Chapter 92 The Battle of Ulan-Ude II
Kulun, the front-level airport, the 102nd Regiment of the First Air Division of the First Air Force, which had been transferred from North China, gathered here. One brigade of combat aircraft and two brigade of combat airships. The aircraft kept the airport hangar full, so that the headquarters had to temporarily cover the hangar and ammunition depot outside the airport.
The two brigades of combat airships, more than 70 giants of various types, stopped directly on the grassland. When they entered the state of combat readiness, their huge bodies expanded, and the airship clusters enveloped the sky and the earth within a radius of several square kilometers. The terrifying scene of covering the sky and the sun scared the simple Mongolian herders around them to the ground, thinking that it was the arrival of the gods. In the city, the living Buddha Zhebuzundanba and his minions were completely shocked and had no intention of luck anymore - this is the legendary air force of the Chinese Empire!
Under the strong deterrence of the Chinese National Defense Force, will you go to Nanjing to pay homage to the great emperor next year? Zhebuzundanba had to start thinking this way.
In Kulun's Air Force, it is the 103rd Regiment, which is affiliated to the 10th Division of the Imperial Defense Forces Air Force, and the newly reorganized Imperial Air Force colonel and the indigenous Feng Ru was the corps leader of the 102th Regiment.
He was a prominent pilot in the history of the old time and space, and was hailed as the father of Chinese aviation. Of course, in this history, he had lost this praise, but he also avoided the extremely dangerous safety factor of air flight in the early days of the old time and space aviation era. With the development of the sound and fruitful aviation industry of the imperial system, the flight conditions were much better, and Feng Ru was able to grow into a trumpet pilot under the aviation system of a new era under this care.
With his fanatical ambition for the flight industry, he quickly stood out in the fierce competition between most of the Expeditionary Force personnel of the Air Force, becoming the first school-level air force officer in the Chinese Air Force and the first native native. It has to be said that his pilot talent and enthusiasm for aviation are indeed unparalleled. You must know that the physical constitutions of those Expeditionary Force members have been transformed.
The mission of his wing this time was to cooperate with the Kulun Front to carry out the Ulan-Ude Battle. In fact, it was not just them, but the first Air Force Aviation Division, which was still immature in the entire empire, participated in the Sino-Russian War. This war was not strong in the degree of confrontation and the intensity of the war. It was the best experimental drill-type war occasion, which was naturally of great benefit to the growth of the Air Force.
Since last year, temporary airports and a large number of ground crews have been built in various strategic places in Northeast China and Greater Mongolia.
Take off and escort the empire! Feng Ru and his pilots flew into the blue sky with a cluster of huge aircraft and airships, heading towards the north!
Sergei Kirilenko, commander of the Russian rear Baikal Military Region, who was sitting upright on the driving train, never expected that the danger came from the sky, and the special train he was riding on had become the first bombing target of Feng Ru's United.
...
At this time, although the flight conditions have improved a lot compared to the original history, the flight in the sky is still a arduous training for the pilot's body. At high altitudes, especially in the northern borders, the cold Siberian air in the airplane's cabin is so cold that it can almost completely freeze the bone marrow. However, the pilot curled up in a small cabin and could not have any movement to generate heat to fight against it. This cold body is hard to bear even if it is worn with the latest cold-proof clothing. Therefore, in this era, the pilot's flight time is very limited, otherwise, people will really be frozen.
Feng Ru and his gang members had to keep their nerves excited all the time.
"Captain Feng, this time it's over, and you've made a contribution! You have to invite us to the Grand Theater to watch a movie! At least it must be of the level of the Grand Theater in Beijing!"
"Yes, yes! This time you can't be stingy anymore. Last time I promised that I would treat you to the movies, Team Feng, and you ran away!"
Several subordinates joking on the radio and teasing Feng Ru,
"Okay, okay! Please, as long as you cheer me up this time, perform well! I will celebrate your achievements when I return to Beijing! Watching a movie, that's a little bit!" Feng Ru replied boldly. (The headquarters of the Imperial First Aviation Division is currently located in Beijing)
Oh! When I heard that I could watch movies in the Grand Theater, a group of young pilots immediately became happy, and the cold at high altitude seemed to be nothing scary.
Talk and laugh, before we knew it, the aviation cluster had arrived in northern Xinjiang, and along the southern line of Hunan Baikal, found its prey under the leadership of the reconnaissance aircraft.
...
On the ground, the train was speeding on the open railway line, and among the fast-paced train, Sergei Kirilenko and his soldiers were still ignorant and unconscious.
"The fighter brigade dispersed, keep air alert, keep the airship formation in parallel with the target, lean on, and prepare for bombing!" Feng Ru and his pilots saw the prey, and were excited like cheetahs on the grassland. After seeing the enemy, they chased after them. More than 30 fighter jets of the aircraft brigade dispersed like birds, and behind them, the heavy heavy airships as thick as Mount Tai pressed towards the mountains and pressed towards the railway line on the ground.
After adjusting the angle and speed, catching up with the locomotive of Mercedes-Benz, and remaining relatively still, a cluster of airships, a line-like airship group adjusted its buoyancy and slowly lowered its altitude. At this moment, the train whistle, and the white smoke blew up high altitude, and the airship group pressed down from the sky responded and responded to each other, just like they were greeting each other excitedly. At this moment, the Air Force suddenly began to bomb!
In an instant, a black egg-shaped bomb like dumplings lined up and fell from the sky, covering the train fuselage.
With a loud bang, the Russian infantry sitting upright on the train felt that their internal organs were about to fly out at once. Their heads turned black. Before they could react, the raging fire had already penetrated into the carriage and raging everywhere.
A series of bombs exploded along the train fuselage, and a series of fireballs quickly enveloped the entire car body. The huge mushroom cloud rose linearly, mixed with the broken and cracked train body, showing its original shape in the middle of the mushroom cloud, falling in all directions like throwing a toy.
The large amount of arms carried on the train was also detonated, increasing the intensity of the bombing. All the steel and human bodies were burned in the flames and lost their true form in a blink of an eye. The steel was melted into red iron, and the human bodies were burned into clusters of black charcoal! The commander of the Russian rear Baikal Military Region and half of his infantry division were instantly broken into the most primitive nutrients of nature. The railway tracks of the entire Siberian railway line, which was more than one kilometer long, were twisted into twists and even melted.
It was over, the Russian army was over. Even Feng Ru and his fighter brigade, who were idle next to him, were shocked by the power of the bombing after seeing the situation on the ground, and did not react for a long time. But soon, the reconnaissance plane sent a signal, marking the second target behind the first special train. Only then did Feng Ru and his subordinates adjust their emotions, change direction, and fly towards the next enemy.
The entire machine group was like the most greedy diner in the world. After a big meal, he was too lazy to even use cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks, so he hurriedly started the next feast!
This is the first time that the Chinese Air Force officially participated in a foreign war and made its debut in a large-scale battle!
...
"Okay! Very good!" Cao Chong received the Air Force's report at the first time, and exclaimed a few loudly, which made the staff around him very curious.
"Well, on the railway line, the Air Force has completed the mission. Tell Wu Luzhen's troops that there is no need to be so anxious!" As he said that, he sent the telegram to other staff members, and the news from the Air Force made him feel relieved. If the Air Force's plan fails, then the mission of Wu Luzhen's troops will become extremely heavy.
Not only did we have to rush to Kabansk in the shortest time, but we also wanted to intercept the enemy in Kabansk and face the more than 100,000 troops behind the enemy. This goal is still dangerous for Wu Luzhen's troops, which had only more than 30,000 people, and at most strengthened a Mongolian cavalry division to gather more than 40,000 people.
Now, the Air Force has completed its mission perfectly. Without railways, the enemy will not be able to compete with the National Defense Force for speed. On the vast plains, the distance of the army's movement will be greatly limited. At least the Ulan-Ude is already firmly in its hands. Of course, what is important is that the commanders and fighters of the Kulun Front Army have not just eaten it. Keeping it and mobilizing the enemy is the focus of the battle. In fact, the main goal of the Front Army has now shifted from Ulan-Ude to the rear Baikal's arduous mobile force that has been trekking through Yanbian on the railway line.
...
At this time, on the vast Siberian plain, Lan Tianwei and Zhang Shaozeng's two armies turned to the northeast and wanted to surround Ulan-Ude from the northeast. This previous main task has now become a secondary one. However, the infantry army cannot easily change the direction of war. The crossing of space distance alone is an impossible task for the infantry. In this way, at least in the early stage of the battle, they cannot be the protagonists of the war. They cannot catch up with the task of encircling and annihilation of Baikal's Russian army.
The problem of poor infantry power has become a fatal weakness in this ever-changing three-dimensional war.
At this time, Cao Kun's army had already followed from behind and cleared the rear road. Gusino Ozelsk's Russian cavalry units became their target.
...
Nanjing, the beautiful garden of the Chinese Palace, the autumn wind is getting cooler and the flowers are thinner. In the small pavilion, Li Zhe holds a banquet to entertain guests. The delicate willow next to him pours wine. Li Zhe picks up and says to the guests:
Chapter completed!
