Section 593 Fortress in the Air

After the Soviets captured Zima, they immediately cleared the remnants of the enemy and then set out for Irkutsk. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

But the road was not smooth, and when Zhang Zuolin fled, he blew up a large number of roads and bridges, so Wrangel strongly demanded that he be executed, because he not only ran away himself, but also cut off the retreat of Wrangel's men, otherwise Wrangel's army would not have been almost wiped out.

Due to the destruction of roads and bridges, it will be difficult for the Soviet forwards, who have been cut off from the rear, to reach Irkutsk for a while and a half, after all, Zima is also more than 70 kilometers away from Irkutsk, there are no trains, just when the snow melts in the spring, the infantry advance is even more difficult than in winter, just through the water network area around Jima, it took the Soviet army a week.

Before they could take the initiative to attack Irkutsk, they were bombed by the air force of the Tsar Knights.

Due to the last major air battle, there was no perfect airfield in Jima, and as a result, in the face of bombing, the Soviet army had almost no air protection, and had to pay heavy losses if it did not move forward.

However, under Tukhachevsky's order, the Soviet army, which had strict military discipline, did not dare to disobey the order, but only asked for help from the rear and asked to send air force support.

Soviet planes made several sorties from Teschet, but they could not take advantage of the Chinese Air Force, and several air battles ended in failure, and as the fuel ran out, they themselves had to stop air support.

However, the Soviet army stepped up the repair of the road and bridge from Novosibirsk to Zima, hoping to meet with the front-line army.

But all this was doomed to be in vain, and as soon as they had made some progress, the Tsar's air force was killed again. Although there were some losses under the attack of the Russian air defense forces every time, they did not give up until they achieved their goal, and they were always able to easily blow up the bridge that the Russian engineers had just repaired, and the line of communication was always cut off.

At this time, Tukhachevsky understood that if the million Soviet troops at the front could not take Irkutsk, then they would not want to return. Win or die.

So Tukhachevsky made up his mind on the contrary, and once again urged the Soviet troops on the front line to attack Irkutsk as soon as possible, regardless of casualties, and capture it as soon as possible, so as to open the line of communication.

At the same time, he asked Stalin to allow him to bomb Slyudyanka, cut off China's communication with Irkutsk, and cut off China's material aid to the tsarist regime.

But Stalin, once again, rejected him, and instead encouraged him to overcome objective difficulties and create a proletarian miracle.

The miracle didn't happen, but the nightmare came, and every day the Tsar's air power became stronger, and every day more air power could be dispatched to bomb.

100, 200, 300, in less than half a month, the tsar's air power has increased to the extent that it can touch 300 fighters of all kinds at a time, and has completely achieved air supremacy, and the Soviet planes have completely withdrawn from the sky, hiding in the airport hangar in Teschet and waiting for an opportunity.

At this time, Teschet was finally spared, 100 large planes, overwhelming, really overwhelming, the first time the Russians saw such a scene, and some people even stared at the air in distraction, knowing that they were killed by the falling bombs and did not react.

The 100 planes flew out only once, and they almost destroyed the small city of Teschet, which was full of bomb craters that made people look shocking.

"We have completely destroyed Tyshet, and from now on, Irkutsk can be free of worries without worrying about the bombing of this place by Soviet Russia. Once again I have to thank our senseless air fighters, who are worthy of the title of knights, they are real knights in the age of modern civilization. ”

Yang Chao held a press conference again, showing a huge photo, all taken from space, of course, the reporters could not have thought of it, they only thought it was taken by the air, these photos were taken before the bombing, some were taken after the bombing, and the two sets of photos were put together, but everyone saw the complete town in the past, and looked at the devastation now, the effect of the contrast was very strong, even if it was amateur, it could be understood from the ground that was like a pockmarked face, and Teschete was ruined.

At the same time, the reporters were surprised, and secretly wondered in their hearts how the Tsar's air force bombed Tashet, and if it was to use airships, how to avoid the well-guarded air defense system of the Soviet army, and how much to pay if they wanted to bomb with airships to achieve this result.

Finally, a reporter asked.

Yang Chao smiled: "Thank you for your concern, but I can rest assured that our army has not suffered much loss, because we did not dispatch airships, and the reason why we can achieve such obvious results is because of a new type of aircraft used by our army, a large bomber." ”

Yang Chao said, asking people to take out photos of the bomber.

Four large bombers, as early as the Sino-American Hawaii conflict, Wang Zhu has been successfully studied, named after FZ, F stands for aircraft, Z stands for Wang Zhu's help, but at that time it was only FZ-1, now it is FZ-3, it can be said that it has developed to the third generation, the second generation because there is no opportunity and has not been put into mass production, only a dozen or so were produced for testing.

By the third generation, this large bomber technology has been fully matured, with a range of 3,300 kilometers and equipped with four 800-horsepower water-cooled engines. It's just that the weight of the engine is affected, resulting in a bomb load of only 5 tons, which is not as good as the B17's 8 tons.

But in any case, with a load of 5 tons and a range of more than 3000 km, it is already an undisputed strategic bomber.

It's just limited by the peacetime, only the Chinese Air Force is equipped with 1,000 aircraft, so the production is not large, the output is small, the price is high, the price of a plane has reached 500,000 taels of silver, which is higher than the price of an airship, so even the DPRK is not equipped, they would rather have a longer range and a lower price airship.

"Look, this is our army's new aircraft, super aircraft, the undisputed Flying Fortress!"

The photos were displayed, and reporters kept taking pictures, and Yang Chao immediately introduced it without losing time, and he stole the domineering name of the Flying Fortress very undisciplinedly.

"With this flying fortress, Irkutsk will rest easy!"

Yang Chao continued to sing on a high note.

The reason is very simple, this aircraft needs to be advertised, what advertising is better than the actual effect in the war, I believe that after this war, the reputation of the FZ3 type air fortress will spread all over the world, countries without aircraft industry, must be purchased, countries with aircraft industry, probably also want to purchase back imitation, sales will definitely be opened.
