Fifty Lager 3 fighter jets have completely separated from the fleet, and they are currently the only ones lowering their altitude. Fastest update
The German position had been exposed, and the sharp-eyed fighter pilots saw the fortress-like building on the ground, and judged from the strange smoke that it was the traces of artillery fire.
Instinct told them that the German army was directly below the aircraft group. Their presence here and even the construction of fortifications were indeed unexpected.
Ivanov's order to the fighter jets was to fire freely, and the purpose of everything was to protect the safety of the large aircraft!
After identifying the enemy, the fighters jettisoned all their auxiliary fuel tanks!
The Soviet troops in the forest were surprised to see this scene. Star Tao and Natasha ran with the large army, their eyes never leaving the sky.
"Igor, are our planes dropping bombs? If we have air force support, we can indeed take the opportunity to break through the enemy's position!" Natasha shouted loudly!
Igor gasped and yelled: "Idiot! That's not a bomb at all, otherwise we would have heard the explosion long ago?"
"What is that? What are friendly forces throwing?!"
"Of course it's the fuel tank! They're going to fight!" Igor is not the Air Force, but he is at least a veteran. He knows that when a fighter jet changes from cruising to combat status, it must abandon the auxiliary fuel tank to avoid being accidentally hit and turning into a ball of fire.
These Lager 3 fighter jets were one of the new fighter jets developed by the Soviet Union before the war. They were very impressive in their early stages in 1942.
The Soviet aviation industry has always been short of aviation aluminum alloys. Even in the 1970s, the MiG-25 had to use a large amount of stainless steel to replace it. At present, the entire wing of the Lager 3 and the rear half of the aircraft are almost made of wood.
The hardness of plywood, which is made of impregnated raw materials, is no longer the same. Its structural strength can adapt to combat and can be mass-produced. Therefore, most of the Soviet fighter jets can be called "wooden aircraft", even the Il-2 Lift.
machine.
The inherent disadvantages of the wooden structure also affected the performance of the Lager 3. A group of fifty fighter jets aimed their guns at the exposed German positions.
Suddenly there was a sharp whistling sound in the sky, which was caused by the plane's rapid landing tearing the air.
The Germans had no time to take any countermeasures, and the cannons and machine guns of the fighter jets opened fire!
The main target of the attack was the German artillery position, whose location was more obvious due to the use of concrete.
The German soldiers operating the 88-gun had completely neglected adjusting the firing angle, let alone carrying ammunition. They were horrified to notice a large group of enemy planes sprinting towards them.
"Escape! All avoid!" Following the order from the artillery squad leader, all the artillerymen ran away. They staggered into the trenches and fled in embarrassment, rolling and crawling.
When life and death were at stake, the German soldiers in neat uniforms no longer cared about appearance and had to lie down even if the ground was full of mud!
As soon as the artillery fired their cannons, the Soviet aircraft guns opened fire!
The LAG 3 fighter's axis gun is American technology, and the Soviet Union has made great progress in the 20mm axis gun. Since this is an action destined to have an air battle, the majority of pilots have long been prepared to fight at any time, even if
Even when fighting on the ground, he showed no mercy.
The artillery shells fell one after another like hailstones, and the two 88-gun positions were concentrated firepower. In two seconds, a total of more than 100 small-caliber artillery shells were fired. It stands to reason that a mere 20 mm high-definition artillery shell would be used in an air combat.
Explosive bombs do not cause serious damage to anti-aircraft guns. But German artillery shells are nearby!
Amidst a large mass of dense explosions, there was a loud noise, the black soil was blown up, and a magnificent mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
The Soviet scouts at the edge of the forest immediately sent a report to Balzen to report the tragedy in the German position.
At the same time, Balzen was still running wildly until the soldiers were shocked by the violent sound, followed by the abnormal movement of the air flow.
The telegraph operator could not catch up with his commander for a while. He could only run hard and shouted: "Our army is launching an air strike! Our army is launching an air strike! The enemy ammunition depot exploded..." He kept shouting like this, Barr
Cen Ke finally learned this latest information amidst the noise.
The fighter plane was fleeting. Balzen looked at the soldiers running wildly across the front, and he knew that a huge strategic opportunity was in front of him!
Originally, Balzen only planned to move his troops to the edge of the forest, where there were already a large number of trees cut down by the German army, and use them as cover to establish blocking positions, which could completely catch the enemy off guard when they first started to advance.
For some reason, he just believed that the enemy would definitely take action today. The changes in the German positions in the early morning made him believe that the Germans would take the initiative to attack! In fact, this was completely his conjecture.
The current German soldiers are like hares, and the sky is completely occupied by eagles. Which blind person dares to expose the bunker? Even if these Soviet aircraft did not use aerial bombs, the fire coverage density of the small-caliber aerial shells they used,
It has already turned a large area into a terrible battlefield filled with debris!
So Lotharheim was immediately stunned. He and a group of officers simply lay down, eager to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. What's very bad, the half-crypt house at the regiment headquarters was also attacked! Those who were doing Brownian motion
Aerial bomb fragments flew everywhere, and an unlucky staff officer was shot. One staff officer covered his arm and spurted blood, wailing in front of Losaheim!
Still lying on the ground, Lawrence yelled at the commander: "The enemy is conducting air strikes! They are targeting us! Commander, we must find a way to fight back!"
The shocked Lotharheim was fired upon by these words, and he roared with dissatisfaction: "Bah! How can I fight back?! Now listen to my orders, get down and avoid the air attack."
"But what about our soldiers? What will they do?"
"What else can be done?! God will bless them!"
When encountering an air raid, the best thing to do is to find a hole, lie down, and cross yourself desperately, hoping that you will be a lucky one.
There are many deep pits in the trenches to deal with artillery bombardment and air raids, which can completely allow a soldier to hide in. In line with the rigorous character of the Germans, even if they believed that the Soviet army in the swamp lacked large-caliber heavy artillery, they still dug them step by step.
The pits, including their battles, are also arranged in a zigzag shape with sharp edges.
It is precisely based on the scientific nature of defensive positions that most German soldiers hibernated like moles, but the soldiers of the Eastern Battalion were in terrible shape!
They were a group of people who lacked combat training. After all, they were originally a group of conscripts when they were in the Soviet Army!
It was impossible for the German soldiers to climb out of the hole and let the Poles who agreed to stay in the trench get in, and it was indeed impossible for two people to get in!
Faced with strafing from fighter jets, what else could the Poles of the Eastern Battalion do? Hide in the trenches? Enemy planes had already begun strafing the trenches, and there were a group of Germans in the holes on both sides of the trenches.
The instinct of deserters is to climb out of the trenches, and their goal is to the north of the position. As long as they escape into the forest, they will be safe! rw
