Chapter 324: Aerial Slaughter

In the early morning of June 16, 2538, the sky had just dawned, and eighty fighters of the Ice Lion Air Force escorted three hundred and thirty-six high-altitude horizontal bombers to the sky above Yueyang City.

The individual anti-aircraft missiles that Su Yi transported from the world of the Great Han Kingdom to the time and space of the Great Qin Kingdom have a range of about three thousand meters, but the firing altitude is less than 1,500 meters, and the main targets of the attack are the dive bombers of the Air Force of the Ice Lion Kingdom and the fighters that reduce the flight altitude, and they have no effect on the horizontal bombers flying at an altitude of several thousand meters.

It was precisely because the air force of the Ice Lion Kingdom discovered this that in the later stage of the First Battle of Yueyang City, only some high-altitude horizontal bombers were dispatched to bomb the defenders of Yueyang City on the ground, and almost all of the dive bombers that suffered heavy losses in the air raid on Yueyang City were transferred to other battlefields in the territory of the Great Qin State.

Of course, because the army under Su Yi was also equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft guns, especially 88-mm anti-aircraft guns, with a vertical range of up to 8,000 meters, the high-altitude horizontal bombers of the Ice Lion Air Force did not play much role in the later stage of the First Battle of Yueyang City.

In this second attack on Yueyang City, more than half of the thousands of fighters gathered by the Ice Lion Air Force at various airports around Yueyang City were high-altitude horizontal bombers, and many of these high-altitude horizontal bombers were temporarily modified by transport aircraft.

According to the battle plan of the commander-in-chief, Marshal Cajano, the second attack of the Ice Lion Army's army on Yueyang City was first launched by a group of high-altitude horizontal bombers.

However, what Marshal Kayano didn't expect was that the Great Qin Army in Yueyang City already had a very powerful air force, and when more than 400 fighters of the Ice Lion Air Force flew over Yueyang City, they were suddenly intercepted by 300 Xiuniao fighters of the Independent Division of the Great Qin Air Force.

"Oh my God! The Great Qin Air Force had prepared so many fighters in Yueyang City, so hurry up and ask the superiors for instructions on whether to let the bomber formation evacuate quickly! ”

"There is no need to ask for instructions, the bomber formations should retreat quickly, and let those fighters block the fighter group of the Great Qin Air Force at all costs!"

"It's a trap! The Great Qin Air Force actually hid its strength in Yueyang City! ”

"Don't complain, let's turn around and retreat!"

"Throw all the bombs out of the engine room! What the? There is no position of the Great Qin army below, and at this time, we don't care what bombing targets we want, we have to quickly reduce the load of the aircraft, otherwise we won't be able to run if we want to! ”

The appearance of 300 Xiuniao fighters of the Independent Division of the Great Qin Air Force immediately confused the crews of the high-altitude horizontal bombers of the Ice Lion Air Force.

Since they did not know that the Great Qin Air Force had deployed so many fighters near Yueyang City, there were only 80 Ice Lion State fighters escorting 336 high-altitude horizontal bombers this time, and the main task of these 80 fighters was to wait for an opportunity to attack and disturb the anti-aircraft fire of the defenders of Yueyang City and create better bombing opportunities for the group of high-altitude horizontal bombers.

At this time, if there were no 80 fighters of the Air Force of the Ice Lion Country, and more than 300 high-altitude horizontal bombers of the Air Force of the Ice Lion Country, they could only become lambs to the slaughter.

The commander in charge of the 336 high-altitude horizontal bombers made a quick decision and immediately issued an order to retreat to the bomber formations.

This time, the commander who led the eighty fighters to serve as an escort was Air Force Colonel Migot, and after Migot discovered the 300 Xiuniao fighters of the Daqin Air Force Independent Division, his face not only did not show any panic, but showed excitement.

Migot is one of the ace pilots of the Ice Lion Air Force, in the previous battle with the Great Qin Air Force, Migot piloted his own landline, the Flying Lion D fighter, and shot down a total of nine fighters of the Great Qin Air Force, including seven fighters and two bombers, which is the pilot who shot down the most opponent's fighters in the battlefield of the Great Qin Air Force.

When Migot saw hundreds of fighters of the Great Qin Air Force suddenly appear, his first thought was that his record of shooting down enemy planes would increase by several more, or even a dozen.

Through the radio station in the cockpit of the fighter, Migot gave an order: "The first and second squadrons are responsible for the middle, the third and fourth squadrons are responsible for the left, the fifth and sixth squadrons are responsible for the right, block the opponent's fighter group as much as possible, and the seventh and eighth squadrons are pressed behind, be sure to block the fish that slip through the net, and ensure that the bomber formations return safely!" ”

According to the formation of fighters of the Air Force of the Ice Lion Country, ten fighters were organized into a combat squadron.

The groups of fighters from both sides quickly came together, and to the despair of Migot and the other Ice Lion Nation fighter pilots, the performance of the hundreds of fighters of the same type in the Great Qin Air Force actually surpassed the several fighters they flew in all aspects.

As soon as the fighters of the two sides clashed, more than 30 fighters of the Air Force of the Ice Lion Country were shot down, while few fighters of the Daqin Air Force were shot down, and the Flying Lion D fighter piloted by Air Force Colonel Migot was also attacked by two Xiuniao fighters of the Independent Division of the Daqin Air Force, becoming one of the first more than 30 fighters of the Air Force of the Ice Lion Country to be shot down.

After losing Migot's command, the remaining fighters of the Ice Lion Air Force were even more powerless to stop the Daqin Air Force fighter group, which had an advantage in numbers and performance, so that a large number of Xiuniao fighters quickly approached the retreating more than 300 high-altitude horizontal bombers and launched a massacre against them.

"Smack-" Marshal Cajano, the commander of the Ice Lion Country's army, slapped the table fiercely, and said with a grim face: "What is the intelligence department doing, it doesn't even know about the fact that the Great Qin Air Force has stationed hundreds of fighters near Yueyang City, and it has caused the Air Force to lose seventy-four fighters and three hundred and sixteen high-altitude horizontal bombers in one fell swoop!" ”

In the first wave of attack aircraft of the Ice Lion Air Force, only six fighters and twenty high-altitude horizontal bombers escaped, and the rest of the fighters and high-altitude horizontal bombers were all shot down by the 300 Xiuniao fighters of the Independent Division of the Great Qin Air Force, while the Independent Division of the Great Qin Air Force only lost sixteen Xiuniao fighters.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Army General Gru said with a wry smile: "Marshal, according to the news sent by the Air Force, the Great Qin Air Force is dispatching a very advanced fighter this time, which is much more advanced than the Flying Lion D fighter newly equipped by our Ice Lion Air Force. ”

After a pause, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Army General Gru continued: "I suspect that this fighter was also made by that Su Yi, just like the advanced weapons and equipment equipped by the defenders of Yueyang City, and those hundreds of fighters should be hidden in several airfields in Yuhong County, Zhutian County, Lanping County, Danyan County, and Huining County. ”

Marshal Kayano took a deep breath, relieved his anger, and then said in a deep voice: "Let the Air Force dispatch reconnaissance planes to search Yuhong County, Zhutian County, Lanping County, Danyan County, and Huining County to find out the military airfields of the Daqin Air Force, and let the Air Force strengthen the air defense of several of our airfields around Yueyang City to guard against the air raids of the Daqin Air Force, and at the same time ask the intelligence department to try to find out how many fighters the Daqin Air Force has stationed near Yueyang City!" ”

The deputy commander-in-chief, Army General Gru, then asked: "Marshal, is the offensive on the ground still carried out as originally planned?" ”

Marshal Cajano groaned for a moment and said: "The ground offensive continues, and I don't expect much from the Air Force anyway. ”

"Boom-boom-" At 12 o'clock at noon on June 16, the army troops of the Ice Lion Kingdom north of Yueyang City first launched an attack on the northern city of Yueyang City, and the attack on this side was also the focus of the attack of the Ice Lion Country army, and the more than 1.7 million troops of the Ice Lion Kingdom participated in the second attack on Yueyang City, and almost half of the troops were concentrated in the north of Yueyang City.

After the attack of the Ice Lion Kingdom army was launched, he suddenly found that Yueyang City seemed to be much more difficult to fight than before, Su Yi took advantage of the time that the Ice Lion Kingdom army did not attack, and almost turned the entire Yueyang City into a huge military fortress, using steel and concrete to build countless permanent fortifications, many pillbox fortifications can even resist more than 150 mm shells.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of June 16, the troops of the Ice Lion Kingdom to the east and west of Yueyang City also launched an attack on the Great Qin army defending the city.

In an underground fortification in the northern city of Yueyang City, Chen Jinjin, the commander of the provisional 9th Division, said loudly to more than a dozen officers under his command: "Lao Tzu finally won the task of guarding Beicheng District from the commander and army commander. ”

The three provisional armies under Su Yi all have six provisional divisions under their jurisdiction, and the 9th provisional division is subordinate to the provisional second army.

Chen Jinjin, the commander of the provisional 9th Division, was originally a deputy battalion commander of the Great Qin Army, but was later left behind in Xinji Town, north of Yueyang City, because he was seriously wounded.

Although Chen Jinjin was seriously injured at the time, he also participated in the bloody battle of Xinji Town, and finally survived by luck and successfully broke through from Xinji Town with Su Yi.

Chen Jinjin has been serving under Su Yi since he recovered from his injury, and as Su Yi rose to the top, he was appointed as the commander of the provisional 9th Division.

Chen Jinjin has a tough fighting style, he is very capable of fighting some vicious battles, and he was very prominent in the first battle of Yueyang City, and he was very valued by Su Yi, but this person is very gangster, and he often scolds in his mouth, and he can only be restrained in front of Su Yi.

Bai Kuishan, commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 9th Provisional Division, shouted loudly: "Rest assured, the division commander is in the position of the guarantor of our 1st Brigade, and we will never be embarrassed by the 9th Division!" ”

Bai Kuishan followed Su Yi before Chen Jinjin, when Su Yi was ordered to protect the field hospital of the 329th Regiment and retreat to Yueyang City, Bai Kuishan was already under Su Yi's command, this time the three provisional armies carried out a new round of reorganization, adding brigade-level combat units and regiment-level combat units, and Bai Kuishan was transferred to the provisional 9th Division as the brigade commander of the First Infantry Brigade.

And Bai Kuishan was able to be promoted from battalion commander to brigade commander, in addition to his military exploits and personal ability, loyalty to Su Yi was the most crucial.

After Bai Kuishan made his statement, the commanders of the other two infantry brigades of the provisional 9th Division also patted their chests and assured the division commander Chen Jinjin that they would swear to defend the forward position in Beicheng District.

But then Chen Jinjin shook his head and said: "Although the commander let us fight for every inch of land in the defense, it is not a reckless hard fight, if the forward position is seriously damaged, there is no need for us to defend the forward position, in the entire Beicheng District, we have a large number of fortifications, don't forget the commander's requirements for us, use the fortification group in the Yueyang City area, consume as much as possible the living force of the Ice Lion Country army, and prepare for the counteroffensive of our whole army, of course, the retreat order in the battle must be given by me, the division commander!" ”

After a pause, Chen Jinjin continued: "Let's ugly say that in the front, without Lao Tzu's retreat order, even if the position guarded by any army becomes a scorched earth, Lao Tzu must be firmly nailed to this position!" ”

Although the Great Qin army took advantage of the period when the Ice Lion State army did not attack, it built a large number of strong fortifications in Yueyang City, coupled with the artillery unit under Su Yi, it was also equipped with many 155mm howitzers, as well as the air fire support of the independent division of the Great Qin Air Force, so that the losses of the Ice Lion Army that launched the attack increased sharply.

In the face of the huge casualties of the attacking troops, Marshal Kayano, the commander-in-chief of the army of the Ice Lion Country, did not care, but said in a deep voice to the deputy commander-in-chief Army General Gru: "Let the attacking divisions continue to increase their attacks, in this second battle of Yueyang City, our Ice Lion Kingdom must not fail again, even if we sacrifice a million people, we must conquer the capital of the Great Qin State!" ”

The deputy commander-in-chief, Army General Gru, hesitated for a moment and said: "Marshal, if you use your life to fill Yueyang City like this, even if it is a million lives, it may not be able to fill it, is it not to modify the battle plan formulated before?" ”

Marshal Cajano shook his head categorically: "Since I don't know where the Great Qin army of Yueyang City got so many advanced weapons and equipment, our Ice Lion Country's troops attacking Yueyang City can be said to be at a disadvantage in many aspects, and now we can only rely on the iron will of our Ice Lion Country's army to capture Yueyang City, and it is impossible not to pay huge sacrifices." ”

Gru said with a wry smile: "But if we really sacrifice another million people in Yueyang City, these troops we attacked in Yueyang City will basically be disabled, and at this rate of casualties, the sacrifice of one million people may not be able to exchange for a Yueyang City." ”

Marshal Kayano's tone suddenly raised a little, "The cabinet has authorized the War Department to once again recruit a million reserve officers and soldiers of the lion clan and other beast clans, and this million people are prepared for the various divisions participating in the Second Battle of Yueyang City!" ”
