"It's an aerial shot!" When he saw a twin-engine plane hovering in the air, the major finally understood why, and the other party relied on aerial observation to indicate the target. However, there is another problem that he does not understand, whether Huaxia has artillery to accompany the troops' attack, judging from the reaction and firepower density of the other side, there must be at least two artillery groups, each of which has more than 8 howitzers to achieve the strike just now.

"The Type 29 assault gun is indeed all-powerful, there are two bad points, one is that the rate of fire is too slow, and the other is that the ammunition is too low, and 30 shells will not last long before they are gone!" Just after the destruction of the two German artillery units, a group of Type 29 assault guns retreated a little, and then joined up with the ammunition trucks that had followed. A LARGE GROUP OF LOGISTICIANS AND CREW MEMBERS PUT A HEAVY 122MM GRENADE AND A CARTRIDGE INTO THE HULL. These vehicles that have just been removed from the battlefield have more or less shrapnel scratches, and some of the parts placed outside the body are also incomplete, and in the process of firing with German howitzers just now, they are also covered by the enemy's artillery fire, but except for two tanks, one of which was directly hit and completely helpless, and the other was injured on one side of the walking gear, the rest of the tanks are almost all skin wounds. The Germans' artillery was still very accurate, but the power of the grenade was really nothing for the Type 4 assault gun, which could withstand the main gun of the No. 29 tank. The Chinese artillery group is not more than the Germans, but in actual combat, equipped with air guidance, armored and mobile assault guns are better than towed artillery! The comprehensive performance should be a notch higher!

The howitzers deployed by Manstein in the preface did not stop the advance of the Huaxia armored group, and the good days of the 170mm heavy guns deployed in the rear with almost the longest range on the battlefield were also over. Although the Germans concentrated a squadron of BF109 fighters to cover this important artillery position, they were under the fierce attack of the Chinese Air Force. This heavy artillery unit, protected by permanent fortifications, has finally reached their end! "The fifth and sixth heavy artillery battalions hope to be withdrawn from their current positions." A staff officer sent the information to Manstein, and two artillery battalions, one on the left and one on the right, were deployed in the rear of the German positions.

"WE PROVIDED EACH HEAVY ARTILLERY BATTALION WITH 4 COMPANIES OF 88MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS AND THREE COMPANIES WITH 40MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS. AS FOR THE 13MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT MACHINE GUN, EVEN MORE. If their safety is not guaranteed here, then where can they go? Manstein smiled wryly. The artillery deployed on the front line failed to delay the opponent's attack, so now the long-range fire support of the entire defense line is completely dependent on these two heavy artillery battalions, if it were not for their survival, the infantry in China could have deployed faster, and then cleared the remaining German troops in the trenches one by one, and then shattered the entire defense line, in this case, how could Manstein allow these two heavy artillery battalions like pillars to withdraw from their positions?

"Didn't the Huaxia Air Force launch several unsuccessful attacks? Get in touch with the Air Force. Let them continue to cooperate with the anti-aircraft artillery units for defense. Manstein commanded. The Air Force also believes that the two artillery units should be withdrawn. The fighting between the two air forces has been going on around this place for a long time, and so many resources are tied up here that the air forces are in a very passive situation, and they don't think it's safe here. Soon, the staff officer brought the opinion of the air force with him, but this opinion was ignored for Manstein, who was strained on the front line, and when Manstein refused to retreat from the heavy artillery unit, the Huaxia air force finally got tired of the endless struggle around the two fortresses. The Sniper Wing is on the strike again, and they are going to destroy these two pillars of German long-range firepower in one fell swoop! Solve the problem once and for all.

"Captain, according to the radar, they seem to have abandoned the tactics of low-altitude bombing. The next wave of aircraft will enter at an altitude of about 5,000 meters, and there is no intention of descending altitude. Philips Ensign heard the voice of his teammate in his ears. At this time, the second lieutenant was not as energetic as he had been in the attack on the watchtower AWACS a few days earlier, and the pressure and fatigue caused by the death of his friend and the long and fierce fighting almost crushed the excellent Luftwaffe pilot. After shooting down that strange plane, Ensign Philips received a medal and a bonus. But the most valuable leave was not for him, and he was temporarily appointed as the squadron leader of a fighter squadron. The first three squadron leaders of this squadron have either been turned into dry bones or are lying in the hospital. Just two days ago, he and his squadron maintained a high-intensity battle of almost 2.5 takeoffs and landings a day. At this time, he was somewhat numb.

"Oh, I know, leave a squad on guard at low altitude, and the others will climb with me to prepare to meet the enemy." Almost instinctively driven, Philips Ensign commanded to meet him, and Philips Ensign, who had witnessed the Huaxia Wanglou early warning aircraft, was fortunate to see another trump card of the Huaxia Air Force this time - the sniper bomber wing! But this time, the second lieutenant's luck was not so good, because next to the sniper wing were 2 squadrons of fighters, and the second lieutenant had only 8 BF109 fighters in his hands! Coupled with the defensive firepower of the Sniper Wing bombers' own firepower, the battle seemed to be clear before it even began.

"The plane seems to have taken part in the attack on the watchtower, and according to the recollections of the crew members who participated in the battle at the time, this guy marked each wing with three red lines!" What Philips didn't expect was that he had been blacklisted by the Huaxia Air Force, and the loss of the watchtower made Qin Yue furious, and Philips, as one of the culprits, was also remembered! And because the eyewitness testimonies of the survivors and participants at that time were relatively confusing, it was not only Philips itself that was finally blacklisted by the Huaxia Air Force, but the others were included as long as they were a little bit on the paint! So much so that many German pilots wondered why the other side fought as they did as soon as they engaged. Everyone flies the same plane, why do you pull hatred like this?

(The paint on the skin of the aircraft in World War 2 was mainly used to identify the unit to which they belonged, and each squadron would have its own team emblem, and later with the development of skin culture, people began to draw some content on the plane that marked their own achievements, or purely for the sake of aesthetic painting.) The simpler ones use a star to represent an airplane, while the more complex ones draw a ship on the tail to indicate that they have destroyed a transport ship. And these liveries that reflect the record also make the opponent realize the weight of the opponent he is facing from the side. You can even know that the other party is the pilot. ）

However, this time, the Chinese pilots have no intention of looking for their opponents, at least not for the time being. The loss of the watchtower has made the Huaxia fighter pilots realize the importance of escort, and this time it is an equally important special aircraft, so even if the other party may be the culprit in destroying the watchtower, it will have to wait until the sniper has finished dropping the bomb before acting.

The fighters of the two squadrons were divided into two groups, one of which remained on alert at high altitude, while the other group accompanied the six bombers to descend in altitude and formed a safe air corridor. When the altitude dropped to 4,000 meters, six bombers each locked onto the target with optical lenses. Then, under the radio command, a 500KG semi-armor-piercing bomb broke away from the air at an altitude of 4,000 meters and rushed to the target at an extremely high speed!

"It's a guided bomb! The artillery positions are finished! "After Philips got rid of a Shicha Falcon that rushed from the side, he just saw the process of the sniper dropping bombs, the route of these planes is very regular, and the 6 bombs draw a very strange route in the air, he has heard that the Huaxia Air Force is equipped with this weapon, so he recognized these things for the first time.

The penetration capability of a 500KG semi-armor-piercing bomb dropped from an altitude of 4000 meters is not something that a 250KG bomb thrown from a shallow dive at a low altitude can resist. The bombs dropped at this height rushed downward with great kinetic energy, and even the horizontal armor of the battleship could penetrate it! Not to mention just a 1-meter-thick layer of concrete! The round, blunt bullet slammed into the concrete roof. The violent impact directly threw the smashed concrete into the air, and then exploded headlong, and when it was halfway through, an explosion occurred, and the huge energy generated by nearly 100 kilograms of explosives quickly transmitted to the entire top cover along the gap created by the impact. Under the violent vibration and tearing, accompanied by a loud bang, the entire concrete roof collapsed. Fragments weighing hundreds of kilograms or even tons fell down, completely burying the artillery and personnel inside.

In order to completely destroy this point of support. 6 BOMBERS ATTACKED BACK AND FORTH THREE TIMES, DROPPING 18 ROUNDS OF 500KG BOMBS. Completely destroy all gun emplacements, observation posts, and all kinds of equipment inside the bunker. Another heavy artillery position was destroyed almost at the same time. So. Manstein's long-range artillery support system almost collapsed. At this moment, the armored force that Manstein had gathered was also completely defeated with the cooperation of the Huaxia Air Force and the Army.

The Germans' actions could not be concealed by the Huaxia reconnaissance planes, which had been hovering in the air, and under the cover of a large number of opponents' Shicha Falcon and a small number of Spitfires, the Foxbat attack planes, carrying new pylons and ammunition, began to attack again and again. "These guys with two tails are like a group of twin demons, the lower part of their wings is mounted with the rocket team of cheats, these slender weapons are fixed by a special pylon, each plane can project a large number of rockets to a certain area in a very short time, they are even more deadly than Huaxia's rocket artillery, these guys will fly over your head at an altitude of about 100 meters, and then shoot all the rockets at a distance of several hundred meters, A single plane can turn the ground in hundreds of square meters into a sea of fire, and these rockets are so powerful that even tank armor can be penetrated. And those bombs thrown in a barrage were the killers of the infantry, and these bombs fell in patches among the trucks and soldiers, walking more evenly and with more power than simple letter bombs. Before we encountered the opposing armored forces, we had already lost about 40% of our lightly armored vehicles and more than half of our trucks! An officer wrote in his summary after the war. And then simple statements do not objectively describe the terrible fate of this German unit.

Although the hit of a 35-pound anti-tank rocket is not high, there is only a few percent probability that it can hit the target, but the number of rockets as many as 24 rounds of an aircraft is enough to make up for the lack of accuracy, and theoretically a plane can hit a tank in one voyage! AND ONCE HIT, UNDER THE ACTION OF THE ARMOR-PIERCING WARHEAD, THE HIGH-ENERGY JET GENERATED BY THE HOLLOW WARHEAD IS ENOUGH TO PENETRATE MORE THAN 100MM ARMOR! No tank has such a thick top armor, so it is almost certain that the tank will be paralyzed if it hits. What's more, these rockets fall in dense formations, scattered over an area of several hundred square meters, maybe cuddling grass and rabbits, and hitting other things, such as a hapless truck or infantry.

The target of the first round of attack aircraft is usually the enemy's anti-aircraft fire, and after a round of rocket and cannon strikes, the aircraft carrying various bombs continue to attack. When the Huaxia Air Force withdrew, the Germans, who had just formed up and continued to advance, were attacked by long-range rocket artillery, which, with the help of aerial reconnaissance, broke away from the rear, quickly advanced under the cover of a small number of troops, and then poured tons of ammunition on the target in a very short time before leaving. The entire force was horrified by air and ground blows, with destroyed vehicles and dead officers and men everywhere along the way. Even a broken transport vehicle on a highway stretches for hundreds of meters. This is the result of more than a dozen flying fox bombers dropping sub-bombs at low altitudes, thousands of slender bombs turning the place into a sea of fire, and the ensuing cannon fire destroys the fish that slipped through the net one by one.

In the one-day battle, although the Huaxia Air Force achieved a lot of results, but was also hit hard by the Luftwaffe was beaten all over the body, the Luftwaffe invested a large number of aircraft to drive away the Huaxia attack aircraft, and even the Germans also hung a single 20MM or even 30MM cannon pod under the BF109 wing. During a full day of air raids, the Huaxia Air Force lost a full squadron of attack aircraft and 24 fighters, while the Luftwaffe also threw out 40 aircraft of various kinds. But in the end, the losses were worth it, and when the Chinese armored forces met the mutilated German armored forces, it was almost a one-sided slaughter. AFTER LOSING A LARGE NUMBER OF 88MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS, AND THROWING AWAY A LARGE NUMBER OF ACCOMPANYING INFANTRY AND TOWED GUNS, THE REMAINING TANK 4 AND TANK DESTROYER WERE COMPLETELY POWERLESS AGAINST THE COMBINED PUNCHES OF THE TYPE 29 TANK CREW WITH VARIOUS FIRE SUPPORT. The Germans were clever in their tactics, hoping to rely on smoke and decoys to make a detour, but due to the interference of air power and the disparity in equipment, Manstein's most promising route was quickly defeated.
