Chapter 536 Chapter 536 The light that splits the night
On the ground, a huge searchlight with a diameter of more than one meter was suddenly charged, and its radiance pierced the entire sky in an instant.

It is like a holy sword, cutting through the darkness at once, and then gradually tilting, as if to split the night.

On the Qi State airship, the airship commander from Cyric was taken aback by the light in front of him. He didn't expect that the other party would install such a bright light bulb in such a place where birds don't shit.

"Keep the course! They shouldn't have many shots..." Cyric's captain hadn't even finished speaking when he saw the beam of light in front of him begin to tilt until it pressed against the airship he was in.

The light shone on the huge emblem of the Qi State on the side of the Qi State airship, and with the night as the background, it seemed that the mark was so clear and shining.

What he wanted to say was that it was impossible for Tang Guo to deploy so many anti-aircraft guns in such a place with no defensive value.

But before he could finish his words, the anti-aircraft guns deployed on the ground of Tang State rang out, and a row of tracer bombs rushed into the sky, like a rising golden spot.

Before realizing what happened, the airship commander from Cyric felt a slight vibration in the airship cabin under his feet.

Something pierced the thin hull of the airship's cockpit, pierced the floor beneath their feet, and impaled everything it encountered.

The commander turned his head and saw a subordinate operating the airship behind him being smashed to pieces by the shells coming from below.

It was real fragments, the shell sent flying one of his thighs, and then tore open the man's shoulder, leaving the unlucky guy bloody and bloody in an instant.

"It's...it's okay...they can't..." The captain of the airship wanted to comfort the men around him. He wanted to tell everyone that it was impossible for anti-aircraft guns to hit his airship continuously without stopping.

It's a pity that before he could even finish his sentence, the shells coming from below pierced through the cab of the airship again, and with a series of tinkling sounds, it seemed to fly to a higher place.

The pale-faced captain of the airship raised his head and saw the flames starting to bloom above his head.In order to simplify production, the airship produced by Cyric uses hydrogen, not the inert gas helium that Tang Mo insists on using.

Hit by a special tracer bomb, the hydrogen gas filled in the airbag of the hard-shell airship became unstable, and some of the gas was ignited, which began to torture the internal brackets of the airship.

Because the burning temperature was too high, these brackets began to melt and deform. During the collapse and destruction process, more air poured into the airbag, and then more hydrogen gas was ignited.

It's a vicious circle, and everything happens in about five seconds.By the time Cyric's airship commander raised his head and looked at the top of his head, it had already turned into a burning hell.

Then the air wave engulfed the entire cockpit of the airship, and the Cyric commander even had time to let out a hysterical scream before being completely engulfed by the flames.

On the ground, the anti-aircraft gun team, which was pouring its own tracer bombs on the airship just now, had already seen the burning airship.

They saw that the targets they attacked were all ignited, and they could even clearly see the frame structure of the airship supporting the airbags in the firelight.

Even at a distance of more than a kilometer, they could clearly see that the frames supporting the airship burned, fractured and melted amidst the raging fire.

Everyone on the ground could also see the cockpit, which was engulfed in flames, deformed and disintegrated, and then fell from the sky to the ground.

The flames in the sky illuminated everything around them, and then attracted more and denser artillery fire—in the sky illuminated by this burning airship, the outlines of seven or eight airships became extremely clear.

It took almost a moment for the anti-aircraft guns on the ground to aim at the target, and they started to attack again, one by one shells flew into the sky, and then lit up new airships one after another.

Not far away, the second airship of the Qi State immediately followed suit, and in an instant it turned into a wild ball of fire, struggling and bursting in the sky.

Seeing that the third airship was also hit, even before the searchlight had time to shine on the body of this airship, it began to burn itself to illuminate others.

The 4 anti-aircraft guns of an anti-aircraft gun company, together with a searchlight, shot down all the airships of Qi State closest to the anti-aircraft gun defensive positions in just a few minutes.

When the fourth Qi State airship exploded and broke, burning and crashing in the sky.The first airship of Qi State that was shot down hit the ground, and then there was a more tragic explosion.

It was the result of the explosion of the aerial bomb carried by the airship. The tragic explosion made the ground tremble slightly.

The airship full of bombs was like a small ammunition depot. The huge flames from the explosion of the weapons shocked the surrounding Tang soldiers.

The night in front of them was not destined to be a peaceful night. At this time, the airship troops of the State of Qi finally realized that they seemed to be unable to cross the border and go to their chosen target of attacking Amp.

Ever since, without knowing who gave the order to retreat, these airships began to turn slowly in the illuminated night sky.

In the face of Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns designed entirely for interceptor aircraft, such maneuvers are like old ladies dodging bullets.

The officer standing next to the ground anti-aircraft gun lowered his arm again, the gunner stepped on the firing pedal, and the Bofors anti-aircraft gun once again spewed out flames, shooting out all the shells in the magazine.

A series of tracer bullets flew towards the target again. Using the tracer bullets can not only improve one's hit rate in the dark night, but also have the effect of igniting the target.

At this time, the airship of the Qi army, which had just started to turn around slightly, was already on fire again.The Qi army airship commander in the cockpit could only close his eyes in despair.

He couldn't stop the enemy's attack on the ground, and he couldn't stop the explosion and burning of hydrogen above his head, so he could only wait for death, and waited for his own end tragically.

Compared with the infantry on the ground, he didn't even have the option of surrendering—what's more, he ordered people to hang up the white flag now, who could see clearly?

Besides, with their appearance, almost streaking and no armor, their defense power is about zero, and their skin is thin and stuffed with eighteen folds, how many chances do they have to hang the white flag?
Just when he was thinking wildly, the airship he was in exploded, and he was also engulfed in flames, and he was completely reduced to ashes without even feeling the pain.

In just 10 minutes, 7 Qi airships burned and crashed like this, becoming a burning fire on the ground, and another 5 airships were exploding in the sky, and they were about to land.

The remaining Qi Guo airship turned around desperately, and finally got out of the attack range of the anti-aircraft gun company.

These airship commanders from Cyric, as well as some Qi flight commanders who came to make up the number, have been frightened by the ferocious ground firepower of the Tang army at this moment.

They didn't even bother to look back at their companions, so they fled back to the Qi State-controlled area in a panic.

A more tragic thing happened after all. In the chaotic escape process, two airships of Qi State collided in the air.

The huge collision destroyed the hard shell of the airship, directly causing the crash of both airships.The moment the aerial bomb landed, it exploded, completely blowing up the Qi army's positions on the ground.

The flames from the tragic explosion were even seen by His Royal Highness who stayed at the position headquarters. For a while, the morale of the entire Qi army was shaken, and all soldiers were very depressed.

The battle ended in a way that made people laugh and cry. The anti-aircraft artillery companies deployed by the Tang army in other places did not even see the shadow of the Qi State airship overnight.

All the victories belonged to the only anti-aircraft battery that participated in the battle-their skills were nothing to boast about, and their luck was envied.

Maybe the luck of everyone in the airship unit of the Qi State Air Force was taken away by this anti-aircraft gun. Most of the airships of the Qi State that night were not even able to cross the border defense line, so they were forced to turn around and return.

Cyric did not expect that Tang Jun's anti-aircraft firepower was so fierce that they didn't even have a chance.

During the return flight, Qi's air force began to shirk responsibility from each other: this pot is too big, and none of them can afford it!

The 14 airships carry more than 300 valuable aviation talents, and the price of these 14 airships is also shockingly expensive.

As a result, in less than 20 minutes of fighting, so many expensive weapons and equipment were lost, but there was no sign of the target to be attacked—who can accept such a loss?
An enraged Qi Air Force commander even sent a telegram on the way back, scolding Cyric's advisers for sending them to death with a ulterior motive.

The Tang Army was also very upset, because they deployed 10 anti-aircraft artillery companies that night, which is not counted as a field air defense force that is in full swing.

You must know that these troops are going to the defensive position and are on standby, but it will take a lot of fuel!Therefore, the senior commanders of the Tang army were also very upset that night.

Especially when Tiger and Redman heard that the airship of the Qi army was dispatched at night to try to attack the Tang army, they euphemistically expressed their dissatisfaction to the air force.

Brahim was so ashamed and indignant that he made up his mind to dispatch fighter jets at dawn the next day, ready to avenge his shame.

In order to express their anger, the Tang army's artillery unit fired and shelled the Qi army's position in the middle of the night that night, and the Qi army's artillery had to fire back. The two sides continued to quarrel like this for a whole night.

But everything came to an abrupt end with the sunrise of the next day-at dawn, Tang Jun's technical and equipment advantages once again appeared, and they returned to their home court again!
