"Da da da!"
The German military fighter jets in the sky opened fire one after another, strafing the Russian troops on the ground with dense aviation machine gun bullets.
For a while, screams could not be heard. Countless Russian soldiers fell to the ground under the fire of German military's aviation machine guns, suffering heavy casualties.
"God! Run away! German aircraft will kill us all."
Countless Russian soldiers screamed and fled from the road, fleeing to the crop fields or woods on both sides of the road, trying to escape the pursuit from the sky.
A Mark II fighter plane passed over the heads of the Russian army. The two small bombs mounted under the wings were immediately dropped and fell into the Russian formation.
"Boom! Boom!"
The bomb exploded, killing more than a dozen Russian soldiers on the spot, and injuring countless others.
Facing the massacre of German aircraft, the Russian troops on the ground were simply unable to fight back. Apart from running away, they had no way to deal with it.
Countless Russian soldiers fell under the guns of German aircraft.
Due to the performance of the aircraft, it did not carry many bullets and bombs. Therefore, in less than ten minutes, the German 8th Air Corps 81st Fighter Group fighter jets had to return because they had used up all their bullets.
However, the 36 Mark II fighter planes of 81st Fighter Group caused at least thousands of casualties to the Russian army. This kind of strike capability is undoubtedly very terrifying. Moreover, the panic they caused to the Russian army was even more serious. Many Russian soldiers had already wet their pants, let alone continued to fight.
This is just the beginning. Once the three Fighter Group and three Bomber brigades of 8th Air Corps take turns launching air strikes against the Russian army, you can naturally imagine what kind of effect it will have.
After German aircraft left, the Russian army began to gather its troops. It was not an easy task to find the panicked Russian soldiers from the woods and crop fields and then reorganize them to set off. Especially when these Russian soldiers have been frightened out of fear, it will undoubtedly take a lot of time.
When the Russian army re-completed the entire team and continued to march along the road. In the northern sky, German aircraft appeared again.
This time, the Russian soldiers seemed to have become frightened. They did not need the officer's order and immediately dispersed, desperately looking for a place to hide. The miserable death scenes of those comrades who had been strafed and killed by German military fighter jets almost frightened them to death.
The aircraft arriving on the battlefield this time were no longer Mark II fighter plane, but 36 H1 bomber of 82nd Bomber Group. These Bomber are not only much larger than fighter jets, but also carry more powerful weapons. Each H1 bomber carries a full 20 Aerial Bomb weighing 25 kilograms.
"Lower the altitude and drop the bomb at a height of three hundred meters!" Commander ordered.
Immediately, the thirty-six H1 fighter jets began to lower their altitude. When they were only 300 meters above the ground, those huge aircraft could be clearly seen on the ground. Many Russian soldiers were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
"God! The Germany people even have such a huge aircraft. How can we defeat the Germany people?"
This has undoubtedly become the common sentiment of many Russian soldiers.
When German military's Bomber flew over the heads of the Russian army, the magazine had been opened, and the bombs fell to the ground one after another like dumplings.
"What are those? Is the plane laying eggs?" a Russian soldier asked stupidly.
"Idiot! German aircraft dropped a bomb, get down!" A Russian officer cursed and threw himself to the ground first.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
As the bombs dropped by German military's Bomber fell, dense explosions occurred on the ground. In the continuous explosions, many Russian soldiers were torn into pieces.
"God!" The Russian soldiers who saw this scene were all stunned and stunned. They became the first people in this time and space to experience intensive bombing, and they were all frightened by the huge power.
Of course, in fact, the 36 H1 bombers of German military did not cause too much loss to the Russian army. Only a few thousand Russian soldiers died in the bombing. For Russian 9th Army Corps, which has hundreds of thousands of troops, such a small loss is nothing at all. What really makes the Russian army unbearable is the blow to the morale of the troops and the time that has been lost.
Throughout the afternoon of September 14, German 8th Air Corps's Bomber brigades and Fighter Group took turns to attack the Russian army. More than five thousand people died under 8th Air Corps's air strikes. What's more serious is that they also caused many casualties to the Russian army. As long as the Russian generals do not abandon the wounded, they will have to spend more people to evacuate the wounded. In this case, the Russian army's retreat speed can be further delayed.
Facing the pursuit of German 8th Army Corps's main force, Russian 9th Army Corps's Commander General Letsky originally wanted to evacuate quickly. In this case, although Russian 9th Army Corps will lose a considerable part of its troops, it will at least retain its main force and will not lose its combat effectiveness. However, German 8th Army Corps will never be willing to give up this opportunity to eliminate the main force of the Russian army. Therefore, they will prevent the Russian troops from withdrawing at all costs. Using Air Corps to launch an air strike against Russian 9th Army Corps and delaying their withdrawal speed is an important means.
That afternoon, under German 8th Air Corps's aerial attack, Russian 9th Army Corps's retreat speed was severely delayed. Throughout the afternoon, they only marched more than ten kilometers.
Commander of the Russian 9th Army Corps General Letsky, after learning about this situation, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"General, the Germany people are constantly sending out planes to attack us. The losses of the troops are very high. What's more serious is that the marching speed of the troops has been seriously delayed. At this rate, it won't take a few days for the main force of the Germany people to catch up." A lieutenant general said.
General Letsky nodded. "Indeed, we had no idea that the Germany people had such a powerful aircraft, let alone that they would use aircraft to slow down our march. Is there anything you can do about this?"
All the generals of the Russian army looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke. They really don't know how to solve the current dilemma they are facing.
