Ten minutes later, the first wave of bombers began to take off. The propellers rotated at high speed amid the roar of the air-cooled piston engines. The twin-engine bombers loaded with more than one ton of bombs began to taxi on the concrete runway. Soon one after another began to fly.
One took off. On another runway next to it, the escorting Eagle fighter jets also began to take off. Although they were escorts, considering the pitiful air combat power of the Russians on the opposite side, these fighter jets were all equipped with bombs.
, the mounting capacity of four fifty-kilogram bombs is also considerable.
The take-off fleet formed an aerial formation and headed straight towards the Russian Zarkent fortress group less than a hundred kilometers away. There were only two mountain passes in Central Asia from Ili, one was Horgos in the front, and the other was Alashan Pass slightly to the north.
, the Russians have built strong fortresses in these two places, and four armies of an entire army group are stationed in Zarkent, Almaty, Taldykorgan, and Alashankou. In addition, in Novosibirsk and Uzbekistan
There is also a group army each. The former is to alert the Chinese to leave Lake Baikal, and the latter is to alert the Kashgar direction and take into account the possible participation of the Persians in the war. Once the Chinese leave Ili, they can go south or north for reinforcements at any time. This is the entire Russian army in Central Asia and Siberia.
troops.
However, considering that the Russian immigrants in these remote areas are half soldiers and half civilians, if we really count, the Russians in this area can mobilize close to one million armed forces. Of course, the combat effectiveness of the latter is definitely not comparable to that of the regular army.
Yang Qingyuan's mission is to deal with the Russian 18th Army in Kazakhstan as quickly as possible before Changfeng's reinforcements from the north and south arrive.
Brutal methods, such as using hundreds of bombers to hit them. At the same time as the bombers from Yili Airport were dispatched, bombers from Wusu and Aksu airports also took off at the same time. The total number of bombers from the three airports exceeded 200.
aircraft, plus a total of 150 fighter-bombers, and a hundred large helium airships taking off from Dihua. Together, they can drop more than 700 tons of bombs to the ground at one time. These will all
In Zalkent.
"Isn't it just reinforced concrete? It's made of pure steel, and I'll blow it into pieces." Looking at the huge fleet of aircraft flying overhead, Yang Qingyuan said proudly, as the first batch of military talents trained by Emperor Yang himself.
, he has a very deep understanding of the air strike to clear the way that His Majesty the Emperor is currently vigorously promoting.
He was proud, but the Russians on the opposite side were unlucky. The Russians in the Zarkent Fortress Group looked at the sky above them like fools. The first batch of planes that flew over their heads were more than 150.
This was the first time they had seen such a spectacular scene. Of course, for many people inside, this was also the last time.
"Air attack, air attack!" In the fortresses, which were either light or dark, chaotic screams immediately sounded, and then the Chinese-made quadruple 14.5mm machine guns, which were the main force of the Russian air defense, began to spit out flames, and some others
The 57mm and 75mm anti-aircraft guns produced by the Chinese government also began to shoot into the air. These anti-aircraft guns had a slow rate of fire and only had two fuzes: time and impact.
It must be a very unnatural thing, only the anti-aircraft machine gun is the real main force.
But their targets were not those bloated, slow and clumsy airships. At the same time as these anti-aircraft machine guns were firing, Eagle fighter-bombers in the sky immediately dived down at a high speed of nearly 400 kilometers, shooting 12.7 mm straight.
The machine gun sprayed flames and plowed up the ground with debris and lines of fire that spattered flesh and blood. Those anti-aircraft gunners who lacked adequate protection were beaten to pieces. At the moment when these giant eagles passed by, one by one, fifty kilograms of fire broke out.
The bombs fell with a roar, and then exploded the anti-aircraft machine guns into pieces.
The Russians on the ground fought back desperately, using all the weapons they could use to shoot into the sky. But unfortunately, they had little effect, and their number of anti-aircraft machine guns was too few, not even as many as the aircraft in the sky. They were trying their best
After just shooting down three Eagle fighter-bombers, those Chinese-made anti-aircraft machine guns were almost completely lost. After the threat from the ground was gone, the bombers hovering at a safe distance immediately pounced on them. The bomb bays were opened, and the fifty-kilogram aerial bombs were released.
One after another, they hit the Russians on the head.
Fortunately, the Russian fighter jets finally arrived at this time. Fifty biplane fighter jets made with Chinese engines that took off from Almaty Airport flew over slowly at a speed of less than 200 kilometers per hour. Looking at the sky in the distance
These little dragonflies appeared in the sky, and those eagles who were doing nothing after throwing the bombs immediately pounced on them impatiently.
When they saw these fighter jets, which were several times larger than themselves, diving down from an altitude of 6,000 meters that was out of their reach at almost twice the speed, the Russian fighter pilots were also dumbfounded. This was too bullying.
Bar?
It's a pity that people are just such bullies. How can the Eagle, which has a top speed of 400 and a maximum flight altitude of 8,000, fight against a Russian fighter jet with a top speed of 180 and a maximum altitude of 4,000? Climb high, dive and fire.
, pull up, turn around, dive again, fire again, pull up again... Just repeat it over and over again. As for shooting down the target in the first few dives, this only depends on the pilot's skills. This is a
A purely bullying air battle, just like Yang Feng's minions used twin demons to bully the Japanese in the time and space of the Republic of China, these his minions in this time and space also perfectly bullied the Russians, in just ten minutes
After the air war, Russian fighter jets were no longer visible in the sky.
"This is not an air battle, this is target practice!" the commander of the flying wing described it in a report submitted to his superiors afterwards.
Fortunately, when the air battle ended, those bombers also finished dropping their bombs. They walked away one by one under the sad and angry eyes of the surviving Russians below. The Russians on the ground finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to clean up those bombs silently.
There were fragmented corpses inside the bombed fortress. However, before they could clear a third of it, the shrill air defense siren sounded again, and the bombers from Wusu Airport arrived, and the poor Russians panicked one by one.
At a loss, they quickly looked for a place to hide. In fact, they also knew that hiding was useless in front of these demons from the sky. Even the reinforced concrete bunkers were still smashed open by a bomb. These fortresses of theirs were not the same as real large fortresses at all.
Level. After all, there are no railways and no ports here for large-scale transportation of building materials. It is only for infantry, not to mention that it can block 50 kilograms of aerial bombs but cannot block 250 kilograms.
class.
Hiding is just for psychological comfort. Instead of relying on the protection of the fortress, you might as well pray to God to prevent yourself from being so unlucky!
Because the Russians' anti-aircraft weapons and fighter jets basically no longer exist, the bombers and fighter-bombers that took off from Wusu Airport carried out the bombing very calmly, just like a normal bomb-dropping practice, dropping a bomb on the heads of the Russians.
More than a hundred tons of bombs then flew away in the same way, not even one was lost, only two suffered a few harmless light machine gun bullets.
After these guys finished wreaking havoc, the Russian fortress group below can only be said to be the former fortress group. The dilapidated fortresses between the huge craters are like disemboweled turtles, exposing their internal organs. The Russians
The blood dyed the inside red, and it really looked like the internal organs after being disemboweled.
The remaining poor Russian soldiers had to clean up again with grief and anger, but this time the number was much smaller than last time, but just after they had cleared less than one-tenth, the heartbreaking air defense
The alarm sounded again.
Those Russian soldiers are about to collapse. Are you finished?
Of course it's not over.
This time, they took off from Aksu Airport. In fact, they were about the same distance from here as Wusu Airport. It was just that they had to take a detour and fly over the Tianshan Mountains, so they arrived late. Of course, this didn't matter. It didn't matter to the Russians.
It's the same thing, they're all demons, they're all terrible demons. In the roar of falling bombs, those Russians kept cursing these guys, and by the way, they were cursing the Chinese Army opposite. Don't use it if you have the ability.
Plane, let's fight knife to knife and gun to gun.
What they didn't know was that at this moment, their demands had been met, and a huge army with more than 600 tanks as the vanguard from the dry grasslands of the Ili Valley was rushing towards this direction.
Above their heads, the next nightmare of the Russians in Zarkant Fortress was slowly flying over. A huge air fleet composed of a hundred airships covered the sky. This spectacular scene even the Chinese soldiers on the ground could not help but lift their heads.
Starting to look up at the sky, some of them forgot to move forward. Although for Emperor Yang, airships were already considered weapons that should be eliminated, but in this era, they are still very useful, especially when used to deal with enemies who have no ability to resist. Compared with bombers,
, these behemoths have natural advantages in terms of bomb load and combat radius.
His Thunder bomber cannot fly directly from Dihua to Zarkent with five or six tons of bombs.
When these aerial behemoths flew over this fortress, the Russians below were already desperate. These airships became the last straw that broke their courage. Before the bombing began, a large number of Russian soldiers had already abandoned them.
Their fortress fled hurriedly in the direction of Almaty in the empty valley. Even though the Russian commander responsible for guarding Zarkent used machine guns to stop them, they did not stop their escape. When the roar of falling bombs sounded in the sky,
, even the general jumped on his horse helplessly. (To be continued...)
