Chapter 895: Night Bombardment

On the evening of July 20, 1914, in the joint command headquarters of the League of Nations in the city of Ufa, Russia, Schlieffen, the temporary commander-in-chief of the Navy, Army and Air Force of the League of Nations, who was also the commander of the Eurasian theater, said to the military representatives of European countries with a gloomy face: "Today's attack on the defense line of the Chinese Empire east of the Ural Mountains is a little not optimistic, especially the loss of the air force is too great, and in just one day's offensive, the air force of our Allied and Allied countries has lost more than 1,200 fighters of various types. You must know that the nine countries of our Entente and Allied countries have only gathered more than 4,000 new fighters for this campaign, and if we continue to lose at this rate, the air supremacy over the Ural Mountains will soon fall into the hands of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire, and it will be bad news for the ground forces attacking our countries. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

British military representative at the Joint Command Headquarters British War Secretary Henry Wiley immediately said: "It can be seen from the reaction of the air forces of various countries that the new fighters newly equipped by the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire are far superior in performance to the new fighters of all the countries of our Entente and Allied Powers, which makes our air forces pay a heavy price in the air battle on the first day, and the losses brought to the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire are not large, if this problem cannot be solved, Continuing to attack the Chinese Imperial defensive line east of the Ural Mountains, the land forces of all the countries of our Entente and Allied Powers must be prepared for heavy casualties. ”

Italy's military representative at the Joint Command Headquarters Italian Navy Minister Roberte frowned and said: "Because air supremacy is in the hands of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire, the losses of our ground forces in the offensive are not small, and our Italian army units have lost nearly 9,000 people in just this day. Otherwise, the casualties would have been too great, and there would have been no results. ”

At this time, Russian Army Minister Korrowsky, the Russian military representative at the Joint Command Headquarters, said: "No matter whether or not the air forces of various countries can gain air supremacy, it is impossible for the offensive of our ground forces of various countries to stop, even if all the more than 4,000 fighters gathered by the air forces of various countries are lost, and it is impossible to stop the offensive against the defense line of the Chinese Empire east of the Ural Mountains by relying on the air defense weapons equipped by the army units of various countries. ”

Italian Admiral Minister Roberte listened to the words of the Russian War Minister Gorrosky, and did not refute it out loud, you must know that in today's ground offensive, the Italian Army lost nearly 9,000 people, but the Russian Army lost more than 80,000 people, which is much more than the Italian Army.

Schliefen, the commander-in-chief of this Ural campaign, nodded and agreed with what the Russian War Minister Gorrosky said, "Ladies and gentlemen, now that our Entente and Allied powers have concentrated such a huge army, it is impossible to give up halfway, even if it is filled with human lives, we must break through the defense line of the Chinese Empire east of the Ural Mountains!" This evening, the army units of all countries were ordered to continue the defense line of the Chinese Empire and launch an offensive, and the warplanes of both sides could not take off at night, which was still very beneficial to the ground offensive forces of our armies. ”

The military representatives of other countries all agreed with the continuation of the offensive at night, and if there was no air supremacy during the day, the ground offensive units of the armies of various countries would be bombed by the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire, and the land forces of various countries would have lost a total of 200,000 men in one day, and a large part of them were lost in the bombing, and if they attacked at night, at least there would have been no bombing of the ground offensive units of the land forces of the various countries by the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Imperial Air Force.

In fact, the Entente and the Allied countries don't know that the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Chinese Air Force already has fighters that can be used for night battles, not counting the fighters that Lin Daxin tossed from the other 2 time and space, the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire is currently equipped with several new fighters, all equipped with night vision radars, which can fully perform night bombing missions, of course, if you want to conduct air combat at night, the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Chinese Air Force can only rely on the fighters of the other 2 time and space.

On the night of 20 July, the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Chinese Air Force gave a great gift to the ground offensive units of the armies of various countries of the League of Nations, and when the ground offensive units of the armies of these countries launched a large-scale charge, thousands of fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Chinese suddenly appeared in the dark night sky, not only bombing the ground offensive units of the armies of the various countries of the League of Nations that were charging, but also the follow-up units of the armies of the various countries of the League of Nations in the rear, which were also tragically bombed, and the losses were very large.

This is not the end, the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire took advantage of the darkness to launch air raids on many field airfields in Russia west of the Ural Mountains, and in the air raids on the night of the 20th alone, the new fighters of the air forces of the international coalition countries lost more than 1,000 planes, all of which were directly blown up on the tarmac of the field airfields.

The losses of the land forces of the League of Nations were even greater, with losses exceeding 400,000 in air raids and attacks on the night of the 20th, almost double that of the day.

After discovering that a large number of fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Chinese Air Force were bombing at night, a large number of air defense weapons equipped by the armies of the various countries of the International Coalition immediately took blind fire, and nearly 40 new fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Chinese Air Force were shot down by a large number of blind air defense weapons.

Schlieffen, the commander-in-chief of the Ural Campaign, was trembling when he received the report of the losses of the armies of the international coalition at night, not that he felt that the loss of thousands of new fighters and 400,000 army units could not be beared, but that he was incredulous and shocked that the fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire could bomb at night.

If it weren't for the Russian War Minister Korrowsky who came up with the idea of equipping the army's air defense units with high-powered searchlights to guide the air defense weapons to fire at night in the air, perhaps the Ural campaign carefully planned by the League of Nations would have ended in a hurry, after all, if there was no means to counter the new fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire at night, then the armies of the League of Nations would not be able to fight this Ural campaign at all.

In the following 10 days, the land forces of the Entente and Allied countries in the League of Nations were bombed almost all the time by the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire, and launched a frantic attack on the Ural defense line of the Chinese Empire regardless of casualties, which brought very heavy losses to the army units of the Entente and the Allied countries, but also brought great pressure to the defenders of the Ural defense line of the Chinese Empire.

"Boom-boom-boom-" Countless shells fell on a position of the Imperial Chinese Army, which belonged to the main defensive zone of Yebao City in the Ural Defense Line of the Chinese Empire.

"Company commander, why haven't our Royal Air Force planes blown up the artillery of the International Alliance? Doesn't it mean that the air supremacy of the entire Ural defense line is controlled by our Royal Air Force? Qian Bao, who was hiding in the underground tunnel, asked his company commander Zhao Daneng loudly.

Zhao Daneng shook his head, shook off the ash that the shell had fallen on his head, and then said loudly: "I heard that this time the foreign devils dispatched tens of millions of army troops to attack our Ural defense line, you think, how many cannons do tens of millions of army troops have to be equipped, our Royal Air Force is bombed every day, and it will take a while to blow it up, and people's artillery will not be stupid waiting for you to bomb, he still has to hide." ”

At the beginning of the establishment of the Chinese Empire, when the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire was still the Dingbei Army, Zhao Daneng had already joined the army and won many military exploits, if it were not for Zhao Daneng's poor cultural foundation, and he himself was unwilling to learn cultural knowledge, otherwise with Zhao Daneng's military exploits and the speed of expansion of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, Zhao Daneng is definitely more than an infantry company commander now.

Soon the explosion overhead disappeared, and then Zhao Daneng smiled and said to Qian Bao, a guard and communication soldier next to him: "It seems that the artillery position of the foreign devils has either been bombed by the Royal Air Force, or suppressed by the artillery of our army. ”

Zhao Daneng's guess was not wrong, a Russian artillery position that was shelling their position was discovered by the fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire, and then the bombers of a flying bombing squadron blew up this Russian artillery position, and then countless Russian Army officers and soldiers shouted Ula and launched a group charge against the position of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, and in front of the position of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, it was already covered with the corpses of officers and soldiers of the League of Nations countries.

After Zhao Daneng quickly walked from the underground tunnel to the ground fortifications, he immediately shouted loudly: "Quick, set up all the machine guns for Lao Tzu, this time it is Lao Maozi who comes up, these old Maozi are lacking in heart, they are not afraid of death at all, don't let them get close to our position, the barbed wire fence in front is about to be blown up, it will not play any role, if we let Lao Maozi rush into our position, our whole company is small in life and death, if we lose our position, the reputation of our sharp knife company will be lost!" ”

"Company commander, don't worry, old man! Our company's bullets are enough, with our company's firepower, no matter how many old men there are, don't even think of rushing into our position! ”

"No, company commander, don't worry! When did the brothers fall off the chain! ”

Zhao Daneng shouted with a smile: "Brothers, let the logistics team make a good meal tonight, and when Lao Maozi gets closer, he will beat Lao Tzu hard!" ”

Zhao Daneng's small section of fortifications in charge of his company, with 4 reinforced concrete machine gun fortifications, is still intact, coupled with the terrain in front of the position, it is only conducive to infantry attack, tanks and armored vehicles can not be driven at all, and they can get air support and artillery support, so the defensive operation has been carried out for 11 days, and the officers and soldiers of the armies of the League of Nations have not succeeded in rushing into the position of Zhao Daneng and their company, but have left thousands of corpses in front of their company's position.

Zhao Daneng and their company of 223 people, only 15 people have been killed, and 3 soldiers have been seriously injured, so Zhao Daneng is also confident that he will keep this position.

"Lao Maozi is close, brothers, hit hard! Pork stew vermicelli at night! Zhao Daneng saw that the officers and soldiers of the Russian charge had approached within 200 meters of the position, and immediately shouted loudly.

With the firing of machine guns, rifles, mortars, and grenades, countless Russian officers and soldiers fell on the way to the charge, but the other charging Russian officers and soldiers did not seem to see this at all, continued to shout the slogan of Ula, and rushed forward without fear.

It is a pity that the bravery of the Russian officers and men, in the face of powerful firepower, except for the death of pieces in pieces, could not get close to the front positions at all, and at this time, a certain artillery position of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire in the rear also began to use large-caliber artillery to launch artillery bombardment on the charging Russian officers and soldiers, and every large-caliber shell that fell could take away the lives of more than a dozen or even dozens of Russian officers and soldiers, and many Russian officers and soldiers were directly blown up without their bones.

A division commander of the Russian Army in the rear held a telescope, and when he saw such a scene, he angrily shouted to the staff officers around him: "What about the artillery fire!" We need artillery support! Otherwise, such a charge would simply send my soldiers to death! The artillery of the Chinese Empire must be suppressed! ”

The staff officer said helplessly: "Division commander, the artillery assigned to our division has been blown up by the bombers of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire just now, and other artillery positions cannot give us artillery support, and we have no way to suppress the artillery positions of the Chinese Empire now." ”

"And what about the Air Force? Hurry up and contact the Air Force, and let them send fighter planes to blow up that artillery position of the Chinese Empire for me! ”

"Division commander, look at the sky, now the air is already the territory of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire."

"What about the armored forces! Why don't tanks and armored vehicles coordinate to attack? ”

"Division commander, this terrain is not suitable for tanks and armored vehicles to attack, otherwise the German Army, the Austro-Hungarian Army and the French Army would not have suffered so much loss before, and they didn't even touch the edge of the opponent's position."

"Alright! It seems that we can only rely on the warriors of our army of the Russian Empire! The 3rd Brigade was ordered to throw in 2 more battalions of troops to join the attack, and today it is a matter of human life, and our division must also take this position. (To be continued.) )
