spn Chapter 245 The collision of tanks (Part 1)

Wu Zhiwei is a special pilot at Cullen Air Force Base. In daily training and assessment, he has always been ranked in the top ten among hundreds of pilots in the entire base.

After joining the army for five years, he was one of the first batch of pilots after the founding of the People's Republic of China. He was also the squadron leader of the base's 2nd Fighter Squadron. As soon as the Sino-Soviet border war began, Cullen's air force was ordered to attack, traveling more than 100 kilometers north to the Huderi River.

Frontline, performing air support and aerial reconnaissance missions.

The sky outside the cockpit has gradually begun to clear up, and the last bits of flying snow have become thinner and thinner. Some of them turned into water as soon as they landed on the plane, which means that the snow is almost over.

20 aircraft and 16 fighter jets formed four temporary squadrons and eight combat-configured long-winger twin formations, escorting four H-3 bombers, roaring towards the battlefield over the Hudaili River.[

The J-3 fighter jet and H-3 bomber have been the backbone aircraft of the Air Force in recent years. According to the tradition of the Southwest period, fighters and bombers were carried out simultaneously. They are the main force of the Chinese Air Force. And the improvements made on their basis,

Transformation will produce all aircraft types except large aircraft and super large aircraft.

Since the J-1 fighter is based on the German BF109 and developed according to China's actual conditions and needs, after entering the third generation, the J-1 fighter has basically got rid of the characteristics of the first-generation aircraft. Semi-metallic

With a new fuselage and a more powerful engine, the maximum flight speed of the J-3 fighter jet has reached 620 kilometers, which is at least 100 kilometers higher than the speed of the bf109 that the Germans are mass-producing.

What is even more surprising is that when the Germans finalized this fighter jet in 1936, they received help from China, which allowed them to finalize the model in advance and produce more bf109b aircraft.

As for the H-3 fighter jet, it almost abandoned the design idea of ​​the prototype-generation bomber and instead adopted a design idea similar to the American B-25 bomber. This is just because China is ahead of the Americans in high-tech materials and aircraft design, with a range of

1,700 kilometers, a maximum speed of 466 kilometers, and a weight of 18 tons, thus positioning the H-3 bomber as the best medium-sized ace bomber in the early stages of World War II.

These two types of aircraft are undoubtedly China's most advanced advanced aircraft. Although they are not the most advanced models, they will be mass-produced.

"Fighter Squadrons No. 1, 2, and 3 are responsible for dive attacks. The bomber squadron pays attention to selecting high-value targets for bombing. The 4th Fighter Squadron enters Soviet airspace and conducts reconnaissance within a range of 100 kilometers."

The commander of this air mission is a lieutenant colonel aviation regiment commander from Cullen Air Force Base. He has extremely rich flying experience and has sufficient ability to deal with emergencies.

"clear"

Some distance away from the position of the Huderi River, the 4th Fighter Squadron broke away from the formation and entered Soviet airspace from another direction, while the remaining three fighter squadrons and bomber squadrons were ready for battle.

"No. 1 and No. 2 are responsible for the left wing position, No. 3 and No. 4 are responsible for the Soviet troops on the front, operations."

At the command of the lieutenant colonel, Wu Zhiwei, who was in charge of the 3rd Fighter Squadron of the action force, took the lead in leading the entire squadron of four fighter jets in a roaring dive towards the Soviet army on the opposite side.

At that moment, Wu Zhiwei had a feeling of excitement. The plane he was piloting was the first to rush into the Soviet airspace. He firmly believed that this was the first time, but it would never be the last time.

Perhaps there had been many cross-border aerial reconnaissances between China and the Soviet Union, but this was the first time that they had entered into actual combat.

"snort"

Wu Zhiwei snorted lightly and took the lead in pressing the firing button of the aircraft machine gun. He saw two fire snakes spurting out from under the belly of the diving fighter plane. At the same time, the Soviet army's position was originally huddled together.

The Soviet Red Army, which was preparing to attack again, had not yet figured out which country the plane in the snowy weather belonged to, when it was torn apart by an aircraft machine gun.

Like plowing a field, Wu Zhiwei piloted his fighter plane and swooped over the Soviet army at low altitude with an easy sweeping movement. He first strafed the Soviet army and then roared towards the group of trucks behind the Soviet army.

"Bang bang bang..."

The crackling sounds, the dense ratio, and the raging blasts of aviation machine guns turned each truck into an hourglass, with flying glass everywhere. From time to time, a truck was hit by a fuel tank, which soon caused a violent explosion.

Behind him, there were three J-3 fighters frantically attacking the Soviet Red Army, which didn't even have an anti-aircraft gun.[

"Woo"

The Chinese fighter planes screamed and rushed towards the Soviet position. Although only two squadrons of fighters rushed towards the Soviet army in front, these eight fighter planes still brought a huge psychological burden to the Soviet army.

The ultra-high decibel scream seemed to burst the eardrums of these Red Army recruits. Seeing the metallic luster of the aircraft swooping down, everyone ran subconsciously. They didn't even know where to find shelter.

On the empty side of the Hudaili River, there was really no place to hide. This was why the recruits ran so fast that they were so frightened that they even forgot to lie down on the ground.

"Comrade Belev, we were attacked by Chinese air raids"

In fact, without the report of his company commander, Belev, as the battalion commander of the Soviet Red Army, knew clearly that in this ghost place, apart from being a Chinese aircraft, could it be a German one? "Immediately report to the division headquarters and ask Chuck

The airport immediately provided us with support."

He just gave the order rationally, but Belev knew very well that when the snow had not stopped completely, there was little hope of relying on the support of Kyaktu who was close at hand.

He was not an Air Force general, but based on his military common sense, the Chinese incoming aircraft were very fast and had fierce firepower. The parking area of ​​the truck was even covered by the cannon fire of their fighter jets. You know,

None of Kyakhta's fighter jets are equipped with cannons, and the newer aircraft are still in the airport hangar hundreds of miles away, hiding from the cold winter.

Seeing the Chinese aircraft approaching quickly and swooping down with a scream, Belev, although he was disappointed with the performance of his new recruits, still shouted loudly: "Get down, get down and shoot with light machine guns for anti-aircraft..."

…”

However, his roar was completely covered by the roar of Chinese fighter planes. In the absence of any enemy planes or effective anti-aircraft fire, these fighter jets relied on their huge range to repeatedly bomb the two-kilometer area.

Frontal positions on the left and right.

Looking at a battalion that suffered heavy casualties, Belev knew that his best fate would be to be sentenced to a term of imprisonment, or even to be executed on the battlefield by the upcoming mid-level political commissars of the Red Army. But he could no longer care.

As an officer loyal to the Soviet Union, his belief in the Bolsheviks was not as high as it seemed, but he loved the entire Soviet Union. He knew very well that although the Chinese only took off a dozen planes in the snow,

But this already showed the heavy casualties of the two Red Army battalions.

He could only pray that subsequent reinforcements could break through the Chinese positions.

"May the Bolshevik spirit bless them."

After praying silently, this not very loyal Bolshevik officer rushed out of a large rock where he was hiding, and frantically pulled down the soldiers running randomly to the ground. At the same time, he roared loudly, "shoot in the air."

,"shooting"

However, just as he finished shouting, he heard the sound of the roaring plane propellers, and the harsh decibels told him that the plane was close at hand.

boom……

As if he was suddenly relieved, Comrade Belev was blown up by a 50-kilogram aerial bomb that exploded ten meters away in a violent explosion. A person was divided into two parts, one part was the body, and the other part was the body.

A leg that flies in the other direction.

"It hurts. The Chinese are much more powerful than those counterrevolutionaries..."

This was Belev's last consciousness.

Four fighter jets carrying out aerial reconnaissance missions dispersed into Soviet airspace in an echelon.

Jiang Wuming is the squadron leader of this squadron. As soon as he entered the Soviet airspace, he felt a different feeling.[

Although this was not the first time that the Chinese Air Force had scouted near the Soviet border, it was the first time that Jiang Wuming had flown a fighter jet to play the role of a reconnaissance aircraft and carried out a mission against the Soviet Union.

While maintaining airborne wire contact with the other three aircraft, he flew the J-3 fighter jet quickly over the hinterland of the Soviet Union.

Looking at the white-capped mountains and plains below, Jiang Wuming knew that this huge place used to be Chinese territory, but now, the Soviets lived on them and built Bolshevik farms one after another.

There were very few Soviet farms down there, often only one a few kilometers away. Those Soviet farmers who were working in the fields and taking care of their crops even on heavy snow days, when they raised their heads and saw him, they thought it was a Soviet plane.

"No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, have you noticed it?"

Jiang Wuming didn't notice anything in the snowy field with an extremely wide field of vision. In this snowy day, if even one company of people was marching on the snow, or seven or eight trucks were advancing at the same time, they could be seen several kilometers away.

"Report, nothing found yet."

The other three aircraft reported one after another but found nothing.

Jiang Wuming looked at the instruments on the plane and found that he had penetrated more than 30 kilometers into Soviet airspace, including the circling airspace. He had also checked at least a quarter of the range of 100 kilometers, but still found nothing.

Going forward, a little to the left, is the Soviet Chaktu.

"Maybe there will be discoveries in that direction."

Jiang Wuming pulled the plane's joystick, and the plane began to turn and fly toward the northwest.

After flying for about seven or eight minutes, Jiang Wuming had already penetrated more than 60 kilometers into the Soviet Union.

"Hey, what is that?"

Through his protective goggles, Jiang Wuming saw a long queue of vehicles at a horizontal distance of about 1 kilometer, about the size of at least a division. The stretched convoy, and even some trucks pulling cannons could be seen.

Almost at the same time, the huge Soviet convoy that was moving also spotted the incoming plane. The Soviet commander looked through his binoculars and found that it was not a Soviet aircraft model, and immediately stopped pulling the anti-aircraft gun.

Truck, prepare for anti-aircraft fire.

However, Jiang Wuming was flying a high-speed aircraft after all. The Soviet army did not arrange air defense positions in advance. It would not be possible to rely on temporary operations alone.

Bang bang bang...

When the Soviets had just placed the anti-aircraft guns and had not yet taken off the gun jackets, Jiang Wuming quickly swooped down and started to massacre the dense Soviet troops with the cannon directly under the belly of the aircraft.

Although the panicked Soviet troops were spreading out, they were still unable to escape from the only plane.

Dense explosions continued to explode along the Soviet marching route. After the cannon was fired, Jiang Wuming did not stop at all. He pressed the launch button of the aviation machine gun again, and then fired at the Soviet convoy.

The red side raged away.

If it were wartime and the Soviet army was more alert, it would be difficult for a single aircraft to achieve such results. However, when the Soviet army was marching within the country, their alertness was too low. They were marching in snowy weather and had not experienced the national experience.

The Soviet army, which fought during the war, also had very little air defense experience.

Even if the Soviet commander found out that it was not a Soviet plane and quickly issued the order, there was no way he could do it in time.

In this way, a plane finally raised its altitude and evacuated at full speed after strafing all the "drugs", causing more than two hundred Soviet casualties and destroying a dozen trucks.

The heavily armed Soviet troops were marching in the snowy weather, and their direction was still the border, so they were most likely going to support the direction of the Hudaili River.

"Report to the captain that a large-scale Soviet Red Army has been discovered and requests an attack."
