Six hundred and ninetieth chapters peninsula counterattack
Axis merchant ships were bombed during the day, and Chinese aircraft and submarines replenished mines at night. The Axis powers lost more than thirty merchant ships in a few days, which shocked the top brass of the Axis powers. Such a large-scale deployment
Mines, and our own side cannot detect them, now 90% of our supplies transported by sea cannot reach their destinations. No country can afford such losses.
The Axis powers do not have super transport aircraft like the Behemoth 3, and the airship force is fully engaged in transporting the Tempest Ocean route. Even if some airships can be mobilized, it will be difficult to provide the needs of the 4.5 million troops, and it will also affect
The overall amount of supplies provided by the Boston Empire. The troops led by De Gaulle soon experienced a shortage of supplies, which made De Gaulle extremely angry. For this reason, he directly called the logistics department and cursed, but there was nothing he could do about it. Logistics supplies
If he couldn't keep up, he would have no choice but to slow down the pace of his attack.
What Gao Hong wanted was to make them short of supplies. The Chinese Air Force stationed on the South Road quickly stepped up its attacks. Bombers specifically attacked the logistics bases of the Axis forces, which made their supplies even more stretched. In this regard, the Axis Air Force also upgraded
In air combat, both sides engage in fierce exchanges of fire in various airspaces every day.
The Axis powers were short of supplies on the Istan Peninsula, and aircraft had to rely on airports on the Western Continent for fuel and ammunition replenishment. This undoubtedly increased the aircraft's sortie distance, reduced its attendance rate, and also greatly increased the pilot's combat intensity.
The aircraft of the Chinese Air Force are resupplied at the field airport on the front line. The combat distance is much smaller, and the time in the air is correspondingly extended. Coupled with the cooperation of a large number of anti-aircraft artillery and missiles on the ground, the casualties of the Axis Air Force
It began to grow continuously, and they gradually lost control of their own sky.
In addition to air strikes, Takahiro also mobilized all available artillery units to carry out crazy artillery bombardments on the Axis positions, and the Axis artillery also resolutely fought back. The Chinese Empire had artillery radar vehicles that could calculate ballistic trajectories.
This allowed their artillery fire to be more accurate, and the Chinese Empire's artillery was placed in solid fortifications, which put the Axis artillery at a considerable disadvantage.
The largest heavy artillery of the Axis Powers is the 203 mm caliber heavy artillery. This kind of artillery is quite powerful. When fighting the Allies, it has always been the trump card of the Axis Powers' artillery. However, they were unlucky when they encountered the artillery of the Chinese Empire.
Among the Burmese Bear 2 series self-propelled artillery of the Chinese Empire, there is a suppressive howitzer with a caliber of 240 mm. This artillery is not only more powerful and has better maneuverability, but also because the self-propelled artillery is equipped with an automatic loader.
The shooting speed is higher than that of the opponent.
With the help of artillery sighting radar, this kind of artillery, which comprehensively suppressed the opponent's performance in terms of performance, specifically destroyed various heavy artillery of the Axis artillery with a higher hit rate. In the end, the Axis powers had to hide all the heavy artillery.
So as not to be exhausted.
Without the threat of the opponent's heavy artillery, NATO artillery tilted a large number of artillery shells at the enemy's position without any scruples. The dense artillery shells fell one after another, causing huge losses to the opponent. At this time, de Gaulle realized that he had entered a trap.
, but regrets are over now. Facing the coastline densely covered with mines, De Gaulle knew very well that retreating now would be suicide, and he could only hold on to his position.
In order to replenish supplies for De Gaulle, the Axis Powers Group dispatched as many airships as possible to carry out supply missions across the strait without affecting the route from the New World to the Western Continent. At the same time, they were flying from various airlines throughout the Western Continent.
All civil aviation aircraft were forcibly requisitioned, but this time they were defeated. The Istan Peninsula was surrounded on three sides by Gao Deyu's middle battlefield, Gao Hong's south battlefield, and Cai Tingyuan's northern battlefield of the southern subcontinent. Chinese Air Force fighter jets from three directions
They often patrol this airspace and swarm airships and civilian aircraft whenever they see them.
Civilian aircraft are slow and are old models produced by the Chinese Empire, so they are naturally easy to shoot down. However, it is very easy to deal with airships as long as you have specialized weapons. In order to deal with airships, the fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force are equipped with white phosphorus bullets. These
Bullets will burn violently as soon as they come into contact with the air, and can quickly ignite the hydrogen in the airbags of the airship. In order to save costs, Boston's airships all use hydrogen, so a large number of airships are easily shot down and burned by such bullets.
The airship was bulky, slow, and very vulnerable to attack. Even using fighter jets to escort it was of no avail. However, Marshal de Gaulle's army accounted for more than 70% of the entire Nantes army, but it had to be saved. The Boston Air Force could only send out
A large number of fighter jets escorted the troops on the Istan Peninsula while enduring huge casualties. As a result, the Axis Air Force was even more at a disadvantage in the battle for air supremacy on the Istan Peninsula. Although the situation was excellent, Takahiro also
Unwilling to wait for de Gaulle's defeat, he decided to take action after doing enough preliminary work.
Late at night on May 21, on the long defense line between the two opposing sides on the Istan Peninsula, the Chinese Army and the Istanbul Army jointly operated and began to use small formations of infantry to launch penetration attacks against the Axis forces’ defense lines from various positions. The Chinese Army
The small formations of the Chinese army have been systematically trained for infiltration attacks, and their tactical thinking is very mature. However, the army of the Istan Empire was handed over hand by hand by the Chinese army, so it is naturally not a problem to cooperate with each other in combat.
Multiple penetration points caused the Axis Powers to be attacked to varying degrees in various positions across the entire line. The Axis Powers' army, which was not good at night fighting, suffered a big loss. In the dark, the frightened Axis Powers' troops had no idea what was coming.
No matter how many enemies they had killed, they could only defend their position tightly, blockade the dark space in front of the position with intensive firepower, and ask for help from their superiors. For a time, the entire Axis powers were in emergency, and Marshal de Gaulle had to let the reserve teams from all over the place rush to put out the fire, but he
He didn't notice that the reserve team in his hands was rapidly decreasing.
After nearly three hours of infiltration operations, Gao Hong secretly calculated the results and the reports from each unit. He felt that the opponent's reserve team had almost been dispatched. Just when the opponent's forces were completely contained, Gao Hong's
The real killing move begins.
Two heavily armored corps, with the cooperation of four light-armed corps and four mechanized corps, set out from Chankler and Aken, and with the support of four night-flying bomber wings of the Air Force, launched towards the opposite Axis positions.
The assault was launched. In the dark night, without air cover, the Axis forces could only use anti-aircraft guns to defend their skies in vain. However, on the ground, their anti-tank weapons were unable to fight against the heavily armored Grizzly 3 on the opposite side.
Cars confront each other.
The two forces of the NATO Allied Forces concentrated their superior forces, and with a large number of tanks as the guide, they quickly broke through the weak defense line of the Axis forces like a sharp knife cutting through butter. The tank troops in front opened the gap,
The armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery from behind immediately followed up, and the infantry desperately widened the gap to prevent the Axis side from having a chance to regain its position.
With the efforts of the NATO allies, the two gaps are getting wider and wider. The Axis forces, which have lost the support of their positions, can only retreat continuously. However, those M4 tanks that rush forward are not the anti-tank weapons of the NATO coalition at all.
Opponent. In the face of the various and large numbers of NATO anti-tank weapons, the once powerful Axis tanks were as fragile as tissue paper. After losing more than 600 tanks, the Axis forces finally stopped their counterattack.
They could only order the troops to retreat slowly, but at this time, more than 30,000 Axis soldiers were surrounded by NATO assault troops.
After daybreak, Marshal de Gaulle, who knew the situation, found that he had no reserve force in his hands. He immediately ordered the air force to intercept, and all the Chinese Air Force planes that had been prepared took off to support the offensive of the ground troops. The two sides fought in the air.
An encounter ensued.
For this battle, Gao Hong mobilized all the air force, while de Gaulle was improvising and naturally could not gather the air force aircraft scattered along the entire defense line. Therefore, in some areas, the Chinese army had a numerical advantage.
The Chinese Air Force is all affiliated with the National Defense Forces. At this time, they are still using Golden Eagle 4B fighter jets. However, among the other side's Axis forces, due to the tense domestic war situation in the Boston Empire, new aircraft have not continued to be transported to the Western Continent, so they only have three
One-third of the air force is equipped with F86 fighter jets, and as for the latest F104 fighter jet, there is not a single one.
The performance of the aircraft on both sides was comparable, but the Axis Air Force pilots had suffered too many losses in the previous series of battles, and they were replaced by young people who had just left aviation school.
The new Axis pilots could not compare with the experienced Chinese Air Force pilots in terms of air combat skills, so the air combat quickly became one-sided.
Relying on local advantages in terms of aircraft quantity and personnel quality, the Chinese Air Force's Golden Eagle 4B fighter jets flew up and down, shooting down Axis aircraft one after another. In addition, ground anti-aircraft artillery fire and missiles were closely coordinated around the battlefield.
Make the Chinese Air Force even more powerful.
After only half an hour, the Axis Air Force completely collapsed. After losing more than 400 aircraft, they had to flee in panic and handed over air supremacy to others. Although the Chinese Air Force also shot down more than 100 aircraft
However, because the Chinese Air Force's aircraft have ejection seats with good performance, most of the pilots survived, and the ground in the air combat area was its own control area, so there was not much loss of personnel.
The Axis pilots were not so lucky. Since the Boston Empire developed jet aircraft in such a short time, although they also developed the ejection seats necessary for jet aircraft, these new equipment were only equipped with the latest F104.
There is no such equipment for F86 fighter jets in the Western Continent. The pilots of the F86 fighter jets can only rely on the traditional method of climbing out of the cockpit and opening the parachute.
