Chapter 66: Forward or backward, that is the question
At this time, Leng Yuan, who had already served as the commander of the 1st Air Division, was flying a plane at high altitude to direct the battle: "The first regiment destroyed the enemy planes below, the second regiment served as a guard at high altitude, and the third regiment covered the Stuka dive bombing."
Colonel Lyapijevsky, the leader of the 51st Flying Regiment of the Russian Red Army, graduated from the Zhukovsky Air Force Academy in Russia. This Air Force Academy is the best Air Force Academy in Russia and the oldest Air Force Academy in Russia. Therefore,
Colonel Lyapijevsky has enough reasons to be proud. He climbed to the position of commander of the flight regiment in five years by virtue of his excellent ability, and accomplished what others took ten or even twenty years to achieve.
peak.
He was amused by Zhukov's order asking him to escort the ground troops. Does China have an air force? Even if it does, they are just a few Il-Fifteens donated by Russia two years ago. They are only early models, equipped with only two 7.6s.
2 mm caliber machine gun. The latest model Il-153 I drive is equipped with four 12.7 caliber machine guns. It can also carry 100 kilograms of bombs and two empty rocket launchers. Although Russia already has
He has acquired a more advanced monoplane, but he firmly believes that with his excellent technology, the skies of both Russia and China will belong to the great Russian Air Force.
"Comrade Commander, the Chinese Air Force has been spotted ahead." At this time, a report from the comrade responsible for detecting the enemy's situation rang out in the headset, "Okay, boys, let us give an unforgettable experience to those Chinese aircraft who have just learned to fly into the sky.
"Teach me a lesson," Lyapijevsky loudly encouraged the pilots on the communication channel.
"Long live the Russian Air Force, Ulla..." The young men in the flight group stepped on the throttle and flew forward with a smile.
"Oh, God, what kind of plane is that?" At this time, an exclamation came from the headset.
The enemy aircraft on the opposite side has become clearer and clearer, and Colonel Lyapijewski can also clearly see the Chinese aircraft in front of him. Oh, it is really ugly. It looks like a big round iron barrel. This is Lyapijevsky.
The first feelings of Colonel Jewski and his companions.
But soon the boys of the 51st Flight Group could no longer laugh. The P-47, which occupied the height, dived down from the high altitude at an astonishing speed. It was huge in size and was the largest propeller fighter in World War II. It weighed 30 tons.
Multiple fighter planes were equipped with three 12.7-caliber Browning machine guns on each wing. The powerful firepower immediately caused heavy losses to the Russian Army's 51st Flying Regiment. On the spot, more than a dozen planes turned and turned away. They were not lucky.
The unlucky guy who gets hit in the fuel tank will even explode in mid-air.
Damn it, this is a new type of aircraft that came out of nowhere. Colonel Lyapijevsky could not believe his eyes. The Chinese Air Force was using a new type of aircraft that he had never seen before to beat his own flight.
group.
The furious Colonel Lyapijevsky sped up and rushed toward an enemy plane in front of him, but the plane that had just dived and shot down an Il-Fifteen ignored him and instead pulled.
He turned the nose of the plane and flew upwards. His extremely fast speed made Colonel Lyapijevsky behind him jump to his feet.
After a while, the P-47 that had occupied the height dived down again, and seven or eight Il-15s fell down in a short time. This made Colonel Lyapijevsky, who was staring blankly below, see.
Their eyes were wide open. These damn Chinese aircraft didn't even bother to fight with them. This made their biplanes have a small turning radius and their advantages of maneuverability could not be reflected. They pursued a hit-and-run tactic, killing them with one strike.
I won’t tangle with you. This puts the pilots of the 51st Flight Regiment into a situation where they can only be beaten passively.
In fact, this one-hit-and-go tactic was the initiative of our great Commander Su. He knew that the P-47 had never been famous for its flexibility in history. Its huge body destined that he could only use this kind of weapon.
Attack the enemy with a hit-and-run assassin-like method. When he decentralized the P-47 instruction manual and tactical methods to various air force departments, it almost triggered a protest from the pilots. The pilots had just reluctantly accepted this aircraft, which they called
Fat Man's aircraft, now even their combat tactics have to be criticized, which makes these elites who claim to be the proud sons of heaven feel extremely embarrassed. But later our Chief Su taught these nostrils with bloody facts.
My darlings, in the simulated air battle over Feilong Airport, the pilots who followed Commander Su's tactical thinking caught those who did not believe in evil by surprise. The 23-0 record made those pilots who still held the conservative mentality completely.
After realizing that the Air Force's tactics will also change with the changes in weapons and equipment.
Now it was the turn of the pilots of the 51st Regiment of the Russian Army to taste this bitter pill. In less than 20 minutes of air combat, 56 IL-15s were almost lost under the attack of more than 30 P-47s.
They were all gone, and only Colonel Lyapijewski saw that the situation was bad and took advantage of the cover of the terrain to escape from a low altitude.
Fifty-five to zero, this was a brilliant victory. The excited pilots did not have time to celebrate before they joined the ground attack.
At this time, more than sixty Stukas were repeatedly rolling up and down in the low altitude, dropping bombs. When more than sixty fighter planes carried a 500-kilogram aerial bomb, it fell off the strangely screaming vulture and fell to the ground.
, the road where the First Army was marching was already filled with huge explosions. At this time, Zhukov could only hide under a ditch with the guards, watching the fuselages spray-painted with sunny days.
The vultures with red marks all over the ground made shrill screams and slaughtered the soldiers running around.
Looking at the familiar symbol in the sky, Zhukov felt a great irony. Just the year before last, the government representing this flag was still asking his government to support them with a smiling face and a pleading tone.
aircraft, and on behalf of the Russian government, he generously donated a batch of backward IL aircraft to the other party. The grateful expression on the other party's face at that time is still vivid in his mind.
Why did things turn around in the blink of an eye? Now the other side is using planes that he doesn't even recognize to massacre his own troops.
"Boom..." A huge explosion sounded more than a hundred meters in front of Zhukov. The dozen or so trucks that had been staying there suddenly rolled up into the air like children's toys and then fell to the ground.
The ground was restored to the state of parts.
At the beginning, when the Stuka was conducting dive bombing, a large group of P-47s were still hovering at high altitude. When all the Russian aircraft were shot down, they couldn't help but join in the strafing, with six 12.7-caliber machine guns under the wings.
It will cause great casualties to vehicles and personnel on the ground.
Thirty minutes later, the young men of the 1st Air Division, who had run out of ammunition, flew away in a swagger, leaving only the dead bodies of wounded soldiers on the ground, the wreckage of vehicles and a tearful Zhukov.
When Zhukov received the report from his subordinates, he almost fainted when he looked at the figure of "more than 6,500 casualties, more than 120 vehicles lost, and 86 artillery pieces". He lost all his power before making contact with the enemy.
The loss of so many personnel and materials made Zhukov so heartbroken that he was almost speechless.
When Hu Lian, who was still waiting for news in Ulaanbaatar, learned that the Russian First Army had suffered heavy losses under the bombing of the 1st Air Division, he immediately ordered the 1st Armored Division as the lead, and the three infantry divisions followed Xiangse.
They marched in the direction of Duma, preparing to attack the invading First Army head-on.
Following Hu Lian's order, Bai Yingliao immediately ordered the First Armored Division to load Somoya S-35 tanks onto large flatbed trucks, with one flatbed truck for every two tanks. In less than three hours, the First Armored Division
Departed in a grand manner.
Looking at the majestic tanks on the flatbed truck, Zheng Xiaoyou couldn't help but feel a little envious. He said to Wang Changqing: "Battalion Commander, it would be great if we could reorganize into an armored division sometime."
"What are you envious of? As long as you are still in our 102nd Division, you will never think of attacking this iron guy." Wang Changqing hit the poor young man mercilessly, and then said in a mysterious tone: "I heard from the division headquarters
My fellow soldiers said that Commander Su intends to reorganize our 102nd Division into a mechanized infantry division."
"What is a mechanized infantry division?" Zheng Xiaoyou asked like a curious baby.
"The mechanized infantry division, that's right..." Wang Changqing couldn't help but be speechless after thinking for a long time. He could only say: "This mechanized infantry division is still an infantry division."
After waiting for a long time to get such an answer, Zheng Xiaoyou couldn't help but secretly give his middle finger to his immediate boss who didn't know how to pretend to understand.
At this time, Zhukov, who was far away in Duma and Duma, found himself in a dilemma. Go forward. We are already short of ammunition and artillery. We were even more nervous when the Chinese Air Force came just now. Go back, don't be kidding.
, if we retreat without a fight, even Marshal Brühel will not be able to protect himself.
The troubled Zhukov thought about it for a long time and finally decided to stand still and wait for reinforcements, waiting for the second and third armies led by Marshal Brücher to come up later.
At this time, Chahar, the headquarters of the Thirty-seventh Army.
"The Japanese army on the opposite side has been active recently. They have sent more troops to Dage Town, Datan and Shantai. There are two full divisions. The target is most likely the Duolun oil field." Jiang Baili was asking Su Tong.
Report on the recent movements of the Japanese army.
"It's not impossible, it's certain that Duolun's discovery of the oil field must have been exposed." No one understands the Japanese people's thirst and greed for resources and land better than Chief Su. In later generations, he can do it for the resources and reputation of Southeast Asia.
The United States, the most powerful country in the world, went to war. For resources, he could bet on his country's destiny until he spent his last copper. Now that he knows the news that oil has been mined in Duolun, how can he not make these bandits crazy?
"It seems that your original concerns were right. After thinking about it, we still have some capital left to look after the house." Jiang Baili said with a smile.
"Then why aren't you fulfilling your duties as chief of staff now?" Su Tong said with a smile.
Jiang Baili smiled and picked up the phone, "Hello, Second Flying Division? I am Jiang Baili. Now I order the defender plan to be implemented immediately."
The first update comes to my brothers. I haven’t been doing well in collecting and recommending recently. I hope you can give me more support.
As usual, I would like to thank 2541 Wen Neng Book Friends 19053612 Ban Zhuaner for the reward for patting the devil on the head. Thank you all for your support.
