Age of Conquest Reborn

Colonel Dong Ningxuan, chief of staff of the Northern Flying Group, was somewhat puzzled by Le Yiqin's words. The combat meeting, as the name suggests, was about fighting. The commanders of the combat forces participated normally, so why was the logistics department involved?

However, due to the fact that He Le Yiqin was not familiar with him and was the commander of another unit, in charge of his own unit, it seemed disrespectful to question him rashly, so he just endured it and didn't ask. How clever Ke Le Yiqin is, he can tell her at a glance.

I saw Dong Ningxuan's doubts.

Le Yiqin smiled and said: "Chief of Staff Dong, you must not understand that I asked the chief and deputy heads of the logistics department to participate in the combat meeting, right?"

Seeing the new commander asking, Dong Ningxuan also nodded honestly, and Le Yiqin said with some pride: "It's very simple, the two flying groups of the South and the North have fighter jets and bombers combined, I'm afraid there are 1,890 aircraft.

The pressure on the logistics department has more than doubled, and Southern Flight Group

Combat aircraft are adapted to the subtropical climate. When we arrived in Outer Mongolia, the wind was biting and it was likely to snow in a few days. The temperature dropped sharply and the logistics support required a lot of work.

It’s not as easy as the combat troops. I got vaccinated in advance so that I won’t be in a hurry when the time comes!”

Dong Ningxuan suddenly realized and looked at Le Yiqin with admiration. He had not considered these details. Just the replacement of lubricants for various parts of combat aircraft, refueling and replenishing ammunition and other routine operations, the ground staff at various airports had to be busy.

overnight.

Dong Ningxuan said: "Commander, I will issue an order in advance to the ground handling departments of each airport. As soon as a batch of Southern Flying Group's fighter planes land, we will immediately support a batch of them. Otherwise, things will be delayed tomorrow!" He was about to make a phone call.

.

Le Yiqin nodded and agreed to his arrangement. After Dong Ningxuan's figure disappeared into the house, the smile on Le Yiqin's face faded and was replaced by a thicker one.

There is another thing that Le Yiqin did not mention to Dong Ningxuan. According to reports from various ground radar stations in the Outer Mongolia cruising area, the Outer Mongolia border is close to the Soviet side. Starting from this morning, Soviet planes landed unusually frequently in Ulan-Ude.

, Irkutsk, Chita, Barnur and other Soviet field airports, the landing groups of Soviet aircraft were very dense. By about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, a total of four groups of Soviet aircraft were detected landing.

According to statistics from radar stations in various places, nearly a thousand Soviet combat aircraft arrived at Soviet border airports throughout the whole day on September 25. If this number is estimated, it would be the size of five Soviet fighter divisions. After

After confirmation, two of them were bomber divisions.

Le Yiqin's heart was not as relaxed as it seemed. The comprehensive radar station reported a few days ago that the number of Soviet fighter jets had reached five divisions. This did not include the one and a half fighter divisions of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region Air Force.

In total, the Southern Flying Group will face more than 1,200 Soviet fighter jets.

The twelve fighter groups of the Southern Flying Group, plus the remaining five fighter groups of the Northern Flying Group, have nearly 1,160 fighter jets. They do not have an advantage in terms of the number of fighter jets. How can this battle be fought?

Fighting, Le Yiqin took a lot of thinking, but one thing he knew clearly was that tomorrow, in the airspace of the Selenge River, it would be a head-to-head battle. Liu Hongzhang's troops relied entirely on his own air fire support.

"Ding ding ding," the phone on the table rang, and Le Yiqin took the phone, "I'm Le Yiqin, who are you?"

Liu Cuigang's voice came from the phone, "Old man, this is Cuigang. After you and the division commander left, I reviewed the situation of several air battles over and over again. I have some opinions. I don't know if they will be useful to you. If

If you have time, come to the hospital and let’s talk in detail face to face!”

Le Yiqin's heart moved. When it came to the experience of fighting against the Soviet Air Force, Liu Cuigang had much more experience than him. If the old man invited him at this time, he must have something important to discuss. Thinking of this, Le Yiqin could no longer sit still.

He ordered Dong Ningxuan, who had just returned, to stay behind and drove the military jeep to the field hospital like the wind.

When we met again a few hours later, Liu Cuigang's mental state had returned to a better state, with a trace of color on his face. He was leaning on the pillow, waiting for him.

As soon as they met, Liu Cuigang got straight to the point and said: "Yiqin, when I commanded the troops to enter Outer Mongolia, I fought several big battles with the Soviet Air Force and summed up some ideas. The Soviet air combat tactics were relatively rigid, and the pilots'

The level is good, but the combat will is far inferior to ours. The firepower, performance, speed, climb speed, and maximum ceiling of the Soviet fighter jets are not outstanding."

"But the most important point is that the protective performance of Soviet fighter jets is very superior. The built-in steel plate structure can effectively protect the safety of the pilot and important parts of the aircraft, such as fuel tanks. Even if it is hit by a few machine gun bullets, it will not affect the safety of the aircraft.

Combat performance, in other words, is tough and tough. On the other hand, our fighter jets have Japanese, German, and Soviet roots."

"In a single-aircraft battle, one or two bullets for our fighter jets could be fatal. This is the reason why we suffered losses in the two subsequent air battles. Therefore, I have an idea whether the ammunition carried by our fighter jets can be replaced with

As long as one hit of a high-explosive armor-piercing round can blow a big hole in the fuselage of a Soviet fighter jet, I remember hearing Wang Xu, director of the Military Industry Bureau, say that our Dingbian Arsenal has this kind of ammunition, but it’s just that

It is not generally equipped to front-line troops."

"Another point is that if the Soviet army wants to break through the defense line of the Selenga River, it will inevitably dispatch a large number of bombers. This is the destiny of the Soviet people. You are a master in fighting such a battle. I won't say more. Japan Airlines

Didn’t the team give you the nickname Sky Butcher?”

Le Yiqin immediately stood up, held Liu Cuigang's right hand tightly, and said: "Cui Gang, your suggestion has relieved the pressure on my heart. To be honest, facing the huge Soviet fighter group, although I feel necessary

We are sure of victory, but we are also prepared to cripple the troops. Now, it’s okay. Our thick skin and thick flesh can’t stand up to our powerful bullets. Kill Lao Maozi’s bomber group. What’s left is a battle of fighter jets. Cuigang, you

Rest, I’ll go find the teacher right away!”

After saying that, he walked away like a gust of wind. Liu Cuigang smiled, watching his brother go away, and thought to himself: "It hasn't changed at all, he still has the same quick and fiery temper!"

Le Yiqin drove straight to the campaign headquarters. After meeting the division commander Tang Qiuli, she directly put forward her request. Tang Qiuli agreed without hesitation and gave it to the deputy director of the division's logistics department and the logistics department of the Outer Mongolia Campaign Command.

Minister Zhou Yushan and Wang Xu, director of the Special Equipment Research Institute and director of the Dingbian Military Industry Bureau, sent a telegram, ordering the two of them to work together to meet the combat needs of the aviation unit between tonight and three o'clock tomorrow morning.

After Le Yiqin returned to the Kulun Air Command, he ordered three transport aircraft groups to take off immediately and rush to Dingbian. He also coordinated with the Dingbian Aviation School and the Dingbian Air Defense Command and dispatched two more transport aircraft groups to various field airports in Outer Mongolia overnight.

, transport ammunition and ensure the needs of the troops for tomorrow's battle.

As a result, on the grasslands of Outer Mongolia, where night had fallen, the various field airfields of the independent division aviation began to be busy again. Transport planes took off one after another and flew towards Dingbian. At Saiyin Shanda, they received the order from the division commander.

Zhou Yushan, who was in Dingbian, Wang Xu, who received the order from the division commander, was immediately busy on all fours.

After a busy and tense night, the dawn of September 26th in Outer Mongolia arrived as scheduled. That night, Le Yiqin had no intention of resting until she received orders from each fighter regiment, ammunition had been replaced, and all guarantees had been implemented.

After the report, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Also staying up all night like Le Yiqin were the ground handling departments of various field airports of the aviation force, as well as various radar stations. Dozens of radar antennas were slowly rotating in the dawn light, transmitting beams of radio waves invisible to the naked eye.

, shot into the air, placing all Soviet field airports in the Soviet Union and around Lake Baikal under surveillance.

Rubbing his sore eyes, Le Yiqin arranged his tactics and filtered them through his mind again. This tactic was studied by everyone at the military meeting last night. It is simple to say, and it can be used against the Japanese army in Indochina.

When the aviation teams fought against each other, the Southern Flying Group used it frequently.

Taking advantage of the ground radar, all participating fighter groups were divided into two parts. More than half of the force was responsible for diverting the Soviet escort fighter group, and a small part of the force was responsible for attacking the Soviet bomber group. Then, the two formations

Rendezvous and attack the Soviet fighter group again.

The key to the implementation of this combat plan is that Le Yiqin's aircraft fleet must find out the heading of the Soviet fighter group and bomber group in advance. The aircraft fleet penetrates deep into the Lake Baikal area and leads the battlefield away from the Selenga River airspace. In other words,

When the Soviet fleet was halfway to the bombing target, Le Yiqin's fleet attacked, disrupting the Soviet army's rhythm and deployment, and taking a preemptive strike, which can also be regarded as another form of ambush!

If the Soviet escort fighter group does not take the bait, it will continue to attack. From the Lake Baikal area to the Selenga River battlefield, it is a full seven or eight hundred kilometers. It is strange that the Soviet air formation can withstand the aerial harassment along the way.

, this style of play will test the endurance of the fighter jets. An independent division aircraft group with additional auxiliary fuel tanks is enough to cope with long-term airborne operations.

Of course, Le Yiqin also had a backup plan. If the Soviet escort fighter group came out in full force, entangled his attack aircraft group, and allowed the bomber group to continue flying to the intended target, the three fighter regiments as the reserve team would be

Ambush them in the airspace north of the Lenge River is easier said than done. However, with the surveillance of ground radar stations, all problems have been solved.

At about three o'clock in the morning on September 26, there was still a busy and tense atmosphere in the Koulun airspace of the independent division aviation. Staff officers came in and out from time to time. On various field airfields in Outer Mongolia, fighter jets were waiting quietly.

On the runway.

At about four o'clock in the morning, a red phone inside Kongzhi rang rapidly.
