Chapter Twenty-Four: You Didn't Discuss It
That night, Lin Jun chatted with Xie Weijin and Wang Gang until late before leaving. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Lin Jun learned from Xie Weijin that the current domestic form is still very complicated, RB devils are ready to move, and ******'s troops are still "suppressing the Communists" everywhere, and Lao Jiang is still there under the banner of "Outside must first be inside".
This Xie Weijin followed the call of the Comintern to come to Spain, and it turned out that he had studied at the Frunze Military Academy and was a member of the old **. In the chat with him, he also learned that he had met many leaders of China, which made Lin Jun very surprised.
With regard to the Spanish civil war, both men spoke of a very difficult and difficult prospect because of the strength of the enemy and the attitude of the countries in favor of Franco's majority.
Although Xie Weijin knew that the struggle would be very difficult, he still firmly believed that the Republic side would definitely win the final victory! Of course, Lin Jun knew the final ending, but this could never be said. The power of the individual is sometimes very small, and in this environment, the Spanish Civil War was only the first real contest between the forces of justice and the fascists in Europe, and now the power of the fascists is rising, and most countries have a conniving and appeased attitude towards the German and Italian fascists. Perhaps the Spanish Civil War was destined to be a tragic song, but the power of communism made this song so majestic! Those who indulge will end up paying a thousandfold price for what they have done!
In fact, Xie Weijin also expressed indignation at the connivance and appeasement attitude of some Western countries. Although he did not have the ability to correctly foresee the final outcome of this war, he was also certain that those who connived at it would pay for what they had done, because fascists were insatiable wolves!
His foresight made Lin Jun very impressed! You know, this is the outstanding vision and clear insight that many Western leaders did not possess at that time!
The last conversation between the two was interrupted by Grande and Andlupf, who were looking for someone to find the artillery camp. Because they found out that Andrei was "missing", and it turned out that the airport was looking for someone, because this Andrei was so important, for both the airport and the brother Andrepf. Lin Jun hurriedly apologized, promising that the next time he left their sight, he would report his whereabouts first.
Back in the dormitory, Lin Jun couldn't sleep for a long time and thought a lot. The appearance of Xie Weijin and Wang Gang reminded him of everything in his previous life, and this is something he has deliberately avoided for the past two years, because it is too painful to miss it.
There will always be a day to get together in a long distance, and the long river of time cannot be crossed by manpower!
Early the next morning, Lin Jun called Andrupf up, because if he didn't find something exciting to distract him, he would not be able to stand it mentally.
"Brother, I heard that the rebels' ground forces are less than 200 kilometers from Madrid, do you want to harass them?"
"Hehe, I know that you can't be idle, to be honest, I'm also idle. Let's go and find out the situation. "Andlupf also wants to find Franco's bad luck.
Once a person has experienced a battle for the first time, he will not get used to calm for a long time.
After a lot of talking, the commander-in-chief of the airport finally agreed to Lin Jun's application for "free patrol and hunting on the battlefield", if Lin Jun directly said that he was going to bomb the rebels' forward positions, Grandqi would definitely resolutely oppose it. But patrol flights are different, and this is also the defense of Madrid!
"Why do you have to hang bombs when this Andrei said (free patrol and hunting on the battlefield)?" Grunqi on the tower saw a black bump hanging under the Yi 16 that took off, which made the comrade commander-in-chief very incomprehensible. I asked on the radio, but the two pilot comrades said that if they could give them a moment if they encountered the rebels who were reconnoitring in front of them halfway, Grandqi acquiesced.
Lin Jun is also playing a clever trick, because after arriving at Madrid Airport from his own logistics detachment, according to the consistent practice of the Soviet Air Force, the core part of all aircraft logistics work is done by his own personnel, and the original people at Madrid Airport can only do chores on the side. And the ordnance part of the plane is not allowed to be touched by others, so Lin Jun can hang up the bomb and take off without the consent of the airport commander and the formalities of the airport!
"Listen to you on earth, and I will have the final say in heaven!" This is Lin Jun's consistent style.
Today's Madrid is sunny, and the autumn sun is warm on the citizens of Madrid. At least half of the conversation these days revolves around the two fighter jets painted with the red five-star logo and the two brave pilots who flew them. And on the second day of the air battle, several newspapers in Madrid published a large report about the air battle, with large photographs of the two pilots when they were awarded.
Soon after the war began, the newspaper editors and reporters had not yet fully learned how to report on it, and as a result, they spent a great deal of effort on describing the course of the air war. After learning about the accounts of some eyewitnesses and combining their own imagination, the editorial comrades wrote the article as if they had personally participated in the air battle, which was extremely thrilling, and also described the two pilots as paladin-like characters in medieval mythology! This made Lin Jun and Andlupf cry and laugh, although they couldn't read Spanish, but after listening to the explanation of the translator Glic, they all felt that the reporters in Madrid were really powerful! It's a pity that these comrades don't want to be pilots, because there are many actions and processes in air combat that two pilots dare not do, and they don't even dare to try when they dream, and it's really a shame that these comrades who are engaged in writing work have come up with it!
The sequelae are also very obvious, Lin Jun and Andlupuf have become "St. George" in the hearts of Madrid citizens, especially the young and handsome lieutenant colonel Andrei in the photo, who has become the "dream lover" in the hearts of Madrid girls! Unfortunately, they don't know that this "dream lover" son is three months old. Of course, if someone tells them this, they will either be besieged by the girls, or they will tell you: she is still my Prince Charming, and it will not affect my love for him!
Today's Madrid citizens saw two fighter jets flying over the city and waved at them again frantically. Because there were no air raid sirens, everyone just thought that the hero in their hearts was on patrol.
The plane climbed slowly until it leveled at an altitude of 3,500 meters. It is convenient and clear to observe the situation on the ground at this altitude, and if an enemy plane is detected, it can quickly climb to seize the altitude, and there is no need to use oxygen.
"Andrei, I got the news from the Spanish comrades that the troops at the front may have been engaged in a small fire with the rebels in the past two days."
"Well, so I'm going to help my comrades in Spain. It is said that the rebels have a large number of armored vehicles and tanks that Germany has just supplied, which caused our ground forces to suffer a lot of losses. ”
"Andrey, knowing that you are a good tank fighter, there will be times when you enjoy it."
"Huh."
Lin Jun and Andlupf did not continue, because everyone knew that the following would involve confidentiality.
After more than half an hour, the two planes lowered their altitude so that the troops below could clearly see their identification marks and avoid accidental hits. At this time, there were already some trenches on the ground intermittently, in which the soldiers of the Republic were waving to themselves, and it seemed that they saw the big red five stars on the wings.
After flying a few kilometers further, Lin Jun and Andlupf saw gunpowder smoke rising in front of them at the same time, which should be the smoke and dust from the explosion of the shell.
"Brother, climb!"
The two planes rose rapidly, and Lin Jun saw that the position of the republic below was being attacked, and the attacking force was full of two battalions, and there were dozens of tanks and armored vehicles, because the distance was too far, he couldn't see what model it was.
"it! Brother, 30-degree angle, 500 meters altitude bomb and then straf! After climbing to an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, Lin Jun adjusted the sight to the mode of attacking ground targets, pushed the joystick, and pounced at a 30-degree dive angle. This time, a large-angle dive was not chosen because it was not for bombing hard point targets, and the accuracy of the bomb was not much required, and it was convenient to change to a small-angle strafing after dropping the bomb.
The fighting on the ground was fierce, the rebels were attacking frantically with superior artillery fire and tank support, while the soldiers of the Republic were desperately resisting and fighting back with the trenches as a backing. But everyone can see that the balance of forces is too obvious, the republican side is almost unable to support it, and the rebel tanks are only a few dozen meters away from the position.
The two sides were experiencing a battle of blood and fire, and the battlefield was filled with gunfire, shell explosions, shouts of charging and screams of the wounded, and no one noticed that two planes were diving down in the air.
Suddenly, both sides of the battlefield were staring into the air, the difference was that the Republic side cheered and fired more fiercely, while the infantry on the rebel side was in a panic, and the clever and quick reaction was to lie down quickly. On the battlefield, only those tanks and armored vehicles are still charging headlessly.
Two fighters with huge red five-star symbols on their wings swooped down from high altitude towards the rebel troops, dropping a bomb on each belly, and the people on the Republic side watched as the bombs fell in the middle of the rebels and exploded violently! Countless pieces of rubble, dirt and human debris flew up in the smoke of gunpowder. The two fighters did not fly away after dropping the bombs, but fired wildly at the rebels, and for a while the rebel soldiers fell like chopping melons and vegetables.
Lin Jun raised the nose of the plane after dropping the bomb, and swept it with two machine guns at a small angle of 5 degrees, hitting the rebels below and howling wolves! Looking at the person in front of me who was torn to shreds by a machine-gun bullet, I felt extremely excited!
"I'll kill! Kill!! Kill!!! ”
But this is not over, after flying through the attack range, Lin Jun and Andlupf made a quick turn and turned back.
This time, Lin Jun was eyeing those Type 1 tanks and SdKlz four-wheeled armored vehicles. Four hundred meters, Lin Jun pressed the machine gun and machine gun firing buttons at the same time, watching the four firelight barrages devour all the moving targets in front of him.
The thin armor of the Type 1 tank and the SdKlz was ruthlessly torn apart, and the people inside were consumed by shrapnel and flames before they could react. The rebel soldiers who were hiding near them to avoid the air raids were also mercilessly torn apart by machine gun bullets and shell fragments!
The commander of the rebels could not hold on, and the attack turned out to be a matter of hand-to-hand capture, with two battalions of his own, and an armored company of 15 German-aided tanks and several SdKlz four-wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicles to support. And the positions in front of him were defended by a maximum of two companies, and the opponent simply did not have anti-tank weapons.
Seeing that the position was about to be taken, he didn't know where these two planes came out, bombing and strafing. He was not afraid of bombing by planes, because these two planes were nothing more than fighters and would not have too many bombs. But the subsequent strafing frightened him, because these two planes were like ghosts of death, returning to the battlefield again and again, hitting hard and accurately, and their own troops had no anti-aircraft weapons at all!
Seeing that more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles were hit one after another, and black smoke was rising, the commander was helpless.
The morale of the rebels was severely damaged, and seeing the tanks they relied on were destroyed one by one, some people could not stand it anymore and began to run back. And the tanks and armored vehicles that were not hit were also put in reverse gear, hoping to retreat to the grove in the rear before the next attack of the two deadly planes.
Seeing the situation in front of him, the rebel commander reluctantly gave the order to retreat.
A moment later, only a few hundred corpses and a dozen flaming iron turtles were left on the battlefield.
"Brother, that's all we can do to help, return."
The two fighters turned their noses and flew in the direction of Madrid, with cheers on them below*.
