Alfred shouted excitedly.
Perhaps because he was too excited, even the airship hat he was usually proud of fell off. If it were normally, let alone dropped on the floor and ignored it, even if there was a little dust on it, he would
He will do everything possible to get it clean. After all, the airship hat symbolizes status. In the UK, no, in the world, what is a more proud and admirable profession than the airship pilot flying in the sky?
To say there is, is definitely a joke.
Even the Queen may not be as popular as the airship crew.
"Quick, throw down the sandbag,"
When giving the order to drop the weighted sandbags, Alfred's eyes were fixed on the aircraft in the distance.
They spread their wings like birds and flew high into the sky. Compared to the clumsiness of the airship, it was as nimble as a swallow.
"They are dancing ballet in the air..."
The sky seemed to have become a stage for airplanes. The four airplanes danced in the air like this. Compared with the rush of the British, they seemed very calm, and they just climbed up calmly.
"The British want to go high into the sky."
Ding Lei's brows furrowed slightly.
In terms of ceiling, the ceiling of airships is higher than that of airplanes, but now that there are bombs on the airships, how high can they go?
Having made up his mind, Ding Lei increased the throttle again and gained altitude by increasing the climbing speed.
"Hurry, hurry up, they are going to fly over our heads. Damn it, how do people in the Ming Dynasty have airplanes?"
Alfred stared at the climbing plane, watching them soaring freely in the sky like swallows. He was filled with envy and jealousy... and of course hatred. He hated the backwardness of the scientists of the British Empire. Why did the British
Why didn't the Empire invent the airplane?
The airship belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and so does the plane...
Oh, God!
Has the British Empire really fallen?
...At this time, Alfred couldn't think about that much at all. When he watched helplessly that the plane was about to gain altitude, he asked loudly.
"Have you finished throwing away the sandbags?"
"It's already thrown away!"
"If it doesn't rise, we have to fly higher..."
As he said this, his heart skipped a beat and he spoke urgently.
"Drop the bomb!"
"What? Sir."
"Throw the bomb down! Otherwise we will all die here!"
Alfred shouted excitedly.
"Hurry up..." Finally, as Alfred shouted, the bombardier pulled the bombardment rod, and two 2,000-pound bombs were thrown from the airship cabin. The moment the bombs whizzed down, the number of bombs dropped.
The 4,000-pound airship rose rapidly.
"British guy, you respond very quickly..."
Ding Lei said this and sped up again.
After other British airships saw it, they also dropped their bombs one after another in order to gain altitude and avoid being attacked by Ming aircraft from the top of the undefended airship.
The top has always been the weak spot of airships.
Not only cannot a machine gun be installed on the top of the huge airbag, but the airbag also blocks the sight of the machine gunner in the airship cabin. Once the altitude is occupied, the airship will undoubtedly die.
In order to gain altitude and avoid being shot down, these British people also tried their best. They not only dropped the sandbags carried on the airship, but also dropped the bombs.
However, the effect of this was remarkable, and the airship without the counterweight immediately quickly rose to a high altitude.
But when Alfred dropped the bomb, he forgot one thing - below his position was an area controlled by the British army. When the airships in the sky fled from the planes in fear, many British troops on the ground still looked up. He kept his head and watched the excitement. After all, both airships and airplanes were very rare. As for the latter, it was the first time he had seen them.
It's just that these melon-eating people didn't notice it at all, or in other words, they didn't even think that the airship would drop a bomb.
When the bomb roared in, the people who were eating melons were all dumbfounded. They couldn't even believe it - what was going on?
"Isn't this our airship?"
"Yes, but why would we blow ourselves up..."
"Quick, quick, lie down..."
The British sergeants in the trenches shouted in horror. Just as they finished speaking, the sharp whistle of the bombs falling was already heard above their heads.
"Chirp...chirp..."
The sound produced when the aerial bomb's tail fin rubs against the air is sharp and harsh, and the oppressive sound is getting closer and closer.
Just like this, huge aerial bombs fell from the sky like dumplings. The sharp whistling sound did not last long. The moment they landed, the overwhelming explosion sounded!
The moment a 2,000-pound aerial bomb fell near the British position, the ground shook violently. Huge plumes of smoke suddenly exploded from the depths of the ground, and then like a volcanic eruption, hundreds of tons of smoke were blown away. The soil was thrown into the air.
Some bombs fell directly into the trenches. The moment they fell, they tore the lying British soldiers in the trenches into pieces. Their flesh, blood and soil were thrown into the air and turned into dust in the air.
The earth was trembling. At this moment, the whole world seemed to be shaking violently, and the ground was undulating like ocean waves.
For field fortifications, whether it is a 2,000-pound bomb, a 1,000-pound bomb or a 500-pound bomb, it is devastating. Although the British soldiers were lying at the bottom of the trench, the trench was not collapsed in the violent explosion. It was filled up by hundreds of tons of soil falling from the sky. As for the people in the trenches, they were directly buried alive.
Just ten seconds ago, these British soldiers who were buried alive were even eating hot pot there...well, they were looking up to the sky to watch the excitement as melon-eating people, but in just the blink of an eye, they were buried alive in the trenches among.
Even when they were buried alive, when they were about to die of suffocation, they were still thinking about a question that was puzzling - why? Why did British airships bomb the British?
"my Lord!"
For the survivors, they are all thinking about this problem, from the moment of the explosion to now, when they stand up from the choking smoke, listening to the miserable screams in their ears.
They could not figure out why the British airships in the sky would drop bombs to attack their own people.
Not to mention the British, even Shigeru Honjo and his comrades in the trenches were shocked.
"Did the British blow it up themselves?"
Honjo Shigeru murmured as he looked at the mushroom clouds that exploded on the British positions after the aerial bombs fell.
"How could they blow themselves up?"
Oda Song on the side said with a smile.
"Who knew, I might have been kicked in the head by a donkey..."
