Another dense formation of Tu-2S bombers took the lead, carrying a sufficient number of 500kg aerial bombs under the wings and belly.
The Japanese army was not simply bombed. They did not engage in air defense at all. The ready-made anti-aircraft guns installed on the position fired.
Various 20, 25, and 37 mm anti-aircraft guns fired at once, and the barrage firepower was quite dense. The black smoke that exploded in mid-air was one after another, forming a continuous cloud.
Unfortunately, the firing of the anti-aircraft artillery only lasted for less than a moment. The Japanese anti-aircraft artillery, which had taken off its camouflage and exposed the position of the anti-aircraft position, was greeted by a roaring rain of blasting fire that split the sky.
"Artillery fire! Russian artillery fire! Take cover!"
The sergeant waving his command knife beside the gun emplacement shouted at the top of his lungs. The Japanese air defense soldiers who were sitting on the anti-aircraft gun mounts and firing guns also hurriedly lowered their guns to escape.
But the rain of fire that filled the sky finally took the lead and fell straight down.
Boom boom boom——
Rumble——
The Andlyusa rocket artillery battalion, which was specifically on standby to guard the exposed position of the Japanese artillery, opened fire.
All kinds of light and heavy weapons burst out with full firepower. The Japanese troops who went to deal with the Russian scouts not only failed to complete the task, but also committed themselves into it and never came back.
The movement was so loud that the chain explosions shook the earth, directly shaking the Japanese troops who were far away from the killing radius.
"Your Excellency, the division commander, is a Russian scout. The Russian scouts have been wandering around the periphery of our position."
The power of the 310mm rocket barrage coverage is not small, and the continuous explosion of domino-like ammunition is even more incredible.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the Japanese squadron took off and returned to their position, the Russian scouts who had just disappeared suddenly came back in a chariot that could pull people.
Holding on to the corner of the table, he was almost knocked over by the strong earthquake. Looking at the Red Army bombers above his head that had not yet entered the bombing range, they did not start bombing. The Lieutenant General's division commander did not know why, but he did not know that this was so strong that it was comparable to
Where did the big explosion like an air raid come from? I just had a bad feeling.
The rocket launcher itself is not a novel thing. The Japanese army has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running away. Of course, they also know that there is such a powerful type of long-range artillery.
Scolding is not a solution and cannot solve the problem.
The chief of staff, who was so angry that his scalp was numb, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet. He raised his hand and sent a squadron out in cars, equipped with wheeled machine gun armored vehicles, and went straight to the Russian scouts in an attempt to win with numbers. I didn't believe they could still fight this time.
but.
When I heard that my own anti-aircraft position had just opened fire, I planned to drive away the Russian bombers as far as possible from the bombing range to protect the ground position. However, within two seconds, they were blown up into this bird-like shape. I was furious.
The division commander who arrived almost went berserk on the spot.
It is connected to the forward scout troops in real time to receive coordinate information, and can stop and attack at any time without deploying. The Andlyusa rocket launcher with rapid response capability only fires one salvo, and hundreds of 310mm heavy rockets fall all over the sky.
The entire Japanese air defense position was turned into a sea of fire, with constant explosions.
The Japanese squadron, which could not even catch up, had no choice but to watch the Russians pretend to be cool and run away.
"What's going on? Report the situation!"
To abandon the entire artillery position in order to expel a group of Russian scouts is really not worth the loss. Who knows what kind of terrifying counter-battery firepower the Russians will unleash.
If you can't control artillery, how about using mortars?
The horsepower is not as high as the Russian cars, and the wheeled off-road mobility is even more limited by the tracks.
The Japanese infantrymen who rode sidecars and troop trucks to drive away the leader's scouts were really unexpected. Those brave Russian scouts not only didn't run away when they saw them coming, but actually took the food that accompanied them.
A chariot capable of pulling people came up.
The randomly stacked anti-aircraft shells on the Japanese air defense positions became an accelerant for the explosion and catalyzed the chain reaction.
Of course he did things like expel and annihilate the scouts who came forward against the Russians, but whether he did it or not had no direct bearing on the final result.
"They occupied various commanding heights, such as slopes and hills, and used the long-range optical sighting equipment in their hands to monitor our positions at all times. They had a panoramic view of our every move, and they must have been able to feed it back in real time using radios. This led to
This is the situation now.”
With no peripheral positions to speak of, it was even more impossible for the Japanese army to let such a lone army stay outside the position for a long time. If the Russian army really came to kill or the artillery shells fell, they would not be able to escape, let alone be saved.
But then I thought about it, I couldn't bear the responsibility for the artillery position being exposed casually.
Just because you've done it doesn't mean it will be done well.
"Nani!? Scout? Didn't I order the scout to drive away the Russians? Why are they still there now? And they only told me now!"
Moreover, clearing away the threat of ground anti-aircraft fire for air support is the job and duty of the Kulbalov division that calls for air support.
"Baga! Why are the Russian artillery fire so accurate!? The anti-aircraft position is obviously deep, and even if it fires, it should not be observed so quickly and accurately by the Russians from such a long distance! What is going on!?"
If we send too few troops, we can't attack them, and we can't fire artillery.
The squadron leader was so angry that he could not catch the enemy or catch up with him. He violently drew his command knife and screamed into the air. He yelled that the Russian coward could do nothing but run away and did not dare to fight.
Not to mention that the Russian scouts form a squad as soon as they are dispatched, and even the scouts are equipped with cannons that can fire cannons on their shoulders, plus a squad of fully/semi-automatic rifles and a light machine gun.
"."
No way, if we can't catch the enemy, let's go back. At least we drove away the Russian scouts, which is barely a completion of the mission.
After learning of this situation, the Japanese Chief of Staff jumped in anger on the spot, and wanted to order the artillery to open fire to blast the Russians who were arrogant enough to conduct reconnaissance.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the situation is much more complicated than we expected."
I never thought that this time the Russian scouts would just run away. A whole squad of scouts saw a large group of Japanese troops approaching from a long way away. Without saying a word, they got into the chariot that could pull people and drove away.
Leaving a pile of dust and diesel exhaust for the Japanese troops to enjoy.
The machine gun, whose caliber was unknown, crackled and roared. Not only were the sidecars and motorcycles, including the men and their vehicles, beaten into parts on the spot, even the Japanese troops in the troop transport trucks that followed were wrapped in iron and stuffed with meat.
Freshly heated Japanese Teppanyaki.
No, although the Russian scouts were close, they happened to be stuck outside the range of their own mortars and wandered around the edge. This was obviously done deliberately.
The "tragic news" of his combat staff officer with a mournful expression was already following him with staggering steps.
The combat staff who came to announce the funeral stopped talking. The chief of staff, who knew he had to speak, did not refuse to evade, so he took a step forward and spoke in a deep voice.
Although the anti-aircraft artillery position is not a field artillery position in the strict sense, its importance is still not low and cannot be underestimated.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, this is bad! The Russians have used rockets and heavy artillery to cover our air defense positions! Now it is a sea of fire!"
The chief of staff felt really aggrieved and couldn't express his pain.
He returned to the small slope intact, continued to set up the long-range optical sighting instrument, turned on the on-board radio, and reported every move and all details of the Japanese position in real time.
If you send too few troops, you can't defeat them; if you send too many, they will just run away. You can't catch up even if you hurry or slow, and you don't dare to use artillery to bombard them.
After listening to the description of such a "wonderful process", Your Excellency, the division commander, his vision went dark and he fainted. He never expected that the inconspicuous Russian reconnaissance tank was so ungrateful.
At the same time, something more exciting has quietly arrived.
The 500-kilogram aerial bomb heading straight for the ground target has broken away from its pylon and is roaring ear-piercingly.
