Chapter 857: The Russian battlefield is short of milk

In the east of Czechoslovakia, Košice, the city of culture and industry.

It is a beautiful city located on the eastern part of the river Hornard, close to the Hungarian border. It is the economic and cultural center of eastern Czechoslovakia. Košice is home to three universities, numerous churches, museums and theatres. It is also an important industrial center of Czechoslovakia, and the city has a well-developed railway transport system. Metallurgy and machine-building were the industrial focus of Košice, where magnesite, salt, limestone, china clay and iron ore had a long history, and the East Slovak Iron Works were strategically important for the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire. In addition to this, there is food processing, where canned goods, confectionery, chocolate, beer and wine are produced. Košice is a world-renowned wine-growing region.

Such a city was now in the midst of war, and the face of Austria-Hungary was once again swept away by the Russians. As long as the poor Russian army takes the city, dozens of kilometers away is Hungary!

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" the cannon roared. Not only the artillery fire of the poor party Russian army, but also the artillery fire of the Austro-Hungarian army. In order to block the southward advance of the Russian army in Košice and to prevent Hungary from being burned by the flames of war, the Austro-Hungarian army gathered 160,000 troops in Košice. Among them, the Hungarian army was as high as 120,000. Although the Hungarian government itself was dissatisfied with Viana in one way or another, in essence they were loyal to the Habsburgs.

Košice was a well-developed industrial city in its own right, and the 160,000 Austro-Hungarian troops turned the city into a steel fortress. The Austro-Hungarian army here had enough ammunition and ammunition to squander it and bombard a street with hundreds or thousands of shells. Use thousands of bullets to shoot a bunker. The sound of gunfire spread for hundreds of miles, and the dense sound of artillery continued to reach everyone's ears.

"Attack! Offensive! Offensive! "There was a message from the latest receiving radio unit in the command room of the airfield. This time the voice of Lieutenant Colonel Li Nan, the commander of the fleet. This is a new kind of communication equipment, and when it is replaced by the people, it will be known as broadcasting in later generations. And in this day and age, this thing still belongs to Nikolai. Another major invention from Tesla. The input of receiving radio devices has enabled the era of instant voice communication on the battlefield to come, greatly reducing the dependence on wireless telegraphy, and enabling battlefield commanders to keep abreast of the battle situation and quickly make decisions, react, and issue orders.

In the first wave of bombing, the attack aircraft group did not encounter much resistance, and the bayonet-like bombardment on the artillery of both sides had basically solved the anti-aircraft artillery fire of the Austro-Hungarian army, and the Chinese bombers recklessly bombed the military facilities, pillboxes, and bunkers on the periphery of Košice.

After almost 2 hours of fire coverage and bombardment by aircraft. The armored forces of the poor party Russian army began to launch the first offensive. It was very easy to break through Košice's perimeter defense. The Austro-Hungarian army could not resist it, and the anti-aircraft fire they had placed on the perimeter line was greatly lost in the Russian artillery coverage, and when the attack aircraft group of the Russian side arrived, the remaining scattered anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were of no avail.

Fortunately, the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not count on the outer defensive line either, and the center of their forces was on the city of Košice, where reinforced concrete buildings were everywhere. In the current war, the sand fortifications have long been useless, and the only reliable ones are permanent fortifications built of reinforced concrete. If you are facing heavy artillery, you also need special reinforcement of steel plates.

The poor Russian army successfully smashed through the outer defense line of the Austro-Hungarian army, and then hit the head in front of the fortifications in the city and broke the blood. The commander of the Russian army at the front immediately called for a group of attack aircraft in the rear.

"Request air support. Request for air support, enemy fortification position: xxx, xxx! "Suddenly, a call from the commander of the Russian army on the receiving radio to apply for air support was heard. There was even the sound of heavy gunfire on the radio.

Li Nan, who led the team back after the bombing, did not get off the plane, and the entire crew members were all on standby in their respective positions. Having received an order, the B2B twin-engine long-range heavy bomber, which was refueled and hung up with bombs, immediately took off.

Also taking off at the same time were two dive bombers. Because the fortifications they need to bomb have strong anti-aircraft firepower, it is best to dive bombers to clear the way first. The B2B twin-engine long-range heavy bomber is right behind it!

Twenty-minute flight. A group of bombers had already arrived over the city of Košice. Looking down from the air, the entire northern half of the city of Košice was filled with smoke, and the entire city had been turned into smoke by the shelling. Russian troops are organizing an offensive, while the Austro-Hungarian defenders are firmly resisting the Russian offensive with the help of complex streets and reinforced concrete fortifications one after the other. The battlefield where it was called, at the throat of a street, a small two-story building, a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides was continuing.

The arrival of the bomber group was immediately noticed by the Russian army, and the soldiers on the front line fired a flashbang with a grenade, marking the location to be bombed. The little building was among them. However, the first thing that needed to be solved was not the small building, but the nearby anti-aircraft fire.

Yang Yuantao, who was piloting the dive bomber, pulled up the control stick, and the H3D dive bomber began to climb upward, and the first thing to solve was anti-aircraft fire. And that anti-aircraft fire can be roughly seen in the sky, it is a semi-open anti-aircraft gun fortress, Yang Yuantao has no ability to guarantee that he will definitely throw the bomb into the open one, all he can do is to make the impact of the bomb more sufficient, even if it can't hit directly, it can cause major trauma to this fortification if it is pierced to the side.

Yang Yuantao pulled the plane to an altitude of 4,000 meters, to have a certain direct hit rate, the height of the dive is too low and too high, 4,000 meters is an ideal altitude in terms of his technical ability.

After hovering slightly at high altitude and adjusting the direction of the nose, Yang Yuantao pushed the joystick and began to dive. Braving the interference of air firepower, Yang Yuantao completely left life and death behind, and only focused all his energy on aiming and locking, correcting the dive trajectory while diving.

The pilot of the dive bomber is to have the belief that the dive begins, and life and death are left behind. No one can dive to correct the trajectory while keeping an eye on the enemy's fire trajectory, and human energy is limited.

As a veteran. Yang Yuantao's feeling was very calm, except that his body still had to endure the pressure caused by the dive of the plane. There are no superfluous distractions, and you can master it easily. It's no different from training. Due to the threat of hostile air fire, Yang Yuantao did not directly dive into a low altitude of 300 meters, although this could greatly improve the accuracy of the bomb's landing point.

At an altitude of 500 meters, the bomb dropping switch was pressed at the moment of pulling, and the 500-pound heavy ground bomb fell vertically towards the antiaircraft artillery position.

Of course, this time it will not hit directly, but the drop error is impressively within 10 meters, which is a complete miracle in this era when there is no laser guidance and when bombs are delivered purely by visual inspection.

The bomb was estimated to have been several meters into the ground before exploding. No matter how strong the anti-aircraft artillery fortifications were, they could not withstand such a huge impact, and the entire fortress cracked. If the people inside were still alive, God would have truly appeared.

Yang Yuantao piloted the H3D dive bomber and hit it with one blow, and then his wingman also cleared another double-barreled anti-aircraft machine gun position, and the four B2B twin-engine long-range heavy bombers led by Li Nan immediately dropped in altitude, from 3,500 meters to 800 meters.

Dozens of 300-pound and 500-pound bombs fell, and these heavy bombs completely cleaned the surrounding area with the two-story building as the core. A sturdy fortification that cannot be completely destroyed by Russian-made 155mm heavy artillery shells. It becomes as fragile as paper in front of 300-pound and 500-pound aerial bombs. The two sides are simply incomparable. A 155mm bomb is only about 40kg, not even a hundred pounds. And the B2B twin-engine long-range heavy bomber dropped a minimum of 300 pounds!

The line of defense that relied on the barrier was destroyed, and the Austro-Hungarian army in this position was completely deprived of support, and the Russian marines immediately launched a charge attack on the Austro-Hungarian line. In one fell swoop, break through the enemy's lines and break deeper into the city of Košice. The Austro-Hungarian defenders were caught off guard, and the command could only order the front-line troops to fight to the death. Then the army was quickly mobilized, and for a time there were gunshots, grenades, infantry artillery. Like firecrackers for the New Year, they crackle in the city of Košice.

"Looks like it's none of my business." Li Nan has already returned with a group of B2B twin-engine long-range heavy bombers. Yang Yuantao and his wingman were still hovering in the air, and the two of them still had two 100-pound bombs on each plane at the moment.

"Captain, your right wing fuel tank looks like it was hit, and there's a fuel leak." Just as Yang Yuantao was about to call the wingman back, he suddenly heard the urgent call of the wingman's comrade from the receiving radio.

"Fuel leakage?" Yang Yuantao was taken aback, he remembered that he had seen the fuel tank gauge not long ago, and everything was still normal. But it's impossible for a wingman to joke about this kind of thing. He hurriedly looked at the fuel tank gauge again, and sure enough, it was not a fake, the fuel consumption was unusually fast, and the pointer scale was constantly decreasing.

"Damn, I don't know when I got hit a stray bullet." Yang Yuantao suddenly became nervous. Since extinguishing the anti-aircraft fire here, he has despised the following, and the flight altitude has always been between 600~800, and it is estimated that he was hit by the machine gun below.

"Return now, return now!" I hope I can make it to the airport. Yang Yuantao didn't delay for a second, and immediately flew back.

In the battle of Košice, the poor Russian army fought quite smoothly, and in the face of their three-dimensional attack of air-ground integration, the Austro-Hungarian army, although it resisted fiercely and bravely, still lost control of the northern half of Kosice city step by step.

More than fifty Austro-Hungarian planes fell over the city of Košice, and the Austro-Hungarian air force in Hungary completely emptied all its fighters. Even if a steady stream of aircraft is being produced in their rear, and qualified pilots are graduating from one aviation school after another, it will take time for the two to be added to the battlefield. Now the biggest problem of the Austro-Hungarian aviation forces is that their 'production chain' has been cut off by Chinese aircraft!

Unless Vienna suspends its air force on the Ottoman battlefield, the Russians will really enter Hungary.

The front-line soldiers of the poor party Russian army were elated, and this group of old hairy people were not happy when they entered Poland and Slovakia. Now they are already dreaming of going to Hungary tomorrow. Money, material things, beautiful women, are all beckoning to them. Don't overestimate the roughness of the old Maozi, think about the poor party soldiers in the previous life, and you can know the virtues of the current poor party Russian army in the Carpathians and Czechoslovakia.

Only the top brass of the poor Russian army are worried, just like the Kremlin's Ulyanov and other poor party bigwigs, who are all extremely wary of the same object - the Second Reich Wehrmacht. At least three hundred thousand Wehrmacht troops deployed around the perimeter of the Belarusian corridor.

Ulyanov did not believe that the Germans would watch Austria-Hungary lose face and suffer heavy losses. He firmly believed that the Germans would act against the poor Russian army the moment it entered Hungary.

In the same way, Beijing also believes that the two sides can be described as heroes who see the same thing.

"The flight school of the Germans, the results are very prominent. Hundreds of qualified pilots enter the military every month. It's just that their planes are still inferior to ours. But the number of planes we have deployed in Russia is not large, and at the same time, the first batch of pilots in East and West Russia itself has just entered the army, which can only be said to be a passing grade, and it is still very early to fully mature.

Although we have now mobilized a large number of planes and pilots to poor party Russia, by the time of next month's arrival, we will only be able to gather about 400 planes in poor party Russia, including about 200 fighters, including poor party Russia's own air force. At present, the number of German fighters is conservatively estimated to be more than 2,000. There are at least 1500 fighters among them!

How long has the Germans stopped firing? If they were to prepare for an attack on poor Russia, the aviation forces would have been laid out by now. That shot was definitely a thunderbolt. But what about the Chinese planes in the territory of the poor party? Although targeted adjustments have also been made, it is impossible to say that it is impossible to completely restrain Germany's air strategy.

At least 1000 fighters, the Germans will have at least 1000 fighters ready.

The 5:1 quantity crushing is very weighty. Europeans are already familiar with the performance of various types of Chinese aircraft, although Chinese aircraft are still No.1 in the world's aircraft industry, but it is impossible to play the supernatural battle loss ratio as at the beginning.

For example, in the last air raid on Libya by the Ottoman aircraft carrier group, during the entire operation, carrier-based aircraft shot down hundreds of French fighters before and after, but they themselves also fell 27 in front of French fighters and French anti-aircraft fire.

No one dares to underestimate the tactical literacy of the Germans, let alone the performance of the Germans' aircraft. If the Gallic rooster can bring the ratio of enemy losses to 4:1, will the Germans be worse than the Gallic rooster?

Nobody thinks so. Therefore, the situation that the poor party Russia is about to face, Beijing also feels a little tricky. In order to supplement the Ottoman battlefield, in order to explode the aircraft carrier fleet, the Russian battlefield was short of milk. (To be continued.) )
