Germany's air attacks achieved relatively perfect results. The 450 ships almost plowed the arsenal. Most of the warehouses were destroyed, the warehouses were destroyed, and even some were exploded. However, this explosion was not as good as another 250 air strikes. It even caused a big explosion. An arsenal filled with high-explosion bombs and artillery shells was detonated. 800 tons of fierce bombs were eventually sent to the sky, causing vibrations, and even dozens of kilometers around it.

There were fires, explosions, and even ground vibrations. Without wired and telegraph networks, the surrounding garrisons knew that it was not good. Only a small number of senior management knew the location of these arsenals. Such a huge explosion and attack must have happened to the arsenal. With at least 100,000 troops around the two arsenals, they began to approach the arsenal frantically. Under the unified command of the British Army, checkpoints were set up along the way to prevent sneak attacks from special forces.

From the Audience Plan, Britain had already suffered the losses of the special forces and began to build special forces according to their understanding. However, soon, the arsenal telegram reported that they were not small-scale sneak attacks by special forces, but large-scale air strikes. In the fire, they could see that airships that were almost covering the sky and sun were dropping bombs at them.

The British responded not slowly, and a large number of air defense forces began to dispatch, and the 300 remaining airships were immediately launched into the air.

Their speed was still a little slower. The German airship troops were very determined to carry out their mission. In 40 minutes, they dropped almost all the aviation bombs and didn't even look at the results of the battle. They immediately left without hesitation. The location of the arsenal was far from the coast, but the British land area was not large and the railway was connected to the port. For convenience, the arms were transported to the ship and sent from the English Channel to France. At the speed of the airship, at most 30 minutes, they entered the ocean and returned to the base in batches according to the guidance of radio and measurement tools.

The British were at a disadvantage in terms of the number of airships. Most of their airships were distributed in London. From the time of receiving the report, the bombing had begun for about 10 minutes. In addition, the airships were inflatable and ready to take off, it would take as soon as 20 minutes. In addition, the assembly, when the airships left London, the German airships were ready to leave, and the two sides were about a few dozen kilometers away.

The troops located on the coast and the surviving armoured forces had discovered that the German airship had left, and the London airship also turned according to the guidance and chased after it was about 12 kilometers away from the British coastline. They hesitated. In their field of vision, they could not see the position of the other airship. According to estimates, there were at least ten kilometers, and the airships were at the same speed. Even if they were faster, they would not be able to catch up with the other airship without an hour.

The airship commander had no choice but to ask the headquarters for instructions. When the intelligence came, everyone knew that it had failed. Their airship could not catch up with the other party and did not reach the central axis of the English Channel. However, it was unlikely to catch up with them before reaching the land. Who knew whether the other party was ambushed? According to the position of the other party's airship, it was a German-controlled area. If the other party had ambushed and some air defense forces, it would be done. In the end, the airships returned empty-handed and ran away.

The German airships on a large number of airships achieved perfect victory, and in the end they only lost three airships. They spanned hundreds of kilometers or at night, even if they avoided the air defense forces, they would have mechanical failures. They could land on land and wait for repairs, but at sea, they could only sink and let other airships rescue personnel. Fortunately, the ground personnel basically determined the results. This time the effect was excellent. On the whole, it caused a great devastating effect to the two arsenals, which was similar to what was expected, or even better.

In connection with the sneak attack, at least 10,000 tons of bombs were thrown into places where munitions were filled with arms. This place was either explosives or flammable. Explosion and combustion, and the fire caused was still burning raging. The low temperature in winter could not offset the combustion of the fire, especially in the core area, which exceeded 100 degrees and could almost melt the temperature of steel. It was no longer a fire that could be extinguished in this era. The army responsible for guarding the arsenal lost a lot of losses, and after the remaining arrived, they could only watch the flames in vain. No one dared to approach the core area, but they could only rescue the surrounding area, demarcate the isolation belt, and calculate that some of the materials were rescued, but only part of them.

Four days later, when the fire lost fuel and finally extinguished, the final loss of digital reports came. One of them contained 1.2 million tons of military supplies of various types and the other two warehouses containing 850,000 tons, which were devastatingly hit. The materials rescued were not more than 300,000 tons, almost equipped with 1.5 million people, 40,000 artillery more than 100 mm cannons, 220,000 artillery pieces below 100 mm, and 300 base shells, all kinds of guns and bullets were almost gone. With various materials, the loss was more than 700 million pounds.

Even the wealthy and powerful Britain was speechless. It had just lost 1.5 million tons of merchant ships and the arsenal was hit by a devastating blow. This part of the arms was transported at a huge cost for the defenders of Bordeaux. After these materials were destroyed, the blow to the 1916 strategy was devastating.

Things have happened and they cannot make up for it. They can only transport things as much as possible. However, how to avoid this loss is another new attack method. Although Germany has always had the advantage of airships, this advantage has almost never been shown in actual war. The use of airships is limited to land combat. Especially when trenches are densely spread on the front line, airships can achieve very limited results. The dense trenches, air raid shelters, and other things block the attack of air strikes. However, no one expected that they actually crossed the English Channel and attacked their weakest places.

Why, they seized the opportunity so easily, and why did the other party hit the arsenal so accurately? From this point of view, the first thing that British senior officials and officers thought of was leaks.

The arsenal can be said to be the absolute top priority of the UK. Not only does it reduce activities during the day, but even the arsenal garrison has gone through several layers of screening. The family background and trustworthy are selected, and the internal controls are quite in place. Even if a few spies are mixed in, what method do they use to send signals to the airships in the air.

On the day when the German airship attacked, when the airships were in charge of intercepting, even with the help of the ground, they deviated from the channel. This was also common when the airship group appeared. How did Germany do it and sort the airships together.

We have to talk about radio here. Logically speaking, Germany has already popularized radio to the regiment level, which is not as good as China, but it is not as good as China. The airships and warships are all equipped with radios. However, under the premise of clearly knowing the progress of the radio of the Allied Powers, radios are absolutely confidential. Ships, airships, and military forces, as long as they face failure and cannot be solved, the first one to destroy must be radios. Even in some dangerous places, radios are driven with explosives. Therefore, until now, the British side has some doubts, but did not expect it to be radios.

The huge losses made the situation facing Britain quite severe. Next, the Bordeaux front line must be replenished, but the loss of a large number of merchant ships and a large amount of material losses made it impossible to complete the replenishment within at least two months. In itself, it is planned to launch a large-scale attack in 1916 to achieve a good start in 1916 and to fight Germany's arrogance. Now, it is very difficult to replenish a large amount of material losses, let alone the increased preparation war. The plan for the first half of 1916 was basically shattered. It is already good that they can defend the front line in Bordeaux. They can only wait. Fortunately, since the war started, they ordered 12 battleships from the United States, which have been launched these days. After a series of exercises and installations, they are expected to join the Navy sequence before June 1916.

In the UK's view, submarines and airships are all different ways, and they are not the real main force. Only battleships are the 12 Queen Elizabeth-class warships that have been verified in the war. Once they join, the British local fleet will be in an overwhelming advantage in comparison with Germany. At that time, it will be the time for Britain to regain the initiative.

In the early morning, after a night of flight, the airships in a state of tension finally returned one after another. The many observation posts on the land did not see the British airship chasing, which made the air defense forces a little disappointed. This was equivalent to no results in fighting. Fortunately, the completion of the strategic mission caused a huge blow to the Allied assets. This news was still encouraging. Even the former Bordeaux command center carried out a special attack. Taking advantage of the destruction of a large amount of materials and insufficient artillery fire on the Bordeaux front line, it used powerful artillery fire as the leader to launch an attack on the front of just 400 kilometers. In just 10 days, it broke through three lines of defense, basically spending huge sacrifices to the Allied, and even the protection of human lives piled up, completely breaking through 8 kilometers, achieving considerable results.

1915 gradually passed, and 1916 was about to come. At the end of 1915, the German airship troops achieved perfect results. Even with the support of Northwest reconnaissance aircraft, the power of the German airships supported the war. Even such an attack was unlikely to be replicated, which was enough to make Germany happy. After all, the previous results were achieved by Chinese submarines, and this time it was a real German result. For this reason, Germany did not hesitate to reward. Of course, this news was also known by the United Kingdom. The reconnaissance aircraft, a war weapon, began to enter the vision of the Allies. (To be continued.)
