Chapter 40 Changes in War Mode (1)
"I love the blue sky of the motherland..." When flying in the blue sky, Zhang Bo always hummed the pilot's song unconsciously. The daily routine investigation seemed extremely boring to Zhang Bo. After graduating from middle school, he was admitted to the aviation school.
My dream is to be a fighter pilot and shoot down all the enemy planes that dare to wander in the blue sky of my motherland.
The biplane piloted by Zhang Bo is the latest biplane produced by Wuchang Aviation Group. This type of aircraft was jointly developed by Wuchang and the Curtiss Company of the United States. This aircraft took three years to develop and is known as one of the achievements of Sino-US cooperation.
The most brilliant rose.
The modified aircraft was eventually named the Eagle III, and could reach a speed of 360 kilometers per hour. What was epoch-making about it was that it was equipped with radio communication equipment. In fact, the most satisfying thing about this aircraft is that the engine factory is located in China.
, no matter how awesome the others are, it is still a biplane and will inevitably be eliminated.
Of course, as soon as this aircraft was released, the Air Force ordered a thousand of them, and they were used in 20 aviation schools of all sizes across the country, as well as in the newly formed Air Force combat wings. What’s interesting is that this aircraft is not just a simple aircraft.
The fighter jet can also carry one 227kg bomb or four 53kg bombs.
Zhang Bo was the first batch of air force to follow the main force of the Volunteer Army. Sixteen Eagle-3 aircraft from two groups had been conducting regular patrols and reconnaissance every day for a month.
"097,097, pay attention to the front, pay attention to the front." The voice of the captain Liao Haibo, the pilot of the lead plane, came from the radio. Zhang Bo's hands shook with excitement and he quickly concentrated. The two planes flew forward for less than a minute, and Zhang Bo
I was stunned by what I saw.
On the road along the railway, the marching brigade was so densely packed that one could not see the end. "097, we discovered the situation, follow closely."
Liao Haibo also felt nervous. Today's discovery was so amazing. The current location is more than 500 kilometers away from the airport in Novosibirsk. The plane was formed in just two hours. It was already preparing to turn around, but unexpectedly discovered a major military situation.
"Comrade Commander, a Chinese plane has been spotted ahead." On the train that was slowly heading eastward, Frunze was looking at the map. The chief of staff came in to report. Stalin, the special commissioner opposite, had an expressionless face. It seemed like nothing happened?
"I know, don't make a fuss. With such a large marching team, it is very difficult not to be discovered." Frunzhi replied, feeling a little regretful. It would definitely be better to be discovered later. But this idea is unrealistic.
Aircraft were used for reconnaissance and bombing, and had played a significant role in the European war.
"Comrade Commander, where are our planes? What's coming now is an enemy reconnaissance plane. You can't tell for sure next time." Stalin reminded, and Frunze nodded and said: "The forward airport is still under construction, and our planes are still under construction."
We can arrive there tomorrow at the earliest." He said to the chief of staff: "Organize forces and prepare for air defense, just in case."
There are ten aviation groups under the Far East Army, including six bomber groups, three fighter groups and one reconnaissance aircraft group. During this period, bombers received more attention, and the role of fighter jets had not yet been taken seriously.
Douhet's article "Air Dominance" will have to wait until next year to be published. Only China attaches so much importance to the role of the air force. It has invested so much that even a top-of-the-line biplane such as the Hawker III was born more than ten years in advance.
.
It was obvious that Frunze did not pay enough attention to the harm caused by aircraft. It was true that Stalin was the special envoy, but the possibility of dictating matters in front of Frunze, who had a high prestige, had not yet been born.
There is no doubt that Frunze's military ability is quite outstanding, but the problem of insufficient experience in front of travelers is definitely there. The Battle of Crimea is probably the pinnacle of Frunze's military career.
Frunze, who was appointed commander of the Far East Army, was naturally the biggest military trump card that the Soviet government could bring to the table.
The reason why Frunze was used was precisely because he saw the great harm caused by Kolchak's remnants and the ambitions of Chinese imperialism. Precisely because of this, after achieving a huge victory on the southern front, Frunze was transferred to the Far East.
"097, lower the altitude to 800 meters, be careful of anti-aircraft fire." Liao Haibo issued the order calmly and pushed the joystick. The long dragon that he had seen at an altitude of 2,000 meters before was much more intuitive when lowering the altitude. Liao Haibo, who was born in Nanyang, experienced
During the Qingdao War and the European War, he was appointed major captain after returning to China.
"097, return!" Liao Haibo's voice sounded again. Only then did Zhang Bo notice the fuel gauge. If he didn't return, it would fall off halfway. That was no joke.
The two planes shook their wings and flew away. The Red Army soldiers on the ground gave a false alarm. Under the encouragement of the political commissar, they continued to roll eastward, vowing to fight all the way to the sea to completely eliminate the reactionary White Russians and the invading imperialists.
.
"Commander-in-Chief, the main Soviet army group in Omsk has advanced eastward. Its vanguard is currently about 500 kilometers away from Novosibirsk." Li Daxiong felt the wind at his feet and rushed into the joint headquarters. A bargaining contest was going on here.
, the opponents are Kolchak and Qi Zhenghong respectively.
"It seems that it is difficult for us to convince the other party. Let's do this. Our army is responsible for the ten kilometers of defense line to the north, and the defense line of the middle and south roads will be defended by your army." Kolchak glanced at Li Daxiong who rushed in, his face
There was a flash of displeasure.
Qi Zhenghong was very unhappy because Kolchak had been struggling with this issue of command authority. According to Qi Zhenghong's opinion, he should be the one to provide unified command. The problem was that Kolchak's view was exactly the opposite.
"Then let's leave the defense of Novosibirsk to our army. I'm very worried about the combat effectiveness of your army." Qi Zhenghong was also very annoyed when facing a war and the command authority was not unified. The key was that he looked down on Gore.
Cha Ke felt that his men were all a group of stragglers, and it was difficult to unite them.
Faced with Qi Zhenghong's contempt, Kolchak was furious, but aerial reconnaissance had discovered that the main force of the Red Army was advancing eastward, and now was not the time to quarrel. "The city is defended by Delikov's First Army," Kolchak said of course.
You have to fight for it. Although Derikov has the nature of a warlord, he is still a Russian.
"Okay, let's arrange it like this, hurry up, the time left for us to prepare now is no more than a week." Qi Zhenghong suppressed his disgust and waved his hand like a fly. Kolchak put on his hat and lowered his face.
He left without saying a word.
"Commander-in-Chief, the Air Force reported that the main force of the Soviet army is advancing eastward, and it is estimated that Omsk has turned out in full force. There are so many people that we can't even see the head on the plane." Li Daxiong didn't even look at Kolchak, and he took the time.
report.
Qi Zhenghong walked to the huge sand table, frowned and said: "The situation is very bad, Kolchak is not cooperating at all."
Li Daxiong said: "Fortunately, two wings of the Air Force have arrived. Let them attack. At least we can slow down the Soviet army and buy more time for preparations."
At this time, the commander of the 53rd Division, Wei Yue, and the chief of staff, He Yingqin, came in. When they saw the two Wei Yue, they smiled and said: "Commander-in-Chief, the military seats, and the two independent heavy artillery brigades have arrived. My mother, the barrel of the gun is so big, each
The regiment has four guns, one is a train gun and the other is pulled by a truck." Wei Yue gestured excitedly and said: "Last time in Chita, the only ones I saw were the 280 train gun and this 210 howitzer.
, this is the first time I have seen it. These two brigades are enough for the Soviet army to drink a pot."
"Don't think of independent heavy artillery brigades. These two brigades are directly under the General Headquarters of the Volunteer Army." Qi Zhenghong said one word, and Wei Yue became a frustrated ball. However, He Yingqin, whose expression remained unchanged, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Commander-in-Chief, we
Where exactly is the division? I heard from my brothers in the Air Force that the main force of the Soviet army is advancing eastward. The defense line is a bit messy now. We need to settle it quickly. There is also a brigade that is still protecting the railway. You have to recruit us quickly.
return."
After hearing this, Qi Zhenghong sighed and said: "This battle is not easy to fight. Let Delikov send a brigade to take over the railway defense." Then he said to Li Daxiong: "Go and invite the air force brothers."
"No need, Commander-in-Chief, we are already here." Feng Hua's voice came from the door. The Commander of the Air Force of the National Defense Force was only a major general, and his status was not as good as Qi Zhenghong's. Feng Hua's position was very upright and he did not rely on Marshal Fang's favor to act recklessly.
Qi Zhenghong was very polite to Feng Hua, not because of the great role played by the European war aircraft, but because the Air Force was the direct daughter-in-law of Fu Shuai, the Army was the son of the second wife, and the Navy was the child of the third concubine.
Feng Hua stepped forward and saluted and greeted: "Hello, Commander-in-Chief." "Commander Feng, you are very polite. I have something to ask of you. The Soviet army is advancing eastward and moving along the railway. It is estimated that there are no less than 400,000 people. Can the Air Force attack and help the Soviet army?"
Looking for some trouble."
Feng Hua said seriously: "Commander-in-Chief, although I am the commander of the Air Force, when I came to Novosibirsk this time, Commander Fu made it very clear that the Air Force must unconditionally obey Commander-in-Chief Qi's orders."
"Okay, then my brothers from the Air Force, please bomb me all the way along the railway. It would be best if you can delay it for a day or two." Qi Zhenghong actually didn't hold out much hope. After all, in the current war, the Air Force's
The power is not enough to influence the course of the war.
"Yes, plus the spare aircraft, our two wings have 230 aircraft, ready to attack at any time." Feng Hua felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but it didn't show on his face. In this day and age, regardless of Fu Shuai's importance,
Among other navies and armies, the air force is the one raised by little wives.
……………………
"Quick, quick, quick." At the surrounding airport where the snow had not yet melted, the ground staff were busy flying. Although no Soviet planes were found, Feng Hua still deployed cautiously. The first wing attacked, and among the ten brigades
The bomber group and the fighter group were divided into half, and the second wing was preparing to attack when the first wing returned.
