Chapter 18 Falling from the Sky
The highest point in Lithuania is only 293.6 meters above sea level. Compared with other places, it is flat like a carpet.
This flat terrain is exactly suitable for the rapid attack of armored troops. However, before the attack, destroying air and maritime maneuvering forces is a necessary means to ensure the safety of the flanks.
The flat "little carpet" in Lithuania has a depth of only 400 kilometers. It can be foreseeable that after the war began, the Soviets could use the Baltic navy to land, thereby cutting off the supply line for the Polish army's attack spearhead.
Marshal Edward Rez Himigvi looked at the red arrow representing the Polish navy on the map, and couldn't help but feel a little careful.
"Is it necessary for us to attack the Soviet Baltic fleet? The purpose of the Satan Eagle is not that simple!"
When the Soviet Union completely lost the sea control of the Baltic Sea, it was obvious that in the future, the Germans could easily maintain their supply lines from the sea. The entire western border of the Soviet Union became a blank area without defensive means.
"future……"
As a politician, the President of Poland, Marshal Edward Rez Himigvi, had to consider more and longer.
Although attacking the Baltic fleet of the Soviet Union's Red Flag was beneficial to Poland's current combat, it was definitely not a necessary means.
"Or the Satan Eagle is counting on the situation in the future, more impacting the situation in Eastern Europe, or..."
Politicians always have many speculations about the future. Especially when the situation is in progress, there will inevitably be many misjudgments.
"Maybe he is preparing to restore the Russian Empire, so Poland will still have to face a strong country in the future!"
Thinking of the future, he couldn't help but feel a little worried!
But the war did not change because of his concerns, because the war had begun!
The Soviet Polish sea fleet had lost all its warships on duty outside, which was the act of the seagull attack boats taken off from Finland by the Chinese Federation, clearing offensive paths and obstacles for the Polish air fleet.
In order to exempt the Soviet Baltic fleet from attacking its coastline, the Finnish government generously provided a forward attack base.
Just as the Polish government declared war on the Soviet Union through the "first line", the Polish naval air fleet began to attack at the forward attack base.
At the airport, groups of "Kamikaze" bombers purchased from Japan flew to Kronstadt (Coulomb Steyd), the home port of the Soviet Baltic Sea, under the cover of the Feidi-z-type combat aircraft with a sub-fuel tank.
This was once the gateway to St. Petersburg, with a large number of sea, land and air forces stationed. Although the capital of the Soviet Union is now in Moscow, it still has an indispensable importance as a strategic location.
In order to resist the possible war, an airport was established on the island of the Gulf of Finland. Although it was just some squadrons or squadron fighters, it did not pose any important threat to the flying dy-z of the Polish air fleet.
But it can provide enough early warning for the Red Flag Baltic fleet to effectively resist when facing attacks.
At dawn, the rising sun had just projected its morning light onto the western sky. If you looked to the east, there was still a nearly absolute darkness.
At the seaplane base on Goghland Island, a seaplane was slowly slid. Although the terrain on the island was not flat, the Soviets still built considerable sea and air bases on the island.
In the mountains in the middle of the island, there is a runway built in a ravine and protected by good air defense firepower on the hills on both sides. The cave hangar at the top of the runway houses 36 fighter jets from a squadron and 6 improved "Thunder Attack Planes" from a squadron.
The naval base on the coast also has a good air defense firepower network, and a team of torpedo boats are stationed here.
Here, the most important outpost of the Soviet Union on the Baltic Sea was formed.
The white tracks dragged by the seaplane are clearly visible under the lights. This seaplane equipped with photography and remote communication equipment will provide a more distant reconnaissance method for the base and the Baltic fleet.
The commander of the long-range reconnaissance plane held a hot saucer and sucked the hot tea into his mouth in small mouthfuls. He looked at the seaplane that left the base under the light, and he was quite satisfied with the current situation.
"Nothing is better than the refreshing tea in the morning, waiting for them to fly away..."
He was satisfied with the current situation. The war was still going on in the east far away from him, and it had nothing to do with it.
Although fighters and old pilots from the island base have been transferred, due to the importance here, 36 American Wildcat fighters and some new pilots are also added here.
Those new Sky Prides were already having good deals with the female soldiers in the base at this time.
He sucked another sip of hot tea, thinking in his mind whether he should eat something more, but he immediately gave up on this idea.
"The quiet and wonderful dawn should last for a while. When the seaplane flies away, my mission will be completed. Then..."
But the appearance of the correspondent soldier almost immediately interrupted his good feeling, although he thought what he heard was not a serious matter.
"Comrade Commander, our coast guard radar discovered something strange!"
The saucer in his hand was placed on the desk, like all officers, his eyes became serious and serious. Whether he was thinking about the cute girl among the female soldiers in his heart, his expression was more like Stalin than Stalin.
He looked at the communications soldier with a serious look. He found that the guy's eyes were not covered with blood after staying up all night, and there was even a clean eye booze on the corners of his eyes.
"Well, this bastard went to bed while on duty last night. How should I criticize him?... Forget it, he will have to do some things in the future!"
The communication soldier obediently put the documents on the table. In order to show his attentiveness, he bent down, his young eyes seemed flexible and moist.
"Comrade Commander, you know those new guys, they have a lot of good things. Yesterday I got some cigarettes and whiskey from them..."
The young soldier understood in his heart that his intimate relationship with the commander would prevent him from having to stand on any post or help him with the ground staff, which would make him covered in oil.
"Maybe the commander would give a beautiful speech to the political commissar and both sides were hurt, and I could get a party vote, then..."
Looking at the young and loyal face, the commander became even happier.
"This is a young man who knows the worldly style. His parents are smart people..."
The happy thoughts in his heart made his serious expression softer, but he still maintained the majesty of the commander when he spoke.
"What are you talking about? We are soldiers... but be careful...well, tell me the news you brought!"
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
———————————————————————————————————————————————————— The communication soldier looked at his commander with satisfaction. The satisfaction in the other person's eyes made him think that he was definitely a promising young man.
Despite this, he stood at attention immediately, so that the commander could understand how important his orders were and how much he was a soldier.
"Yes, comrade commander, I just received the information sent to us by the coast guard radar whistle. They said there were some strange light spots on the sea. Although they didn't know what it was, those things were approaching..."
"A strange spot of light... is approaching... why don't you report it, don't you know... war..."
Perhaps compared with soldiers, commanders always know more. Although they can't receive any front-line broadcasts now, officers always hear more about the gossip than soldiers.
"Is it Finland or Poland..."
When he thought in his heart, he had left the comfortable chair. Of course, he was not planning to make a decision or send an alarm.
As a lower-level officer, the only thing he can do is to immediately call his commander and report the new situation to him.
Only by doing this is completely correct. Because as a commander full of prospects, he cannot risk going to the military court to issue an alarm, thus ruining his future.
However, war practice is often the most direct and effective means to test an army. Otherwise, the theories studied by military strategists behind the desk are just boring gossip.
The result of the current war test is that the bureaucratic Soviet army can no longer bear the mission of defending the Soviet state.
On the sea, some "little demons" flying around the sea - "razor rotor attack aircraft", their flight trajectory is like the sudden lift of a cobra's neck.
The right to control information on the battlefield is always the first step in war operations. Although the Poles did not understand these military theories that had already been formed in the Chinese Federation, they also understood that if they wanted to attack the Baltic fleet, then suddenly destroying its outpost was the most important attack.
Therefore, some "razor rotor attack aircraft" that were towed by bombers came to the edge of the Soviet air radar and released it after a long sea-skipping flight to the outpost on the western border of the Soviet Union.
As dawn is approaching, the Poles' attacks begin. An attack team of three razors deals with one target.
They are air-to-air radar, long-range communication equipment, and command center.
For this goal, the razors all made one-way flights. After completing the attack, they could only hide in the mountains on the island, waiting for the rescue and airdrop of subsequent troops.
