Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the first wave of air strikes that morning, the 2nd Fighter-Bomber Wing only dispatched a DH4 reconnaissance bomber group and an escorting SE5 fighter group. In addition, Major General Huang Jingbo, commander of the Allied Frontline Air Force, personally acted as the agent for a squadron of FR18 Excellence.  The fighter-bombers commanded bombing operations over the theater to guard against the sudden appearance of a German fighter wing.

    In 1918, space-time radar was still a thing of the past and had never been invented, and the ground in Western Ukraine and Southern Ukraine was still in the hands of the German-Ukrainian coalition. No matter how arrogant and domineering the reconnaissance planes of the attacking Allied forces were, they had to beware of reinforcements for the Ukrainian battlefield.  Will the Luftwaffe leak out from any corner The fastest update, all text typed by hand

    In fact, the FR18 Excellent Group of the 2nd Fighter-Bomber Wing of the Allied Air Force undertakes reconnaissance and escort missions in the Ukrainian battlefield airspace. In the direction of Kiev, Odessa and the southeastern Donne direction, the 2nd Fighter-Bomber Wing  Each team sent a team of 4 fr18 Excellent fighter-bombers to perform patrol and reconnaissance missions.

    After the first wave of air strikes, the coalition's DH4 bomber group and SE5 escort fighter group returned to Rylisk and Belgorod field airports one after another. Some of the Chinese FR18 fighter-bombers returned to Voronezh, and some temporarily landed at Belgorod Airport to refuel.  refuel

    The takeoff and landing of a large fleet of aircraft itself takes time, and the air formation also takes time. Many aircraft still need to be inspected and maintained after landing. At the same time, the pilots also need a certain period of rest. During three consecutive days of dispatches and fierce battles, the coalition frontline  The physical strength and energy of the air force's front-line pilots are inevitably on a downward curve, although on July 28 and July 29, the coalition air force mainly conducted contact battles and large-scale air battles with the German 1st Fighter Wing.

    On July 30 and today, when the German 1st Fighter Wing withdrew from the skies over the battlefield in Eastern Ukraine, the coalition's frontline air force mainly performed ground attack and bombing missions, but ground bombing was carried out beyond the densely forested Kharkiv.  In the east, over the Kharkov city defenses where enemy machine gun fire was dense, it was no easier than an air battle with the German 1st Fighter Wing

    The power and accuracy of horizontal bombing are of course much worse than dive strafing and bombing, but the anti-aircraft firepower network compiled by the German 20mm small-caliber anti-aircraft guns and hundreds of mg08 heavy machine guns of the Kharkov garrison is not a display  It is not a legend that a coalition fighter plane was damaged and shot down This made the Chinese pilots of the Coalition Air Force, who were arrogant and inflated after defeating the German 1st Fighter Wing, a little bit as impetuous as a cat's paw

    Obviously, the anti-air firepower and fighting spirit of the German-Ukrainian forces on the ground are quite different from the Soviet Red Army, which often collapsed in the Battle of Ufa Being shot down by the ace pilots of the German 1st Fighter Wing flying Fokkeiii is their skill.  , where did the coalition pilot lose his face when he was shot down by a Ukrainian machine gunner with no eyesight on the ground?

    As long as there is a battle, there may be battle losses. In two consecutive days of air raids and ground attack operations, the 2nd Fighter-Bomber Wing of the coalition lost 3 SE5 biplane fighters and 2 DH4 reconnaissance/bombers, and was hit by ground fire.  As many as 5 SE5s and 4 DH4s were injured. It can be said that although the results of the air-ground battle between the two sides were one-sided, the process was by no means simple and easy

    Fortunately, the logistical support of the Allied Forces on the Eastern Front was in place, and the 2nd Fighter-Bomber Wing, which took over the combat mission of the 1st Fighter-Bomber Wing, was able to promptly replenish the battle-damaged aircraft and pilots. The 1st Fighter Wing was destroyed in the July 29 air battle.  The Germans shot down more than 60 fighter planes and damaged more than 20 fighter planes. Therefore, they were actually withdrawn by the command to Saratov for rest and replenishment. Fortunately, there were more reserve pilots than reserve aircraft. The first battle  It shouldn¡¯t take long for the bomber wing to regain its combat capabilities

    The King of China hopes that every flying wing under his command can maintain its own tradition and glory. This is why he does not plan to easily merge the 1st Fighter-Bomber Wing, which suffered heavy losses, into the 2nd Fighter-Bomber Wing Every  Each regiment should pass on its own fire Otherwise, the continuous mergers and divisions will make it difficult for the troops to form inseparable unity and friendship, and the troops will have competition. Healthy competition has always been the king of China in building China.  It was strongly promoted and encouraged when he joined the army.

    In the July 29 air battle over Ukraine that attracted worldwide attention, the coalition's frontline air force suffered considerable casualties. In the air battle on the morning of July 29 two days ago, the coalition air force lost 68 fighter planes and 38 pilots were killed or missing. Among the downed aircraft  Including 4 Chinese FR18s, fortunately they all crashed in the territory of the Volga Federation. The Southwest Front Army sent ground search troops to search and rescue the pilots and wreckage. In addition, the pilots who parachuted in Ukraine the night before had been found and rescued by the special operations team infiltrated by the coalition forces.

    So far, the coalition's frontline air force has only appeared in the skies over Ukraine for less than three days, but the intensity of air combat and ground attacks is the highest on the Eastern Front battlefield, especially ground attacks.In the early morning of July 30, 1 Handlipet O/400 bomber group of the 3rd Heavy Bomber Wing stationed in Shakhtinsky and Tsaritsyn in Kamiansk was dispatched. During the air attack, the Ukrainians deployed  The first trench-style defense line near the border exerted great power

    Because of this, during the two days of air attacks on Kharkov city defense and the northeastern forest area, the coalition headquarters in Samara did not agree to continue to invest the 3rd Heavy Bomber Wing Handlibet o/  400 bombers' air strikes on the ground also caused confusion among many coalition generals, especially Taro Utsunomiya and Jiro Oba, who commanded the Center Army of the Southwest Front Army in the Ukraine Campaign. Finally, the Chief of Staff of the Southwest Front Army and the former enemy headquarters of the Center Army  Chief of Staff Major General Shunroku Hata tentatively guessed that the Commander-in-Chief was afraid that we would blow up the enemy and give up guarding Kharkov and retreat directly

    In fact, Wang Geng's considerations go beyond that. Tanaka Yiichi and Jiang Fangzhen had the same question at the headquarters meeting. The Chinese king's answer was that Handley Petty o/400 and v/1500 have more bombs than the dh4 reconnaissance bomber.  It is much larger than the FR18 fighter-bomber, but its flight speed is slow
