In the early morning of June 28, 1912, from Brugge in northern Belgium to Mons in the central part to Almon in the south, the new airport established by the Luftwaffe in Belgium was busy, with more than 100,000 personnel and tens of thousands of vehicles busying themselves for thousands of war eagles that were about to fly. Since the moment of his birth, the Air Force has been the first force to be used when the battle begins. They are even more advanced than heavy artillery and armored forces!

In Almond's kg-o5 airport, the most elite kg-1 bomber brigade of the Bavarian Air Force is concentrated here, with 3 squadrons and 65 bombers preparing in three aprons. Behind each apron is a semi-buried bunker made of concrete. From time to time, carts filled with bombs and oil barrels enter and exit the bunker. After each cart goes outside, a special tractor will be responsible for pulling it down the apron.

"I repeat the mission of our squadron. We need to attack the two train gun positions No. 4 and No. 6 in the Compiène Forest. Each position is assigned 12 bombers, of which the first and second teams are responsible for attacking the artillery themselves, and the remaining two teams are responsible for attacking the surrounding ammunition storage and personnel stations. Before launching the bombing, all aircraft must ensure that the formation is flying. Even if the opponent crashes in the airplane, it must not be dispersed. Other friendly aircraft can guarantee that they will hit you before they hit you!"

"After the battle, the aircraft does not need to be reorganized into a squadron. They can return to the battlefield directly in squads. All your aircraft are equipped with receivers. Pay attention to receiving signals from ground radio stations, and determine your location through maps and ground coordinates. If you cannot land because you are waiting in line when you return to the airport, you can go to other alternate airports."

Squadron Captain Raul once again repeated the mission and combat rules. These were summarized in previous exercises, such as bombers roaming together to help improve survival rates. Experienced pilots guided the bombing first to increase hit rate and other things. Some have been tested on the battlefield, while others are waiting for inspection...

Just when the bomber troops were busy, the two fighter squadrons next door were ready to take off. This time, considering that they would have to fight for a long time, all the Sparrow Eagle fighters had a secondary fuel tank, an email address that could accommodate 8okg fuel. You read that right, just 8okg! This weight made the Sparrow Eagle a little overwhelmed!

When the sun jumped out of the horizon, countless black spots appeared in the sight of the French. A large-scale air battle of more than 1,000 aircraft in World War I finally started! The 7oo bombers participating in the first round of bombing selected the various artillery positions behind the positions of the Allied Regiment. All kinds of railway guns and long-range artillery with different lengths and calibers, but with surprisingly far range, will be the targets of the wheel being removed!

The bomber loads in this era are generally not large, and the family bases of Britain and France are solid. Therefore, even if the air force is much larger than the Eastern Front this time, its impact on the war situation is not as good as that of the Eastern Front. A large number of frontier positions and artillery positions are not included in the strike sequence at all. It is not that they are not important, but because of their limited output, they cannot rank! However, even so, after this round of strikes, the Allied long-range artillery still suffered great losses!

"Brothers, we are ready to go to work today!" Captain Harris called his men to start construction. He and his artillery company were responsible for operating a 12-inch l4o train cannon called Cape of Good Hope. This cannon is said to have been removed from a front dreadnought. This cannon has fired multiple shells in the previous battle. If nothing unexpected happens, it is time to replace the barrel. The new barrel has been transported. Today, their task is to change the barrel.

Various lifting machinery has been in place, and the scaffolding has also been erected. When the high muzzles of the past were flattened, the first round of German air strikes also came!

"I saw it, wow, this guy is so big!" Keitel, the leader, looked at the huge train cannon that caught his eye and exclaimed from the bottom of his heart. Although it was a hostile relationship, it had to admit that the highest product of this human technology was still surprising.

A huge train cannon is in the middle of the ring rail. The cannon is carried by two 7-axis trailers. In addition to the cannon itself, there are large lifting equipment and small rails for transporting shells behind. A 386kg shell is neatly placed on the small car and is lined up in a row on the sides of the cannon. However, today, these powerful shells are probably not able to be fired.

From the air, a group of people were operating the huge crane like busy workers and ants to replace the front half of the cannon. The old gun barrel that was several meters long had been removed. Just as the new gun barrel was about to be hoisted, the first round of bombs had been thrown over the other party's head.

The three bombers went for the cover bombing, flying from a low altitude in a tight formation as close as possible, and then the six bombs fell down like an inverted triangle. When the plane began to leave the bombing route, a series of explosions came from behind. Two of the 25okg bombs successfully landed on the huge train cannon, and a high explosive bomb shattered the seven-axle trailer carried on the front of the cannon! The other bomb destroyed the huge crane. The tall crane crane crane boom swept across the entire working surface like a big stick, and dozens of people were beaten to pieces.

Then, the remaining three teams rushed to the ammunition depot, train and barracks. The bombs fell one after another blew the entire target area into a sea of ​​fire, and one of the incendiary bombs affected a bunch of spray packs. Then, the shock waves and flames generated by the explosion of a large number of ammunition not only swept across the entire artillery position, but also affected the forest area next to it. Rows of trees were pushed down like dominoes. Looking from the air, the entire position turned into a charred land, which could be seen clearly even if it was far apart. "Our mission seemed to be completed." said the head aircraft in charge.

The same attack was also born on other battlefields. In just one morning, the entire Allied State had more than 40 heavy artillery positions and stations and other transportation hubs. Looking from the German reconnaissance airship, smoke columns and fire scenes would rise from time to time on the extended front line. These were the targets of the first wave of attacks by German bombers. Perhaps it was absolutely not very harmful, but it had a profound impact on future battles.

These attacked artillery may not count in terms of number, but you should know that those who are attacked are train guns, heavy howitzers or long-range cannon positions. These artillery is not the same as the 75-fire cannons on the street. The ratio is as high as ten to one. It can be said that these artillery supports the pillar of long-range suppression of firepower in the Allies.

However, just one morning, this pillar was weakened or suppressed. Maybe they were not destroyed, or Xiu Yixiu could make do with it, but unfortunately, they obviously could not use it to resist the first wave of attacks that the German 6th Army was about to move.
Chapter completed!
