"Everyone, this time our mission is to strike at the Russian 9th Army that escaped from Siedlce. Although, this is only a ground strike mission. However, I hope that every pilot can pay attention. This is our 8th Army After the establishment of the Air Force, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave us the first combat order, and I hope we can successfully complete this mission." Brigadier General Corey personally gave a combat briefing to the pilots.
All the pilots have serious faces. However, their excitement and excitement could still be seen from his face. Everyone has been looking forward to this combat operation for a long time.
"The Russians were defeated by us in the Kingdom of Poland. The 2nd Guards Army has been eaten by us. However, the 9th Army of the Russian Army wants to escape. Can we take this Russian army It’s up to you to eat it too. Your Highness the Crown Prince has placed high hopes on us. Therefore, I hope that you can use your best efforts to repay the support of Your Highness the Crown Prince.” Brigadier General Corey said.
"Yes, General." All pilots replied.
"Very well, everyone go down and prepare. Then execute the order immediately!" Brigadier General Corey nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes, General." The pilots dispersed.
In the hangar, the ground crew is filling the aircraft with aviation fuel, adding bombs and aviation machine gun bullets, and preparing for take-off. Some planes that had been prepared were pushed onto the runway, and they could take off after the order to take off was issued.
Soon, Brigadier General Corey gave the order to take off.
The first to take off was the 81st Fighter Group. The entire brigade, 36 F2 fighters except 4 spare planes, all took off. Under the wings of these F2 fighter jets, aerial bombs weighing up to 25 kilograms are hung to perform ground strike missions. Of course, the biggest threat of these fighter jets to the troops on the ground is not bombs, but the 12.7mm aviation machine gun equipped on the nose. Compared with the two bombs under the wing, the aviation machine gun has hundreds of rounds of ammunition. This is enough to make these fighters wreak havoc on the battlefield.
The power of the 12.7mm aviation machine gun is already great. Once it hits the human body, I am afraid that the fragile human body will be broken into two pieces on the spot. It is conceivable that once these fighter jets launch an attack on the escaped Russian Ninth Army, what will happen.
After the 81st Fighter Group took off, the 82nd Bomber Group took off immediately. 36 H1` bombers, like rocs spreading their wings, rushed into the sky driven by the strong power of the engines, and flew towards the southern sky.
The remaining 83rd Fighter Battalion, 84th Bomber Battalion, 85th Fighter Battalion and 86th Bomber Battalion will take off one after another within the next two hours to ensure the continuity of the attack on the Russian Ninth Army.
At this moment, the 9th Army of the Russian Army is unaware that the threat has come. They are retreating from Siedlce.
"General, all the divisions of the entire group army have retreated now. However, the Germans did not continue to stick to Siedlce, but chased them out directly. Shall we launch an attack on them and eat up this German army. Defense When attacking, they can rely on strong firepower to resist us. But when attacking, they may not be sure." A lieutenant general suggested.
Admiral Letzky shook his head: "The Germans are not easy to mess with, even with an army of only tens of thousands of people. If we turn around and attack them, we may not be able to attack them in a very short time. Defeat and eliminate them. Don't forget, the main force of the German army must also start chasing us. If the battle cannot be resolved quickly, once the main force of the Germans chases us, we will not even think about retreating. At that time, the second guard The Army Group is our role model."
"Yes, the general is right. Since you want to retreat, you must retreat quickly, and you can't change your mind casually. We have to guard against the lessons learned by the Second Guards Army!" Another lieutenant general also said. .
"Leave two infantry divisions to stop the pursuing German army. The other departments should retreat at a faster speed. As long as we can withdraw from the Kingdom of Poland and join the Southwest Front Army before the main force of the Germans catch up, we will be safe." Letz Admiral Ski ordered.
In his opinion, there were only tens of thousands of German troops pursuing them. There are also more than 30,000 people in the two Russian infantry divisions. Of course, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is not an opponent of the Germans. However, if you want to defend, you should be able to withstand the German attack. No matter how bad it is, they can persist for two or three days to buy enough time for their retreat.
"Yes, general." The generals answered one after another.
The 9th Army of the Russian Army fled in embarrassment this time. However, they no longer care about that much. As long as the main force can evacuate safely, this is a victory for them.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, hundreds of thousands of Russian troops retreated south along several roads. The long queue spread far and far along the road, like a long snake that was constantly wriggling forward.
In the northern sky, small black dots appeared one after another. At the same time, there is also a "buzzing" sound, just like bees flying.
Some Russian soldiers could not help but look up to the sky to see what was going on.
"What is that?" A Russian soldier exclaimed.
Other Russian soldiers also made noise.
A Russian officer looked at the northern sky with a telescope. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically.
"Damn! The German plane. The German plane is coming." The Russian officer shouted in horror.
But those Russian soldiers looked at a loss. Most of them were just farmers before joining the army. I don't know a single big character, and I don't have much culture. Very few people have ever seen an airplane. Naturally, I don't know how terrifying these planes are. There were even quite a few Russian troops pointing at the planes in the sky, thinking it was a miracle. There are countless people who pray to God devoutly.
"The Russians have been found, launch an attack!" The captain of the 81st Fighter Battalion gave the order to attack.
36 F2 fighters began to lower their altitude and prepare for battle.
"Da da da!"
The fighter piloted by the captain launched the attack first. Orange flames shone on the muzzle of the aviation machine gun, and dense bullets shot towards the Russian army on the ground.
"Puff! Puff!"
"Ah! Ah!"
The sound of bullets hitting the human body, and the screams followed one after another, and a long line of Russian soldiers fell to the ground amidst the screams.
