Chapter 551： Luosu Local War (4)

The Jackal self-propelled artillery modified by the Jackal III tank did solve the artillery problem of the armored division. After the turret was removed, these self-propelled artillery was equipped with a 10524 artillery, which can provide support for the armored division at any time. It can be said to have solved the problem that has plagued Hoffman for a long time, which is why he has the confidence not to bombard first.

Of course, besides the armored division's own weapons and equipment, he also has other support.

Just as the two were talking, the plane of the brigade roared past their heads. The latest type of Albatross fighter jets turned this piece of sky into Romanian territory, followed by Romanian bombers. They will take the lead in removing obstacles for troops on the ground.

The large-scale tanks and armored clusters cooperated with the howling planes, making Guderian yell in his heart. This is exactly the result I want, and I must bring this combat mode back to Germany.

The romanian army in the brigade also put pressure on Dobarev, the commander of the 35th division stationed in Khaka, Ukraine.

"Yes, Commander. We will definitely intercept the enemy in Ukraine, and will not let an enemy go. But this time the Romanians are coming fiercely and we need support."

Commander Dobarev put down the phone in his hand, and the political commissar next to him asked immediately. "What did the commander say?"

"The commander told us to stand by and wait for assistance. We will have reinforcements tomorrow. But before that we need to block the enemy's offensive."

As the two were talking, a loud shout came from outside. "Be careful, the enemy plane is coming."

The two hurriedly stepped out of the headquarters and found a large number of Romanian fighters rushing towards this side.

"Hurry up and hide, where's the anti-aircraft gun?"

While Dobarev was speaking, the anti-aircraft guns of the division's air defense company fired. However, a small number of anti-aircraft guns was not very useful. They saw more than a dozen bombers separated from the enemy planes and rushed to the air defense position. They planned to teach this little resistance that they could not help themselves.

"Let's go to the air-raid shelter first."

Dovalev pulled the political commissar and ran directly to the air-raid shelter. Now is not the time to be a hero. If there is an accident between the two, it will have a huge impact on the next combat of the 35th Division.

And the political comrades who know this will naturally not be able to do so.

When the two men ran to the air-raid shelter, they heard several explosions, and the air-defense position that had been ringing went silent.

"Oops."

Before Dobarev could say his thoughts, more Romanian bombers roared and rushed down. At this time, explosions were heard everywhere in Ukraine, and bombing everywhere. Even the headquarters was hit by several aerial bombs, and now there are basically no people in sight on the streets. The Soviet officers and soldiers in Ukraine are even more scrambling to find cover.

This kind of aerial bombardment is the most morale blow, because you have no way to counterattack your opponent, you can only watch the opponent looting on your head.

It was Colonel Ilascu, the veteran of the Romanian Army Aviation Corps, who led the bombing mission this time. He is now the first aviation commander in chief. And this bombing operation was directed by him.

I saw him calmly giving orders in the air. "The third bomber group, you go to bomb the enemy's position on the right. The second bomber group, you go to bomb the enemy's position on the left. The first bomber group will bomb the Ukrainian card. Move fast. I estimate that the enemy aircraft can take up to 20 minutes. arrive."

"Third Bomber Group, received it."

"Second Bomber Group, received it."

"First Bomber Group, received it."

I saw three flares appeared in the sky, and the pilots of the three bomber battalions each took their own planes toward their respective targets.

Seeing that the assignment of the bomber's mission was completed, Colonel Ilascu gave another order to the fighter. "The fighter wing is on standby, ready to take on possible enemy aircraft at any time."

"Fighter Wing, received."

Colonel Ilascu, who completed the command task, began to check the results of the bombing at this time.

Regardless of Colonel Ilascu’s calm call commanding the bombing mission, the ability to command air combat by speaking this time is a great pioneering work for the Romanian aviation. You know, this is Romania's first call command in actual combat. Prior to this, air operations were commanded by flare guns, lights, and hand flags. This kind of command can only transmit simple commands. If it is a little more complicated, it can only rely on the pilot's own understanding.

Although the Romanian Air Force has not yet been able to do so, each aircraft is equipped with a call radio. But isn't this a good start? I believe that in the future, the General Staff, which sees aviation capabilities, will definitely install a radio station for each aircraft.

The raid airstrike lasted for half an hour before the Romanian bombers that had dropped their bombs reluctantly left.

At this time, Soviet aircraft had just arrived around Ukraine.

"A large number of enemy fighters were spotted on the right, close to a hundred."

The news of the discovery of an enemy plane on the radio refreshed Colonel Ilascu. I finally know why the Soviet fighters arrived so late, it turned out to be to avoid the formation of refueling tactics.

"The fighter wing fought immediately, and the bombers accelerated away from the battlefield."

"Roger that."

With the discovery of enemy fighter jets, the raid bombers immediately accelerated their departure. The fighter jets hovering at high altitude also pounced on the enemy.

So under the nose of the Soviet army, the largest air battle after World War I began.

From the beginning, the Romanian Air Force gave Soviet fighter jets a disarm. Taking advantage of their altitude and speed, the Romanian air lords flying the albatross fighter jets made a dive attack on the Soviet aviation.

The Soviet aviation forces, who could not dodge, faced this kind of attack, panicking a bit. It wasn't that they had never seen this attack mode, but that the albatross fighter was too fast and suddenly appeared in front of him.

So after a short and thrilling exchange of fire, many Soviet fighters fell from the air with one or two Romanian fighters.

3 to 19

This is the result of the current firefight In addition to the excellent performance of the albatross, the large number of Soviet fighters in the late World War I were also the main reason. These veterans are the opponents of the new fighters, and the tactics used by Romania this time also made the Soviet Union's favorites unaccustomed.

The tactics of swooping and pulling up are incompatible with the dogfighting tactics they practice on weekdays. Isn't it clear that the speed of bullying them is not as fast as the Romanians, and the rise is not as high as Romania.

The Soviet aviation officer who saw this scene gritted his teeth angrily, and there was no way. As for those fighters, just go after the bombers that do evil. I'm afraid it's not that I want my subordinates to be shot down from behind like a turkey.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the leading officer of the Soviet air force could only order a retreat. If you don't go anymore, you will only consume the enemy's fuel by taking the lives of your team members.

Therefore, in the eyes of the officers and men of the 35th Division, their plane was defeated by Romanian fighters and fled.

Commander Dobarev who saw such a scene even yelled at him angrily. "What kind of stuff is this?"

11 to 49 is the final result of this air battle.
