Under the favorable conditions that the Saar Empire sent officers to help the Bailan Kingdom train its army, and the White Eagle Kingdom provided guns and ammunition, Bailan Kingdom declared war on the Red Rakshasa Kingdom.In the early days of the war, Bai Languo's operations were extremely smooth.The main force of the Red Roman Army is fighting against Brusilov in the east and Denikin in the south, and most of the militias are in the west.

These small numbers of militiamen could not resist the regular army's attack at all, so they retreated steadily in the defensive battle.The Bailan army advanced all the way, occupying most of Ukraine in late April, and captured Kiev in early May, which was extremely arrogant for a while.

The Bailan Army's offensive was sharp, and the front line was getting closer and closer to the capital Moscow, which turned the weakest threat from the west into the greatest threat.That's why Bunin chose to protest verbally and reach an agreement as soon as possible under the series of actions in the Western Special Zone, and turned the main force of the army to the West.

Having been suppressed and invaded by neighboring countries for many years, the Red Luo Army held a sigh of relief. Now that Bai Languo dared to shoot at the muzzle, he naturally became a venting bag.Under Fu Longzhi's planning, 40 Red Luo troops were secretly transferred from the eastern front to the western front, preparing to deal a fatal blow to the Bai Lan army.

The ignorant Bailan army thought it was invincible, so the whole army accelerated and headed towards Smolensk, the gateway to Moscow.Wherever he went, the Bailan army implemented the "three-all" policy, and robbed everything that could be robbed.It's no wonder that Bailan Kingdom, which has just been established, lacks everything, and everything it sees is useful.As a result, the grain and livestock of the Raksha farmers were destroyed, all the machinery in the factory was dismantled, and even the waste bricks that were knocked down in the factory were all packed away.

It is precisely because of the ferocity of the Bailan army that they are very unpopular. Many locals who originally rejected the Hongluo regime changed their positions because they were robbed by the Bailan army.The people in the occupied area quickly accepted the rule of the Hongluo regime, and formed a large number of guerrillas under the command of the Hongluo Army personnel who moved to the rear.

Under the harassment of the guerrillas, the Bai Lan Army's logistical supply line was repeatedly attacked, making them exhausted.In order to end this war as soon as possible, the Bailan Army decided to attack with all its strength and reach the city of Moscow as soon as possible, so as to force the Red Luo Army to sign an alliance under the city.Now Bai Languo not only wants to take back the land stipulated in the Brest Peace Treaty, but also annexes the entire Ukraine.

After gaining insight into the opponent's intentions, Frunze decided to launch a decisive battle in Smolensk, with a decisive battle to wipe out the invading enemy.Dazed and unaware that they had fallen into other people's schemes, the 20 Bai Lan army advanced all the way, and soon approached the Smolsk area.

Chapter 876 Red Luo Air Force

Smolensk is located in the upper reaches of the Dnieper River, and there have been records of human habitation for a long time. The city of Smolensk, which stands on the riverside, was established in the ninth century AD and is a very famous ancient city in the history of Rakshasa.Because of its superior geographical location and the presence of a river port, it became one of the train transportation hubs on the territory of the western continent of the Raksha Empire after the era of great industry began.

Because this city is only 360 kilometers away from Moscow, the capital of the Raksha Empire, it has always been a battleground for military strategists. In 1812, a fierce battle broke out between the Rakshasa Army and the invading Gaul. The loss of both sides was as high as 10 people. In the end, the Rakshasa Army was defeated.Given the ability of the Gaul army to sweep the Western Continent back then, it also needed to occupy this place before it dared to continue to attack Moscow, which shows the importance of Smolensk.

After conquering many big cities and devouring most of Ukraine, the complacent Bailan army decided to attack Kesmolensk in one fell swoop and seize the area between the West Dvina River and the Dnieper River.Occupying the favorable terrain here not only greatly improved the security of logistical supplies, but also opened the gateway to Moscow.

In order to achieve this goal, the Bailan Army invested 20 troops and four air wings, and under the unified command of General Smegley, launched a strong attack on Smolensk.After preliminary reconnaissance, it seemed that the Red Luo Army had only five divisions stationed in the front line of defense, which was not enough to block the main force of the Bailan Army.What's more, after the war, the Saar Empire sold a large amount of surplus materials to Bai Languo at a low price, allowing this new team to have extremely modern weapons and equipment from the very beginning.

Feeling that he had a chance to win, General Smegley decided to use his strength to crush the enemy on the opposite side in the regular combat method in the world war.First of all, 130 Handley Page bombers of various types were in the air. Under the cover of more than 80 F[-] Camel fighter jets, they bombarded the positions of the Red Army.

Originally, the Bailan Army bullied the Red Luo Army for not having an air force, thinking that it would be able to take advantage of the aerial bombing. Unexpectedly, the Bailan Army's air force was intercepted by the Hong Luo Air Force as soon as it was in the air.The Red Luo Army has had an air force since its formation. It was the masterpiece of the original Luocha Empire Air Force who decided to join the revolution after being encouraged by the Bu Party.At the beginning, the air force of the Red Roman Army was relatively weak. Not only did it not have many pilots, but it also only had a dozen or so old-fashioned Newport [-] fighter jets imported from Gaul.

Bunin attached great importance to this seemingly insignificant army.He not only sent people around to buy new aircraft, but also invested a lot of manpower and material resources in training pilots.In this regard, Bunin's vision is very unique. Although the purchase of aircraft was not smooth due to the blockade of various countries, the training of pilots was gradually carried out, and good results were achieved soon.

The growth of the Red Luo Air Force is due to the uselessness of the Rakshasa Army. It is precisely because of the negligence of Admiral Kolchak that during the surprise attack by Frunze, more than [-] J-[-] fighter jets were captured. .These J-[-] fighter jets are all obsolete products supported by the Western Special Zone, but for the Red Luo Army, these things are rare treasures.

With this batch of aircraft, the Hongluo Air Force immediately formed two air divisions as the basis for the future air force.After the fighting in other directions gradually subsided, one of the two air divisions was transferred to the direction of Smolensk.

For these Hongluo pilots who have not participated in actual combat, every opportunity to fight is precious.After receiving a telegram from the front line confirming the news of the Bailan Air Force participating in the war, the Hongluo Air Force was excited and immediately submitted an application to the headquarters for joining the war.

In view of the importance of the Battle of Smolsk, Trotsky, the commander-in-chief of the Red Roman Army, finally agreed to the air force's request.All the fighter jets of the [-]st Air Division of the Red Roman Army quickly took off and joined the battle of Smolensk.

The Red Luo Air Force dispatched collectively, and the huge aircraft group naturally couldn't escape the surveillance of the Bailan fighters. When they found that the opponent had fighter jets coming, the fighter units of the Bailan Air Force immediately seized the altitude and launched an air battle with the Red Luo Army.

The Red Luo Army has only over 40 aircraft, which is only half of the Bailan Army, but the J-[-] fighter is slightly stronger than the Camel fighter, and the Hong Luo pilots are even more fearless.Originally, the Bailan pilots didn't look down on these few Hongluo fighter jets at all, but when the two sides fought each other, they found that the opponent was quite difficult to deal with.

Most of the Hongluo pilots are new pilots transferred from the army. These newborn calves don't know what tactics are at all, and their fighting methods are full of traces of the army's bayonet fighting.When the Bailan pilots followed the usual practice and planned to compete with each other for speed, the Hongluo pilots ignored the endurance of the aircraft and forced a high-speed turn, directly approaching the Bailan fighter jets to shoot.

The fierce action of the Hongluo pilot caught the Bailan Air Force by surprise.The opponent's desperate shooting method close to the fuselage made the Bailan pilots flustered for a while and lost their standard. As a result, the planes were shot down one after another.Relying on the structural strength of the J-[-] fighter far surpassing that of fighters of the same generation, the pilots of the Red Luo Army started the air combat in a near-hand-to-hand manner.

By the time the Bailan Army pilots came to their senses and began to evade, more than ten Camel fighters had been lost.The desperate Bailan people raised their heights, intending to teach the Red Luo Air Force a solid lesson. What they never expected was that when the Bailan planes rose one after another to take advantage of the altitude, the Red Luo Air Force was under the guidance of the division commander Rahman. Under the leadership, they rushed directly to the heavy and slow bomber group.

Commander Rahman's mind is very clear. For ground operations, bombers are the most direct threat.Bombers are big, slow, good targets, and relatively easy to shoot down.With fighters at a disadvantage, addressing the immediate threat first is their top priority.

The fighter jets of the Red Luo Air Force flew by at low altitude, and went straight to the bomber group that was about to start dropping bombs.A Bombardier of the Bailan Air Force was about to open the door of the bombing bay, allowing the bombs in the bay to fall to the ground position in a free fall, when two metal jets suddenly appeared beside the plane.

The bomber couldn't dodge in time, and the left wing was directly torn apart. The bomber, which was already very heavy, was hit hard by this, and it plunged to the ground.Before the Bailan fighter group reacted, the Red Luo Air Force had bravely rushed into the bomber group. They ignored the machine gunners in the back seat of the plane and fired at the bomber desperately.

Facing the sudden blow, the Prynne bomber fleet, which had never experienced such an air battle, was in chaos. They didn't care about finding the target and began to disperse and flee.In order to escape quickly, the bombers opened the hatches one after another and threw bombs around to reduce weight.

Chapter 877 Don't hesitate to pay the price

Just 5 minutes later, the Prynne bomber was disarmed.The bombers turned their heads one after another and headed for their home airport, but the Hong Luo Air Force refused to let go.The number of Red Army aircraft is limited, and the only good way to solve the threat of the Bailan Air Force to the ground is to kill all the bombers of the opponent, so they do not intend to let the opponent go.

The Bailan fighter pilots finally came to their senses. They turned their noses around one after another, and rushed towards the Red Luo Army fighter group from the rear.Dense jets of bullets were flying all over the sky. In order to drive away the Hongluo fighter jets as soon as possible and protect their own bomber fleet, the Bailan pilots started shooting from 500 meters away.

According to those Bailan pilots, life-saving is the top priority. As long as a dense shooting net is formed, the Red Luo fighter jets can only avoid it.What surprised them was that the Red Army's fighting will was extremely firm, and the threat from the rear was getting closer and closer, but they kept clinging to the bomber and did not let go, regardless of personal safety.

All the Hongluo pilots were aiming at Commander Rahman while fighting.And the former Air Force Captain of the Rakshasa Empire, now one of the two masters of the Red Luo Air Force, Rahman, is pointing out the direction of attack with his own actions, leading his own fleet to carry out a reckless and resolute attack.

The flying speed of the bombers was too slow to compare with the J-[-] fighters of the Red Army. Under their desperate attack, the bombers of the Bailan Army fell one after another.A strange scene appeared in the sky. The Bailan bomber fled desperately to its own airport. Behind them were the relentless Hongluo fighter jets, and behind them were the Bailan fighter planes trying to catch up.Under the attack of Hongluo fighter jets, Bailan army bombers crashed from time to time, bursting into clusters of flames on the ground.

The Red Luo Air Force was not without losses. The Bailan fighter jets behind them fired desperately, causing heavy losses to the Red Luo Air Force, which focused on attacking bombers. In just 10 minutes, more than a dozen Hong Luo fighter jets were shot down.However, these fighter jets from the Western Special Zone are equipped with parachutes, so the loss of personnel of the Red Luo Air Force is much smaller.

The two sides chased and attacked all the way. When the last Prynne bomber saw its own airport in the distance, it was already difficult to move forward.Commander Rahman personally operated the knife, and the bullets of the two Type [-] heavy machine guns directly cut through the body, disintegrating this huge Handley Page bomber in the air, and the members of the bomber crew had already died in the blue sky.

After completing the task, Rahman heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around, only to find that there were only a dozen fighter jets left by his side, and the remaining 60 Bailan fighter jets pressed up aggressively, vowing to fight for his own side. Bombers take revenge.

Knowing that staying any longer would only increase casualties, Commander Rahman immediately ordered everyone to return.A J-[-] fighter jet pulled up to the height and rushed towards the way it came from at the highest speed.The Bailan Air Force pursued relentlessly, but the Camel fighter jets did not have the advantage in terms of maximum speed. Seeing that the opponent was chasing farther and farther, and their own fuel was about to run out, they had no choice but to give up the pursuit.

When Rahman barely returned to the airport with his battered fighter, he received a tsunami of cheers.Although the Red Luo Air Force's first battle suffered heavy losses, it was a great success.Although the Bailan Army still has a large number of fighter jets, with the bombers wiped out, their threat to the ground has been greatly reduced.

Upon receiving the news that all the attacking bombers had been wiped out and the fighters had suffered heavy losses, General Smegley cursed angrily.But it won't help any more scolding. After losing all the bombers, the role of the Bailan Air Force has dropped to a freezing point, and its deterrence against future land battles is close to zero.

The defeat in the first confrontation seemed to indicate that the future war would not be smooth, but Smeigley was unmoved.As a traditional soldier, he always believed that the victory or defeat of the land battle was in the hands of the army, and the air force was at best just icing on the cake.Now that the icing on the cake is gone, let the Army make it happen.

The Bailan army's heavy artillery started to roar, and the raindrops of shells landed on the Red Luo army's position, bursting into groups of shining fireballs.The soldiers of the Red Roman Army with inferior weapons could only hide in the trenches, silently enduring the opponent's attack.After all, shelling couldn't solve the problem, and the infantry had to be the last to occupy the position, so they endured, waiting for the opportunity to show their talents.

After half an hour of shelling, the charge of Bai Lan's army finally began.The Bailan army, which received great support from the Saar Empire, had obvious advantages in weapons. During this charge, they brought out more than 150 Mark IV tanks and the same number of Mark I gun carriages.

The Bailan Army's offensive was sharp. With a large number of tanks as the vanguard, coupled with the artillery firepower to suppress and cover at any time, the Bailan Army infantry's attack became more and more sharp.Facing the powerful offensive of the Bailan Army, the Red Luo Army can only rely on a few dozen anti-tank guns.

Seeing that the Bailan army's tanks were getting closer and closer, the anti-tank guns were not enough.These weapons, which are the only ones that can threaten the tank, have become the focus of attention of the Prynne tankers.Once someone uses an anti-tank gun, they will be attacked by tank guns. Although the 57mm short-barreled gun of the Mark IV tank is not powerful enough, it is quite easy to deal with infantry at close range.

As a result of such an attack, once the anti-tank gun was used, it was basically a swan song. As a result, the anti-tank gun was quickly lost, but only a mere 20 or so were destroyed.And these destroyed tanks only had their tracks fall off. As long as they were repaired, they could move as usual. Even if they were not repaired, their artillery and machine guns were still spitting out flames.

The tanks of the Bailan Road Army were too powerful for the Red Luo Army with only light weapons to resist. At this time, a Red Luo Army soldier named Kutkin was already red-eyed.Seeing that a comrade-in-arms beside him rushed forward with a cluster grenade and died with a Bailan tank, his whole body was already full of enthusiasm.

Kutkin also wanted to use cluster grenades to blow up the Bailan army tanks on the opposite side like his comrades.However, in the red Luo army, which was short of supplies, even grenades were not openly supplied.A grenade can't blow up a tank at all. The comrade-in-arms just now used seven or eight grenades collected from his comrades together and used them together, which finally succeeded.

After the Red Army soldiers destroyed the Bailan Army tanks with flesh and blood one after another, the grenades at the front of the position were also exhausted.Seeing the enemy army getting closer and closer, Kutkin really wanted to grab his rifle and rush up, use a bayonet to pry open the tank's cover, and die with the Bailan army inside.But rationality told him that such a result could only be a sacrifice in vain. In the absence of weapons, even if they wanted to die together, it would be quite difficult.

Chapter 878 Kutkin Cocktail

The helpless Kutkin stared at the Bailan army tank, but his hands were subconsciously groping, as if subconsciously trying to find a weapon that could defeat the enemy.Suddenly his left hand touched something round, and he looked down and found that it was a bottle of vodka.

The Raksha people are different from other ethnic groups because they live at a relatively high latitude. There are many people who like to drink spirits in order to keep warm, even regardless of gender. Therefore, spirits have become an indispensable necessity for the Raksha people.This has created a strange phenomenon. Among the military supplies of other countries, alcohol is absolutely forbidden, but in the Rakshasa Army, it is the most important strategic material.

Alcohol can relax the spirit, and it can also make the Raksha warriors invincible. This is only about race, and has nothing to do with political positions and ideals.Therefore, whether it is the Raksha Empire Army or the Red Raksha Army, vodka is an essential military supply.

In the Red Army, bullets are replenished every two days, but spirits are replenished once a day. The bottle of vodka that Kutkin touched just now is the ration that was just replenished today.Seeing this bottle of vodka, Kutkin's eyes lit up.As a spirit drunk in extremely cold regions, vodka has a very high alcohol content of more than [-] degrees, and some vodka brands even have an alcohol content of more than [-] degrees.Such a high alcohol content can be used as fuel if ignited.

Thinking of using raging fire to deal with those difficult Bailan army tanks, Kutkin immediately had an idea.He tore one of his spare shirts into strips, soaked them in the wine, and stuffed most of them into the bottle through the spout.After weighing the amount of vodka, Kutkin nodded in satisfaction.

He kept his body as low as possible, but his eyes were fixed on the Bailan army tank that was getting closer.Seeing the huge prismatic tank getting closer, Kutkin calmly lit the cloth with a match.

The cloth strips soaked in alcohol quickly burned, and Kutkin picked up the vodka bottle and jumped up, rushing towards the Bailan army tank in front of him.The driver of the tank quickly noticed the threat, and he hurriedly yelled at the machine gunners behind to turn their guns.

It's a pity that the design of the Mark IV tank is too backward. The driver passed the information to the machine gunner behind, wasting nearly five seconds. During this time, Kutkin had successfully approached the tank.At the last moment, the machine gunner finally found the target. He quickly turned his gun and fired wildly at Kutkin.

Kutkin, who was advancing, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he knew he had been shot.The steps under his feet faltered, and Kutkin felt that his eyes were becoming more and more blurred, but the endless hatred had already overwhelmed his reason, and made him do things that were unimaginable to the enemy.
