The field airfield in Minusinsk was already full of people: "Eight tall lighthouses illuminated the entire tarmac, and the soldiers pushed the 25 and 5 kg aerial bombs that had just been unloaded from the train all the way to the belly of the aircraft, and then carried it and fixed it on the pylon, and then unplugged the safety bomb on it; In this era, night flights are still very dangerous, but fortunately, as soon as you fly north, the sky will start to gradually brighten, and the bomber can complete the positioning with visual vision.

However, for the sake of safety, "the Air Force still adopted the method of flying at large intervals, that is, the air distance of each group of bombers was stretched out for three minutes, and after the bombers had taken off, the single-seat tactical attack machine took off immediately after, and then re-formed in the air before arriving in Tomsk."

Due to the mechanical failure of the two bombers and still in emergency repairs", so a total of 28 of them participated in the bombing, and next to them was the 48 air forces that arrived in the transfer yesterday, the "Tempest" single-seat tactical attack aircraft, which was improved from the F4 Mustang fighter, although it could not be so perverted as the dive bomber in later generations, "but in order to improve the hit rate, the designers installed a fixed dive angle meter for it" The pilot can avoid being brought into the dangerous 6-degree large-angle dive channel by inertia according to the angle meter. Provincial serious dangers such as disintegration of the body structure.

Because there is no need to fold the wings, plus a liquid-cooled engine with the same horsepower does not need to install a radiator of nearly 1 kg, which can save a lot of weight, so the Storm attack aircraft can carry one carrying 5 kg bombs, and the combat radius has also reached 5 kilometers "If the bomb is replaced with a drop fuel tank, the transfer range can even reach 17 kilometers."

However, this time they were carrying 25 kg bombs, and the 5 kg type was all accepted by Lipeng, which was due to the fact that Tomsk was 49 kilometers away, and after the bombers dropped the bombs, the storm had to continue to support the 6th Army for point bombing, and it was necessary to hover in the sky for a period of additional fuel consumption.

As for the falcons, they could only stare at this time, "because even if they hang 125 kg of bombs, their range is not enough to fly nearly 5 kilometers away and then come back after bombing, so they will wait until dawn to cooperate with the 6th Army attack."

And this time Emperor Li didn't dare to play pilot bombing again, "Although the Tomsk Fortress did not have a special air defense system as it was when the Minose Sinsk Fortress was built, it also had a lot of anti-aircraft guns, so he could only honestly see off the pilots."

"Is Nagayama's fourth mechanized infantry division out?" There are two armored regiments and an infantry regiment, and Shen Hao is taking the remaining troops of the 1st Cavalry Division and the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division to attack the 7th Division of the Ural Cossack Army stationed in Volonikolaevsk. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Sun Jiugong, who accompanied him, replied: "This is a Cossack cavalry division, about 30,000 people," but Nicholas II's army pulled up, "but there is a serious shortage of guns and ammunition," and now the Atlantic route has been turned upside down by the lead fleet, so the cavalry is seriously short of guns. ”

Li Mo smiled slightly, the tragedy in the First World War in later generations was Russia, armed with more than 10 million troops, but an average of three people have a gun, although after the fiasco of the last war, "Nicholas II and Russia purchased a large number of rifle reserves from the United States, France and other countries in advance, but they can only keep one for two people."

The only surprise was that when Nicholas II did not have time to equip the dangerous Western Front with enough guns, "the three million troops on the Eastern Front basically had one gun per man", and he really looked up to himself.

It is impossible for two armored regiments and one infantry regiment to take down the fortress, and even if it is defeated, it will not be able to prevent the rescue troops from urgently retreating from the perimeter, so whether the air force can quickly take out the main firepower of the fortress and provide continuous air interdiction today, and whether the subsequent four infantry divisions and one cavalry division can arrive quickly has become the key.

Air interdiction is a difficult task, and the threat of the Russian army lacking air defense weapons is not very great, but it is a big test of the pilot's physical strength, according to the plan, the 2nd Air Division will be dispatched at least today like a sortie to protect the 4th Infantry Division's smooth attack on the fortress, this bombing volume is not worth mentioning in World War II, but it was still a relatively terrifying number in the early stage of World War I.

According to calculations, "that is, every pilot has to fly at least four sorties today, and nearly ten hours" is also a big test for the fighter itself.

Li Mo glanced at Sun Jiugong again, and couldn't help admiring this general under Zhang Zuoshuang in later history, "After studying in Germany and a series of follow-up advanced studies and actual combat tests, this guy has already exuded dazzling military command ability" No one thought that he would boldly change the auxiliary attack in the Northwest Theater and formulate this bold horizontal attack; After years of front-line leadership and understanding of mechanization, "he saw a major turning point in the 6-war mode after the emergence of tanks" and promoted this rare and roundabout military operation.

Not long ago, when Guderian was first showing his edge, Sun Jiugong had already set his sights on the former concept of armored mobility and large corps combat: "He will surely become famous in the world with the continuous expansion of the armored forces of the Chinese Sixth Army."

It was also his plan that attracted him to Chengdu here, and he was ready to personally observe the great battle that could change the entire northwest war in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Li Mo moved his mouth, and wanted to ask him about his follow-up offensive strategy, but at this time, the red anti-collision lights on the wings and fuselage of the first Eelpeng bomber had been lit, and three green signal flares were also raised in front of the runway, which meant that the bomber squadron would set sail again.

The engine began to roar, and the propeller brought a halo of light under the illumination of the light, and because this time it was almost a heavy take-off, "so the first Eelpeng slowly pulled up the nose after taxiing on the concrete runway for nearly a kilometer.

The airfield began to release bombers every three minutes, looking at the war eagles shining with a unique metallic color under the lights" Li Mo took a deep breath, and was just about to continue the topic, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw Du Dazhuang and Li Enfu running over in the distance sweating profusely" His eyebrows couldn't help jumping.

"Your Majesty, Chen Pinglai's urgent telegram."

"Read it." Li Mo looked at the storm attack plane that began to enter the runway and raised his hand.

"At 2 o'clock yesterday morning US time," the Cuban telegraph station transmitted the news that the Dentin Lake had safely arrived in the Caribbean Sea and joined the tankers there, and the Guam with the Medan and the Tumen River also ambushed several Spanish and French fleets off the coast of Gibraltar, sinking a total of 13 freighters and two escort cruisers, but the fleet was also attacked by two British submarines............"

"Submarine?! It's not serious! Before Du Dazhuang finished speaking, Li Mo turned around and asked anxiously.

"Fortunately, in time, the Tumen River sank one of them, and although the other one hit the Medan with a torpedo, the British torpedo explosion was not powerful enough, and an anti-torpedo compartment on the port side of the Medan was damaged. Li Enfu knew what Li Mo was worried about, and immediately comforted him.

After listening to Li Enfu's words, Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief, Britain and the United States did not pay much attention to torpedoes during World War I, "so there has not been a charge similar to that of a spear, which is almost perverted, and the Guam-class underwater protection measures are designed according to World War II standards, with three layers of bottom, thick anti-torpedo armor walls, and watertight compartments lined to save it, so after being hit, there was only a damaged compartment, but it was also a warning that "as more and more British and American warships gather in the Atlantic to search for them" It's time to let the fleet come back.

"What did Xiuyan do in Gibraltar? It was a key area for Britain and France! According to his thoughts, he should stay in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean at this moment and use naval guns to stir up the 1st channel, so that the United States can no longer support the European pair.

"He's doing it!"

Li Mo's words made Li Enfu nod, Gibraltar is not only a strategic node of the Atlantic route, "close to Germany", where the threat means that the Atlantic shipping lanes of the Entente will be paralyzed, and the fleet can also be attacked there, and it can also put on the illusion that it is ready to break into the North Sea and go to Germany, "Such an enraged Britain and the United States and other countries will definitely desperately mobilize warships there, which will inevitably cause the defense force of the United States to reduce sharply on the east coast."

Although Sun Jiugong still doesn't know the real reason for Li Xiuyan, "but after listening to Li Mo's words, he also vaguely guessed that something might be related to the United States."

"Mr. Li" you immediately telegraphed to Chen Ping, asking him to contact Germany, telling them that 3, the fleet would break through the blockade of the North Sea, and ask them to help cover it. ”

Li Enfu nodded, let the German Navy move again at this time, it is estimated that the whole world will think that the fleet is going to Germany, so immediately go to the Air Force Communication Center.

"Da Zhuang, immediately notify the airport, the Royal No. 1 will be ready within the time, we must rush to Beijing tonight."

"Yes."

After Du Dazhuang took the order and left," Li Mo turned to look at Sun Jiugong and said, "I have already reported to Chen Ping" The two reserve infantry divisions that have arrived in Urumqi and assembled will detour to Tomsk via Balkhash in 2 days, you tell Yongshan that the General Staff has assured me that the first batch of logistics truck regiments will arrive in Balkhash by train from Urumqi today, and they will deliver at least 5 tons of ammunition and supplies to him within this month, "So we must do a good job of clearing and protecting along the way."

In addition, I think Tomsk must have a lot of food and ammunition in stock, so what you have to do is to attack as much as possible, hold off the Russian troops in front of them and not give them a chance to return reinforcements, and use all means to take advantage of the next month to increase Tomsk's material reserves.

This is a critical month, combine the advantages of the Air Force and tanks, don't give the Russian army a little respite, as long as it drags on until the end of the month, we don't have to do it, God will clean them up! ”

"Yes."

At the same time as Sun Jiugong answered, a roar sounded on the runway again, and the Storm attack plane rushed to the end of the runway.
