    In the dawn of December 1916.  Xue Muhua fights in a Haidongqing shipped from China

    The reconnaissance plane took three wingmen of the same type across the Weir River at a low altitude of less than 100 meters.  The cold wind blew his hood and scarf, but the heat in his chest was rising because two small flags were painted on the head of his No. 01 War Eagle, which represented two successful kills.  Compared with their comrades on the ground, the aviation dispatch team participated in brutal aerial strangulation after arriving with the first batch of land forces. This record was already very good when the German army relied on the pre-war domestically exported Haidongqing to gain an absolute advantage.

    But his record in the formation was not first, but that of No. 03 Haidongqing, and the pilot wasZhu Binhou.

    He is a legendary figure, a Chinese student in France. In 1915, influenced by his dream of flying, he joined the French Foreign Legion to participate in the war. In a short period of time, he achieved two shootdowns despite the obvious gap between the planes, and also had a successful forced landing experience.  What's even more rare is that when he learned that the Chinese Expeditionary Force had arrived, he immediately reported that he had retired from the French army and joined the Chinese Expeditionary Force Air Force. After a month of adaptability training with new aircraft, he again shot down two aircraft, which was five aircraft away.  Ace standard is just one step away!

    Of course, if we count that Xue Muhua has been shot down more domestically than him, technically speaking, Dongqing is more experienced because he started flying to Haihai three years ago. The reason why his record is poor is because he has not accumulated enough time to participate in the war.  What's more, the Haidongqing sold to Germany is an old model with 180 horsepower and a Maxim mg8 water-cooled machine gun, while the one equipped by itself has been upgraded to 280 horsepower after two years!  Its maneuverability and hovering capabilities exceed those of its opponents, and it also uses the latest model of two 12.7mm fang machine guns as offensive weapons, so he believes that a real ace will soon appear in his team

    The figure of Reims City was quickly left behind. Under the fuselage, the infantry comrades were speeding across the pontoon bridge set up last night, and then they ran forward like thin lines in company units. The trucks and packhorses behind them slowly dragged the baggage.  back.

    Although Xue Muhua likes flying because it allows him to breathe freely, after arriving in France, he had to carry a gas mask just in case.  This time he was also vigilant and did not let the formation rush to high-altitude reconnaissance. Instead, he used the cover of the forest canyon to fly deeper. He could see many abandoned trenches and destroyed villages along the way.  The surface of the fierce battle is full of dense craters of different sizes!  It was so dense that almost every inch of land was covered several times, which made him feel worried for his infantry comrades.  When he first arrived, he flew into the air with French pilots to provide reconnaissance for the Battle of Verdun, so he knew very well how terrifying a big battle in which a million shells were fired in one day was!  This kind of war is simply not something China can afford at present. If the conditions of Britain and France were not too attractive, and if the logistics were not fully provided, he would not agree to participate in the war.

    But now that we are here, we must do our best!  So he waved to his companions and began to gradually raise the fuselage. As the war eagle rushed two thousand feet, his vision suddenly became clear. The first thing he saw from the cockpit was trenches. These trenches were combined to form a defensive depth.  There are many hidden artillery positions between the trenches, and heavy machine guns poke out from the trenches without cover.  But diametrically opposed to this kind of solemnity, the trenches in both Britain, France and Germany were all quiet, and could even be called quiet!  It can be seen that Germany should not be aware that a large pontoon bridge has appeared overnight several kilometers away.

    The formation continued to fly in depth, and there were occasional German troops pointing fingers on the ground, but they seemed to be accustomed to this kind of reconnaissance, so they did not shoot in the air.  Suddenly, a patch of dark green caught his attention, because a thick and long gun barrel could be seen clearly protruding from the dark green!  Zhenlei 14-year-old 150mm expedition cannon!  German codename k16!  Almost without thinking, Xue Muhua waved to his teammates and began to hover over the woods. After careful identification, he discovered eight heavy artillery pieces of the same type.

    This is extremely critical information. The National Defense Forces are very familiar with this kind of artillery. The range of 18 kilometers is enough to cover the entire area. This news must be brought back to remind you!  Thinking of this, he immediately pushed the operating lever, whizzing and thrusting diagonally towards the left side of Unit 4, and then used a pre-arranged gesture to remind his comrades to go back and report first.  Just as the No. 4 aircraft began to turn and prepare to go back, a series of bullets shot out from the German artillery position  Several anti-aircraft Maxim machine guns opened fire, but this height was too high for them, so No. 4 was out of danger with one pull up.

    When Unit 4 was the first to go back to report, Xue Muhua suddenly saw a dark shadow in the corner of his eye. He turned around to see that Zhu Binhou, who was driving Unit 03, had accelerated and roared towards a rising reconnaissance balloon behind the hillside in the distance.  There are many such reconnaissance balloons on the Western Front, especially such secondary defense positions, which are deployed in large numbers on both sides to monitor the enemy to avoid sudden attacks.

    The German reconnaissance balloon obviously did not expect an enemy plane to appear. The mg14 aviation machine gun carried in the gondola opened fire. This kind of machine gun that uses a magazine to feed ammunition is light in weight and quick to respond, but it is friendly andThe 12.7 Venom Fang aircraft machine gun installed in Dongqing was far inferior in range, so Zhu Binhou had already pulled the trigger before entering its range.  In just two bursts, the balloon began to fall. Just as he was passing by the balloon, four Fokker C-type fighter jets suddenly rushed out from behind the ridge.

    The Fokker C-type fighter is the export version of the German-made Haidongqing, manufactured by the Fokker factory. The letter c is to indicate that it comes from China.  Seeing that four Fokker Cs were about to surround Zhu Binhou, Xue Muhua and his No. 02 wingman quickly joined the battle circle. Almost as soon as they jumped in, a Fokker C bit Zhu Binhou's tail and pulled the trigger.

    The sight of two long ballistic flashpoints made even Xue Muhua tremble with fear, but at this critical moment, Hai Dongqing suddenly turned over to avoid the bullets and rushed toward the ground, trying to use speed to get rid of the entanglement.  But this German pilot was obviously an experienced pilot. When he saw Hai Dongqing, he realized that this was an air force from China, so he whizzed down the side of the fuselage and held on tightly.  Xue Muhua did not dare to wait. He made a gesture to the wingman to entangle him and then rushed down. However, one wingman could block three enemy planes, so two of the Fokker Cs chased Xue Muhua.  , the other one played a dogfighting game with No. 02 in a circle.

    The whistling and hissing sound behind him made Xue Muhua understand that someone was chasing him, but at the moment he couldn't care about himself at all, because he knew that if he couldn't support the bitten Zhu Binhou as soon as possible, he would definitely be in trouble, so he increased his power and chased away.  Zhu Binhou seemed to know that he was encountering an old bird. He turned around and saw Xue Muhua following behind him as a wingman. He simply turned the plane's nose and flew towards the valley on the left.

    Four similar-looking war eagles chased each other, and both Xue Muhua and the German pilots were pumping adrenaline to draw arcs in the air.  The German veteran who was chasing Zhu Binhou kept pulling the trigger, as if he wanted to use shooting to create tension and interfere with the opponent's operations, but this time he miscalculated!  Seeing a mountain peak appear in front of him, Zhu Binhou's Haidongqing suddenly jumped up and climbed up almost vertically. The movement was so big that the engine made a terrible roar to remind the war eagle that it had reached its limit!  Almost at the same time as Zhu Binhou climbed vertically, Xue Muhua also suddenly climbed upwards, and the two planes rushed up as if they had agreed!  This weird move made the two Fokker Cs chasing at the end a little confused. Although they also made moves, when the German veteran sandwiched in the middle also climbed, Xue Muhua's Haidongqing suddenly rolled while climbing and then headed towards  The left side flattens the fuselage in a weird rolling motion like a twisted twist.

    While the Fokker C was still astonished by this tactical move and Haidongqing's powerful turning ability, Xue Muhua, whose brain was congested and dizzy, had already aimed at the first Fokker C and pulled the trigger.  Two fierce orange-red flames burst out from the nose of the machine. Because of its heavy weight, the 12.7mm bullet still has a relatively accurate trajectory even in high-speed circling.  Although the German veteran tried hard to deflect the wings to avoid it, he was in the vertical climb and it was too late even if he could make Hai Dongqing's action.  When a string of bullets accurately passed through the tail beam, the wooden tail suddenly broke and the fuselage spiraled downwards.

    "Fuck you! It's my turn!" After an exquisite two-plane tactic and using a sideways S-shaped maneuver to counterattack, both Xue Muhua and Zhu Binhou felt the blood all over their bodies rushing into their foreheads, and they shouted and cursed at the pursuer just now.  His two Fokker Cs rushed towards him.

    The two Fokker Cs clearly felt threatened, so they immediately fled to the left and right, but how did they know that Haidongqing was equipped with an upgraded 280-horsepower engine, which was almost twice as powerful as them. The reason for entering the fight just now was entirely because  Continuous maneuvering and circling led to deceleration, and now they were almost on a straight course when facing the enemy. In addition, the two Fokker Cs needed to turn slower, so the two aircraft were hit by 12.7mm heavy bullets in a few minutes~~

    The first update~~sweep it down.

    When the two of them shook fists and greeted each other and rushed back to the airspace where they had just contacted the enemy, the remaining Fokker C had already retreated when the situation was bad.  However, Xue Muhua and the others did not dare to stay too long. The engine was powerful but also consumed a lot of fuel, so they circled for a while before flying back.  When War Eagle arrived at the pontoon area, he saw that the 706 Artillery Brigade deployed on the south bank of the Weir River had raised its barrels. Four 203mm heavy guns manufactured and provided by the British had quietly raised their barrels, as well as dozens of other artillery units.  French-made 155mm howitzer.

    Yan Youbin raised his head and glanced at Xue Muhua in the sky, then handed the coordinates returned by Unit 4 to the interpreter.  After the interpreter entered the aerial reconnaissance data and the data brought back by the scouts into a hand-operated ballistic mechanical computer according to the shooting table, a set of numbers soon appeared in front of everyone.  "Inform all battalions to prepare in 15 minutes! Attack as soon as the gunfire sounds, and all soldiers will follow the bullet drop point!" Xie Ruyi put down the phone call from Yan Youbin, took a look at the French liaison officer who smelled like a woman, and gave the order to attack.  .

    Next to him, the French liaison officer who had just been immersed in the big butts of the two French widows last night suddenly opened his mouth wide and his eyes bulged!

    Could it be that youHas your Chinese proficiency regressed?  Just rush forward like this?  Where are the artillery preparations?  Do they think the Germans were asleep and stupid enough to let the enemy charge!  God, don't these yellow-skinned lunatics know that Maxim can easily tear his body apart!  !
