readx; It didn't take long for Thessaloniki to burst into dozens of huge flames, and the TV-guided bombs carried by these B11 bombers were all heavy bombs, mainly 500 kilograms, with a charge of nearly 400 kilograms, and a small mushroom cloud could basically be seen from the ground when it exploded. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

While these F6D fighter-bombers and B11 bombers were bombing one after another, more than 20 F12A fighters of a brigade of the Ninth Wing were also engaged in a short and easy battle, and their enemy was more than 30 German fighters who took off from surrounding airfields, but these fighters were all old propeller fighters, and there were no Germans' latest ME262 jet fighters.

And with the F12A's air combat surname, even if the ME262 comes, it will have to be slaughtered, not to mention these propeller aircraft.

These F12A fighters took advantage of the surname of high altitude and high speed, used high speed to seize a favorable position, and then attacked and detached, and then repeated the above process, in less than 15 minutes, more than 30 German fighters were shot down, and the remaining German fighters saw that it was not good, that is, they took a low altitude and quickly fled the battlefield.

The Ninth Wing of the Chinese Air Force's own F12A fighters did not lose a single one, achieving a superior record of 17 to 0.

When the report of the air battle was sent back to China, Chen Jingyun opened it with a smile, and then he was still a little excited, and he immediately ordered to use the presidential office incentive fund to relate to the chief designer of the development of the F12A and the designer of the FL43 series jet engine. At the beginning, the companies to which they belonged had already rewarded the relevant personnel, and the reward amount was definitely more than that of the presidential office incentive fund, but how to say it, although the award of the presidential office award fund is not much, it is only tens of thousands of yuan, but the most important thing here is a name, because the money of the presidential office incentive fund is Chen Jingyun's private pocket, and the source is mainly Chen Jingyun's presidential salary and the income generated by the reinvestment of these salaries. In the past few decades, the rewards for scientific research scholars have been maintained, generally only a few people a year, and the objects of rewards are those scientific research scholars who have made great contributions to the country and the nation.

Although the amount of the award is not high, the most important thing here is a name, because every year the presidential office award fund is won by China's top scientists, and it is awarded by Chen Jingyun himself.

The F12A's operation in Europe can be regarded as the first time that the F12A fighter has participated in the war, and although it also turned around on the battlefield last year, in fact, when the F12A came on the field, it was said that the air force of the navy and the army had already been finished, and the F12A had no chance to fight at all. Today, the Chinese Air Force has sent only one air supremacy fighter to fight in Europe, the F12A, which has given the F12A the most valuable large-scale combat experience since it entered service.

In just three or four days after the F12A joined the war, the Ninth Wing reported to the higher authorities more than 20 problems in the size of the F12A fighters, and the feedback on these problems also provided valuable data for the Air Force to continue to improve the F12A fighters.

The Air Force is already preparing to launch the F12C fighter, and the F12B that the Air Force improved and put into service before is not a big change compared to the F12A, but it is just a replacement with a thrust engine, and this F12C is intended to modify all the problems that have been exposed, and there will be more than 100 large and small changes, and it will also be replaced with a thrust engine.

The participation of F12 fighters allowed the Chinese Air Force to firmly control the air supremacy over Greece and Bulgaria, and after gaining air supremacy, the Chinese Air Force was able to calmly send a large number of F6D, F5U fighter-bombers and B11/B16 strategic bombers to bomb the area.

After all, the air combat surnames of these fighter-bombers and strategic bombers can be very ordinary, and if there is no F12 fighter to completely obtain air supremacy, the survival rate on the battlefield will not be too high.

With absolute air superiority, the Fourth Armored Corps under the European Expeditionary Force of the Chinese Army also launched a large-scale attack on Thessaloniki.

It was always the artillery units that fired first, and the 4th Panzer Corps' massive 105-mm, 155-mm self-propelled guns carried out a cover-up bombardment of Thessaloniki, that is, ploughing the entire city regardless of military and civilian targets. This kind of thing is, to put it more serious, a brutal attack, because it has no regard for the lives and deaths of civilians.

However, this really can't be blamed on the recklessness of the Chinese Army's actions, when the Nationalist Army was still fighting a civil war, it never had a soft hand in the face of its own civilians, and when it encountered a siege of the city, it basically rarely cared about the casualties of the civilians in the city, and the civilians killed and wounded were much more than the Beiyang Army. In the many foreign wars after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is even more impossible to expect the army to estimate the life and death of civilians in other countries, when it fought in Korea, it almost bombed the entire Seoul into ruins, and later fought in Russia, and also bombed several major cities such as Novosibirsk into ruins, and the specific civilian casualties are already incalculable, and there are few survivors anyway.

In fact, the army is quite good, if you look at the momentum of the Chinese Air Force's bombing, the five million killed and wounded under the Chinese Air Force's incendiary bombs and nuclear bombs are going up, let alone five million......

In Europe, it is clear that the Army has not abandoned this fine tradition, and although this artillery attack does not deliberately fire at civilian areas, when striking military targets, it does not care whether the shells will fall on nearby residential areas.

The rumbling of artillery rang out for a day and a night, and the artillery positions in the rear were covered with yellow bullet shells, and the transport convoy responsible for transporting shells never stopped.

After wasting countless taxpayers' money on shells, these grandfathers of the army finally boarded tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and then T18 opened the way, cautiously launching the first tentative attack on Thessaloniki!

April 15 at 7 a.m.

In the small streets on the outskirts of Thessaloniki, the Chinese Air Force had detected anti-tank gun positions before, so not only did the Chinese Air Force send bombers to bomb it, but a 155th Artillery Battalion of the Second Armored Division also carried out fierce shelling at this place at night.

In the ruins, you can still see the smoke and dust of explosions in the distance from time to time, and the rumbling cannon has never stopped, and a low roar is faintly heard from the rumbling cannon.

Not long after, a gray painted tank with a clear five-color star logo on the body appeared around the corner of the street, and looking at the shape of this tank, it was naturally the T18 tank of the Chinese Army.

The tracks of this T18 tank pressed on the stone street, and suddenly it stopped, and then the turret began to rotate, which 105 mm tank muzzle on the turret was raised upward, and a few seconds later, I saw a violent vibration of the T18 tank, and a huge flame rose from the muzzle of the 105 mm tank, and a 105 mm high-explosive shell spun out of the gun chamber at high speed, and went straight to a building that was already in a semi-ruined state for 100 meters, with the violent explosion, The building, which was already crumbling, collapsed directly, and several screams could seem to be heard in the collapsed ruins.

Inside the T18 tank, which was marked with the number 228 on the hull, a commander with a young and immature face said through the radio: "The target has been eliminated!" ”

At the same time, in the corner of a residential building that had also become a ruin more than 20 meters away from the No. 228 tank, one of the heavily armed Chinese army soldiers, one of the sergeants was lying in the ruins at this time, and then climbed close to the wall of the ruins, and carefully poked his head out to observe the enemy situation in the distance.

However, as soon as he poked his head out, not far away, he suddenly remembered the sound of crackling, and several bullets had already hit the wall, so frightened that the sergeant immediately retracted his head.

Shrinking back, he scolded in a low voice: "This German is really fatal, this didn't kill him!" ”

Then he said to the wireless phone: "28th, 28th!" ”

The voice of the commander of car No. 228 immediately came from the phone: "We have finished loading, please indicate the target!" ”

"The enemy is in front of you on the left, about one hundred or fifty hundred meters away, and there is a small two-story building, and the enemy army is on the top of the building!" The sergeant reported quickly.

A voice came from the phone: "Understood! ”

Then the 228 T18 tank began to turn the turret again, but at this moment, a private in the infantry squad suddenly shouted: "They rocket! ”

When the sergeant heard this, he hurriedly climbed out and looked ahead, and saw several German figures on another building, and one of them was obviously holding a rocket.

"Suppress the enemy!" Before his words fell, several comrades-in-arms around him had already pulled the trigger of the 1944-style automatic rifle in their hands, and the dense bullets began to splash on the side of those German soldiers, and at the same time, the sergeant also urgently reported to the T18 tank: "Rockets, you are in the direction of two o'clock, a hundred distances!" ”

The crew of the T18 tank was clearly nervous, and the turret of the T18 tank quickly turned, no longer aiming at the original target, but at the emerging threat.

However, it takes time for the turret to turn, and although the rifle fire of the infantry squad to which the sergeant belonged had been fired intensively, and the bullets hit the Germans around them, and soon hit one of the Germans, the German with the rocket in his hand was still half-crouching and carrying the rocket, and then one of the rockets was rushing towards the T18 tank No. 228 with dazzling flames.

In the next moment, the German soldier who fired the rocket was hit by a dense stream of rifle bullets, but at the same time, a ball of fire rose from the front of the T18 tank.

It was hit!
