October 28, 1916, Somme River.
The German troops of 19 infantry divisions have completed their assembly.
More than 200 aircraft are also ready.
Everything has only one goal:
Somme!
General von Bello looked at the time, and then said calmly to his adjutant: "Let's get started!"
At 6 a.m. on October 28, the German autumn offensive on the Somme officially kicked off!
Thousands of artillery spit out angry tongues of fire, and the terrifying artillery fire passed through the air like meteors, and then fell hard on the enemy's position.
Countless planes roared to take off, including Lieutenant Manfred von Richthofen's fighter plane!
Fight for Germany, fight for Ernst Brahm.
Those few days in Berlin were the most exciting and enjoyable days for Richthofen. He never thought that being with Ernst could have so much fun.
Maybe those sons of bitches in the Military Intelligence Agency are still worrying about who killed Pompestein?
Hey, Nikolai, the man who killed Pompeystan is now soaring in the sky.
The black land is the battlefield of the Army, and the blue sky is the stage of the German Air Force! Richthofen has made up his mind to show the strongest strength of the "Berlin Five" in the air.
Berlin Five? Well, this is indeed a pretty good title.
All that rumbled on the ground was the sound of artillery. The army would soon launch an attack. It was time to show Germany the powerful power of the Luftwaffe boys.
Seeing a dozen black spots rushing towards here from a distance, Richthofen seemed to smell the smell of blood, and his whole mood suddenly became extremely excited.
Two 7.92mm Shifando machine guns quickly aimed at the target, and a cold and playful look appeared in Richthofen's eyes.
Come on, British! The Honorable Baron Manfred von Richthofen of the "Berlin Five" is here!
The British also discovered the German fighter squadron!
While the cannons roared on the ground, an air battle broke out over the Somme!
Shi Fandao's machine gun spit out tongues of fire ferociously, and bullets poured into the opponent in clusters. However, it was obvious that the British fighter planes on the opposite side were not idle. They dexterously dodged the bullets and quickly launched a counterattack.
Two planes strangled each other in the sky!
This is a stage for fighter planes, a stage for countless glory and dreams!
Richthofen discovered his opponent and his eyes were filled with enthusiasm. He did not continue to attack rashly, but cleverly avoided the enemy's attacks while happily seizing his own opportunities.
Fighter planes fought fiercely in the sky, but this had no effect on Richthofen at all. What he wants is efficiency.
The British pilot obviously found that he had encountered a difficult opponent, and he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
At this time, the competition between the two aircraft became two completely different mentality of the pilots. One party is taking matters seriously, while the other party has a game mentality.
Howling past, the British pilot could even clearly see the appearance of the other pilot...
Richthofen suddenly pulled up, and then swooped down from the sky like a raptor, fiercely heading towards the Yingguo fighter.
"Ta-ta-ta-"
Terrible tongues of flames rushed toward the British fighter plane, and the British fighter plane was hit!
After flying high again, Richthofen watched with his own eyes as the enemy fighter plane fell tragically and rapidly from the sky to the ground.
The first one!
Without pausing for even a second, Richthofen quickly aimed his target at another British fighter.
This British fighter plane also seemed to be a desperado. It was not afraid of the German planes coming towards it, and bullets rushed towards the enemy planes like crazy.
Here comes an evenly matched opponent.
The playful expression on Richthofen's face disappeared without a trace.
A good boxer needs a well-matched opponent to set off his greatness.
In the two exchanges of fire, neither side took advantage, which made Richthofen feel a little dissatisfied with himself.
This is not what a good pilot should do.
The third face-to-face battle!
The corners of Richthofen's mouth twitched, and the two Shifando machine guns roared crazily.
Go to hell, Brit!
Machine gun bullets spread out like a rainstorm, and the British pilot on the opposite side suffered a disaster this time, as the bullets penetrated his body.
"Puff puff——"
His body was beaten like a sieve.
At the same time, Richthofen's "Albatross" flew over the enemy aircraft like an eagle soaring at the highest point in the blue sky.
The second one!
At that moment, a touch of blood suddenly appeared in Richthofen's eyes.
That's the enemy's!
An idea suddenly appeared in Richthofen's mind...
At this time, Richthofen did not know who the enemy he shot down was.
Royal Air Force ace Major Lanno Hock!
After the outbreak of World War I, Major Lanno Hock shot down a total of seven German aircraft. However, in an air battle over the Somme River, he unfortunately encountered Germany's strongest war eagle:
Baron Manfred Albrecht von Richthofen!
Richthofen fired almost the last bullet, and after shooting down three enemy planes in one go, he reluctantly left the battlefield.
However, Richthofen, who was proud by nature, actually circled the battlefield at a low altitude, dropped a hand-thrown bomb, and then flew away in a swagger.
He wants to tell all his enemies:
Baron Manfred von Richthofen is here!
As soon as his fighter plane landed, he received cheers like a hero, but Richthofen jumped out of the cabin and immediately shouted: "Wack, Wack!"
"Hey Lieutenant, what are you doing!"
Richthofen pointed at his fighter plane: "Paint it all red for me, yes, red, and hurry up. The next time I take off, I have to fly a red plane and become the star in the sky." The most eye-catching goal!"
Wacker was shocked and Richthofen went crazy. If a bright red plane appears on the battlefield, it will become the target of attack by all enemies!
But Richthofen had already made up his mind. He wanted to become the most eye-catching and beautiful scenery in the sky, and he wanted to be the object of admiration by all German fighters and the hatred of all enemy fighters.
Just like Baron Alexson!
The bright red plane! The red baron!
On October 29, 1916, the second day after the German autumn offensive began, a fighter plane painted red appeared in the sky.
Sitting there was Baron Manfred Albrecht von Richthofen!
Red - Baron!
The Red Baron is born!
