Chapter 858: The Air Force is in the service of the Army

A gust of cold wind passed through the shattered windshield and the smell of blood crept into Bateman's nose, waking Manfred, who was already unconscious.

"I can't pass out, the airport, the airport is just ahead, I've already seen the spire of the tower......" Manfred . Feng. Richthofen bit his tongue so hard that the sharp pain suddenly cleared his blurred eyes, and the heavy smell of blood in his mouth did not pay attention to him in the slightest. Because his head was dripping with blood at the moment, in the fight half an hour earlier, the Chinese plane smashed the windshield of his car with a machine gun bullet, and also wounded his head incidentally.

At this moment, in a front-line flight base of the German army, in the tower of "The plane should be back...... a middle-aged officer with a cold face held a telescope and looked at it and whispered.

"Lieutenant Colonel Bateman, will it be a ...... today" Another officer, who was about thirty years old, held a roster in his hand, and said with a very heavy face, "You should be mentally prepared for today's sacrifice." Our planes are almost a generation away from the enemy, and the boys are fighting Chinese in their planes, and it's all about fighting a group of demons......" He shuddered suddenly, as if a cold snap was blowing through his heart, and he seemed to see the small plane with red hammer and axe markings on its wings climb rapidly in front of his eyes, and instantly came behind him with a somersault that was too fast to see.

During the days of silent fighting in the Belarusian corridor, German pilots flew planes and Chinese planes encountered Chinese planes in the sky more than once. Although the two sides could not really fight, it was normal for each other to fight, and almost all the German pilots who encountered the Chinese planes were teased and absolutely insulted.

The thirty-something officer with the roster was the deputy commander of the 17th wing of the German Air Force. It is also one of the objects of insult.

He shook his head vigorously, throwing out of his mind the scene that had hit him again. Look up again. The officer laughed, "Oh. My kids, they're finally back! "Facing the rays of the sun, one, two, three...... ...... 10 and 11, a total of 26 planes flew through the clouds towards the flight base. The familiar exterior color made everyone in the tower recognize at a glance that it was their plane.

The whole tower was as cold as the polar regions. Twenty-six, only twenty-six, where is the twenty-seventh? Why are there no planes anymore?

Could it be that a flying wing has more than 70 fighters, and only so many are left in one battle? All human hearts are like the waters of the Arctic frozen forever.

A Fokker flew crookedly, as if drunk. Through the telescope, everyone in the tower could see that the front windshield of the plane was almost completely shattered. Inside, the pilot's head was covered in blood, and the entire gray-green fuselage was riddled with bullet holes.

The tires of the main landing gear slammed into the runway, and the whole plane jumped upward, several meters high, and then landed again on the runway, and then jumped into the air again, and the tail was uncontrollably cocked high. Everyone closed their eyes, feeling that the plane would flip on the runway and the cockpit would be upside down and crushed underneath. And the hard runway came up with a fierce kiss again and again. But today, the glory of God sheltered the young man, and the tail of the plane fell high, and the plane just jumped and glided on the runway, like a grasshopper jumping around. They even jumped off the runway. Finally stopped on the flat grass.

"Medic, quick, Medic!" The ground crew shouted.

Manfred. Feng. Richthofen could no longer hear it. His whole being was already hallucinating, and he felt a light in front of him. He seemed to be back to the family reunion on his manor a month earlier, with his father. I have a mother, an older sister, and a younger brother......

Blood was slipping out of his body little by little!

At half past five in the morning, the starry night sky receded, and the time had reached the pre-dawn night.

The sky is full of stars, which indicates that today is another good day. In peacetime, the pilots would be very satisfied with the weather, and they would be able to fly their planes in the blue sky without danger. But now, such weather only means that after dawn, they will once again have a fierce battle with the Germans. Although the German Fokker planes were dropped one after another, they fought so fiercely and strongly.

Lin Hu was already sitting in the cockpit of the Fokker plane, and half an hour later, before the sun came out, the first batch of fighters had to take off. Because soon the Germans will come. When the sun rises, the entire Belarusian corridor will be uncovered under the attack of German aircraft, and at this moment when radar has not been invented, the Chinese Air Force, which bears the name of the poor party Russian army, can only use more maneuvers to hold up an umbrella to block the rain of bullets for the poor party Russian army on the ground, Lin Hu and they must be in place now.

Four Fokker fighters supported a reconnaissance plane and slowly climbed in the gray sky, and it was gray outside the cockpit, and there was no sound except for the dull roar of the engines. When the plane climbed to an altitude of 3,000 meters, the first rays of light entered the cockpit of Baden, and he turned his head to look around, and saw that the vast land was still sleeping in silence, and the four fighters around him were dyed red by the sun. I don't know if the people on the earth will be able to see them.

At this time, the voice of Captain Bernhardt, the fighter leader, came from the headset: "Lieutenant Herman, pay careful attention to the top of your head. The planes of the Chinese fly higher than ours. Their favorite thing is to hide in the high clouds, and when they find us, they swoop down like predatory eagles. "What Captain Bernhardt meant was that the reconnaissance planes, although escorted by their fighter formations, were not absolutely safe. If you don't pay attention, you may be shot down in an instant by a Chinese plane flying overhead. It's so fast that they can't even send telecommunications!

The sun rose higher and higher, and the earth gradually appeared in front of Lin Hu's eyes, looking down, a thin layer of white mist floated on the black earth, everything was very calm, except for a few emerald green woods that could completely avoid Lin Hu's sight. It's all at a glance.

It was already past seven o'clock, and Lin Hu had not yet discovered the German fighters. But that's not a good thing. "This shows that today the Germans are not attacking in the direction of our place. We didn't see a single German plane in our defense zone, and the Germans must have invested heavily elsewhere. "It's something that's easy to 'speculate'. The Germans had many planes though. But the amount is so much, the investment here has become less, and the investment in other places must be more.

At least two hundred kilometers away from Lin Hu's location, Redras, who was flying to the left of Captain Bernhardt, suddenly shook his wings, and he found something. This young man who is less than twenty years old, his skills are still very average, but his eyes are surprisingly good. Looking in the direction he indicated, two small black dots were faintly visible in the blue sky and white clouds.

"Pounce!" Bernhardt reacted almost instantly. With four Fokker planes, go straight to those two small black dots in the clouds. The reconnaissance plane piloted by Lieutenant Herman was slightly off-course. Swiftly swept towards the rear of the area where the local plane appeared. Chinese planes have already appeared, which means that they have entered the air cordon of the poor Russian army, and the more you pass, you can see the movement of the ground forces of the poor Russian army today.

"Wirther, pay attention to your 7~11 o'clock!" Two minutes later, Lieutenant Herman first broke the calm inside the reconnaissance aircraft. The reconnaissance plane had already passed over the six enemy and enemy fighters that were entangled, and directly broke through to the inner line of the Chinese planes. Wilt, one of the observers of the reconnaissance plane, must always pay attention to every move on the left side, and if the Chinese plane is killed on the left side of the reconnaissance plane in a 'sneak attack' style, they will be completely finished with one crew.

However, Germany had only been fighting the 'air force of the poor party Russia' for only two days. I have no idea how meticulous the air defense alert of the Chinese Air Force is. The German reconnaissance plane had only recently penetrated 20 kilometers deeper, and two Harrier-turned-fighter planes swooped down on the reconnaissance plane.

There was nothing to say about the next, the wind whistled past the faces of the four members of Herman's crew, and the black earth was blowing in front of them. Three white umbrella flowers bloomed at a height of more than 100 meters above the ground. After only a moment, it sank into the ground, and it was like three small white flowers blooming on the black surface.

Why three and not four? That's because Herman himself has been flying planes. By the time all three members of the crew had parachuted, it was too late for him to escape. Herman himself chose to make a forced landing. Then the forced landing failed, and the huge momentum made the plane, which weighed nearly one and a half tons, look like a fragile little toy in the field. Debris flew as it tumbled, and the entire plane shattered......

This is a completely different land air battle from the sea. As long as the planes are advanced, as long as there are enough of them, there is almost no such thing as a direct sneak attack on the other side's airfield when the ground is full of troops and observation posts of both sides. Here both sides fight hard power!

There are many planes on one side, and the number is superior; One side of the aircraft is advanced, the quality is No. 1. Whether quantity leads to qualitative change, or whether quality equalizes quantity, the war between the Germans and the poor party Russia has attracted the attention of the world powers.

Among them, the contest between the two sides on land was completely crushed by the fierce battle in the air.

But in reality, it was the war on land that decided everything. No matter how fierce the air battle is, it is also to assist the ground war. This is not the time when the Air Force + missiles dominated everything in the war of the 21st world.

Just when the rulers of Beijing, Moscow, Berlin, London and many other economic, cultural and political centers were lying on their stomachs and tables calculating the air battle, the small city of Gosko, a tributary of the Dnieper River, in the lower reaches of the Berezina River, the German Second Panzer Division. Ernst. Major General Vaal was listening to the report of his subordinate reconnaissance battalion. The reconnaissance battalion of the 2nd Armored Division won a big battle, this armored battalion equipped with 20 tanks, 19 armored vehicles, and 17 transport vehicles defeated a mechanized infantry battalion of the poor Russian army on the opposite side in the field battle three and a half hours ago, killing more than 300 people and destroying 15 Russian tanks and armored vehicles. But Herbert's face became darker and darker the more he listened at the moment, and it took a long time before he stiffened his face and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

The lieutenant colonel battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion had absolute certainty on his face: "General, I'm sure there will be no mistakes." After breaking the mechanized infantry battalion of the Russian army, the reconnaissance battalion took advantage of the victory to pursue the city of Lechtsa on the Dnieper, although they did not dare to get too close, but the scouts of our battalion obtained first-hand information. The Russian army there was not only two infantry divisions at all, we found a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, and we also found the Guards logo on the Russian tanks. On the other side of the Dnieper, there is also a large number of artillery and baggage, which is definitely not something that two infantry divisions can have, those tanks and armored vehicles can top at least one armored division! ”

After the lieutenant colonel battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion retired, Herbert . Ernst. Major General Val said to the chief of staff with a puzzled and frightened face: "Isn't the Russian Guards in Gomel? How did you end up here in Lechicha? ”

Otto. Colonel Baum said: "We have no air supremacy, and the planes are really about the same as the movement of troops on the other side. The Russians only needed a little trick to secretly transfer a part of the Guards to Lechtsa. Of course, it cannot be denied that the Russians deliberately let us see it. Those armoured units may indeed be an armored division, but it is also likely that they are not Guards. "The armored forces of poor party Russia are not to be underestimated. The Moscow government, which has always been in strides with St. Petersburg, is not going to form a tank unit of the Guards Panzer Corps.

Herbert. Ernst. Major General Val nodded and said, "It should be like this!" Otherwise, how could the strength of a reconnaissance battalion be so smoothly killed on the edge of Lechicha? But Lechtsa now has at least one Russian armored division, and I'm afraid this battle will be difficult for us! ”

As soon as these words came out, Otto. Colonel Baum and several of the surrounding divisional staff officers were dull. The 2nd Panzer Division of the German Empire looks very well numbered, and if it is full, it will rely on the heavy tank battalion in his hand. Ernst. Major General Vaal is indeed confident that he will blow up the Russian armored unit on the opposite side. But this is on the premise of full occupancy.

The 2nd Panzer Division was not fully staffed at the moment, and when it was transferred to Gosko, Herbert Brown. Ernst. The heavy tank battalion in Val's hands had already been transferred out of the 2nd Panzer Division and temporarily incorporated into the sequence of the Russian 3rd Corps attacking the important city of Mozyr in the southern part of the Belarusian corridor.

Herbert. Ernst. Vaal lost the heavily armored battalion in his hands, and his heart was cut in half.

Although the German army has not yet fought on a large scale with the armored forces of the poor Russian army, the poor Russian army and Austria-Hungary were in a fierce battle before, and the German army knew exactly what the performance of their tanks was. Not more advanced than the Germans, but not weaker than the Germans.

Is the 2nd Panzer Division, lacking a heavy tank battalion, capable of defeating the superior Russian army in front of Lechtsa? Herbert. Ernst. Val was worried. (To be continued.) )
