I saw the aerial bombs falling from the sky getting closer and closer to the train station. Francis hurriedly got down from the roof and followed the officers to the nearby forest, while running, Francis prayed that the Chinese heavy bombers would not drop bombs into the forest to the north, because there was a large arsenal hidden, almost all the large-caliber shells needed for the front line were stored there, said to be an arsenal, in fact, just a few wooden houses, as long as an aerial bomb fell there, not only the arsenal and the forest will' There was no such thing as a republican army, and the front-line artillery of the republican army would immediately lose its advantage, and perhaps even lead to a failure of the attack, and as for whether the tsarist army would take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, only the tsarist government knew.

Francis fled with some Russian officers into the forest south of the railway station, looking across the railway line at the forest to the north, now, it was still quiet, no bombs had fallen there, but on the side of the railway station, the smoke could already be seen, and the high-fire fire from the air defense positions near the railway station was more intense. The Russian army almost exerted the speed of the high-firing guns to the extreme, desperately projecting shells into the sky, hoping to intercept the "vulture" heavy bombers painted with the emblem of the Russian Imperial Far East Army with that thin barrage.

Francis knew that on the front line, the Russian republican army deployed fighter units and bomber units, but now, there is no shadow of Russian fighters in the sky, but there are some Chinese-made "Wasp" fighters, like the "Vulture" heavy bombers, these "Wasp" fighters are also painted with the logo of the Russian Imperial Far East Army, and are hovering in the sky, providing air alert for the bomber formations, and from time to time there will be a few "Wasp" swooping down from the sky and sweeping with machine guns on the planes. Shoot at those high-altitude artillery positions hidden in the forest and suppress the fire of high-altitude artillery guns.

Because there were not many "vultures" attacking, only more than 20 of them, this sudden air raid lasted only a few minutes before it ended, and no more aerial bombs fell in the sky, and the bombers quickly turned around and flew to the east, only those high-altitude "firing" guns were still frantically pouring artillery fire on those distant "vultures", and the "'flowers' of shells" followed the bombers to the east in turn, as if they were sending off salutes.

"Thank goodness they didn't hit the 'medicine' depot!"

Some of the Russian officers beside Francis cheered, and indeed, the forest to the north was still quiet. Under the cover of high-altitude "shooting" guns, the ammunition "ammunition" depot there seems to be very safe.

But the crowd didn't get excited for long, and soon Francis heard the dull "hum" of the engines, and then he saw two strange-looking large planes flying at high speed from east to west, at a very low altitude from the ground, and the flight altitude would not exceed two hundred meters, and the flight speed was very fast, faster than the flight speed of a fighter plane.

At this time, the two strange-looking planes had already swept past the railway station, but they did not attack the railway station, and people couldn't help but feel a little 'confused' and 'confused' for a while, wondering if these two planes were bombers.

More importantly, because the anti-aircraft "firing" artillery was seeing off the group of "vultures," even if these two high-speed planes suddenly appeared, the high-firing artillery fire of the air defense position could not react in time, and it was impossible to quickly adjust the 'firing' angle and 'firing' the elements, so when the two planes with only one wing swept over the railway station. It was not intercepted by any high-altitude gunfire, only a few futile sounds of some machine guns, but they were immediately suppressed by the machine guns in the bow, tail and side of the aircraft, and they soon became dumb.

The sudden appearance of the two high-speed planes not only had one wing, but also only two engines, a flat, fully enclosed nacelle, and streamlined fairings mounted on the two nose landing gears, which seemed to explain why they had such high flight speeds.

When the machine-gun in the tail of the plane opened fire, Francis immediately realized that these were two bombers, otherwise they would not have had firepower for self-defense.

Sure enough, after passing over the railway station, the two high-speed planes quickly pounced on the forest north of the railway line, and immediately dropped several heavy bombs, and before the bombs landed, the two planes had begun to rush quickly into the air, and in the deafening roar of the engines, the flight speed of the planes could only be described as "galloping", and if European aircraft designers were now standing by Francis's side, they would definitely be as surprised and curious as discovering a new continent.

In fact, Francis and the Russian officers around him were now dumbfounded, they had never seen any plane fly so fast, and they had never heard the engine noise of any plane so shocking to the nerves, especially when the plane was pulled up from low altitude to high altitude, the sound of the engine suddenly changed tone like a 'symphony'.

Eventually, the sound of an explosion from the forest north put an end to Francis's stunnedness, and then. Francis saw a cloud of black smoke rising into the sky above the forest to the north, accompanied by a huge fireball, like the flames of the doomsday, engulfing everything, including the forest, almost instantly.

Almost immediately, the powerful air 'wave' blew into the forest to the south, and Francis and the Russian officers could only curl up on the ground, enduring the scorching heat and choking smoke in the roaring wind, although no one was injured, but many of their military hats were blown away by the air 'wave'.

It took a while to calm down, but the explosions were still loud, and Francis looked up to the north, where it was completely engulfed in fire and smoke, while the roar of the plane's engines in the sky could still be heard.

"A new bomber, a new high-speed bomber."

Francis came to his conclusion almost immediately, he quickly jumped up from the ground, patted the dirt and branches on his body, and immediately ran out of the forest and towards the train station, and now, he really needed to immediately draw up a report on the new high-speed bomber to British military intelligence.

……

While Francis was urging the telegraph operators at the train station to repair the telegraph lines destroyed in the air raid as soon as possible, in another forest more than 20 kilometers east of the railway station that had been attacked by the Chinese Air Force volunteers. A Russian military officer was also sending a telegram to the rear, but he was using a wireless telegraph transceiver that did not have to rely on wires to transmit signals.

This Russian officer is actually a Chinese, to be precise, an intelligence officer, Gong Qingxiu, the liaison officer of Zhang Zongchang, commander of the Russian Imperial Far East Army.

Gong Qingxiu is now not only Zhang Zongchang's liaison, but also a special commissioner of the Military Intelligence Agency, and now, this forest is his intelligence substation, where he works with several intelligence agents. Relevant information collected in the past few days is being transmitted back to the Military Intelligence Agency.

Now that the draft of the telegram has been prepared, the telegraph operator is taking the telegram, and Gong Qingxiu is standing by the radio, his left hand stuffed into his military uniform pocket, and his right hand is holding a paper cigarette, leisurely 'smoking' the Chinese cigarette.

Although the defense line of the tsarist army was shaken for a while, Gong Qingxiu was not worried that the defense line would soon be lost, because just now he had seen the bomber formation of the Chinese Air Force Volunteer Flying Unit sweeping overhead and flying towards the railway station occupied by the Russian republicans, and in that railway station, the Russian army was hoarding a large number of munitions and shells. As long as the air raid goes well, Gong Qingxiu believes that the general offensive of the Russian republican army will be delayed for at least a few days, then the tsarist army can hold out here for a few more days, and then the German eastern front will also have a few more days off until the Russian Provisional Government ends the civil war.

Just a few minutes ago, while talking on the phone with the front line, Gong Qingxiu seemed to hear a violent explosion, and he thought that the Chinese Air Force had succeeded in destroying the ammunition "medicine" depot.

In fact, Gong Qingxiu provided information about the ammunition depot hidden in the forest north of the railway station to the Kyakhta Air Force Command, so that the Chinese Air Force could grasp the exact location of the ammunition depot, and the source of this information was due to the intelligence network built by the Military Intelligence Bureau along the Trans-Siberian Railway.

On the other hand, Gong Qingxiu did not think that the air force and intelligence network alone could stop the advance of the Russian republican army, and he was well aware that the current Tsarist government of the Russian Empire was only surviving, and that this tsarist government had completely lost the trust of the people, and that now, not only was the west full of its enemies, but even the Russian Far East Primorsky region in the east was also in the army uprising against the tsarist system. Now, in the face of attacks from the east and west, the Tsarist government can only be trapped in this corner of Baikal Port, with neither strategic space nor the courage to fight, from the tsar himself to those nobles, the top priority now is which country to seek refuge after the defeat, how can such a regime be overturned?

What's more, even within the Baikal regime, there were now saboteurs, the apolitical fǔists assassinating the nobles in the city, the Bolsheviks instigating mutiny in the army, and even the Far Eastern Army being instigated by the Bruine elements, and it was only a matter of time before the Baikal Tsarist regime collapsed.

Therefore, Gong Qingxiu decided to report the situation here to the Military Intelligence Bureau now, so that the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Central Government could adjust their strategies in time to deal with the situation after the sudden fall of the Tsarist Government in Baikal.

Just after the telegraph operator finished shooting the telegram, the roar of the aircraft engine was heard in the sky, Gong Qingxiu looked up and saw the group of "vultures" and "wasps", and he knew that the air force had returned victoriously.

"No amount of military power can support a rotten tsarist regime."

Gong Qingxiu sighed, threw the cigarette butt in his hand at his feet, and then stepped on it with his foot, and at the same time took the translation of the military intelligence bureau reply telegram handed over by the telegraph operator, and hurriedly read it.

"Call back to the center, we are ready, as long as the center gives an order, the operation can be launched!"

Gong Qingxiu immediately called back, and then, raised his head again, looking at the sky, at this time, the Chinese Air Force volunteer flight unit had disappeared from view, but the roar of the aircraft engine was still clearly audible.

Looking at the faint engine trail in the sky, Gong Qingxiu sighed, he knew that with the existence of such an air force, the burden on his shoulders would be a little lighter, and the Russian Imperial Far East Army would also be covered from the air.
