Chapter 12: Emergency Liftoff (Revision)

"Woo......"

The long, muffled sirens echoed over the airport.

Looking up at the sky, still shrouded in hazy clouds, the pilots who heard the sirens were straight, and it was obvious that this was not a suitable weather for flying and combat.

"Is there something wrong with the base?"

Today, the sound of sirens heralds the end of the pilots' idleness life.

However, it is clear that the commanders did not expect the Germans to choose this time to attack. According to the weather forecast, tomorrow the weather will improve to the extent of air combat.

The cold air outside the tent and the sound of alarms that had been fighting for a while only cheered up Tang Yunyang, who had been quite idle since joining the army.

As a "new recruit", this time I have to play a real war that I can't save or repeat, and I can't help but get excited in my heart. The secretion of adrenaline made his heart beat faster, and even his body trembled slightly.

The head that emerged behind Tang Yunyang was Jane, who was still only wearing a shirt. Merlin. The slightly scattered long blond hair hung down to her shoulders, and it was more sultry and charming than usual.

Hearing the sirens blaring in the base, she felt a pang of worry in her heart.

"Oh my God, is it today?"

The love of war always needs to face the moment when this cruel war comes. Or last night was still lingering on the death, and tomorrow he has already confirmed his loyalty and courage in a bloody battle.

Despite the fear of the future, whether you want to or not, the duty of a soldier cannot be replaced by love. When the sirens sound, it is time for parting.

Don't think about it, Jane. Merlin quickly turned around and took Tang Yunyang's coat from the tent, but the hand that grabbed his clothes was reluctant to let go, and an inexplicable fear completely conquered her.

Her blue eyes were full of worry and sorrow, and her trembling red lips spat out all her hopes.

"Be careful...... I'll wait for you to come back! ”

Tang Yunyang let out a long breath, trying to suppress the excitement in his heart, and glanced at Jane seriously. Merlin then reached out to grab her chin and tried her best to kiss her with a relaxed smile.

"Prepare to welcome me back, rest assured, dear Jane, you are with me above the blue sky!"

Simple. Merlin nodded, trying to endure the tears that were about to leave his eyes, and the words in his mouth seemed to confirm Tang Yunyang's words.

"Above the blue sky, I am with you!"

After completing the "farewell ceremony", Tang Yunyang did not hesitate, while he was busy putting on his military uniform, he quickly ran towards the meeting place.

Simple. Merlin leaned weakly against the doorframe, like a wife, and covered his mouth with his hand, tears streaming silently. Hidden in tears, the eyes that had been following his figure were full of sorrow, and his trembling heart began to pray.

As always, when the pilots arrived, a map was already ready on one wall of the hangar. Lafitte Jr. his commander Jojes. Captain Senott was already waiting in his clothes. Looking at these young men under his command, his heart was slightly uneasy.

Of course, yesterday the ban on leaving the camp had been issued, and the overindulgence of life had been curtailed, but it was clear that these fellows had not rested enough last night. Although I was worried, war was an urgent matter, so I could only ask God to bless these guys.

"This time, we reckon the Germans were retaliating for their failure to bomb Paris, and that the targets they attacked might have foreshadowed their imminent attack. At this point......"

The pilots were either with their eyes open and, or they were still tidying up their clothes, and some of the guys who had drunk a lot last night were signaling to the orderlies for more coffee or smoking cigarettes in their hands.

Still, they looked up and looked seriously at the map in front of them. Captain Senott, where his baton pointed, listened carefully to the briefing on the mission.

"The fortified area of Verdun was under attack, and according to the reports of the front-line listening teams, the enemy had about ten bombers in action, as well as several airships. Due to the clouds, it is impossible to observe effectively, and it is estimated that there must be quite a few fighters covering today, and ......"

Speaking of which, he subconsciously looked at the sky, and of course all he could see in the hangar was the roof.

"As you have just seen, the clouds are not high today, which is very suitable for the Germans to hide from the fire of the anti-aircraft guns. So your task is to stop them, and be careful, I guess they are here today to avenge the last kill! ”

On that note, Joe Jace. Captain Senott had no accurate information, but from the instinct of an air commander, he was not mistaken.

The purpose of the German operation was twofold, one was to bombard the artillery barricades of the large mouth army in the fortified area before the battle of Verdun.

The location of these fortresses of large-caliber artillery, which had long attracted the attention of German intelligence, was known to the Germans with great accuracy. For their sturdy defenses, this time they specially dispatched airships that are often used to bomb cities.

This is due to the fact that the large load of the airship can be loaded with heavy bombs relative to the aircraft. The bombers were used to suppress the anti-aircraft guns near Verdun, as well as to attack the French army's material dumps, transportation hubs and other targets.

As for the escort side, due to the last bombing of Paris, passing through Mike. The Newburgh 11 was converted by the Prince Company, and they suffered considerably.

So, this time, there were almost 200 fighters, and they not only used all the things they learned from the captured French pilots, such as "aviation standard cartridge belts, helmets", etc.

Among the 200 aircraft, nearly 70 were Albatross D fighters that had just been put into the front line, and in addition to the element of retaliation against the Allied air forces, the battle also had the purpose of testing its combat effectiveness.

Looking at the appearance of these young men as they rushed to their planes, Jojes. A smile tugged at Captain Senot's lips.

"Good luck to you!"

As their commander, he knew that the life of his men was a little more casual than that of French and British pilots. But when they got into the cabin, they were all alive and well.

In the overcast sky, the Allied planes began to climb higher in batches. Jojes. Captain Senot's gaze was on Frank. Behind Luke's plane is the future ace of flight that he is optimistic about.

On the fuselage of his plane is his distinctive emblem, the brightly colored steel eagle.
