Age of Conquest Reborn

Kulun, the headquarters of the Outer Mongolia Border Defense Force, Tang Qiuli's temporary command post, Wang Jun, Chief of Staff of the Border Defense Force, put down the phone and turned back to Tang Qiuli and said: "Commander, the ground air command report, Commander Liu personally led the team, the first batch of aircraft

Already taking off!”

Tang Qiuli shook his head with a smile and said: "The two generals of the aviation force have the same temper. When they hear that there is a war, their eyes will dazzle. Call Sun Zhenbang and tell him that our fleet will be deployed immediately.

We are about to reach the Selenge River airspace. At the same time, remind him that the Soviet mixed fleet is heading towards him, so pay attention to the air defense of the troops!"

A few minutes later, Sun Zhenbang received a telegram from the division commander. After reading the telegram, a big stone fell in his heart. At this time, he hoped that the Soviet artillery bombardment would start, so as to indicate the target to the aviation force and eliminate the greatest threat to his position.

The Soviet artillery was blown to pieces.

Putting down the telegram, Sun Zhenbang thought about it carefully. Suddenly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He understood why the Soviet artillery bombardment and attack had not started yet. They were waiting for the bombers. Needless to say,

It must be heading towards the artillery holes and shelters of our own troops. Since the artillery shells couldn't do anything, bombers were used instead.

It is unimaginable that without the support of the aviation fleet, the heavy aerial bombs flying in the sky are much more powerful than the Soviet 150mm caliber howitzer shells. Even if they do not hit directly, the anti-blast holes and shelters of the civil structure can be

After several rounds of bombings, if not, more than half of the frontline troops will be buried alive inside. What a danger! The Soviet commander's tactics are quite vicious. His opponent is a scheming guy who is very difficult to deal with!

Sun Zhenbang no longer hesitated to withdraw about half of his forward troops for his own sake, the decision was correct!

Colonel Longganovsky of the 1st Fighter Division of the Air Force of the Transcaucasus Military District of the Soviet Union was an experienced veteran. He first served in the Air Force of the former Far Eastern Military District. Later, he was transferred to the Air Force of the Transcaucasian Military District as an official, and his position was also headed by a colonel.

He was promoted to senior colonel commander. For many years, he has been active in the southeastern region of the Soviet Union, fighting with the Chinese aviation force. He also fought with the aviation force of the Japanese Kwantung Army.

In the Outer Mongolia War a few years ago, which caused the Far East Military Region to have its designation revoked, Colonel Zyuganovsky was lucky. The fighter regiment he commanded did not wait for the order to join the battle, and the war ended in a crushing defeat for the powerful Soviet Union.

It ends in a way.

Colonel Zyuganovsky has not participated in a battle with the aviation force of the ** Division, but this does not prevent him from paying attention to the miracles created by the aviation force of that country far in the south, which has been extremely weak for a century. Although many conclusions are

He got it from the mouths of other unit commanders who had participated in the battle. Therefore, his evaluation of the aviation force of the ** Division was objective but lacked direct understanding.

Later, in order to cooperate with Zhukov's Far Eastern Front in the battle against the Japanese Kwantung Army, Zyuganovsky, who had been promoted to senior colonel commander, commanded his First Fighter Division and fought against the Kwantung Army's air force many times, winning and losing.

Slightly upper hand.

Colonel Zyuganovsky compared comprehensive factors such as the Kwantung Army Air Force and the ** Division Air Force, tactics, tactics, pilots' combat spirit, combat will, training level, aircraft performance, etc., and came up with a conclusion

In conclusion, the aviation force of the ** Division is slightly inferior to the Japanese Kwantung Army in terms of overall level.

Therefore, Colonel Zyuganovsky does not have so much psychological fear and burden for the opponents he is about to face, but this does not prevent him from paying enough attention to, at least, the commander of the Northern Flying Group of the ** Division Aviation

Liu Cuigang's name is still well-known in the Far East. He is a formidable opponent!

At the operational meeting before commanding the fighter group to take off, Colonel Zyuganovsky warned the three regiment commanders, "We must not take it lightly and underestimate the enemy. The aviation unit of the ** Division is a difficult opponent to deal with. Japan

The fact that the Kwantung Army Air Force was repeatedly defeated by them illustrates the problem."

After the fleet took off, the First Fighter Division put out a combat formation, not a cruising formation. From the bottom of his heart, Colonel Zyuganovsky was quite critical of his superiors' use of air power.

In his view, it would not be appropriate to use the bomber force without conducting several large-scale decisive air battles in the Outer Mongolian airspace and consuming most of Liu Cuigang's air combat power.

Otherwise, the four fighter divisions assembled in Outer Mongolia would not only be used to escort the bomber formations, but also fight against the ** division aviation, which would appear to be insufficient and scattered. However, he is just a division commander, a man of low opinion, and his superiors will not care about him at all.

Adopting his own opinion made the wise Colonel Zyuganovsky very depressed.

That's all. After receiving the order to escort the bomber group, Colonel Zyuganovsky snorted angrily. In his opinion, the commanders of the military air force simply didn't know shit. It was okay to dispatch bombers, as long as they

The escorting fighter group is tightly guarded and responds with caution. No fighter from the Air Force division will take advantage of the loophole.

But look, the bomber division dispatched turned out to have just been transferred from the Don River Military Region not long ago. It is not the air force of the Don River Military Region, whose combat capabilities and training levels are not worth mentioning, but the difference between two different types of aircraft.

Regarding coordination issues, the Soviet Union was a large country with a vast territory. Each military region’s air force had its own set of training models. Under unified standards, there were considerable differences.

If Colonel Zyuganovsky were commanding it himself, he would send out the 1st Bomber Division of the Transcaucasian Military District Air Force, if for no other reason than to improve the proficiency of coordination. The two units would frequently conduct mixed formation drills, and each other would

Familiarity makes it less likely to make mistakes. On the battlefield, such mistakes can sometimes be fatal.

For example, right now, the original plan is for the 3rd Bomber Division of the Air Force of the Don River Military Region to take off from Barnur Airport forty minutes in advance and maintain cruising speed. Forty minutes later, its own fighter division will take off from Chita Airport.

, met in the sky over Simbatisk, and then formed a mixed fleet to fly to the theater together to perform bombing missions.

However, when more than 190 fighters of the First Fighter Division arrived in the Simbatisk airspace according to the scheduled time, not even a single aircraft of the Third Bomber Division of the Air Force of the Don Military Region was seen.

Colonel Ganovsky thought that his fighter group was fast and the bomber group was slow and had not arrived yet. He commanded the formation and patiently circled and waited in the Zimbatisk airspace.

Fifteen minutes later, Colonel Zyuganovsky, who had almost faded from waiting, finally lost his composure and called to the ground air commander, "Air commander, I am Colonel Zyuganovsky of the First Fighter Division.

, calling in the Simbatisk airspace, now asking, it has been fifteen minutes beyond the scheduled rendezvous time, why has the escort target not appeared yet, and has there been a change in the plan?"

The answer from the ground air controller almost made Colonel Zyuganovsky spit out a mouthful of blood, "I am the ground air controller, what happened? The bomber group has passed through the predetermined airspace for twenty-five minutes, why are you lagging behind? Jiuganov

Novsky, I warn you, if the brother troops of the Don River Military Region Air Force suffer any losses due to your fault, all the consequences will be borne by you!"

Colonel Zyuganovsky heard it. The person in charge of commanding the air combat on the ground was the Major General Chief of Staff of the Military Region Air Force. His immediate superior was the senior colonel who usually didn’t catch a cold himself and received a warning and reprimand.

, he didn’t even dare to fart, even though he knew that the responsibility for such a mistake was not his own at all, but that there was a problem with the cooperation between the two troops.

Colonel Zyuganovsky ignored his own grievances and broke out in a cold sweat. It took less than forty minutes to reach the airspace of the Selenga River from the Simbatisk airspace. Twenty-five minutes had already passed for the bomber group.

, Oh my God, that is to say, those stupid guys have already approached the bombing airspace. If the bomber group without fighter escort encounters Liu Cuigang's fighter jets, they will be like chickens waiting to be slaughtered!

Colonel Zyuganovsky roared: "Attention, all regiments, get into battle formation and catch up with the bomber formation as quickly as possible!"

He couldn't help but be anxious. Those idiots from the Don River Military Region Air Force bombed the Army Division's positions without fighter escort. It was as if they were looking for their own death. It was really fucking evil. No.

Do you know how to ask Kong Zhi? Or wait ten minutes. If they are unlucky, their life will not be easy. At the very least, Comrade Major General Chief of Staff will not let him go. He will not let himself go until he is half dead.

Will give up!

In the airspace on the south bank of the Selenge River, Liu Cuigang commanded eight fighter regiments and flew to the war zone at a steady speed. Behind the fighter formation, about thirty minutes behind, two bomber regiments were also flying to the war zone.

Liu Cuigang looked around the sky. The morning sun had risen and the sky was cloudless. It was a good weather for air combat. At this time, a call suddenly came from the call channel, "No. 1, No. 1, this is the Cullen ground air commander. I'm receiving the call.

According to the report from the radar station, the Soviet aircraft group is divided into two parts, about 25 minutes apart, and is approaching our aircraft group. It is strange that the Soviet army's battle formation is somewhat unreasonable, with the bomber formation as the leader.

The fighter formation is lagging behind!”

Liu Cuigang shook his head in disbelief and asked, "What? Is this true? Repeat it again!"

Cullen's ground air control commander repeated what he just said. This time, Liu Cuigang believed it. He turned on the airborne radar. Sure enough, two small bright spots appeared on the screen. Judging from the size of the bright spots, the front

The group in question must be a group of Soviet bombers, but the distance between the bright spots of the two groups is gradually shrinking.
