Accompanied by the clear buzz of the diesel engine, twelve giant airboats that looked like castles in the air twisted their huge bodies and slowly floated over the fortress groups around Liege fortresses such as "Fryon".

On a airship sprayed by a giant shark, Lieutenant Berg Watdog of the Young Aviation Army was holding a telescope and staring down at the earth beneath him. The winding and wide river Maas was like a jade belt, and next to it was the majestic and steep fortress of the main city of Liège. The gorgeous scene of green brocade and flowers draped abruptly in the battlefield beneath him, replaced by endless smoke, fire and sunken craters; the gray wave of attack was blocked by the fortress on the east bank of the Maas River, and the position was still firmly under the control of the Belgians.

The cabin door of the airship cab was pushed open, and an adjutant walked in. He saluted Waltdog and said, "Captain, General Emmessi, commander of the Maas River Force, just sent a signal to us to bomb the Belgian fortress below immediately." The adjutant said slowly, as if all this was right. Although with the continuous expansion of the German air force, the General Staff had established a new rank of aviation to distinguish it; but like the cavalry and artillery, the new branch of aviation, was still assigned to the traditional army or navy.

"Reply to General Emmesy, we will start operations immediately." Looking at the German assault troops under him, Watdog's impulse to slap these fortresses became stronger than when he set out. He paused, and then said to the adjutant: "Immediately calculate the wind speed, wind direction and height from the ground, and adjust the position of the airship. First use a 50kg bomb to find the bombing accurate head!"

A few minutes later, the huge airship began to move slowly in the air, so that the free-fall bombs could still accurately hit the target after a long period of fall. Until this time, the Belgian army on the ground finally came to their senses. Although the Belgians did not know what these terrifying giant cigars were for, the iron cross logos on their spray clearly showed that they belonged to the German camp; then since they were the enemy's equipment, it would be impossible to shoot at them! For a moment, the officers and soldiers of the Belgian field troops raised their rifles in their hands to shoot, and the crisp sound of gunfire spread throughout the world.

Seeing this scene, Watdog couldn't help but smile contemptuously. In order to prevent direct fire from the ground, the normal cruise height of the improved "Kirov" bombing airship reached 1,200 meters; not to mention ordinary rifle firepower, even if the Maxim heavy machine gun is modified for high-fire, it cannot reach this height area! After the airship was suspended and steady, he immediately issued a bombing order. A black cylinder with a sharp head and a round tail and a steady wing suddenly fell from the abdomen of the airship. In less than 20 seconds, it collided with the ground with a meteorite roar.

"Boom!" A roar suddenly burst out from the Bijun position, and the dazzling red purple and golden light burst into the sky and burst into hundreds of meters high, just like the sky fire rushing, the volcanoes gushing, the strong wind gushing, and the air waves rushing. After everything calmed down, people discovered that a deep pit of more than ten meters in radius appeared in front of the Bijun Fleyron Fortress!

Behind the German position, Emmissi looked at the huge crater far above the previous shelling, and the shock in his heart was hard to describe; the magnificent power of the thunder strike just now was even better than that of the 283mm heavy train cannon! More importantly, these bombs fell almost at a vertical angle, which means that they could completely avoid the solid vertical protection of the Belgian fortress and directly poured into the top of the fortress with relatively weak defense. If the load capacity of these large airships is sufficient, they would really be able to break through these nails tonight and lead their troops to the city of Liege!

"Boom!" Another thrilling red light suddenly exploded. The air waves rolled wildly and the fire was dazzling. After the correction just now, an aviation bomb with a loading coefficient of more than 40% suddenly landed on the dome of the Fryron Fortress, and the violent explosion completely shook the entire fortress. A guard turret was thrown into the sky dozens of meters high in an instant, and thick black smoke rolled out from the huge hole in the dome; high-temperature flames and toxic gases raged freely inside the fortress, and they didn't know how many lives of the defenders who had no time to escape were swallowed up.

Thunder sounded, purple waves rolled up, and at the same time, other airships also began to bombard the remaining fortresses in Belgium. Even the smallest 50kg bomb was unbearable for the Belgian defenders. Due to its super high loading coefficient, the power of these small bombs was as powerful as the direct bombardment of battleship-level artillery shells! When the airship occasionally dropped a 250kg bomb, its momentum was like a tsunami storm and mountains collapsed; the red-colored firelight rose to a mile high with dust debris, and the German officers and soldiers could still feel the strong shock waves rushing forward several miles away.

In this divine punishment like a thunderous thunder, the Belgian fortress, which was still standing in the fierce attack of the German army, was already trembling under the bomb thunder that fell from the sky. The turrets burst, the steel bars were broken, and the thick and solid cast steel armor was like mud and paper, accompanied by huge explosions and violent shock waves. At this moment, the Belgian fortress has become a hell on earth: earth and rocks collapse, flames rush, and the suffocating high-temperature smoke enters the holes, suffocating all the Belgian fortress troops stationed therein. The confidence accumulated by the German attack just repelled the German attack instantly disappeared in this natural disaster-like blow; they flew out of the exit in panic, and from time to time someone was pierced by the raided fragments, and fell to the ground with a bang, and then they no longer breathed.

An hour later, the dense and violent sounds on the battlefield, like the sea god's sky drum, gradually returned to calm. The smoke of gunpowder rolled and dust filled, and no normal road was found in the battlefield. Emmissie shook her head, which was still buzzing, raised her telescope and looked at it intently. The originally majestic Belgian fortress had now completely turned into ruins with thick smoke and fire; the curved cannons and melted steel intertwined, and the charred and broken corpses lay everywhere. From time to time, the dazzling glare of ammunition explosion in the fortress was shining, completely destroying and exploding some crumbling fortifications. In the sky, the giant airships that had been raging for a long time seemed to refuse to leave; they slowly patrolled the battlefield for a while, and then quickly flew towards the direction where the main city of Liege was.

"Send the order to gather troops and be on standby; an hour later, the entire army will immediately attack Liège!" Emmissi put down the lens barrel in his hand and shouted to an adjutant next to him.

——————————————

In the city of Liege, the commander of the Third Division, Le Mans, was walking back and forth in the command post like an ant on a hot pan. The huge sound of explosions in the distance swept across the sky like a tsunami, rushing into the city 5 miles away. Thunder shook and the sea of ​​fire rushed; from a distance, it looked like a raging volcano roaring and whirling on the east bank of the Maas River.

Two hours ago, the fortress group in the east of Liege had just repelled a fierce attack from the German army with all his might. According to the report sent back to Le Mans by the field troops in the gap area of ​​the fortress, the German army suffered more than 2,000 casualties, while the losses of its own were only 300. Except for the loss of several insignificant positions, the core areas were all as solid as the core. At that time, Le Mans was so confident that it seemed that Belgium had 40 divisions and the German army had only 6 divisions instead of the opposite. Just as he was confident and preparing to turn Liege into a castle hanging gate that would always lie across the German attack road, this continuous terrifying explosion suddenly came from the front position!

It is obvious that this kind of movement cannot be made by one's own troops; it is only 8 inches higher than the largest caliber artillery in the military fortress, and its power is at least 11-inch (280 mm) high-explosive bombs of large charges. What makes Le Mans even more frightened is that its explosion frequency is like a majestic war drum, rumbles endlessly; roughly estimated, at least fifty super siege cannons with 11-inch or even 16-inch participation in this thunder ensemble!

As soon as he thought of this, Le Mans felt an unreal feeling like he was in a nightmare. If the Germans could assemble so many super cannons in just a few days and could quickly reach the front line with the assault troops, Le Mans, who had been dealing with the army for most of his life, would definitely be a hundred people who did not believe it: Not to mention fifty, even if the Germans could drag 5 such heavy cannons to reach the front line, it would be extremely difficult! However, the surging terrifying explosions in the east were so real and clear, and the rising sky fire clouds could be seen vividly and clearly even in the city of Liege!

Gradually, the loud roar like the cracking sound of the east bank of the Mas River finally stopped. The last wave of fire dissipated in the air, and the orange smoke was blown away by the wind. After a while, Le Mans finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he felt a sense of exhaustion in his heart that he was suddenly relieved under heavy pressure. His lips were twitching, and just about to issue some military orders, an adjutant suddenly walked in in panic and said to Le Mans in an irresistible tone: "General, our fortress group on the east bank has been completely destroyed!"

Le Mans' pupils suddenly expanded, and his face was filled with shock and shock.
