Chapter 11: The Age of Air Power

"Thankfully, we have enough air power!"

Joseph Pilsudski watched through a periscope telescope at the command as the smoke rising from the front line, including the Soviet tanks advancing under artillery fire in the distance.

As the commander-in-chief of the Polish army, he stayed in the command center built by the Chinese Federation in the city, which integrated communications, intelligence, and operational command. As many as five such command centers were built as many as the battle was expected to progress.

Joseph Pilsudski, who was directly watching the battlefield through the long-range viewing device, exclaimed, and at the same time he fully understood what the military advisory group provided to them by "Thunder International" at the invitation of the Polish government told the Polish government.

"Without air supremacy, the initiative of the war will definitely be lost, so in the defense of Warsaw, the Polish government should be most concerned about the acquisition of air supremacy. What can be asserted is that without air supremacy, then the war would have been completely lost! ”

To a certain extent, the Polish government, which had completely surrendered the interests of the state and the nation to the Chinese Federation, had once again opened their coffers to the Chinese Federation because of this proposal.

Since the state was only just being established, and with a continuous period of war, Poland had little money at this time. In desperation, they had no choice but to sell their amber mining rights to the Confederation for 10 years, as the Soviet government did. After all, neither the land nor the resources of the Polish state were likely to confront the Soviets. However, amber, a refined resource with considerable economic value, gave the Polish government the opportunity to upgrade the technical equipment of the war.

In the course of the negotiations, the Polish government proposed that the aircraft they needed was a "saber" with better combat performance, and as mentioned earlier, this kind of multi-role fighter with a dismantled cannon would increase its resistance because of the shell pylons, and the multi-purpose would also reduce the combat performance of the saber machine. Of course, this is not a problem for China, which has the "edge of the flying prosperium". However, the air supremacy fighters needed by the Polish side had to use the old-fashioned "saber".

The Chinese Federation had no choice but to remake a batch of old-fashioned sabers. Fortunately, the production of "Saber ABZ" did not stop due to foreign trade orders. Therefore, the delivery of 2,000 aircraft is not a great problem for the huge arms production industry of the Chinese Federation.

With the arrival of the "saber machine" of the Chinese Federation, the number of aircraft of the Polish army increased significantly in the strength of the opposing sides. At the same time, pilots who had been training for a short time in the Chinese Federation returned to Warsaw before the outbreak of the defense of Warsaw. Although the training time of these pilots is relatively short, most of their instructors are aces with rich combat experience in the Chinese Federation.

Therefore, the fighting quality of Polish pilots was a natural advantage over the Soviet Red Army, which had only established its air force after the revolution and relied on its own exploration.

The formation of the Polish Air Force, which was ordered to take off, was almost exactly the same as that of the Air Force of the Chinese Federation. As they rushed to the battlefield, the air forces of the Soviet Red Army arrived at the same time.

The theory of "air supremacy" has received considerable attention in the armed forces of all countries in the world, and the role of air supremacy has been vividly and vividly embodied in the war waged by the Chinese Federation. As a result, the "Sabre" fighter has also become a hotly sold fighter in the world arms market.

While "air supremacy" is equally important in all countries, the use of air forces in each country has its own different emphasis.

On the part of the Soviet Red Army, the perception of air power. Except that because of the development of heavy bombers, the Soviet Air Force did not have a sufficient understanding of strategic bombing. Because of their experience in the civil war, they have sufficient experience in air supremacy and cooperation with attack aircraft in the Holy Land.

In the sky, the fighters chasing each other are two identical models of "sabers", except for different liveries.

In the face of the Soviet side, the Polish Air Force consisted of "tadpole planes" to form ground attack aircraft, except for some fighters who pinned down the Soviet escort fighters in the air. The rest of the fighters roared and dived downward, pounced on the "tadpole machine" of the Soviet Red Army.

The dive of the Polish Air Force "Sabre" fighters made the Soviet Red Army fighters escorting the escort also have to run to a low altitude. At this time, victory in the battle was no longer premised on whether or not the enemy plane was shot down. As an attacker, breaking through the defensive line is the only goal. As defenders, repelling enemy attacks is what they pay for.

The "Sabre" fighter plane kept diving down and pulling up. Below them are the "tadpoles" that began to "snake" in order to evade the strikes of fighters. Fierce battles in the air are always more magnificent and cruel than fierce battles on the ground.

The rotors of the hit "tadpole machine" spun into the distance in a violent explosion. The Soviet pilots, who were lucky enough to jump out of the cabin, spread their white umbrella flowers in the sky. Although the Soviet Air Force still had some air superiority, the ground attack was completely impossible to carry out under the rapid and powerful aircraft attack of the "Sabre" aircraft.

Among the remaining 100 "tadpoles" of the attack wave, the planes that narrowly escaped the attack quickly fired rockets at the positions of the Polish Army, immediately turned sideways, and then withdrew to the rear of the Soviet Red Army.

Rockets flew around the positions of the Polish troops, and the ballistic tracks dragging white tail smoke were like a demonic net in the sky, covering the ground with death. The battered "Tadpoles" did not attack the pillboxes with the precision predicted by the Soviet Red Army before the start of the war.

As the message reached the command organs of the Soviet Red Army, at the same time that Joseph Pilsudski was in his command center, Stalin gave the same order. Despite this super-command, Tukhachevsky at the front was not thanked.

"In any case, the Poles cannot gain air supremacy on the battlefield, so our air force should spare no effort to maintain superiority on the battlefield!"

With the arrival of his order, more aircraft from the side of the Red Army were dispatched.

"Oh my God, the war has just begun, is he going to get our air force out of the war so soon!"

Tukhachevsky held a telescope and looked up at the sky. Groups of planes depicting axes and sickles flew to the battlefield in three-plane squads in different heights and spaces. Tukhachevsky, who had been counting on air power all along, did not shy away from scolding in the later strikes to attack the three-dimensional fortifications in the city.

But what he didn't notice was the disapprehensive pouts of his political commissar. After all, as a political commissar of the Front, he was already in a position to be cared for by Stalin in the future. Even, almost all political commissars understood that being a professional in the USSR was an overly simplistic idea.

On the battlefield, the offensive on the ground was affected by the blockage of the air attack of the Soviet Red Army. In the face of those solid coherent fronts formed by "fast fronts", there was not necessarily a better way to do it with 35mm guns on tanks.

Instead, the anti-tank guns and bazookas in the bunkers spewed tongues of fire vigorously, and smoke rose from the hit tanks. The tanker bravied the fire of the battlefield to get out of the tank, and then his precious life was killed by the bullets flying in all directions.

In the face of the strong fortress, the tanks and armored vehicles that gradually slowed down had to concentrate their firepower in an effort to eliminate one fire point after another. However, this is not an easy thing to do under enemy fire.

"Let's go, let's go!"

The infantry of the Red Army did not slow down the advance of the tanks, and even when the distance of the tanks did not protect them, they continued to advance alternately under the cover of craters and destroyed anti-tank obstacles.

The men who ran were hit by bullets fired from the bunkers of those fast fronts, and they lay on the open ground whimpering loudly and letting out a last cry. Of course, the harm is intimidating every soldier. However, the loyal and brave soldiers of the Soviet Red Army still strode forward one by one, and in front of them were the party members and regimental members who took the lead. They faced the fire and death, but they did not stop their agile steps.

But at this time, the "Saber ABZ" of the Polish Air Force, which had temporarily gained partial air supremacy in the sky, swooped down from the sky with a long sound. They spray bullets and bombs that represent the Grim Reaper, and this relatively strong comprehensive aircraft is still a good equipment when counterattacking.

One by one, the Soviet soldiers shrank their heads in their hiding places, rifles and machine guns in their hands firing into the sky. They still had the hope of defeating each other in their hearts, and not far from them was the one who had stopped attacking, and was now shooting in a lateral movement to suppress the tanks in the pillbox.

The infantry in the armored vehicles stubbornly fired at the pillboxes with the help of every obstacle on the ground where they could hide. This pleased the soldiers of the Soviet infantry corps who followed, and they left their bunkers and moved forward.

Despite the rain of bullets, despite the face of death, the soldiers showed more tenacity.

One by one, the running bodies fell on the way to attack, and the Polish planes in the sky were constantly hindering their attack. The fact that comrades were killed by enemy shells and bullets did not prevent the infantry of the Soviet Red Army from approaching.

Immediately, the sound of an even heavier engine could be heard in the sky.

The air support of the Soviet Red Army arrived on the battlefield!
