Chapter 230: Prelude to the Great War: The Bombing of Dauri (3)

Mike did not just pull up the nose and climb high after destroying the air defense position on the south side, but used the DH-10 low-altitude surname Nenghao, as well as the armor protection on the belly and wings, leveled the fuselage and went straight to another air defense position in the north.

Gao Zhihang also raised his head at this time and observed the bombing effect. At this time, the No. 002 aircraft had also taken out the two anti-aircraft positions on the east side, and the other two DH-10s, which had been hovering in the air, had already roared to the ground after there was no ground threat.

The chaotic Soviet troops on the ground gradually stabilized, and several Soviet soldiers were hurriedly re-installing machine guns on the anti-aircraft mounts at the anti-aircraft positions on the south side where Mike had eliminated the shooters, and even some Soviet soldiers had picked up rifles and fired at the air.

The two bombers did not dive to a few dozen meters above the ground before starting to attack, as Mike did, and the two planes were not equipped with protective armor and were hit by anti-aircraft machine guns, although they were not shot down, but they were also dangerous. Moreover, their target is not an air defense position, they target Soviet planes parked at airfields, so that a large group of targets does not require them to fly too low.

The two bombers, as they skimmed over the group of planes parked at the airfield, dropped eight black bombs, raised their heads and climbed high into the air.

These 100-pound bombs, if they were ordinary bombs, would definitely not be powerful enough to blow up all Soviet planes, but these were special bombs, and they were incendiary bombs that could catch fire after exploding. Moreover, this bomb was actually made according to the will of the supreme commander of the Fourth Route Army, and the commander's brain did not know how it was long, as if he knew everything, and he thought very strangely.

Although Gao Zhihang has never seen the power of this kind of bomb explosion, but according to Mike, 'this kind of bomb can make stones burn', from Mike's playful smile, Gao Zhihang felt that this is Mike exaggerating again, if it can blow up the stone and burn, then what else can withstand this explosion.

However, Gao Zhihang's doubts soon disappeared, and with the sound of 8 small explosions, which was much smaller than the sound of ordinary 100-pound bomb explosions, pieces of fire immediately appeared in the group of planes on the ground, and these fires expanded rapidly, and almost every plane burned. What surprised Gao Zhihang the most was that there were many small clusters of flames scattered on the cement runway, although these flames no longer expanded the scale of burning, they were indeed burning on the cement runway.

Mike was not in the mood to show off at the moment, he pressed the nose of the plane and dived towards the airfield again, only this time his target was not the air defense position, but the aircraft group. When Mike's plane approached the north end of the group, Mike pressed the button of the machine gun, and the machine gun roared and swept from the head of the Soviet group to the tail of the platoon, and the 23mm projectile hit the wooden fuselage of the Soviet plane, which would not only cause the Soviet plane to fly sawdust, but also immediately became a big hole, and when he passed over the air defense position at the southern end that had just been restored by the Soviet army, Mike did not forget to drop a bomb and completely destroyed the air defense position.

Gao Zhihang looked at the planes on the ground again, the fire there was already very large, and all the planes began to burn. And the No. 002 aircraft did not let go, and also followed the example of Mike, and once again strafed the burning planes, where the DH-10 passed, the wind brought up made the fire expand again, and even if the fire was quickly extinguished by the Soviet army, the plane could not fly for a short time.

Gao Zhihang looked at the results excitedly, "29 planes!" Gao Zhihang couldn't help but be excited and shouted loudly.

Mike didn't pay attention to Gao Zhihang, but pressed the nose of the plane and dived down to the airfield, this time his target was not the burning plane, such a fire no longer required him to continue to waste ammunition, his target was the water wheel, the water truck that the Soviet army was fighting the fire.

This time, Mike did not use the cannon, but directly dropped a bomb, although the bomb did not fall on the waterwheel, but fell under the wheels, the explosion of the air wave and the flying shrapnel, not only made the water tank on the car have a lot of holes in the water bubbling outward, but also overturned the waterwheel directly, and it was impossible for the Soviet army to use it to fight the fire.

Unit 002 was not idle, as it attacked a fuel truck, which exploded soon after it caught fire, sending black smoke up to the sky.

The two bombers had no guns and had been circling in the air since the bombs were dropped, and Mike and 002 had been abusing the airfield for a while, until they had nothing worth attacking, then they turned around and joined up with the two bombers, dropped the flames and smoke of the Great Uri airfield, and flew away triumphantly southwest.

Ten minutes later, Gao Zhihang, who was still immersed in excitement, received a telegram from the task force.

"In this battle, 29 enemy planes were destroyed, and the number of dead and wounded could not be verified. The Soviets have begun to put out the fire, but the fire is still very large, and now the two fighters left in the hangar by the Soviets have been pulled out and are refueling and reloading,"

Even if the Soviet army extinguishes the fire now, those planes will not be saved, and no plane will be able to withstand the test of a fire that burned for more than 20 minutes. Looking at the telegram, Gao Zhihang felt a little funny, and he also had to check the killed and wounded Soviet soldiers, jokes, how many Soviet personnel killed could be on top of the top to eliminate almost all the planes of the Soviet army on the Western Front.

However, the remaining two Soviet fighters are a little troublesome, and these two planes will definitely catch up, and the Soviet army will definitely not easily let go of these uninvited guests who have just bombed their home.

Gao Zhihang took the cardboard under the seat and wrote on it, "Two Soviet fighters are refueling, and it is estimated that they will catch up." Then, knock on the partition and stick the cardboard to the glass.

Mike made a clear gesture, then shook his wings from side to side, signaling full speed, and the four planes roared straight southwest and flew at full speed.

Balhu Left Banner, the field airfield of the Fourth Route Army, Song Zhewu stood by the tractor with excitement and some nervousness, constantly looking at the sky in the northeast. He had already received a telegram from the task force, knowing that the bombing had been very successful, that the purpose of the campaign had basically been achieved, and that it should be said that the Soviet air force on the Western Front no longer existed, and his troops could free themselves to attack the Soviet troops in the Zalainuoer and Manchuria and Dauri areas.

It's just that although the remaining two Soviet fighters are not very threatening to the ground forces, they are definitely the killers and nemesis of his four DH-10s.

The tractor was ready, and as soon as Mike's fleet landed, it would be towed to a camouflaged bunker. After checking the camouflage of the various shelters, the head of the special services, Li Huan, ran to the various anti-aircraft bunkers at a trot, and if the Soviet planes discovered the airfield, then only these machine guns could be relied on to protect the safety of the personnel and aircraft on the position.

"Airplanes! Our plane is back! ”

It was Ye Qing who discovered the plane first, and everyone gathered their eyes and searched carefully in the northeast sky.

I saw that under a white cloud, it seemed to be flying close to the clouds, and four small black dots flew over. At this time, the communications staff officer of the secret service ran over to report. "The deputy commander called, they returned safely, they have seen the airport, and they want us to prepare immediately, and they want to land as soon as possible."

Li Huan glanced at Song Zhewu, and Song Zhewu waved his hand, "Here you are the commander, do what you have to do, and immediately prepare to welcome our plane to land, be fast." ”

When the group arrived over the airport, Mike's plane slowed down, circled around and glided straight down to the runway, and because it did not slow down sufficiently, Mike's plane slid until the end of the runway before stopping. As soon as the plane stopped, Mike and Gao Zhihang opened the cockpit shield, Mike shouted loudly, his interpreter had already greeted him, hurriedly translated Mike's words, and shouted to Li Huan: "Hurry, pull the plane into the bunker, be fast, the enemy plane is coming." ”

The Secret Service had been prepared for a long time, and immediately a vehicle towed Mike's plane to the bunker, and after the other three planes landed one after another, they were also dragged into the bunker in the shortest possible time and covered with camouflage nets. At the same time, groups of soldiers were already running to the runway carrying bundles of camouflage nets covering the runway, and they were very skillful and quickly camouflaged the runway, and then they all got into the bunkers again. The grasslands and valleys, where the voices of people were still constantly being heard and the motors roared just now, soon fell into an extreme tranquility. Not only the airfield, but also the tents of the troops in the valley are camouflaged, which is difficult to spot at high altitudes.

Mike, who entered the bunker, as if he didn't see Song Zhewu, quickly gave an order to organize personnel to refuel the plane and load the bombs, but this time instead of loading incendiary bombs, he ordered all the ground crew to load the plane with fifty-pound bombs.

Gao Zhihang really wanted to come over and report to Song Zhewu, but seeing Mike like this, he hesitated for a moment, and immediately went to organize personnel to inspect each plane to see if it was damaged and whether it needed to be repaired immediately.

After a nervous busyness, Mike called Gao Zhihang, and the two came to Song Zhewu, who had been watching them.

"Report to the commander, the air force flight team of the Fourth Route Army was ordered to bomb the Soviet Dauri airfield successfully, blowing up 29 Soviet planes, our planes did not lose, four sorties, and four returned."

"Good! Very good! Your Air Force has made a great contribution to our Fourth Route Army. Song Zhewu said excitedly. He wanted to commend his young Air Force flying team, which was their first victory, and he had already figured out how to reward Mike and the others.
