Age of Conquest Reborn

"It's expected! The Soviet army couldn't stand it and had to withdraw. Otherwise, they would have to fight the tanks with their flesh and blood. The Soviets are not that stupid!" Tang Qiuli said lightly after receiving the report.

With three tank brigades and more than a thousand tanks, they attacked the temporary Soviet field fortifications. Moreover, without the threat of artillery fire, if the battle turned into a tepid battle and was blocked by the Soviet infantry, Battelle would be in the European battlefield.

Go on, several years of fighting have been wasted.

However, Zhao Yuhe's next report made Tang Qiuli nervous, "Division commander, Cullen's ground air commander reported that the fighter group commanded by Commander Le is in a fierce battle with the Soviet aircraft group. There are about 460

A Soviet fleet consisting of more than two hundred bombers and more than two hundred fighter jets is rapidly approaching the battlefield! In about twenty minutes, we can attack our ground troops!"

Tang Qiuli's fists clenched. The infantry of the assault groups on the left and right wings were already engaging the Soviet troops at close range. The distance between the two positions was less than two kilometers. The Soviet bombers did not dare to drop bombs, so there was no need to worry.

, not to mention, there are thousands of anti-aircraft firepower groups composed of light and heavy machine guns and anti-tank guns, and the Soviet bomber group does not dare to dive bomb.

However, Battelle's tank group was attacking in a frontal area of ​​dozens of kilometers wide and had not yet attacked the Soviet second line of defense. The tanks exposed in the wilderness were the best targets for bombers. The Soviet air formation command

The officer must have seen this, didn't take it into consideration, and would attack with all his strength!

It would be great if Le Yiqin's fighter group was there. Even if it was two groups, he wouldn't have to worry so much. But Tang Qiuli knew that Le Yiqin's fighter group was fighting bloody battles and could not be separated. If possible, with

Le Yiqin's temper would never let go of a Soviet plane!

Tang Qiuli unclenched his fist, narrowed his eyes, and said in a calm tone: "Order, directly under the Corps Air Defense Brigade, Cullen Air Defense Brigade, Saiyinshanda Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment, attack the Soviet bomber group, and be sure to protect the air safety of the armored group. Order

, Battelle speeds up the assault and drives the Soviet army to the north!"

The battle began. In just over 20 minutes, General Kulykin experienced the torment of great joy and great sorrow. He learned that the headquarters had sent more than 2,000 combat aircraft to cover his troops' breakout and protect them from the entire army.

The fate of annihilation. It can be seen from this that the troops of the Transcaucasus Military Region occupy a very important position in Comrade Stalin's mind. Otherwise, they would not have spent such a large sum of money. This is a joy.

He was surprised by the sudden appearance of more than a thousand independent division tanks. The battle lasted for two or three days, and was fought between infantry and artillery. Why did so many tanks appear?

General Kulykin knew that the so-called fortifications built by his troops were nothing more than temporary trenches. They could block the firing of infantry weapons, but they could not block the bombardment of artillery shells, let alone the assault of tanks. "That insidious and cunning Chinese

Man, how many trump cards do you still have that haven’t been revealed?" He lamented in his heart.

Tang Qiuli's endless methods and irregular attack methods not only made General Kurekin tired of dealing with it, but also frightened him. When he learned that the fleet coming to rescue was intercepted by the independent division aviation in the outer airspace of the battlefield,

Ling was shocked, thinking that the previous scene was happening again. When he saw his fleet flying over the battlefield, he was overjoyed.

An order was immediately issued, and the troops immediately began to withdraw north. In fact, on the current ground battlefield, General Kulykin's order was somewhat redundant. For the frontal offensive troops, Battelle's three tank brigades were in the lead, and three brigades of infantry from the directly affiliated corps were accompanying the attack.

The Soviet troops had been forced to retreat step by step. The troops at the front were defeated, and the troops behind them were unable to stand firm. The entire Transcaucasus Military District, with more than 100,000 troops, began a disorderly retreat.

Lieutenant General Jonasov, who commanded all air forces on the battlefield in Outer Mongolia, led a mixed fleet of bombers and fighter jets and flew over the battlefield. He immediately saw the crux of the problem. On the ground, more than a thousand vehicles from the independent division attacked at high speed.

The advancing tanks raised dust and blocked the sky. This was the biggest threat to Kulykin's troops. The two legs of the infantry could not outrun the tracks of the tanks.

Let the independent division's armored group pursue. By the time they reached the south bank of the Selenge River, there were not many troops left in the Transcaucasus Military Region. "The bomber formation was ordered to immediately begin bombing the independent division's armored group, fighter formations, and strikes."

Ground fire points of the Independent Division troops! At the same time, pay attention to attacking the Infantry of the Independent Division," Lieutenant General Jonasov ordered.

Lieutenant General Jonasov did not pay too much attention to the bomber formation attacking the tank column of the independent division. This was a battle with basically no suspense. Bombers were the nemesis of tanks. Heavy aerial bombs could do nothing to infantry weapons.

Poor tanks can easily explode into pieces and turn into piles of scrap metal.

The Soviet bomber formations formed into several echelons and began to enter the bombing channel one by one. At this moment, sparks, clouds of blue smoke, and countless anti-aircraft shells suddenly exploded on the ground, roaring straight into the sky, weaving in the sky.

It forms an airtight fire net.

After receiving the order from the division commander, the air defense troops had been holding back and waiting in full formation. There was a lively fight in the front, with the sound of guns and tanks and the roar of tank motors. The anti-aircraft artillery soldiers felt itchy in their hearts and widened their eyes.

Staring at the blue sky, I wished that the Soviet combat planes would appear soon.

The mixed Soviet aircraft group finally appeared in the field of vision. The anti-aircraft artillery group equipped with "Sky Eye" artillery sighting radar had already locked on their respective targets on the radar. With the command of the anti-aircraft artillery group commander, the anti-aircraft artillery group fired like a bolide.

The anti-aircraft shells accurately found the target. The first group of Soviet bombers dived into the fire net. The incident happened so suddenly that they had no time to change their course.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The anti-aircraft artillery shells exploded at a fixed distance, exploding into black clouds of smoke, scattering thousands of whistling metal fragments into the sky and crashing into the fire net.

The Soviet bombers either exploded into pieces in the air, or were covered in smoke and fire, whining and crashing to the ground. More than a hundred Soviet bombers disappeared in the sky.

"Ground anti-aircraft fire!" Lieutenant General Jonasov exclaimed, "Attention, all bomber formations, immediately climb to altitude, avoid ground anti-aircraft fire, escort the fighter group, and immediately destroy the independent division's anti-aircraft firepower!" he issued the order.

The Soviet fighter group, relying on their speed and flexibility, rushed towards the anti-aircraft artillery position of the independent division's air defense force. However, there was no need to please. The anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy machine guns sprayed out strings of hot metal jets, blasting them with thousands of

Tens of thousands of bullets formed a dense low-altitude firepower network, forcing the Soviet fighter jets to dare not enter the diving and strafing position, and quickly climbed up desperately to avoid the deadly bullets that were as dense as locusts.

Not only that, those Soviet fighter pilots whose hands and feet were not very agile, whose reactions were slow, or who were eager to make meritorious service, saw a series of bullets coming towards them. They had no time to avoid, and the fighter jets were smashed into sieves by the rain of bullets.

During the fight, dozens of Soviet fighter jets were licked into the air defense force's fire net!

In the first round, the Soviet bomber group failed to throw a single bomb into Battelle's armored cluster. The Soviet bomber group's routine evasive actions failed to escape the tracking of the "Sky Eye" artillery sighting radar. Each anti-aircraft gun

Bullet, with eyes

As if, it was chasing the Soviet bombers, and another burst of bomber wreckage exploded in the sky. At the same time, it sent the Soviet fighter jets flying all over the sky, let alone strafing, and the anti-aircraft guns themselves were not going crazy.

If the bullet hits, it is considered lucky!

"Bombing cannot be carried out!" This is Lieutenant General Jonasov's painful conclusion. It is not that he has never seen ground anti-aircraft artillery. As the deputy commander of the Air Force of the Don River Military Region, he does not know how many air-ground confrontation exercises will be carried out every year.

Secondly, the relationship between ground anti-aircraft firepower and aircraft is that of a spear and a shield. In most cases, the spear is sharper.

But what happened today? The intensity of the independent division's anti-aircraft fire was within the range here, but its accuracy was so shocking that it could even hit a flexible fighter jet directly. If the fire continued,

, I am afraid that if I blow up a tank of the Independent Division Armored Force, I will have to use several combat aircraft to replace it!

This is a losing deal and cannot be fought anymore. Fortunately, Kulykin's troops have already begun to retreat. Even if their mission is completed, "Attention mixed formation, stop bombing immediately, bomber formation returns, and fighter group joins the air battle battlefield."

!”

"Commander, the Soviet mixed fleet was beaten away by our air defense forces!" Deputy Chief of Staff Wang Jun shouted excitedly.

All the officers in the division headquarters breathed a long sigh of relief. The threat from the air had been eliminated. The battle on the ground would be fought according to the division commander's intention. The rhythm of the battlefield was controlled by the division commander.

Tang Qiuli was a little nervous, relaxed, and said: "Chief of Staff Wang, order the troops to attack the group from the front, hold on to the Soviet army, attack the group from two wings, and start flanking, making every step of the Soviet army

, leaving hundreds of corpses behind! During their retreat, try to consume as much of the Soviet army’s vitality as possible!”

This style of play is exactly the same as Liu Tiehan's East Command troops, chasing the retreating Soviet Far East Front troops. Constant bloodletting, from Hagengaol, Baiyinchagan battlefield, to the south bank of the Selenge River, hundreds of kilometers away

On the way, pick up at the directly affiliated corps

Under continuous blows, no one can judge how many troops of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region, which are eager to retreat, will have to be filled in. Moreover, Yang Ketian's three mechanized brigades, a cavalry brigade, and a tank brigade are waiting.

Follow them!

The battle on the ground was proceeding according to Tang Qiuli's plan, and everything was going smoothly, but his heart was worried about the other battlefield, and that was what he was most worried about!
