Ten minutes later, the first wave of bombers began to take off, the propellers rotated at high speed amid the roar of the air-cooled piston engines, and the twin-engine bombers loaded with more than a ton of bombs began to glide on the concrete runway, and soon took off one after another. On the other runway next to it, escort Eagle fighters also began to take off, although they were escorts, but considering the pitiful air combat power in the hands of the Russians on the opposite side, these fighters were all hung with bombs, and the carrying capacity of four 50-kilogram bombs was also considerable.

After the take-off group of planes in the air formation, it directly attacked the Russian army Zarkent fortress group less than 100 kilometers away, and the troops from Ili were nothing more than two mountain passes in Central Asia, one in front of Khorgos and the other a little further north in Alashankou, the Russians built strong fortresses in both places, and the four armies of the entire group army were stationed in Zarkent, Almaty, Taldikurgan, and Alashankou. In addition, there is also a group army in Novosibirsk and Uzbekistan, the former warns the Chinese out of Lake Baikal, the latter warns the direction of Kashgar to take into account the possible participation of the Persians, and once the Chinese leave Ili, they will go south or north at any time to reinforce, which is the entire strength of the Russian army in Central Asia and Siberia.

However, considering that the Russian immigrants in these remote areas are half-soldiers and half-civilians, if you really count it, the Russians in this area can mobilize close to a million troops, of course, the latter's combat effectiveness is certainly not comparable to that of the regular army.

And Yang Qingyuan's task is to solve the Russian Eighteenth Army in Kazakhstan as quickly as possible before the Russian troops reinforced from the north and south arrive. At the same time as the bomber group at the Ili airfield was dispatched, the bombers from the two airfields of Wusu and Aksu also took off at the same time, and the total number of bombers at the three airfields exceeded 200, plus a total of 150 fighter-bombers, and 100 large helium airships took off from Dihua. Combined, more than seven hundred tons of bombs can be dropped on the ground at once, and these will all be smashed in Zarkent.

"Isn't it just reinforced concrete? It's pure steel, and I'm blowing it up to slag. Looking at the huge group of planes flying overhead, Yang Qingyuan said proudly, as the first batch of military talents personally trained by Emperor Yang that year, he had a very deep understanding of the air attack that Emperor Xià was currently vigorously advocating.

The Russians of the Zarkent fortress group looked at the sky above them one by one as if they were stupid, and the first batch of planes flew above them more than one hundred and fifty, and it was the first time they had seen such a spectacular scene. Of course, for many of them, this is also the last time.

"Air raids, air raids!" Immediately after that, the Chinese-made four-four-four-millimeter machine guns, which were the main force of the Russian air defense, began to spew flames, and some of their own five-seven and seven-five-millimeter antiaircraft guns also began to fire into the air. These anti-aircraft guns with a slow rate of fire and only time and bump fuses are just a meaning, and it must be a very rebellious thing to hit the target for both them and their targets, and only the anti-aircraft machine gun is the real workhorse.

But they're not targeting bloated, slow, clumsy airships. At the same time as these anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire, one after another Eagle fighter-bombers in the sky immediately dived down at a high speed of nearly 400 kilometers, and a 12.7 mm machine gun sprayed flames and ploughed a line of fire on the ground with fragments and blood and flesh splashes, and those antiaircraft machine gunners who lacked sufficient protection were beaten to pieces. At the moment when these giant eagles swept by, 50-kilogram bombs roared and fell, and then blasted anti-aircraft machine guns to pieces.

The Russians on the ground fought back desperately, firing into the sky with all the weapons they could use. But alas, with little success, and the number of their anti-aircraft machine guns was too small, not even as many as the planes in the sky. After all their efforts were made to shoot down the three Hawk fighter-bombers, the Chinese-made anti-aircraft machine guns were almost completely lost, and after there was no threat from the ground, the bombers hovering at a safe distance immediately pounced, the bomb bay opened, and the 50-kilogram bombs fell on the heads of the Russians one after another.

Fortunately, at this time, the Russian fighters finally arrived, and 50 biplane fighters made of Chinese-made engines took off from the Almaty airport and flew slowly at a speed of less than 200 kilometers per hour.

When they saw these fighters, who were several laps bigger than themselves, swooping down from a height of six thousand meters that they could not reach at almost twice their speed, those Russian fighter pilots were also stupid, this is too bullying, right?

It's a pity that people are bullying people like this, how do you still need to fight the Hawk with a maximum speed of 400 and a maximum flight altitude of 8,000 against a Russian fighter with a maximum speed of 18 and a maximum height of 4,000? Climb high, dive, fire, pull up, turn around, dive again, fire again, pull up again... Just repeat it over and over again, and as for shooting down the target on the first few dives, it depends only on the pilot's skill. This is a pure bullying air battle, just like those minions of Yang Feng in the time and space of the Republic of China bullied the Japanese with twin demons, these minions of his in this time and space also bullied the Russians perfectly, and after just ten minutes of air battle, there are no Russian fighters in the sky.

"This is not air combat, this is target shooting!" This was later described by the Wing Commander of the Flying Wing in his report to his superiors.

Fortunately, at the end of the air battle, the bombers also dropped their bombs, and one by one in the sad and angry eyes of the surviving Russians below, the Russians on the ground finally breathed a sigh of relief, and began to silently clean up the shattered corpses in the bombed-out fortresses. However, before they could clear a third of the way, the terrible air raid sirens sounded again, the bombers taking off from the Usu airfield arrived, and the poor Russians panicked and hurried to find a place to hide. In fact, they also knew that it was useless to hide in front of these demons from the sky, even if the reinforced concrete bunker was smashed open with a bomb, their fortresses and real large fortresses were not at the same level at all. After all, there is no railway, and there will be no port for large-scale transportation of building materials, and it is only for the infantry to say that it is a fortress, let alone a 50-kilogram bomb, but not a 250-kilogram bomb.

Hiding is just a psychological comfort, and instead of relying on the fortress for protection, it is better to pray more to God not to let yourself be so unlucky!

Because the anti-aircraft weapons and fighters of the Russians were basically gone, the bombers and fighter-bombers that took off from the Usu airfield bombed very calmly, just like the usual bombing exercises, dropping more than a hundred tons of bombs on the heads of the Russians and then flying away in the same way, not even one of them was lost, only two of them were hit by a few harmless light machine gun bullets.

After these guys wreaked havoc, the Russian fortress group below can only be said to be the former fortress group, and the broken fortresses between the huge craters are like disemboweled turtles, revealing the internal organs inside, and the blood of the Russians stains the inside red, and it is indeed like the internal organs after disemboweling.

The remaining poor Russian soldiers had to clean up again, but by this time the number had decreased a lot compared to the last time, but just after they had cleared less than a tenth, the heart-wrenching air defense siren sounded again.

Those Russian soldiers are about to collapse, are you all finished?

Of course it's not.

This time they came to take off from Aksu Airport, in fact, the distance they are from here is about the same as Wusu Airport, but they need to take a detour to fly over the Tianshan Mountains so they came late, of course, it doesn't matter, it's all the same thing for the Russians, they are all demons, they are all terrible demons, in the whistling sound of bombs falling, those Russians keep cursing these guys, by the way, cursing the Chinese army on the other side, if you have the ability, don't use planes, let's fight knife to gun.

What they didn't know was that at this moment their demands had been met, and a huge army of more than six hundred chariots in the dry steppes of the Ili Valley was rushing towards this side.

Above them, the next nightmare of the Russians in the fortress of Zarkent was slowly flying by, a huge air fleet of a hundred airships obscuring the sky, a spectacular scene that even the Chinese soldiers on the ground could not help but raise their heads to look up at the sky, and some of them forgot to advance. Although for Emperor Yang, airships are already a weapon that should be eliminated, but in this era, especially when used to deal with enemies who have no ability to resist, these behemoths have a natural advantage in terms of bomb load and combat radius compared to bombers.

His Thunder bomber could not carry five or six tons of bombs from Dihua directly to Zarkent.

When these aerial monsters flew over this fortress, the Russians below were already in despair, these airships became the last straw that crushed their courage, and before the bombing began, a large number of Russian soldiers had abandoned their fortress and fled in the direction of Almaty in the open river valley, although the Russian commander in charge of guarding Zarkent used machine guns to stop them, but did not stop them from escaping, and when the whistle of bombs falling in the sky sounded, even the general had no choice but to jump on his horse.
