"Come on, brother, add some fire to the explosion I just made!" Gao Chufeng, who dropped the bomb, shouted loudly into the intercom while raising the bomb.
"Come on!" a bomber following Gao Chufeng yelled, dropping two more incendiary bombs toward the area that was already on fire.
"The explosion point is 500 meters long from front to back and 150 meters wide from left to right. Bombing without discrimination!" Gao Chufeng, who had already risen to high altitude, gave instructions to other pilots.
"Ouch--" After receiving clear instructions, the brothers began to dive wildly towards the area around the fire one by one, and then dropped all the remaining incendiary bombs, anti-personnel bombs and other bombs on the plane.
"Brothers, return!" Seeing everyone dropping bombs, Gao Chufeng shook his body and flew towards Yecheng with the 1st Bomber Squadron.
"Eagle's Nest, Eagle's Nest, I am Eagle No. 1, I am Eagle No. 1. If you hear it, please answer. If you hear it, please answer!" On the way back, although the flight took up to half an hour, Gao Chufeng couldn't hold back his excitement.
The regiment headquarters called.
"Eagle 1, this is Eagle Nest, where are you?" Zhao Zeshu, chief of staff of the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Air Division, said into the microphone in the headquarters.
"We are returning, we are returning! The k instrument works well, the k instrument works well, the bombing has achieved excess results, the bombing has achieved excess results!" Zhao Zeshu was very excited.
"Okay, congratulations to the Eagles, come to the headquarters as soon as you return!" Zhao Zeshu also became happy when he heard that he had achieved "excess results."
This time is actually the first actual combat test after the bomber is equipped with a wide-format infrared telescope. Although there has been training before, no one knows how this latest equipment will perform on the battlefield. Therefore,
Gao Chufeng's excitement is completely understandable.
The Chinese air force was excited, but the Russian army was miserable.
The group of tents that Gao Chufeng and others bombed was the temporary command post of the Russian Third Army, housing the headquarters of the Third Army, a Russian guard regiment, an anti-aircraft artillery battalion and some supplies.
From the perspective of the Russian army, their concealment was quite effective. At least, except for a white field that was the same as the snowfield, no other artificial colors could be seen from the air.
Moreover, the Russian command post is also 8 kilometers away from the forward artillery position and at least 12 kilometers away from the most forward position. Considering that it is impossible for the Chinese artillery to be placed at the most forward position, therefore, judging from the range of the artillery
Said, this is also an absolutely safe place.
However, who could have imagined that China would accidentally fly to the rear and discover this temporary command post.
After this accidental bombing by the Chinese Air Force, the Soviet military naturally did not think about super-era equipment. They first reviewed whether their concealment work was adequate.
The result is that they believe that concealment was done meticulously according to tactical regulations, and there were no problems with concealment, including concealment materials.
"Will there be any officers or soldiers informing the Chinese side?" Major General Borisov, the military political commissar who was not killed in the bombing, only thought of such a possibility at this time. Moreover, the more he thought about it, he became panicked, because he suddenly thought that in China
Some soldiers in the Asian front army are originally natives of Central Asia and have one or another blood relationship with China's Xinjiang side.
"Yes, it must be that some of them are unreliable, or even all of them are unreliable!" After Borisov discovered this clue, he immediately reported his guess to the front army with added details.
"Find out the key suspects and eliminate them immediately!" After a brief analysis, Lieutenant General Mogilevsky, the political commissar of the military side, believed that Borisov's views were very reasonable.
Who is the key suspect? Obviously, anyone in the military headquarters, guard regiment, or anti-aircraft artillery battalion who shares the same ethnic group as China's western Xinjiang are among the suspects.
As a result, among the survivors of Soviet soldiers, a large-scale arrest and purge soon began in the 3rd Army and its subordinate divisions. More than 70 soldiers and 9 officers of all levels under the command of Major General Borisov
Executed on the battlefield.
The Chinese Air Force bombed the 1st Artillery Regiment of the 7th Division, causing heavy losses to the Russian artillery fire on the Tielek front. The intact heavy artillery was less than one-third of what it was before the war started, and it was impossible to effectively suppress the Chinese artillery.
"Order the 1st and 2nd Artillery Regiments of the 8th Division to quickly support the 7th Division Infantry Regiment in combat! Order the 3rd Tank Division to quickly open the second battlefield!" The commander was killed, and those with problematic and disloyal intentions were executed, leaving Boriso
Major General Hu had to move to the command position.
During the air force bombing, 24 tanks of the Russian forward tank battalion also launched several charges. After losing 10 tanks, they still failed to achieve any results. The Chinese army's trenches were still firing bullets and artillery shells. The Russian army's most forward position
The infantry company lying on the ground was unable to rush into the 150-meter combat distance.
"Everyone, what should I do?" Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir, the commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the 7th Division of the Russian Army, who was responsible for the offensive mission at a forward temporary command post of the Russian Army, looked at his several battalion commanders and asked.
The war was not going well and the losses were so great, which meant that they would be dismissed and censored after the war. The heroic Soviet Red Army had always been invincible and would never allow defeat.
"I suggest organizing a group charge! According to my observation, in addition to the powerful anti-tank guns, China's forward position only has a few machine guns. The anti-tank guns are not very lethal to ordinary soldiers; and their few machine guns,
If our mortars and machine guns are used well, we can completely suppress them with fire." Captain Menshanle, commander of the 1st Battalion, suggested.
"I agree with the group charge, but there is about 400 meters of open space in front of the position, and it is not easy for us to move machine guns up on a large scale." Captain Parich, commander of the 2nd Battalion, said.
"It would be great if we brought climbing equipment." Captain Tyulinski, the commander of the 3rd Battalion, suddenly said.
"What?" Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir, the leader of the regiment, glanced at Captain Qiurin and asked with some suspicion. This Captain Qiurin thought he was a military theorist and usually did not have much respect for him as the regiment leader.
"If we can drag the mortars and machine guns to the mountains on both sides, maybe the so-called position of the Chinese army will be destroyed!" Captain Qiulin said seriously.
"Well, this is a good suggestion. As long as our firepower can be condescending, we can change the current battlefield situation." Captain Parich, commander of the 2nd Battalion, said in agreement.
"It is not impossible to move machine guns and mortars to the mountains. We can ask the engineer battalion directly under the division to provide support!" said Captain Menshanle, commander of the 1st Battalion.
"Oh, yes, engineer, damn it, why didn't I think of that?" Captain Qiulin, commander of the 3rd Battalion, patted his head.
"Could it be that the engineer company in our regiment can't do it?" Captain Palicki was a little surprised. Didn't he have an engineer company in his regiment?
"If you want to open up a machine gun or mortar position on the mountain, you need large equipment. The few shovels of our regiment's engineer company are not enough," said the regiment leader Vladimir.
"Actually, there is another way." Captain Qiulin said again.
"Oh?" Several people turned to look at Qiulin.
"If we can find a large amount of diesel or gasoline, we can burn a road up the mountain along the foot of the mountain. Once we reach the mountain, it will be easier to find a position," Qiulin said.
"Hey, this method may be better." The other two battalion commanders agreed.
"Political Commissar, what do you think?" Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir, the leader of the regiment, looked at Lieutenant Colonel Neyetski, the political commissar of the regiment.
"I'm going to report to my superiors," Lieutenant Colonel Neyetsky said.
In this way, after the Soviet Russian army attacked for a whole morning, the battlefield suddenly fell silent. The Russian soldiers lying in the forward position also slowly withdrew from the position.
"What a bastard, why don't we fight?" Xu Weinong, commander of the 3rd Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment, who was hanging with an injured arm in the front trench, cursed bitterly.
It has to be said that the Russian artillery fire and machine guns put great pressure on the National Defense Forces. Although there were more than 300 Russian corpses on the Gobi, Xu Weinong's company also lost more than 40 people. The original 1st platoon
and 1st platoon leader Zhao Xiwu all left the battlefield. Among them, Zhao Xiwu suffered a piece of shrapnel in his thigh, causing a deep wound.
However, the battlefield situation will not change according to the Russian army's ideas. At 2 p.m., the Northwestern Front Army and the 1st Air Division of the National Defense Forces immediately launched four fighters from Dihua after learning about the huge combat effect of the wide-format infrared telescope.
Twenty sets of wide-format infrared telescopes from the entire division were sent to the front line of Yecheng. Also flying to Yecheng at about the same time were a bomber group from the 1st Regiment of the 1st Air Division and the 2nd Regiment.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a group of transport planes took off from Dihua Airport and flew towards Yecheng Airport. The transport planes were loaded with two types of aerial bombs, incendiary bombs and anti-personnel bombs.
On the same day, Wu Aihua ordered the General Armament Department, together with the Air Force Equipment Department, to replace all combat aircraft of the 1st Air Division and the 2nd Air Division with the latest wide-format infrared telescopes within a week.
As early as the beginning of the 19th century, scientists discovered infrared; but the emergence of infrared thermal imaging cameras and infrared telescopes was in the 1960s. In 1982, during the Battle of the Malvinas Islands that broke out between the United Kingdom and Argentina, about 3,000 British soldiers
The soldiers attacked the Afghan army's stronghold of Port Stanley. All the guns and artillery of the British army were equipped with infrared night vision devices, but the Afghan army lacked such equipment. Therefore, the shooting and shelling of the British army on both sides of the battle were very accurate, while the Afghan army
But they were like headless flies, only passively being beaten. At the end of the battle, 3,000 British soldiers captured 14,000 Afghan soldiers, achieving a victory against a large number of people.
The wide-format infrared telescope of the Chinese National Defense Force has advanced the military application of infrared principles by a full 30 years.
It is also very strange to say that this "wide-format infrared telescope" dedicated to aircraft combat is actually a lower-level auxiliary combat equipment in the "Meritorious System". This kind of infrared telescope installed on a high-speed moving fighter aircraft, in
There must be future generations, but Wu Aihua is very doubtful whether they will appear first.
This small discovery made Wu Aihua feel that maybe after choosing the "unconventional path", the technology and equipment produced by the system may not follow the real historical logic, but may very well be broken and something will appear in a leap.
