Chapter 1077: High Shooting

The momentum is violent, and the British and French airship troops who have maintained a concentrated camp are approaching quickly and coming violently, the German airship did not bravely meet it, but deliberately lowered the altitude, the distance between the two sides is still outside the range, almost a little more than 2 kilometers, but the height difference has increased significantly, reaching more than 200 meters, and with the passage of time, it has been increasing.

Although it occupies the advantage of altitude, but the Germans are different from the conventional approach, which makes the British and French forces very uncomfortable, when the altitude exceeds 500 meters, the machine gun mounted on the airship has no design angle, although it can be used in a hand-held way, the bullet density and hit rate will be greatly reduced.

What to do, it is currently at an altitude of about 2,500 meters, but the German airship is rapidly reduced to 2,300 meters, or even lower, it is obvious that they have adopted an unconventional approach, whether to continue to maintain this altitude to oppress each other, or to reduce the altitude, and keep it at an altitude of about 100 meters to 200 meters, to maintain a relative altitude difference, which has become the key in front of the commanders of the two countries.

At the British commander's airship in front, the red flag kept waving, this was the only way to communicate in the air, the old flag, which could convey some news, and the British were asking the French if they were going to lower the altitude, pursue, and ask them if they would follow.

Headache, a hint of embarrassment appeared on the face of the French airship commander, it is not easy for the airship to reduce its altitude, it is impossible to quickly lower the altitude like an airplane, his altitude is reduced, and the gas needs to be released, as long as it is put down. Rushing over again, it's very difficult. After careful consideration, France agreed with the approach of the British. Continue the pursuit.

The two sides seem to lower the altitude, the difference is that Germany lowered first, and Britain saw that Germany lowered to a certain altitude, so they approached, and in the mutual movement, the high speed of the airship exerted, from the initial engagement of more than 2 kilometers, gradually approaching. When the altitude was almost reduced to about 1,500 meters, the distance between the two sides was no more than 1,000 meters, and the British and French airship corps began to attack tentatively.

Bullets flew everywhere, and the condescending Britain and France even hit the bullets on the German airship, but fortunately, the distance was farther, the height was larger, and there were not many hits. For this moment, the German side has been preparing for a long time. Almost all the airships released several airbags in a row, and the airships fell vertically, quickly depressing to 800 meters below, and turned on the engines at low altitudes. Scatter and flee at full speed.

At this time, Britain and France were even more confused, and the previous actions of the Germans made the British and French commanders. More or less think it's a little strange why they give up on occupying high positions. But why run now? The number of airships in their hands is a little less, but it may not be without a fight. The previous 5:3 advantage was created by the Germans, and they ran away without a fight, which is not in line with the character of the Germans.

At this moment, the opportunity is fleeting, to some extent, if you give up, maybe you will lose the best opportunity, watching the German airships obviously let go of one airbag after another, the lift is no longer enough to support them to occupy the altitude, in order to pursue them, Britain and France hesitated for a moment, let go of about 600 airships, and pursued under the condition of maintaining a certain advantage, and the remaining airships remained on alert at a height of more than 1500 meters to prevent the sneak attack of German airships.

In fact, today's weather is not suitable for sneak attacks in the air, cloudless, tens of hundreds of kilometers around, can be seen clearly, airships will not be stealthy, at least dozens of kilometers away can be found, if you are expected to have a telescope, you can find it farther away, in this case, there is basically no possibility of a sneak attack.

The British and French airships were condescending, following the German airships, divided into 3 corps, and pursued them, seeing that the British and French were fooled, although they were only about 600 ships, and there were nearly 200 in the air, but for Germany, it was enough, they only focused on the air, and in the perception of Britain and France, only airships could deal with airships. I have to say that this anti-aircraft machine gun in the northwest can be said to be very level, different concepts, so that although the other party is strange, it still follows, and there is no defense at all.

The wired telephone contacted every position, all the German machine gunners, all aimed at the air, the Germans are quickly introducing the British and French airships into the preset position, in order to ensure safety, the anti-aircraft machine gun positions, basically arranged in the small woods, such woods on the land, can not cover the machine gun positions at all, you can look down from the air, but it is green. Each anti-aircraft machine gun also had a lot of camouflage, and at an altitude of several hundred meters, there was not much to be found at all. Besides, the eyes of these British and French airships were attracted by the airships in front, and they didn't feel it at all, and the killing machine was below.

The height of the airship is getting lower and lower, and the British and French airships behind it seem to be more or less visible, the other party's airship seems to be about to land, I don't know why, is it to enter the infantry position, the pursuing British and French have a bottom line in their hearts, even if they fire the other party, at a height of more than 600 meters, two or three hundred meters at a height, the general heavy machine gun can be reached, if the other party holds this idea, they will not follow, fortunately, it seems that the other party has not descended to a very low level, has always been at a height of about 700 meters, Then the horizontal escape, so that as long as it does not exceed the range of their machine guns, at most a few minutes, the victory is theirs.

The airship rushed forward frantically, wanting to pursue the other party, wanting to include the German airship in the attack range, they didn't think about what was down there, what danger would be, the other party was 700 meters, and their position was about 900 meters, which was very safe.

Looking at the opponent's airship getting lower and lower, Mark's pressure gradually increased, for him, if he started to attack at this time, he would definitely achieve results, but the results would not be very large, at most eighty or ninety ships, a lot of them, according to the price of 10 battleships, such a number of shots down can definitely be regarded as amazing, eight or nine capital ships, at any time, it is enough to call it a huge result.

However, in this way, the chance of anti-aircraft machine guns is not large, the difference between the two sides is more than 200 ships, but the loss of less than 100 airships, Britain and France still occupy a considerable advantage, the other side will definitely not make a mistake again, which is not reconciled for Germany, which has been preparing for so long.

But at this time, some German airships have been caught up by the British and French pursuing troops, and the other side will not let go of such an opportunity at all, shooting one after another, countless bullets, exploding in the sky above the German airship, after a series of previous lessons, the British and French airships also chose machine guns as offensive weapons, not only the power is huge, the range has also increased.

More and more airships were hit, especially a few of them were a little behind, almost withstanding the hit attacks of hundreds of airships, after a large number of airbags were broken and lost speed, they were beaten into a sieve in just one or two minutes.

In 5 minutes, a total of 17 airships were hit and fell by Britain and France, and Mark's heart kept tightening, each of them was an excellent soldier of the German airship unit, and they still chose to dedicate themselves when they knew that they had a better chance, without any complaints.

If it is 50 meters lower, and it is 500 meters closer to the 12 anti-aircraft machine gun arrays, most of the anti-aircraft machine guns can be reached, and in this case, it will soon be able to achieve great results.

Time, just anxiously waiting, minute by minute, no accident, British and French airship troops, it is impossible to think that Germany set up an ambush below, more than 10 minutes of pursuit, most of the airships have been reduced to a height of 850 meters, the results of the successive downed Germany, their own no losses, this is enough to prove that the other side does not have any conspiracy, if the other side runs out of the range of attack, then there is no good chance.

What Britain and France didn't expect was that when they kept chasing German airships and shot down one airship after another, they unknowingly put themselves into the anti-aircraft machine gun position, and the time was ripe, Mark picked up the phone and gave a loud order, and in a short period of time, the phone reached all the machine gun positions, and almost all of the 12 positions in this area began to attack.

I had been waiting for a long time, and I watched my robes being shot down one by one and dying in front of them, but I could only stick to my post according to the order. Now that the order has been issued, they must pour their firepower into the air in the shortest possible time, and the sooner they hit the British and French airships, the better they can protect their own airships.

All the firing trajectories were carefully calculated, and the 12 anti-aircraft machine gun positions were almost all aimed at the second half of the British and French airships divided into three parts for the first time, lined up in dense camps, and the British and French airships that wanted to completely annihilate the German airships did not expect that they would attack head-on to a stronger attack. Thousands of anti-aircraft machine guns, at a speed of more than 300 rounds per minute, high-speed attack towards the sky, the metal storm formed by the bullets, after a few seconds, shrouded in the dense airship, Britain and France in order to concentrate firepower, play the role of machine guns, specially formed camp, under such an attack, received the most violent blow, caught off guard, at least more than 30 airships were directly injured, about half of them, can not be stabilized in the air at all.
