"Two armored battalions and three infantry battalions! Hayden, the Allies have pinned their hopes of victory on me, and I pin my hopes of victory on you. I don't have any more troops to waste! I

I only have a total of 4 regiments of combat troops in hand, and 1 armored regiment and 1 infantry regiment are all handed over to you. Fight hard!" before issuing the final attack.

Before issuing the order to attack, Schrager said this to Haydn. As he said, Schrager almost wiped out all the assets of the Austro-Hungarian Army. If they can't win, there is really nothing they can do. This force even exceeds

The initial attack, the first attack on the Russian Legion's second line of defense, had only 4 battalions of troops, including only one armored battalion.

Schrager and Hayden repeatedly deduced every detail on the sand table to make up for all imaginable oversights and loopholes. Considering that the opponent might use long-range artillery to suppress it, Schrager specifically adjusted the position of the 150mm cannon and also arranged for the air force to attack the opponent's

The artillery positions were suppressed. Considering that the opponent might once again launch an armored assault on one's flanks, Schrager specifically used the night to move the anti-tank gun positions forward and deploy them on both wings of the attacking force to provide cover. Considering that the opponent's depth would be relatively long

,Can

It can also add minefields or obstacles. Schrag specially strengthened the engineering force accompanying the troops to clear obstacles along the way. Even the Russian infantry likes to use submachine guns and has strong close combat firepower. Schrag has taken into account the problem.

Grid specially concentrated the submachine guns of other troops and distributed them to the attacking troops. All imaginable problems have been dealt with, and even the plan of the Austro-Hungarian troops to use the early movement to attack positions at night to shorten the attack distance has been arranged. Just waiting for tomorrow

The attack began at dawn.

The Austrians were prepared to fight tooth and nail, and the Russians also spent money on the most crucial battle in this battle. Their task was to firmly attract their opponents, and then beat them when the Chinese Air Force and Army launched a counterattack. Considering the heavy equipment

Disadvantage. General Galen decisively gave up the forward position and placed the main force in a further rear position. In the early stage of the battle, he would use a small number of troops to rely on fortifications to delay the opponent, and cooperate with

The artillery blocked the opponent's attack path. Considering the existence of the opponent's long-range artillery, he also reset the artillery position and moved the heavy artillery position to the back, out of the opponent's 150mm cannon strike range. Anyway, someone had to deal with the Austro-Hungarian Empire's heavy artillery, so he

There is no need to worry. After the layout was completed, General Galen still had some expectations for the Chinese strategic bomber force. He wanted to know how this air raid would be like.

When the artillery fire of the Austro-Hungarian Army roared again, Major General Haydn's new and final round of attack finally launched. Schrager did not miss his words. He concentrated all his strength to help Haydn break through the opponent's position.

Flames rose from the artillery positions at the rear, and the rain-like shells covered the tanks and infantry as they slowly advanced. The Austro-Hungarian Empire, which had already suffered losses, was fighting steadily. They were fighting on the tanks.

Under the cover of the K and artillery, trenches and minefields were being cleared. The Austro-Hungarian Army was like a bulldozer clearing all obstacles on the way forward. Perhaps it was the consumption in the previous period that caused the Russian Army to suffer huge losses in personnel.

Now, more reliance is placed on long-range firepower to block the opponent rather than close combat. Everything is as expected by Schrager. He is already very tired, and the opponent is even more tired than himself.

The Austro-Hungarian Army was like a long hair, piercing into the opponent's position and constantly tearing apart the opponent's defense line horizontally and deeply. The initial attack went very smoothly. But as time went by, the situation changed

!The Chinese Air Force has dispatched in large numbers! Although this was also expected by Schrager,

But some of the opponent's actions made him confused! They did not invest many bombers and attack aircraft, as if the Austro-Hungarian army below did not exist at all. As soon as they entered the position, they began to chase the Austro-Hungarian aircraft group, scaring away the low-altitude aircraft.

After the attack aircraft, they began to spare no effort to deal with the fighter jets in the air.

"General, the opponent's planes are flying towards us in depth. Although this situation often happened in the past few days, today it seems that the number and the distance of the intrusion are a bit large." Before the staff reported this intelligence, Schrager did not

He was not worried about today's battle, but after hearing the news, he couldn't help but gasped. "The other party is conducting reconnaissance on our rear, and this process has been going on for a long time.

How long has it been? But what is the purpose of doing this? We are about to hit their doorstep. Does this really make sense?" Schrager fell into deep thought, and at this time, the Chinese Air Force Command was

The location and order of the attack targets were finally verified based on the intelligence from the reconnaissance aircraft. The strategic bomber force flying from the east coast of the Caspian Sea was about to cross the border between Iran and the Ottoman Empire and enter the two river basins!

"It's time to break the radio silence and prepare to assign tasks." In the combat plan, except for the initial takeoff formation and the assignment of attack tasks before entering the battlefield, the entire fleet must minimize radio communications. This will reduce the possibility of exposure.

China did overestimate its opponents. The Austro-Hungarian Empire lacked reliable electronic reconnaissance equipment, and the Germans did not have systematic electronic reconnaissance aircraft. Until the Chinese strategic bomber wing appeared within the opponent's visual distance, the Austro-Hungarian Army did not discover its opponent at all.

!

The entire fleet formed a squadron into a total of 12 huge box formations. Each box had 16 heavy bombers. In front of them were auxiliary aircraft groups responsible for guidance and electronic interference, while above them and on both wings were escorts.

fighter jets. In addition to air-to-air combat, these aircraft will also suppress the opponent's anti-aircraft firepower to cooperate with bomber groups.

It is different from when the Germans bombed Italian cities. If the former is a dungeon difficulty, then this time the Chinese Air Force faces a monster difficulty, or the simple 50% HP type! Whether the German strategic bomber force succeeds or

If it fails, at least the opponent has early warning, has more fighter jets, and has strong anti-aircraft firepower on the ground. Even in the initial strategic bombing, the German Air Force was afraid of the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery and did not dare to lower the altitude too much, 5,000 meters

Dropping bombs at a high altitude solved the problem. But this time it was different. The Austro-Hungarian Army did not receive advance warning, and the few fighter jets in the air were driven away. There would be no air interception before entering the battlefield, but after entering the battlefield?

The number of anti-aircraft artillery accompanying the Hungarian Army is limited. And the deployment is very scattered. More importantly, many anti-aircraft artillery are decentralized to the grassroots level for anti-tank or bunker knocking. This kind of loose deployment cannot be faced with a large-scale strategic bomber force.

It poses no threat!

"What's the sound?" An Austro-Hungarian officer raised his head warily, and a sound like a sea wave came from a distance. At this time, smoke was billowing on the battlefield. Looking into the air, it was unclear. "Maybe the other side is about to launch a counterattack.

Got it?" A soldier next to him raised his head suspiciously, then picked up the

The telescope looked into the distance. At this time, the comrades in front were climbing over the trenches to attack. The opponent did not seem to be resisting strongly. There was no sign of counterattack. The defense line that had not yet been conquered seemed a bit quiet, with only machine guns and machine guns spitting out flames from time to time.

Falling shells reminded them that the war was not over yet.

At this time, the bomber units that had entered the battlefield began to disband. The aircraft fleet stretching for several kilometers was further dispersed and began to perform missions in squadrons or even squads. This time the Chinese Air Force will adopt low-altitude horizontal bombing tactics. "Theoretically bombing

The height cannot exceed 500 meters! There is no lower limit! How can I vote accurately?" Duan Tianming ordered before setting off.

Said. Like a piece of slowly melting ice, the huge fleet of aircraft turned into small formations before entering the battlefield and further lowered their altitude. At this time, the pilots could already see their own logistics base and Tian Yong who was gathering behind to prepare for counterattack.

The tanks and armored vehicles of the division. According to the intelligence, the battle between the two sides is less than 20km ahead. In other words, there is only 4 minutes left!

"Let's begin! Wherever we go, not a blade of grass grows!" Duan Tianming's words rang out on the channel. This also heralded the beginning of strategic bombing and the beginning of China's counterattack! The first squadron entered the battlefield in a dispersed four-machine formation. Huge

body in the sun

Shining with silver light under the light. (In order to reduce the weight, the paint on the Chinese aircraft fleet was even scratched! Historically, the American emperor also scratched off the paint on the P47.) And the Austro-Hungarian troops on the ground finally saw these hundreds of people through the gunpowder smoke.

The god of death flying through the sky!

The roar of hundreds of high-power engines gets louder and louder as the distance gets closer. If the Austrians in front only heard the sound of the tide, then the sound now can be described as a tsunami! The entire attacking force has thousands of engines

The whistling sound of the powerful engine gradually became clearer, and even completely covered it up.

The sound of gunfire and shouts on the battlefield. The white lines left by the condensed exhaust gas from the rear of the engine are also clear. (Generally speaking, this situation only occurs at high altitudes. But if you are writing a novel, please bear with me.

Let’s take a look.) The spectacular scene of hundreds of white lines intersecting in the air shocked both parties involved in the war.

Accompanied by a thunderous sound, the bombers that entered the battlefield first suddenly erupted into brilliant rings of fire. More than a dozen machine guns on each plane began to fire bullets like a rainstorm at the Austro-Hungarian troops on the ground. As per normal

A standard Huaxia Fortress bomber has 14 machine guns, distributed in a total of 6 turrets on the nose, top of the plane, belly, tail and both sides. Among them, there are 4 m2 machine guns in the nose. A total of 14 large-caliber machine guns

The firepower is comparable

The average army has more large-caliber machine guns than three companies! Hundreds of machine guns fire at the same time and shoot out bullets. As the aircraft flies, it forms a rolling barrage that surges forward. This barrage is like a crusher, crushing all enemies along the way.

Everything is broken into pieces! Even if you jump into the trench, you will inevitably die. These powerful and penetrating bullets can completely use the breastworks made of soil. And because of the high angle of impact, most of the bullets can be fired directly from above.

Break into the trenches!

The squadron that launched the attack first used machine gun fire like a sledge to pass through the gap just opened by the Austro-Hungarian Empire with bullets. The entire squad and row of officers and soldiers were torn into pieces by this sudden blow. The breach was less than 1 kilometer wide in an instant.

was blocked by ferocious firepower, and this was just the beginning. After the infantry was swept away, the real drama had just begun. 16 bombardments

The bombers flew towards the rear without any hindrance. Their targets were various armored vehicles, artillery and trucks! A distance of several kilometers only took tens of seconds for bombers with a cruising speed of more than 300km. When the machine gun

Before the strafing was over, the door of the huge magazine had already been opened, revealing rows of bombs hanging on the bombing stage inside!

The Austrians, who had never thought that strategic bombers could be used in this way, were frightened by the murderous bombers on the opposite side. They were engulfed by a series of bombs before they could even evacuate. Because they were considering bombing exposed targets, they did not need to be too powerful.

Big bombs. The 16 bombers are all loaded with 100kg small high-explosive bombs, so this fleet can drop nearly 500 bombs at a time!

If the machine gun fire just now was like a violent storm, then this attack is like a tsunami. One bomb after another detached from the pylon and then swayed to the ground. The explosion of dozens of kilograms of explosives exploded a bomb on the ground.

A huge crater, and the shock wave generated by the subsequent explosion carried dust and debris to form huge white radial shapes.

Air masses. These air masses overlap and influence each other. The whole ground is like boiling water. Violent explosions come from time to time, and the bombs cover the entire target area like a carpet. Afterwards, the bomber force specifically calls this kind of bombing a carpet bombing. It's like

Like a seeder, it throws bombs at approximate intervals, covering the entire area and destroying everything!

In just ten seconds, amid the rising smoke columns and the sky-high firelight, a large number of artillery pieces and trucks were torn to pieces by the violent attacks. Two other tanks that were unable to dodge were also directly hit.

A bomb hit the rear engine of the Iranian tank like a hammer. Perhaps the impact was a bit violent and the fuse was damaged.

But the bomb with huge kinetic energy still smashed the tank into pieces like a hammer. The other tank was even worse. The violent explosion directly blew the turret dozens of meters into the air. The thick armor and sturdy vehicle

The body was twisted into a ball as if being torn apart by a pair of big hands. The rear part of the car that was directly hit by a bullet only had pieces of blackened fragments left.

As the follow-up attack force unfolded, the intensive and precise bombing of the strategic bomber force blew the entire offensive force into pieces without the Russians taking action at all. Although the tank relied on its thick armor to escape the disaster, as long as it was not a direct hit, it would not be a big deal.

, but the remaining lightly armored vehicles, artillery and trucks are all lost here. Even high-speed flying shrapnel may penetrate the defense of the infantry fighting vehicle. After rounds of bombings, the battlefield is devastated and burning everywhere.
