Because the howitzer regiment retreated quickly, it only lost two cannons and more than a hundred men. But two minutes later, no more artillery shells flew from the direction of the Russian army. Immediately afterwards, there was a faint earth-shaking explosion from the direction of the Russian artillery position.
Voice.
Obviously, this is the bombing of our air force that has achieved success.
The Air Force has always been a service that Wu Aihua attaches great importance to. After the reunification of the country, Wu Aihua built the Air Force as fast as a rocket, and completed the establishment of the existing Air Force before June 1939: Longyan Air Force Academy and Nanjing Air Force Academy were established.
And completed the establishment and equipment of a total of 10 air force divisions from the 1st Air Force Division to the 10th Air Force Division.
Among them, the 1st Air Force Division and the 2nd Air Force Division are strategic bomber divisions, officially named "1st Strategic Air Force Division" or "2nd Strategic Air Force Division". The full name of the other divisions is "Xth Air Force Division".
Most of the military chiefs of these 10 air force divisions came from the former Chinese Air Force system. For example, Gao Zhihang, who died in the Songhu air battle in history, did not die in parallel time and space, and served as an air force commander with the rank of major general.
Division commander. Huang Guangrui, the former commander of the Guangdong Army Air Force, finally came to the forefront and served as the division commander of the 1st Strategic Air Force Division. Zhou Zhirou, a famous air force general in the Chinese army, served as the deputy commander of the Air Force.
After this reorganization, the Chinese Air Force has become the largest, most advanced and most powerful air force in the world.
The Strategic Air Division has exactly the same organization as when it was established in January 1938. Each division has 3 flight regiments. The regiment has 2 heavy bomber groups and 2 fighter groups. Each regiment is equipped with the "Dragon 1" long-range heavy-duty aircraft.
There are 96 bombers and 96 "Eagle Dragon 1" fighters. The division has a total of 288 heavy bombers, 288 fighters, 576 combat aircraft, and 12,000 personnel.
There are a total of two such divisions in China.
As for the ordinary air force division, some changes have been made to the previous organization. In the past, the air force division had one attack aircraft regiment and two mixed group; the mixed group was a mixed group of bombers and fighter groups; but this time the reorganization has changed.
It became 1 fighter regiment and 2 mixed regiments. The mixed regiment included 1 fighter group with 48 "Eagle Dragon 1" fighters, and 1 attack aircraft group with 48 "Fire Dragon 1" ground attack aircraft;
The two bomber groups are equipped with 96 "Screaming Dragon 1" dive bombers. In addition, each regiment has a directly affiliated reconnaissance squadron equipped with 16 reconnaissance aircraft equipped with the latest radar electronic equipment. In this way, an air force division's fighter aircraft
The total number reached 624.
In other words, Wu Aihua's air force organization system has a staggering 6,144 equipped fighters in total.
In addition, the National Defense Forces also have a naval aviation division, but this division is placed under the management of the navy because it is generally a carrier-based aircraft or an aircraft that cooperates with the navy. In addition to the naval aviation division, the Coast Guard is also equipped with a considerable number of reconnaissance aircraft
aircraft and shore-based attack aircraft. Together, these two types of combat aircraft are equivalent to two air force divisions.
In the original history of World War II, the U.S. Air Force ranked first in strength. Although it lost HNA, its huge army aviation, huge bomber force, and huge transport aircraft force were not something other countries could catch up with. The second-ranked Air Force was the British Royal Air Force.
, its huge bomber force and Spitfire fighter jets are extremely famous. Germany and Soviet Russia can only rank third. The German Air Force wins with quality, and the Soviet Air Force wins with quantity. As for the Japanese Air Force, it is weaker than Germany and Russia.
.
In parallel time and space, the military strength of various countries in World War II has undergone significant changes. Since Wu Aihua and Germany reached an "understanding" in early 1938, Germany's aircraft manufacturing technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. Due to the huge achievements of combat aircraft in the Chinese battlefield, Germany has
The Air Force grew at an astonishing rate in 1938-1939.
If Germany in World War II was famous for its army, then Germany now is definitely a country that pays equal attention to its army and air force.
According to the intelligence of the "Fengqi Bureau", in August 1939, before taking action against Poland, Germany had equipped more than 5,000 combat aircraft of various types and also had 10 air force divisions. And the quality of the aircraft was only slightly worse than that of China, far behind
ahead of other countries.
Due to the rapid advancement of the German and Chinese air forces, the number of combat aircraft in the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom has increased significantly compared with the same period in history, but the total number of aircraft lags behind that of China and Germany.
The number of aircraft in the United States is also smaller than that of China and Germany, but its strong production capacity prevents Wu Aihua from despising the U.S. Air Force.
To say that China's air force is "the most powerful" is based on the performance of its fighter aircraft and its record in the war with Japan.
For the Air Force, Wu Aihua's idea is not to win with quantity, but to build an army with quality. At present, China's combat aircraft are of the best quality, and China's aircraft manufacturing plants are already "trial-producing" first-generation jet fighters.
With military technology that is five to ten years ahead, it brought down all the great powers on the battlefield of World War II, allowing China to gain the right to speak in the world. This is Wu Aihua's ultimate goal, and it is also the requirement of the "meritorious system" for Wu Aihua to choose an "unconventional path"
one.
Among the total 10 air force divisions of the National Defense Force, the north is its key combat area, with a total of 2 strategic air force divisions and 3 conventional air force divisions deployed. The other 5 divisions are stationed in Kunming, Nanning, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Nanjing respectively.
And just in Lanzhou and Dihua direction where the Northwest Front Army is located, there are three air force divisions: 1st Strategic Air Division (Lanzhou), 1st Air Force Division (Dihua), and 2nd Air Force Division (Lanzhou).
Although the 1st Air Division is stationed in Dihua, its three subordinate aviation regiments are stationed in Dihua, Korla and Yecheng respectively.
Originally, the best location for the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Air Division was Kashgar, but Wu Aihua considered not to overly stimulate the Soviet Union, so he chose Yecheng as the location. However, Wu Aihua did not expect that even if he "conceded", he could not avoid this.
One battle.
Return to Tielek battlefield.
The 1st Squadron of the 1st (Bomber) Group of the 3rd Regiment (Mixed Regiment) of the 1st Air Division was deployed this time, with a total of 16 "Screaming Dragon 1" dive bombers. Of course, there was also the 4th (Fighter) in the air at an altitude of 7,000 meters.
) 16 fighter planes from the 1st Squadron of the Group were guarding against Soviet aircraft.
The Soviet Russian Second Artillery Position is the 1st Artillery Regiment of the 7th Division of the 3rd Infantry Corps of the Soviet Central Asian Front. It has 24 107mm cannons; and the one that was hit by our howitzer regiment just now is the 2nd Artillery Regiment of the 7th Division of the Soviet Russian Central Asian Front.
Regiment, this regiment is equipped with a 100mm infantry gun.
Before 1940, an infantry division in the Soviet Union had 3 infantry regiments, 2 artillery regiments, 1 independent anti-tank artillery battalion, 1 anti-aircraft artillery battalion, one each for reconnaissance, communications, engineering, automobiles, and health battalions, with a total number of 18,000 soldiers.
(Historically, the Soviet army's organization was quite chaotic, and even the information was difficult to find).
Of the two artillery regiments of the 7th Division, one fired first to act as a decoy, and the other acted as a "squirrel" to prepare for the fishermen's profit. This tactic is a conventional tactic in artillery operations, but if you want to break this tactic, you are bound to suffer sacrifices.
However, when the Wehrmacht fights, it pays special attention to "initiative" and "suppression" at all times. For example, in this positional battle, the grenade gun used armor-piercing shells and incendiary bombs to deal with Russian tanks. This is a close combat initiative, and the Soviet-Russian armored warfare
Vehicles are also hard to guard against; for example, to deal with Russian artillery, on the one hand, you can use artillery bombardment, and on the other hand, you can dispatch the air force to attack the enemy artillery positions from the air.
After bombing the artillery positions of the Russian 7th Division, the air heroes of the Wehrmacht did not return immediately, but continued to search for targets that could be bombed along the valley.
However, it is very difficult to find bombing targets in the snowy Gobi, because the Russian infantry all wear a white coat, which is exactly the same color as the earth. However, precisely because of this factor,
The bomber squadron leader's aircraft carries a set of wide-format infrared telescopes that are beyond this era. This wide-format infrared telescope can scan a width of about 3 kilometers at an altitude of about 3,000 meters.
"Attention, there is a Russian infantry camp in the valley ahead on the left, the size of which is more than one regiment. Follow me and prepare to bomb!" Gao Chufeng, the leader of the bomber squadron, said to the communicator in surprise.
"Yes, Captain Gao!" everyone replied, then swung their fuselage and followed Gao Chufeng's plane in a dive downwards.
This infantry regiment is well concealed because the tents they use are also white, and non-white materials such as vehicles, small-caliber artillery, and ammunition placed in the field are also covered with a layer of white tarpaulin. Therefore, they are not worried.
Enemy aircraft in the sky.
However, the Soviet soldiers would never have dreamed that their so-called safety and concealment were equivalent to a group of lambs completely naked in the wild waiting to be slaughtered in the face of super-era equipment.
"Andrei, look, it's a Chinese plane!" Two Soviet soldiers on guard behind a rock spotted a Chinese fighter plane flying in the distance.
"Uh, Yeni, why are the Chinese fighter planes flying straight towards us?" A soldier named Andre discovered that a dozen planes suddenly lowered their altitude and flew straight towards this valley.
"Oh, no. Chinese fighter planes won't find us, right?" Ye Ni also noticed something unusual.
"Bah!" Andrei, a Russian soldier, saw a black bomb suddenly falling out from under the plane rushing at the front, and immediately fired a warning shot.
However, Andre's warning was completely unnecessary. Although there was no howling wind in the snowfield, the sound of the "Screaming Dragon Type 1" diving had already reached the camp.
"Air strike—" the Russian camp commander suddenly sounded the alarm.
However, all the efforts can't stop the bombs falling from the sky!
"Boom, boom--" Gao Chufeng threw two incendiary bombs at the largest tent. Because he found from the infrared telescope that there was a large red heat source in the tent.
Without even thinking about it, Gao Chufeng knew that the person living in this tent was definitely a command post of Soviet Russia. Only senior officers could enjoy benefits such as warming themselves by the fire.
