Chapter 374 Integrated air and ground combat!

The White Sands Defense Line is a checkpoint built by the Timur Empire after learning from the Ming Dynasty.

The defense line was built along the Asan River, with high walls, turrets, and archery towers, and various defensive measures.

This line of defense could be considered a natural hazard in the era of cold weapons, but it was a pity that it was born at the wrong time and encountered the Ming Dynasty Army that had already entered semi-modernization.

"Grandpa, you should go to the rear. If my father knows that you are coming to the front, he won't beat me to death!"

As the morning sun slowly rose, across the Asan River from the Baisha Defense Line, groups of Ming troops were preparing to cross the river.

In the frontline command post, Zhu Zhangui looked at the old man with a telescope and looked at the other side with a grimace, and persuaded the other side to retreat to the second line first.

"Are you bored?"

The old man who was impatient at the noise retracted his binoculars and glared at Zhu Zhangui beside him, "If you are really bored, just lead a team across the river and charge. Don't bother me here."

"You little brat are afraid that your father will beat you, aren't you afraid that I will beat you?"

Zhu Zhangui's face became even more bitter, "But!"

"Get out!"

Another burst of cheers sounded from the observation post, and deafening cheers came from the frontline attacking troops.

Shaharul subconsciously looked in that direction and saw a group of small black dots flying over quickly where the sun was rising.

"All fighter planes act independently, launch strafing fire at the enemy troops, and wait for the arrival of the airship troops!"

The old man at the observation post suddenly raised his telescope and looked to the southeast.

As soon as Zhu Zhangui walked out of the observation post, Zhang Fu, as the commander-in-chief, came over with a telegram.

Shaharul believed that the defensive fortress that could hold on for at least more than a year could not withstand the crazy destruction of the Ming Dynasty, and two fatal gaps appeared.

Zhang Fu on the side nodded and also praised: "This person is not bad. His move has improved my sergeant level by at least 30%!"

Zhang Fu raised his hand and saluted.

The old man pointed at the telescope and watched the plane bombing. He laughed happily and kept patting the armrest in front of him. Even though his hands were red from the shock, he didn't notice anything.

This was the first reaction of the Timurid Empire soldiers when they saw the plane.

Seeing that all fighter planes had completed their bombing, Gao Hang issued a free-fire order.

Shaharul's eyes were blank. He had never heard flying birds make such a sound.

The soldiers who knew the Ming Dynasty's characters and symbols were so frightened that they screamed when they looked at the bright Ming characters. Some even turned around and tried to run away.

He didn't know how the Ottoman side was fighting. After asking many times, Omurad said that the attack was going well and that he could just stabilize the defense and block the Ming army.

"good!"

Gao Hang, who was wearing a headset, also shouted in response.

From the moment the Ming army arrived here, Shaharu knew that a war was coming.

"woo woo woo woo……"

"Order: The artillery corps shall be prepared. Immediately after the bombing of aircraft and airships is completed, the artillery corps shall be bombarded. Order: Shenlong rocket artillery corps, concentrate fire on the enemy city gate area to open an attack channel for our army. Order: Forward army corps, prepare for cross-river operations.

Prepare carefully, cross the river immediately when the Shenlong rocket launcher is launched, seize the best attack distance point, and launch an attack immediately once the shelling stops!"

An officer roared angrily. Looking at the soldiers beside him who were shouting in fear and turning to run away, he angrily picked up his knife and was about to chop him down.

This was the first thought in the officer's mind. Before he had the second thought, a bird egg fell in front of him.

The deafening sound of the explosion shook the eardrums. The explosion of an 800-pound bomb was like an ancient giant slamming a hammer on the ground, causing the earth to tremble one after another.

"Are they planning to kill us with eggs?"

Zhang Fu, who also came to observe the photo, immediately picked up the microphone and said loudly: "I am Zhang Fu, the commander-in-chief of this battle."

"Da da da……"

A few days ago, when he received news that the Ming army began to gather towards the Baisha defense line, he knew that the most difficult war was coming.

"Okay, well done!"

"The flight brigade of the Ministry of Aerospace is calling the ground. We have entered the operation area. Can we start the attack now?"

Although the accuracy of the air force was very poor, it brought a great psychological impact to the soldiers of the Timur Empire.

Dive, drop bombs, pull up...

These two are the breakthrough points chosen by Zhang Fu. Once these two places are breached, the Ming army can attack from left to right and capture the entire Baisha defense line in one fell swoop.

Zhang Fu's voice was sonorous and powerful, which brought the spirits of all the legion commanders and officers present to the top.

"What a big bird!"

This order was requested by Zhu Zhangui. In addition to increasing the psychological deterrence of Timurid Empire soldiers, the other purpose is to allow these pilots who have not experienced actual combat to use the battlefield as a training ground to hone their skills.

Improve your own fighting skills.

To this end, he mobilized all the legions he could mobilize, with a total of 150,000 troops stationed on this line of defense.

Zhang Fu breathed out softly, "The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"

Even though the 100-pound bomb was very powerful, it was not a fatal threat to the Baisha Defense Line, which had taken countless manpower to build for several years.

The old man patted Zhang Fu on the shoulder with satisfaction, returned to the observation post in a happy mood, and continued to observe the upcoming battle.

The three machine guns spit out tongues of fire crazily, and the bullets plowed through the Baisha defense wall like iron plows.

After walking out of the observation post and looking at the flying group that had already flown away, the old man smiled and praised them.

It was also the first time to see an airplane, and the soldiers of the Asan Province Legion were very shocked. They cheered loudly to the airplanes that flew over their heads and greeted them.

"I have met Zhang Shuai. I am Gao Hang, the captain of the flight brigade. The flight brigade of the Ministry of Aeronautics and Astronautics obeys your command."

Zhu Zhangui turned around helplessly, winked at Zhu Zhanji, and walked out of the observation post.

A high-pitched chirping sounded from above the head. The officer subconsciously looked up and saw two eggs suddenly laying under the two strange birds. The chirping sound came from those two eggs.

The signal was interrupted. Gao Hang dialed the internal channel and ordered to the 50 aircraft: "The second and third teams attack the enemy's target No. 3. The first, fourth and fifth teams follow me and attack the enemy's target No. 1!"

"

At the same time, a call came from the radio station nearby.

"Your Highness, Air Force report!"

"Block...block..."

Target No. 1, which withstood several explosions in a row and was designated as the main attack point, finally could not withstand the devastation of the explosion and collapsed suddenly.

After all the planes bombed, only gaps were blown out in the Baisha defense line, and no section of the city wall collapsed.

However, before the officers could breathe a sigh of relief, there were strange screams in the sky.

"Team 2 understands..."

Shaharul, who had already made a guess in his mind, immediately summoned all the troops and prepared to face the enemy.

"The strange bird is here, the strange bird wants to eat people, the great Allah, please help!"

The aircraft in double row formation rigorously completed the offensive tactics taught by the group leader.

There are 50 fighter jets, each carrying two bombs, which is only a hundred bombs.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Time has slowly come to the end of Youshi, and all the troops have made preparations for the war.

"Okay, stop playing around, the airship is coming, we should go back and replenish ammunition."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we can't take down the Baisha Defense Line today, so I'm here to see you!"

The areas they bombed were still No. 1 and No. 3

The pilots, who had been waiting for this order for a long time, cheered and formed groups of two, one after another along the walls of the Baisha defense line, firing wildly.

"What is that? A flock of birds?"

Blood rained down wherever it passed, causing screams and wails.

The terrifying screams and shocking dive caused the Timur Empire soldiers who had just settled down to stir up chaos again.

"It's the Ming Army, it's the strange bird raised by the Ming Army..."

Gao Hang, who had finished shooting his bullets long ago, saw the arrival of the airship army and knew that their mission was completed, so he ordered all the aircraft to assemble and form a flying combat formation, roaring over the assembled Ming army.

"Jiji..."

"Okay, this sounds encouraging, I'm waiting for your good news!"

"Huhuhu..."

But even two pieces are enough.

All 30 rocket launcher vehicles of the Shenlong Rocket Launcher Corps are on standby. The ignition hand holds the crank handle and is ready to launch all these rockets at any time.

"The Aerospace Department's flight brigade received the order and began to execute the attack order."
