Chapter 13 Air Stranding Xiu
Just as there was a brief pause on the battlefield of the hilly offensive and defensive battle, a "buzzing" sound came from the sky.
The paratroopers, who were used to being protected by the Iron Wing Flight Team, looked up in the distance, guessing whether it was another round of their own planes coming to change shifts.
What caught their eye were some three-wing fighters.
Guo Chaodong, who had just returned to the regiment command post, just took out his kettle and took a sip of refreshing wine. He was planning to take advantage of this gap to take a nap in a place, and the sound in the sky made him sleepless. He took out his telescope and looked into the distant horizon.
What flew there were some "albatross dii-a" with a biplane with a spinning-like laminated fuselage.
"German aircraft! Orders each company of anti-aircraft machine guns and 37mm high-level dual-purpose guns to prepare for battle!"
With Guo Chaodong's order, the paratroopers who had just sat down and wanted to breathe a sigh of relief suddenly became busy again. The 12.7mm machine gun shooter quickly adjusted the shooting angle of his machine gun. The 37mm cannon also raised their "heads" and stared at the sky with vigilant eyes.
The "albatross dii-a" flew so high that they obviously did not intend to attack the paratroopers on the ground for the time being. Their targets were the fleet of the Iron Wing Flying Team in the sky and the "Hawkeye 2" far away 50 kilometers away.
Long before, observers on "Hawkeye 2" had already discovered the coming German plane. At this moment, they were using radio to contact Tang Yunyang, who was still preparing to attack the small town of Laon.
"Sir, the fighter jets and attack aircraft have insufficient fuel to continue fighting, but the successor plane has not yet reached the designated airspace. If possible, we hope to keep Hawkeye 2 safely from the battlefield...!"
Tang Yunyang, the radio pair, was temporarily silent. Now the two tank regiments of the Thunder Division were preparing to attack the small city of Laon. If you need to obtain complete battlefield air supremacy, then the forward field airport is necessary. However, between the attacks on the small city of Laon, it is impossible for aircraft with shorter ranges to maintain battlefield air supremacy for a long time.
"Okay, Hawkeye 2 can wait for the arrival of the escort fighter jets beyond the safe distance from the battlefield. Now the fighter jets over the air immediately launch an attack on the German attacking aircraft group, and the attack aircraft launch an attack on the German ground troops assembly area. After the attack is completed, all fighter jets will return immediately!"
After Tang Yunyang issued an order to Hawkeye 2, who was responsible for coordinating various departments, he then contacted Guo Chaodong.
"Captain Guo, the battle of the paratroopers may temporarily enter a difficult period. I led the main force to attack the small city of Laon. After seizing the city, we can obtain complete air supremacy in the war zone. I need you to stick to the place without air supremacy until the main force completes its mission!"
Guo Chaodong was also silent when he heard the news. He had just repelled the German attack and knew that if he temporarily lost air supremacy, the paratroopers would face a complete encirclement in the sky and underground. Moreover, before the main force captured the small town of Lamo, he would not even be able to obtain more supplies.
Although he felt that the burden was so heavy, he still gritted his teeth and answered like this.
"Yes, our paratroopers will stick to the high ground until the main force completes the mission!"
As Tang Yunyang and Guo Chaodong finished their conversation, the battle in the sky was already in full swing.
The pilot of the Da Vinci team, Wang Anyang, flew his plane and rushed towards the oncoming German aircraft fleet. The number of aircraft fleets on both sides was 100 albatross dii-a fighters against 30 "Tomcat heavy air combat fighters".
"Fighter jets, be careful, don't fight for too long, return immediately after running out of bullets!"
Just as the fighter jets on both sides began to attack in the air, the "Thunder-Raising Attack Plane Group" rushed from a low altitude to the German infantry who had just retreated. The German infantry, carrying their wounded soldiers and returning with fear of the high ground, was attacked from the sky again.
The difference is that these thunder-run attack aircraft are like crazy. They carry them, whether they are "Tian Nv Hua" personnel killing bullets or rockets, machine gun bullets, and machine gun bullets, are pouring down to the German infantry.
In their dive attack, a tragic scene of hell was created on the ground. Groups of German infantry that were raising rifles or submachine guns in their hands, and the German infantry who were diving from the god of killing from hell were knocked to the ground by them.
All machine gun nests or mortars and other weapons and equipment considered threatening were lost most of the time under their attack. The dive of fifty or sixty "Thunder-Roading Attack Planes" almost completely lost a German infantry regiment.
The German infantry division, who was responsible for attacking the highlands, had to use its reserves in advance to fill the vacancy of the offensive troops.
In the sky, Wang Anyang finally drove his "Tomcat-style" heavy air combat fighter and broke into the German albatross dii-a's aircraft group, disrupting their formation.
Among his sights, the 12.7mm large-caliber machine guns kept firing long shots. Then when the bullets were consumed, they collectively turned and dived, accelerating from the battlefield amid the Germans' confusing screams.
During a hedge in the air, the "Tomcat" heavy air combat fighter was extremely powerful. Because the "bad" albatross dii-a were shot down as many as 8 aircraft were shot down, while the opponent only lost two aircraft.
Although the other aircraft was injured, the strong "Tomcat" did not fall down, but dived with other aircraft and left the battlefield.
"These despicable guys! But it's good that they're leaving, we can concentrate on doing our own things!"
The German pilots shouted and cursed. Although they were not convinced, they did not have time to chase the fleet of the Iron Wing Flying Team that had gradually moved away. They still had to have a mission of attacking the ground. The 12-kilogram bombs installed on the plane made it impossible for them to catch up with the light-loaded enemy aircraft.
Immediately, the German Flying Team's "Albatross Dii-A", which also had a fighter-bomber mission, began to dive and drop bombs on the hills stationed by the paratroopers.
Unfortunately, the flight speed of the albatross dii-a cannot be compared with the strength and agility of the Tomcat-style heavy air combat fighter. It does not have the sights suitable for low altitude and even ground attacks like the Thunderbolt attack aircraft. Their dive crashes into the ground, and is a fire net composed of a 37mm rapid-fire cannon and a 12.7mm high-level dual-purpose machine gun.
However, the 12-kilogram bomb fell on the position of the paratroopers with the attraction of the earth. The German army did not have any "Tianwoman Scattering Flowers"-style personnel killing bombs. However, the German army also had a weapon that Thunder International was not willing to use - poison gas.
As yellow-green smoke spread across the high ground in the explosion, the firepower of the air-fire weakened. As more "Albatross dii-a" fighter bombers dived in the sky, the paratroopers' casualties increased significantly.
"Poison gas...poison gas...wear gas mask!"
Such calls came one after another in the paratroopers' positions, and the paratroopers quickly took out the gas masks they had been carrying in their carry-on bags.
What we need to say here is that the gas mask that everyone in Thunder International is not the same as the ordinary gas masks used in various countries at that time. Compared with similar products at that time, they are slightly more advanced.
First, the entire observation window is more conducive to combat. Secondly, it completely covers the inner cover of the mouth and nose, eliminating the pollution of the observation window by water vapor. Finally, the toxic canister combined with adsorption and filtration has a stronger toxic filtering ability and lasts longer.
As the poisonous gas bombs dropped by the German army increased, the German infantry under the hills took the opportunity to launch another round of attacks. Unfortunately, a regiment just now completely lost its combat capability under the attack of dozens of "Thunder-Raising Attack Planes", so the three-sided siege became an attack in only two directions.
As the German infantry approached further, another fierce battle occurred. However, the strong combat power of the paratroopers made the German army fail to achieve their goals in this attack.
However, the "albatross dii-a" that kept diving in the air caused a lot of damage and trouble to the paratroopers on the ground. In fact, they may cause more trouble to themselves, but this is something that will be said later.
Speaking of which, whether it is the main attack of the 1st Thunder Division led by Tang Yunyang or the arduous battle of the paratroopers on the high ground, there is only one goal. It is to completely cut off the Rommel rapid cluster and shattering assault on the Somme front of the British and French coalition forces.
Whether attacking Paris or attacking the Somme defense line of the British and French coalition forces, Rommel's hundreds of assault guns, and the attack power of a large number of wheeled armored infantry units equipped with "integrated ammunition" are powerful forces that cannot be ignored.
Sitting in a jeep that captured the French army, Erwin Rommel was a little uneasy. He didn't know why his brigade commander Goodrian had to call himself back to the command post so urgently.
"Did the record I have made them think that I am fighting for fame and fortune for myself?...No, they are not such people. They should be able to see that the British and French coalition forces on the opposite side have been in a mess in the face of our attacks. The facts have also proved that their large vagrant tanks are not the opponent of our assault guns. If I could still advance 50 kilometers today... I think we will definitely see them collapse, but why did they stop?"
(The first release of this book in 17k) Bullshit a group: 35761481; Email: This is something Rommel has been thinking about all the way but cannot do it.
As for the first guess, he didn't stay in his mind for long. After working together for a while, he had already seen that the two partners were officers with perfect personalities, and working with them didn't have to think about other things that were not worth thinking about.
"Damn, who will tell me why they stopped fighting today?"
