Chapter 1240: Bombing

On the field airfield of the Imperial Air Force, the fighters who had successfully intercepted the Soviet planes were returning home, and after the planes landed safely, the pilots came out of the cockpit, and the ground crews were already ready. For the Imperial Air Force www.biquge.info these pilots were heroes. If they hadn't intercepted Soviet planes and let Soviet bombers bomb these airfields, the consequences would have been unimaginable, and these ground crews might have died as a result.

"Quick! Fast! Go take a break here, breakfast is ready for you. The ground crews said.

When the fighter pilots took off, they didn't even have time to eat breakfast. After landing, they need to go to the physiological problems before eating breakfast. Ground crews refuel their fighters and refuel their weapons and ammunition. After that, they also had to escort bombers to attack the front-line airfields of the Soviet army.

Both dive bombers and medium bombers of the Imperial Air Force have completed their pre-takeoff preparations and are waiting for fighters. After all, it is not clear how many fighters were left in the Soviet Russian Air Force. These bombers also did not dare to rashly launch a bombing without fighter escort. No matter how good and strong the bombers of the Imperial Air Force are. But in the face of Soviet fighters, it is still a dead end. The difference in aircraft types determines their status in air combat. Bombers are used to bomb ground targets, and in the face of nimble fighters, they are naturally not opponents.

This time, the Imperial Air Force won a great victory, shooting down thousands of Soviet fighters, inflicting heavy losses on the Soviet Air Force on the front line. This is undoubtedly a victory for the empire. As long as the air supremacy is in hand, if the Soviet army dares to launch an offensive again, it will be tantamount to looking for death. The Imperial Air Force will provide strong fire support for the army's defensive line, so that the attacking Soviet troops can experience what it means to bomb indiscriminately.

The officers and men of the Imperial Army on the Ural line of defense were also eye-opening this time. It is the first time that many people have seen air combat, especially a large-scale air battle in which so many groups of planes are strangled together. You must know that both China and the Soviet Union invested more than 1,000 fighters in this air battle. If you add bombers, the total number is close to 1,800. Such a large-scale air battle is rare in the history of world warfare. The officers and men of the Imperial Army cheered with joy when they saw one Soviet fighter plane after another being shot down. Especially when they saw those Soviet pilots who parachuted, they immediately surrounded them with weapons, captured or killed these Soviet pilots alive, and prevented them from returning to Soviet Russia.

Although, a large-scale land war has not yet begun. But the performance of the Imperial Air Force has already reassured the Army. As long as the air supremacy is in the hands of the Imperial Air Force, they will be able to get air support in time. This also means that they can reduce a lot of casualties in battle.

"Commander, the Air Force has already intercepted Soviet planes, they shot down at least a thousand Soviet fighters and bombers. At present, our air force is preparing to bomb the front-line airfields of Soviet Russia and completely seize air supremacy. It is expected that in an hour our bombers will be able to take off. An Air Force liaison officer reported to Admiral Zhang Yunnong.

"Good, very good. Well done Air Force! Without seizing air supremacy, I see how the Russians attacked. Admiral Zhang Yunnong said with a smile. The overwhelming superiority of the air force made it very easy for the Imperial Army to play in this battle. As long as you play according to the plan, the odds of success are undoubtedly very high.

While the Reich was cheering for victory, the Russian side was gloomy. There are dozens of field airfields, but only a few planes have returned. And after those pilots got off the plane, they all turned pale and looked overly frightened.

"What's going on? Why did you only come back with such a small number of planes? Some ground staff asked in surprise. Moreover, these planes are full of bullet holes, and they look like they have experienced a big war.

"Didn't you listen to the people in the command tower? This time our Air Force suffered a crushing defeat. Under the interception of Chinese fighters, we lost thousands of fighters and bombers. Another ground crew member said.

"How so? Could it be that the Chinese have so many more powerful planes than ours? Plus, we're launching a surprise attack! How could the Chinese react so quickly? Take off so many planes in a short period of time to intercept us. ”

"Anyway, listening to the returning pilots, they just flew to the Ural River and found that the Chinese plane was already waiting there. The performance of the Chinese aircraft is so much more powerful than ours that our aircraft have no chance of winning in air battles. Alas, it was not possible to seize air supremacy, and it seems that this battle is more difficult to fight. ”

At the headquarters of the Lower Ural Front of the Soviet Army, General Timoshenko was listening to the reports of the two air generals with an ugly face. In fact, millions of troops on the front line witnessed the Soviet Russian Air Force being tortured and killed by the Chinese Air Force, and a large number of warplanes were shot down. The downed planes were almost all planes of the Soviet Russian Air Force. This undoubtedly shocked the officers and men of the Soviet and Russian Army who witnessed all this, and their morale was also greatly damaged. Originally, they thought that the Air Force would be able to win this operation and seize air supremacy for them in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, in the end, it turned out to be such a result. This will undoubtedly make this offensive of the Russian Red Army a lot more difficult. Some veterans of the Soviet Russian Red Army who participated in the last Sino-Soviet war have turned even pale. They clearly remember how many bombs they had been bombed by the Chinese Air Force in the last war, and how many people had been killed by the Chinese Air Force planes. In this war, it seems that all this is going to happen again.

"How so? Why is it like this? How could our well-prepared raid fail? "General Timoshenko burst into flames. He clearly knew how much damage the air force would deal to them if it failed to complete the plan, and how much it would cost the Soviet Russian Red Army in this battle.

"Comrade Commander, we don't know why this is happening. When our planes flew over the Urals, the planes of the Chinese Air Force were already on high standby, and I seriously suspect that our plans were leaked, which prepared the Chinese Air Force. "said the commander of the 1st Aviation Army of the Russian Air Force, Colonel-General Astakhov.

"Comrade commander, in this air battle, our I-16 fighters and I-15 fighters are not at all opponents of the Chinese fighters. This makes our pilots suffer very much in air combat. That's why we lost so badly. The commander of the 2nd Air Army, Colonel-General Volozheyikin, also said.

"Bastard, I don't listen to these reasons, I want results. The Air Force has failed, and how much trouble it will cause for our offensive this time, you know? Timoshenko said furiously.

Asttakhov and Vorozheikin kept their heads down and did not say a word. Of course, they knew how serious the problem was, and if they didn't do it, the two of them would be removed from their posts outright and even tried by a military court. In the worst case, the anti-rebellion committee will directly trouble them and shoot them without trial.

"Go down and wait for the order from Moscow." Timoshenko glanced at the two air generals in disgust.

Now he is also very annoyed. The Air Force did not succeed, but suffered heavy losses, ceding air supremacy to the Chinese Air Force. This means that if he attacks again, he will be bombed and strafed endlessly by the Chinese air force. This will make the attacking Soviet Russian Air Force pay an extremely heavy price.

However, after so long of careful preparation, we must not give up this attack. This attack on the Chinese Empire was an order from Comrade Stalin. Comrade Stalin's will could never be changed. Otherwise, even if Timoshenko is a general, he won't be able to eat and walk around. This also put Timoshenko in a situation where it was difficult to ride a tiger.

While Timoshenko was thinking about how to report to Stalin, the counterattack of the Chinese Air Force began. Refueled, the reloaded fighter began to take off. After takeoff, they circled over the airport. This was followed by the Imperial Air Force dive bombers and H8 medium bombers. Each of these medium bombers carried 3.5 tons of bombs. A total of five squadrons, that is, 200 medium bombers, were dispatched, and they were to carry out a large-scale bombing of the front-line airfields of the Soviet and Russian air forces, carrying out hundreds of tons of bombs.

After the successful take-off of the group, the formation was completed over the field airfield, and then flew towards the front-line airfield of the Soviet Russian Air Force. Long before the start of the war, the Imperial Air Force had figured out the location of thirty front-line airfields of the Soviet and Russian Air Force.

A huge fleet of aircraft flew at a high altitude towards the airfield of the Soviet Russian Air Force. It's just that when flying over the Ural River, it was inevitably discovered by the ground forces of the Soviet Russian Red Army. They immediately reported to their superiors, and by the time the news reached the front-line airfield of the Russian Air Force, several minutes had passed. The air defense sirens sounded over the airfield of the Russian Air Force, and the Soviet pilots, who had managed to get back with great difficulty, were forced to climb into the cockpit of their planes and prepare to take off to meet the enemy. Although, they are extremely reluctant to fight the devilish Chinese Air Force again. However, they are equally afraid of being killed outright. So, they were only able to take off.

However, this is clearly too late. The fleet of the Chinese Air Force has already flown over the field airfield of the Russian Air Force.

"Attention squadrons, fighter jets suppress enemy anti-aircraft fire, medium bombers drop bombs first, dive bombers drop bombs last." (To be continued.) )
