Chapter 265: Air Combat
"The Northeast Army must be contained, otherwise with the rich resources of the Northeast and the wealth accumulated by Qin Yu over the years of governance, it will be terrible to let it develop, and in a few years, the Northeast Army may be able to compete with the Imperial Army." Yuichi Amazawa had a low voice, and he returned to their special box with Kawaichi, and the train was rolling forward outside, and Demipov began to withdraw his troops, and they were naturally the first to evacuate.
"Well, it's not terrible to have wealth, what is really terrible is that Qin Yu has far more than ordinary people's excellent vision, the importance of new weapons such as planes and tanks in the base camp, and the acceptance of new things is far less fast than Qin Yu." Kawai Cao nodded, "First the planes, then the tanks, plus the current armament of the Northeast Army, in addition to the mobilization ability of the soldiers, the comprehensive strength is inferior to the Imperial Army, in terms of equipment, there is a faint sign of surpassing the Imperial Army, now if the Empire wants to capture the Northeast, with the current scale and combat power of the Northeast Army, the Empire may have to launch a war similar to the scale of the war with Russia back then." Of course, there was no navy in the Northeast, only land operations, and military spending was much smaller than that of the Russo-Japanese War of that year. However, now that the Northeast Army is strong, this war will probably not be able to support it by relying solely on Demipov and the incompetent Seminov. ”
"Whether it is out of the perspective of turmoil in Tsarist Russia or the expansion of the northeast, Dmipov and Seminov still have their use value. The more chaotic the situation in the Far East became, the more determined the empire could benefit from it, and the empire had to show greater determination to protect them. "Tian Zexiong.
"I'll report this to the base camp, and it should be approved." Kawai Cao thought for a while and decided.

For the outstanding tricks of the Northeast Army, Demipov and Horvat heard that the front line encountered a comprehensive counterattack by the Northeast Army, and nearly 20,000 troops were directly defeated by the Northeast Army. A considerable number of them died in the pursuit of the Northeast Army, and most of them fell directly into the encirclement of the Northeast Army. The situation encountered by the Northeast Army before happened to be tasted by the Tsarist Russian soldiers, the difference is that the situation faced by Tsarist Russia is even worse, and Dmipov does not have such a hole card as a tank cluster that can reverse the situation.
The transition between victory and defeat came so suddenly that Dmipov and Horvat were a little difficult to accept for a while. It's just that the Northeast Army will not stop attacking because of the feelings of the Tsarist side and Hehecao and others. Nearly one-third of the troops were defeated, and the positions of the old Russian army in the area of Maoer Mountain could not be held, and in the evening, the old Russian army launched a frantic counterattack, trying to rescue the trapped army after failure, Demipov had no choice but to gather the rest as much as possible and retreat back one after another.
"Damn, you can come whenever you want. If you want to go, you can go, I really regard Heilongjiang as my back garden! He Yingdong piloted a wolf smoke fighter and pursued it with the bomber formation in the direction of the retreat of the defeated Russian army.
The ground forces of the Northeast Army naturally would not let the main force of Tsarist Russia, which had already shown defeat, calmly withdraw, leaving two divisions to complete the encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the encircled Tsarist Russia, Sun Liechen pursued all the way with the main force of the 1st Army.
On the vast snowfield, the strength of the two armies of tens of thousands of troops chased in front and rear, and the wagons that Dmipov could call on were very limited, and there was no way to transport all the tens of thousands of troops overnight. If some of them are withdrawn, someone must stay behind to break the rear, and if there are fewer people, they will not be able to withstand the counterattack of the Northeast Army. On the issue of retreat, Dmipov was torn apart.
The retreat of the old army in Tsarist Russia has not yet been completed, and the light snow that has fallen for a day has stopped. The snow has stopped, and there is no need to remind what it means for the Tsarist side. The Russian soldiers also knew what kind of predicament they were about to face.
Sun Liechen dispatched a squad of bomber formations to bomb the old Tsarist army trapped in the encirclement.
One of the two divisions, an artillery regiment, was transferred to the front line, and after cutting out the battle damage, only 47 artillery pieces and 8 tanks were left to besiege more than 12,000 Tsarist Russian soldiers in the encirclement area, losing the support of the main force. The remnants of the Russian army were left alone, without any aid or supplies.
Boom Boom! Under the care of the aircraft group, the heavy firepower of the remnants of the army is like ice and snow in the sun, melting at a speed that is discernible to the naked eye.
The Russian soldiers relied on the crippled defenses to resist with all their might, but the 9th and 10th divisions responsible for the siege were not in a hurry to take them, but very patiently demarcated the positions that were easier for the Tsarist Russia to gnaw down, and used the combined use of artillery and artillery groups, as well as aerial bombardment, which was tantamount to a disaster for the remnants of the Tsarist Russian army, which was seriously lacking in heavy firepower.
Eight tanks lined up in a row and slowly crushed the positions of the Russian soldiers on the opposite side. The snow from the pits on the ground is rolled into snow water. After the aerial group partially finished dropping bombs, it also began to lose altitude, and machine gun bullets rained down on the positions behind the remnants.
Pillars of smoke spread everywhere in the snow.
The bullets of the Northeast Army seemed to be endless, and they poured on the remnants of the Tsarist Russian army as if they did not want money.
"Devil, these Northeast Army are all devils!" In the face of the impenetrable rain of bullets, many of the remnants of the army who were almost desperate in the battlefield saw the indescribable steel man, and almost had a nervous breakdown, and fled to the rear crying, Tosny was swept to the ground by the bullet before he ran a few steps, bleeding from his body, and after a few struggles, Tosny did not move.
Fang Yan drove the tank mercilessly over the corpse of a Russian soldier, coldly letting the machine gunner open fire. Patches of Russian soldiers fell under a hail of bullets.
"Run, run..."The invincible enemy is always terrifying, and after the old Tsarist army lost contact with its superiors from soldiers to officers, some of the top brass had already understood that they had become abandoned and lonely, and that there was little less ammunition. Although the soldiers below did not know the specific situation, they had a sufficient supply of ammunition before, and they replenished it immediately after the battle, but now they did not have many rounds of ammunition in their hands. Even if the ammunition is sufficient, it will be difficult to resist the combined firepower network of the Northeast Army, let alone under the intensity of this kind of war. You have to save money.
Rochsky and his troops tried to break through several times, but they all died down under the counteroffensive of the Northeast Army and lost a lot of troops. As the outer positions were lost under the siege of the Northeast Army, the remnants of the Tsarist army of more than 12,000 people were plundered by the Northeast Army and pressed in a narrow area within a radius of several kilometers, and were divided into three parts, unable to gather each other. Annihilation of this remnant army is only a matter of time for the Northeast Army.
"Hurry up, let the conductor drive the train faster, so slow, waiting for the plane of the Northeast Army to kiss his ass?"
Dmipov roared angrily on the train, he had finally developed into the current strength, and now he was almost beaten back to his original shape in just a battle with the Northeast Army, and he provoked such a powerful enemy as the Northeast Army in vain. We will not rest on our laurels. Before a large number of artillery pieces could be transported, the Northeast Army rushed to them, and it was not easy to transport those extremely heavy artillery pieces in the face of air threats. Demipov regretted a little how he listened to the Japanese in the first place, so that he was facing the current dilemma, if it were not for the fact that only the Japanese could provide strong help now, Demipov would have had the mind to throw Kawai and Yuichi Tensawa off the train.
Dmipov has a train ride. But the army of tens of thousands of people did not have such conditions, and the main force of the Eastern Route Army that Sun Liechen threw had successfully caught the tail of the main force of the old army of Tsarist Russia. Although the strength of the four divisions is not too obvious compared with the old Russian army at this time, the opponent is now a group of enemies who have been broken, not to mention the defeat on the previous battlefield, the old Russian army lost a large number of artillery, part of which was captured by the Northeast Army, and the caliber of the artillery used by the Northeast Army is also Russian. There is no problem with ammunition, and it can be put into use as soon as it is captured. As the advantages of one side and the other are eliminated, the gap between the two armies will also widen significantly.
After a few battles, Horvat's road guards have been reimbursed, and there is no Middle Road. Having lost territory, Horvat is nothing, and Dmipov no longer cares about it. At this time, except for himself, Demipov no longer believed anyone, including the Japanese, if it were not for the Japanese bewitching him, saying that he would definitely win the war, Demipov would not have run from Vladivostok to Maoershan to fight the Northeast Army to the death.
Just when Demipov felt sorry for himself, in Pearl Mountain, Weihe Town and other railway areas, the main force of Sun Liechen's 1st Army fought fiercely against the Russian defeated enemy again. The Japanese side tried to preserve Demipov's strength and avoid losing the strength of its armed forces to contain the northeast, and under such circumstances, most of the 19 Kawashima, Kawasaki, and 19 bombers and 18 fighters piloted by Japanese pilots were put into the battlefield.
The Northeast Army had previously carried out a continuous batch bombardment of Tsarist Russia, and only a quarter of all troops appeared in the skies over both sides.
"The bomber formation immediately retreated, immediately returned to the base, and today we must leave all the Japanese planes." Seeing the surging Japanese planes, Song Baoming's eyes lit up, even if the central government had a slight advantage over the Japanese planes, Song Baoming and other pilots did not feel afraid at all, on the contrary, a strong fighting spirit rose in their hearts. As for the request for reinforcements, the ground forces had already sent telegrams back to the base when they saw the superior Japanese forces.
"Damn, I lost hundreds of brothers by the Japanese last time, and this time we must let them pay for their blood debts!" Song Baoming roared frantically, piloting the plane and began to seize the altitude, at this time there were only 7 wolf smoke fighters in the air, facing the 18 fighters of the Japanese army, the number was almost a little more than one-third of the opponent's, but out of the need to cover the evacuation of the beacon fire, these fighter pilots could not evacuate for the time being, and they had to delay for a while to withdraw.
"Blood debt and blood payment!"
"Despicable Shina people, now I want you to understand who is the most powerful air force in East Asia!" Yama Yimu and other 9 fighters in the first wave, with 3 as a team, also began to seize the altitude, in the battle of aircraft, altitude is very important, who grabs the top of the most square head, and then rush down, in the shooting angle. It is necessary to have an advantage in the choice of combat methods. After all, it's much harder to climb up than to dive down.
"Yaga!" Soon, Yama Ichiki and other pilots found that their plane horsepower was not as strong as the other party's, and they only climbed halfway, and the fighters of the Northeast Air Force on the opposite side had steadily surpassed them.
"How so? Bastard! Qiu Zhen Wusheng was also very angry, and he was able to surpass so much in such a short period of time. It can only show that the planes of the Northeast Army are a cut faster than them.
The comparison of the speed of the two sides made Song Baoming and other pilots laugh happily, the speed of the wolf smoke bomber has no obvious advantage compared with the famous fighters of the western participating countries, but it is also equal, the performance of the wolf smoke has no obvious shortcomings, that is, in the face of the aircraft of the great powers, Song Baoming also has the confidence of a war, at this time he saw that the Japanese pilot on the opposite side had fallen below, and the comfort in his heart naturally did not need to be said. Since the opponent's performance is more backward, then even if the opponent's strength is superior. Song Baoming and the others were also more sure that they were delaying the other party's actions and evacuating after waiting for the beacon to fly to safety.
"Ha Luha, Oriental dwarf, let's eat!" Under the control of Jiang Qingyan and others, the wolf smoke that had climbed several hundred meters swooped viciously towards the Japanese Kawasaki-17 fighter below like a tiger descending from the mountain.
While secretly screaming that it was not good, Yama Ichiki and the others opened fire violently, trying to delay the movement of the enemy planes with a rain of bullets.
Sudden Sudden Burst... Machine guns spew tongues of fire in the air. Bullets rained down one after another.
Bear None is on the left side of the mountain and one tree. Before he could make any other movements, he had already been stung a few times on his chest. Blood kept pouring out of his mouth and chest. BEING HIT IN THE VITAL PART BY A 7.9MM HEAVY MACHINE GUN, OR SEVERAL SHOTS IN SUCCESSION, WHERE CAN ORDINARY PEOPLE IN FLESH AND BLOOD SUPPORT IT.
"Little Bear!" Shan Yimu shouted, and saw the bearless plane in the air as if drunk, stumbling and gliding for a distance, and then planted headlong to the ground. Before they had time to see the explosion on the ground, Yama Yiki and the others cheered up and returned their attention to the wolf-like wolf-like fighter.
The bullet hit the fuel tank of another Japanese plane, and the Japanese plane exploded in the air like fireworks, and countless pieces of wood were scattered. Machine gun parts were scattered in the air and fell straight down.
"Well done, kill these shit! What if the Japanese have a lot of planes now, this kind of tattered goods, we don't deserve to lift shoes, big guys, be careful, play with them leisurely, and have a little more reinforcements, you must give these guys a pot! Song Baoming, as the commander, roared in his throat when he shouted to the plane next to him, but Song Baoming felt extremely cool.
In just one shot, two Japanese planes were shot down, and although the Northeast Air Force was at a disadvantage in terms of the number of wolf smoke, it knocked down the momentum of the Japanese aircraft group. The original morale of Yama Ichiki and others cast a shadow on their hearts, the performance of the aircraft used by the Northeast Air Force exceeded their Kawasaki 17 type, not to mention, what is even worse is that the other side's reinforcements do not know when the road will arrive on the battlefield, even if it is a bomber, there is a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour in an hour, when the previous evacuation, the two or three temporary airfields built by Tsarist Russia have not had time to destroy, it is likely to be used by the Northeast Army, and the time for the Northeast aircraft to go back and forth will not be too long. What the Japanese don't know is more than 100 kilometers, and for wolf smoke, it is just over half an hour away.
For the first time in the real sense of air combat in the ground combat troops, those Tsarist Russian soldiers witnessed their planes being shot down two in the case of absolute superiority in troops, but the other party was unscathed, the loss in their hearts can be imagined, this time was bombed by the Northeast Army too badly, and they saw that they also had planes, but the cruel fact made their hopes dashed.
At present, although there are only a few planes of the Northeast Army, everyone knows that this is only a small part of the Northeast Air Force.
Compared with the loss of the Russian soldiers, the main force of the 1st Army, which was fighting on the ground, erupted in thunderous cheers.
However, God is fair, in the later air battle, because there were too many Japanese fighters, after a brutal battle, each side was shot down a fighter and one was damaged.
"Damn, don't play with these guys anymore, let's go!" Song Baoming released a retreating signal flare, personally cut off the back, and covered his teammates to evacuate the battle circle. The continuous dogfight made Song Baoming and other pilots feel at ease, the other party's speed was slow, and it was not difficult for the wolf smoke fighter to get out of the battlefield, and besides, after fighting for so long, there was not much fuel left, and he had to go back to the base to replenish.
The Japanese planes were temporarily deprived of the enemy and were able to wreak havoc on the head of the 1st Army for a while, but not long after the bombing, the planes in charge of the alert patrol soon sent out signal flares, and the second wave of aircraft from the northeast arrived.
The aviation department that got the news canceled the plan for batch bombing, and the main force was exhausted, and the remaining 17 wolf smoke fighters poured out, and the Beacon bombers also used 54 at a time, totaling more than 70 planes, flying a little lower in the air, which was already a small piece of black pressure.
The Tsarist side had been bombed by the Northeast Army before, and as long as the weather allowed to take off, the bombers overhead were hardly broken. But most of these Tsarist soldiers were faced with more than a dozen planes, and sometimes there were more than 20 planes, and this time more than 70 planes were used at a time, and the dense black spots in the air simply made people's scalps tingle.
After receiving a telegram from the ground forces, the base took off one after another. Some of them approached the battlefield and recklessly dropped bombs on the ground forces of Tsarist Russia, while the fighter formations pounced on the remaining 15 Kawasaki Type 17s. In terms of quantity, except for Song Baoming's planes, there are only 16 aircraft in the aviation department on the eastern front, which is almost the same in terms of quantity, but after the battle with Song Baoming and others just now, Yama Yimu and others have understood the gap between them and the Northeast aircraft, and the loss has reached 1 to 3 in the case of the superiority in numbers.
"Die!" Zhao Yunpeng personally piloted a wolf smoke and pounced on the enemy plane that was stubbornly resisting, since he was attacked by the Japanese at the airport, he had dreamed of revenge, and now he finally had a chance. (To be continued......)
