News of the air battle in Kafbas spread far and wide. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
All 44 Spitfires, the pride of Europe, were shot down, and only three of the 44 Russian Air Force pilots survived, and the three recounted the battles they witnessed. Out of fear of public opinion, Russian officials did not dare to disclose the results of this air battle, and did not even announce the news of this air battle to the outside world. But between the upper echelons of the European Union member states, the news of the air battle in Kafbas has exploded.
In fact, the Europeans have long heard that Datang has developed a new power military aircraft that is different from the propeller aircraft, and it is not easy for Datang's military bases in Europe to achieve complete secrecy, but they still do not have much particularly effective information, and Datang's maintenance of military bases in the European theater is basically in the form of concessions, and there are forbidden areas within several kilometers around the military bases, with strict patrol personnel, and it is difficult for spies to spy on intelligence. Although military aircraft fly in the sky, it is obviously not easy to understand the performance of aircraft in the sky by looking at them from the ground.
This time, the Flying Leopard showed not only excellent flight performance, but also a new weapon, missiles. This kind of weapon, which runs after the enemy and cannot be avoided by propeller aircraft at all, has refreshed the understanding of the European aviation community.
The Spitfire surpassed the monoplane fighters exported by Datang at the beginning, and it really made European countries proud. Although European countries generally believe that the Spitfire is inferior to the fighters equipped by Datang, the gap should not be far behind. But no one thought that the Spitfire and the main fighters in active service of Datang have been one big era and three small generations. Datang's jet fighters have all reached the second generation.
6 Flying Leopards knocked out 44 fighters like vegetables, and Russia was in pain and even more afraid. Even if they consider that this kind of fighter that is much larger than the Spitfire and has no propellers may be the most elite fighter in Datang, and the number is very small, but as long as a few such fighters appear on the battlefield, it will definitely dominate the sky. Even if the Flying Leopard finishes shooting missiles and artillery shells, the fuel is almost consumed, as long as it speeds up and leaves directly at supersonic speed, no European fighter can catch up with it.
Europe is not willing to go to war with the Tang Dynasty, so they don't care too much about the slight gap in equipment, and the focus is nothing more than the word deterrence. And when the real war began, the Europeans found that their deterrence did not seem to work.
Datang did not take the common defense of the European Union in its eyes at all, and directly attacked Russia with a thunderous momentum, knocking out thousands of targets of the Russian army in Ukraine within three days, eliminating tens of thousands of Russian troops, and the amphibious forces of the Tang Army are also going at high speed, Datang seems to have decided to expand the war in Ukraine, rather than simply teaching Russia a lesson.
After Hu Fakui came to power, he focused on building the amphibious combat capability of the Datang Navy, and the number of amphibious assault ships and dock landing ships built has been greatly improved. Deployed in Thrace alone, there is one amphibious assault ship and two dock landing ships, which can carry a large number of amphibious forces to carry out ship-to-shore landing operations.
In order to prevent Datang, the Russian army has also built a lot of anti-landing fortifications on the Black Sea coast. At the most likely landing site, in the bay area of the mouth of the Dnieper, the Russians set up a large number of non-explosive obstacles on the shore, including the rejection of horses for combat vehicles, barbed wire for infantry, and so on. The Russian army has also specially built a lot of blocking facilities, including blocking trenches and blocking walls, to limit the progress of the amphibious landing force. In terms of troops, the Russian army also deployed a large number of forces, which were able to launch a counterattack immediately after the attack of the landing force of the Tang Army and drive the Tang soldiers into the sea.
In order to form effective combat effectiveness, the anti-landing forces of the Russian army also pay special attention to building their own artillery. The coastal defense artillery forces of the Russian army are divided into artillery fortresses with permanent fortifications and concealed artillery with mobile flexibility. The permanent artillery fortresses are all made of thick reinforced concrete structures, and ordinary Datang's 500-kilogram aerial bombs cannot destroy this kind of fortress, and they must be used with bombs with the ability to penetrate the ground to be effective. The mobile concealed artillery is even more chicken thieves, and some of the artillery permanently set up by the Russian army on the artillery positions may be false targets, and a large number of artillery pieces are hidden in underground caverns, which are transferred after a period of time, and it is difficult to capture the exact location.
The enemy that Datang faced has developed from a relatively simple tactic a few decades ago to a more and more complex and sophisticated combat opponent. Although Datang has huge technical and logistical advantages, it still cannot avoid all risks.
The landing operation began, and nearly 100 military planes of the Datang Air Force and Naval Aviation were dispatched to strike fiercely at the Russian anti-landing targets on the beachhead. All visible fortresses, hidden fortifications, and even those beachhead obstacles are the targets of the aviation. The H-6 tactical bomber carried a number of ground-penetrating bombs specifically against those fortified artillery forts.
In the air strike of Datang, the Russian army's anti-landing force was crumbling, but it did not completely collapse. The Russian army built dense reinforced tunnels and fortifications on the beachhead, making it easier for a large number of soldiers to hide inside. The mobile artillery was also concealed and not dragged out.
The effect of the air strikes cannot be said to be bad, at least more than forty percent of the Russian troops have been hit, but the natural advantage of the defenders makes it relatively possible for them to retain their strength.
The landing operation is also risky, but the Tang army has more tricks to increase the chances of victory and reduce its own losses as much as possible.
A large number of Y-8 tactical transport planes took off from Thrace and arrived at the landing site after a two-hour flight. These Y-8s are not the Y-8s of the PLA in another plane, but are actually tactical transport planes that basically imitate the C-130 of the US imperialists, and their performance is very satisfactory to the Air Force, and more than 900 have been ordered.
These Y-8s are carrying the soldiers of the 15th Division of Datang, which is also a relatively long-established unit, after the expansion of the Tang Army to 2 million, it has undergone a relatively large reorganization and has become one of the only few rapid reaction forces in Datang. They are capable of fighting in various forms such as airborne, amphibious, etc., and the weapons they are equipped with are also adapted to this mode.
The front command of the Don Army directly dispatched the 15th Division to the rear of the landing site to attack the Russian army from behind and cooperate with the tasks of the landing force. This was also the first time in the history of the Tang Dynasty that large-scale airborne operations were used in actual combat. As a result, a three-dimensional landing operation pattern of land, sea, and air was thoroughly formed. (To be continued.) )
