Conquer Europe from the West

Chapter 13 Audacious Plan

Brinkman looked at Ryan with his eyes wide open, as if he had seen a ghost.

She grabbed Ryan's shoulders and said, "Are you crazy?"

"That's an airship!! It's not some infantry that can be taken out with just a gun!"

"So?" Ryan asked, "He can always be shot down, right?"

As a half-baked military fan, Ryan really likes the damn Battlefield 1 released by EA.

Although he was very unhappy about accidentally entering this damn different world, it didn't mean that he didn't understand Yizhan.

As the first vehicle in human history that can float forever in the sky, the airship has been one of the brightest pearls in the history of human technology since its birth.

Compared with airplanes that will only be developed in the future, airships have dominated the skies for decades with their excellent hovering performance and low-cost, long-duration flight capabilities.

It can be said that in this era when the maximum speed of aircraft has not exceeded 300 kilometers and the normal combat altitude is only a few hundred meters, he is the most powerful enemy that mankind can encounter on the battlefield.

but!
These are just appearances.

Airships are powerful, but they are not invincible.

Early airships used hydrogen as a source of lift, and all it took was a fire to turn them into a giant, moving fireball.

Of course, if they have been at an altitude of several thousand meters or even tens of thousands of meters, it would be really difficult to deal with.

After all, no rifle or machine gun has such excellent anti-aircraft capabilities.

But that's something they need to consider at this level.

"?"

Brinkman heard the confidence in Ryan's words.

This made her wonder what on earth made Ryan say that he wanted to shoot down the airship.

You know, there is no one in this world who can destroy an airship single-handedly.

Even if there is, it must be someone in the airship.

and many more?

Brinkman, feeling as if he understood something, immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"You don't want to die with them, do you?" she asked hurriedly.

"Do I look like that kind of person?"

Ryan was almost choked to death by the girl's words.

Are you kidding? I haven’t lived enough!
He immediately slapped away the two hands that were pinching his shoulders and confirmed the map in the system again.

The time required to reunite with friendly forces was reduced by more than ten minutes.

It seems that they are still very fast.

Although he still couldn't zoom in, Ryan could see that they were divided into several small blue groups, which must have been riding in a vehicle - probably a truck.

This shows that the headquarters must have invested a lot of money, as trucks are very expensive these days.

Especially in this situation where the front line has completely collapsed and we have no idea where the enemy is.

No one would give away such a valuable thing, because any officer should understand the importance of motor vehicles in a state of war.

I thought there might be someone I knew in the headquarters, maybe someone who knew this noble lady, or maybe someone who knew me.

Shaking his head, Ryan threw away all the unimportant things.

Brinkman was obviously still upset about what Ryan had said before, and he continued to hold on to him even after Ryan slapped his hand away.

Ryan was getting a little impatient with her grabbing him, so he grabbed her hand in return and tried to explain: "I said I wanted to take down the airship, but I didn't say I wanted to shoot them down!"

But the girl had obviously never encountered such a situation before. She kept trying to shake off Ryan's hand, not to mention listening to Ryan's explanation.

But her strength was no match for Ryan's, so she was so angry that her face turned red before she even tried twice: "Let go first! Then we can talk!"

Ryan immediately let go and said, "Okay, okay, but don't hold me anymore."

The girl didn't answer him, but her hand was no longer holding Ryan.

Ryan quickly sat down, thinking that this way he wouldn't be caught. He pulled out a dagger and drew several circles in the mud. "You think these Farlanes are targeting us, right?"

"Hmm?" Brinkman nodded.

"If they want to catch us, they'll have to lower their altitude and track us from a height where they can visually identify ground units. Is that okay?" "Indeed."

nod.

Ryan: "What will they do if they find us?"

Brinkman thought for a moment before saying, "Open fire first to deter us, wait for us to surrender, and then lower our altitude to capture us?"

"That's right!"

Ryan slapped her hard on the back. "If we can trick them into giving up our altitude and send people down to the ground to capture us, then they'll have lost all the advantages of the airship!"

"Then we will shoot from other places and try to catch him..." Wolfe suddenly said, but before he could finish, McIver covered his mouth.

But Ryan stopped McIver immediately, and then he slapped Wolfe on the back of the head: "Are you fucking crazy?"

"With just these few guns, we can't do anything!"

"We're going to take their people as prisoners!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room gasped.

No, being chased by an airship is already deadly enough, and now you say you want to capture the people on the other side as prisoners?

But fortunately, they were not fools and reacted immediately.

Since the enemy has already sent airships to capture him, the headquarters should not be unaware of the news that they have escaped from the front line.

In this way, as long as they can seize the opportunity, Ryan's plan will not be impossible.

Lieutenant Brinkman lowered his head, lost in thought.

She was thinking about the feasibility of this plan.

The others were similar, only Ryan was still looking at the four gray dots flying towards the north in the distant sky.

To be honest, he hasn't been able to fully integrate into this environment yet.

As a time traveler, he actually didn't care about the lives of the people around him or the uniform he was wearing.

At least that was the case before.

But since escaping from the 502nd Battalion camp, Ryan's thoughts have changed.

Although he still didn't like the uniform he was wearing, the nine people around him were different.

These soldiers he met for the first time were the ones who saved his life.

They helped him, a rookie who had never fought in a battle, to successfully escape from the encirclement of a force of nearly a hundred people.

To put it bluntly, it's like playing a game in a random queue and meeting a teammate who is determined to die with you.

The only difference is that if you die in the game, Ryan can still add them as friends and start the next game, but if you die here, you are really dead.

But these soldiers are still following his orders.

We have to get them out of this damn place alive.

he thought.

So Ryan came up with this tactic of luring the enemy into action.

but.

Capturing enemy soldiers was not Ryan's real purpose.

His real purpose was to shoot down those airships.

Of course, not by his hands.

Turning his gaze, a huge map appeared in front of Ryan.

Six small blue dots were forming a line, moving along the road towards the 502nd Battalion camp.

And in front of them, there was a faster blue dot, suspected to be a reconnaissance plane.

This is the rescue force from the rear headquarters.
