Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1798: The battle is won, the battle suffers

The Soviet anti-aircraft firepower was fast and effective. Under the influence of ground anti-aircraft firepower, the bombers had to climb to a higher altitude, and the bombing accuracy of the Soviet army was greatly reduced. Moreover, when they were caught off guard, the bombers had to climb to a higher altitude. More than a dozen bombers were shot and wounded, and four of them flew in the direction of Cullen, dragging thick smoke. The experienced pilots knew that the fate of these four bombers crashing was unavoidable.

Fortunately, the parachuting crew members were in an area controlled by Ziji troops, and their lives were in danger. Colonel Meng Qingpeng, the commander of the Outer Mongolia cruise area of ​​the Northern Aviation Group, is an old pilot who followed Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang on the mission. The Border Air Defense War, the Battle of Recovering North China, the Battle of Pingjin, the Niuxin Mountain ambush of the Kwantung Army in Western Liaoning, the Battle of the Southward Regiment of the Kwantung Army, and the Battle of Conquering Jinzhou. He is an aerial veteran who has been active in the northern sky. "" Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!

At that time, Meng Qingpeng served as the commander of the 1st Fighter Regiment of the Aviation Force. He had commanded mixed fleets many times to bomb the Japanese army. In his mind, he made an intuitive comparison between the air defense firepower of the Soviet army and the Japanese army. Compared with the Soviet air defense In terms of capabilities, the Japanese army is almost like an undefended army. In other words, it has no decent anti-aircraft firepower at all. Most of them use ground offensive weapons to temporarily serve as anti-aircraft firepower. This should be related to the strength of the opponents faced by the two ** teams.

It was getting late, and the Soviet air defense firepower was very fierce. Furthermore, the division commander's task for the Outer Mongolia patrol area was to cover the Tong Batu Brigade and Li Changjiang Brigade's safe evacuation from Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude to avoid the Soviet Army. The pursuit and the bombing just now were additional gains for yijing. Meng Qingpeng was not a war-loving commander.

After observing the situation on the ground, Meng Qingpeng ordered: "The bomber formation returns immediately, the fighter formation. Follow me, show the color of the Soviet ground anti-aircraft firepower, Cullen ground air control, and immediately contact the 2nd and 5th brigades. Ask the two departments if they will evacuate to a safe area."

More than a hundred fighter jets roared down from high altitude. In the dim dusk, the little sparks emerging from the ground were the best targets. The Soviet ground anti-aircraft firepower was a huge weapon for the bombers, but For a fast, light fighter, the degree of wēixié is extremely low.

A group of fighter jets in the Outer Mongolia cruising area flew over the Soviet army. They nimbly shuttled through the fire net, pouring bullets after bullets onto the heads of the Soviet air defense firepower groups. Although there was no heavy aviation When the bomb exploded, there were spectacular scenes of fireworks, flames, and loud noises, but the spray of machine gun bullets also caused the Soviet soldiers to suffer a great deal, knocking them off their feet.

More than 20 minutes later, Meng Qingpeng gave the order for the entire fighter group to return. When a fighter division from the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region Air Force arrived in the Irkutsk airspace, the fighter group of the ** division had already arrived. Without a trace, the Soviet pilots saw only burning trucks, artillery, and tanks on the ground, as well as the corpses of Soviet soldiers and the wounded wailing in pain everywhere.

Major General Sergeyev, the commander of the Third Army, had a big argument on the ground-to-air communication device with the commander of the fighter division who came to support him. It is no wonder that Commander Sergeyev lost his temper and asked for air support.

Up to now, more than three hours have passed in Yijing. According to the flying speed of Soviet fighter jets, they can arrive in the combat airspace dozens of minutes earlier. At that time, it was the Soviet Union's fighter group that was raging in the sky above Ziji.

.

The commander of the Soviet fighter division who came to provide air support was also very angry. His division had long been on standby on the runway. As long as he gave an order, more than 200 fighter jets could take off. With the order to take off,

But they didn't come, so Ziji took more than 200 pilots and sat in the cabin for more than an hour. It was an extremely torturous hour.

Finally, Rongyi desperately rushed to the Irkutsk airspace, but was met with a lot of complaints and accusations. The angry fighter division commander couldn't help but yelled: "That's enough, Comrade Commander, ruguo, do you think we can support you?"

Chi, you can report to the military district that we delayed the fighter planes. That is your right. I'm sorry, because the enemy aircraft fleet has to evacuate the battlefield, my troops are returning home. Goodbye!"

After saying that, the Air Force Division Commander, who was also a hot-tempered Air Force Division Commander, cut off contact without politeness. On the ground, Commander Sergeyev, whose face was livid with anger, slammed the phone down and looked at the dusk.

The battlefield was full of messes, and the breath was stuck in the chest. This day was not smooth for Ziji. Although Irkutsk was captured without a battle, the Chinese cavalry unit that was supposed to be surrounded escaped.

, and was severely beaten by Chinese bombers and fighter jets.

From the perspective of the purpose of the battle, the Third Army was victorious. According to the expected purpose, it occupied the city of Irkutsk. However, from the perspective of combat, the Third Army suffered a moderate loss. Not only was it able to kill one

The Chinese soldiers Ziji suffered losses instead. Also, Commander Sergeyev, who was coerced by the fanatical Nikolayevsky, looked at the growing night on the grasslands of Outer Mongolia and felt weak.

The order: "The military headquarters enters the city!"

Suddenly, he remembered that the Chinese planes, with such indiscriminate bombing, were going to chase the retreating Chinese cavalry armored brigade. No matter what the losses were, they must not kill that Nicholas.

Otherwise, Ziji would not be able to explain to the superiors. Commander Sergeyev ordered the staff around him to "immediately contact Comrade Nikolay Gorsky, commander of the armored brigade, and ask about the brigade's current status and losses?"

"

After a while, I got a reply, "Comrade Commander, our armored brigade is currently located in Weizhi, more than 50 kilometers south of Irkutsk, and is searching for traces of the retreat of the Chinese cavalry troops. We are pursuing them. The troops are méiyou.

Suffer any losses! If there is any new situation, report it at any time, brigade commander and political commissar Colonel Nikolay Gorsky."

Major General Sergeyev was speechless. He could only shake his head with a wry smile and thought to himself: "What the hell, almost all the units of the Third Army were bombed by the ** Division Air Force to varying degrees. Why?

That guy doesn't care about anything. He shouldn't. An armored brigade is not a small target. How can he lose everything?"

Nikolagorski was indeed lucky. He commanded the armored brigade to pursue Shihou southward, and the bomber group in the Outer Mongolia cruising area returned from Yijing. Meng Qingpeng's fighter group saw a large number of Soviet troops after seeing reports from ground radar stations.

The fighter jets were rushing to the Irkutsk airspace, and he didn't want to fight. It was such a small target, and he didn't want to risk being entangled by the Soviet fighter jets that were catching up.

Moreover, the fighter group did not have much fuel and ammunition left, and it was not enough to support an air battle. Due to a strange combination of circumstances, Nikolagorski's armored brigade escaped and had no idea that death had passed by.

Brigadier Nikolayevsky, relieved with high spirits

Telescope, ordered: "The troops will advance immediately and camp after two hours. Tell the soldiers not to be afraid of fatigue. We are great Soviet Red Army soldiers and have the confidence and courage to defeat all enemies. Turn on the headlights of all armored vehicles and search

go ahead!"

The brigade chief of staff and several battalion commanders beside him looked at each other, feeling helpless at the blind command of the brigade commander and political commissar. In the dark night, turning on the headlights of all armored vehicles was tantamount to

The retreating Chinese cavalry troops sent a signal that we are pursuing you. Moreover, the terrain is unknown and the enemy's situation is unknown. So we are so loud, for fear that the enemy will pursue us unexpectedly. What if we are ambushed?

But looking at Comrade Brigade Commander's posture, he must have been unable to hear what he said. A bad Comrade Brigade Commander with a background as a political cadre was labeled as being afraid of the enemy and having a cowardice mentality on a certain unlucky person.

The big hat of a man is called upon by Cheka agents. Which one can handle it?

In the dark night, all the vehicles of the Soviet armored brigade turned on their headlights and formed a column on the grassland dirt road, like a snake that snaked and swam due south.

About seventy kilometers due south of Irkutsk, in a low and sparse forest, the troops of the Second Cavalry Brigade were resting here, running non-stop for dozens of kilometers, and Xiao was growing on horseback.

The Mongolian men, who were large enough to eat, drink and sleep on horseback, were also tired of men and horses. After receiving the order to rest where they were, the soldiers looked at the sweaty horses and felt heartbroken.

Ignoring the consequences, he first took off the saddle and all the weights from the horse's back, then carefully wiped the sweat of the war horse, and led him to the difāng where the grass was rich. While looking at his beloved war horse, chewing the grass sweetly, he

They sat together in twos and threes, took out water bottles and dry food, filled their stomachs, and whispered from time to time about the thrilling retreat today.

The brigade commander, Major General Tong Batu, sat alone in front of a small tree, motionless, like a sculpture, staring in the direction of Irkutsk with blood-red eyes. Next to him were the dry food and water bottles brought by the guards.

, but he still had no appetite, and his heart was burning with pain.

Originally, the retreat of the Second Brigade should have been a near miss. The Soviet encirclement had not yet been formed. A battalion serving as the vanguard of the retreat was closely monitoring the Soviet actions on both sides of the encirclement that the Soviets were about to close.

The width of the cavalry was continuously reported to the brigade headquarters. The second brigade withdrew from the shihou in Irkutsk. According to Tong Batu's calculations, the cavalry would reach the unencircled opening in less than thirty minutes at full speed.

The opening of more than 20 kilometers wide was enough for the Second Brigade to safely withdraw from the Soviet encirclement. More than 5,000 troops could disappear deep into the vast steppes of Outer Mongolia in less than half an hour, waiting for Lao Maozi.

Shihou, who was completely surrounded, could only see the dust gradually dissipating, but an accident happened.
