In the second air strike launched by the coalition Front Air Force that day, Huang Jingbo, commander of the front air force, did not take action personally. The commander of the air formation was Colonel Li Zaolin, the wing leader of the coalition Second Fighter Bomber Brigade. This time he still dispatched a DH4 reconnaissance bomber brigade 40 fighter jets and a SE5 fighter brigade brigade 40 aircraft. The wing leader Li Zaolin himself brought a FR18 Excellent Fighter Bomber Brigade to command.wwwdyzww, first,

As of the end of 96 coalition fighters took off from three airports including Voronezh, Relisk, Belgorod and other three and completed in air formations. The FR18 Flight Squad arranged in the reconnaissance patrol in three directions over Ukraine has not found any signs of German fighter jets returning to Ukraine. The reason for dispatching FR18 outstanding people to perform reconnaissance and air patrol missions over Ukraine is that if they encounter German Fokker fighters, the DH4 reconnaissance fighter will suffer a loss. Although the SE5 has good air combat performance, its range and continuous air stagnation capabilities are short after all.

What's more, when the biplane single-seat SE5 fighter is used to perform reconnaissance missions, the efficiency of the pilot sending telegrams back while flying the aircraft is much slower than the biplane DH4 or FR18... Whether it is the DH4 or FR18, the rear seat pilots of these two biplane fighters are both machine gunners, navigators and full-time radios.

Li Zaolin does not think that the power of the DH4 reconnaissance/bomber in his wing is too small... A slow guy like Handlipeji O/400 is more likely to become a victim of the ground air defense firepower of the German-Uk coalition forces. Moreover, the formation is dispatched due to the speed difference between Handlipeji bombers and DH4, SE5 and FR18, which often slows down the advance and mobilization speed of the entire flight formation.

Especially in the forest area, the infantry positions on both sides are crisscrossed, if the air-to-ground coordination is not good, the possibility of the bomb being thrown onto its own heads is quite high. Although the DH4 reconnaissance bomber equipped by the coalition aviation is just a transitional type like the SE5 in the minds of the King of China, it is a very advanced and excellent combat aircraft than the various French, Austrian and Italian aircraft that the students in the first three periods of the school have driven.

You should know that it is only July 1918, and it is less than 20 years since the birth of the aircraft. Of course, it has been quite controversial when the aircraft was born and who invented it. The French believe that the earliest aircraft in the world was invented by the Frenchman Clemémentader, and it was successfully tested in France on October 9, 1890. Some people believe that he invented the first aircraft in history.

Americans believe that the inventor of the aircraft was the American Wilburwright and orilwright, and successfully tested in the United States on December 17, 1903. Brazilians believe that the Brazilian Albertos Dumont invented the aircraft. On October 12, 1906, the "14bis" aircraft in Santos Dumont successfully flew to a height of 60 meters. It was the first successful power flight in the world. The previous flight did not meet the real "flying" standard.

At that time, it was generally believed that the American Wright brothers invented the aircraft, while some people believed that it was invented by Clemon Adel or Alberto Santos Dumont. In 1903, the aircraft designed and manufactured by the American Wright brothers conducted a successful flight, which was the first time in the world to achieve the power and cyclical flight of aircraft that was heavier than air. During World War I, aircraft were used for combat. At that time, the speed of the aircraft had reached 180-220 kilometers per hour, with a ceiling of 6,000-7,000 meters, a range of 400-450 kilometers, and a bomb load of 1,000-2,000 kilograms.

Of course, the achievements and progress of China's aviation industry and aircraft shooting manufacturing promoted and built by King of China have made all Chinese pilots unbelievable. Wang Zhu and Batamo, two genius aircraft designers, led the Chinese Aircraft Manufacturing Company's US, UK, France, Italy and Chinese experts in the past six months to design and produce two epoch-making all-metal skinned fighter jets that can be called epoch-making all-metal skinned in just six months.

The world's first all-metal single-wing Chinese FR18 Excellent aircraft, which takes into account both reconnaissance, combat and bombing performance, has comprehensive performance surpassing the reconnaissance aircraft, fighter and light bomber of the same specifications in this era. The FR18 has faster speed and hovering fighting performance than the Fokker and Se5, and has a greater number of ammunition carrying capacity than the DH4. It is the best multi-purpose fighter today. It has been successfully mass-produced in Nanyuan, China, and has performed well on the battlefield of the Allied Powers Eastern Front, becoming the killer weapon of the coalition air force and a trusted mainstay.

As for the second fighter, the China Aircraft Manufacturing Company, designed and finalized, the China BC18 Predator Attack Bomber, has surpassed the Handlipet O/400 in all aspects of flight speed, altitude, bomb load capacity, and firepower. This is still the latest excellent medium-sized bomber in Europe...

When the corps captain Li Zaolin led his 96 large aircraft fleet to reappear over Kharkov, the air defense alarm sounded extremely shrillly on the streets and alleys and positions of the entire city. At this time, the 20-minute artillery fire of the 3rd Regiment of the Japanese 3rd Division on the Northern Line was ready for the 3rd Artillery Regiment.

The Ukrainian northern suburbs defense line and city wall were shot by the 75mm mountain artillery of the Tanaka Field Artillery Corps, and the fire was terrible. However, the Ukrainian artillery was hiding in the city without a single shot...

What made Colonel Li Zaolin, the 2nd Fighting Bomber Wing of the Alliance, frowned, until his large formation appeared over Kharkov as scheduled, the front command of the central army on the ground had not yet clearly indicated the ground targets and areas to be attacked...

What will be done in the court?

July 31, 1918 at 13:20 Kharkov North Alliance Army Front Command

"Report to the commander of the division, the leader of the coalition air force who was responsible for commanding the air strike, called us to instruct the bombing targets and ask us to instruct the bombing targets!" A staff officer of the 3rd Division of Japan rushed into the combat room of the 2-story building used as a temporary command station in the northern suburbs of Kharkov.

Dating Erro put down his telescope with a pale face, turned from the lookout window and shouted at the unlucky captain staff officer, "Baga... why are you panic? Calm down!"
