Although Zhang Yunhan is in Jincheng, he attaches great importance to the war in the Western Regions. This is his first large-scale contact with foreign enemies. In order to go all out, Zhang Yunhan even began to assemble the 1st Army. As the absolute elite in Zhang Yunhan's hands, the First Army There is absolutely no doubt about its combat effectiveness.
"Order Pang Zhanfeng to expand the field airport and transfer the 5th Air Force Division there."
Zhang Yunhan looked at the afternoon battle report of the 3rd Air Division and felt very depressed.
For the technology of 1941, Zhang Yunhan drew a circle with a red pen in the two regions of Tibet and Chahar.
…
back to afternoon
Woohoo~
At the field airport, 93 P26 fighter jets quickly raised their heads and dived into the clouds, forming a formation in the sky.
Followed closely by 33 B9 bombers that took off.
Nowadays, all fighter jets in various countries are biplanes, but Zhang Yunhan, who is familiar with future development, still equips his own air force with monoplanes in order to meet the needs of future air combat. However, the performance of the P26 is indeed not outstanding, and even a bit mediocre.
After all, this is just a fighter jet from the 1930s, and it is far less powerful than it was at the beginning of World War II.
Watching the dark cluster rising into the sky, Pang Zhanfeng still felt very uneasy. Although the number of clusters is large, there is no advantage. The only advantage may be the institute's rapidly developing radar and wireless phones.
…
Lieutenant General Afnin was sitting in a gas truck, looking at the scene of troops marching back by the roadside with a serious expression. According to the news about the deserters of the 181st Division, the Second Army of the Northwest Army did not look like anything at all. The National Congress Party's fruit army is well-equipped and well-trained.
If not, how could the 181st Division be wiped out in two or three hours? Even Major General Petrov was captured.
Now the entire 18th Infantry Army was laughed at by other troops, and Petrov's family was imprisoned overnight.
Even Blyucher was held accountable. If this matter hadn't really had much to do with him, I'm afraid Blyucher wouldn't be able to command troops in the Far East now.
Although Afnin did not want to march, the military district added an infantry division and a tank regiment to join the 18th Infantry Corps, and they could not refuse. After all, disobeying your boss's orders may lead to you being shot.
Because it was a hasty attack, the ammunition of the troops was good and the gap was not big, but the fuel was very scarce. After all, there were no battles in such a far away place. The fuel was basically supplied to the Far East Military Region. Now it can only reach half of the normal combat requirements. , which made Afnin Mao furious. He kept reporting to his superiors but only got orders to attack.
Fortunately, the Air Force replied that the enemy plane had been shot away. It seemed that he was safe for the time being.
According to the staff's information, the enemy's reconnaissance planes have been repulsed three times. At least the air is still safe.
The 18th Infantry Army has only one flying regiment for air support. In fact, there are less than 20 combat aircraft, which were hastily transferred from the Far East.
Why is this?
Russia's defense focus is Europe, and the Far East is only defending against Japan. In the Siberian region, there are not many defense forces at all. Fighters and tanks are given priority in equipping these two places. It is already very good that the 18th Infantry Army can cobble together a tank regiment.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at the predetermined area, Afnin was still very uneasy and asked the air force to come to escort him. He really did not dare to take it lightly. This was 50,000 people, the backbone of the Siberian region. There must be no problems, and he did not seek merit but Seek no fault. It's always good to be careful.
After continuing to march for about 10 minutes, the 18th Infantry Corps began to stop and rest.
"Commander!!"
"Mereseyev of the 37th Flying Regiment said that they came from the Far East early this morning and didn't get much rest all day. Now they are short of people and aircraft, and the fighter jets have not been repaired much, so they only sent 6 fighter jets to escort them."
"asshole!"
Although Afnin was angry, there was nothing he could do. They came all the way to support the battle and came to escort them without even taking a break. No wonder they were unhappy. If it were him, he would have lost his temper.
Avnin's fleshy forehead said with a headache: "Let the comrades of the flight regiment search the surroundings and guard the surroundings."
"yes!"
However, Afnin, who had just given the order, heard the low roar of the engine. The sound was very noisy, and it was not at all the size of several airplanes!
"It's over! Hurry! The troops are dispersed and hidden! The air defense battalion is ready for combat, and the artillery is hidden!"
I saw a large swath of fighter jets suddenly emerge from the clouds, flying past covering up the sky and the sun! !
Four of the IL-15s were shot down in one encounter, and the remaining two flapped their wings and fled northward in a hurry.
Yi Ping, commander of the 3rd Air Division, quickly issued an order: "The 1st Regiment will be on alert all around, the 2nd Regiment will drive away enemy planes, and the 3rd Regiment and 4th Regiment will carry out bombing missions!"
“Don’t throw it too densely!!”
Yapnievsky, a pilot of the 37th Flying Regiment of the Russian Red Army, is one of the most outstanding pilots from the Russian Air Force Academy this year. He graduated with honors and was assigned to the Far East Military District.
Originally, he was still scolding Avnin on the plane for his order to escort the ground troops. Does China have an air force? Even if there is one, it is just a very backward wooden aircraft. Or there are not many real pilots at all.
He believed that the great Russian Red Army would definitely beat up the Chinese Air Force.
When he saw the first enemy plane emerging from the clouds, he shouted excitedly: "Hahaha! Chinese plane! Let us teach these young Chinese guys who have just learned to fly a plane a lesson!" !”
"Long live the Russian Air Force! Long live the bearded man!! Ula!!"
But when he saw the clouds emerging from the clouds, his first reaction was: Sorry! I admit that my tone just now was a bit loud...
After four of his teammates were shot down in the first wave of confrontation, Yapnievsky directly controlled the plane and ran away without looking back.
stay? What's the difference between that and a fool sending himself to death?
Damn it, Yapnievsky couldn’t believe his eyes! The Chinese Air Force has an extremely strong lineup. A total of one aviation division was dispatched, right?
Moreover, the enemy planes were no rookies. They shot down 4 of our planes from the very beginning. The 4-0 record was a huge slap in Yapiniewski’s face. .
The excited 3rd and 4th regiments aimed at the hidden artillery, tanks, and military vehicles that were too late to retreat and dropped bombs on the dense crowd. Military vehicles were blown up one after another, and the tanks were blown off their turrets.
Subsequently, the 1st and 2nd Flying Regiments also joined the ground attack. It was not until all the bombs were thrown and the bullets were fired that the 3rd Air Division flew southward in frustration.
