    When the Japanese artillery bombardment started, the Soviet army and Xia Yang's artillery regiment also began to bombard them fiercely.  At the same time, the fighter jets and bombers on the field airport took off again and began to carry out violent bombing on the area where the Japanese troops gathered.

    And their reconnaissance planes began to search for Japanese artillery positions in the air.

    At this time, Xia Yang was actually a little excited.

    Because he can now command the air force, many of his important theories for later generations can be put to use at this time.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    There is no navy here, but with the air force and the army, Xia Yang can at least command these troops for a systematic land and air coordinated operation.

    The artillery fire from both sides was carrying out bombardment, and at this time, the Japanese army was waiting for the bombardment to end before launching an attack.  However, Xia Yang had already begun to let his scouts use some observation equipment that was only available in later generations to judge the approximate area where their artillery positions were located at this time through the trajectories of the Japanese artillery shells.

    After judging these general areas, he naturally did not want to use his own artillery regiment to bombard the enemy's artillery positions, or use guard battalions to conduct a sneak attack.  This is risky, and the input and output are not proportional.

    Now Xia Yang has a new choice, because he has an air force, and the Soviet Air Force now has absolute battlefield air supremacy.

    After the Japanese artillery bombardment began, Xia Yang immediately dispatched a reconnaissance plane to conduct reconnaissance in the general direction of the Japanese artillery position that had been determined previously.

    Originally, it took a lot of time for these reconnaissance planes to search for Japanese artillery positions on the vast grasslands.  After all, the Air Force reconnaissance aircraft at that time had relatively primitive methods, and even needed to use the naked eye to find targets.

    But now it¡¯s different. Xia Yang has already told them the general area. These Soviet reconnaissance planes only need to search that area.  This greatly improves the search efficiency and narrows the search scope.

    The Soviet reconnaissance plane flew over the Japanese artillery position in only ten minutes.  They hovered there for less than a few minutes and found the Japanese artillery position.

    These Soviet reconnaissance planes did not stay here longer. They gave the fighter jets and dive bombers preparing for battle at the airport a coordinate, and then continued to fly to the area where the next artillery position was located.

    Those fighter jets and bombers that received the information about the location of the Japanese artillery positions immediately took off from the airport and launched attacks on the Japanese artillery positions.

    The Japanese artillerymen were firing vigorously at this time.  In the past, due to material supply issues, they were sparing when firing artillery shells, for fear of running out of shells.

    Now it¡¯s different. The shells are stuffed into the barrel one after another as if they are free.

    After all, the Japanese generals have regarded this attack as the final decisive battle, and naturally they will not be stingy with any ammunition.  It can be said that everything that was packed at the bottom of the box was taken out.

    It¡¯s just that they had been bombarding for less than twenty minutes when they heard a distant roar.

    That was the sound of fighter and bomber engines, as well as the sound of airflow produced when the propellers rotated.  They couldn't be more familiar with it, because on the way to Tamtsag Prague, they were often bombed by the Soviets.

    It¡¯s just that the Soviet fighter jets and bombers at that time, because they couldn¡¯t find suitable targets, often dumped their bombs on crowded places, which could ensure maximum damage, but ignored the bombing of their artillery.

    But it¡¯s different now. Those fighter jets and bombers are obviously coming towards them.

    The anti-aircraft artillery positions on the periphery of the Japanese artillery positions began to aim their guns at Soviet fighters and bombers.

    "Fire!!!" the Japanese commander yelled.

    Those anti-aircraft guns began to roar. In the high blue sky, you can clearly see the black smoke produced when the shells flew into the air and exploded.

    However, the number of these anti-aircraft guns was limited and they could not form a firepower network sufficient to withstand the Soviet fighter formations.  Although several Soviet fighter jets were destroyed and fell downwards with gunpowder smoke, there was still no way for the Soviet formation to reach the sky above the Japanese artillery positions.

    After those Soviet fighter planes arrived at the designated coordinate point, they quickly found the location of the Japanese artillery position.  Fighters and bombers immediately began to dive towards the Japanese artillery positions in the air.

      This way of bombing and strafing can ensure the highest hit rate and increase the impact on Japanese artillery positions.

    When the soldiers on the Japanese artillery position saw the swooping fighters and bombers, they shouted to take cover and jumped into the temporarily dug foxholes.

    ¡°Boom boom!!!¡±

    One after another, aerial bombs landed on the Japanese artillery positions.

    On top of the Japanese artillery position, bursts of black gunpowder smoke suddenly rose.  The violent explosion quickly covered the area.

    Some shell boxes detonated by aerial bombs caused a series of explosions.  On the Japanese artillery positions, screams could be heard everywhere, and even some cannon parts were blown into the air, and then fell to the ground.

    After the bombing, these fighters and bombers immediately raised their flight altitude, left the battlefield, returned to the airport to replenish ammunition, and then flew to the next target point to continue bombing.

    Such scenes are also happening in other artillery positions of the Japanese army.

    The two airports outside Tamtsag Prague, as well as the fighters and bombers at several other field airports, have now become an extension of Xia Yang's firepower, accurately striking various Japanese artillery positions.

    Although these bombings could not completely destroy the Japanese artillery, they could also greatly weaken the bombardment power of the Japanese artillery.

    Many Japanese artillery positions lost the ability to continue shelling because shell boxes were detonated, triggering a series of explosions.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
