On the eastern front, the Germans paused for two days in front of the fourth line of defense held by the Anjia Army. The 56th Motorized Corps, the SS "Skeleton" Division, and the 290th Infantry Division served as the arrowheads for the eastern front.
and the 3rd Motorized Division took turns to attack, but were met with stubborn resistance by the Anjia officers and soldiers who were defending in danger, making it difficult to make any progress.
The 46th Armored Corps arrived later and joined the battle group, preparing to attack to the south. First, after breaking through, it can bypass the frontal defense line and achieve a surprise victory. Second, it can move closer to the main cluster of Kleist in the southeast.
, you can retreat calmly when the battle situation is unfavorable.
However, the 46th Armored Corps, which was so famous that it used one corps to withstand the attacks of twenty Soviet divisions in the battle of the Yelnya Bulge in the Soviet-German War, was also defeated by the solid defense of the Anjia Army.
At the end of the day, the 10th Armored Division, the SS "Reich" Division, the SS "Grossdeutschland" Division, and the 268th Infantry Division all sent their main forces to the battle, but they still suffered successive defeats.
The Anjia Army defense force relies on a solid defense line, using a combination of fortresses, anti-tank trenches, permanent fortifications, anti-tank guns, heavy artillery and individual rocket launchers, recoilless rifles, anti-tank mines, etc., with three to five tanks.
As a strategic maneuver, the regiment quickly assembled and launched a thunderous counterattack in response to the flaws in the German attack. After destroying the opponent, it immediately withdrew, making the German army unable to catch up suffer misery.
In the continuous air battles over the past few days, the Luftwaffe's fighters and bombers have never gained an advantage. On the contrary, after frequently losing troops and losing generals, the Anjiajun Air Force's bombers have been dispatched more and more frequently, which has made the originally high-spirited Eastern Front Commander Huo Huo
The general felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and wanted to retreat.
In the southeast one hundred kilometers away from the eastern battlefield, the German Southeast Group was originally unstoppable. It crossed the Selsa River one day earlier than the Huote Combat Group. However, it successively captured Baiji, Tikrit and other towns.
, when they successfully advanced the front to the west bank of Samarra, the gateway to the northwest of Baghdad, they encountered a tenacious blockade by the Anjia Army relying on permanent fortifications. The troops of the five armies were squeezed on the 100-kilometer front from Samarra to Baiji.
The same scene also appeared on the defense line on the north shore of Lake Gadisiya. Due to the flexible defense adopted by the Anjia army, making full use of the combination of tanks and air force, and with the assistance of inland gunboats, the Paulus cluster approaching the lake shore was highlighted several times.
The troops in his army were eaten up, which made the mature and prudent Paulus become cautious. He first built a defensive fortification, and then he attacked steadily, step by step, and slowly advanced forward. The entire attack rhythm quickly slowed down.
By this time, the various units of the Anjia Army were basically assembled in place, and the time was finally ripe for a counterattack.
...
As the importance of air supremacy became apparent, almost all decisive battles at strategic levels were carried out after continuous air strikes. This was the case with the German Manstein plan to attack France, as was the Barbarossa plan with which the German army attacked the Soviet Union. The Anjia Army recovered
The Northeast War is still like this, and this time there will obviously be no exception.
At six o'clock in the morning on December 21, it was just dawn. The command center of the Anjia Army's West Asia Theater Command in the suburbs of Baghdad was busy. Following the order from the commander, General Yin Jinan, a large-scale air counterattack was officially launched.
Various combat aircraft groups that had already completed pre-takeoff debugging and preparations took off from more than 80 airports in the areas controlled by the Anjia Army. After completing their assembly in the air, they flew towards their respective predetermined targets.
At this time, in the entire West Asia region, more than ten airship radars at an altitude of 10,000 meters began to conduct full-band electronic jamming of the German army's radio communications and radars. All the electronic screens of the German army connected to radar stations and radar vehicles all turned into
A dense patch of snowflakes.
Depending on the target, the size of each combat aircraft fleet is also different. To deal with core cities with multiple airports, the size of the aircraft fleet is much larger than that of ordinary aircraft fleets. Colonel Ye Jian, captain of the 26th Flying Group of the 7th Air Division, personally led
The attack fleet is the largest one. The fleet consists of forty-five A29 fighter jets and forty
Composed of five B3 medium bombers and thirty B4 medium bombers, one hundred and twenty aircraft took off one after another from the second military airport in the Kirkuk area. It took another quarter of an hour to form a formation, and then quickly rose to more than 6,000 meters.
At a high altitude, under the guidance of the S4 reconnaissance plane, it flew towards Diyarbakır, the German military town in southeastern Turkey.
After an hour and twenty minutes of flight, fifteen A29 fighter jets commanded by Major Lai Yang, the leader of the second squadron, flying in front of the fleet, decisively entered the city of Diyarbakır, where at least twenty anti-aircraft artillery batteries were deployed.
A series of silver-gray fighter planes with flying fox icons, unafraid of the flames constantly shooting out from under the wings, flew over a thousand meters
In the air, at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour, it rushed towards the largest and most complete military airport in the northwest of the city. It flew faster and faster, and the altitude became lower and lower. By the time the planes and hangars on the ground were clearly visible,
When it was visible, the speed had exceeded 600 kilometers, and the number on the altimeter was less than 200 meters.
The Germans have already deployed a large number of radar stations near the border, and also deployed some radar vehicles, which are fully equipped with early warning functions. However, due to electronic interference, the radar cannot work properly. An observation point near the border noticed strange things in the sky.
The German scouts in this situation were suffering from the fact that the phone lines were destroyed by the Anjia Army's invading troops. The radio was unable to communicate and could only watch the time passing by.
As the air defense siren sounded in the city, the German pilots woke up from a dream and rushed to their fighter planes. However, it was obviously too late. Except for a few German fighter planes that successfully took off, more fighter planes were on the tarmac.
It was a mess, and the fighters in the hangar were unable to fly to the open area as quickly as possible due to the restrictions of the hangar door.
"Da da da——"
When flying over the airport apron, Major Lai Yang pressed the shooting button immediately. The six 12.7mm caliber aviation machine guns built into the wings of the A29 fighter jet, together with the four 25mm cannons on the outer wing section, roared with fierce bullets.
Like dark red fire whips, it whipped hard at the German fighter planes whose pilots were preparing to board the cabin or who had just started the propellers.
There are many types of aircraft on the tarmac, including the Air Combat Eagle BF109 fighter that the German Air Force is proud of, the Mosquito AR 240 night fighter that has just completed its night reconnaissance and harassment mission, and the replicas of Nanhua A25, A26, and A27.
bf111,bf
112, BF113 three fighter jets, as for the bombers, none was missing. On the one hand, the German bombers suffered heavy losses during this period, and on the other hand, because it was still early, what air defense needed most were fighter jets. When bombers were needed for missions
It's not too late to drive out of the hangar.
The three types of fighter jets, bf111, bf112, and bf113, needed to continue suppressing the British Isles, were originally the standard fighter aircraft of the Anjia Army Air Force. The Anjia Army pilots knew very well that Hitler did not want to use them, but the current situation on the Eastern Front was very serious.
It was not optimistic. Frontline officers and soldiers were in urgent need of high-performance fighter planes, so Hitler had no choice but to grit his teeth and transfer more than 20 fighter squadrons from the Western Front to the Eastern Front, hoping to reverse the disadvantage and regain valuable air supremacy.
The other A29 fighter jets following Lai Yang opened fire one after another. After a dense rain of bullets, the German fighter jets that exploded and caught fire directly on the tarmac were less than one-third of those hit by bullets, but the rest were not much better.
Some wings were directly punched with rows of holes, some tails were simply blown off, and some cockpits were in terrible shape, or some had their landing gear broken and collapsed on the tarmac.
As the fuel in the smashed fuel tank spread everywhere, flames suddenly jumped up. The German pilots who could not escape were all ignited and screamed miserably. Then the fighter planes were riddled with holes.
, there was a loud explosion, and the entire tarmac turned into a burning active volcano, constantly erupting flames outwards.
After another successful low-altitude strafing attack on another apron, Lai Yang quickly pulled up his fighter jet and saw dense shells sprayed from the anti-aircraft guns below, flying past both sides of the wings, and then two or three hundred rounds directly in front of the aircraft.
It exploded meters away, and the blazing flames were quite dazzling. The fierce airflow generated by the explosion caused the plane to violently bump.
Lai Yang calmed down and grasped the joystick with both hands, trying his best to resist the instinct of fear caused by the hail of bullets. The next few seconds seemed as long as centuries. When the explosion stung his eardrums, the cabin cover "
When it creaked, he had even prepared for the worst.
Just a moment later, those noisy voices suddenly moved away, and the surroundings returned to calm. Lai Yang suddenly looked back, and found that the ammunition fuse of the German anti-aircraft gun had no time to adjust with the rapid maneuvers of the Anjiajun fighter planes, and the explosion area only stayed at a thousand
At an altitude of less than 1 meter, all the A29 fighter jets of the squadron that completed the attack mission rushed through the death zone one after another without any danger. The remaining shell smoke on the fuselage was quickly blown away by the oncoming strong wind.
Without a trace.
"Well done, boys!" Lai Yang couldn't help but yelled into the headset.
A flurry of excited answers came one after another. Just when Lai Yang was thinking about turning around and launching another round of attacks, a reminder suddenly sounded in his ears: "Danger! Squadron leader, watch your left side!"
Lai Yang's heart tightened, and he didn't have time to turn his head. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a blue-green fighter plane rushing toward him at high speed. He almost subconsciously commanded his hands and feet to link up, and the car suddenly swerved to the right.
Just when this action was taking effect, a dense stream of machine gun and machine gun bullets, mixed with tracer bullets, hit him.
While resisting the huge pressure on his body caused by the rapid turn, Lai Yang turned his head and looked to the left. He was shocked to see a dense rain of bullets almost grazing the wingtips of the aircraft. It was less than one meter away from him.
The wing of the fighter plane will be severely damaged!
"Damn, I almost capsized in the gutter!"
Lai Yang's heart was pounding. Faced with the threat of death, it was impossible not to be afraid. The only difference between a brave man and a coward was how to face it. While scolding, Lai Yang quickly adjusted, four consecutive right
With a rolling movement and a sudden left roll, he finally got rid of the attack of the pursuer and quickly increased his speed to 680 kilometers.
He flipped to the rear of the enemy plane at high speed. Only then did he see clearly that the aircraft that almost killed him was actually the same type of fighter plane as the A27 fighter he had flown before. The Germans introduced a complete production line and modified and modified it according to the characteristics of the Germans.
After upgrading, it became the current BF113 "Hurricane" fighter in the Luftwaffe series.
Lai Yang knows very well that the A27 is a high-altitude fighter. The maximum speed at a low altitude of one thousand meters is only 495 kilometers per hour, but it can reach a maximum speed of 627 kilometers per hour at an altitude of seven or eight thousand meters. The current altitude of his fighter is about three meters
More than 1,000 meters, despite the technical transformation, the opponent's maximum speed should not exceed 600 kilometers, which means that our A29 still has the advantage in speed.
The a27 fighter is characterized by its slim body, which is made of a special hybrid structure of plywood, wood and alloy. Compared with the a29 fighter, it has certain advantages in maneuverability and flexibility, which is very conducive to close combat. When the original
When the pursuer became the prey, the German pilot began to twist his body dexterously, continuously rolling and sideways.
The flip of the action almost caused Lai Yang to lose track of his opponent. Fortunately, the A29 fighter jet was ahead in speed. In addition, Lai Yang, as an experienced pilot with more than 300 hours of flying experience, had already shot down six enemy planes before.
Technically, he was not afraid of his opponent at all, so he kept holding on to the bf113 in front of him, and gradually put the opponent into the sight.
When the distance was successfully reduced to less than 300 meters, Lai Yang immediately pulled the trigger. Six machine guns and four cannons suddenly opened fire at the same time. A dense rain of bullets immediately swept over the blue-green German aircraft from the center line.
Fighter, when he saw the transparent canopy of the opponent's fighter plane was shattered by bullets, Lai Yang knew that he had finally avenged the opponent's nearly shooting down just now.
With the death of the opponent's pilot, the BF113 "Hurricane" fighter jet stopped its tactical maneuvers like a spiritual snake, and flew levelly for a certain distance. The engine suddenly shot out bright yellow flames like a ignited oil tank.
But this flame is fleeting, and then a large group of
Large clouds of black smoke poured out crazily from every breach from the nose to the tail of the plane. Amidst the shrill whimpers, the German fighter jets dragged long black smoke, like a wild goose frightened to death by a bowstring.
It fell towards the ground with one end, and when it hit the ground, it exploded violently, and the flames shot out dozens of meters high.
With rumbles and smoke, the German anti-aircraft guns slowly rose to an altitude of about two thousand meters, following the flight path of the Anjiajun fighter group.
The three fighter squadrons of the 26th Flying Group attacked three military airports located in the north, northwest and west of the city respectively. They seemed to have overturned a hornet's nest and attracted intensive artillery attacks.
The German anti-aircraft gunners completely ignored the safety of their own fighter jets in the melee and desperately projected 88mm, 105mm, and 128mm caliber anti-aircraft shells into the air. Amidst the boiling sound of gunfire, the Chinese and German fighter jets chasing each other were like
It was buzzing like mosquitoes from near and far away, but if you look closely, you will find that the attackers chasing behind are mostly Anjiajun fighter jets with silver-gray paint and the Flying Fox logo on the fuselage.
When the fighter jets came forward and fully attracted the attention of the German artillery fire and fighter jets, more than seventy B3 and B4 bombers had automatically divided into three groups and flew over the three already riddled military airports, round and black.
Huge bombs screamed and fell densely towards the German airport facilities.
Since all bombers of the Anjia Army Air Force are equipped with advanced radar sights, and the onboard small computer can calculate the bombing target in advance, theoretically, the bomb can be dropped at an altitude of 6,000 meters to a range strike
Within a target radius of ten meters, but due to
Due to various reasons such as wind speed, air flow and surface topography, the actual error rate at this height is fifty meters or more. However, if the height drops to two thousand meters, the actual accuracy can be controlled to about thirty meters.
For cluster bombing, it can be considered a very ideal effect.
The German anti-aircraft artillery on the ground continued to fire into the air. Under the action of timed fuses, anti-aircraft artillery shells of various calibers continued to explode at various heights in the air. When attacking the airport in the southwest, a B3 bomber was hit by an 88mm cannon.
The exploding shrapnel hit, and thick smoke billowed out from the engine, so we had to return in a hurry, while the other bombers continued to throw out the bombs in their magazines.
Dozens of tons of high-explosive bombs, like fish laying eggs in the water, all landed on the German airport. In the violent explosion like a landslide, the straight and wide concrete runways, together with the surrounding hangars and anti-aircraft gun positions, were
Everything was enveloped in a huge ball of flames and billowing black smoke.
In the continuous bombing, various metals, stones, soil, wood, or simply bloody human body fragments flew around one after another, rising into the sky, and slowly forming straight lines.
The column-shaped smoke cloud in the sky provides the most eye-catching navigation mark for Anjiajun's follow-up strike fleet.
Compared with places far away from the border, only A29 fighter jets and B3 and B4 bombers with a larger combat radius can be dispatched. However, the German field airport not far from the border has all kinds of aircraft models dispatched.
, the situation is even worse.
At military airports in Qamishra, Hasakah, Mayadin, Deir ez-Zor and other places, fighter jets almost covered the sky, covering B1 and B2 bombers, as well as Q1, Q2, Q3 attack aircraft, flying gracefully.
to.
The most popular among them is still the B2, which is copied from the Stuka J87 bomber. The silver-gray fighter planes that symbolize the arrival of death, with their unique screams, almost constantly stimulate the eardrums and irritation of the German soldiers.
Nervous, the German officers and soldiers looked at the sky in astonishment. They never expected that the bombers that their own troops used to ravage others would now bring them unbearable nightmares.
Three B2 bombers in a team braved the intensive German anti-aircraft fire, swooped down from an altitude of several thousand meters, and dropped bombs accurately to the target in a nearly vertical posture. Of course, it was inevitable.
Some B2 dive bombers on the ground were killed before they could drop their bombs.
The enemy's artillery fire was like a burning meteorite falling from the sky. It fell straight to the ground without any change, and instantly transformed into various scattered fragments. However, more B2 bombers still dived down without hesitation.
Continue to carry out the unfinished tasks of Pao Ze.
Amidst the earth-shattering explosions, one after another German military airports suffered disaster. Although many of the anti-aircraft gun positions deployed near the airport were hidden in specialized reinforced concrete fortifications, they were hit by 250 kilograms or even 500 kilograms falling from a large angle.
The bombardment of kilogram bombs, in
Within ten meters of the explosion point, the violent physical and chemical reactions produced by the explosive explosion will cause extremely fatal damage to the precise optical instruments of the anti-aircraft gun. As for the fragile human body, not to mention, once the smoke dissipates, these
Each anti-aircraft gun bunker was filled with German anti-aircraft soldiers who were stunned and killed by the shock.
There were also some falling aerial bombs that directly detonated the ammunition boxes piled up on the anti-aircraft positions for use. The violent explosions quickly destroyed the nearby anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and blew up the hurried German anti-aircraft soldiers to pieces.
Broken limbs were scattered everywhere.
At various German airfields locked by high-altitude airship radars, German air defense soldiers endured the screams and roars of Anjiajun dive bombers and the dense rockets fired by A28 fighter jets and various types of attack aircraft. They wore steel helmets and pushed away.
The corpses of his comrades struggled to fill the cannon barrels one by one, and the pungent and thick gunpowder smoke forced them into the gun barrel.
Some of them wore gas masks, but the barrages quickly attracted the attention of the Anjia Army bombers that had completely occupied the blue sky. They dropped countless high-altitude missiles on these air defense positions from an altitude of several hundred meters.
After the continuous and violent explosions of explosive bombs, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns fell silent.
After more than an hour of continuous strikes, each airport turned into a raging hell on earth. Fighters, bombers and attack aircraft of the Anjia Army calmly turned over the airport and proudly rose from the top of those huge smoke columns.
The location flew over, and in the high altitude, reconnaissance aircraft and early warning aircraft were constantly taking pictures. It will not be long before all the photos will be placed on the desk of the Air Force Command Headquarters, and the staff will check them one by one. If they find valuable targets that have not been destroyed, they will
Bombers were sent to strike again.
At this moment, the German anti-aircraft guns on the ground were still shouting helplessly, but as there were fewer and fewer targets worthy of hitting, and the fleet of aircraft was becoming more and more concentrated, the explosions of artillery shells heard in the sky were not as good as those of guns of various horsepower.
The aircraft engine roared loudly.
This round of strikes was too sudden. Most of the German aircraft were wiped out at the airport before they could take off. However, the German fighter jets stationed in North Africa, central and western Turkey, because the combat radius was too short, hurriedly rushed to the battlefield and retreated.
, after a fierce battle with Anjiajun's fighter jets, he had to return in embarrassment. When he returned, he had to consider whether he could return to the airport before the fuel ran out.
The huge Anjiajun fighter fleet, now with the complete annihilation of the German Air Force in the Middle East, has completely suppressed the German army, whether it is fighter jets or bombers.
Only an hour later, the fire and gunpowder smoke at various German military airports had not dissipated. The huge Anjia military aircraft fleet appeared over each airport again. The second wave of strike fleets had arrived, targeting the fish that had slipped through the airport and those scattered around the airports.
All targets in cities and strategic locations, such as military camps, warehouses, headquarters and other targets, were attacked openly and openly. The entire sky has now completely become a world dominated by Anjia Army fighter planes.
If you stand on the land of the Middle East at this time and look around, every wave of strike groups by the Anjia Army Air Force will dispatch two thousand to three thousand fighter jets and bombers. These aircraft swarm in groups, like a scourge, and attack unstoppably.
Attacks continued to hit the cities and airports that had been severely damaged by the Germans.
The extremely small number of German fighter pilots who were ordered to come from a distance for reinforcements, as well as the anti-aircraft artillery commanders and gunners on the ground, all had a look of frightened despair in their eyes, and their whole bodies were as cold as if they were immersed in ice water.
The absolute air supremacy that the Germans have maintained in Europe since 1938 has now disappeared with the loss of thousands of fighter planes. It is unknown what tragic fate awaits the German nation next.
