Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Under the orders of the officers, the soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom emerged from the fortress and then attacked Suifenhe.

If they want to defeat the Daxia Army, they must first cross the Suifen River.

But is life so easy in Suifenhe?

If it was really that easy, Daxia's soldiers would have fought across the river long ago.

When the soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom got out of the fortress and just came to the river, Daxia's side, all positions, light and heavy firepower, opened fire at the same time.

Countless bullets were thrown at the Rakshasa soldiers who were preparing to cross the river.

In order to maximize the damage to the enemy, Daxia did not choose to use artillery to blast the ice. Instead, they used semi-automatic rifles, light machine guns and other automated weapons to continuously fire.

As for those Rakshasa soldiers, there was no shelter at all on the ice. They could only rely on their own flesh and blood to fight against the bullets from Daxia.

Therefore, there is only one result waiting for them, and that is to be hit by bullets and then fall to the ground.

In such an environment, the Rakshasa soldiers had no chance or ability to rescue their comrades who were shot, and could only let them fall in the ice and snow.

The living people are still hanging on, and there is no way to rescue others.

As a result, those who were shot and injured could only lie on the cold ice.

It's okay if the injury is minor, and they can help themselves or crawl back to the other side.

The seriously injured Rakshasa soldiers who had lost the ability to move could only watch helplessly as their own blood flowed out of their wounds.

Slowly feel that the body is getting colder and colder, feel the passage of life, feel death and despair.

At this moment, several huge shadows suddenly appeared in the sky. They were the Golden Eagle-class airships of the Silver Eagle Army.

The targets of these airships are not the Rakshasa Kingdom infantry below. They have only one goal, and that is the Suifen Ancient City fortress complex on the other side of the river.

These batches of golden eagles have long been replaced with heavy-duty aerial bombs, and the weight of each aerial bomb has reached 500 kilograms.

A sure-fire killing weapon, if one hits it, there will be absolutely no humans or animals left in a radius of several hundred meters.

The golden eagle flew over the fortress group at a height of two thousand meters.

The soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom who had been bombed a long time ago naturally knew what this group of airships wanted to do.

As a result, some temporarily modified anti-aircraft weapons below opened fire.

Among these weapons, the most common is the Maxim heavy machine gun. After all, this thing originally had anti-aircraft capabilities, but Rakshasa engineers fixed the heavy machine gun on a small car and added a baffle in order to protect the shooter.

Now, in order to expand its air defense capabilities, the Rakshasa Kingdom has dismantled a batch of heavy machine guns and transformed them into anti-aircraft machine guns.

However, this kind of upward shooting greatly reduces the range of the machine gun, and often cannot hit the airship.

As a result, the Rakshasa Kingdom completed the modification of a batch of small-caliber artillery, turning these 37 or 45 mm artillery into temporarily the most primitive anti-aircraft artillery.

This time, the range is enough, but the power is still not enough.

As mentioned before, in order to effectively defend against attacks by enemy anti-aircraft weapons, the Golden Eagle-class airship is equipped with a protective plate containing tungsten alloy steel at the bottom.

This kind of protective board has the characteristics of light weight and good protective effect. It is also the steel used to build Imperial warships. There is simply no way such small-caliber artillery shells can penetrate it.

Moreover, during this attack, the aircraft that the empire had been hiding were also thrown into the battle.

More than a hundred biplane fighter jets named "Haitongqing" flew over the battlefield.

After this batch of aircraft arrived at the battlefield, they were quickly divided into two parts. More than [-] aircraft went to assist the ground defense and fired at the Rakshasa soldiers on the ground.

Another group of aircraft flew over the fortress. Their mission was to destroy the Rakshasa people's air defense forces so that the airship could lower its altitude and conduct precise bombing on the main body of the fortress group.

Here I have to mention Haidong Qing’s weapon configuration.

In order to allow the Haidongqing fighter jets to gain an absolute advantage in air combat, at Lin Yi's request, a Haidongqing-class fighter jet was equipped with four machine guns.

Two of them are 7.62mm aviation machine guns transformed from ordinary machine guns.

This kind of machine gun is mainly used to deal with ground personnel or lightly armored targets. These two machine guns were placed above the aircraft's propellers.

The other two are 12.7 mm large-caliber machine guns.

As long as this kind of machine gun hits a human body, the human body will definitely be torn into pieces.

However, a machine gun of this caliber is not used to hit people, but to attack enemy aircraft.

However, after Haidongqing adopted a four-machine gun design, the rate of fire of the four machine guns was reduced a lot.

However, these are just minor issues. After all, the rate of fire is not enough, but given the quantity, Hai Dongqing's attack capability and firepower configuration are still at full capacity.

Let’s not talk about the planes that flew over the main body of the fortress to assist the airship in dealing with the fortress. Let’s talk about the planes that hovered on the river, preparing to attack the Rakshasa soldiers on the ground.

Under the leadership of the squadron leader, thirty aircraft circled like eagles, then seemed to have selected their prey, and then pounced towards the ground.

As they dived, the planes opened fire, sending bullets ripping across the ice and through the crowd.

Blood-red flowers splashed among the crowd.

Some pilots, whether by mistake or on purpose, fired with 12.7mm machine guns.

With huge bullets, as long as it hits a human body, it can directly beat that person into a ball of blood mist.

Broken limbs and broken arms were flying everywhere.

The Rakshasa soldiers below had never seen such a scene before, and they didn't know the plane. As a result, the morale of the soldiers dropped again and again.

As for some well-informed Rakshasa officers, they had seen airplanes, but the problem was that they did not expect that airplanes could be equipped with weapons.

You must know that in this time, space, and time period, the aircraft is only a reconnaissance auxiliary tool. Its main task is to fly over the enemy's sky and conduct low-altitude reconnaissance of the enemy's deployment.

No one thought that planes could be used for attack.

For example, in the current European battlefield, both the Hans Empire and the John Empire are equipped with aircraft, but they still only fly over the enemy's positions to take pictures and conduct reconnaissance.

On the Daxia side, they actually equipped the aircraft with weapons so that they could conduct ground attacks.

This shocked the Rakshasa officers.

Because they discovered that they now have no ability to take any countermeasures against these aircraft flying around.

Maybe it would be better on the fortress side. After all, there are anti-aircraft machine guns and simple anti-aircraft guns that have been modified to defend against airships.

But the problem is that those weapons are very heavy and can only be fixed in one place and used as fixed defensive weapons, but now they are attacking and fighting on the move.

They have no way at all to pose a threat to these aircraft.

Thinking of this, the hearts of these officers were also filled with a layer of gloom. They all felt that this time, they might be defeated.

And it was a disastrous failure.
