Chapter 2014: Armageddon (3)

On the Eastern Front, the Germans paused for two days in front of the fourth line of defense held by the Anjia Army, and the 56th Motorized Army, the SS "Skeleton" Division, the 290th Infantry Division, and the 3rd Motorized Division, which were the arrows of the Eastern Front, attacked one after another. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The 46th Panzer Corps, which arrived later, joined the battle group and prepared to attack and advance to the south, one could break through and bypass the rear of the frontal defense line to achieve a surprising victory, and the other could move closer to the main Kleist cluster in the southeast, and retreat calmly when the battle situation was unfavorable.

However, the 46th Panzer Corps, which had fought in the Yelnya Salient of the Soviet-German War with one corps to resist the attack of 20 Soviet divisions in turn, was also hit in the face of the solid defense of the Anjia Army, and the 10th Panzer Division, the SS "Reich" Division, the SS "Greater Germany" Division, and the 268th Infantry Division still suffered successive defeats after sending their main forces into battle.

Relying on a solid defensive line, the defending troops of the Anjia Army quickly assembled and launched a counterattack like a thunderbolt in view of the mistakes in the German attack, and immediately withdrew after destroying the opponent, making it miserable for the Germans who could not catch up.

In the continuous air battles in the past few days, the fighters and bombers of the Luftwaffe have not had an advantage, but after frequent losses and defeats, the bombers of the Anjia Air Force have been dispatched more and more frequently, which has made the originally high-spirited commander of the Eastern Front, Admiral Hoth, fall into an ice cave, and his heart will retreat.

In the southeast, 100 kilometers away from the eastern battlefield, the German southeastern group originally had a strong momentum, crossing the Sersar River one day earlier than the Hult battle group, but when it successively captured the towns of Baiyiji and Tikrit, and smoothly advanced the front to the west bank of Samarra, the gateway to the northwest of Baghdad, it encountered the stubborn resistance of the Anjia Army relying on the permanent fortifications, and the troops of the five corps squeezed on the 100-kilometer front from Samarra to Baiyiji.

The same scene also appeared in the defense line on the north shore of Lake Gadisiye, because the Anjia army adopted a flexible defense, made full use of the combination of tanks and air forces, and with the assistance of river gunboats, several times ate the troops in the salient of the Paulus cluster approaching the shore of the lake, so that the old and serious Paulus became cautious, first built a fortification, and then steadily and steadily, step by step, slowly advanced forward, and the whole offensive rhythm quickly slowed down.

By this time, the troops of the Anjia Army were basically assembled in place, and the time was finally ripe for a counteroffensive.

......

As the importance of air supremacy became clear, almost all decisive battles at the strategic level were fought after successive air raids, such as the Manstein plan of the German blitzkrieg against France, the Barbarossa plan of the German army to attack the Soviet Union, and the battle of the Anjia army to recover the northeast, and this time there will obviously be no exceptions.

At 6 o'clock in the morning of 21 December, just after dawn, the command center of the West Asia Theater Command of the Anjia Army on the outskirts of Baghdad was busy.

The various groups of combat planes, which had already completed their pre-takeoff commissioning and preparations, took off from more than 80 airfields in the area controlled by the Anjia Army, and after completing their assembly in the air, they flew toward their predetermined targets.

At this time, in the entire West Asian region, more than 10 airship radars at an altitude of 10,000 meters began to carry out full-band electronic jamming of the German army's radio communications and radars, and all the electronic screens connected to the German radar stations and radar vehicles became dense snowflake spots.

Depending on the target, the size of each combat fleet is also different, and against those core cities with multiple airports, the size of the fleet is much larger than that of ordinary aircraft. The attack plane group personally led by Colonel Ye Jian, commander of the 26 th Flight Group of the Seventh Air Division, is the largest one, and the group is composed of 45 A29 fighters, 45 B3 medium bombers, and 30 B4 medium bombers of the flight group. Flying in the direction of Diyarbakir, a major military town of the German army in southeastern Turkey.

After an hour and 20 minutes of flight, the 15 A29 fighters flying in front of the group and commanded by Major Lai Yang, the leader of the second squadron, decisively cut into the city of Diyarbakir, where at least 20 air defense artillery companies were deployedBy the time the planes and hangars on the ground were clearly visible, the speed had already exceeded 600 kilometers, and the number on the altimeter was less than two hundred meters.

The Germans have already laid a large number of radar stations near the border line, and have also deployed some radar vehicles, which are fully equipped with the function of early warning, but because the radar cannot work normally due to electronic interference, the German scouts who noticed the abnormal situation in the sky at the observation point near the border line can only watch the time pass minute by minute and second because the telephone line was attacked and disturbed by the Anjia army, and the radio could not communicate with each other.

As the air defense sirens sounded in the urban area, the German pilots woke up like a dream and rushed to their fighters, but it was obviously too late, except for a few German fighters who successfully took off, more fighters were in a mess on the tarmac, and the fighters in the hangar could not drive to the open area as soon as possible because of the restrictions of the hangar door.

"Da Da Da-"

When flying over the airport tarmac, Major Lai Yang immediately pressed the firing button, and the six 12.7mm caliber aviation machine guns built into the wings of the A29 fighter roared together with the four 25mm cannons in the outer wing section, and the fierce bullets were like dark red fire whips, and they were fiercely pumped towards the German fighters whose pilots were preparing to board the cabin or who had just started the propellers.

There are many models on the tarmac, including the air combat Eagle BF109 fighter that the Luftwaffe is proud of, and the mosquito AR240 night fighter that has just completed the night reconnaissance and raid mission, as well as the BF111, BF112, and BF113 fighters imitated from Nanhua A25, A26, and A27, as for the bomber, none of them are missing, on the one hand, the German bomber has suffered great losses during this time, and on the other hand, because it is still early, the most needed fighter for air defense is the fighter, It's not too late to get a bomber out of the hangar when it's time to get out of the hangar.

The BF111, BF112, and BF113 fighters that need to be used to continuously suppress the British Isles were originally the standard fighters of the Anjia Army Air Force, and the Anjia Army pilots knew the bottom line, and Hitler did not want to use them, but now the situation on the Eastern Front is very unoptimistic, and the front-line officers and soldiers urgently need high-performance fighters, so Hitler had to grit his teeth and transfer more than 20 fighter squadrons from the Western Front to the Eastern Front, hoping to regain the disadvantage and regain valuable air supremacy.

After a dense rain of bullets, the German fighters that exploded and caught fire directly on the tarmac were less than one-third of the shots, but the rest were not much better, some wings were directly knocked out of rows of holes, some tails were simply missed, and some cockpits were miserable, or they were broken from the landing gear and collapsed on the tarmac.

As the fuel in the smashed fuel tank spread everywhere, the flames suddenly burst out, and the German pilots who could not evade it were ignited all at once, screaming miserably, and then the fighters that were beaten to a thousand holes exploded, and the entire tarmac turned into a burning active volcano, constantly erupting flames.

After another successful low-altitude strafing on another tarmac, Lai Yang quickly pulled up his fighter plane, only to see the dense shells sprayed by the anti-aircraft guns below flying over both sides of the wings, and then exploding two or three hundred meters directly in front of the plane, the blazing flames were quite dazzling, and the fierce air flow generated by the explosion caused the plane to jolt violently.

Lai Yang turned his heart sideways, his hands clenched on the joystick, trying to resist the instinct of fear caused by the rain of bullets, and the next few seconds seemed to be as long as centuries passed, and when the explosion stung his eardrums and the hood "creaked", he was even prepared for the worst.

Only a moment later, those noisy and noisy voices suddenly moved away, and the surrounding area returned to calm, Lai Yang suddenly looked back, only to find that the ammunition fuse of the German anti-aircraft guns had no time to adjust with the rapid maneuver of the An Jiajun fighters, and the explosion area only stayed at a height of less than one thousand meters, and all the A29 fighters of this squadron who had completed the attack mission rushed through the death zone one after another, and the shell smoke remaining on the fuselage was quickly blown away by the oncoming strong wind.

"Well done, boys!" Lai Yang couldn't help but yell at the headset.

Excited answers came one after another, and just as Lai Yang was thinking about turning around and launching another round of attacks, a reminder suddenly sounded in his ears: "Danger!" Squadron Leader, watch your left! ”

Lai Yang's heart tightened, and he didn't have time to turn his head, the corner of his eye dazzled to see a blue-green fighter plane rushing towards his side, he almost subconsciously commanded the linkage of hands and feet, and the car suddenly flipped to the right with a rapid turn, and just when this action was just taking effect, a dense array of machine guns and machine gun bullets, mixed with tracer bullets, rushed to his face.

While resisting the huge pressure on his body caused by the rapid turn, Lai Yang turned his head to look to the left, and saw that the dense rain of bullets almost flew past the wingtips, and the wings of his fighter plane would be severely damaged by less than one meter!

"Damn, I almost capsized in the gutter!"

Lai Yang's heart was pounding, facing the threat of death, it was impossible to say that he was not afraid, the only difference between a brave man and a coward was to see how to face it. Lai Yang scolded while quickly adjusting, four consecutive right horizontal rolls and a sudden left horizontal roll, and finally got rid of the attack of the tailgator, he quickly increased the speed to 680 kilometers, and flipped to the rear of the enemy plane at high speed, until this time, he saw clearly that he almost killed himself was actually the same model of fighter as the A27 fighter he flew before, the Germans introduced a full set of production lines and transformed and upgraded according to the characteristics of the Germans, and it became the BF113 "Hurricane" in the current Luftwaffe sequence"Fighters.

Lai Yang knows very well in his heart that A27 is a high-altitude fighter, the maximum speed at a low altitude of one thousand meters is only 495 kilometers per hour, but the maximum speed can reach 627 kilometers at an altitude of seven or eight thousand meters, and the current altitude of his fighter is about more than three thousand meters, although it has undergone technological transformation, the maximum speed of the other party should not exceed 600 kilometers, which means that his A29 still has an advantage in speed.

The A27 fighter is characterized by a slender fuselage, coupled with a special hybrid structure of plywood, wood and alloy, compared with the A29 fighter, it has certain advantages in maneuverability and flexibility, which is very conducive to hand-to-hand combat. When the original pursuer became the prey, the German pilot began to twist his body dexterously, continuous rolling and rollover movements, almost let Lai Yang lose his opponent, fortunately, the A29 fighter was ahead of speed, plus Lai Yang, as an old pilot with more than 300 hours of flying experience, had already shot down six enemy planes, and was not afraid of the opponent at all in technology, so he kept biting the BF113 in front of him, and gradually put the opponent into the sight.

When the distance was successfully narrowed to within 300 meters, Lai Yang pulled the trigger as soon as possible, and immediately six machine guns and four machine guns opened fire together, and the dense rain of bullets immediately swept over the blue-green German fighter from the midline position, and saw that the transparent cabin cover of the opponent's fighter plane was shattered by bullets, and Lai Yang knew that he finally avenged the revenge that he was almost shot down by the other side just now.

With the death of the opposing pilot, the BF113 "Hurricane" fighter stopped its tactical maneuver like a snake, and flew staggering for a distance, and the engine suddenly burst out of bright yellow flames like a lit oil can, but the flame was fleeting, and then a large cloud of black smoke poured out from every breach in the nose to the tail, and in the terrible whimper, the German fighter dragged a long black smoke, like a wild goose frightened to death by the bowstring, and fell to the ground. When it touched the ground, it exploded violently, and the flames rushed out dozens of meters high.

With the sound of rumbling and smoke, the German anti-aircraft guns followed the trajectory of the fighter group of the An Jiajun army, and slowly rose to an altitude of about two thousand meters.

The three fighter squadrons of the 26th Flying Group attacked three military airfields located in the north, northwest, and west of the city, as if they had overturned a hornet's nest, and attracted intensive artillery fire.

The German anti-aircraft gunners completely disregarded the safety of their own fighters in the melee, desperately projecting 88 mm, 105 mm, and 128 mm caliber anti-aircraft shells into the air.

At the time when the fighters were fully attracting the attention of the German artillery fire and fighters, more than 70 B3 and B4 bombers had already automatically divided into three planes and flew over the three military airfields that were already riddled with holes, and the round black bombs were roaring and raining down on the German airfield facilities.

Because all the bombers of the Anjia Air Force are equipped with advanced radar sights, and at the same time, the small computer on board can calculate the amount of bombing targets in advance for the first time, and theoretically can drop bombs at an altitude of 6,000 meters into a circle of 10 meters from the radius of the target, but due to wind speed, air flow, surface topography and other reasons, in fact, the error rate at this altitude will reach 50 meters or more, but if the altitude drops to 2,000 meters, the actual accuracy can be controlled at about 30 meters. This is already a very desirable effect for cluster bombing.

The German anti-aircraft artillery on the ground continued to fire at the air, and the anti-aircraft artillery shells of various calibers continued to explode at various heights in the air under the action of the timing fuse, and when attacking the airfield in the southwest, a B3 bomber was hit by shrapnel from the 88-mm gun, and the engine rose thick smoke, so it had to hurry back, and the rest of the bombers continued to throw the aerial bombs in the magazine.

Dozens of tons of high-explosive bombs flew like fish laying eggs in the water, and all of them fell on the German airfield, and in the violent explosion like a landslide, the straight and wide cement runway, the surrounding hangars, and antiaircraft artillery positions were all shrouded in large clouds of flames and billowing black smoke.

In the continuous bombardment, all kinds of metal, stones, earth, wood, or simply flesh and blood fragments of the human body flew out one after another, constantly rising into the air, slowly forming a column-shaped smoke cloud that pierced straight into the sky, providing the most eye-catching navigation beacon for the follow-up strike aircraft group of the An Jiajun.

Compared with places far away from the border, where only A29 fighters and B3 and B4 bombers with a large combat radius can be dispatched, the situation is even worse at the German field airfields not far from the border line due to the dispatch of various aircraft types of the Anjia Army.

At the military airfields in Qamishra, Hasakah, Mayadin, Deir ez-Zor and other places, there were almost fighter planes covering the sky and the sun, covering B1 and B2 bombers, as well as Q1, Q2, and Q3 attack planes.

The most popular of these is still the B2 imitated from the Stuka JU87 bomber, a silver-gray fighter that means the arrival of death, with a unique scream, almost all the time to stimulate the eardrums and nerves of the German soldiers, the German officers and soldiers looked at the air in dismay, how could they not expect that this kind of bomber that their own army wantonly ravaged others in the past, now it will bring them unbearable nightmares.

Three B2 bombers, braving the dense anti-aircraft fire of the German army, swooped down from a height of several thousand meters, and dropped bombs one bomb after another accurately on the target in an almost vertical manner. Of course, it is inevitable that some B2 dive bombers were hit by enemy fire before they could drop their bombs, like burning meteorites falling from the sky, falling straight to the ground without any change, and instantly transforming into all kinds of scattered fragments, but more B2 bombers still dived down without hesitation and continued to carry out the unfinished mission of Paoze.

In the earth-shattering explosions, one by one the German military airfields suffered a catastrophe, those anti-aircraft artillery positions deployed near the airport, although many of them were hidden in special reinforced concrete fortifications, but were bombarded by 250 kg or even 500 kg bombs falling at a large angle, within 10 meters of the explosion point, the violent physical and chemical reaction produced by the high ** explosion, the precision optical instruments of the anti-aircraft guns caused extremely fatal damage. As for the fragile human body, it is needless to say, the smoke of gunpowder has cleared, and these anti-aircraft artillery bunkers are full of stunned and dead German air defense troops.

There were also some falling aerial bombs, which directly detonated the ammunition boxes piled up on the air defense positions to be used, and the violent detonation quickly destroyed the nearby anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and blew up the scrambled German air defense soldiers to the ground, and the stumps and broken arms were scattered everywhere.

On the German airfields locked by the radar of the high-altitude airship, the German air defense soldiers endured the screaming and roaring of the Anjia Army's dive bombers, and endured the dense rockets fired by A28 fighters and various types of attack aircraft. Countless high-explosive bombs were dropped at these air defense positions from a height of several hundred meters, and after a coherent and violent explosion, one anti-aircraft gun and anti-aircraft machine gun after another fell silent.

After more than an hour of continuous strikes, the various airfields turned into a blazing hell on earth, and one after another fighters, bombers, and attack planes of the An Jiajun unhurriedly turned over the airfields and proudly flew over the top of those huge plumes of smoke; at high altitudes, reconnaissance planes and early warning planes were constantly taking pictures, and it would not be long before all the photographs were put on the desk of the air force headquarters, and the staff officers would check them one by one, and if they found valuable targets that had not been destroyed, they would send bombers to strike again.

At this moment, the German anti-aircraft guns on the ground were still shouting helplessly, but because there were fewer and fewer targets worth hitting and the aircraft groups were becoming more and more concentrated, the explosion of shells heard in the air was not as loud as the roar of aircraft engines of various horsepower.

This round of strikes was so sudden that most of the German planes were wiped out at the airfield before they could take off, while the German fighters stationed in North Africa and central and western Turkey hurried to the battlefield because the combat radius was too short, and after a fierce battle with the fighters of the An Jiajun army, they had to return to the airfield in embarrassment, and when they returned, they had to consider whether they could return to the airfield before running out of fuel.

With the total annihilation of the Luftwaffe in the Middle East, both fighters and bombers have completely suppressed the German army.

Only an hour later, the flames and smoke of gunpowder at the various German military airfields had not yet dissipated, and the huge Anjia military planes had once again appeared over the airfields, and the second wave of strike planes had already arrived to strike at the fish that had slipped through the net at the airfields and all targets such as barracks, warehouses, and headquarters distributed in various cities and strategic places.

If you stand on the soil of the Middle East at this time, you can see that every wave of the Anjia Air Force will dispatch 2,000 to 3,000 fighters and bombers, and these planes will be in groups, like a flood of beasts, inexorably attacking the cities and airfields where the Germans have already been badly damaged.

The pilots of the German fighters, who were ordered to come from afar to reinforce in extremely small numbers, as well as the anti-aircraft gun commanders and gunners on the ground, all had a terrifying despair in their eyes, and their whole bodies were as cold as if they were immersed in icy water. The absolute air supremacy that the Germans had maintained in Europe since 38 years has now disappeared with the loss of thousands of warplanes, and what tragic fate awaits the Germanic peoples in the future.
