Simple. Merlin returned to the front line, and according to Tang Yunyang, she should not be here for long.

Because he has already hit the idea of the Lafitte Squad, his goal is not only to be the pilots of the Lafitte Squad, but to make the entire Lafitte Squad a force that cooperates with the Thunder International Operation.

Of course, before Thunder International has meritorious service, all this is nothing, but if they have meritorious service, will they have a basis for bargaining? This is something to talk about later.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, even though it was a moonlit night, everything around was still extremely dark. This is also the time when people are most sleepy, whether they are the sentinels on duty or those who are immersed in sleep.

In Jane. Merlin's beautiful and romantic dream, dressed in a splendid wedding dress, sapphire suit shimmered beautifully like a dream in the sunlight reflected in the stained glass windows of the church.

"Dear Jane, even though I am an atheist, I will accept the blessing of the church for us as long as it is a situation you like!"

As the earth returns to spring, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and some of the trees in the woods have begun to sprout some buds, and it is not a few days before they say goodbye to winter. In the wee hours of the morning, the sky was filled with the sound of "buzzing" aircraft engines.

These French soldiers did not affect at all, and were still immersed in the idea of the invincibility of their own air force. It seems that night air raids are the preserve of their Entente flying forces, and the Germans must be as stupid as old cows that they can't learn anyway, but unfortunately they are wrong.

200 albatrosses, protected by more than 100 Fokker E.III, flew over the French front. As with Tang Yunyang's plan last time, the lights on the reconnaissance balloons in the sky marked the height for them, and the lights in the ground trenches pointed out the direction for them.

The promotion of the Red Duke Richthofen was overdriven by the German Crown Prince's emphasis on air power, and since the last time he was brought back from the "Hua" spacecraft, he has been promoted to the rank of second lieutenant and full of squad leaders. He was commanded by a crew of three twin-aircraft, a total of six aircraft, under his command.

"Fuck, there's no chivalry in an attack like this, are we going to be like that in the future? If that's the case, is it still necessary for me to serve in the Air Force? ”

This was the idea of a considerable number of good German pilots, and if the pilots of the French side who flew such twin-engine attack planes were not considered air knights, then it would be an even more dishonorable thing to use them, the best of the air knights, to do such a sneak attack.

The cursor on the ground disappears when it reaches the top of the battle line, and beyond that is the French ground defense. Of course, this is not difficult for the Germans, who are known for their delicate coordination, and the two reconnaissance balloons arranged vertically will provide the correct direction, and the pilots only need to turn around and see the two columns of lights, which can easily correct their flight direction. In addition, agents infiltrating France will also indicate their targets on the ground by flare or other means.

The Allied military airfield behind Verdun was their target, and the German air team, which had had enough of the suffering of the Allied air force, was going to counterattack on a large scale, this time destroying the air power of the Allied side on the ground.

At 6:30 a.m., due to the curvature of the earth, the sunlight was refracted by the clouds, making the line first appear pale in the west, in the direction of Verdun. The airfield, 50 kilometers behind it, is already clearly visible from the sky. At this time, the pilots who flew over the airfield, including the German pilots of Richthofen, were confident that their attack would be successful.

The air victory some time ago made the commander of the flying team on the side of the Entente never expect that his own airfield would be attacked on such a large scale. He thought that the air power of the Allied powers, which also had the same "machine gun fire coordinator" as Germany, would be enough to prevent German planes from flying here.

So this air raid was completely unexpected by him, "destroying enemy aircraft on the ground", the essence of air combat in future blitzkrieg, and now the Germans began to test it.

"Woo......"

At this time, the Allied pilots, who were awakened by the sound of sirens, were still immersed in the sweet dreams of marching beds in their tents. Outside the tent, along with the siren, there was the peculiar sound of the Albatross D's high-horsepower engine dive.

"What's going on? These engines sound like ......"

In the same way, the Allied pilots were a little carried away by the feeling of victory in the air battles some time ago, especially when they were able to protect the "Benlei" attack aircraft and complete ground attacks one after another, and the excessive praise they received also made them a little dizzy.

By the time the weeping sirens sounded over the airfield, the German fleet had already begun to dive. On the ground, on the airports of the Entente countries, all kinds of planes according to different purposes are lined up in neat rows as if they are being reviewed.

"Da Da Da ......"

(The first release of this book) does not laugh at group A: 35761481; Email: [email protected].

Amid the long firing of the diving albatrosses, one after another Allied planes were hit on the ground. After the dive, before re-climbing, as if throwing something cumbersome, two 12-kilogram incendiary bombs or anti-personnel bombs were thrown down to the ground.

Hangars, repair shops, or small tents where pilots live are burned into a fireball by the bombardment of incendiary bombs.

"Attacked, we were attacked......"

The Allied pilots who had survived the bombing, screaming with all their might, emerged from their tents, and the German Albatross D's swooping down in the sky were spewing tongues of fire at them, bullets kicking up clouds of smoke and dust on the ground.

One by one, the pilots held their heads in panic and ran to all the nearby places where they could hide. Unfortunately, for the convenience of aircraft taking off and landing, in addition to the long dining table in the galley, the rest of the airport is the bunker of a few machine guns or anti-aircraft guns that are specially cared for by enemy aircraft in the air.

Poor people have no way to hide, no way to hide. More pilots run to their cars, at least believing that dying in the air is what they deserve, if they are going to die.

The attack of 200 albatrosses, a single dive took care of 20,000 rounds of ammunition and 400 12-kilogram bomblets, and this single air raid damaged or destroyed 200 aircraft on the Allies side.

The albatross did not leave the place, and the anti-aircraft guns and machine guns on the airfield had been crushed by their blows. However, most of the remaining bullets will be used as cover until the group behind them has completed all the attack missions.

The Fokker E.III, which was slower and much less firepower, arrived later, and although they only had 100 of them, they also loaded another 100 bombs, and their main task was to completely destroy the remaining aircraft on the airfield and make all preparations for a ground attack.
