Chapter 607: Fierce Battle in the Southern Subcontinent (5)

The Axis Northern Route Army was firmly dragged under the city of Alexandra by Cheng Guangling, while its Southern Route Army was attacked more fiercely. Under the personal leadership of Cai Tingyuan, the Chinese Army Engineer Corps laid a large number of mines, turning the advance route of the Axis Southern Route Army into a hell, and General Patton, who was seriously slowed down the march, was even more vicious, directly letting the troops of the Grand Duchy of Rees and the Kingdom of Sero act as sappers in front of the mine.

In fact, in the absence of advanced mine detection equipment, there is no talk of mine detection. Under the threat of the Boston Warlords, these soldiers just used their own flesh and blood to detonate the mines, but what Patton never expected was that Cai Tingyuan buried mixed mines, and these minefields included individual broadsword mines that were blown up by people as soon as they were stepped on, and there were also anti-tank mines that were blown up only when the infantry stepped on them.

The low sensitivity of these mine fuses and the fact that they would not explode without sufficient pressure was so sad that Patton had to order the concentration of all the useless wheeled armored vehicles, and let the soldiers of the two countries drive them in front of them to detect mines, and even then the other vehicles that followed did not dare to be careless, and those drivers concentrated on operating their vehicles, and only dared to move along the ruts of the vehicles in front, and the march speed could be described as slow as a snail.

Although Patton's practice allowed the entire unit to pass through the minefield in the shortest possible time, it planted a big shadow in the hearts of soldiers of various countries. Patton's disregard for soldiers from other countries made those soldiers from smaller countries begin to disobey his orders, which directly affected the situation of the war that followed.

In the face of the aggressive and fast-advancing Patton, Cai Tingyuan was unusually calm, anyway, there was not much worth holding on to in the desert, so he used mines to delay the opponent's offensive rhythm on the one hand, and slowly retreated on the other hand, luring the enemy deeper, preparing to give the enemy a powerful counterattack on the most favorable terrain.

Of course, Patton was not a simple person, although he advanced quickly, but it was not disorganized, not only did the troops cover each other, but also sent planes to carry out non-stop patrols, keeping a close eye on the position of the Chinese Army.

In view of the Boston Air Force's frequent aerial reconnaissance, the Chinese Air Force is also-for-tat, they rely on radar facilities, often take off small groups of fighters to intercept, which makes the Boston Air Force's reconnaissance planes suffer great losses, for which they have to increase the number of planes in patrol formations, and the Chinese Air Force is also increasing the number, and the scale of air encounters between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.

Finally, the Axis air force, which could no longer bear the losses, sent a large formation to attack the Chinese Air Force field airfield near Baiveti, and the Chinese Air Force, which had a complete air defense radar system, discovered the opponent's aircraft group very early, and they also took off a large number of fighters to meet each other, and an air battle between the main aircraft groups near Baiveti was in full swing.

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Gao Hui led his fighter brigade and flew towards the combat airspace, and Liang Junhui's good partner in a world war also became a wing commander.

Originally, he was forty years old and did not need to participate in the war, although each wing commander was equipped with a four-plane formation escort unit, but these troops were usually idle, because every time he went out on a mission, he only needed the captain of the fighter group to lead the attack.

This air battle is a little different, because the Chinese Air Force is at an absolute disadvantage in the number of planes, and they themselves have no certainty of victory in their hearts, and now they only need a little more planes to increase their chances of victory, so the captains of the three fighter wings unanimously chose to go into battle again and join the battle group with their own escort troops, so as to add strength to their own air force units.

The two fighter wings had already exchanged fire with the five fighter wings of the Boston Air Force, but because the Chinese Air Force was at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, the air battle was in a stalemate.

Every pilot of the Chinese Air Force has to go through a series of simulated vacuum warfare training and participated in at least one rainbow military exercise before joining active duty, so they are more mature in experience and psychology, and the latest improved Golden Eagle 4 fighter is equipped with a radar rangefinder.

Although these rudimentary radar systems do not yet have the ability to capture targets and can only be used to measure distance, they have already provided great help to the pilot's shooting, so that the Golden Eagle 4 fighter is slightly better than the wave-based F84 that only uses mechanical sights in terms of shooting accuracy, and the Golden Eagle 4 fighter is better than the opponent's speed and agility, so that they can draw with the opponent when the number is less than half of the opponent's.

The only drawback of the Golden Eagle 4 fighter is that the range is smaller than that of the F84 fighter, so this air battle cannot be delayed for too long, otherwise it will be detrimental to the Chinese Air Force, in this case, the Gao Hui Wing as a reserve was sent to the battlefield.

Gao Hui led the flying group in his wing to gallop towards the battlefield at an ultra-low altitude, and Liang Junhui was leading his escort team to confront more than 30 Boston planes. The gold-painted convoy is quite different from the silver-white livery of the ordinary Golden Eagle 4 fighter, which also attracts the attention of a large number of Boston aircraft.

Liang Junhui didn't choose such an alternative livery to be cool, his escort team is an absolute elite pilot, with such a conspicuous livery, firstly, it can calm the morale of the military, so that everyone can see the wing captain with them, and secondly, it can attract more enemy planes to reduce the pressure on other pilots, but today it seems that he has gone a little too far.

Under the siege of more than 30 enemy planes, Liang Junhui led his escort team to toss and turn in various difficult maneuvers, although he shot down 11 enemy planes, but one of the escort troops was wounded and withdrew from the battle, and the enemy planes gathered more and more, and he could not get out of the battlefield at all.

Liang Junhui was sweating profusely and operated his plane, since he joined the army, he had not fought such a disparity between the enemy and us, and now his machine gun had no shells, and he could only rely on machine guns to attack the enemy, so his combat effectiveness had decreased a lot.

Just after Liang Junhui took his wingman and threw off the two approaching enemy planes again in a small radius turn, several tongues of fire pierced through the side and rear of the battlefield, and the two F84s exploded in volleys.

When Liang Junhui heard the familiar sound of 23mm cannon fire, he knew that reinforcements were coming, and Liang Junhui, who was extremely excited, made a left turn and bit an F84 fighter of the Axis Air Force.

The distance is getting closer and closer, the number on the radar rangefinder is rapidly decreasing, when the distance is close to three hundred meters, Liang Junhui decisively pressed the machine gun button, and the bullet hit a curved curve, directly lifting the left wing of the F84 out of the spur, I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, Liang Junhui's hand in the high-speed judgment of the ability to hit a hit in advance, is not an ordinary pilot can do.

"Ha Luha, Lao Liang, I can't hold on." Gao Hui shouted with a smile in the communication channel. At this time, a golden fighter jet flew past Liang Junhui's plane, and he didn't need to look at it to know that it was Gao Hui.

Liang Junhui said angrily: "Why did you come, I'm almost out of bullets." Gao Hui said: "I'm also in a hurry, but the superiors can't let us take off, but fortunately, we caught up in time, and the rest will be handed over to us." ”

Gao Hui's fleet joined the battle, causing a small commotion on the battlefield, and Boston played a small climax of 48:27 by virtue of its numerical superiority, although the number of planes crashed on its own side was still nearly double that of the opponent, but this was already the smallest casualty of the air forces of various countries in the previous air battles against the Chinese Empire.

But before the Axis Air Force could be complacent, the addition of Gao Hui's fleet completely shattered their dreams. As a new force, the Gaohui fleet, with its planes intact and sufficient ammunition and fuel, exerted its extraordinary advantage as soon as it entered the battlefield. They quickly took over the positions of their comrades, and although they were few in number, they launched a strong attack on the Boston Air Force despite the fact that they had just joined the battle and had enough ammunition.

Gao Hui flew to the front, and the machine guns and machine guns fired in turn, knocking the F84s into volleys or falling to the ground in smoke. The gold-clad team quickly penetrated deep into the opposing group, shattering their entire formation, and all the Boston pilots began to panic.

Under the fierce attack of Gao Hui's fleet, and the close cooperation of the other two wings, although the Boston Air Force still occupied a numerical advantage, it could only be passively beaten.

Seeing this situation, the Boston Air Force high-ranking officials knew that they could not do anything, and they immediately ordered the group to retreat by radio, and most of the planes of the Chinese Air Force were also short of fuel and could no longer pursue.

The warring sides quickly disengaged and returned home, but due to the fierce assault of Gao Hui's fleet, the Boston Air Force lost more than 90 aircraft, which can be described as a considerable loss, and its 32nd Wing could almost be canceled.

The victory of the Chinese Air Force in this big air battle made the aerial reconnaissance of the Boston Air Force converge a lot, and without these nasty flies for aerial reconnaissance, Cai Tingyuan began to plan how to make a stumbling down.

In the vicinity of Faiyum, Cai Tingyuan relied on the Nile to build a strong defensive line, where he deployed all his lightly armed troops, and also reinforced their artillery. Relying on a large number of heavy artillery, the Chinese Army easily sent shells to the enemy camp on the opposite bank, blowing up Patton's subordinates to the point that they could not raise their heads, and the bomber group of the Boston Air Force also suffered heavy losses under the joint strangulation of the ground anti-aircraft artillery units and the Chinese Air Force.

The Chinese Army's flexible arrangement of the Storm Bear 2D quadruple 40-mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and special anti-aircraft radar vehicles accurately attacked the bombers of the Axis air force, plus the towed 88-mm anti-aircraft guns and 25-mm anti-aircraft guns installed on the ground, and a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns of the infantry, forming a dense anti-aircraft fire network with three layers, such as high, medium and low, and beat the Axis bombers to the point that they did not dare to lower their altitude.
