The airship flew at an altitude of eight thousand meters and dropped heavy bombs one by one.

In the huge airspace and the pitch-black sky, it is not easy for anti-aircraft guns to hit an airship when firing blindly.

This is no different than using a cannon to kill mosquitoes!

But the French artillery kept firing into the air.

If you capture one while hiding it, it will be a meritorious service. At least you can fool it tonight!

A few days ago, the two sides were at each other's throats. The troops were all mixed together!

High-altitude bombing is not accurate at all. Even if the airship wants to bomb at night, it is afraid of accidentally injuring its own people.

But things are different now. More than three-quarters of Tsaritsyn is occupied by the French army.

The Ming army only had the railway station and a small position nearby.

Things suddenly became simple. Avoid the area near the train station. Shells can explode and bombs can be thrown casually in other places.

That night, Tsaritsyn completely descended into hell.

More than 60% of the buildings in the city were destroyed, but after this night, there were basically few intact buildings in the city!

In addition to broken bricks and tiles, there are also bullet holes as deep as one person on the street.

If you accidentally fall while walking, you may break your leg if you are lucky, or break your neck if you are unlucky.

The old monkey was lying on the water tower, watching Tsaritsin set off like fireworks.

The feeling of the earth shaking came over me again and again. It was a little uncomfortable at first, but later it felt very comfortable.

It's so enjoyable, so fucking relieving.

After suffering so much anger, I can finally see these French people being unlucky.

"Where is our airship? Send our airship to bomb the Ming people." Napoleon's roar could be heard clearly even from twenty meters away.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, if the airship wants to bomb, it must fly at a high altitude. If it flies at a low altitude, it will be easily shot down by the Ming army.

But flying at high altitudes, the accuracy of bombing cannot be guaranteed, and our own people will be bombed."

Forion helplessly explained to the furious Emperor.

There is no way, his brother is the leader of the airship unit, this is definitely the time to test the brotherhood.

"Don't be afraid, let our airships dispatch. Bomb, bomb them." Napoleon couldn't care less. Anyway, the Ming army's airships were dispatched, and the French airships were also dispatched.

This time, Forion couldn't do anything.

His Majesty the Emperor is determined, and he cannot stop it.

In the second half of the night, French airships were also dispatched.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army at the train station did not shoot into the sky. It was as if there were no anti-aircraft guns deployed here!

Damn it, do you think I’m stupid?

The French airship unit was not fooled and kept its altitude steadily at 8,000 meters.

Anyway, His Majesty the Emperor also said that high-altitude bombing can be carried out.

High-altitude bombing is totally out of the question.

Even the Ming army, which invented the airship, could not guarantee the accuracy of high-altitude bomb drops.

The French..., they haven't even conducted training on high-altitude bomb dropping.

Coupled with the extreme nervousness of the pilots, many bombs were dropped into the areas occupied by the coalition forces.

The coalition forces had just been bombed by the Ming army. Before they could wake up, they were bombarded indiscriminately by their own troops.

The anti-aircraft artillery units responded quickly and still fired blindly at the sky.

If you don't fire, you will probably be scolded by your superiors.

If you can't hit it with your ultimate move, hit it first and then talk about it.

I don’t know if it’s because the French pilots were just unlucky, or because the Allied anti-aircraft artillery units were technologically advanced.

A cannonball hit the airbag of an airship without missing a beat and exploded. The airship immediately turned into a huge fireball.

Watching the fireball falling from the sky, the coalition anti-aircraft artillery troops cheered.

Then, the anti-aircraft fire became more fierce. Throughout the area occupied by the coalition forces, the anti-aircraft fire caused thousands of pear trees to bloom.

It's a pity that they were never able to achieve such brilliant "results" after that.

Although they did not achieve victory, the misfortune of the French airship troops was not over.

The French pilot was reporting the status of the anti-aircraft artillery unit via telegraph.

Several Ming Army Stuka fighter jets appeared in the night sky like ghosts.

In the sky, they could tell at a glance which was the Ming airship and which was the French airship.

Because the Ming Army airship had a string of small yellow lights hanging on the back of the airbag.

Because of the angle, people on the ground can't see these small lights, but Stukas flying higher than them can easily see them clearly.

This time it’s simple. The ones with lights are Ming airships, and the ones without lights are naturally French airships.

After clearly distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy, the Stuka began a dive attack.

The huge airbag of the airship is the best target.

One machine gun bullet tore huge holes in the air bag.

A leaking air bag will deflate quickly.

It is easier for a Stuka to deal with an airship than for a hawk to deal with a pigeon.

When they attacked the airship, not even the airship pilot knew it.

Seeing the airship falling, the airbag quickly loses pressure. They will desperately replenish the airbag!

The result is that no matter how much air you add, you can't keep up with the rate of air leakage.

In the end, it could only fall like an airship or a top.

In desperation, the pilot of the airship could only drop all the heavy bombs at once.

Those coalition soldiers on the ground were once again baptized by their own bombs.

Because it is thrown down at once, it often causes a concentrated explosion.

The power of the explosion is much greater than that of a single bomb.

Many French soldiers hiding in bunkers were killed alive by such an explosion inside the fortifications.

The Stuka dived and attacked from the top of the airship again and again. The machine gun shot fragments of the airship's air bag flying everywhere!

French airships were shot down one after another, and within twenty minutes, there was no more French airship in the sky.

Stuka flapped its wings, seeming to have some unfinished thoughts.

Unfortunately, there were no bombs mounted on the Stuka, so it couldn't be blown up a few times.

But looking at Tsaritsyn, who was in a sea of ​​fire below, it seemed that it didn't make any difference whether he carried a bomb or not.

The sun jumped up from the horizon, and the first rays of sunlight shone above the smoke.

Leclerc stared blankly at Tsaritsyn. At sunset last night, Tsaritsyn was still almost 30 to 40 percent complete.

But in just one night, there were only thirty or forty relatively complete houses left in Tsaritsyn.

There was a choking smell of gunpowder smoke everywhere, and all kinds of debris and debris were scattered on the ground.

You can't walk far before you can see charred and broken corpses.

You don't need to look at them to know that they are all corpses of French soldiers.

In the distance, Tsaritsyn Railway Station still stands there.

From Leclerc's perspective, you can just see the top of the huge water tower.

"Damn it!" Leclerc cursed fiercely.

In a wild bombing last night, the French army suffered more than 8,000 casualties. It also lost a large amount of supplies and more than 30 valuable airships.

In one night, the French army suffered heavy losses.

Leclerc sadly discovered that there seemed to be a long way to go before he could fully capture Tsaritsyn.

Even if the train station in front of us is filled with the corpses of soldiers, it is not certain whether it can be defeated.

From being confident yesterday to being pessimistic and disappointed today, just overnight, Leclerc's mood went from peak to trough.

The span is a bit big, and it's hard to adapt to it for a while.

On the other side of the battlefield, Li Xiao became full of confidence.

Because he discovered that the Ming army did not need to occupy the entire Tsaritsyn. He only needed to ensure that the train station and some nearby places were not captured!

As long as this area is not captured, the French will not be able to successfully cross the Volga River.

Without a smooth crossing of the Volga River, the French's attempt to end the war quickly would be in vain.

Moreover, when the position was reduced to only the area near the train station, the problem of insufficient troops was also solved.

The entire city is occupied by coalition forces, and large-caliber rockets can also come in handy.

I used to be afraid of accidentally hurting my own people, but now I don’t have to be afraid.

There were coalition forces inside and outside the city, and they were bombed after plane reconnaissance.
Chapter completed!
