In the front command of the Imperial Chinese Army dozens of kilometers east of Chelyabinsk, the other 7 commanders of the main force of the Royal Army of the Chinese Imperial Army, hearing the words of Ni Fan, the commander of the Third Guards Army, couldn't help but nodded, the Allied and Allied forces in Chelyabinsk City are indeed very difficult, the coalition forces have a large number of anti-aircraft guns, coupled with the cooperation of the coalition fighters, so that the fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire cannot realize the indiscriminate bombing of them, Let the coalition's large-caliber artillery engage in a fierce artillery battle with its own artillery, and if the coalition artillery cannot be completely suppressed, if your own armored forces and infantry attack, the losses will be unbearable.

Deng Zichao, commander of the Third Field Army, pondered for a moment and said: "I think we can let the fighters of the Air Force give up fighting with the anti-aircraft guns scattered all over the positions of the coalition forces, let the fighters of the Air Force rise to a safe height, and then first carry out carpet bombing of the positions of the coalition artillery, destroy as much coalition artillery as possible, reduce the pressure on our artillery, and create favorable conditions for the offensive of our armored units and infantry." ”

Hu Desheng, commander of the Fourth Field Army, frowned and said: "However, let the fighters of the Air Force rise to a safe height, the bombing on the ground will not be accurate, and the artillery positions of the coalition forces are distributed in many places, and the area of each artillery position is not small, if we let hundreds of fighters and bombers bomb all the artillery positions of the coalition army, not only will it take a lot of time, but also a lot of aerial bombs, I don't know if we have enough aerial bombs in reserve?" ”

Ni Fan said at this time: "It seems that now we can only let the air force take this stupid method, fortunately, we have transported a lot of aerial bombs to Chelyabinsk City, even if it is no problem to bomb the entire Chelyabinsk City and the coalition positions outside the city twice, then order the Air Force to give up the bombing of the coalition positions outside the entire Chelyabinsk city first, and concentrate the targets on the coalition artillery positions." ”

Then the fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire over the city of Chelyabinsk. Instead of bombing the positions of the coalition forces in the east, south, and north outside the city of Chelyabinsk, the target of the bombing was the artillery positions of the coalition forces that had been reconnoitred a few days ago, so as to help the artillery units of the Imperial Chinese Army to deal with the artillery of the coalition forces together.

Because of the heavy artillery fire of the allied forces, on October 23, the armored units and infantry of the Chinese Empire were not engaged in the attack. Both sides speak only with a constant interweaving of shells.

However, what makes the allied artillery depressed is that the people of the Chinese Empire are too playful, and if they have the ability, we will conduct artillery battles in front of the gongs and drums, and why do you make a lot of nasty flies!

Those pesky flies keep throwing bombs in the air, and bombs don't cost money! You just threw it so recklessly for a day, so that the coalition forces had thousands of large-caliber artillery, which were blown up by these pesky flies, and the artillery battle was not fair at all.

And the coalition forces also wanted to return the favor with the other, and sent a large number of bombers. Flying towards the artillery positions of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, but unfortunately when these bombers of the Allied Forces flew away from their positions, and then continued to fly over the artillery positions outside the city of Chelyabinsk of the Chinese Empire, hundreds of improved Yellow Sparrow fighters swarmed in, but there was no help from the anti-aircraft guns of the Allied Forces, so these bombers of the Allied Forces did not approach the artillery positions of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, and they died before they could get out of the division.

You say that you can let the warplanes bomb us overhead. Our fighters can't even fly to your heads, where is there any fairness in such an artillery battle! Do you have a gentlemanly demeanor in the Chinese Empire!

The Entente and the Central Powers, with the exception of Russia. The other six countries had a deeper understanding of the air superiority of the Chinese Empire on October 23, and the Russians had long been accustomed to the Chinese Empire without gentlemanly manners, and had endured the Chinese Empire's warplanes wreaking havoc on their heads, and the situation now was much stronger than when the Russians themselves faced the Chinese Empire, and at that time the Russians had no way to deal with the fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire. Now how to say that the fighters of the Chinese Empire have been forced to an altitude of 6,000 meters, although the fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire bombed the positions of the coalition forces like the same as the fighters of the Empire of China, but because of the accuracy, they bombed the positions of the coalition forces outside the city of Chelyabinsk. Not so much that the coalition forces will collapse.

When the sun set on October 23, the Chinese Imperial fighters stopped bombing the coalition forces and returned to the temporary airfields of the Imperial Chinese Air Force dozens of kilometers east of Chelyabinsk.

A total of 29 improved Yellow Bird fighters were destroyed, but there was no loss of the improved Blue Eagle bombers, and most of the 29 pilots who piloted the fighters died with the crash of the fighters.

Because it was dark, the air force broke away from the battle, but it did not mean that the two sides stopped exchanging fire, and the artillery of the Chinese Empire and the allied forces continued to fire at the other side's artillery positions according to the firing points given by their respective artillery observers, and the tragic artillery battle continued during the night.

After dark, more than a dozen electric lights in the front headquarters of the Imperial Chinese Army were lit, which were generated by the small generators of the headquarters.

Although the front command center was brightly lit because of more than a dozen electric lights, the front command headquarters was located behind a hill, and the headquarters was also set up directly underground, so that there was no light from the outside, which made the front command headquarters not be discovered by the coalition forces at night.

Ni Fan, the commander of the Third Guards Army and the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Chinese Army here in Chelyabinsk, held a piece of paper in his hand and said with a heavy face: "As of 7 o'clock this evening, our attack on the coalition forces outside the city of Chelyabinsk has been going on for 12 hours, and the Air Force has lost 29 improved Yellow Bird fighters in the battle during the day today, and the large-caliber artillery of our artillery unit has suffered even greater losses, with 79 155mm heavy howitzers, 95 105mm howitzers, 140 75-mm field guns and 155 75-mm mountain guns have been blown up, and this number is still rising as the artillery battle continues, the number of officers and men killed in the artillery unit has reached 4,000, and more than 2,000 wounded to varying degrees, in addition to the artillery shelling of our forward positions. It also brought a lot of casualties to the infantry in our forward positions who were preparing to attack. ”

Wu Hui, the commander of the Fourth Guards Army, said at this time: "It seems that the coalition forces in Chelyabinsk City are much more difficult to deal with than we expected, but now that the battle has begun, we can only hold on, believing in the losses of the coalition forces on the opposite side today." In particular, the losses of artillery will definitely be far greater than ours, and as long as we continue and completely suppress the artillery of the coalition forces, we will be able to allow the armored forces and infantry to attack. ”

Duan Qirui, commander of the 10th Field Army, frowned and said: "This day's battle has caused our reserve of aerial bombs and various large-caliber shells to be consumed very quickly. It can be used for about 3 days except today. ”

Ni Fan's originally heavy face suddenly said with a hint of a smile: "This kind of intensity is something we didn't expect, but in order to transport more ammunition and supplies before, it affected the transportation of personnel, but the Allied and Allied forces on the opposite side have transported more than 1 million troops in a short period of time, how much ammunition can they transport!" ”

At present, the eight main armies of the Imperial Chinese Army have only 800,000 troops and more than 400,000 troops outside Chelyabinsk. Because of the problem of capacity, it has not yet reached the front line. In fact, if these 8 armies were desperate to transport troops to the city of Chelyabinsk, more than 1.2 million troops would have already arrived in the city of Chelyabinsk, but several army commanders knew the importance of logistics supplies, so they sent as many weapons, ammunition and other supplies as possible to the city of Chelyabinsk. So much so that it delayed the arrival of more than 400,000 other troops to the front.

Although the Allied and Allied forces had the convenience of rail, they transported more than 1 million troops to the front line of Chelyabinsk in a short time, and transported a lot of ammunition and other supplies. However, the 2.5 million allied army's war materials are much less than the 800,000 Chinese Imperial Army's war materials, and the particularly high-intensity artillery battle like today's has made the commanders of the allied forces feel very stressed, on the one hand, the losses are huge, and on the other hand, the consumption of artillery shells has exceeded the range of the allied forces.

In the headquarters of the Allied and Allied forces in Chelyabinsk, German Army General and Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces, Timmy Schneider, also held a piece of paper showing the approximate losses of the Allied forces after the start of the war.

Taimi Schneider said in a deep voice: "According to statistics, in the past ten hours since the start of the war, the air force of our coalition forces has lost 64 fighters and 110 bombers, all of which were shot down during the air battle with the Chinese Imperial fighters just after the start of the war, and the bombers were all destroyed on the way to bomb the Chinese Imperial artillery positions. In addition, the artillery units of our coalition forces have also suffered very heavy losses, with more than 3,000 artillery pieces with a caliber of more than 75 millimeters, hundreds of anti-aircraft guns, more than 35,000 officers and men of the artillery units, and more than 50,000 infantry on our coalition positions. ”

Some of the fighters of the Entente and the Allied Powers were not shot down by the improved Yellow Sparrow fighters, but were shot down by the Allied forces' own air defense artillery, which was a mistake, but the battle had just begun, and the fighters of the two sides were entangled together, and accidental injuries were inevitable, and if such accidental injuries could be exchanged with the fighters of the Chinese Empire, the commanders of the coalition forces would definitely agree, but the Chinese Empire would not even give the Allied and Allied forces the opportunity to exchange such an exchange.

French Army General Joyles frowned and said: "The caliber of more than 75 mm artillery, we only have a total of about 12,000 guns here in Chelyabinsk, and we lost a quarter of it in just one day, which is really too miserable, but there is no way, the air force advantage of the Chinese Empire is too obvious, and half of our artillery is not lost in the artillery bombardment, but is blown up by the air force of the Chinese Empire." ”

Russian Army General Sonokopsky said with a wry smile: "This situation is already good, you must know that when we Russia faced the Chinese Empire alone a few days ago, it was miserable!" The army's large number of artillery will be almost completely blown up on the artillery positions by the fighters and bombers of the Chinese Empire before they can be fired, so that when we Russia face the army of the Chinese Empire, we have very little artillery support, and can only rely on flesh and blood to resist the attack of the Chinese Imperial army. ”

British Army General Dersunsk said: "But such a battle is so tragic, on the first day of the war, our losses of men are close to 90,000, and the loss of artillery with a caliber of more than 75 mm is more than 3,000, so how long can we hold out in Chelyabinsk!" ”

French Army General Joyles said: "It's a pity that the highest range of our anti-aircraft artillery is only 5,500 meters, and there is no threat to the Chinese Imperial fighters at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, so that the Chinese Imperial fighters can bomb our artillery positions in the air unscrupulously, but we have no way at all, we want to bomb the artillery positions of the Chinese Empire with bombers, and as a result, 110 bombers have all been shot down before they reach the sky above the Chinese Imperial artillery positions." Ugh—"

German Army General Tammy Schneider looked at the paper in his hand, and said with a more gloomy face: "Now there is an even worse situation, today's artillery battle has allowed us to consume a large number of shells of their respective calibers, and this consumption continues with the artillery battle at night, according to the estimation of the staff officers, and then such a high-intensity artillery battle, the reserve of artillery shells of our coalition forces is only enough to support another 1 day, and this is still in the case of our loss of a large number of artillery, that is to say, by this time tomorrow, Our reserves of shells will be exhausted, let's talk about what is the best way to face the current predicament? ”

After listening to Tammy Schneider's words, the army commanders of the other 6 countries looked even more ugly, without shells, how could this battle continue! (To be continued......)
