Chapter 476 Vladivostok Air Battle
Although Pai Yunfei realized that his will torture the leader was his own way of hindering his subordinates, he could not say that he was dictatorial and could not slap himself in the face! So he had to secretly write it down in his heart. If he wanted to stop making such mistakes again in the future, he could not act arbitrarily in everything. This is also for his own good, for the good of his subordinates and for the good of the Chinese Empire.
Chief of Staff General Tian Renjie said first: "Your Majesty, there is news that embassies and consulates from various countries have received inquiries from the US consuls, about their views on the Sino-Russian War and whether they support continuing to fight! I think the Americans are ready to intervene!"
"It's not that I want it! But I have intervened!" said Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi of the Cabinet: "You Ping, this morning, I have received a written application from the US Embassy in China. US Vice President Charles is about to visit China. Americans say that Charles is visiting His Majesty during this trip to enhance political mutual trust between the two governments. However, I guess that Charles' visit to China at this time should be prepared to mediate from it and mediate!"
Zhang Yunfei nodded and said, "It seems that the Americans have already felt our threat! Otherwise, they wouldn't be so anxious!"
Tang Shaoyi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that although the countries on the surface congratulate the empire on the victory of the 6th sea, their real thoughts were jealousy, and at the same time they expressed their concerns about the empire's next plan!"
Zhang Yunfei said: "Jealousy is certain! Worry is normal! Otherwise, they will be filled with brains! But what are they worried about? I am afraid that our next target will be them?"
"This possibility is not ruled out!" Tang Shaoyi said: "Your Majesty. Now the imperial army is in full swing, and the 6th Navy is invincible! The great powers of all countries have naturally regarded us as fierce competitors, and even future strong enemies! If the United States mediates this time, it is likely to receive support from the great powers of all countries, even including Britain!"
Zhang Yunfei thought about it, there are no eternal friends between countries. Once there is no sufficient connection of interests, friends will instantly become enemies, and the British are no exception!
"What is the General Staff's approach?"
Tian Renjie hurriedly said: "Back to your Majesty, the General Staff has formulated a combat plan to comprehensively counterattack the Russian army!"
Zhang Yunfei nodded and said, "Let me tell me!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Tian Renjie replied: "The General Staff has integrated the Yangtze River Fleet into the battle sequence of the Imperial River Defense Fleet and dispatched the destroyer to assemble at the Weihaiwei Naval Base. At the same time, forty years in Qingdao, he has been stationed in Qingdao to Jiaozhou Bay. He will carry a transport ship to 6 North Korea within two days today and tomorrow. He will join the Royal Guards in Punan and cooperate with the First War Zone to attack the Russian and Korean troops in front and back. He will destroy all the Russian troops in North Korea in one fell swoop and occupy the Korean Peninsula!"
Then he said: "At the same time, the 39th Army continued to sweep away the remnants of the Mongolian Russian army. The First Army Group moved closer to the Third War Zone, united with the Sixth Army Group and the Seventh Army Group of the Third War Zone, and at the same time attacked the Russian Nebchu Military Region, encircled and annihilated the 550,000 Russian troops there."
Zhang Yunfei nodded and said, "The total strength of the three major armies is 550,000,000 Russian troops. It is feasible!"
Tian Renjie continued: "At the same time, all the Second Artillery troops were transferred to the Second War Zone. Our army dispatched airships and fighter aircraft groups to completely destroy the Russian security positions and all supply points. Then the Fifth Army Group took advantage of the chaos to cross the river and conquered the Russian Amur Military Region and the entire Binhai Prefecture."
"It's time to fight in the air!" Zhang Yunfei said: "The dozens of Russian airships have not been moved. I guess it is when I am preparing to attack us in full swing, and use it as a raid force!"
Tian Renjie nodded and said, "That's what they think. I've seen examples of us bombing North Korea with airships. They will also use airships to suddenly bomb our river defense positions.
But now they no longer have the ability and confidence to continue attacking us, so their airships are useless now. Instead, it is our turn to bomb them!"
Zhang Yunfei said: "The best way to defeat the Russian army is to give us what Najib Church has given us! It is to destroy the supplies of the Russians. How huge the two million Russian troops are. Once destroyed, the victory and the defeat will be judged immediately! This is the real tactic?"
When Zhang Yunfei talked about Najib's attack on the central and Siberian regions of Russia and undermining the Russian Siberian Railway, he was always very happy.
"By the way! Is there any news from Najib and the others?"
Tian Renjie smiled and said, "Naji and his team only rode five or six thousand people, but now they are coming and going in the hinterland of Russia like the wind, conquering cities and land, so happy!"
Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and said, "Yes! Most of the Russian troops were dispatched to the Far East, and the remaining troops were concentrated in Europe to deal with the rebels and domestic unrest. This caused a vacuum of power in the central region, which was caused by the Russian arrogance!"
Then Zhang Yunfei asked Tang Shaoyi and said, "Shaochuan doesn't seem to be very interested?"
Tang Shaoyi said: "Your Majesty, I am happy for the power of the empire and for the General Staff's comprehensive counterattack plan. However, I want to remind Your Majesty that a comprehensive counterattack mobilizes at least one million troops. This will consume a lot of national strength! Your Majesty is fighting at the doorstep of our homes, and our supply is convenient and very low. However, once a full counterattack is full, we will run to Russia's territory to fight, and our supply advantage is gone. Russia has paid a huge and expensive price for this, and we cannot follow in the footsteps!"
Zhang Yunfei suddenly woke up, and Tang Shaoyi was right at all. However, Zhang Yunfei ignored this problem.
So he asked, "Shaochuan's words make sense, how to do you think?"
Tang Shaoyi said: "Your Majesty, you once said that war is just a continuation of politics, it is also the last means and the lowest means. The benefits that cannot be obtained by war should be retrieved at the negotiating table!"
Zhang Yunfei asked, "Are you talking to negotiate with the Russians?"
Tang Shaoyi nodded and said, "Yes! Your Majesty! Americans can see that Russia will definitely be defeated. Don't the Russians themselves know how serious their injuries are?"
Then he said: "The empire supports a million troops, and it is still at the doorstep. Russia has to support two million troops and fight for almost a year thousands of miles away. And Russia has Lenin's uprising army approaching the capital of Russia. Since the beginning of the year, natural disasters have lasted for three years and the economic crisis has lasted for two years. There are strikes, strikes, armed riots everywhere in the country. Even mutiny has occurred within the Russian army! With Russia's national strength, can it still support it?"
Tian Renjie said: "It is precisely because the Russians are already in the middle of the sky that we have to beat the dogs in the water!"
Then he said to Zhang Yunfei: "Your Majesty, once we counterattack on the whole line, Russia will inevitably collapse. We can not only recover the lost territory, but also occupy the entire Siberian territory of Russia!"
Tang Shaoyi said: "Chief of Staff Tian, I know your soldiers like to use war to solve problems. However, I need to remind you, suppose you defeated two million Russian troops, suppose you occupied Siberia. What afterwards? The Russians spent all their national strength because of the vast Siberia's inability to supply, can you replenish them? You just followed the old path of Russia! Just imagine, Russia suddenly lost two-thirds of its territory, will their citizens agree? In this way, the Sino-Russian war contradiction will become the main contradiction in Russia. The level of Russian national education is much higher than that of our empire. In this case, Russia will not only not surrender, but instead, because of our aggressiveness, Russia unites and resists us with all its might. At that time, we were fighting thousands of miles away, and Russia was fighting at home. Have you ever thought about it?"
Tang Shaoyi's words made Tian Renjie speechless and looked at Zhang Yunfei helplessly.
Zhang Yunfei naturally understood in his heart that what Tang Shaoyi said to Tian Renjie was undoubtedly for him. Everyone knew that Zhang Yunfei had long been thinking about Siberia in Russia, but Tang Shaoyi would not directly deny Zhang Yunfei's will. He could only persuade him from the side, hoping that Zhang Yunfei would be.
However, Tang Shaoyi's words made Zhang Yunfei fall into deep thought. As he said, if he is aggressive towards Russia at present, it will not only not aggravate the demise of Russia, but will instead stimulate the Russians to unite and unite with the outside world. Zhang Yunfei did not want to consume the national strength excessively. If he wants to dominate the world in the future, then now he must work hard to expand himself and strengthen himself when the European and American powers have no time to take care of the Far East.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yunfei said, "Shou" is right! Now is not the time to stimulate Russia! In this case, if the United States proposes mediation, it will sell them a face and show our sincerity!"
Then seeing Tian Renjie's disappointment, Zhang Yunfei smiled and said, "But negotiation alone is not enough! If they don't hurt the Russians, they will not make big concessions. Therefore, the General Staff continues to maintain a strong attack on the Russian team. Of course, there is no need to fight back in full, but locally teach them that they can still move the air force and seize air supremacy. At the same time, North Korea does not have to board the 6th, but it is necessary to surround the North Korean Russian army and not let them run away. These hundreds of thousands of Russian troops will become our bargaining chips for threatening Russia at the negotiating table!"
Although it was not a full-scale counterattack, Tian Renjie was still very happy to fight the local war at the airport, so he happily accepted the order.
Tang Shaoyi hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhang Yunfei smiled and said, "Only with you ministers and foremen, I can create my wiseness!"
Tang Shaoyi, Tian Renjie and others hurriedly said they didn't dare.
Afterwards, Zhang Yunfei discussed with them and other ministers, and after dealing with some other matters, the imperial meeting ended.
The next day, at the Huichun Hall, the Yanji Field Airport of China's Second War Zone, the Chinese Emperor Qin Royal Air Force assembled three fighter squadrons and twenty-five Adel-type airships. It was preparing to carry out strategic bombing of the sea hunchwei of the Amur Military Region of Russia's Far East.
At nine o'clock in the morning, when the sky dissipated, twenty-five airships took off with roars, carrying twenty-ton bombs and two-ton white bombs, flying towards Sea Cucumber, while three fighter squadrons stopped at the airport and stood for a standby attack.
The straight-line distance between Haichuanwei and Huichun Hall is only more than 100 miles. However, it will take half an hour for the airship full of bombs to fly over Haichuanwei.
Because the sky is very visibility, it can be said that the sun is shining and the sky is bright. The Russian sea cucumber explores the air balloon immediately appeared in the Imperial Qin Air Force's airship formation and quickly reported to the Far East Command.
Since the last time the Emperor Qin Air Force dispatched airships to kill and injure countless Russian troops in North Korea, the Russian army has understood the real function of the airships, and has also loaded bombs on the airships, preparing to bomb Chinese positions at all times.
When he received a report from the sentry that the Chinese airship was attacking, General Akreyev Li Hai ordered the Russian airship to take off for emergency defense.
In order to attack Chinese airships, the Russian airships were riding twenty gun-carrying soldiers, a Maxim heavy machine gun. General Akreyev once thought about the scene of defeat when China's airships loaded with bombs came and were shot down by Russian airships. At this moment, he still thought so,
Russia deployed fifty-two airships in the Far East. Twelve airships were deployed in Berry, and the remaining forty airships were all deployed in Sea Cucumber. General Akreyev did not want the sea Cucumber that he had worked hard to repair was blown up by the Emperor Qin army again.
With the launch of Russian airships one after another, the airships between China and Russia were less than twenty miles apart. At this time, the three fighter squadrons of the Imperial Qin Air Force were immediately ordered to take off.
Suddenly, Black Hawk fighter jets emerged from the airplane and flew towards the direction of the sea husk. The fighter jets were more than ten times faster than airships, and within a short distance of 100 miles, they arrived at the combat airspace in less than ten minutes.
At this moment, the Russian airship formation was attacking the Chinese airship formation with overwhelming amounts of Russian soldiers on it, and the heavy machine guns were loaded with bullets.
At the critical moment, rows of black dots continued to grow at 500 meters above the Emperor Qin airship formation, which immediately attracted the attention of the Russian airship troops.
Immediately afterwards, with bursts of rapid roar, more than a dozen fighter planes suddenly descended over the sky and dived towards the Russian airship formation.
Gu bite tart!
When the Emperor Qin Air Force: a fighter squadron conducted a collective dive, the machine guns inside the nose opened fire. In an instant, more than a dozen streams of light broke through the sky and shot towards the airbags on the Russian airship.
Russian airships are semi-hard airship structures, but they cannot withstand the power of machine guns at all. Because the airship's airbag area is too large, almost five or six times that of the airship, the bullets fired by the fighter jets at the affiliated high school can easily hit the target.
Suddenly, the airbags of the Russian airship were penetrated, the gas leaked out, and the airship suddenly lost its balance. The Russian soldiers on the airship fell from place to place and fell on the deck. Some of them were instantly unbalanced and flashed down, one by one, doing free fall movements. At an altitude of more than 200 meters, they fell to the ground and turned into pieces of meat.
The gas charged in the Russian airship was hydrogen. With the continuous firing of the Diqin fighter jets, the bullets fired one after another, and the flames instantly generated inside the airbags. Then the airbags over the airships exploded one after another, and the airboats immediately fell to the ground in a raging fire.
General Akreyev, who was watching the battle in the ground command center, was extremely shocked. He originally wanted to defeat China's airship troops in one fell swoop and seize air supremacy. Then he used the airships to bomb the Chinese positions. However, the scenes in the air today made him unable to believe whether he had read it wrong. Those explosions of airships should be China!
However, the next moment, when he saw a large group of Chinese planes diving, he realized that the culprit was not the other party's airship, but the sudden appearance of the planes.
"Aren't they reconnaissance planes? How could they be equipped with weapons?"
General Akreyev was puzzled. Similarly, all the staff officers around him were confused. However, the facts were there, and they couldn't help but believe it.
As the Russian airships were shot down one after another, in less than three minutes, all forty Russian airships were knocked out.
"Not good!" General Akreev suddenly realized the danger and hurriedly ordered: "The whole army is on guard, hide, and prepare to prevent bombing!"
At this time, General Akreyev realized the seriousness of the problem. Originally, he did not order the entire sea hunchwei to organize military forces to prepare to prevent the bombing of the Emperor Qin Air Force. Because, in his opinion, how can twenty-five bombing airships survive under forty aerial fighting airships? Therefore, this battle is a must-win and no danger.
However, the Russians did not have any reconnaissance information about the new fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force, and did not absorb the mysterious fighter jet incident that suddenly appeared in the offensive and defensive war in Qingdao to increase police fear, which led to a major disaster.
With the order from General Akreyev, the Russian army began to act urgently. In fact, when everyone saw that their airships were shot down one after another, they had already begun to hide. At this moment, everyone was even more nervous after receiving the official order.
However, they encountered more than just airship bombing. Before that, the three fighter squadrons of the Imperial Qin Royal Air Force and eighteen fighter jets continued to dive and flew toward the sea hunchou at a low altitude.
Gu bite tart!
As the flames flashed, eighteen fighter jets immediately opened fire at the Russian army in the sea husk. The overwhelming bullets were like heavy rain, washing away the Russian soldiers running around the streets and alleys of the sea husk. Suddenly, the Russian soldiers had no time to defend against the bombing, but had escaped to defend against the fighter jet bullets in the air.
Chapter completed!
