Chapter Ninety-Seven: Such an Air Battle
After the Russian army arrived in Omsk, it did not rush to attack the Chinese army, and the Chinese army, which had a favorable advantage, only occupied Siberia, and such an important area as Omsk was not occupied, which made Brunov very suspicious that the Chinese army had some big conspiracy.
Although the intelligence showed that the Chinese army had only 300,000 troops in Novosibirsk, Brunov did not dare to listen to the fools in the country to send an army to the west of Xinjiang to regain the imperial territories occupied by the Chinese army.
Yan Xishan and Ma Qi's troops to Central Asia have driven back to Novosibirsk, and the rest is the matter of the Xinjiang provincial government, and their task has been perfectly completed.
The fact that the Tsarist army did not move does not mean that the Chinese army did not, the first to dispatch was the airship troops, who flew towards Omsk unscrupulously, carrying a large amount of explosives and equipment to bomb Omsk, and by the way, the Russian airship troops were also drawn out and annihilated.
Almost all of the Chinese airship troops were dispatched, and all but one remained at the Tunguska explosion center and was involved in this war, which shows that the Chinese army attaches great importance to the Tsarist Russian army.
"Report to the commander, there are as many as nine Chinese airship troops in the direction of Novosibirsk, and they are rushing here!" A soldier rushed to Brunov in a panic to report.
Brunov, who was pointing at the map with his baton, put down his baton, "Panic, hurry up and let the soldiers avoid the enemy bombardment, and the other is to let the people not run outside." Let the airship troops not rush to meet the attack, see what the intentions of the Huaxia airship troops are, and let the troops on the front line keep an eye on the Huaxia army, and once they attack, they will immediately send a message back. ”
After Brunov finished speaking, the person in charge of the airship unit hurriedly walked out of the Omsk government building, mounted his war horse, and hurried towards the stationing place of the Russian airship unit. Soon the city of Omsk was filled with a series of loud noises, and the soldiers and the rebuilt guards ran through the streets to let everyone escape the bombardment of the Chinese airship troops.
When the people of Omsk, who had seen the Chinese airship troops, heard that the Chinese airship troops were coming again, some of them hid in the cellars, and those who did not ran to the air-raid shelters dug after the army came, and these air-raid shelters were built by Brunov after analyzing the information left by Grand Duke Nikolai.
Half an hour later, the Chinese airship unit arrived in the sky over the Omsk region, and they first reconnoitred the deployment of the Tsarist Russian troops, and only after recording the situation did they hover arrogantly over the city of Omsk for a while.
Nine huge airships were in the sky, they blocked the sunlight of the small half of the city of Omsk, like huge dark clouds that made it dark below, and each airship was painted with the huge flag of the Chinese Empire.
"Hahaha, the Tsarist Russian army below hurry up and surrender obediently, or you will all be sent to see that damn God!"
"Hey, old Maozi, I heard that you also have an airship unit now, why don't you dare to come out, shrink your head turtle, come out and fight with your uncle and me for three hundred rounds!"
"I heard that the girl in Tsarist Russia is very white and tender, big Yanma, next time you must try it well, my big knife is already hungry and thirsty, come on, baby!"
"Is your commander's head caught in the door, how do you know that he is always dodging like last time?"
“……”
After waiting for a while, the soldiers of the Chinese airship unit did not come out of the Russian airship unit, and figured out that Guò used a small megaphone to provoke the Russian army with all kinds of words, so that they could dispatch the airship troops. Maybe the Russian soldiers couldn't understand the Chinese language, and they didn't show up until the Chinese soldiers were tired of scolding, which made the Chinese airship troops very depressed.
"Translator, what are they talking about?" Brunov did not understand the Chinese language, and the interpreter who followed him was embarrassed and did not know how to answer.
"They are scolding the Empire's airship troops as shrunken turtles, saying Commander...... His head was caught in the door, and he didn't dare to fight. Still...... He also said that he wanted us to surrender obediently, otherwise we would be beaten to the ground, and he would want to defile the women of the empire......" the translator said hesitantly.
"I thought it was something, it turned out to be a radical method, I wasn't angry, I wasn't angry at all!" Although Brunov said this, his iron-blue face betrayed him, and he was the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops in the Tsarist Russian Empire, and this was the first time that his head was caught in the door.
The officers nearby also turned blue when they heard this, the soldiers of the Huaxia army were so unscrupulous that they scolded their mothers in front of the people of the entire Omsk City, which was too shameless.
"Boom! Bang! Bang! ”
A violent explosion sounded, and the Huaxia airship unit began to bomb, and after they found the target, they dropped the bomb without saying a word.
The Chinese airship troops were divided into two routes, one bombed in the city, and the other went to the Russian battalions outside the city and the positions built by the Tsarist Russia to bomb, this time they did not bomb everything, they only bombed those artillery and supplies and the like.
The government buildings and warehouses in the city were bombed to the ground, and there were a lot of materials in the warehouses that could not be transferred in time, and the materials in the suburbs suffered the greatest loss, after all, they had only arrived in Omsk for a short time, and the number of bomb shelters was not very large, and they had to pack those people who were hiding, so the space was extremely limited.
And Brunov didn't expect that the Chinese army would send airship troops to bomb them so soon, and there were a lot of supplies, so it was inevitable to be bombed.
"Report to the commander, the enemy is actually bombing ordinary residential areas, and a large number of people hiding at home have suffered casualties, I ask the commander to send an airship force to meet it!" An officer ran into Brunov's dugout, covered in blood, bowed deeply and said.
"Damn, how can they be like this, it's inhumane, they're enemies of the whole world." Brunov never imagined that the Chinese airship troops would attack those ordinary people, if he didn't fight back, it was likely that someone would send the impeached Wen Jiàn to the military headquarters or the tsar tomorrow, which was forcing him to dispatch the airship troops, "Pass my order, let the airship troops attack, and the enemy must pay the price, remember, let them withdraw immediately if they can't fight." ”
"Yes, Commander!"
Two kilometers west of Omsk, the Russian airship troops that received the order hurriedly took to the air, and immediately after they took off, they rushed towards the Huaxia airship troops, and their task was to shoot down those arrogant Huaxia airships.
Seeing the Chinese airship troops of the Tsarist Russian airship troops, they abandoned the Tsarist troops below and rushed towards the Tsarist airships like sharks smelling blood.
After a while, the two sides launched a fierce battle in the air, and this time the size of the Russian airship was similar to that of Huaxia, but it was a little slower than Huaxia's in terms of speed, and of course the load was lighter than Huaxia's.
If it weren't for the fact that the Chinese airship troops dropped a lot of explosives to reduce the burden, their speed would be even slower than that of Tsarist Russia, but even if they were slow, they would not be afraid, because they had new equipment.
Although Britain, France and other countries in the original history had airships, they did not realize the role of airships, let alone improve airships better, and it was not until a soldier that they were widely used in the war by Germany. Now because Qin Yu has used airships in warfare on a large scale and achieved quite good results, countries have also begun to study the military role of airships.
Britain and France already had airships, and although they were not put into actual combat, they soon developed large airships for war, and some of these airships were purchased by Tsarist Russia. Their airship research direction is how to increase the load capacity, as for the rest, there is no energy to study, so their airship is not equipped with light machine guns, nor is there heavy machine guns, only ordinary guns used by soldiers.
The airships on both sides are 10 men each, but the Huaxia airships are equipped with 3 Lewis light machine guns, which are their most recent modifications.
As soon as the two fleets of airships approached, they opened fire, and on the Russian side, ordinary guns were "banging" and rarely hitting, because their distance was already beyond their effective firing range. The Huaxia airship is "da-da-da" and the tongues of fire are frantically shooting towards the Russian airship, although the accuracy is not high, but it also hits the body of the airship from time to time.
The Russian airship that was hit immediately leaked, and the airship that was shot in many places quickly lost control and swayed from side to side, while the other airships that were not hit quickly pulled away in a panic and escaped from the range of the shot.
Three Russian airships were hit, two of them were falling rapidly, and the Russian soldiers of the two airships hurriedly put on parachutes and jumped out of the airships, and one of the airships that was only shot desperately wanted to die with the Huaxia airship, and crashed into it. At this time, there were already parachutes, and the parachutes in Britain and France were of the simple kind, not the parachutes that had undergone countless modifications in later generations, but were designed with the safety of the airship personnel in mind.
Seeing a Tsarist Russian airship that wanted to die with him, all the Huaxia airships concentrated their firepower to shoot at this Tsarist airship, and after a while, this Tsarist Russian airship was beaten into a, and the filled helium leaked out wildly, and it was still about ten meters away when it hit the Huaxia airship and fell down at an alarming speed, and soon caught up with the airship that had just fallen.
The Chinese airship troops went directly to chase the Russian airship without looking at the falling airship, and the Russian airship unit couldn't wait to put on its wings and fly faster after seeing the horror of the Huaxia airship, and even had no courage to continue fighting with the Huaxia airship, so they could only flee in all directions.
The airship units of China and Russia staged a chase battle in the skies over the Omsk region, and the Russian airships did not dare to let the Chinese airships approach, and they kept circling around the Omsk region.
Brunov, who was standing on the city wall and watching the air battle, almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood when he saw the bear-like appearance of his airship troops, and he was defeated as soon as he made contact, why is the gap so big?
