ceylon.

The main reason why Wu Sangui has enough ammunition.

Now that the airship is here, the first thing to pull out is this thorn in the side. There is no ammunition, but it depends on how you fight this battle.

The sun rises behind you, with a fiery red fire group as the background, and fifteen airships rise to an altitude of two thousand meters.

At 8:23 in the morning, a hot air balloon appeared in the airship's field of vision.

This is an Indian observation balloon. If a fleet is seen on the sea, the hot air balloon will send out a signal immediately. The shore will be prepared to welcome the enemy's landing fleet.

The height of the hot air balloon was only one thousand meters, and the two soldiers on it carefully observed the sea surface. The sparkling sea surface was rippling with golden light, and fishing boats occasionally passed by on the sea below. There was not a single large ship, and the war had reached this point.

For this reason, no large merchant ship dares to cross the strait.

"Look, what is that?" An Indian soldier accidentally turned his head and saw some black spots in the direction of the sun. The sun was so dazzling that he could not open his eyes.

"What on earth is that?" Another Indian soldier also looked up at the sky, but his eyes were also dizzy from the sunlight.

No one answered them, so the two of them built a tent to observe.

"Click, click, click...!" The bullets that flew towards me smashed the hot air balloon into a sieve. The holes continued to deflate, and several adjacent bullet holes were opened by the hot air.

A huge hole.

"Airship! Ming army's airship." It was too late to scream now, swarms of bullets chased the falling hot air balloon. Amidst the screams of the falling hot air balloon, the two soldiers were hit by bullets with holes all over their bodies.

"Hey...!" Looking at the hot air balloon falling like a top, the machine gunner on the airship smiled. Smoke was coming from the gun, but the airship continued to fly forward.

The residents of Covelpati watched in horror as huge shadows were thrown over their heads. They didn't know what the things flying in the sky were.

People on the ground were running like ants, and there were even children clapping their hands and running after the airship.

There were old men kneeling on the ground praying, some women muttering to each other, and some young men holding up awnings and looking up to the sky.

The location of the factory is easy to find, because you only need to find the tallest and largest chimney in the city.

The airship came to the sky above the factory. An airship swayed its huge body and flew directly above the chimney. The propeller turned very slowly, and the entire airship stopped above the factory building.

"Let it go!" The bombardier kicked the pedal hard.

The entire boat shook and suddenly rose more than a hundred meters high. The propeller started spinning again, and the airship swayed its huge body and left at full speed.

"Boom!" The sky suddenly darkened, and there seemed to be only a bright light left between the sky and the earth. Smoke and dust gathered into the flames and rose into the sky, gradually forming a mushroom-shaped cloud.

With just one bomb, the ammunition factory was plunged into a sea of ​​flames. The smoke rising into the sky was higher than the airship could fly, as if a black scepter was about to poke a hole in the sky.

Communication between the airships could only rely on semaphores. The second airship was about to go over to replenish a bomb. Suddenly, there was a louder explosion from the ammunition factory, and the ground shook with this explosion.

It can be seen from the airship that people hundreds of meters away were blown away by the violent impact. The huge airship trembled violently, shaking like falling leaves in the wind. The members inside the airship felt like they were inside a basket

It was shaken back and forth like a Lantern Festival.

Houses in half the city were destroyed by this huge explosion.

Everyone understood that there was no need to replenish the ammunition. The ammunition in the arsenal had exploded. God knows how much ammunition was stored in the factory.

The airship formations turned on their maximum horsepower and looked for other targets worthy of bombing. Anyway, according to regulations, airships cannot be bounced back with them. If they are not thrown here, they can only be thrown into the sea.

Fifteen airships dropped bombs at will, and when they left, the entire city of Covelparti was plunged into smoke.
