Chapter 284: Air Strike (1900 votes plus update)

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time our mission is to strike at the 9th Army of the Russian Army that has escaped from Sedelce. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Although, this is only a ground strike mission. However, I hope that every pilot will be able to pay attention to it. This is the first operational order given to us by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since the establishment of the 8th Air Force, and I hope that we will be able to successfully complete this mission. "Brigadier General Corey, personally give the pilots a combat briefing.

All the pilots have a serious face. Still, from his face, you could see their excitement and excitement. Everyone has been looking forward to this combat operation for a long time.

"The Russians were defeated in the Kingdom of Poland by us. Its 2nd Guards Army has already been eaten by us. However, the 9th Army of the Russian army wanted to escape. Whether we can eat this Russian army as well is up to you. His Royal Highness, however, has high hopes for us. Therefore, I hope that you will do your best to repay His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's support. Brigadier General Corey said.

"Yes, General." All the pilots replied.

"Very well, let's go down and get ready. Then execute the order immediately! Brigadier General Corey nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, General." The pilots dispersed in a hurry.

Inside the hangar, ground crews are refueling the aircraft, refueling bombs and aviation machine gun bullets in preparation for take-off operations. Some of the planes that were already ready were pushed onto the runway and were able to take off after the order to take off was given.

Soon, Brigadier General Corey gave the order to take off.

The first to take off was the 81st Fighter Group. The entire brigade, minus 4 F2 fighters from the 36 spare aircraft, all took off. Under the wings of these F2 fighters, aerial bombs weighing up to 25 kg are hung for ground strike missions. Of course, the biggest threat to the troops on the ground from these fighters was not the bombs, but the 12.7 mm aviation machine gun in the nose. Compared to the two bombs under the wings, the reserve ammunition of the aviation machine gun was up to several hundred rounds. This is enough to make these fighters wreak havoc on the battlefield.

The power of the 12.7 mm aviation machine gun was already great. If it hits the human body, I am afraid that the fragile human body will be broken in two on the spot. One can imagine what the consequences will be if these fighters launch an attack on the fleeing Russian 9th Army.

Immediately after the takeoff of the 81st Fighter Group, the 82nd Bomber Group took off. Thirty-six H1' bombers, like a roc with wings spread, rushed into the sky and flew towards the southern sky, driven by the strong power of the engine.

The rest of the 83rd Fighter Group, the 84th Bomber Group, the 85th Fighter Group, and the 86th Bomber Group will all take off one after another in the next two hours to ensure the continuity of the strikes against the Russian 9th Army.

At this moment, the 9th Army of the Russian army did not realize that the threat had come. They are retreating from Shedelce.

"General, now the entire army group has retreated. However, the Germans did not continue to hold on to Shedelce, but pursued them directly. Shall we attack them and eat this German army? When it comes to defense, they can rely on strong firepower to withstand us. However, when it comes to attacking, it doesn't have to be. A lieutenant general suggested.

Admiral Letzsky shook his head: "The Germans are not easy to mess with, even this army of only a few tens of thousands. If we turn around and attack them, we may not be able to defeat and destroy them in a very short time. Let's not forget, the main forces of the German army must have begun to pursue us as well. If we can't resolve the battle quickly, we don't want to retreat once the main German forces catch up. When the time comes, the 2nd Guards Army will be our example. ”

"Yes, the general is quite right. Since you want to retreat, you must retreat quickly, and you can't change your mind casually. The lesson of the 2nd Guards Army, we have to guard against it! Another lieutenant general also said.

"Leave two infantry divisions behind to hold back the pursuing Germans. The other ministries should speed up their retreat. As long as we can withdraw from the Kingdom of Poland and join up with the Southwestern Front before the main German forces catch up, we will be safe. Admiral Letzsky ordered.

In his opinion, the pursuing Germans were only a few tens of thousands. The two infantry divisions of the Russian army are also more than 30,000 people. Of course, in combat effectiveness, it was no match for the Germans. However, if it is to be defended, it should also be able to withstand the German attack. No matter how bad it is, they can hold out for two or three days to buy enough time for their retreat.

"Yes, General." The generals replied one after another.

The 9th Army of the Russian Army, this time it fled in embarrassment. However, they can't care about that much. As long as the main force can be safely evacuated, this is a victory for them.

At 3 p.m., more than 100,000 Russian troops retreated south along several roads. The long queue spread far and wide along the highway, like a long snake wriggling forward.

In the northern sky, small black dots appeared. At the same time, there is a "buzzing" sound, like a bee flying.

Some Russian soldiers couldn't help but look up at the sky to see what was going on.

"What's that?" A Russian soldier exclaimed.

The other Russian soldiers also made a noise.

A Russian officer, looking at the northern sky with a telescope. Suddenly, his face changed drastically.

"Damn! Planes of the Germans. The planes of the Germans came. The Russian officer shouted in horror.

But those Russian soldiers were at a loss. The vast majority of them, before joining the army, were mere farmers. I can't read a single big character, and I don't have any culture. There are even fewer people who have seen airplanes. Naturally, I don't know how terrifying these planes are. Even, there are many Russian troops pointing at the planes in the sky, thinking that it is a miracle. There are countless people who sincerely pray to God.

"Discover the Russians, attack!" The captain of the 81st Fighter Group, gave the order to attack.

36 F2 fighters, began to reduce altitude, ready for battle.

"Da Da Da!"

The fighter piloted by the captain of the group took the lead in the attack. Orange-red flames shone in the muzzles of aviation machine guns, and dense bullets were fired at the Russian troops on the ground.

"Poof! Poof! ”

"Ahh Yes! ”

The sound of bullets hitting the human body and the screams came one after another, and a long line of Russian soldiers fell to the ground amid the screams.
