In the fierce artillery battle, the two sides can be said to have suffered damage to each other. However, in general, the artillery of the Imperial Army still had the upper hand. In particular, the Imperial Army's 155-mm heavy howitzers and heavy cannons gave full play to their range advantage and dealt a heavy blow to the Russian Army's artillery. It can be said that most of the destroyed Russian artillery is the result of these two heavy artillery.

Of course, in the fierce battle, the Imperial artillery also paid a certain loss. It's just that this loss was much smaller than the losses of the Russian artillery, within acceptable limits. Originally, the number of artillery of the Imperial Army was slightly inferior to that of the Russian artillery, and the commander of the 1st Army of the Imperial Army, General Zhang Wei, was already very satisfied.

"Send a telegram to the Air Force and get them ready for action! Destroy the artillery of the Russians as much as possible. Admiral Zhang Wei ordered. This time, Russia amassed more than 2,000 artillery pieces, putting great pressure on the Volgograd Line. If these Russian artillery can be destroyed, then the next battle will be much easier. After all, there was not enough artillery to deal with the fortifications of the Imperial Army, and the Russian army had to fill it with human lives. Faced with an Imperial Army, equipped with a large number of automatic weapons, this will undoubtedly cost the Russians extremely dearly.

"Yes, Commander!" A communications officer immediately went to deliver the order.

On the field airfield, thirty kilometers from Volgograd, it was already busy at the moment. Fighter jets and dive bombers are preparing for takeoff. Ground crews are refueling the aircraft and restocking them with weapons and ammunition. Because the combat target this time was mainly the artillery of the Russian army, even the Haidongqing fighter had two 25-kilogram bombs hanging under the two wings. The Falcon dive bomber, on the other hand, carried four 200-kilogram aerial bombs. If it's against a fortified target such as a fortress. It is also possible to carry only one 800-kg aviation armor-piercing projectile. However, this time it was against the artillery of the Russian army. Even carrying two hundred kilograms of aerial bombs is enough to solve the target.

After the order of General Zhang Wei was given, the fighters of the two brigades of the 1st Air Wing of the Imperial Air Force began to take off. This field airfield has a total of two runways. Two planes also took off at the same time. The propeller rotates rapidly under the drive of the engine, which allows the fighter to gain tremendous power. Two Haidongqing-2 fighters taxied on the runway, getting faster and faster. Soon it flew into the sky with a light attitude and began to circle over the airfield, waiting for the other fighters to take off and marshall.

In just over ten minutes, the two groups of the 1st Air Wing each took off a squadron. 24 Haidongqing-2 fighters divided into two formations and flew in the direction of Volgograd. At the same time, the Falcon dive bombers of the 2nd Air Wing also began to take off. Compared with the light fuselage of the Haidongqing 2 fighter, the Falcon dive bomber is a little burlier. Plus the bombs carried were heavy. This makes the take-off distance of the Falcon dive bomber farther than that of the Haidongqing 2 fighter.

The Falcon dive bombers also took off only one squadron, and after the completion of the formation, the 12 dive bombers began to fly in the direction of Volgograd. Because in this airspace, no German planes were found. Therefore, the Haidongqing-2 fighter did not escort the Falcon dive bomber. Although, the Germans were also vigorously developing aviation weapons. However, it is not known what the performance of their air force will be.

The first batch of fighters consisted of two squadrons of Haidongqing-2 fighters and a squadron of Falcon dive bombers. A total of 24 Haidongqing-2 fighters and 12 Falcon dive bombers. Subsequently, the second batch of aircraft also began to take off, the same two squadrons of Haidongqing-2 fighters and one squadron of Falcon dive bombers. Finally, there is the third batch of aircraft. The number of fighters is also exactly the same.

It's just that while the second batch of planes was still taking off and marshalling, the first batch of planes had already flown over the heads of the Russians and began to attack. For a fighter with a speed of more than two hundred kilometers. The 30-kilometer journey takes less than 10 minutes.

"Commander, the brothers of the Air Force are here." Inside the front command. A staff officer said excitedly to General Zhang Wei. This is the first large-scale operation of the Imperial Air Force!

"Oh? It came so fast. Just to give those Russians a taste of the power of our Air Force bombs. Admiral Zhang Wei picked up the binoculars and watched the warplanes fly overhead. Bombs hanging underneath these warplanes. It will undoubtedly be a nightmare for the Russians.

The arrival of these planes caused panic among the Russians. Though. China and Germany have built airplanes on a large scale, but other countries are still lacking in such weapons. As for backward Russia, there are not even a few people who have ever seen an airplane. So much so that when the plane came, many Russians shouted God, thinking that the devil was coming.

"Oh God! What's that? Is it a bird? Or the devil? One of the soldiers screamed in horror as he kept drawing crosses on his chest, hoping that God would bless him.

"Idiot, that's an airplane, I've seen it in Berlin. It's just a kind of flying machine. These planes are definitely Chinese, what are they coming for? A junior officer said with a frown. Because airplanes are still a new thing, how to use them in combat is still being studied even by the Germans, let alone the Russians. As the Chinese plane flew over their heads, the Russians were simply screaming in horror or dumbfounded, not knowing what to do next. As for dodging the attack of the planes, I didn't think about it. Even those Russian artillerymen forgot to fire for a while. But then they will know that these planes will bring death and fear.

"Da Da Da!" The two squadrons of Haidongqing-2 fighters dispersed and began to circle down, and the aviation machine guns in the nose began to fire, pouring bullets on the artillery positions of the Russian army. From the sky, they can easily discover the location of the Russian artillery positions and launch an attack.

"Woohoo!" The dense sound of bullets pierced the air, and the Russian artillerymen were shot before they could react. The 12.7mm aviation machine gun used by the Air Force is extremely powerful, and can break the human body in two with a light weight. So much so that the Russian soldiers who were hit were very miserable, almost all of them were dead or alive.

"Oh God! The Chinese planes are attacking us, run! "The Russian army shouted loudly, looking around for a place to hide. Only now did they know the power of these aircraft.

Two 25-kilogram bombs fell from the wing of a Haidongqing-2 fighter. I saw two small black dots falling, and then caused a violent explosion on the artillery position of the Russian army. The 25-kilogram aerial bomb was only a small bomblet. But for the Army, the power of such a bomb is enough. You know, even the shell of a 105-mm howitzer is only 12.5 kilograms, which is only half the weight of such an aerial bomb.

One fighter after another began to drop bombs, blowing up the Russian artillery positions. Some fighters were lucky, and the battle they dropped caused the detonation of shells on artillery positions, which caused more casualties to the Russian army.

After the bombing was over, the fighters began to strafe with the aviation machine guns in the nose of the aircraft to shoot the Russian artillery. The attack of 24 Haidongqing-2 fighters caused great damage to the artillery of the Russian army.

And that's just the beginning. When the Haidongqing 2 fighter ravaged the artillery positions of the Russian army, the 12 Falcon dive bombers were finally late. The 200-kilogram heavy bombs carried by these Falcon dive bombers were much more powerful than the 25-kilogram bomblets.

"Boom!"

When the Falcon dive bomber was making a dive bomb, the wings stirred the air current, and the sounders on the wings made a high-pitched and piercing sound. This made the Russian officers and soldiers below think that this was the cry of the devil. Many people covered their ears and watched in horror at the bombers that were diving downward.

One after another, 200-kilogram heavy bombs were dropped, and they accurately fell into the artillery positions of the Russian army. The way of dive-throwing bombs can improve the hit rate of bombs.

The power of a 200-kilogram heavy bomb is enormous, and often a single bomb can overturn the entire artillery position of the Russian army. What's more, in order to ensure the intensity of the bombing, these Falcon dive bombers often drop two bombs at a time when they dive and drop bombs. This directly led to the explosion of the bomb, and a huge crater appeared on the artillery position of the Russian army. The heavy guns were pushed to the ground, and the barrels were twisted off. As for those artillerymen, they have long since lost their bones.

The Falcon dive bomber of the first order of the Royal Sister dived and dropped the bomb with a sharp whistle, bringing the Russian army a call to death. Under this terrifying attack, the artillery positions of the Russian army were destroyed one after another. And the Russian army is simply not able to resist such an attack by the Chinese Air Force.

The first batch of 24 fighters and 12 dive bombers swaggered away after dropping all the bombs and running out of ammunition from the aviation machine guns. What was left was the devastated artillery positions of the Russian army.

After the first batch of fighters left, the second batch of fighters flew in. As a result, the repetition of the qiē was repeated, and the Russian artillery positions that had escaped the catastrophe were attacked again.

In the end, it was the third batch of aircraft that launched another attack on the artillery positions of the Russian army. (To be continued......)
