"Now I'm showing you a picture of the advance of the Soviet army."
In the Baikal Palace, 500 soldiers dressed in traditional Russian military uniforms, but with Asian faces, sit upright in the largest palace, where the Tsar used to hold a large ball, but the elegant dancing nobles could not save the Tsar, and these taciturn, slightly nervous Asians sitting there could save the Tsar's rule.
The men's eyes were fixed on the curtain hanging between the two pillars, on which a movie was playing, showing groups of soldiers marching forward with heavy loads, their feet covered in mud as the snow had melted on them.
There was snow on both sides, only a black road in the middle, not only because they had stepped on the snow, but also because they were moving along the railway line, but soon they were presented with a railway bridge.
The bridge clearly showed signs of destruction, the twisted steel bridge was still deeply rooted in the frozen river, and it was obvious that the Russian railway bridge experts had not repaired the bridge, but there were two railroad tracks on the bridge leading to the opposite bank, but under the rails were thick logs, and the Russian engineers used the original materials to build a temporary railway line from the local forest.
Yang Chao stretched out his hand, and the technicians who were showing it in the back immediately paused, and the picture stayed on the wooden bridge.
"This kind of bridge is very easy to destroy, just put the bomb head up. According to our current observations, Soviet Russia did not have air defense treatment on the bridge. But their air force is still there, and has now been transferred to Teschet, taking off normally every day to bomb Zima. But their infantry was still on the way, and the main force of 1 million men had already reached Tesshet, but the follow-up troops were still around Novosibirsk. I have given you the task of blowing up the railway bridge from Novosibirsk to Tesshet and cutting the Soviet army in two sections during the ice season. ”
"What you see now is a bridge over the Tom River, which is one of the focal points of the attack. This is a railway bridge over the Kia River......"
The film progresses silently, and Yang Chao introduces them one by one, allowing these soldiers to remember the situation, location and topography of the river.
In fact, their job is very simple, just blow up along the railway line, and blow up the bridge directly when they see it.
The only thing to guard against was the Soviet planes.
The reason why the Soviet army is not equipped with air defense weapons, in addition to their eagerness to pursue the enemy, an important reason is that they have absolute air supremacy, even if Yang Chao intervened in the war and announced the purchase of a large number of aircraft, the Soviet army did not care, in their opinion, the aircraft is easy to produce, but it is difficult to train pilots, in such a short time, Yang Chao can not even train pilots.
But they would never have imagined that Jin Jiu would lend the pilots of the entire North Korean army to Yang Chao, let alone that Yang Chao had already let the arsenal start producing aircraft when the Soviet army invaded Novosibirsk.
Therefore, as soon as the Koreans arrived in Irkutsk, Yang Chao's air force became combat-ready.
"The Soviet army was armed with 1000 aircraft, had the ability to cover from Tesshet to Novosibirsk, and in terms of the number of aircraft, we were at a disadvantage. Although our planes were slightly more advanced, the Soviets were more experienced in combat, and our bombers were not suited to fight their fighters. Therefore, I ask you to immediately dispatch a brigade over Jima to meet the Soviet fighters. To attract the attention of the Soviets, before they could wake up to the fact that we already had air power, the bombers had to make a detour to blow up the railway bridge in the area east of Novosibirsk and west of Tomsk. ”
Yang Chao deployed orders, and he only made requests, and the specific implementation of the North Korean officers did it themselves.
Soon a brigade and 100 planes took off to meet the Soviet army, and the other 200 bombers were always ready, waiting for the news from the front to take off.
The air force of the 1st Brigade easily achieved results, because due to the air superiority, the Soviet army mainly dispatched bombers, and only 30 fighters escorted it, as a result, 30 fighters were easily shot down by Chinese fighters with better performance, and 80 bombers almost never returned.
This move really caused the Soviet army to retaliate, they really didn't expect Yang Chao to send such a huge plane, but at this time they didn't suspect anything, because 100 fighters were just pilots in the tsarist army.
So they immediately dispatched a large fighter formation to meet the battle, 200 fighters took off from Tashet, but they flew high in the clouds, fell behind, in front of them were 50 bombers as bait, big grin to bomb, the Soviet pilots felt that they were very lucky, because they found that the Tsarist Air Force was really fooled, 100 fighters flew towards their bombers, as a result, the bombers immediately accelerated to turn around and escape, they had the spare power to accelerate, Because the Tsarist Air Force would never have imagined that these fighters were all empty, in order to be able to exert the fastest speed at critical moments.
The tsarist air force pounced in the air, and before it had time to turn around, it suddenly swooped down from behind, from the clouds, and a large-scale air battle broke out.
The air combat of 100 fighters of the Tsarist Air Force, 200 fighters of the Soviet Russian Air Force, a total of 300 fighters, has not yet appeared in history, and inadvertently, they made history. Later, this battle became known as the Great Battle of Jima, and it was taken out and studied countless times.
However, the process was extremely shocking, although the Tsar Air Force fighters were more advanced, they were all all-metal monoplanes designed by Wang Zhu's team, while Soviet and Russian fighters were all biplanes, including their most advanced I-5 fighters at present, which were also biplanes, with important parameters including a maximum speed of 260 kilometers per hour and an engine horsepower of 450 horsepower, which could not catch up with the latest fighters designed by Wang Zhu.
The LW-5 fighter produced by Lockheed is the third-generation design after Wang Zhu received it, with the world's most cutting-edge technologies such as fairing and high-horsepower air-cooled engine, with a maximum speed of 440 kilometers per hour and a horsepower of 1,000 horsepower.
These two data show that LW-5 against I-5 is crushing.
This is not worth boasting about, the Soviet Russian aircraft industry has only developed for a few years, and it took 27 years for the aircraft designer of the Tsarist era Polikarpov to design the first generation of Soviet Russia's fighter I-3 fighter, and 3 years later 30 years to develop the second generation model I-5 fighter, which is also the only mass-produced fighter in Soviet Russia.
But look at the specific parameters of this aircraft to know how stumbling the Soviet Russian aviation industry is, not only a biplane, but also the body is made of wood, even if it hits, the all-metal aluminum alloy LW-5 fighter can knock it down.
However, the Soviet Union is studying the next generation of I-6 fighters, but unfortunately the development of this aircraft is not going well, 29 years, the designer of the Tsarist era Polikarpov was arrested by Soviet Russia and sentenced to death, two months later Stalin and others saw the test flight of the I-5 aircraft he designed, felt that the performance was good, and thought that Polikarpov was still a little useful, so he suspended the execution of his sentence, but interrupted the design of his I-6 aircraft.
So the better version of the I-6 was not produced, and the I-5 went into production. In the end, Polikarpov, like many great scientists in Soviet Russia, completed many important weapons designs during his captivity, and the I-15 with excellent performance has been designed, and the specific parameters are not far from the LW-5 fighter, and the I-15 is still a biplane.
Even if the I-15 appeared, it would not necessarily beat the LW-5, let alone the I-5. So after 3 hours of fighting between 200 and 100, 110 were defeated, and the rest could only escape back, while the loss of the Tsarist Air Force was only 10 planes, and the 10 to 1 battle loss ratio should make Stalin respect the scientists.
Tukhachevsky was very surprised by the results of the air battles that kept coming back from the front, before the Tsar's air force was vulnerable, so he mistakenly thought that the Tsar's pilots and the performance of Chinese-made aircraft were just so, although the Tsar's previous Air Force was equipped with LW-3 fighters, but the performance was not worse than the I-5, but it was a pity that the Tsar's pilots were too poor, the Air Force and the Navy were all technical arms, requiring a certain amount of knowledge reserves, and at the same time, because of the more chic, it was a very popular profession among the Russian aristocracy, Therefore, the air force is full of all kinds of noble children, these guys are in the air force completely to be cool, no one trains well, and as a result, the air war is closed, and they are defeated by the Soviet Russian Air Force.
The current pilots are North Korean pilots, and the aircraft models they were equipped with before were mainly LW-3 and a small number of LW-4, but as a derivative of the LW-5, there is not much difference between the operation of the two fighters, and the difference is mainly in engine horsepower and aircraft flow, so they can get started directly.
However, it is still a little rusty, otherwise they would not have allowed 90 Soviet and Russian planes to escape back.
Yang Chao really didn't expect the gap to be so big, and he hadn't tried it, he knew that in this way, he wouldn't have played tricks, and he just crushed it.
However, design also had the benefit of design, as he expected, the Soviet army was so attracted by the great air battle of Zima that no one noticed the airship that set off from Irkutsk, flew south, flew along the Sayan Mountains to the Yenisei River valley, and then flew to Tomsk.
Of course, it has to be an airship, Irkutsk to Tomsk more than 1,200 kilometers, to Novosibirsk more than 1,400 kilometers, back and forth is nearly 3,000 kilometers, the aircraft of this era has not yet this range, Wang Zhu's 4 long-range aircraft, although it can carry a bomb to fly 3,000 kilometers, but the bomb load is too small, less than one ton, if the full load of 5 tons, it can not fly 3,000 kilometers.
As a result, 200 airships were dispatched to blow up all the railway bridges between Tomsk and Novosibirsk like a plough without anti-aircraft fire and fighter interception, and then calmly flew back.
The successful bombing of the railway bridge made Yang Chao breathe a sigh of relief, but it was not over yet.
At the same time as receiving the news, Yang Chao immediately told Zhang Nian: "Call a reporter for me, our army will release the latest battle report." ”
After speaking, Yang Chao couldn't help but show a smile that flashed with conspiracy.
"Starling, the gun is in your hands."
Yang Chao said secretly in his heart. (To be continued.) )
