Chapter 270 He came, he was gone
The soldiers on the dwarf airship saw the Königsberg cruiser leaving the fleet at full speed.
I don't know what to say anymore.
Because they found that the dwarf airship could not catch up with the Königsberg cruiser at all.
The cruiser Königsberg reached an astonishing speed of 45 knots.
This is equivalent to a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
The maximum speed of the dwarf airship is only 60 kilometers per hour.
How is it possible to catch up?
After discovering that they could not catch up with the Königsberg cruiser, the dwarf airship formation immediately adjusted its attack target.
The target of attack is the dreadnought diagonally below.
The naval soldiers saw a large number of airships heading towards the fleet.
Sound the battle alert immediately.
A large number of anti-aircraft guns switched from attacking the Western Elf aircraft to attacking these airships.
But the power of the 37mm anti-aircraft gun was not enough to threaten these airships.
But the battleship's main guns can also be used against the air...
The dreadnought's main gun has a limited elevation angle of only about 15 degrees.
There is no air defense at all.
But the secondary guns are different. The maximum elevation angle of the 152mm naval gun reaches an astonishing 80 degrees.
It is most suitable for attacking airships in the sky.
In addition, the 155mm naval guns of the Königsberg cruiser can also be used for air defense.
These newly appeared airships have not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
An airship commander is using a telescope to observe the movements of the fleet below.
Watching a large number of warships raise their gun muzzles.
The commander suddenly felt uneasy.
what's the situation?
The next second, hundreds of warships launched a salvo.
Dense artillery shells flew towards the airship in the sky.
However, due to the limited power of the 152 and 155 naval guns, they were unable to penetrate the airship's magical defenses.
However, the dense artillery fire caused the airship to drift sideways.
Ten airships were directly fired upon by hundreds of warships.
And the dreadnought's main guns were still firing at the city of Sucruz.
Seeing this scene, the airship commander was overwhelmed.
The dwarf soldier in charge of operating the artillery on the airship did not hesitate at all and immediately opened fire back.
However, the airship being destroyed by artillery fire could not provide a stable environment for the gunner to aim.
This resulted in a large portion of the dwarven return fire missing its intended target.
Countless shells fell into the sea, creating waves.
A large amount of sea water was lifted into the sky and then fell heavily down.
Many soldiers who were operating the naval guns were drenched by the sea water.
The soldiers became even more angry. How could they endure such suffering while fighting a war?
Can't afford to play? If you can't hit, don't hit!
The furious navy soldiers fired back at the dwarves.
Dwarf: That's very polite...
Although the naval guns could not shoot down these dwarf airships which were as small as turtle shells.
However, these airships were unable to carry out accurate strikes due to the influence of naval guns.
You can't do anything to me, and I can't do anything to you.
But the V2 rocket came...
Four more V2 rockets flew over.
At this moment, the commander of the dwarf airship formation has ordered a retreat.
Because if the fighting continues, there will be only one outcome for the dwarf airship formation, and that is a complete crash.
This was supposed to be the airship formation's first show, but it ended so sloppily.
It’s not that these airships are not excellent. To be precise, these airships are comparable to air fortresses.
But they faced the more powerful Da Yan.
The intensive attacks made it impossible for these airships to hover.
This made it impossible for dozens of artillery pieces with a range of more than 100 mm to fire.
Otherwise, if these airships were allowed to hover, they would cause devastating damage to the ground.
You can imagine that there are more than 100 artillery pieces with a gun diameter of mm or more firing at you above your head.
Just based on this firepower, the Dwarf Empire has already maximized the firepower of the airship.
But they forgot the most fundamental problem, which is the stability of the airship.
There were no planes to escort the airship formation, and even the air supremacy was not in the hands of the dwarves.
Even though the dwarf airship was very powerful, it still ended in a hasty defeat.
After two more airships were shot down, the dwarf airship formation was speeding up its escape.
But the ultimate outcome of these flights was only one: they were all shot down by V2 rockets.
The elves below were stunned.
These dwarves came, but they disappeared again...
So what is the meaning of their coming?
There is no point in them coming here...
I got beaten for nothing and gained nothing...
And at this moment, a reinforced infantry brigade of Dayan has begun boarding the ship.
Prepare to launch a military operation against the city of Sucruz from the sea.
Sucruz City is determined to win.
Especially after learning that the dwarves have developed this magic airship.
This further strengthened Lyon's idea of deploying troops in the city of Sucruz.
If no way is found to curb the ambitions of the Dwarf Empire, then Da Yan will eventually be harmed by the Dwarf Empire.
Therefore, the best way to deal with any danger is to nip it in the bud.
Hundreds of landing craft and a large number of landing ships loaded a total of 20,000 people onto the ships.
These landing craft and landing ships were originally used for expeditions to the Western French Empire.
But let's use it for now, take over Sukrus City first, and then think about other things...
At this moment, the city of Sucruz is already in ruins.
Except for residential areas and some important non-military buildings, everything else had basically been destroyed by naval guns.
The air battle between the Western Elf Air Force and the Great Yan Air Force also ended in victory.
Dayan lost 26 carrier-based aircraft, including seven pilots who died.
More than 200 aircraft of the Western Elves have been destroyed.
The casualty ratio was almost one to ten.
The reason why such fruitful results were achieved was that there was a huge difference in the driving skills of the pilots on both sides, and Dayan also had a large amount of anti-aircraft firepower to provide cover for the Dayan Air Force.
Therefore, it was not unfair for the Western Elf Air Force to lose, and these Western Elf Air Force won the respect of the Dayan Air Force.
Because many Western elf pilots directly flew their planes to attack the Dayan Air Force.
With just this fearless spirit, these young pilots of the Western Elves proved that they were qualified.
The victory in the air battle completely announced that the city of Sukrus had completely fallen into the hands of Dayan.
However, the fleet was not in a hurry to land. They were waiting for the arrival of follow-up troops.
Because there are no more than 500 soldiers in the current Dayan Navy fleet who can carry out landing operations.
Most naval soldiers are simply unable to form effective combat capabilities on the ground.
But plans can't keep up with changes...
Just as the Great Yan Fleet was waiting for follow-up reinforcements, a sudden change forced Chester to cram in only 500 marines...

By the way, a reader said that he wanted the protagonist to enact a law to change these Western surnames to Chinese surnames. What do you think?)
