Age of Conquest Reborn

Liu Cuigang commanded the fleet, and after taking advantage of it, he quickly left the battlefield in accordance with the order of division commander Tang Qiuli. The surviving fighters of the First Fighter Division of the Air Force of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region dared to take advantage of the situation and pursue them. It was too late to escape.

!Flying towards Chita without daring to look back.

Among them was Colonel Longganovsky, the division commander who was lucky enough to escape with his life. His plane had been severely damaged. In addition to the two wings, which were like sieves, full of large holes, the cockpit was also damaged.

He was hit by two machine gun bullets. If he hadn't been skilled and quick in reaction, the bullet would have passed through his head. A big hole was punched in the tail of the plane. The plane was like an old bull carrying a load climbing a hill, making a heavy sound.

A low growl.

Colonel Zyuganovsky worked hard to control the fighter jet that was almost falling apart and could fall at any time. He was secretly grateful that in just over an hour, he had a nightmare-like experience. Fortunately, the fighter pilot was not killed.

Damn it, if they were to evacuate five minutes later, they and the landline would definitely turn into a ball of fire over the Selenga River.

It should be that a large fleet of reinforcements has arrived. Otherwise, the ** fighter group, which has the absolute upper hand, will not let go of himself who has become a turtle in the urn. Colonel Zyuganovsky, please stabilize your mind before you have time to take a look.

own fleet.

Seeing that it didn't matter, Colonel Zyuganovsky shed tears. When we took off from the Chita Field Airport, we had strong troops and more than 180 fighter jets from three regiments. How majestic it was, but more than an hour later

, there were no more than thirty fighter jets in total following him, including three to five cats and dogs, and all of them were injured. How many of them could fly back to the airport safely?

Colonel Zyuganovsky felt desolate in his heart. After this battle, the 1st Fighter Division, the ace unit of the Transcaucasus Military Region Air Force, was completely crippled. It was almost as if the entire army was annihilated. More than 150 fighter jets

and the pilots. They stayed above the Selenge River forever, waiting for themselves to be severely punished by military justice. Just because they failed to escort the 3rd Bomber Division of the Air Force of the Don River Military Region, the whole division was annihilated. That is.

Unexplainable charges.

Colonel Zyuganovsky, calm down your emotions. Report: "Chita Aerial Command. Zyuganovsky of the 1st Fighter Division reported that five minutes ago, the **Fighter Division fighter group suddenly left the battlefield and has already

Returning, I am commanding the remaining twenty-eight fighter jets on their way back. Many fighter jets will land with injuries. Please make emergency repair preparations at the airport. Report completed!"

After saying that, Colonel Zyuganovsky turned off the intercom and flew to the Chita Field Airport in a daze, with an air of resignation, because he did not know what would be waiting for him after he landed.

What could it be? Maybe, an agent of the Counterrevolutionary Committee, and an iron prison van!

After receiving the report from Colonel Zyuganovsky, General Konev, commander of the Air Force of the Transcaucasus Military Region, felt nervous. He was about to inquire about the situation in detail, but found that the other party had turned off the intercom. Konev

My husband was so angry that he slammed the microphone on the table.

This is also what I worry about the most. After taking advantage, the ** Division Aviation Air Force does not engage in combat with the large fleet of reinforcements and adopts evasive tactics. It does not even give them a chance to retaliate. Then my idea of ​​​​reversing the defeat is completely in vain.

A bomber division that came to help was completely wiped out, and not a single bomber flew back. A fighter division with more than 180 fighter jets, only 28 flew back. This was the most serious disaster in the history of the Transcaucasus Military Region Air Force.

A disastrous defeat.

How to explain to the Air Force General Headquarters first, how to explain to the commander of the military region, General Kulykin, no matter how big a mistake Colonel Longganovsky of the 1st Fighter Division made, or how his command failed, as the commander of the military region’s air force, he

, can't be separated from it. When he thought of this, Admiral Konev's head began to hurt so much that he almost fainted from the pain.

A staff officer beside him, with quick eyes and quick hands, supported the swaying comrade commander. Admiral Konev thought for a while with dull eyes, and said feebly: "Order, the reinforcement fleet returns, wait for that Zyuganovsky

After landing, bring it to me immediately!"

It was not that General Konev had not thought about it, he ordered the three fighter divisions to take advantage of the opportunity for the ** division's aviation force to return after being exhausted from long battles and having used up all their fuel and ammunition.

, maybe, it will save a little face for today's fiasco.

However, General Konev did not dare to take this risk. He did not believe that Liu Cuigang, known as the hero of the ** Division's aviation force, left no backup plan and all the fighter jets rushed out. If this person's mind is so simple, then

We will not defeat the Kwantung Army aviation troops in Manchuria, China, and earn the nickname "Manchuria Air Killer". If the sudden withdrawal of Liu Cuigang's fleet turns out to be a bigger trap, it will cost all the assets of the military air force.

.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the 1st Fighter Division, which had no chance of survival, managed to escape with twenty-eight fighter jets. For safety reasons, General Konev had no choice but to order the reinforcement fleet to return. Fortunately, he still had three fighter jets in his hand.

Division, I still have capital for the battle with Liu Cuigang. The next thing I have to do is how to explain to all parties the reason for today's tragic defeat in the air battle. That division, Colonel Longganovsky, is a key figure!

A thrilling air battle lasted for more than an hour and finally ended. The sky over the Selenge River returned to calm. If it weren't for the Soviet army on the north bank and the Outer Mongolian border guards on the south bank, hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides would have witnessed it.

After witnessing this air battle in which hundreds of aircraft were buried, perhaps, one would think that the sky would always be this clear.

This air battle had a profound impact on the morale of the Soviet soldiers and the soldiers of the Outer Mongolia Border Guards. The Soviet soldiers saw the disastrous defeat of their own air force in Seleng and the north bank of the river. The aircraft dragged thick smoke and

The flames fell to the ground, exploded into a fireball, or exploded into pieces in the air. The planes were all painted with red five-stars on the fuselage, which was the symbol of the Soviet Air Force, and they crashed in front of us.

The blow to the Soviet soldiers was profound and heavy. The exciting words spoken by political commissars at all levels and the encouragement of confidence in victory gave rise to doubts. Moreover, this doubt, like a plague, spread among ordinary soldiers.

It grows in the heart, and at a critical moment, it will become a fatal danger.

The most inspired ones were the soldiers of the Outer Mongolia Border Guards. At first, when the air battle began, each unit strictly followed the orders of the commander, Major General Sun Zhenbang, and hid in underground shelters or gun-proof caves, waiting uneasily.

The Soviet bombers' heavy bombs fell from the sky. Once again, they endured torture many times more violent than the shelling, and felt the fear of the earth shaking.

After a long time, I heard the constant sound of machine guns in the sky, the roar of planes passing by at low altitude, and occasionally a dull loud noise. But it was on the north bank that some smart commanders boldly followed

bombhole or shelter

I got out of the house and looked at the sky with my telescope. I didn’t think it was a big deal. I was so happy that I couldn’t stop laughing. No wonder the sky was so lively. It turned out to be my own fighter jets, beating the Soviet bombers so hard that they screamed happily.

, relieve qi.

One person went out to observe, but did not come back for a long time, and the second one followed him out and never came back. In less than half an hour, almost all the officers and soldiers in the forward positions ran out of their hiding places, scrambling to watch the rare sight.

In the air battle scene, the troops who had retreated to the Rock Mountain came out unabashedly and stood in the open space, craning their necks to watch.

Sun Zhenbang's command post is located in a high position with a wide field of vision. From the observation hole, you can see the air combat in the distance. Sun Zhenbang held up the telescope and watched with gusto. From time to time, he slapped the wall of the shelter and shouted.

"Okay, good fight! Look, another Soviet bomber has been blown up!"

Later, Sun Zhenbang inadvertently adjusted the angle of his telescope. What he saw made him angry. On his forward position, dark heads could be seen everywhere, all pointing in the same direction. It turned out that the officers and soldiers of the forward troops

, all came out to watch the fun.

Sun Zhenbang originally wanted to issue an order prohibiting the frontline troops from leaving their shelters and bomb shelters. If the Soviet artillery suddenly attacked at this time, wouldn't they all be ruined in this scene? But then he thought about it, and there was a lively fighting in the sky.

, the Soviet aircraft fleet is obviously at a disadvantage. At this stage, unless the Soviet commander is mentally ill, he is not afraid of exposing the artillery position and attracting bombing and strafing from the ** division's aircraft.

I didn’t want to dampen the interest of the soldiers. Besides, this was also a rare opportunity to boost morale. Therefore, Sun Zhenbang’s order became this: “The troops at the frontier, in platoon units, take turns to observe the movements of the Soviet troops on the other side.

Movements, all of them must not be allowed to leave the shelter and the bombhole."

The four brigade commanders who received the order were all happy. The commander's order was interesting. Observe the movements of the Soviet troops on the other side. Didn't you see that those old Maozi soldiers were better hidden than us, and those tanks and armored vehicles were showing their claws?

, we have been hiding for a long time. Why, the sky is full of our planes, aren’t we afraid of being discovered and attracting bombs?

However, commanders at all levels still strictly implemented Sun Zhenbang's orders, and the troops came to the surface positions in an orderly manner. Starting from four o'clock in the morning, by noon, the soldiers of the Outer Mongolia Border Guards finally did not have to worry about Soviet artillery fire.

, appears in the sun.

In the headquarters, Sun Zhenbang, who was enjoying himself very much, received this air-to-ground call, "Old Sun, this is Liu Cuigang. Behind my fighter group are two bomber regiments. We will arrive at Sezhou in fifteen minutes."

Above the Lenge River, please indicate the bombing target!"
