At full speed, the bomber group crossed the fortified area of the Cossack corps. While the front-line soldiers were still congratulating themselves on not being targeted, several bomber groups were already flying over several front-line airfields of the Cossack Air Force.

"Air raids, air raids." Piercing air raid sirens sounded over the airport, and many soldiers ran frantically towards the planes, or the sandbag-built fortifications around the airport.

After experiencing the crazy air battles on the Western Continent, especially after the baptism of anti-aircraft machine guns in the Yaman Empire, all countries began to develop anti-aircraft machine guns. The principle of the anti-aircraft machine gun is very simple, but because the Yamaman Empire did a good job of keeping the anti-aircraft machine gun secret, the various parameters of the anti-aircraft machine gun sold to the Jarman Empire by various countries are unknown.

The Jarman Empire used 14 mm anti-aircraft machine guns produced by the Chinese Empire. In the course of research, inexperienced scientists from various countries naturally use their own machine guns, which results in the caliber of self-made anti-aircraft machine guns in various countries generally not high.

The Cossack Empire used a blueprint purchased from the Nantes Empire, a self-replica of the Haggais machine gun at the Nagant Arsenal at Fort Paladin, using a modified straight-rod anti-aircraft mount.

Seeing the bombers of the Chinese Empire in the air, many Cossack soldiers immediately entered the sandbag fortifications, picked up anti-aircraft machine guns and began to shoot into the air. Dozens of 8.9 mm Haqikes machine guns fired fiercely, weaving into a dense net of fire in the air, preventing the bombers of the Chinese Empire from lowering altitude.

As soon as a bomber preparing to drop bombs at low altitude lowered its altitude, a string of bullets hit the tail of the plane, and there were suddenly more than a dozen bullet holes in the aluminum alloy skin. With a calm pull, the plane immediately gained altitude and got rid of the ballistics of the machine gun.

"Pay attention to the height, drop bombs in the middle of the air, and be careful of the opponent's anti-aircraft machine guns." The captain of the bombardment commanded from the communicator.

The pilots of the Chinese Air Force have undergone very rigorous training, and even if the flight altitude is increased, the bombing accuracy will not be too low, so the bombers have been pulled to more than 2,000 meters.

At this time, the shortcomings of the lack of high firing of the Haqikes machine gun became apparent. In the face of the Chinese Air Force, which adopted medium-altitude bombing, the anti-aircraft machine guns of the Cossack army were helpless.

A group of bombers flew over the airfield, and 100-kilogram bombs were dropped in a row, blowing up the airstrip into potholes.

A fighter of the Cossack Air Force, still trying to force a takeoff, had just taxied onto the runway when a bomb exploded in front of it, blowing up a large crater on the runway. The pilot of the Cossack fighter did not have time to change direction, and the plane plunged headlong into the pit. The plane then burst into flames, and the pilot, who could not escape in the future, was burned alive.

After blowing up the runway, the bomber group rushed to the planes on the tarmac and the nearby oil and ammunition depots. Explosions rang out one after another, and fiery mushroom clouds lit up half the sky.

The Cossack corps had only two field airfields on the front line, and it was naturally impossible for several bomber groups to bomb only these two targets. The Cossack military did not expect that the bombing of the Chinese Air Force would be so fierce, except for two airfields, several logistics bases, transportation hubs and rear barracks of the Cossack Empire were bombed, and the entire rear of the Cossack Army fell into chaos.

The returning bombers seemed to be unable to get enough of it, and on the way home, they used aviation machine guns to dive and strafe the positions of the Cossack infantry. Since the last attack on the Japanese army in Ezo Province, the Air Force's bomber units seem to have enjoyed the feeling of machine-gun fire on the enemy on their return voyage.

With the bombardment of heavy artillery and the roar of chariots, the Chinese army launched a full-scale attack. The defending Cossack corps immediately began to return artillery fire, machine guns raged in the bunkers, and relying on well-fortified fortifications, the Cossack corps did not give an inch.

Fierce fighting broke out along the Verkhniya Yansk Mountains and along the Lena River, and the focus of the Chinese attack was on the Cossack city of Yakutsk, located in the middle reaches of the Lena River. Not to be outdone, the Cossacks were also not to be outdone by the heavy bombardment of the Wehrmacht, although their artillery was inferior in number and caliber, but with a stronger fortress, they were still on a par with the Chinese army.

The Cossack army formed a position on the west bank of the Lena River and confronted the Chinese army across the river. The 21st Army of the National Defense Force was tasked with crossing the river, and at this moment, the army commander Cai Tingyuan was holding a telescope to observe the situation on the other side. "Lao Cai, how is the situation on the other side?" A middle-aged officer, also with the rank of lieutenant general, climbed the hill where Cai Tingyuan was.

Cai Tingyuan looked back and found that it was Wang Zhen, the commander of the 27th Army, since the cavalry unit was fully equipped with chariots, his cavalry division was canceled, and when choosing where to go, Wang Zhen gave up the Guards and transferred to the National Defense Army, and from that time on, he became a commander of the National Defense Army.

Wang Zhenfu went to Cai Tingyuan's side and also raised his telescope to look around. Cai Tingyuan replied at this time: "You can also take a look, the defense on the opposite side is very tight, and it is not easy to fight." ”

Wang Zhen said: "Let's do a few tentative attacks first, and then find a way when we find out the firepower configuration on the opposite side." ”

Cai Tingyuan said: "Not to mention other firepower, there are more than 100 artillery pieces that are firing at us now, and they are all difficult to destroy in a strong fortress. ”

Wang Zhen nodded: "I also think it's about the same, that's a team of 100,000 people, we have to be careful." ”

Cai Tingyuan said with a smile: "Aren't our two armies combined 100,000 people, what are you afraid of him?" ”

Wang Zhen said: "I'm afraid that the losses will be too big, and the war has just begun." ”

The Cossack army was much stronger than the Monte army, and although the rear was bombed to a pulp, the Cossack army in front still used strong fortifications to stubbornly resist the Chinese army, and showed no signs of retreating. Under the cover of military artillery, two battalions of the 27th Army first launched a forced crossing.

In inland operations, the infantry naturally could not march with assault boats on their backs, not to mention that the weight of the small motor was not low, and it was not something they could carry for a long time, so the army used rubber boats to cross the river. This kind of rubber boat used by the army is similar to the life raft of naval pilots, usually it is folded and placed, that is, it saves space and is lightweight, it is very convenient to carry, and when it is used, as long as it is full of gas, it can be used, and this kind of rubber boat is composed of dozens of compartments, even if it is damaged in one or two places, it will not sink completely.
