Chapter 480: Airplanes, Cannons, and Tanks

"Boom-" Another shell fell in front of the heavy Panther tank that Zhao Daneng and the others followed, but the shrapnel that flew when the shell exploded was blocked by this heavy Panther tank, and the officers and men of Zhao Daneng's platoon in Dingbei did not lose any more.

Zhao Daneng's complaint was also muffled by the sound of the explosion at close range, and Brother Zhang, the deputy machine gunner next to him, didn't hear what he said clearly, so he asked loudly: "Big, what are you talking about?" ”

Zhao Daneng repeated what he had just said loudly: "Brother Zhang, why didn't our planes blow up the enemy's artillery?" ”

Brother Zhang heard it clearly this time, he was carrying an ammunition box, the rifle he was carrying behind his back, half-bent over like everyone else, and said as he walked: "Big man, these artillery pieces of the Eight-Nation Alliance were hidden just now, and as soon as they are exposed this time, our planes should clean them up." ”

Brother Zhang was very right, in a Blue Eagle bomber in the sky, Captain Sun Hong saw from the window of the cab that there was a flame spewed out of artillery firing in a forest on the ground, and immediately knew that it was an artillery position of the Eight-Nation Alliance, so he immediately shouted into the radio intercom: "I am Blue Eagle No. 25, and the 5th bomber formation will immediately approach the No. 33 area and bomb the woods on the ground, where there are enemy artillery." ”

At present, the Yellow Bird fighters of the Northeast Air Force are in a formation of 12 fighters, and the Blue Eagle bombers are in a formation of 6 fighters, Sun Hong is not only the captain of the Blue Eagle bomber numbered 25, but also the commander of the 5th bomber formation, and the other 5 Blue Eagle bombers who received Sun Hong's order immediately flew to the woods with Sun Hong's fighters, that is, the No. 33 area.

For the convenience of bombing. The entire city of Krasnoyarsk has been divided into hundreds of large and small areas by the Northeast Air Force, so that each fighter can more quickly find the place where the commanders of each formation need them to bomb.

Six Blue Eagle bombers, mainly No. 25, soon flew over a forest. Sun Hong, the captain of the No. 25 Blue Eagle bomber, ordered the two bombardiers in the cabin: "Drop half a base bomb!" ”

Then Sun Hong turned his head and said to the pilot beside him: "Don't lower the altitude, there will be no less anti-aircraft guns below." Be careful of being bitten. ”

Each Blue Hawk bomber has 9 members, 1 captain, 1 pilot, 2 bombardiers and 5 machine gunners, while the Yellow Sparrow fighter has only 1 pilot, and the 2 Type 96 heavy machine guns with a caliber of 7.9 mm and a 100 kg bomb suspended on the plane can be operated by the pilot, and the operation switch is in the cockpit of the aircraft.

Six Blue Eagle bombers then dropped bombs into the woods on the ground, not only destroying some of the artillery pieces of the Eight-Nation Alliance hidden here, but also detonating some shells piled up in the woods, and the power of the shells completely destroyed the 36 artillery positions with a caliber of 75 mm at once. At the same time, more than 20 anti-aircraft guns that did not function were also destroyed.

After the artillery of the Eight-Nation Alliance finally opened fire, although it brought a lot of losses to the officers and men of Dingbei who charged, they were immediately bombed by the fighters of the Northeast Air Force, and many hidden artillery positions were completely blown up, mainly because the shells stacked on the artillery positions were detonated, and the power of the shells was so powerful that no artillery on the positions could hold up.

The artillery of the Eight-Nation Alliance stopped after a short period of time, and the officers and men of Dingbei who charged continued to follow some tanks to the positions of the Eight-Nation Alliance in front.

on the Eight-Nation Alliance position. The officers and soldiers of the armies of various countries who have been hiding in the anti-artillery shelter cannot continue to be turtles with shrunken heads at this time, otherwise they will let the Dingbei Army rush to the position, so they run out of the anti-artillery hole one after another. Entered their respective positions and opened fire on the Dingbei Army, which was gradually getting closer and closer.

Zhao Daneng's officers and men of one of their platoons followed the heavy Panther tank and approached the position of the Eight-Nation Alliance in front of them less than 150 meters, and the bullets fired from the position clanged on the heavy Panther tank. There were even 2 shells from small-caliber anti-aircraft guns that hit the frontal armor of the heavy Panther tank, but these 2 shells from the small-caliber anti-aircraft guns were only on the frontal 75 mm thick alloy armor. Left 2 shallow bullet marks, which did not bring more severe damage at all.

The heavy Panther tank kept firing at the positions of the Eight-Nation Alliance in front with a 105-mm tank gun. One position after another was cleared, and at the same time, two Type 96 heavy machine guns on the tanks also opened fire on the positions, trying to suppress the enemy's fire on the positions of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Zhao Daneng also cautiously leaned out behind the tank, and aimed the heavy machine gun in his hand at the soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance who were outcropping on the front position, and the other officers and soldiers who followed the tank also used the guns in their hands to fire at the front position.

At this moment, the fighters in the sky began to hover over the forward positions of the Eight-Nation Alliance again, constantly dropping bombs and strafing, and countless officers and men of the Eight-Nation Alliance became corpses under the ravages of the fighters, which suddenly shattered the positions in front of the Eight-Nation Alliance, so that the officers and men of the Dingbei Army followed behind the tanks and rushed to the front positions without too much effort, and most of the remaining officers and soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance fled directly to the back, and even a small number of them were still holding on, and they were quickly cleaned up by the Dingbei Army that rushed to the position.

The fighters who helped the officers and men of Dingbei to rush to the front position did not sit idle, and continued to drop bombs and strafe at the rear positions, clearing little by little the obstacles for the offensive of the Dingbei Army on the ground, and even the artillery units behind the Dingbei Army were also not idle, and they also shelled the positions of the Eight-Nation Alliance according to the instructions of the attacking troops at the front.

Zhao Daneng's platoon has been following the heavy Panther tank to attack forward, because there are fighters and their own artillery in front of the Dingbei Army to open the way, along the way almost devastated, after attacking the position, quickly advance a few hundred meters, at this time a hill blocked Zhao Daneng's way forward.

Not only Zhao Daneng's platoon, but the entire Zhao Daneng's company and the other 1 company's advance path were blocked by this hill, and these two companies had several tanks to follow, but the slope of this hill and the big stones covered with the hills made it very difficult for the tanks to advance to the hills, and just now the fighters and their own artillery did not seem to have enough to hit this hill, and the officers and soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance on the hill were actually the officers and soldiers of the French Army, using the big stones that could be seen everywhere on the hill to establish a position. The Dingbei Army under the hill was constantly being fired, and the fire was still very fierce, and the French officers and soldiers on the hill had to have at least more than 200 people, and there must be more than a dozen machine guns.

Zhao Daneng heard his company commander shouting to another company commander in the distance behind a light black wolf tank: "Company Commander Ge, let's call fire support!" The firepower of the enemy is too strong, and I don't know how many casualties will be incurred if I rush forward. ”

The company commander named Ge shouted loudly behind another light black wolf tank: "Company Commander Wu, our company's radio station was damaged just now, you can help call fire support quickly!" The follow-up troops are coming up, and our two companies can't drop the chain, and we have to rush to the front all the time without an order. ”

Company Commander Wu of Zhao Daneng's company was followed by the communication soldiers of their company, and Company Commander Wu took the radio walkie-talkie in his hand and called: "I am Wu Gebao, the company commander of the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 221st Regiment of the 221st Brigade of the 22nd Division of the Second Field Army, we ask for fire support!" Repeat, we ask for fire support! ”

A moment later a voice came from inside the intercom: "Please report the coordinates that require a fire strike, repeat, please report the coordinates that require a fire strike!" ”

Company commander Wu Gebao had already found the correct coordinates of the hill in front of him according to the map sent by his superiors, so he immediately said to the walkie-talkie twice, and reported the general situation of the hill, and it didn't take long for the voice of the walkie-talkie to come out again: "The report has been completed to the artillery unit, and there will be artillery bombardment of the target in about 2 minutes, you be careful of accidental injury!" In addition, there will be 2 Yellow Sparrow fighters to assist you in capturing the target after the shelling, please tune in to 6689 and contact 2 Yellow Sparrow fighters. ”

Wu Gebao asked the officers and men of the two companies under the hill to lie down, and the shells of his own artillery were coming.

Sure enough, it was not long before the artillery fire covered the entire hill, and as soon as the fierce artillery fire stopped, two Yellow Sparrow fighters flew to the top of the hill.

Company commander Wu Gebao asked the signal soldier to tune the radio station to 6689, and then shouted: "I am Wu Gebao, the commander of the infantry company, call the Yellow Bird fighter!" Call the Yellow Sparrow Fighter! ”

Soon after, a voice came out on the intercom: "I am the pilot Yu Shun, and my wingman received an order to provide you with air cover, you can attack now, and our two fighters will monitor the position of the hill in the sky and provide fire support at any time." ”

The French Army on the hill originally had more than 200 people, but after the coverage and bombardment of the Dingbei Army's artillery, there were less than 50 people left with combat effectiveness, but this French Army was tenacious in its fighting will, and the remaining French officers and soldiers still launched a blockade when the Northern Army attacked upwards under the hill, but these efforts were reduced to nothing after two Yellow Sparrow fighters swooped down and strafed, and the entire hill was fully occupied after the two Dingbei officers and soldiers paid the price of more than a dozen casualties. A number of wounded French officers and soldiers became prisoners.

The Dingbei Army relied on the cooperation of aircraft, artillery, tanks, and elite infantry to encroach on the positions of the Eight-Nation Alliance in the eastern part of Krasnoyarsk.

In the face of such an offensive by the Dingbei Army, the armies of the Eight-Nation Alliance did their best, but the positions were still occupied by the Dingbei Army one by one, and the situation was very bad. (To be continued......)
