Chapter 795: Battle of Persia (5)

Exactly like five days ago, when the morning light jumped up from the sea of the Persian Gulf, the two strong wind teams led by Tan Zhen returned the slap to the Soviet army!

If the BF109 climbs to the kilometer, then even the B-type, the weight-gained, Mighty Wind may not be an opponent in terms of climb rate. However, the BF109B, which was less than 100 meters away, was not powered enough, and it could not maneuver with the help of air at the moment, so it was immediately beaten into a fireball by Tan Zhen, and the scattered debris also interfered with the wingman who was about to jump next to him.

Although the wingman pilot was quick and slammed the lever to prepare for landing and go-around evasion, the biggest design flaw of the BF109 killed him at this time.

Undercarriage!

Because the BF109 is too small, the landing gear spacing is very narrow, which makes it require extra care when taking off and landing. Because of this serious flaw, the BF109 purchased by the Soviet army lost 17 aircraft just for take-off and landing training. The wingman had to slam the joystick to avoid the debris, causing it to lose its balance and flipped over. Before the Soviet pilot could escape, Tan Zhen's wingman had already rushed up to the belly of the plane and relentlessly replenished the bullet, and the plane exploded on the ground.

"Kill!" The first time he shot down an enemy plane, Tan Zhen's spirit was shocked, and he couldn't help but shout when he turned back with the excellent small radius turning ability of the strong wind. This loud drink also made everyone's blood boil completely. The Galewind fighters in the back almost bit their tails and caught up with two BF109s that wanted to climb after sweeping them down. The remaining four Fierce Winds flew over the tarmac in a row, using machine guns to shoot the i16s that were ready to take off.

"Come again! Don't let them fly! ”

After killing back and forth, sweeping the Soviet planes one after another and exploding, Tan Zhen still felt that it was not enjoyable, so he took everyone around in a circle and strafed the field for the second time. At this time, many Soviet soldiers had already taken out DP light machine guns, but no matter how fast they were, they were not as fast as the planes, and they had not yet set up machine guns. 24 12.7mm aviation machine guns whistled down, bullets thicker than a finger could easily penetrate the fighters on the airport, and the Soviet soldiers who had no time to dodge were directly broken by the bullets, and even a few war horses that came out were beaten into a blur of flesh and blood, and screamed again and again.

"Launch, launch!"

"Anti-aircraft guns, where are our anti-aircraft guns?!"

After two rounds of strafing, the Soviets finally relented. Part of the soldiers began to rescue the surviving planes, and part jumped into anti-aircraft gun positions. Soon, two 37-mm anti-aircraft guns were the first to open fire. Then a truck equipped with four 7.62mm water-cooled heavy machine guns also rushed out, chasing Tan Zhen's ass and shooting desperately. "Head, that's cool! When the firepower is weakened, will we kill again? ”

"yes!"

"Brother Hou, how many fights did you hit? I swept five and two of them were bf109s. ”

"Third child, I just saw you sweep a colonel."

"Really? Wowhaha"

"It's too late, the dive squadron is coming up. Rise to 5,000 meters and camouflage the attack from the south. "Inside the headphones. The HNA pilot was so excited that Tan Zhen couldn't take off his headphones, but when he saw a group of Yaksha dive bombers quietly circling northward in the distance, he immediately made a posture to continue the attack from the south.

At this time, the attention of the Soviet army was all on them. It was only when the Yaksha dive bombers emerged from the north that they saw danger in their heads. "Dive bomber!" A Soviet officer returning from Spain shouted that the image of the German JU87 dive bomber in Spain was still fresh in his memory, so he saw the Yaksha with the wings deflected and swooping down. Immediately greet the anti-aircraft guns. The Soviet anti-aircraft artillery quickly turned the muzzle and even a few 76-mm anti-aircraft guns in the distance joined in, but by this time it was too late. The Nakshatra has a dive speed of more than 600 km. It only takes more than two minutes to dive at a height of 3,000 meters. By the time the Soviet anti-aircraft artillery began firing, the first Yaksha had already reached their heads.

Two 120-kilogram high-explosive shells burst out from under the wings, and although they did not directly hit the gun position, the violent explosion still lifted all the sandbags and bunkers around the position, and the 37 anti-aircraft guns weighing hundreds of kilograms were twisted and deformed, and the body of a Soviet artilleryman was thrown directly 40 meters away.

"Well done!" Tan Zhen couldn't help but shout when he saw this scene. Eighteen yakshas, like rising and falling ibises, are constantly swooping down from the sky. When a 250-kilogram high-explosive bomb hit a mobile anti-aircraft vehicle, not only was the truck torn apart, but a crater more than a meter deep appeared in the ground.

Anti-aircraft artillery positions, oil tanks, warehouses, and even dormitories, as long as they are targeted by the Yakshas, almost all of them are in a sea of fire.

In less than fifteen minutes, the Avaz Dushanthape airbase, designed by Germany and hailed as the best in the Persian Gulf, has been largely paralyzed. After the appearance of 8 Ospreys, the surviving Soviet planes were completely finished. Because in order to destroy the fighters, the Osprey bomb bay carried 12 50-kilogram bomblets, although it was not powerful enough to deal with warships and fortifications, but it was very effective against unprotected targets. The ospreys were unable to dive, but their low-altitude performance was excellent, so when they flew over the base again, a full 144 bombs were dropped. "Boom, boom." Just like the war movies of later generations, the osprey flew in front, leaving behind a string of fireballs and black smoke, and the corpses and wreckage were scattered all the way!

I have to say that the anti-aircraft fire of the Soviet army was really poor, and in the full 35 minutes of air strikes, except for the two Ospreys that suffered ground machine gun fire losses when dropping bombs, the rest were all intact.

At the same time as the attack on Avashdusanthape airbase, Abadan was also attacked by naval aviation.

"General, it's an aircraft of the Chinese Navy!"

No sooner had Lieutenant General Wavell's jeep arrived in Abadan, and before he had time to cross the river, eight Yaksha dive bombers and six Osprey bombers appeared in the sky. The naval pilots did not know what the British were thinking, and four of the Yaksha swooped directly down to the Abadan Bridge. The Soviet infantry battalion stationed at the bridge was defending against the British ground attack, so there was no anti-aircraft artillery at all, and only two DP light machine guns had to be erected. But the 7.62mm bullet was obviously under-killed, and even if it hit, the first Yaksha struggled to drop the bomb on the bridge deck while it was smoking, and then quickly changed it out and jumped to the sea.

Rumble!

In order to bomb the bridge, the Navy deliberately used the most powerful 500 kg high-explosive bombs! More than 100 kilograms of standard TNT is directly in the center of the bridge deck. Before Wavell could rejoice that the bridge was still broken, the three Yaksha behind swooped down again. In the violent hissing of the engine, two bombs hit the bridge deck. In a mass of fire up to tens of meters high. In order to control Abadan oil, the Abadan Bridge, which was built at the expense of Anglo-Iranian Petroleum Company in the shape of the Birmingham Bridge, was blown into three pieces.

"Damn! These damn bastards! "Single-mindedly thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity to seize Aladan, Wavell, as a future intervention in Iran, never imagined that the efficiency of the Yaksha dive bomber was no worse than that of the famous European ju87, and even the bombs used were more powerful." General, how do we go back? "The adjutant was also dumbfounded, there is no bridge, is it possible to swim across the river? At this moment, the driver suddenly pointed behind him in horror and shouted: "General, it's a Chinese plane!" Finished! We're being targeted! ”

Wavell turned his head to look. Sure enough, an Osprey, having dropped a bomb, rushed towards the jeep at a low altitude. In fact, Wu Kun in the cabin didn't know that the car was a British lieutenant general, he just found that there was a domestic military jeep here, and thought it was captured by the Soviet army, so he rushed over to prepare to destroy it.

"Flag, damn it, raise the flag! Turn left, turn left! There happened to be a rice-shaped flag on the car, and the adjutant was quickly holding it high. Then. As soon as Wu Kun pulled the trigger, he saw a rice-shaped flag appear in front of him, and he was immediately frightened. If this were the British ambassador or something, it would be bad! Thankfully. The driver reacted fairly quickly, made a left turn to avoid strafing, and when two pillars of dust brushed the jeep, Lieutenant General Wavell was really scared into a cold sweat.

Wu Kun did not continue to attack. Neither the Soviet disguised nor the real British could risk continuing to fire. Just as he left. The air raids of the Navy have finally come to an end. According to later statistics, a total of 221 fighters, 29 antiaircraft guns, more than 100 trucks of tanks, six oil storage tanks, and nearly 1,000 pilots and soldiers were killed on the spot in this wave of raids on Soviet field airfields near Ahvaz, including Abadan, Ramshir, and Behebehan.

"Why wasn't it detected early? Why didn't the plane take off to intercept! ”

When Lemechev roared out of the underground bunker, he was also stunned by the tragic situation in front of him. I saw that the base was full of billowing black smoke, the wreckage of planes, the corpses of soldiers, and the tires of trucks all over the ground! As a lieutenant general of the Soviet Union, he knew that the style of war had changed, and he also knew that the air force was very important, but he still did not expect that when the Chinese aviation forces went all out, there would be such a strong destructive power!

"Pack up as soon as possible and order the divisions to be ready for battle." Remechev didn't know what to say, and now was not the time to hold him accountable, and after giving the order to rescue the wounded as soon as possible, he was just about to go to other barracks to have a look, when there was another buzz in the sky.

"And planes?"

"How many planes did they make!" Amid the lamentations of Lemezov and the Soviet soldiers, Xiong Bofei escorted twelve H-7s to the skies above Ahvaz. But the imaginary picture of the sky full of enemy planes making them kill is not at all, only the black smoke and mess of Avashdushanthape Air Base.

"Boss Xiong, we seem to be late."

"These Navy scumbags! There wasn't even a mouthful of soup left. ”

"yes, look it! It's all bf109, and they didn't even fly. ”

The thunderbolts who escorted the escort were killed by the navy and never allowed others to drink the soup, but Xu Huansheng didn't care so much, his task was to drop bombs and completely destroy the largest and most advanced air base in Ahvaz.

"Get out of here! Leave! ”

"Hide."

Since most of the Soviet soldiers were rescuing the wounded and supplies shortly after the naval air raids, they did not expect a second wave of air strikes to follow.

600 kilometers is easy for the H-7, so each one that came out this time was fully loaded with 72 120-kilogram high-explosive bombs. Faced with the Dusan Tape base, whose air defense was almost paralyzed, Xu Huansheng took the initiative to lower the altitude of the plane to 2,500 meters. "Knock knock" A few 37 anti-aircraft guns of the Soviet army opened fire, but not to mention whether they could be hit, the thunderbolts and double-headed Jiao that pounced on them alone forced them to turn their guns.

The magazine was opened, and 864 aviation high-explosive bombs roared from under the belly of the plane to the ground like a bunch of ripe grapes.

The whole of Ahvaz was in disarray, and tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers ran away. These soldiers from the Caucasus, who had never received the baptism of strategic bombing, could never have imagined that there was a big guy in the world who could drop 72 bombs at a time.

And, on their own!

If the 50-kilogram bomblets used by the Osprey just now were only used to destroy exposed targets, then the 120-kilogram bombs were enough to destroy strong fortifications. Strings of bombs exploded under the wings, the remaining warplanes were engulfed in flames, barracks were toppled by shock waves, trucks and tanks were overturned, and the aircraft assembly plant was completely drowned in flames. The worst thing is the soldiers who didn't have time to hide in bunkers, and the network of fire formed by carpet bombing is unimaginable to anyone! When you look up and there are explosions and fireballs in either direction, the only thing you can do is wait to die.

By the time the 12 H-7s slowly climbed and began to return home, Ahvaz under the wing had been completely submerged in the flames...... (To be continued.) )
