Chapter 305 Chapter [-] Trailing?Follow!Good luck
The Type [-] light bomber is the work of the National Uplink Aircraft Company. Different from private enterprises, this aircraft manufacturing enterprise located in Yanjing is the largest government-operated aircraft company.

It is equipped with two 860-horsepower radial engines, with a slightly square nose, a slender fuselage, and two small-area vertical tail fins at the rear. The maximum bomb load is 1000 kg, but it usually does not attack at full load.

In the cockpit of the leading aircraft No. [-], the navigator put down the binoculars, lowered his head and shouted loudly: "The distance is [-] meters, get ready!"

The bombardier crouched at the nose of the aircraft, he half-kneeled and moved to the side of the bombsight, and then leaned over.

The rectangular military airport was in the upper half of the scope's circular field of view. The bombardier aimed the reticle of the scope at the airport building, and then began to turn the knob to set the parameters.

The Tsarist Russian army on the ground was in a mess, and the piercing air defense sirens made people panic, as if the bow of a cello was pulling back and forth on the heart.

The Russian army in the anti-aircraft position hurriedly went to control the anti-aircraft guns, and the soldiers with the altimeter in both hands reported the number sharply; a round of 76.2mm anti-aircraft shells was taken out of the metal box, and was then twisted by a "wrench" to adjust the mechanical height setting fuse.

Tsarist Russia's current military construction is quite inefficient and chaotic, and there are considerable problems with the weapons equipped by the air defense forces——

最高一级是M7931型76.2㎜高射炮，这是英国维克斯三英寸高射炮的仿制版；次一级的是20㎜的厄利孔MS-cal.60高射炮；然后是双联、三联、四联装的马克西姆7.62㎜水冷重机枪。

In order to improve this problem, the Russians purchased a full set of technology and production licenses for the Bofors M34 40mm anti-aircraft gun with excellent performance from the Swedes three years ago. However, there were too many quality problems with the imitation products, and production had to be suspended. Please Bofors sent a technical team to guide.

The bombardiers of the bomber formation can clearly see the local anti-aircraft firepower coming towards them from the sights—those light marks are very conspicuous, the thicker ones are 20mm tracer bombs, and the smaller ones are 7.62mm tracer bombs.

"Boom! Boom!"

After the 76.2mm high-explosive bomb exploded, it left a cloud of gray-black smoke in the sky. The shock wave shook the plane up and down, left and right, and the lasing fragments punched holes in the aluminum alloy skin.

"Fuck! You fucking hold the plane... The parameters are done!"

With the parameters set, the bombsight and autopilot mate and both take over control of the aircraft.

Now, when the aircraft flies over the target that has been set, the bombsight will automatically drop the bomb under control.

In order to pursue higher accuracy, automatic control is naturally a better choice; if manual control is used, even if the reaction is slow for half a second, the plane has already flown tens of meters, and the bomb's drop point will be far away from the target.

However, if the situation is not suitable, you can also choose manual control.

Since it was attacking the airport, the bomber formation dropped 200kg aerial bombs, and the fuze was set to delay, that is, it would detonate 0.06-0.08s after touching the ground.

In this way, the aerial bomb will penetrate deeply into the ground and then explode, which can blow up a larger deep pit and increase the time for the enemy to rush to repair the airport.

Although the No. 11 and No. [-] aircraft fell behind due to the impact of anti-aircraft fire, the remaining ten bombers still flew over the target steadily.

Forty 200kg aerial bombs drew forty parabolas in the blue sky, and then fell to the ground like meteorites and exploded.

Because it was a delayed detonation, there was not much fire to see, and the bombarders could only see clouds of smoke and dust and scattered building debris.

One of the aerial bombs happened to hit the oil depot, and the huge flames erupted like a volcanic eruption. The pilots had never witnessed such a spectacular scene since they were young.

The red-yellow fireball devoured everything within dozens of meters around, billowing black smoke rose into the sky!

Someone couldn't wait to pick up the camera and clicked to record such a spectacular scene, and then recorded in the aviation log and sortie report:
"...The lead plane led the attack, formed in a vertical echelon formation, and the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower was average. The attack started at 42:[-], with an airspeed of [-]. Half of the hits were observed. It was confirmed that both runways were severely damaged, and at least one oil depot was destroyed. Destroyed, the result is excellent. Look at it, the flames are raging."

The bomber's battle results were so rich that the fighter pilots couldn't hold back their eagerness to move, and they went straight down and began to dive and straf.

Maybe it's useless, but this feeling of beating a dog in the water...it's cool!

After showing off for two rounds, seeing that the bomber formation had turned around and returned, the fighters who were still unsatisfied had no choice but to leave the battle and speed up to chase the bombers.

"This is too happy!"

"I plowed it directly for them, and now it takes at least two or three days to repair it."

"It's a pity that I didn't meet the plane, and I made a lot of money that way."

"I'm afraid they will be dumbfounded when they come back!"

"It's really funny, they..."

The formation of planes flew smoothly at a cruising altitude of 500 meters, heading due south.

However, after half a quarter of an hour, a fighter pilot in the corner of the formation suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye when he turned his head left and right and moved his neck.

He looked sideways, and his excellent eyesight, which was as sharp as an eagle, allowed him to notice something strange in the distance.

Under the blossoming white clouds, small black dots are looming. Are they...the Russian military fleet returning?

Since the new airborne radio equipment has not yet been installed on all Air Force fighters, many fleets are still equipped with old-fashioned radios from a few years ago, and their quality and performance are very poor, so the pilots generally remove it directly. Save some precious weight.

The No.11 destroyer detachment here only started to refit last month, and according to the sequence of refitting, the seventh light bombing detachment will have to wait until November.

So the pilot immediately shook the wing up and down to attract the attention of other people nearby, then quickly wrote down the findings in a notebook with a pen, and then opened the canopy.

The pilot next to him drove the plane closer and carefully checked the contents of the notebook, and then reported the situation to the rest of the fighters one after another.

"Enemy fleet, 160-degree direction, altitude [-] meters."

After being informed of the situation, the fighter leader major made a decision without hesitation—following them.

Although the remaining fuel is not abundant now, but no matter what, follow it first, if you have the opportunity, if you don’t have the opportunity, you will slip, and you will not lose money.

Under his leadership, the eight Type 180 fighters turned sideways one after another, made a [-]-degree turn in the air, and then slowly climbed to some heights.

Originally, the aircraft fleet of the Ming army was several hundred meters higher than that of the Russian army. Now it has climbed to a higher height, firstly for concealment, and secondly for the convenience of subsequent sneak attacks.

The Russian army flew under the clouds, and the Ming army flew above the clouds, and they returned in peace and harmony.

In the sky, the black smoke rising straight into the sky can be seen more than ten kilometers apart. Thinking of the bewildered and confused Russians at the moment, the Ming army pilots couldn't help laughing.

The deep pits blown out by the 200kg aerial bombs with time-delayed fuzes cannot be filled in a short period of time with only manpower. The destroyed runways are obviously useless.

The Russian military fleet circled around at low altitude. After realizing that it was impossible to land here, they could only hurry to an alternate airport farther away before the fuel was exhausted.

All the way afterwards, it can be seen that the military pilots all had smirks on their faces.

Everyone was even more excited when they thought that an extraordinary surprise would be brought to the Russians.

An hour later, the fleet finally arrived at Ust-Ilimsk Field Airfield No. [-].

The Far East is vast and sparsely populated, so it is impossible for the Russian army to station many people at this small backup airport, so this field airport looks dilapidated and deserted, with only two or three small planes parked beside the runway and in the hangar .

The aircraft formation began to lower the altitude and prepare for the approach. The maximum range of the I-16 fighter jets was only [-] kilometers. Now the fuel was almost exhausted, so they had to be allowed to land first.

Fighters landed one after another, while the bombers continued to circle and wait.

Half a quarter of an hour later, when the first bomber was aligned with the runway and began to land, the backside self-defense gunner of one of the bombers suddenly noticed a strange light.

He felt something shining above the clouds—it was actually the metal fuselage of a Ming fighter jet shining brightly in the setting sun.

Ten seconds later, when the machine gunner realized that something was wrong, everything had already become a fact.

The eight Type [-] fighters were divided into four two-plane formations, attacking in turn.

Like falcons swooping down to hunt, they pounced on the Russian aircraft group that was landing below at a speed of nearly 500㎞/h.

"Da da— da da da—"

The four 7.36 mm aviation machine guns arranged at the root of the two wings spit out tongues of flame several feet long, and after a few long bursts, flames and black smoke burst out from the left engine of an SB-2 bomber.

It tried its best to pull up, and the self-defense machine gun on the back of the machine was also firing desperately, but to no avail, the machine gunner was quickly shot to death by a string of bullets.

A bomber next to it seemed to be broken because of the cable control system, dragging a puff of white smoke and falling to the ground, and then burst into a large flame.

This kind of sneak attack, which is equivalent to a unilateral massacre, made the Russian pilots curse, but now they can only run away like wolves.

Now it really became the Sukablie in the Russian population.

The Yi-16 fighter jets that had just landed were also attacked, and were fired one after another.

Some people were running and running, while others couldn't bear the anger, and planned to take off the plane with the fuel bottomed out, but before they could pull the plane up into the air, they were hit by a series of bullets...

The small airport became a place for the Ming army to show off its power. As soon as several twin-mounted Maxim heavy machine guns of the ground unit opened fire, it immediately led to a siege.

The sparse firepower was completely unstoppable and intimidated the pilots of the Ming army. These machine gunners were beaten to death by the fighter jets that dived and strafed. The dense bullets made the air defense positions their graves.

After 13 minutes of reckless behavior, the Ming army pilots who had exhausted all their ammunition left contentedly.

Although they did not carry aerial bombs, they still ruined the Ust-Ilimsk No. [-] Field Airport with only aviation machine guns.

18架SB-2轰炸机11架毁坏、7架受损，8架伊-16战斗机7架毁坏、1架受损，飞行员6死15伤，地面部队亦伤亡二十余人。

Of course, the so-called extreme joy begets sorrow, since this vote was done so frankly, then the corresponding bad things will definitely not be absent.

Since it turned back halfway and followed the Russian fleet, the Ming fighter jets also consumed very little fuel.

One of the fighter jets had to abandon the plane and parachute midway due to fuel leakage caused by a fuel tank breakdown.

Everyone hurriedly wrote down the latitude and longitude coordinates, and then watched with anxiety as his snow-white parachute floated down and landed in the mountains of Siberia.

Although it does not violate the laws of war, today's behavior is indeed relatively immoral. God knows whether the Russians who have become angry from embarrassment will vent their anger on him.

The remaining seven fighters continued to fly, and the fleet climbed to an altitude of 6000 meters, because the air here is thinner, the resistance is less, and the fuel consumption is naturally much lower.

At 19:04 in the evening, when approaching our own airport, three fighter jets ran out of fuel, and the engines stopped immediately, and the fighter jets suddenly became gliders.

At this time, the sky will be dark, and the sunset has completely sunk into the west, leaving only a touch of red sunset glow.

If it was daytime, the pilots would probably try to make an emergency landing by gliding, but it is already night.

Crash landing in the dark wilderness?The odds are slim.

So they had to abandon the plane and skydive.

The plane belongs to the country, and the life belongs to oneself.And in all fairness, if a person's value is high enough, then his life is no longer his own alone.

Four fighter jets were destroyed, two Russian airports were destroyed, and more than [-] planes were destroyed. This is a great victory!
At the air force base in Fuyuan Prefecture, the officers and soldiers celebrated each other with their crowns. The victorious pilots were greeted by heroes in triumph. Several senior military officers were discussing how to report their victory and claim credit.

As for the complaints and inquiries of the No.40 Seventh Infantry Division of the Army, let's ignore it for now.

Although you have suffered a small grievance, from the overall situation, isn't this still a brilliant victory!

The 47th Division has no time to reason with the Air Force at the moment. Even without air support, the battle on the ground still has to be fought.

Taking advantage of the darkness, the [-]st Regiment detoured towards the due east, the [-]th Regiment directly crossed the border and infiltrated in depth, and the [-]th Regiment deployed defenses in the front, and the trend of flanking and stealing tails was rapidly taking shape.

Because the attention was not low, the latest progress of the conflict was quickly sent back to the capital.

At night, Zhou Changfeng, Xia Xiaoshi, and Lin Xi were chatting while listening to the radio, but the jingle of the phone directly broke the leisurely scene.

"Oh? Not bad... OK, I see, let's go right away."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Changfeng with a strange expression turned to look at the two people beside him.

"Did something urgent happen?" Xia Xiaoshi asked a little nervously.

"That's not true, it's basically good news." Zhou Changfeng picked up his military uniform jacket, and replied dumbfoundingly: "You guys still remember the news this morning, didn't there be a conflict in the north? Now the good news is here, it's just...more A little episode."

Hey, fellow pilot who is thousands of miles away, I can only wish you good luck now.
