The town of Muzi is located on the south bank of the Euphrates River, more than 20 kilometers away from the border. A train stopped in the east wilderness two or three kilometers away from the town amid the shrill sound of air defense sirens. Then the officers and soldiers quickly covered the train with
The camouflage net with three-dimensional effect blends perfectly with the surrounding scenery.
About a platoon of railway soldiers spread a similar camouflage net on the long railway track and quickly entered the air defense bunkers built every 250 meters on both sides of the railway.
Looking down from the air, heading east from Muz Town, the railway suddenly disappears. Unless the fighter planes in the sky lower to a height of more than ten meters, the specially designed camouflage net can be distinguished from the surrounding environment. But in this way
The height is too low for the pilot. If he is not careful, he will hit the ground and crash.
Muzi Town is a city that thrives on railways and water transportation. It has a history of thousands of years. The town covers an area of about three square kilometers. It is naturally impossible for such a large area to disappear from the ground like magic.
In order to protect this town, the military region has deployed two air defense battalions in the town of Muzi, one is an anti-aircraft battalion equipped with I-type 75mm anti-aircraft guns, and the other is an anti-aircraft battalion equipped with anti-aircraft tanks.
"Woo-"
The densely packed bombers of the German Air Force flew over the town of Mutz in just a few minutes after crossing the border and began to search for targets to drop bombs.
German planes discovered the train station in the town almost immediately and locked it immediately. You must know that railways and transportation lines, military camps, airports, gas stations, etc. are all priority targets for the air force.
The ground anti-aircraft guns started firing, and black smoke continued to explode in the air. Colonel Wedel, the commander of the German Air Force, who was driving a JU188D-2 reconnaissance plane, wrinkled when he saw a JU87 bomber next to him being hit by artillery fire and turned into a ball of fire.
Frowning, he said to the throat wheat:
"The 211th, 212th, 213th, and 214th Bomb Squadrons, you are responsible for cleaning this town and destroying their air defense system to facilitate the passage of follow-up aircraft groups. This train station cannot be left alone. Only by destroying the railway can they prevent them from transporting food and ammunition to the front line. Stat,
You take charge, and I will lead the other fighters to move forward!"
"Yes, sir!"
Captain Start, the leader of the 211th Bomb Squadron, responded and immediately began to assign tasks to each squadron.
Soon, the formation of the German aircraft fleet began to change. The originally well-organized aircraft fleet suddenly pulled down more than 60 bombers and intercepted the firepower of the Anjia Army's 75mm anti-aircraft guns deployed on the ground throughout the town.
With a shrill scream, it dived straight towards the train station below with a swooping attack posture at an angle of 45 degrees.
On the road inside the station, a "Lightning I" anti-aircraft gun truck was constantly moving. Major Guan Ce, the commander of the air defense battalion, was sitting in the commander's position, holding a microphone in his hand, and shouted loudly:
"Each vehicle maintains high-speed maneuvers to evade! The gunners use all their strength to intercept fire!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the twin 30mm cannons on the upper part of the hemispherical turret began to fire continuously into the air. Amidst the sound of "bang bang bang bang", the cannons fired at a rate of 500 rounds per minute.
The first fourteen JU87s of the German bomber group were bombarded. In addition to two being blown up by the 75mm anti-aircraft guns deployed by the anti-aircraft artillery battalion at the forts around the town, two more were immediately destroyed by the anti-aircraft artillery trucks of the anti-aircraft battalion.
The dense rain of bullets hit them and exploded into a ball of fire in the air. Three more planes emitted black smoke and fell to the ground.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
As a huge explosion sounded, three pillars of mud fire, tens of meters high, soared into the sky from the wilderness two to three hundred meters away from the train station.
Unfortunately, although the two battalions worked together to shoot down seven German bombers in one fell swoop, the number of bombers used by the German fighter planes in this round of low-altitude bombing was actually fourteen. The remaining seven lucky ones got through the barrage and were lowered to the point where they could drop bombs accurately.
Without any hesitation, the bomb magazine was continuously opened and closed, and the aerial bombs it carried were thrown towards the target below.
"Pay attention to avoidance and evade at full speed!"
Guan Ce looked through the vehicle observer and saw the strings of black dots falling rapidly, and he couldn't help but shouted anxiously into the intercom.
"Boom boom——"
The noise caused by the coverage bombing of seven JU87 Stuka dive bombers, each carrying 1.8 tons of aerial bombs, was far beyond ordinary people's imagination. The pillars of fire and mud rising into the sky were filled with smoke, and the visibility changed rapidly.
To the point where it is impossible to see visually.
The twenty-four "Lightning" I-type anti-aircraft artillery vehicles that could have made evasive maneuvers by observing the impact trajectory of bombs in the sky immediately began to suffer misfortune. The external armor of five of them was scratched by a large number of stray shrapnel. Fortunately, they were still able to make evasive maneuvers.
Able to continue moving, an unlucky "Lightning I" anti-aircraft gun truck was directly hit by a 100-kilogram-class aerial bomb on the turret. The top of the tower with an armor thickness of only 20 mm was useless. The strong explosion directly destroyed the vehicle.
The self-propelled artillery vehicle exploded into a ball of fire.,
In just one round of bombing, the air defense battalion was immediately weakened. What was even worse was that, taking advantage of the sheltering effect caused by the first round of bombing, the second wave of German bombers performed dive bombing with relative ease. Their attack this time
They flew in a dive and were not intercepted by the anti-aircraft firepower of ground targets. They were only shot down four by 75mm anti-aircraft guns deployed throughout the town.
The remaining dozen JU87 Stuka bombers once again flew over the anti-aircraft artillery emplacement and the railway station. The bomb bays were continuously closed, and dense aerial bombs fell to the ground like fish laying eggs in the water.
At this time, the anti-aircraft artillery trucks deployed throughout the town finally couldn't hold on any longer and drove towards the nearby air-raid shelter at high speed. The gunners no longer bothered to shoot in the air and sat obediently in their seats, chanting "Bodhisattva bless you".
The driver went all out to quickly pass through the sloping passage and enter the air defense bunker.
After most of the tanks drove underground, the second wave of bombs from German bombers descended.
"Boom boom——"
"Boom boom boom——"
The sound of explosions spread throughout the town, and the silt, limestone, and fireballs that shot up into the sky continued to explode. Fierce shock waves surged everywhere, shrouding the small town in the early morning in flying sand and rocks.
In the thick smoke, the officers and soldiers of the anti-aircraft artillery battalions stationed in artillery forts around the town did not flinch and continued to use 75mm anti-aircraft guns to fire rapidly into the air under the guidance of radar.
The Anjia Army Group Army and its subordinate divisions' anti-aircraft artillery battalions are almost equipped with I-type 75mm anti-aircraft guns. This type of anti-aircraft guns is more advanced than the Japanese Type 4 75mm anti-aircraft guns. Due to its comprehensive leadership in alloy technology, the entire gun weighs only
5250 kilograms, 600 kilograms lighter than the same type of Japanese anti-aircraft gun. The projectile weight is 6.5 kilograms, the muzzle velocity is 885 meters per second, the air range is 18 kilometers, the pitch angle is from zero to 85 degrees, and the azimuth range is 360 degrees. It can be said that this is
The world's best-performing 75mm anti-aircraft gun, with world-class accuracy, range, power and response speed.
An anti-aircraft artillery battalion in the Anjia Army has four anti-aircraft artillery companies and one radar company. The four anti-aircraft artillery companies have a total of thirty-two 75mm anti-aircraft guns. The radar company has two tracking and guidance radars, which use ballistic computers to guide the gunners in the direction.
The anti-aircraft artillery battalion fired interception artillery high into the sky desperately, and would shoot down an enemy plane in almost two to three seconds. However, Captain Start, the leader of the 211th Bomb Squadron who accepted the order to "raze the town to the ground", was also good enough for himself.
Cruelly, almost ignoring the huge losses, there were two more waves of bombing. After all the bombs they carried were dropped, they were lifted up and away from the threat of anti-aircraft artillery at high speed.
Captain Start piloted a ju87 Stuka dive bomber to observe the situation after the continuous bombing of the town of Muzi from a distance. He saw thick smoke billowing inside and outside the town. However, since most residential buildings in West Asia are made of earth and stone, except for direct hits,
Except for the fire inside the house, there were not even a single spark, so the damage was not huge.
In this round of bombing, although the train station suffered successive attacks, the platform still stood strong. What was particularly intolerable was that since all the anti-aircraft guns of the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery battalion were placed in strong forts, this bombing
It almost did not cause any damage to the opponent, but the Anjia Army anti-aircraft artillery vehicles that had previously fired in the air came out of hiding again and drove at high speeds in the town in a showy manner, constantly shooting into the air, threatening to continue flying through the air.
The safety of the bomber fleet.
As the smoke cleared, apart from three anti-aircraft tanks parked and burning in various places inside and outside the town, all that could be seen were craters.
Captain Start was greatly frustrated. He ignored the danger of being hit by Chinese anti-aircraft guns as Firebirds and ordered the fleet to bomb from the air. All he expected was greater benefits in exchange for lower losses. This was great.
, the enemy's counter-fire continued, and the barrage continued to be sprayed into the air, posing a large number of threats to the passing bomber groups, and bombers crashed from time to time.
Just when Captain Start gave the order to return, a ridiculous thought suddenly arose in his mind - if the whole of West Asia was full of such hard-to-break bones, there would be no hope of winning this battle because there wouldn't be so many pilots and resources.
For such a squandering.
...
The general staff of Nanhua, Xinjing, and One-Pillar Temple.
Due to the existence of communication satellites, every battle report that is happening on the east and west fronts can be fed back to the command center as soon as possible.
Regarding the advantages gained by the Eastern Front, everything was expected, but the situation faced by the Western Front was also quite surprising.
Liu Qing explained with a smile on his face, looking at the map and holding a baton in his hand:
"... After the German aircraft fleet penetrated deep into our border, they encountered a tenacious blockade by our army's carefully deployed air defense positions in the towns along the way... These towns have been under construction for more than a year, and the anti-aircraft artillery emplacements are in full compliance with the requirements.
It is built as a standard to withstand direct hits from 1,000 kilogram-level aerial bombs. The built-in anti-aircraft gun is a 75mm anti-aircraft gun that is flexible and can be transferred at any time. This way, even if our border line is lost, the gun can be easily removed, leaving the Germans to be destroyed.
An empty fort!
"Our purpose is to consume a large number of German fighters before they enter our second air defense system. Our second air defense system is built fifty to one hundred kilometers behind the border. If we deploy it in the Far East,
It is already a ground-to-air strike force comparable to a mid-stream attack force, so what we have deployed on the western front is comparable to a sea-blocking dam. Enemy aircraft that can survive our attack have full hope of receiving our
Half a million lottery jackpot!
"You must know that on the second line of defense on the western front, we have deployed Houyi II air defense missiles with a maximum range of 100 kilometers, a maximum altitude of 25 kilometers, and a flying speed of Mach 2. Thirty battalions totaling 360
Ten sets of surface-to-air missile systems can launch 4,320 surface-to-air missiles at the same time. As long as three to four consecutive rounds of strikes are carried out, the sky on the entire Western Front will become clean and pure!
"If there are still fighter planes surviving, our returning fighters and attack planes taking off from the airport will be enough to meet the subsequent challenges. After this battle, the powerful German Air Force has become a historical term!"
After listening to the plan drawn up by the General Staff to lure the enemy in-depth and eliminate German fighter planes one by one, all the military and political officials present at the meeting showed expressions of relief.
An Yi stood up from the hosting position and said:
"After basically eliminating the threat from the air, our second artillery unit will use the latest F-3 Hot Wheels No. 3 missile to blow all the enemy's airports and military camps into rubble! In addition, our missiles are
The Baku oil fields and Batumi Port within the attack range will also be the key targets of the F-3. We will let the Germans watch the oil fields unable to be exploited. Even if they are exploited by luck, they will not be able to be transported back to Germany!
"After resisting the most ferocious wave of the Germans, the next step will be the stage for our performance. I believe that our front-line officers and soldiers can withstand the test and give us a satisfactory answer! Now everyone understands that we have continued to increase our performance in recent years.
Is this the reason why I invest heavily in scientific research and spend huge sums of money to produce and reserve missiles? Although some people don't say it to me in person, they say in private that I am not doing my job properly and that I am wasting the country's wealth in order to clear my woman's name...
"Yes, over the years, I have acted arbitrarily and allocated a large amount of funds to the research institute, allowing Ding Molan and the scientific research team led by her to focus on researching satellites and missiles, from ship-to-ship, ground-to-air, ground-to-ground, air-to-air, air-to-air to air-to-ship missiles.
In terms of research, projects have even begun to develop portable missiles. The funds invested in research and development each year account for almost a quarter of the total military investment, and a quarter of the funds are used to produce this allegedly inexplicable weaponry.
"Many people think that with so much money, it is better to produce more aircraft, tanks and artillery. There is no need to mess around. I think the scene that is about to happen will prove how ridiculous those views are. The progress of science and technology has led to continuous changes in the way of war.
, although the final result of the war still depends on the army to capture it, it is undeniable that new weapons and new tactics will effectively change the course of the war!
"The Type I and Type II surface-to-air missile systems we have developed, as well as the F-3 medium-range missile, are already at the forefront of this era. From now on, our opponents will no longer pose a direct threat to us.
The initiative will be firmly in our hands! Please wait and see."
