Chapter 1088 Bloody Battle 5
"I couldn't even feel my own existence. I couldn't hear in my ears, and my limbs were a little numb. It was almost instinct controlling me. I saw those Russian soldiers wearing gray military uniforms, and then I subconsciously used machine guns to kill them. I saw flames dancing in the distance, and then operated a 2-pound rapid-fire cannon to fire a stream of shells. Our noses and ears were bleeding, and the back of our heads was wet, and there was a trace of gas mixed with the smell of diesel and fishy smell pouring into me. Nose. A kind of numbness and long-lost pleasure lingered in my heart." A tanker recalled the situation at that time.
The sky full of gunpowder smoke and flames obscured people's vision. After the wave of Russian offensive troops was driven back, the armored troops still remaining on the battlefield shrank back in time. They need to re-establish contact and cooperate with the infantry to rest and launch another attack. However, Major General Mike obviously didn't want it to end like this. When the first round of attacks just ended, the remaining armored forces and a large number of infantry launched a second wave of attacks under the cover of the air force.
"They're finally here! It's stable now!" Looking at the group of K-4 bombers flying over at a low altitude of 400 meters, the major general suddenly relaxed. It wasn't because these bombers could really unleash devastating firepower. It's because even if they throw away all their bombs and rely solely on machine guns, they can still deter Russian ground artillery units. You know, this is on the Eastern Front, and the Russians do not have the ability or capital to engage in a large-scale war of attrition with the German Air Force! "I hope that the 200 tons of projection capacity they said in three days can be fulfilled."
When groups of bombers roared and flew through the sky in neat formations, the mood of the Russians on the front line was completely shattered. Because facing these gods of death in the air, they have almost no means to resist them. Do they really think that setting up a machine gun to shoot in the air is air defense? The first group of bombers roared towards the Russian army's forward artillery position. At the moment they entered the lowest point of the dive, they threw groups of 50KG high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs at the artillery that was still firing and the piles not far away. Cannonballs everywhere.
A series of violent explosions sounded on the Russian army's position, and from time to time, a huge fireball would rise into the sky from the ground. Most of the unplaced artillery shells were detonated by the bombs. High-explosive bombs are used to kill personnel, while incendiary bombs are used to deal with artillery and ammunition. What? How do you deal with artillery? It is said that some parts of the gun mount and wheels are made of wood, so they will naturally catch fire as soon as they are fired. As for transfer? Don't be ridiculous, the enemy's bombs and machine guns were already coming before you put the artillery on the carriage, so why bother?
In the face of tons of bombs and machine gun bullets, even the remaining artillery was suppressed and did not dare to move. The gunners shivered and hid aside. The braver ones glanced at the artillery in the distance from time to time, and then looked at the aircraft still hovering in the sky, and then gave up. The timid ones simply hide in their holes like ostriches and dare not move.
And more bombers continue to fly towards the Russian positions, where more valuable targets are waiting for them. Nearly a hundred 122MM howitzers, 152MM howitzers, and those train guns are their most critical targets! In order to fight this battle, the Bavarian Air Force and the Austro-Hungarian Air Force invested 220 K-4 bombers and 110 other types of aircraft.
The planes even flew between the battlefield and the airport twice a day. The Russians were honored that when they concentrated a large number of artillery, the Allies also concentrated the largest bombing on a military-level unit!
A 100KG high-explosive bomb fell from 200 meters in the air. After throwing away the bomb, the K-4 bomber almost pulled up against the towering muzzle of the railway gun. The bomb roared and landed on the rear of the 10-inch train gun. The violent explosion directly blew the trailer behind it into pieces. After the gun body and gun frame, which weighed several tens of tons, lost their support, they fell under the action of their own gravity. It fell directly to the side, accompanied by a loud noise like an earthquake. The entire car body fell into several pieces.
The 8-inch artillery next to it was also unlucky. The ammunition truck behind the artillery was directly hit by a 50KG incendiary bomb. After a violent explosion, the artillery weighing more than ten tons was also overturned to the ground. The fleeing Russian soldiers were driven and killed by four single-engine fighter jets. In just 20 minutes, this artillery group completely lost its combat effectiveness.
And this scene is repeated over and over again. The Russian artillery units were constantly destroyed and suppressed. After losing the long-range firepower that he could rely on, he was immediately beaten back to his prototype! War is always a material fight. Of course, human power is also a kind of material. Thanks to Brusinov, the Russians once again concentrated their artillery and sent it to the altar of the God of War.
"Our troops have launched an attack on the two fast divisions of Bavaria. We have captured their main force. Whether the Germans are willing or not, we will start a decisive battle with them. Although we do not have tanks, at least our artillery is enough. More." Just before the Bavarian Air Force launched the bombing, Brusinov had just received a telegram from the front. In this telegram, although the Russian Army encountered fierce resistance, it was generally optimistic.
"Very good then. Let the troops continue to execute the planned plan. We can retreat a little slower. Take away everything we can." Brusinov said with a sigh of relief. Then he asked the headquarters to immediately issue orders to other troops to implement Plan No. 2. This plan is the plan that other logistics units will execute when they retreat when the assault force gains an advantage. They will do their best to take away all items. Of course, in this case, the movement speed will be slower.
However, what Brusinov did not expect was that one hour after he sent this telegram, his military radio station and the radio stations of his subordinate corps and divisions could no longer send a telegram! Radio communications are completely interrupted! At this time, the situation on the battlefield also took a turn for the worse. Several Bavarian bomber groups launched continuous bombings against the Russian offensive forces, and two German rapid divisions also launched a counterattack! And where the Russians couldn't see them, three Bavarian divisions mobilized from Bohemia were rushing to the front line day and night!
"We have gained insight into the Russians' radio communication frequency bands and codes. Our jamming systems are divided into two types. One is fixed, with large fixed antennas suppressing it in the designated frequency band. The other is mobile, using cars. After arriving at the front line, it will interfere with Russian division-level units. Air Force aircraft will also carry jammers and fly over the discovered Russian military headquarters to release interference waves." An engineer from Siemens told the prince.
