The sudden bombardment shocked everyone. Both the enemy and ourselves on the battlefield were stunned at that moment, but just ten seconds later, there was chaos around the airship.
All the officers and soldiers of the Chinese clan exclaimed the name of the head of state and began to charge forward crazily. They launched an attack in the direction of the airship. They subconsciously wanted to protect the head of state, the god in their hearts!
The French Legion broke out into crazy shouts. They jumped up from behind the bunker in excitement, not caring that they would be shot by enemy bullets. They forgot about the danger and cheered loudly!
"Long live! Xiao Letian was blown up... The Chinese executioner was killed by us!"
"Damn Frenchmen...go to hell!" The angry Chinese officers and soldiers had a hail of bullets in their pockets, mowing down a large area of these cheering French troops.
At this moment, there was also joy in the central tower. Frossard had finally taken revenge. He had almost no results in this Franco-Prussian War. If he could kill Xiao Letian in the end, he would immediately become a national hero in France.
"Keep loading, fire...keep firing!" Frossard roared crazily, and his artillerymen nervously retreated from the muzzle, cleaned the barrel and started loading shells.
Froshad wished he had a few breech-loading steel cannons in his hands now, just like the Prussian ones. The efficiency of the front-loading cannons in front of him was really too slow!
Just as the tower was preparing for the second bombardment, in the pod of the Zeppelin airship, Count Zeppelin shook his head and climbed up from the floor.
"Deflate! Reduce the air pressure...the airship is landing..." As he roared, the surviving operators began to get busy.
This is the most correct choice. Facing the airship with heavy artillery, you can only choose to avoid it!
At this moment, there were more than ten large holes cut in the airbag of the Fuhrer airship, and the hot air rushed outwards. Fortunately, the airbag was large enough and the firepower of the three kerosene boilers was strong enough, so it did not fall immediately.
"No! We can't land..." At this moment, Xiao Letian's voice sounded from the front of the pod. The head of state pushed away the dragon guard who was blocking the bullet for him, stood up and said loudly.
"Victory is right in front of me. No one can stop my progress... The enemy is within 800 meters. Can't my warriors even solve this small problem?"
"There are only two old front-mounted bronze cannons on the tower! Where are my snipers? If you can't suppress these bastards at 800 meters, what use do I need from you?"
"Fire! Suppress the enemy. From now on, those two artillery pieces are not allowed to fire another shot..."
"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the mission!" A uniform roar sounded around Xiao Letian. Six snipers half-knelt in front of the pod, with the muzzles of Mauser guns equipped with scopes pointed at the central tower 800 meters away.
The effective range of the Mauser is within 800, and the furthest is 1,200 meters. Beyond this distance, it has no power. The tower is currently 800 meters away from the airship. This distance is considered a distance for ordinary gunners. It's the limit.
But Frossard encountered the first army in the world that valued snipers the most. Xiao Letian's army was a group of special forces, especially since each of these snipers received more than 30,000 rounds of bullet training per year!
This is purely a sharpshooter fed with bullets, and shooting has become their subconscious conditioned reflex!
The calm and calm snipers were as steady as a mountain. In the shaking pod, their muzzles were firmly fixed at one point, and the crosshairs of the scope were firmly placed on the head of the gunner in the distance.
Hold your breath and concentrate! Fighter opportunities are fleeting, and the time the crosshair is set on the enemy's vital points may only be 0.1 seconds, but they will not miss such a fighter opportunity.
Pulling the trigger, the Mauser's firing pin hits the primer, and the power of the explosion pushes the projectile forward. The new rifling penetrates the bullet's skin and creates a huge spiral force.
When the bullet flew out of the muzzle, it had already achieved an extremely stable trajectory. These snipers had already taken into account the influence of the wind and the earth's attraction. The flying bullet accurately hit a gunner between the eyebrows.
With a pop... Frossard seemed to have heard the sound of a watermelon being smashed. The gunner next to him fell to the ground without even a groan.
"Oh God!" Frossard screamed and fell to the ground directly. He was a veteran general who had been on the battlefield for a long time and was extremely sensitive to danger.
"It's a Chinese sharpshooter...be careful to avoid..."
This was impossible to avoid. Six snipers opened fire continuously. Six modified Mausers overwhelmed two Napoleon cannons, and all the French troops did not dare to raise their heads.
Anyone who comes forward will be immediately shot. The marksmanship of these snipers is unimaginable. They killed eight gunners in one encounter. In the end, they were so scared that all the artillerymen did not dare to move.
At this time, Xiao Letian yelled at Zeppelin, "Zeppelin! Pressurize me! Let the airship continue flying!"
"What? Head of State, you can't do this. It's too dangerous... God knows how long the air bag can last..."
"Shut up! I don't want your excuses. What I want is to execute the order! Now the battlefield has reached the final moment of fighting for morale. Didn't you see the French people's return to glory just now?"
"They can't hold on any longer! They have squeezed out the last bit of fighting power!"
"If I retreat now, what kind of rumors will spread on this battlefield of hundreds of thousands! How do you want me to explain such a chaotic battlefield?"
"So, I must stand here, my airship must still be flying, and I must rush towards the Emperor!"
"Use our artillery shells to shatter the enemy's last bit of morale!"
"It's already four o'clock in the afternoon, let's end the fight before night comes!"
No one can refute the order of the head of state. The battle of Sedan lasted from early morning to evening. It has been fiercely fought for nine hours now!
Both sides sacrificed countless lives, and all the soldiers had no food or water for a whole day. They were tired, tired, and scared!
At this moment, both sides are just hanging on for a breath, especially the French army, who is looking at them as if they are exhausted!
Zeppelin sighed and shook his head, "Crazy head of state! Then as you wish... pressurize all boilers! Increase the gas volume!"
"Damn, it would be great if someone could climb on the air bag and block the breach..."
Before he could finish speaking, someone tapped him lightly on the shoulder. Zeppelin turned around and was startled. It turned out that two unattractive Chinese soldiers were smiling at him.
The translator next to him turned pale with fear, "Please...please give them the tools to repair the hot air balloon...they want to climb up!"
