These were some changes before the Battle of the Somme, the future three carriages of the German army, which were passed by Tang Yunyang in his hands, and the trust of Prince Wilhelm was brought together.

At this time, they were 29 years old for Manstein, 28 years old for Guderian and 25 years old for Rommel. Their armored assault brigade will become the main force of the assault after the completion of the task of "luring the enemy deeper" in Falkenhein.

In other words, the fate of France and Germany was in their hands.

Like Manstein, Guderian and Rommel were surprised by their transfer, and they did not know why. They don't know how to feel if they know that they and the other two are being seen by someone because of something they haven't done.

And they didn't expect that Xia Fei would command the French army to attack so quickly, and their training time would be even shorter. Despite this, they have also been trained mainly in offensive formations, pause shooting, communicate with lights, flares, and other means of communication.

Although the coordination of the whole force has not yet reached the agility of the arm's fingers, they can already show the momentum like a wild wave when they attack.

When the French offensive began, Falkenhain ordered the Germans on the front line to resist desperately for 15 days. In other words, they only have 15 days left, including preparations for battle.

Another important factor is the need to win the air battle before the offensive can be launched. In addition to the "deer hunting force", this is another major factor that played a major role in the success of this campaign.

Because in the second phase of the Battle of the Somme, the battle in the air was extremely fierce.

"Aha, these camels are stupid!"

Richthofen, a red baron in a large red "Fokker Dr.1", leads his squad to patrol the airspace where there are no Allied combat aircraft.

Today is the first day of the war, and his record has increased by five.

The pilots of the French "Flying Stork Squadron" will not act as unscrupulously as this kid. And even in the process of returning to the base after their defeat in the air. And not a single one threw those, "fucking damn burdens" away.

It was this guy who told Rommel's name to the German Crown Prince William, and at the same time, Marianne Witch, who had been listening to German Telegraph, told Tang Yunyang about it.

These news also made Tang Yunyang's suggestion a logical thing, and for the three main generals of the German Wehrmacht in the future, he Tang Yunyang liked it very much!

In the first wave of air battles, the German flying team won by a large score. To this end, the French side urgently assembled the "Tomcat" heavy air superiority fighters they could find, as well as some "Spard S.VII.", and prepared to immediately take off into the air to cover the subsequent attack of the "Benlei" attack aircraft.

However, it must be said that the Germans were often more than one grade higher than the French and British allied forces in terms of tactical use. As a large number of "Camel F.1s" returned with war wounds, something that a coalition commander did not want to see.

Hellkenfain was well aware that in this defensive operation, the German Second Army was stationed in well-protected fortified territory. And reinforcements are coming in a steady stream from the Verdun area and from the rear. But if you want to resist the attack of the powerful armored forces of the British and French forces, then air superiority is an extremely important thing.

In particular, air superiority was also an important guarantee for the future launch of air strikes by auxiliary armored assault brigades, for which he planned this operation. Even, in order to achieve the purpose of the raid this time, the German "Albatross DII-A" fighter-bomber changed its livery.

As the "Camel F.1" dragged black smoke one after another, the "Albatross DII-A", which cleverly followed them and hid in the air, swooped down with an ominous scream when the "Camel F.1" landed, and even the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns protecting the airfield were completely unnoticed.

"Look, the pilot of that plane is crazy, isn't it...... Hey......! Ah, prepare, that's the ......."

However, the soldier never had a chance to shout again. A large number of "Albatross DII-A" fighter-attack planes appeared in the sky above the airfield of the British and French forces, and with the surprised shouts of the anti-aircraft gunners, they swooped down at an alarming speed.

As the ground got closer, they each fired at their respective targets.

Surprisingly, their target was neither the Tomcat heavy air superiority fighters that were ready to go, nor the fighter group of the "Spad S.VII.", but the anti-aircraft guns in and around the airfield.

With the "Albatross DII-A" like athletes diving on a high platform, one after another plunged down from the sky, the big airport of the Allied combined air power became lively!

One by one, the 12-kilogram bombs broke away from the hooks in the belly bomb bay of the "Albatross DII-A" and swooped down on the anti-aircraft guns like falcons diving from the sky.

In the midst of the loud explosion, clouds of yellow and green smoke rose from the airfield where the Allied air teams were stationed. Having never thought of equipping pilots with gas masks, the commander of the Allied flying team was stunned, and soon he grabbed his military cap and covered his mouth and nose and fled into the distance.

The pilots of those fighters preparing to take off, like the ground crew, fled into the distance. The only pilots who flew Tomcat's heavy air supremacy fighters didn't care much about the smoke because their cockpits were airtight.

Although the fuselage has heavy armor, the Tomcat heavy air supremacy fighter has a powerful engine that allows them to fly as quickly as possible after a short run.

The pilots of the world's most advanced fighter were convinced that they would only be able to take to the skies. Then it is possible to teach these well, the pilots of the odious German "Albatross DII-A" who constantly swooped down from the sky.

However, the "Albatross DII-A" fighter-bombers, which used poison gas bombs and anti-personnel bombs, were only the first wave of surprise attacks. As the yellow-green smoke above the airfield thinned out more and more by the breeze in the field, something appeared in the sky that the Allied pilots did not want to see.

These were not new playthings, they were twin-engine "Gotha G.III." bombers of Germany's own production. German aircraft are gradually using this bomber to replace the more efficient Tsibelin airship. This bomber is capable of carrying 500 kg of bombs, which are generally hung in the belly bomb bay.

With the arrival of these behemoths in the air, the commander of the Entente flying team suddenly understood. This time the Germans were doing the same as Verdun, and these huge and formidable creatures had come to destroy his airfields and planes.

He was right, these bombers were used to destroy the Allied airfields and the planes on them, but the bombs they carried were unimaginable that they could have achieved this purpose in such a way.

As the bombs in the belly bomb bays of dozens of Gotha G.III. heavy bombers fell, the Allied pilots were horrified to find that they had dropped pieces of incendiary bombs. It is self-evident what kind of result these things will have when they fall on the airfield and in the fleet of planes that are already full of oil bombs.

As the sky scattered into a piece of incendiary bombs the size of grenades and landed, the entire Allied airfields were suddenly engulfed in flames. The wooden-skinned planes were ignited by the fire, and soon the ammunition and gasoline on the planes caused more explosions.

Large fireballs tumbled across the vast open space that served as the airport, and black smoke rose into the sky as the planes burned. Whether it is the "Tomcat" heavy air superiority fighter that is ready to attack, the fighter group of "Spad S.VII.", or the scarred "Camel F.1" fighter.

Soon after, both hangars and planes were engulfed in the fire. The detonation of the 12-kilogram bombs on board the Camel F.1 fighter jet and the unloading of the bomb added to the horror of these scenes.

Groups of ten "Gotha G.III." heavy bombers were constantly flying from high altitudes on the German side, and when they entered the bombing airspace, they lowered to the optimal altitude for bombing.

At this moment, the "Albatross DII-A," which had completed its bombing mission and had changed from a fighter-bomber to a fighter, was constantly hovering in the air in order to grasp air supremacy so as to facilitate the protection of the safety of these bombers that were constantly flying.

Even if there were a few "Tomcat" heavy air supremacy fighters or "Spad S.VII." that forcibly took off, they were surrounded and suppressed with all their might, and they could not be hindered in the slightest.

The earth trembled under the wings of the G.III. heavy bombers that were constantly flying, and the rain of incendiary bombs could not help but fall in the sky, expanding the range of the burning.

The anti-aircraft fire of the French and British troops on the periphery of the base was firmly suppressed by the "Albatross DII-A" and could not play any role. Even there are gunners who brave poison gas and bullets, intending to fight these robbers in the sky. But the rubber gas masks, which had been softened by the fire, also made them breathless at all.

Therefore, they had to leave their gun positions one by one and let the "Albatross DII-A" that was constantly diving in the sky and attacked, and did not intend to bring back the bullets. Use their 7.7mm machine guns to set the shells on fire and blow up one anti-aircraft gun after another.

"Oh my God, this is another Verdun raid!"

In the command of the British and French forces, Douglas. Haig looked at the information handed to him by Xia Fei, who was pale, and was silent. The first previous report was that the bomb-carrying "Camel F.1" fighter was defeated in an engagement with the "Fokker Dr.1".

The Allied Coalition Flying Force, with its strong air power, did not care much about those losses. But who knew that the cunning Germans would quietly follow the returning planes to attack the airfield, and the Allied planes would be burned clean with a single blow and unrelenting fire.

"General, what do we do then? I'm afraid our forward attack will have to be carried out without air support! ”

Xia Feitie blushed and looked at the clear sky outside the window. It was as if there was an Oriental face sneering at him, and there was a sad disdain in his eagle-like gaze.
