At full speed, the bomber group passed over the Cossack Army's fortification area. While the front-line soldiers were still congratulating themselves that they were not bombing targets, several bomber groups had already flown over several front-line airports of the Cossack Air Force.
"Air raid, air raid." A piercing air defense siren sounded at the airport, and many soldiers ran frantically toward the plane or the fortifications piled with sandbags around the airport.
After experiencing the crazy air battles in the Western Continent, especially the baptism of the Yaman Empire's anti-aircraft machine guns, various countries began to develop anti-aircraft machine guns. The principle of the anti-aircraft machine gun is very simple, but due to the Yaman Empire's confidentiality of the anti-aircraft machine gun,
Very well, various countries do not know the various parameters of the anti-aircraft machine guns sold to the Yaman Empire by the Chinese Empire.
The Yaman Empire uses a 14mm caliber anti-aircraft machine gun produced by the Chinese Empire. Countries do not know its parameters, so they have no reference. During research, inexperienced scientists from various countries naturally use the machine guns already available in their own countries, which causes
The caliber of anti-aircraft machine guns made by various countries is generally not high.
The Cossack Empire used drawings purchased from the Nantes Empire and imitated the Hotchkiss machine gun at the Nagant Arsenal in Fort Paladin, using an improved straight-bar type overhead mount.
Seeing the Chinese Empire's bombers approaching the sky, many Cossack soldiers immediately entered the sandbag fortifications, raised their anti-aircraft machine guns and started shooting in the air. Dozens of 8.9mm Hotchkiss machine guns fired fiercely, intertwining into dense fire in the air.
The net prevented the bombers of the Chinese Empire from lowering their altitude.
A bomber preparing to drop bombs at low altitude had just lowered its altitude when a string of bullets hit the tail of the plane. Suddenly there were more than a dozen bullet holes in the aluminum alloy skin. The pilot felt the fuselage shake and he immediately knew he had been shot.
.He calmly pulled the lever, and the plane immediately increased its altitude and escaped the trajectory of the machine gun.
"Pay attention to the altitude, drop bombs at medium altitude, and be careful of the opponent's anti-aircraft machine guns." The commander of the bombing group ordered through the communicator.
The pilots of the Chinese Air Force have undergone very strict training. Even if the flight altitude is increased, the bombing accuracy will not be too low, so the bombers have been raised to more than two thousand meters.
At this time, the shortcoming of the Hotchkiss machine gun's insufficient shooting height became apparent. Facing the Chinese Air Force's mid-altitude bombing, the Cossack Army's anti-aircraft machine guns were helpless.
A group of bombers flew over the airport and dropped 100-kilogram bombs one after another, making the runway full of craters.
A Cossack Air Force fighter wanted to take off by force. As soon as it slid onto the runway, a bomb exploded in front of it, making a big hole in the runway. The pilot of the Cossack fighter had no time to change direction, and the plane plunged into the air.
In the large crater, the plane burst into flames, burning the pilot who was unable to escape in time to death.
After the bombers destroyed the runway, they rushed towards the aircraft on the tarmac and nearby oil depots and ammunition depots. Continuous explosions occurred one after another, and a fiery red mushroom cloud lit up half of the sky.
The Cossack Army only had two field airports on the front line, so it was naturally impossible for several bomber groups to bomb only these two targets. The Cossack Army did not expect that the bombing of the Chinese Air Force was so violent. In addition to the two airports, several bomber groups in the Cossack Empire
Logistics bases, transportation hubs and rear military camps were all bombed, and the entire Cossack army's rear fell into chaos.
The returning bombers seemed to have more to say. On the way back, they used aircraft machine guns to swoop and shoot at the Cossack infantry positions. Since the last time they attacked the Japanese army in Ezo Kingdom, the Air Force's bomber units seemed to like to use machine guns when returning.
The feeling of strafing enemy troops.
With the bombardment of heavy artillery and the roar of tanks, the Chinese army launched a full-scale attack. The defending Cossack army immediately began to fire back, and machine guns raged in the bunker. Relying on the complete fortifications, the Cossack army refused to give an inch.
Fierce fighting broke out between the two sides along the Verkhovyansk Mountains and the Lena River. The focus of the Chinese army's attack was the Cossack town of Yakutsk, located in the middle reaches of the Lena River. Under the fierce bombardment of the Wehrmacht's heavy artillery, the Cossack army also
Not to be outdone, although their artillery quantity and caliber are at a disadvantage, they can still compete with the Chinese army with their stronger fortresses.
The Cossack Army built a position on the west bank of the Lena River and faced off with the Chinese Army across the river. The 21st Army of the National Defense Force was responsible for crossing the river. At this moment, Army Commander Cai Tingyuan was observing the situation on the other side with a telescope. "Lao Cai, on the other side
How is the situation?" A middle-aged officer with the same rank of lieutenant general climbed onto the hill where Cai Tingyuan was.
Cai Tingyuan looked back and found that it was Wang Zhen, the commander of the 27th Army. Since the cavalry units were fully equipped with chariots, his cavalry division had canceled its establishment. When choosing where to go, Wang Zhen gave up the Guards and instead
He transferred to the National Defense Force, and from that time he became a commander of the National Defense Force. Others thought he was stupid. He ignored the better treatment of the Guards and chose to go to the National Defense Force. However, Wang Zhen said that the National Defense Force
If there were too many battles, I would have wanted to go there a long time ago.
Wang Zhenfu came to Cai Tingyuan and raised his telescope to look around. Only then did Cai Tingyuan reply: "You should also take a look. The defense on the other side is very tight and it is difficult to fight."
Wang Zhendao: "Let's make a few tentative attacks first, and then we can think of a solution after we figure out the firepower configuration on the other side."
Cai Tingyuan said: "Not to mention other firepower, there are more than a hundred artillery pieces firing at us right now, and they are all in strong fortresses that are difficult to destroy. With the firepower configuration of the Cossack army, I think there is a cannon on the other side of the river.
The strength of the group army.”
Wang Zhen nodded: "I think it's about the same. That's a team of 100,000 people. We have to be careful."
Cai Tingyuan smiled and said: "Our two armies add up to one hundred thousand people, so why are we afraid of him?"
Wang Zhendao: "I'm afraid the losses will be too great. The war has just begun."
The Cossack Army was much stronger than the Monte Army. Although the rear was bombed to a pulp, the Cossack Army in the front still used strong fortifications to stubbornly contend with the Chinese Army, showing no signs of retreat. Under the cover of the army's artillery, the second
Two battalions of the 17th Army first launched the forced crossing.
When fighting inland, the infantrymen naturally cannot march with an assault boat on their backs. Moreover, the weight of the small motor is not low and cannot be carried for a long time. Therefore, the army uses rubber boats to cross the river. The rubber boats used by the army are similar to
The naval pilot's life raft is usually folded up and placed, which saves space and is light in weight. It is very convenient to carry. When it is used, it can be used as long as it is sufficiently inflated. Moreover, this rubber boat is composed of dozens of compartments.
, even if one or two parts are damaged, it will not completely sink.
