Chapter 597 Airborne Operations

Of course, the Russians are just struggling to support themselves. Although they have some means to deal with tanks, they are almost completely powerless in the face of attacks from above. Since the completion of the frontline airports on the east coast of Pavlodar and Omsk

From then on, those Thunder bombers became a lingering nightmare above their heads. Especially after the Siberian Front opened the railway line, the original main restriction for the Chinese to play with firepower no longer existed. Those bombers filled with solidified qi decoys

The train rumbled from the far east. Then it was loaded with bombers and kept hitting the heads of the Russian troops. Moreover, the bombing accuracy of these bombers was far from comparable to that of the German airships on the European battlefield, let alone their pitiful

Anti-aircraft fire can defend.

Today Wang Shizhen dropped at least more than 300 tons of solidified Qi decoy bombs on the Russian positions that were about to attack.

But obviously this was not enough. When the Chinese soldiers launched an attack under the cover of tanks, the Russians' counterattack was still very fierce. In fact, they were burned by this thing for a long time, and the Russians also

There are also many ways to deal with it, the most important of which is to dig deep holes. During the bombing, except for the machine gunners who kept shooting in the air and tried to force the planes to drop bombs at high altitudes to reduce the hit rate, most of the Russian troops hid in the trenches alone.

In the dug tunnel, try to block the entrance with something to prevent the air from being sucked out. Although if the opponent uses high-explosive bombs, it is likely to bury a lot of them, but at least you don't have to worry about being burned to death.

The Chinese generals who were fighting the main force of the Russian European Army for the first time did not know this, so when the napalm bombing ended and the ground charge began, the Russians came out one by one like mice and continued to block the attack with fierce firepower.

Those Chinese tanks can only rely on the bravery of those Russian soldiers. The front armor of the Dragon tank is impossible to penetrate with the anti-tank guns currently in the hands of the Russian army.

One by one, Russian soldiers holding anti-tank hand grenades or ZHA powder packs rushed out of the trenches against the fierce firepower from the opposite side. They skillfully crawled, jumped, and ran among the still-warm bomb craters, including, of course,

fell down. The survivors chose to find a crater to hide on the path of the chariot based on their own judgment. When the chariot passed by, they suddenly jumped out to attack. As for whether they could succeed, only God knows. And those of them

The anti-tank hand grenade is actually just a super-large grenade. Thanks to the long arms and strength of the Russians, it is equipped with nearly one kilogram of antimony. It is very effective in destroying German tanks in Europe, but it is inevitably a bit difficult to use against the Dragon.

It's hard work. This requires soldiers to bravely put it on the chariot before it can work.

Of course, the result of doing this is that they are usually used as targets by the accompanying infantry, and the success rate is so low that it makes people cry. Fortunately, the lives of the gray animals are not valuable. Besides, this can be regarded as defending the homeland and the country, and their fighting will is still relatively tenacious.

of.

"This won't work. We have to think of a good way, otherwise it will become a war of attrition." Wang Shizhen said with a frown as she looked at the soldiers in front who were blocked from attacking.

"The most effective way is to cut off the supplies of the Russian army, but bombing will not work. Targets like railways are not easy to bomb, and even if they are bombed, the Russians can quickly repair them in a short period of time. As for important bridges, the Russian army has a large number of them."

Anti-aircraft weapon protection. It is difficult for our bombers to accurately drop bombs at low altitudes. As for dropping bombs at high altitudes, it is completely dependent on blindness. Throwing hundreds of bombs may not necessarily hit one." said the staff officer beside him.

In fact, a very important reason why the Russian army lacks air defense protection on the front line is that the air defense weapons have been transferred to protect the railways. The 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns purchased from China and various caliber anti-aircraft guns produced by itself or its allies are all piled up.

What about those bridges and stations along the line? After so many years of war, it’s incredible that the Russians don’t even have this capability.

"If someone blows it up, for example, the railway bridge on the Ishim River, it will be difficult for the Russians to repair it in the short term." Another staff officer suddenly said.

"How to get there? The Russian defense line stretches from here to the Ishim River. Even if we send a small team to infiltrate, it is impossible to carry a large amount of explosives, weapons and ammunition to infiltrate such a long distance." said the first staff officer.

"Fly over!" the staff officer said with a smile.

Wang Shizhen's eyes immediately lit up. Yes, if you can't fight it yourself, you can still send someone to fly over! However, the only airborne division in the country is not something he can mobilize. He has to ask the Army Chief of Staff for this, but I want to come to Li

The Chief of General Staff will not miss this good opportunity to train troops.

"Look, this is a smart general. When encountering a problem, the first thing to do is to solve it technically, instead of urging the soldiers to attack, attack and attack again. If it cannot be solved technically, then he will risk his life and finish the battle.

We must seize the time to develop new problem-solving techniques in the future, so as not to have to risk our lives again next time." Emperor Yang was very happy that Wang Shizhen could perform like this.

"What about the support of the airborne division?" Li Yuncong asked hurriedly. There is only one airborne division in China. That is the troop that Emperor Yang cares about most. Of course, it cannot be sent out casually.

"Okay, isn't training soldiers just for fighting? They are not kept at home as decorations. What kind of good soldiers can be trained on the training ground? The battlefield is the best training ground. Look, we haven't fought in just a few years. How can we

The quality of our soldiers can hardly keep up with the Russians." Emperor Yang said without hesitation.

In fact, he was indeed dissatisfied with the performance of Chinese soldiers on the battlefield. Although the equipment had huge advantages, and the tactics were also trained according to the most advanced tactics under his personal guidance, the result was that they could only compete with the British on the battlefield at best.

It is a bit disappointing that Russia and other countries are tied. Although experience is also a huge advantage, in general, in his opinion, the Army still failed to live up to his expectations.

As the Army Chief of General Staff, Li Yuncong quickly blamed himself. Of course, Emperor Yang just said it casually. After all, he is still competent as the Chief of General Staff. Immediately after receiving the order from the Chief of General Staff, the First Airborne Division of the Army Aviation Corps had 12,000 soldiers.

The soldiers began to board the planes specially designed to transport them at the military airport in Shunyi in batches. Currently, the Army Airlines has a total of one thousand Hongyan transport aircraft, which is Yang Feng's version of Junkers, but its performance is better than the original version.

After all, Junkers' corrugated aluminum is definitely not as good as his aviation aluminum alloys such as 7075 and 2024, and its engine power is greater. Each of these Hongyan transport aircraft can carry twenty fully armed soldiers and travel two hundred kilometers.

Flying at a speed of two thousand kilometers per hour.

Of course, he couldn't send all the thousand Hongyans there. Where could Wang Shizhen find him such a big airport? There were only two front-line airports there, and the bombers and fighter-bombers alone were full, so at most they could fly there.

Two hundred aircraft are enough to airdrop almost a brigade at a time. For special operations missions like this behind enemy lines, airdropping battalion-level combat units is enough. Sending a division there is nothing more than letting those soldiers experience the war up close.

Two hundred transport planes carrying 4,000 airborne troops took off from Beijing. After landing at the military airport in Hami to refuel, they flew directly to the frontline airport in Pavlodar.

Two days later, Petropavvl, the most important city on the Ishim River, the Trans-Siberian Railway passed through the city. Of course, the so-called city is only in a sparsely populated place like Siberia. In fact, this is where Russia used to be.

It was a river port fortress when people expanded into Central Asia. From here, small inland river transport ships could sail all the way to the hinterland of Kazakhstan. This was the case for Russian cities in Siberia. After all, in the era before railways, water transportation was the only effective mode of transportation.

Chelyabinsk, Kurgan, and Omsk are all like this, and this is just one of the inconspicuous small towns.

However, as the Russian army retreated steadily in the Sino-Russian War, it has become a military center. The Trans-Siberian Railway going east is the lifeline of the Russian army in Omsk, and the Ishim River going south is the lifeline of the Russian army in Atbasar in the south.

The lifeline of Russia, rivers and railways are like blood vessels that transport blood to the Russian army.

The intersection of the two has undoubtedly become the real priority. On the Ishim River west of Petropavl, the Siberian Railway Ishim River Bridge is being protected like a jewel.

, although this place already belongs to the rear of the battle line, those Chinese bombers do not care about this, and the Russian army does not have any air power in Siberia. These bombers dare to come directly even without fighter escort. So the Russian army placed a

The air defense regiment has forty anti-aircraft guns, including 75mm, 37mm, and 25mm, and thirty 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns. However, there are not many infantry to protect these anti-aircraft guns. In total,

There is only one battalion. After all, this is behind the battle line. Chinese bombers can come over, but their soldiers will definitely not have wings to fly over.

Unfortunately, what the Russians didn't know was that while they were sleeping soundly at night, two thousand Chinese soldiers were flying over with wings and guiding them at the two navigation stations at Pavlodar and Omsk airports.

Next, one hundred and fifty Hongyan transport planes quietly flew over the Ishim River from the south of Petropavl under the cover of darkness, and then selected a flat farmland area to begin descending.

Anyway, there are no anti-aircraft weapons on the ground. You can fly to any altitude you like. As long as you can open the parachute, you must fly as low as possible to facilitate the landing and assembly. After reaching the skydiving height, the indicator light in the aircraft lights up, and there are fully armed soldiers.

They began to jump out of the cabin one after another, and at the same time, in the transport planes that transported ammunition and heavy weapons for them, large parachutes were also pushed out of the cabin door with wooden boxes attached.
