Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

However, if Richthofen was so easy to get rid of, then he could not be called an ace pilot.

The recruit swung his plane from side to side, but Richthofen kept following him.

However, due to the panic of the recruit, his plane shook erratically from side to side, making it impossible for Richthofen to aim at him. He was very lucky to avoid several shots.

However, Richthofen knew very well that this kind of luck could not always accompany the recruit. As long as he was hit once, the recruit would be shot down by him.

I don’t know if the goddess of luck has been blessing this recruit. For five minutes, Richthofen didn’t hit him with a single shot.

At this time, Major Brown got rid of his opponent. When he looked back, he saw the conspicuous red color.

Immediately, Major Brown turned around and flew towards Richthofen, biting the tail of Richthofen's plane.

Major Brown saw that he had successfully moved behind Richthofen, so he pressed the trigger without hesitation.

"Da da da~"

The two machine guns at the front of Major Brown's plane were spitting fire and fired fiercely at Richthofen's car.

In fact, at this time, Major Brown still did not feel that he could hit Richthofen. A large part of the reason why he chose to shoot was just to save his soldiers.

However, a scene that no one expected occurred.

The bullet fired by Major Brown accurately hit the rear of Richthofen's car.

According to the aircraft structure of this era, the tail of the aircraft is actually just made of wooden boards. It will be filled with some lightweight buffers to slow down bullets fired from behind.

Therefore, normally, if the aircraft is hit in the tail, the problem is not serious.

In this era, if you want to shoot down an aircraft, you must either damage the opponent's engine from the front, or directly break the wings of the opponent's aircraft.

Like this, it is basically impossible to hit the tail directly and still want to shoot down the opponent. After all, there is no important equipment at the tail. Whether it is damaged or not is not a big problem.

Of course, unless you are very lucky, the bullet can penetrate the entire tail and kill the pilot.

But is this possible?

The answer is yes, but the possibility is approximately equal to none.

However, this magical result appeared today.

Major Brown fired about thirty rounds at Richthofen's car, most of which missed. Only a few bullets hit Richthofen's tail.

But one of the bullets passed through the wooden panel at the tail of the aircraft and then passed through the gap in the padding.

Finally, it penetrated Richthofen's driver's seat. The bullet entered Richthofen's back, then exited his chest, and finally the bullet was embedded in the dashboard.

The bullet penetrated Richthofen's heart and blood spread throughout the cockpit.

Richthofen suddenly felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and his vision became darker and darker.

Finally, Richthofen lost consciousness, and his plane followed Richthofen and then plunged to the ground.

All this happened in just one minute, so fast that no one could react.

This included the recruit pursued by Richthofen and Major Brown.

Major Brown looked at the spinning and falling red fighter plane. He looked at his hands in disbelief, and then at the red fighter plane. He couldn't believe that he had actually shot down the Red Baron Richthofen.

But then, Major Brown looked ecstatic.

However, contrary to Brown, Hans Empire. After seeing Richthofen being shot down, those elite pilots were all a little panicked.

What should I say about Richthofen at this time? He can be said to be the belief of all pilots in the Hans Empire.

Manfred von Richthofen was born into a noble family, handsome in appearance, resolute in character, courageous in doing things, and extraordinary in skills. With his standard chivalry, unparalleled military exploits and his unique and charming fighting style, he has conquered the hearts of countless people, including his enemies who hate him.

At the same time, Richthofen also received the "Medal of Merit" (commonly known as the "Blue Max") awarded by the emperor himself.

In the later stages, William II even personally sent him a message asking him not to fly any more missions.

Facing such a person, whether you are his enemy or his teammate, you can't help but regard him as your idol.

But now, the god in my heart has collapsed, and the red fighter plane can no longer fly.

At this time, none of the Hans Empire pilots wanted to continue the fight. They wanted to return to the airport quickly, and then report the news that Richthofen had been shot down to the superiors, so that the people above would eliminate the infantry and attack Richthofen. Fen brought it back.

At this time, the pilots did not know that Richthofen had been shot and died, thinking that he was simply shot down.

Similarly, as the Hans Empire's fighter planes left the battlefield, Major Brown did not want to continue the pursuit. He took the remaining planes and prepared to land in Paris.

That afternoon, the Hans Empire began to attack the place where Richthofen crashed in an attempt to recapture Richthofen.

The Allies also learned about Richthofen's shooting down at this time.

This news was tantamount to a shot in the arm for the Allied Powers.

As long as Richthofen can be brought back to Paris, it will be great propaganda for the entire Allied Powers.

Therefore, Marshal Foch ordered the Purple Flower Infantry Division closest to the site of Richthofen's crash, that is, the infantry division where Oli Joffre was located, to issue an order asking Oli to bring Richthofen back. No matter life or death!

After receiving the order, Ollie hurriedly put the division's tank battalion into the battle.

It needs to be explained here that because Daxia put tanks into actual combat in advance, various European countries began to follow Daxia's example and form specialized armor formations.

You must know that in the original history, European countries habitually organized tanks and infantry together, instead of weaving tanks and chariots into a single combat unit like Daxia.

In addition, although the Purple Flower Infantry Division commanded by Ollie is an infantry division, the infantry division he is in is an elite infantry division and naturally has a certain number of tanks.

However, it's hard to say how powerful this tank is.

Today's tanks in various European countries are still the same as the tanks in the original history. They all have a large body, and then several artillery and heavy machine guns are stuffed inside.

Such a tank looks very powerful, but in terms of maneuverability, it can only be described as slow. If they encounter Daxia's chariot on the battlefield, they can only be treated as targets.

However, the European countries at this time did not think so. They felt that their tanks were more powerful than Daxia's.
