Chapter 667: Failed Battle for Pontoon Bridge

"Da da da!" A fire net was directly covered in the night. It was not anti-aircraft guns, but anti-aircraft machine guns. For aircraft such as 2, large-caliber anti-aircraft guns are not very effective, but rather are not as useful as anti-aircraft machine guns. With two searchlight columns that were fired from a distance, they were obviously ready.

From the bridge head to the bridge deck, four-door, four-door, and four-connected meter-km-fire launchers fired together, and the bullets poured out. Even the two aircraft with a maximum speed of 150 kilometers per hour were unable to avoid it.

"Damn it, I was shot!" Yazov screamed in pain, covering his abdomen with one hand, and the bomb held by the other hand fell directly into the river, shattering a water column higher than the wings.

Immediately afterwards, another column of water roared, and a wing of an aircraft next to it ignited, and continued to crash towards the pontoon bridge while burning.

Ula's shouting came from the radio station, but then it returned to silence with a huge explosion. With the sound of two more violent quadruple 20mm anti-aircraft guns coming from the direction of the bridge, the crossing tracer bombs instantly wrapped around the biplane that rushed forward. A large fireball exploded directly in the air, and the splashing debris and fire balls covered the nearly 100-meter river channel and extended to the front of the pontoon bridge.

"Split it apart!" The voice of the squadron leader came from Nicholas's ears. Without hesitation, he directly avoided the bridgehead and the fire chains swept from the bridge, and flew towards the dark wilderness by the river.

"The Chinese actually arranged anti-aircraft machine guns on the bridge, which is very difficult now." Nikola secretly complained. 2 The load is limited, and in order to carry three bombs, other weapons on the plane were also removed. Even if there are weapons, they cannot fight against so many anti-aircraft machine guns.

He listened to Yazov's voice behind him gradually disappearing, and his hesitation became even more intense.

"Let's go and see the other pontoon bridge in front. It's impossible that they will defend so closely!" While hesitating, another 2 plane was shot down, but the other planes behind him still rushed forward. After two explosions on the river, the other planes quickly circled and headed further forward. Obviously, they were also thinking that they planned to attack the pontoon bridge in front.

Unfortunately, Nicholas didn't know that the circles of electric power were facing outward on the bridge where they were ambushed. The pontoon bridge in front of them had received a warning signal from enemy planes, and more anti-aircraft artillery positions were waiting. And he might have known again. In front of him, a beam of light from a searchlight suddenly lit up in the dark wilderness on the ground, which happened to shine on his plane.

The sudden strong light made him unable to help but close his eyes instantly. With the light column, the four-unit anti-aircraft machine guns arranged by five long snakes opened fire at the locked target at the same time. In an instant, Nichola felt his spine being blown off, and a large amount of cold air rushed directly into the lung leaves that were surging in the air. Before the plane that became a hornet's nest fell, the blood splashed out had already dyed his last memory red.

"Brothers, it's not bad! We killed two planes!" The young lieutenant Huang Linjianan gestured and deliberately slapped his voice to his teammates beside him. As a 19-year-old top student who had just come out of the military academy for three months, although he was directly appointed as the rank of lieutenant, he did not have a good record, but it was difficult to convince everyone.

However, he served as the temporary commander of the anti-aircraft artillery squadron to support the pontoon bridge. Although he had not yet arrived at the pontoon bridge, he decisively commanded the multi-functional chariot anti-aircraft artillery squadron to stop advancing and launch an attacking posture. It was his proper command that he killed two aircraft in one breath and achieved a commendable record.

"It's a pity that these are not 20mm anti-aircraft artillery vehicles, otherwise the record would be one or two more!" He was happy and looked at the shadows of several planes that had gone far away, and took a look at the second-level multi-functional tank under his seat and said with some regret.

Since it is a multi-functional combat vehicle, it has modular functions from the beginning, not only for armored personnel carriers. Huang Linjianan and his chariot equipped with a four-meter anti-aircraft machine gun is one of the modifications, and there is also a modification equipped with a four-unit 20mm anti-aircraft gun, which is exactly what Huang Linjianan envies.

As for the self-propelled artillery type equipped with large caliber artillery, it is also possible. However, Meng Xiang compared the price ratio and consciously used World War II weapons to build it more. Multi-functional combat vehicles mainly undertake the responsibilities of armored personnel carriers, and the modification is only a battlefield ambulance, electronic communication command vehicles, etc. There are many World War II self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and multi-functional anti-aircraft gun vehicles are relatively only a few.

There is only one brigade of experimental anti-aircraft artillery chariots in the Fifth Legion, which is deployed as a strategic maneuver with the high speed of multi-functional chariots. This rescue of the floating bridge troops is just the sharp edge.

There are defensive troops stationed on all pontoon bridges. Although there is no anti-aircraft gun position, there is no shortage of anti-aircraft machine guns among the vanguard troops with luxurious weapons. The US m2 anti-aircraft machine gun can be used in jeeps or even barrel cars. There are at least many anti-aircraft machine gun guards in key areas such as pontoon bridges. At the beginning, they may have been sneak attacked by the Soviets, but the speed of convenient communication transmission is much faster than that of the aircraft. The guardians of the pontoon bridge that have prepared air defenses have no more opportunities to give the two aircraft.

...

"In this operation, we lost 19 2 aircraft! The mission failed!" The major of the Bakirov Air Force lowered his head and said regretfully.

"No, we did not fail! Three night sneak attacks, except for one accidental crashing over the air defense position, the other two operations avoided the Chinese's air alert and also blew up two floating bridges. It was only after the attack began that the Chinese people were alerted. This shows that our method was right!" The Colonel Krasov smiled and shook his head.

"You know, before, we had no choice but to face the radar surveillance of the Chinese people. The entire sky was shrouded in the shadow of the Chinese plane wings. Now we can also bomb their positions. Although the 2 plane was slower, our 126 factory in Gongqingcheng can use the rich wood resources in the Far East to create thousands of wooden planes. If improved, our name will become a nightmare for the Chinese people!"

"But our pilots are getting fewer and fewer now." Although Bakirov was also moved, he couldn't help but interrupt Krasov's splashing more and more saliva.

"Pilot? Such a simple plane is like a toy. The smart and great Soviet people will quickly master it. Even those women can master such simple operations. All that is left is the question of how many pilots we need!" Krasov said disapprovingly.

...

The Soviet Union did not send planes to bomb, but the Soviet Union's cavalry had already attacked several pontoon bridges.

Although the weapons of the foreign cavalry were not advanced, they were far more familiar with the geographical environment than the vanguard army. With the help of the night, they even destroyed the two floating bridges in a sudden unpredictable manner.

The Soviets also sent two simple warships of more than 30 tons that were pieced together, and went up the river and used the 76mm artillery built on it to destroy a floating bridge. In addition to the two destroyed by air strikes, the Soviets had already achieved five battle results. For a while, the Fifth Corps, which was mobilizing troops to prepare to cross the river, had to detour in some places.

The Soviet army took advantage of the situation to launch a general attack from the north bank of the Kruren River. The offensive was sensational and directly attacked the vanguard's army on multiple fronts. The flexible and maneuverable cavalry even crossed the weak defense areas of the vanguard's army after attacking dozens of kilometers in the dark night.

At this time, the Fifth Legion defended the front line of Hebei to Bayanwula at the north bank of the Kruren River, with only 40,000 people defending the front line of the position, while the Soviet Union directly dispatched 60,000 troops, which was almost the same as the Fifth Legion's troops on the north bank. After all, the South Bank needed to be prepared for possible attacks from the Soviet Union and both sides.

The grassland is vast. Apart from the individual geographical environment, there is no natural danger in the defense with points and lines. The army attacks from all directions. The power of artillery and machine guns has been greatly reduced in the dark night. The Soviet Union, which relies on its number of people and geographical advantages, actually competed with the vanguard army, and gradually approached the upper reaches of the Kruren River through weak defense areas.

Fortunately, the engineers of the Pioneer Army directly pulled up two preparatory pontoon bridges from under the river. With a variety of professional engineering machinery, they built several new pontoon bridges at a construction speed far beyond the Soviets' imagination.

Reinforcements on the south bank continued to cross the river and joined the battle. When the roar of the tank engine cut through the dawn in the horizon, the balance of victory had begun to gradually tilt towards the vanguard army.

With the arrival of dawn, the huge war machine of the Pioneer Army began a full-power critical strike, whether it was along the Kruren River on the eastern front of the outside world or the northern border of the Su-Méng, where nearly one million troops gathered.

The king of the sky began to chase the dawn, and the roar of thousands of cannons returned to the north again. The tank tracks with the fragrance of the early summer grassland began to crush the mud on the frozen soil layer, and the fierce counterattack of China began.

The Pioneer Army has all the advantages in weapons, logistics, communications and intelligence, and the rigorous cloning staff did not have the habit of being brainless or kind. The Soviets who shouted the slogans did not create too many miracles. Although the gap between the two sides was temporarily narrowed by the darkness, it did not hinder the overall situation. The result of the war was determined from the beginning. In the calculation of the Pioneer Army's General Staff, it was just the size of the victory and the result of the battle.ro!.
