Age of Conquest Reborn

"Liu Cuigang!" Sun Zhenbang was stunned, and then he was ecstatic. It turned out that it was Liu Cuigang who personally went into battle to direct this air battle. No wonder it was so lively. Bombing the target? The biggest threat to his troops was the Soviet artillery.

Don't expect to kill all the Soviet artillery. If you can kill half of them, the pressure on the frontline troops will be reduced a lot.

Sun Zhenbang shouted loudly: "Cui Gang, I am Sun Zhenbang. You are here in time. Kill Lao Maozi's artillery for me. I will send you the location of the Soviet artillery position immediately!"

During the artillery battle in the morning, the location of the Soviet artillery positions had been basically exposed. Sun Zhenbang made a phone call to the artillery brigade. Soon, various data were transmitted to the bomber formation commander.

Ten minutes later, two bomber regiments of the Northern Flying Group and a formation of more than 120 bombers flew "rumblingly" over the Selenga River. At this time, the 1st Fighter Division of the Air Force of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region

The fighter group commanded by the division's Colonel Longganovsky had been overwhelmed by the fighter jets commanded by Liu Cuigang. He watched helplessly as the bombers of the ** division formed a neat formation and fought on the battlefield from the air as if no one was watching.

Pass below.

Soviet fighter pilots, let alone being intercepted by avatars, were lucky enough to be able to save their own fighter jets from being shot down by the pursuing Soviet fighter jets.

A few minutes later, on the north bank of the Selenge River, behind the Soviet army, pieces of purple-red clouds began to rise, and dull explosions came one after another. Sun Zhenbang was so happy that he clapped his thighs and shouted repeatedly

: "Well done! Kill the Soviet artillery. We will keep an eye on the south bank for five or six days. It won't be a problem. Liu Cuigang came and really solved a big problem for us!"

Without the harassment of Soviet fighter jets, the ** Division bombers bombed the Soviet artillery positions with great ease. Although the Soviet ground anti-aircraft firepower was several times more than that of the Japanese army, it could be evenly distributed and used for artillery.

The density of air defense firepower in the position dropped immediately, and a fighter regiment left behind by Meng Qingpeng was specifically responsible for clearing the Soviet ground air defense artillery fire, causing great damage to the Soviet air defense firepower points.

Thirty minutes later, before Liu Cuigang gave the order for the fighter group to withdraw from the battlefield, the bomber formation had completed the bombing of the Soviet artillery positions and returned successfully. Although it was only a thirty-minute bombing, it gave the Soviet artillery positions

, causing great damage, but the bomber formation only paid the price of two bombers being shot down and five being damaged. More than a thousand heavy aerial bombs dropped, destroying the Soviet artillery positions.

hole.

General Kulykin's face turned pale after he put down the call to General Konev. The well-planned first attack not only failed to gain any advantage, but also included two pilots. Now, the artillery position is under attack again.

Bombs, are Konev's air force just a bunch of losers? Let the fighter jets and bombers of the Japanese Army take advantage in the sky and then take advantage on the ground.

General Kulykin just didn't understand. Konev had four fighter divisions and more than 600 fighter planes. How could he let the fighters and bombers of the Japanese division carry out such unscrupulous bombings? The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

Ordered the staff around him: "Call me to the Military Region Air Force Headquarters immediately!"

At this time, General Kulykin, who was standing outside the tent, saw a Soviet bomber swooping over from a distance. Under the belly of the aircraft, two small black dots dropped, with a harsh scream, and headed towards

Falling in the direction where he was, at this moment, General Kurekin, who had experienced hundreds of battles, felt that the god of death was so close to him!

Several guards of Comrade Commander rushed in front of him and threw him down on the grass. "Boom! Boom!" The bomb exploded not far from the tent of General Kulykin's temporary headquarters, with two loud blasts.

With a loud noise, diffuse smoke rose up, stirring up two thick pillars of soil. The shock wave and air wave lifted the tent into the air like tearing a piece of paper. Then, it was cut into countless pieces by shrapnel flying in all directions.

Son.

The mud fell, hitting General Kulykin all over his head and face. When other staff officers came over and pulled him up from the ground, there were several bright red blood stains on the comrade commander's body. He smelled

Lieutenant General Zernenko, the chief of staff of the military region who arrived after hearing the news, heard a "bang" in his head and secretly cried out in his heart, "It's bad, the commander is injured!"

When they got closer and inquired carefully, it turned out that it was a false alarm. The blood on the commander's body came from the guards who were covering him. Two of the guards were killed on the spot, with shrapnel with irregular edges embedded in their bodies, and the bright red blood.

The outflow of "gugu"

Come on, the other three guards were also seriously injured, and the bodies of several staff officers were lying in a mess in the original tent. If there were no guards as human shields, these shrapnel would have been inserted into the command center for more than 20 people.

Comrade Commander of Ten Thousand Troops.

Lieutenant General Zernenko was frightened for a while. The top leader of the army was almost killed by a bomb. He could not stay in this place no matter what. He hurriedly said: "Comrade Commander, it is too dangerous here. We should move immediately."

Get to safety!"

General Kulykin's face was livid. He looked at the group of bombers of the US Army that had begun to return, and roared angrily: "Safe zone? The sky is full of fighter jets and bombers of the US Army. Is there still a safe zone now? That department

Nev is really incompetent, get through to him immediately!"

The location of the headquarters was in a mess. There were two huge craters with lingering smoke still rising. Bodies were lying on the ground, and the blood was dazzling. The phone was unusable. General Kulykin dictated, "Order, the military air force will attack at all costs."

** Division aircraft group! Regain air superiority in the attack area!"

Now, General Kurekin, who was completely enraged, wanted to shoot down all the planes of the Japanese Army. The life of a commander who commanded more than 200,000 troops was actually threatened like this. Even if he chased all the way to Cullen, he would still have to fight.

Teach the Chinese a lesson!

Soon, General Konev's reply came, but General Kulykin was furious, "Comrade Commander, in view of the air combat situation, the entire army of the 3rd Bomber Division of the Air Force of the Don River Military Region was wiped out, and the 1st Fighter Division of the Air Force of our Military Region was destroyed.

As a matter of fact, the air battle has ended and there is no point in pursuing the returning ** fighter fleet. Therefore, I have ordered the three reinforced fighter divisions to return to their respective airports!"

This was the reply of his subordinates, "Bastard!" General Kulykin cursed angrily. He held his breath in his heart and had nowhere to vent. The air battle was over, the sky had returned to calm, and the Chinese who had taken advantage of it, that's it.

He walked away in a swagger, leaving behind a position that had been bombarded. All of this was caused by Konev's incompetent command. In General Kulykin's heart, General Konev had been listed as a target for elimination.

Looking at his watch, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. General Kulykin said to the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Zernenko: "Order the troops to prepare immediately. In an hour, the second attack will be launched. It must be before dark.

, seizing the position of the ** Division’s defense force, a river, should not stop the footsteps of our Soviet Red Army!”

Chief of Staff Zirnenko looked troubled and said: "Commander, I'm afraid it's not possible. I just received a report from the artillery unit. During the bombing just now, the artillery unit's position was severely damaged and the losses were considerable.

We were busy rescuing the wounded and repairing our positions, but within an hour we were unable to provide artillery support."

"Furthermore, from the blockage of the first attack to the bombing by the ** division's bombers, plus the annihilation of one of our bomber divisions and the devastating blow to one of our fighter divisions, the morale of the troops has dropped to the lowest point.

Besides, it is already getting late, which is not a good time to attack. Therefore, Comrade Commander, I suggest that our army stop attacking today and make a decision after working out a more appropriate method!"

General Kulykin knew that what Lieutenant General Zernenko said was very reasonable. The troops were thwarted in their first attack and were bombarded indiscriminately by ** bombers. Especially in an air battle, the soldiers all saw it.

, morale must have been severely damaged. To put it bluntly, he was like a defeated rooster. How could such a soldier be dragged into a fight? His mind was too extreme.

General Kulykin sighed and said: "Comrade Zernenko, your reminder is very timely. Well, the order is cancelled. The troops rest for one night and issue an order to the political commissars at all levels to go deep among the soldiers."

, To do ideological work, we must restore the morale of the troops as soon as possible. At eight o'clock in the evening, we will hold a meeting of commanders above the regiment level. I am a little tired. You will be responsible for the orders and meetings!"

General Kulykin left with a few guards. Looking at his somewhat forlorn back, Chief of Staff Zernenko suddenly had a bad feeling. The ambitious commander commanded four mechanized infantry divisions.

A tank brigade, four artillery divisions and two armored brigades marched southward, originally determined to capture Kulun and regain Outer Mongolia.

However, the battle situation was unpredictable, and the first battle suffered a heavy setback. The losses to the troops were not large, but the blow to the commander's confidence was huge. Tang Qiuli, the military commander in Outer Mongolia, was a difficult opponent.

What would the situation be like if a Chinese person came to the battlefield in Outer Mongolia and commanded the ** division troops in combat?

What will happen to the famous Red Army generals such as Zhukov? Could it be that the Transcaucasus Military District and Commander Kulykin will repeat the mistakes of the first Outer Mongolia War? Suddenly, Chief of Staff Zernenko has no idea about the prospects of this war.

Be optimistic.

General Kulykin, who returned to the tent, did not rest, nor could he rest peacefully. In his mind, he kept recalling the situation of today's ground and air battles. His tactics and command were correct. The ** Division's aviation group

The appearance of the incident should be an unexpected factor, but General Konev, commander of the military region’s air force, has an unshirkable responsibility.
