Chapter One Thousand and Eight

Although the technical level of the Wehrmacht Air Force has reached the point of being ahead of the times, it cannot be compared with the 'science fiction' fighters and bombers of later generations. Don't say that, even if it's a B-17 or B-29 from World War II, I'm afraid there's no way to compare.

It is also because of this relationship that although the air defense capability of the Russians is still very immature, it is still a certain threat after all. Especially as time went on, the Russians' air defense became stronger and stronger, and according to the information obtained by the secret service, the Russians were also considering transferring a number of aviation units from the Russian mainland to the Caucasus battlefield.

If that were the case, it would be very difficult to maintain a low number of casualties.

In fact, so far, although the bombing of the air force has indeed achieved excellent results. But casualties are not impossible, but usually if they can parachute, pilots will choose to parachute, and even if they can't, they usually try to crash the plane as close to the Turkish Army as possible.

In this way, the Turks were able to 'recover' these people as quickly as possible―――――― perhaps because of good luck, although the number of bombers and fighters that were taken by chance during this period was not particularly small, but none of them fell into the hands of the Russians, which also made the Russians' attempt to capture some prisoners or get a few corpses of Chinese pilots, and then directly question the Chinese in vain.

However, this does not mean that the Russians have given up, and at the same time, the luck of the present does not mean that they will always be lucky in the future, after all, no one knows how long the goddess of luck will favor them.

If it's any day. Lady Luck is no longer in her favor, so...

Maybe it won't be particularly troublesome. But that would certainly be the result that the Nationalist government did not want to see.

So, we have to think of a solution. It can support the Turks strongly, but at the same time will not implicate itself.

Then, getting some pilots from Britain and France and other countries to fly fighter planes and bombers to carry out operations has become the best option.

In fact, the advantages of this are indeed very numerous, first of all, if this is done, the officers and men of the Air Force do not need to continue to take risks. You must know that during this period of time, the Defense Air Force has also paid a large number of casualties.

Although these casualties are somewhat insignificant compared to those of the Russians. But it still makes many people feel sorry, after all, they are so young. In their homeland, there are also their families and even lovers waiting for them to return...

Heart-to-heart, without affecting the interests of the country, whether it is Yan Shao or whom, will hope to avoid letting these young soldiers give their lives as much as possible―――――― even if they do not resist it...

In addition to this, with mercenaries, it is also possible to eliminate some of the influences. Moreover, although it is a mercenary, the combat capability of the Air Force is obviously much faster than that of the Army. This is also a priority that needs to be considered.

After all, for pilots, if they want to restore their flying skills, they only need some restorative training. After that, you can fly the plane directly in the air. Anyway, for the aviation forces of this era, things like formations are very useful. But it has not been used to the point where it is indispensable.

Anyway, now the Commune government just needs them to fly over the heads of the Russians and drop the bombs or something.

The Army, on the other hand, is much more troublesome. After all, the words of the Army. A lot of restorative training is also required. Especially in terms of discipline, for which it has been retired for a long time. Even for soldiers who have become addicted to alcohol and drugs, there is probably no time for them to recover their instincts...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

For the Chinese government intends to transfer bombers and fighters to mercenaries. The idea of being driven by mercenaries and helping the Turks in their wars. Although Britain and France were a little reluctant, they had no reason to refuse after all, so after a period of time, they nodded and agreed.

Subsequently, a large number of foreign mercenaries began to enter Turkey, including both British and French, Americans and Italians, and even a certain number of Germans―――――― of course, the latter of which were very small. Not even enough for a basketball team.

At the same time, the government sent some pilots to serve as instructors, so that these mercenaries, who had only flown Fokker or some other planes, could understand the most advanced aviation technology of this era. At the same time, the Communist government also sent a group of engineers to help the Turks establish a number of field airfields in the rear.

It turned out that getting these pilots back on the plane was not a difficult thing to do. In just a few days, there are already pilots who can fly the plane relatively smoothly. Of course, this also has to do with the fact that they are drivers in the first place.

In the bombing missions that followed, the pilots of bombers and fighters gradually changed from the Wehrmacht Air Force to mercenaries. Naturally, these Russians must not know, after all, their eyes have not yet seen the appearance of the pilot in the cabin through the belly of the steel plate.

But for these flies, who have to drop bombs on their heads almost every day, the Russians hate them in their hearts.

In fact, during this time, the Russians have launched many more aggressive offensives. However, in the end, all of them were interrupted by the bombing of the air force, and even if they barely held on, they ended up in a situation where morale was severely attacked.

Of course, if the Russians were helpless just because of the air raids, then they probably did not have the ability to drive Britain, France, the United States and Germany out of Russian territory, and finally won the civil war in Soviet Russia.

So soon the Russians came up with a corresponding solution, which was actually very simple, that is, a night attack.

There is no doubt that in such an era, night combat is definitely a very good way to fight. At least in the Korean War, when the Volunteer Army, which did not have air supremacy, fought the Americans in this way. There is no doubt that the Americans at that time were in terms of equipment and combat capabilities. It's definitely much better than these Russians. But even so, the Americans still had a headache under the night attack of the volunteers.

And in the same way, night raids are used to deal with targets that are similar to or stronger than themselves. Especially in later generations, it is because of the lack of air supremacy. The equipment is not as good as the people, so the tactic of night attack is chosen. After all, it is only at night that you can use the night to shrink the opponent's equipment as much as possible.

This time, however, the Russians were significantly better equipped than the Turks, and the same was true in terms of morale and combat capability, less than air supremacy.

It was also because of this relationship that when the Russians launched a night attack and launched a huge night offensive against the Turks. The Turks were almost literally driven out of the line by the Russians with this tactic.

If someone looked down from the night sky at that time, and there was also an infrared night vision device's eyes. It can be seen very clearly that a large number of Russian troops sneaked out of their own positions, and only after they were very close to the Turkish positions did they launch an extremely dense charge.

Under the flashing lights, the figures of these Russian soldiers disappeared from time to time.

The Turks, who were penetrated by the Russian army to such a close distance, were also very frightened, and in the panic, the Russian army attacked the position at a very small cost. And with the advantage of individual combat ability, it was very easy to solve the Turks on the position.

Originally, the matter seemed to be a foregone conclusion here, after all, the Russians had already killed. The Turks were obviously not capable of driving the Russians out, and all they had to do was to flee as they had done before, and then reorganize themselves under the cover of the air force.

However, right inside the headquarters. Vladimir and the others had already begun to hold a celebration banquet, and even when some officers had already brought out the drinks used for the celebration, they did not expect that the Air Force, which was already completely controlled by mercenaries, would do so much...

Just when the Russian army has captured almost a third of the positions of the Turkish army. And just as they were advancing to the other two-thirds, a large number of air forces suddenly arrived. These air forces did not bomb the Russian troops who were constantly coming in the middle of the two armies. Instead, he used the light of the fire on the ground to directly carry out a carpet bombardment of the Russian soldiers on the Turkish army's position, and even the Turkish army that was entangled with the Russian army.

It can well be imagined. When the two groups are entangled and desperate for each other, how deadly the bomb will be at this time. Almost instantly, the Turks, who were still fighting, were blown into the sky by the waves of air carried up by the aerial bombs, and some of them were directly torn apart.

Those who were farther away were also pushed into the trenches, and the more miserable ones were directly shocked to death.

However, after a while, the Turkish army and the Russian army on the position were actually hit hard at the same time, but correspondingly, I am afraid that the casualties of the Russian army were greater. After all, after the Russian army attacked the position, the number of Turkish soldiers who continued to resist on the position was very small, and a considerable number of them had already begun to 'strategic shift'. It was precisely because of this that, after the Russians paid a great price, soon the Turkish troops, who had already retreated, began to make a comeback...

Perhaps because they were stunned by the bombing, the Russians had almost no power to fight back in the face of the Turks' counterattack. Although some Russians tried to stabilize their positions, they were eventually pushed out by the Turks, and at the same time, the aviation unit that carried out the second bombing mission did not carry out humane destruction of the Turkish troops and the Russian troops on the positions this time, but bombed the Russian soldiers who had come up with reinforcements in the open space between the two armies.

Although the bombing effect was slightly worse because of the craters in the middle, it was still much stronger than the Turkish position.

In the case of no follow-up, although the Russian army's will to fight is much stronger than that of the Turkish army, but in the case of being outnumbered, these Russian troops were finally pushed out of position by the Turkish army. As a result, the night's efforts were almost all in vain, and a lot of troops were lost.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

It is because of this relationship that the Russians almost gnash their teeth at the Turkish Air Force―――――― yes, the Turkish Air Force, since the change of pilots, these aviation units have become much bolder in their operations.

The original Wehrmacht Air Force was afraid that the pilots would fall into the hands of the Russians. So when carrying out bombing missions, safety is usually the main priority, even if some bombers are shot down. In the end, it also fell far away from the Russian army.

But this time it was different, because there was no need to worry about the identity being revealed. Therefore, the aviation units of the Turkish army are very bold, often bombing the positions of the Russian army, and sometimes those fighters even make a cameo appearance as a dive bomber.

Of course, the price of such a wave is not a small loss. However, another gain from this is that some bombers and planes have fallen on or near Russian positions. After some identification of the pilots' remains, the Russians soon confirmed that the pilots were not Chinese, but Europeans like them...

This discovery naturally dispersed the anger of the Russians, which was mainly focused on Chinese―――――― although the Russians had no evidence in the past, but basically everyone had already decided that those aviation units were Chinese. After all, the Turks certainly did not have the ability to form an aviation unit of such a large scale.

But now it seems that this is clearly a misunderstanding.

Of course, the anger is only dispersed, not completely gone.

After all, although the pilot is not Chinese, the planes must be provided by China, because those planes basically have Chinese numbers on them, which is very easy to confirm.

However, when the Russians approached China with these as evidence, the answer from the Kuomintang government made the Russians choke on suddenly.

"If it is wrong for us to supply equipment to the Turks, then what should our country count as supplying weapons and equipment to your country?"

Even today, in fact. The Russian government is still receiving weapons and equipment from the Communist government. Therefore, the reason why the Russians came to the door is naturally not valid, and the Russians naturally know this, but the Russians have always been quite unreasonable. That's why I ignore this, just thinking that if I get the evidence, the Chinese should not be able to defend it...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

I thought I got the evidence. It can make the Chinese unable to justify, and in the end there are only Russians who frankly admit their mistakes. In the face of China's 'quibbling', it is naturally irritated. But there is no way to refute it. After all, as the Communist government said, it would be a heinous crime to supply the Turks with weapons and equipment. What's that for you?

Of the blackest dye? Or is it full of evil?

Naturally, if the Russians could be so simply settled, then many things in this world would be much easier.

Originally, the purpose of the Russians this time was to make Chinese admit their mistakes, withdraw the air force, stop supporting Turkey, and even let China compensate Russia to a certain extent――――――. Compared with China, which is rich in oil, the gap can be described as huge...

Therefore, if it can make a fortune from China, it will definitely help Russia's restoration plan.

But now, now that their wishes have been shattered, the Russians naturally want to vent their anger in their chests. It's just that this anger must not be directed at China, after all, China is Russia's biggest supporter, not only some domestic industrial construction, but even weapons and ammunition are provided by China―――――― which is also the second reason why Yan Shao only put more than one million troops on the Russian border to face Russia twice as much as himself.

Although the Russian army is large, reaching more than 5 million, the Russian industry is far from being able to support such a large army to fight, even at home.

Therefore, if a full-scale conflict really breaks out, perhaps with excellent commanders and brave soldiers, the Russians can indeed fight a more beautiful battle in the early days. But just wait until the domestic ammunition reserves are exhausted, and the production capacity of the domestic industry cannot keep up ...

The Russians probably have no choice but to retreat...

Even, in the case of the Russians' lack of ammunition, if the Wehrmacht wanted, they could even advance all the way to Moscow―――――― during which the Russians built a lot of roads on the border in order to confront the Wehrmacht, so there was no need to worry about the muddy roads on the East European Plain that might hinder the Wehrmacht.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Perhaps because their wishes were not fulfilled, or perhaps because of their annoyed and angry relationship, the Russians intensified their offensive after severing contact with the Nationalist government.

The Turks were exhausted by successive night raids, and in a few cases they were almost torn open by the Russians in their defensive lines. On the other hand, with the arrival of the Russian Aeronautical Forces, the Russians were not satisfied with mere nighttime efforts, and began to renew their frontal offensive against the Turks under the cover of the Aeronautical Forces...

If we talk about the performance of fighters, then the Wehrmacht fighters are definitely superior to those of Russia.

But after all, these are just mercenaries, and they are of all nationalities. They may be very skilled, but when it comes to coordination and discipline, I am afraid that there is no way to compare with the Russians.

And these two points are especially important on the battlefield, after all, even if it was Erich back then? Hartmann, with the help of his wingman, was able to achieve such an astonishing record.

Perhaps in the world of the Air Force, the performance of the aircraft does determine a lot. But the same goes for discipline and coordination, and if it's just a rabble, then no matter how good the plane is, there's nothing to worry about. (To be continued......)
