The latest website: www. In the war, the party of victory is always the place with the least mistakes, and in order to win the victory of the war, it will often take the initiative to send out bait.
On the Marne River in another world, the German army deliberately exposed a weak flank, lured the French army to attack, and then surrounded and annihilated the French army with a strong other flank.
The same is true in this world. When the German army used Pabie's Fifth Army as a bait to lure the Ming and French coalition forces into taking the bait, the Ming army directly bit the bait. However, the Roman Emperor Alexander III in this world could not
Like his son Nicholas II, he rashly launched an attack at the request of Britain and France, despite the fact that the Russian army was not prepared for offensive operations and the troops were far from being in place and equipped with weapons and equipment, forcing the German army to transfer the other wing of the army to the Eastern Front.
When the Ming army took this bait, Alexander III was transferring his troops to Persia. Compared to Germany... he was more willing to occupy prosperous India.
In other words...the German army had sufficient strength to include the flanks of the Ming army. Even at the same time, the main force of the British Expeditionary Force arrived in the theater. For a time, the balance of the battlefield seemed to be tilted in the direction of the British-German coalition.
After learning that the Ming army had bitten the bait, the German chief of staff, Count Schlieffen, shouted excitedly.
"God willing, we won this war!"
It is not only the Ming army that bites the bait, but also the French army. They will also enter the battlefield. After this army is eliminated, Paris will open its door like Germany!
So Count Schlieffen immediately ordered the troops to march quickly as planned, attack the flanks of the Ming and French coalition forces, and while relieving the Fifth Army, completely annihilate the Ming and French coalition forces.
God bless everything goes well!
Just when Count Schlieffen happily decided to win the war in one fell swoop, they did not notice that the battlefield had actually changed.
Perhaps on land, the Ming-French coalition forces were at a disadvantage in terms of strength and even faced the threat of being surrounded at any time. However, as another batch of aircraft arrived in France by air, even though there were only 38 aircraft, they were all
The only aircraft force in Europe, the arrival of these aircraft gave the coalition forces complete control of the air.
How important is air superiority?
No one knows.
However, after gaining control of the air, France's airship forces were given the opportunity to exert themselves. After all, France also has more than two hundred airships, the vast majority of which are bombing airships.
At the request of the expeditionary force, Emperor Napoleon V directly handed over the command of the airship force to the expeditionary force. This was not because they did not trust their own staff, but because they wanted to bypass the links to maximize the results.
On May 3, almost as the nearly 300,000 British-German allied forces began to maneuver from the left wing, according to the order of the expeditionary force headquarters, 213 airships took off from multiple airship fields in France.
The blue-gray columns on the French land were like an unstoppable wave, marching toward the southeast. At this time, although the German army seemed tired, everyone seemed very excited.
As long as we finish this battle, we will enter Paris!
As the commander of the Fourth Army, Luculus once again had the idea in his mind - to invade Paris!
God can testify that twenty-five years ago, they almost entered Paris!
Just a little bit different.
To this day, he still remembers the Ming Dynasty's new weapons that appeared on the battlefield that day - armored vehicles and airships.
That time, they missed victory, but this time... they will win.
Just when Luculu was thinking about victory, he didn't notice that hundreds of airships had already flown over in the sky.
No, it should have "floated" over.
This is the tactic used by the Ming Empire's aerial troops during the Battle of Brazil - silent engagement and silent bombing.
After turning off the engine, the airship floated over the enemy from an altitude of 5,000 meters under the influence of wind, and then carried out bombing by releasing hydrogen to lower the altitude. Because there was no roar of the engine and the flying altitude was too high, the enemy even
There is no air defense warning time.
After the high-altitude airship discovered this German force, it immediately assembled as planned, then shut down its engine, and slowly floated towards them under the influence of the wind.
Floating like this, there is no sound. All airships are like sailboats sailing with the wind on the sea, quietly sailing towards the target.
In the air, everything was quiet and only the sound of the wind could be heard.
But on the ground, there was a lot of noise. The Germans who were marching seemed very excited. As they marched, they talked about Paris and wine. Of course, they also talked about the fashionable girls in Paris.
Just as they were discussing those women, someone suddenly raised his head in surprise, looked at the sky and said doubtfully.
"what is that?"
"airship!"
Suddenly, someone shouted in fear. After these airships painted with sky camouflage released a large amount of hydrogen, their altitude dropped rapidly. To people on the ground, it looked like the sky had collapsed.
Hundreds of airships descended on the Fourth Army silently, and the marching column of tens of thousands of people screamed in terror and fell into chaos.
People looked towards the sky and saw that a large group of airships as big as clouds appeared in the blue sky at some point.
It's the French air fleet!
Luculu also looked at this huge air fleet in astonishment. At this moment, only one thought flashed in his mind - it's over!
As if to confirm his prediction, a string of bombs fell from the sky. When the bombs fell from the sky, there was a sharp whistling sound everywhere in the air.
Amidst the friction between the bomb's tail and the air, the marching column of the Fourth Army began to walk towards death. This was the first saturated carpet bombing in human history, although the Imperial Aerial Forces had proposed it as early as twenty years ago.
"Saturation bombing", and during the Battle of Brazil, dozens of airships were used to use cluster bombs to severely damage Prince Gaston's army. However, the Imperial Air Force has never mobilized more than 100 airships to attack a certain unit.
"Saturation bombing".
This...is the first time!
The first saturation carpet bombing in human history!
One hundred airships carried more than 200 tons of bombs. These bombs did not seem to be much, although the French did not have the empire's unique cluster bombs.
But when hundreds of thousands of small aerial bombs weighing one kilogram fell like raindrops, it was like a downpour, completely covering the Fourth Army. The smoke from the explosion of the small bombs immediately set off a wave of death on the earth.
The marching Germans did not have the time to run away when the bombs fell, and even fell down. They stood there like tree stumps, letting the bombs fall on them and explode around them.
.
Not an explosion, but a wave!
In just the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of bombs completely enveloped the Fourth Army. The violent explosions and smoke were like a stormy sea, turning the entire Fourth Army upside down. Countless people were bombed like dolls.
When they flew into the sky and were torn apart, the flying fragments roared and swept everything around them like the scythe of death. Groups of German soldiers were knocked to the ground in pieces like weeds...
