During the fierce artillery battle, the two sides were injured by each other. △↗, but overall, the artillery of the Imperial Army still had the advantage. In particular, the Imperial Army's 155mm heavy howitzers and heavy cannons fully utilized their range advantages and gave heavy blows to the Russian Army's artillery. It can be said that most of the destroyed Russian artillery were the result of these two heavy artillery.

Of course, during the fierce battle, the imperial artillery also paid a certain amount of losses. However, this loss was much smaller than that of the Russian artillery, within an acceptable range. Originally, the number of artillery soldiers in the Imperial Army was slightly inferior to that of the Russian artillery. General Zhang Wei, the commander of the 1st Army of the Imperial Army, was already very satisfied.

"Send telegrams to the air force and let them prepare for action! Destroy the Russian artillery as much as possible." General Zhang Wei ordered. Russia gathered more than 2,000 cannons this time, which put great pressure on Volgograd's defense line. If these Russian cannons could be destroyed, the subsequent battle would be much easier. After all, if there were not enough artillery to deal with the fortifications of the Imperial Army, the Russian army would have to fill it with human lives. Faced with the Imperial Army equipped with a large number of automatic weapons, this would undoubtedly cost the Russians an extremely heavy price.

"Yes, Commander!" A communication officer immediately went to pass the order.

At the field airport thirty kilometers away from Volgograd, there was already a lot of busy here. Fighters and dive bombers were preparing for takeoff. Ground crews were refueling and hanging weapons and ammunition for these aircraft. Because the combat targets this time were mainly Russian artillery, even the Haidongqing fighter was suspended two 25 kilogram bombs under the two wings. The Falcon Dive bombers carried four 200 kilogram aviation bombs. If they were to deal with strong targets such as fortresses, they could only carry one 800 kilogram aviation armor-piercing bomb. However, this time they were to deal with Russian artillery. Even carrying 200 kilogram aviation bombs was enough to solve the target.

After the order from General Zhang Wei was issued, the fighters of the two brigades of the Imperial Air Force's 1st Air Wing began to take off. There were two runways in this field airport. Two planes also took off at the same time. The propellers rotated quickly under the engine, allowing the fighters to obtain huge power. Two Haidongqing 2 fighters were scattering on the runway, and the speed was getting faster and faster. Soon they flew into the sky in a light posture, began to hover over the airport, waiting for other fighters to take off and form.

In more than ten minutes, the two brigades of the 1st Air Wing each took off a squadron. The 24 Haidongqing 2 fighters were divided into two formations and flew towards Volgograd. At the same time, the Falcon Diving Bombers of the 2nd Air Wing also began to take off. Compared with the light-fitting Haidongqing 2 fighter, the Falcon Diving Bombers were a little stronger. In addition, the bombs they carried were very heavy. This made the takeoff distance of the Falcon Diving Bomber farther than the Haidongqing 2 fighter.

The Falcon Diving Bomber also took off only one squadron. After completing the formation, the 12 dive bombers began to fly to the direction of Volgograd. Because no German aircraft were found in this airspace, the Haidongqing 2 fighter did not escort the Falcon Diving Bomber. Although the Germans were also trying their best to develop aviation weapons. However, there is no way to know what their air force performance is.

The first batch of fighters consisted of two squadrons of Haidongqing 2 fighters and one squadron of Falcon dive bombers. A total of 24 squadrons of Haidongqing 2 fighters and 12 Falcon dive bombers. Then, the second batch of aircraft also began to take off, including two squadrons of Haidongqing 2 fighters and one squadron of Falcon dive bombers. Finally, the third batch of aircraft were the same. The number of fighters was exactly the same.

However, when the second batch of aircraft were still taking off and marshalling, the first batch of aircraft had already flown over the Russians and began to launch an attack. For fighter jets with a speed of more than 200 kilometers, the distance of 30 kilometers only takes less than ten minutes.

"Commander, the brothers of the Air Force are here." A staff officer said to General Zhang Wei excitedly in the front line command. This is the first time the Imperial Air Force has carried out a large-scale operation!

"Oh? It's coming so fast. Just let the Russians taste the power of our Air Force bombs." General Zhang Wei picked up the telescope and watched the fighter planes fly overhead. The bombs hanging under these fighter planes will undoubtedly become a nightmare for the Russians.

The arrival of these planes caused panic among the Russians. Although China and Germany have already made planes on a large scale, other countries still lack such weapons. As for backward Russia, there are not even many people who have seen the planes. So when the planes fly, many Russians shouted God, thinking that the devil was coming.

"God! What is that? Is it a bird? Or a devil?" A soldier screamed in horror, and kept drawing crosses on his chest, hoping that God could bless him.

"Idiot, that's an airplane. I've seen it in Berlin. But it's just a flying machine. These airplanes must be Chinese. What are they doing?" a low-level officer said with a frown. Because aircraft are still new, even the Germans are still studying how to use aircraft to fight, let alone Russians. When Chinese planes fly over their heads, these Russians are just screaming in horror, or being stunned, not knowing what to do next. As for avoiding the attack of the plane, they have never thought about it. Even the Russian artillery soldiers forgot to open fire for a while. However, they will know that these aircraft will bring death and fear.

"Dadada!" The two squadrons of Haidongqing 2 fighter jets dispersed and began to hover down. The aviation machine guns at the nose began to fire and poured bullets into the Russian artillery positions. From the sky, they could easily discover the position of the Russian artillery positions and then launch an attack.

"Swish swish swish!" The dense sound of bullets pierced the air, and the Russian artillery soldiers were shot before they could react. The 12.7mm aero machine gun used by the Air Force was very powerful and could easily break the human body into two pieces. So the Russian soldiers who were hit were very miserable, almost all of whom were alive.

"Oh God! The Chinese planes attacked us, run away!" The Russian army shouted loudly, looking for places to hide. It was not until this moment that they knew the power of these planes.

Two 25 kilogram bombs fell from the wings of a Haidongqing 2 fighter. Two small black dots fell, and then caused a violent explosion on the Russian artillery position. Although the 25 kilogram aviation bomb was only a small bomb, the power of this bomb was enough for the army. You should know that even the 105 mm howitzer shell was only 12.5 kilograms, which was only half the weight of this aviation bomb.

Fighters one after another began to drop bombs, blowing up Russian artillery positions. Some fighters were lucky, and the battles dropped caused the death of artillery shells on artillery positions, causing greater casualties to the Russian army.

After the bomb drop, the fighter began to strafuse with the air gun at the nose to shoot the Russian artillery. The attacks of 24 Haidongqing 2 fighters caused great damage to the Russian artillery.

This is just the beginning. When the Haidongqing 2 fighter jet ravaged the Russian artillery positions, the 12 Falcon Diving Bombers finally arrived late. The power of the 200 kilogram heavy bombs carried by these Falcon Diving Bombers is much more powerful than the 25 kilogram small bombs.

"Hehe!"

When the Falcon dive bomber was diving and dropping bombs, the wings stirred the airflow, and the sounding device on the wings made a sharp and harsh sound. This made the Russian officers and soldiers below think that this was the devil's scream. Many people covered their ears and looked at the bombers diving down in horror.

One after another, 200 kilograms of heavy bombs were dropped and accurately landed on the Russian artillery positions. By diving and dropping bombs, the hit rate of bombs can be increased.

The power of a 200-kilogram heavy bomb is huge. Often one bomb can overturn the entire Russian artillery position. What's more, in order to ensure the strength of the bombing, these falcon dive bombers often drop two bombs at once when diving and dropping bombs. This directly leads to a huge crater on the Russian artillery position after the bomb explodes. The heavy artillery was pushed and tilted, and the barrels were twisted. As for those artillery, they had long since disappeared.

The first-order falcon dive bomber dive bomber dives with sharp roars, bringing the Russian army a call of death. Under this terrifying attack method, the Russian artillery positions were destroyed one after another. And the Russian army could not resist this attack by the Chinese Air Force at all.

The first batch of 24 fighter jets and 12 dive bombers dropped all the bombs and even the air machine gun bullets were exhausted before leaving. What was left was the devastated artillery position of the Russian army.

After the first batch of fighter jets left, the second batch of fighter jets flew over. So everything happened again, and the Russian artillery positions that escaped by luck were attacked again.

Finally, the third batch of aircraft launched another attack on the Russian artillery positions. (To be continued...)
