Chapter 395: Fearless
In order to relieve the pressure on the Odessa side, the Air Force of the South-Western Front organized this raid on the positions of the Romanian army in the northeast of Odessa. The weather forecast for pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info said that the weather would clear after noon, and for this reason the air force carried a large number of coagulation ****** and cluster bombs, which made the Romanians in a semi-exposed state suffer enough and suffered heavy losses for a while!
Luo Jun did not expect that the Soviet Air Force would launch an air attack at this time, and his own bomber unit collided head-on with the Soviet Air Force! Since the beginning of the war, the Romanian Air Force has tried not to engage in a head-on conflict with the Soviet Air Force, because everyone understands that this will not be worth the loss! The Romanian Air Force was more like an army subordinate, supporting ground support and campaign bombing - none of their most advanced IAR.80 fighters were rivals to the Soviet main combat aircraft, let alone the older IAR.24s.
When the escort "yellow-headed cigars" were entangled with the rags, the group of Yak fighters who took off urgently from three airfields in Odessa caught up with the SM.79B bomber formation that was returning like a pack of hungry wolves! The three-shot Italian-made bomber had limited firepower for self-defense, and was no match for the Jacques in terms of maneuverability and speed, and was shot down like a fly for a while. The Stalinist eagles pursued the clumsy bombers, forcing the Romanian pilots to sharply reduce their flight altitude, hoping to get out of the pursuit from the rear at ultra-low altitudes and get into the airspace above their own positions as soon as possible: their own air defense units were deployed there.
The anti-aircraft machine guns on the Red Army's positions just now basically did not fire a single shot, because it would be beyond the reach of the whip, and the SM.79B would want to escape from a height of less than 200 meters - the shooters who were holding back their fire roared and fired at the fleeing Romanian bombers, and the bullets rained down on the Romanian bombers in the air!
Ten minutes later, except for a few who fled, most of the Romanian planes became torches around Odessa, which boosted the morale of the ground troops!
The eagles roared back to the airfield, and the fighters of the Southwestern Front, after defeating the counterattack of the "yellow-headed cigar", did not pursue, and turned to increase their horsepower to catch up with their bomber formation.
Lyudmila and her comrades saw the battle in the air in the trenches and cheered for their pilots! The most interesting scene appeared at this time - the position of the Luo army in the west was also full of people, and the shouts from the opponent's trenches could be heard on both sides!
"Lads! Beat him up as a fascist, and listen to my orders! "A commander saw that the Luo army seemed to have relaxed its vigilance, and some Romanians leaned out of the fortifications, and the commander's anger came up at once!
A guy, the fascists can't attack it alive anyway!
With the sound of the commander's gunshot, there was a burst of heavy fire from the machine guns and rifles here, and many Romanian positions fell. For the Luo army, a confused confrontation began, and the Red Army soldiers were already nested in the fortifications and basically did not probe.
Lyudmila re-pressed two rounds into the magazine, and just now she seized the limited time to hit the two Romanian daredevils, but the time was too short, and when the bolt was pulled for the third time, there was no longer a Romanian on the opposite side.
Just let them fight, bullets whistling overhead, and Lyudmila didn't bother to look to the west - the Red Army on the position only had to do one thing, and that was to drag out time, and there was no need for unnecessary attrition.
、、、、、、
On October 3, the Romanian Fourth Army was finally ready to launch another general offensive, and in the early morning of the same day, it launched a fierce attack from the northeast and northwest of Odessa!
On the 4th, a Romanian cavalry unit appeared in the area of Severinovka and immediately came under heavy fire from the 95th Infantry Division of the Red Army, which was defending the area! In the absence of the cover of armored troops, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Romanian Army wisely chose to defend in situ and deploy on the flank of the already occupied Severinovka. And behind them, the 1st Romanian Panzer Division was coming.
The rain a few days ago made the cavalry's marching speed ahead of the tanks, and the weather would be good, and it was estimated that the tanks of the Luo army would be able to arrive in half a day to help the battle.
In the afternoon, with the sound of rumbling propellers in the distance, soon more than a dozen "Black Reaper" appeared in the sky! The "Il-2" fighters spewed tongues of fire and threw themselves to the ground, roaring to harvest lives! After a rain of bullets, the Luo soldiers flipped on their backs, and some of the horses that fell to the ground after being injured struggled and let out a hoarse wail! This is a squadron of strike aircraft that took off from the Odessa airfield, given an order to support the Severinovka area, on the open plains they were a nightmare for the cavalry!
No sooner had the Black Death poured all the bombs and shells than countless Red Army soldiers poured out from all directions, shouting "Ula! The tide rushed towards Luo Jun. On the plain, a medieval battle ensued: the Luo cavalry drew their sharp sabers and rode their horses to attack; The Soviet infantry lined up in a neat line, and their rifles were loaded with bright bayonets, and they killed the Romanian cavalry. For a time, the killing sound around the town shook the sky! The 95th Infantry Division decided to eat this Romanian cavalry in front of it, and it must not be allowed to get a respite! - The Romanians must have been waiting, waiting for reinforcements from the rear, and most likely it was the Romanian tanks!
With tanks and cavalry clusters, the 95th Infantry Division is very difficult to hold on the plains, and the fascists must not be given a chance, the 95th Division has no choice!
A big scuffle unfolded on the plains, and no one on either side was afraid! And the cooperation of a small number of naval comrades gave the Red Army a seemingly superior advantage - the Red Navy comrades were using new automatic weapons, and the boys of the 95th Division were still using Mosin-Nagan!
Two hours later, the Romanian cavalry chose to retreat, for their commander he could not afford such attrition, and the tanks in the back arrived!
As soon as the 35 (t) light tank appeared, a halo flashed on the positions of the Red Army, and the dense anti-tank fire of the Soviet army rained down like drops. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 Czech-made 35 (t) light tanks of the Romanian army were hit one after another! Clouds of black smoke rose and the ammunition exploded violently! And then, the roar of the propellers was heard in the air again - the reloaded black Grim Reapers, who had already smelled steel, pounced on the 1st Panzer Division like a swarm of tigers!
The 95th Infantry Division, which had stabilized its position, made a bold decision to attack Sheverinovka, a kilometer away, under the cover of air attack aircraft, and after two hours of tragic hand-to-hand combat, it recaptured this important outer fulcrum on the Odessa defensive circle!
