Age of Conquest Reborn

The degree of air combat between the independent division's aviation force and the Soviet fighter group, from the battlefields of Hagengaol and Baiyinchagan to the airspace on the south bank of the Selenge River, proved that Tang Qiuli's worries were not unnecessary. It was a disparity in power.

, a tough battle that cannot be won by tricks.

Le Yiqin and his fighter pilots were all stunned. Facing waves of Soviet fighter jets that seemed to be inexhaustible, they only had the instinct to fight. More than two thousand fighter jets from both sides filled the sky.

Howling and flying up and down, chasing each other, shooting fiercely, gritting their teeth to kill each other, leaving behind a string of pale white smoke, the fireball of the aircraft explosion almost turned the sky red.

The pressure faced by the Le Yiqin fleet was not only the numerical advantage of the Soviet fighter jets, but also Lieutenant General Jonasov, the air force commander of the Outer Mongolia Campaign and the deputy commander of the Soviet Don River Military District Air Force.

The experience and lessons learned after two battles.

"Never disperse, tightly maintain the air tactical formation, not be tempted by the Chinese tricks, and always form a numerical advantage! Fight with independent division fighters, use the numerical advantage of our troops, consume the independent division aviation force

Cost," this is what Lieutenant General Jonasov warned his fighter division commanders at the combat meeting before takeoff.

Therefore, Le Yiqin's fleet is always fighting against Soviet fighter jets that exceed its own number. On the other hand, division commander Tang Qiuli ordered that the air safety of Yang Ketian's troops deployed on the south bank of the Selenge River must be ensured. According to Le Yiqin's order

I understand that the purpose of the division commander's order is to prevent Yang Ketian's bottom-hunting troops from being discovered by the Soviet fighter group.

In order to achieve this, Le Yiqin must also control the air combat battlefield to the south of the Selenge River. In order to prevent Yang Ketian's troops from exposing their targets, all the strategies and strategies have basically lost their use. The rest,

It is a battle of skills and tactics, courage and wisdom between fighter pilots. Both sides fight fiercely, are not afraid of death, and dare to look at each other and shoot at each other. Therefore, this air battle is relatively difficult.

.

Le Yiqin himself has shot down five Soviet fighter jets, and his wingman has also replaced three. He saw how fierce the air battle was. In comparison, the number of Soviet fighter jets lost was more than that of the independent division.

Regarding aviation, in terms of actual combat experience, Soviet fighter pilots are not bad at all.

From the day the independent division aviation force was formed, there was no day that was not spent in air battles. Fighting from North China to Indochina, especially Le Yiqin's Southern Flying Group, successively fought with the Japanese Army and Navy Air Force and the British Air Force in India.

Almost all pilots have grown up in air battles. Fighting has become their entire life. There are two five-pointed stars painted on the fuselage of the fighter planes, which cannot be compared with shooting down the enemy.

Machine number hero list.

Facing such an opponent, the Soviet fighter pilots gradually became weak and lost their courage. This is also true. Who is willing to fight with a group of pilots who are like desperadoes? Sometimes, the Soviet fighter pilots simply cannot believe it.

With his own eyes, the fighter pilots of the independent division dared to attack the fighters of his own squadron in a two-plane formation. Moreover, they took the initiative to attack and fought to death!

Evenly matched battles often rely on courage and morale. The Soviet fighter pilots were unwilling to fight tooth and nail, but they could not stop the independent division fighter pilots from fighting tooth and nail. The momentum on the battlefield was very subtly tilted towards the independent division aviation group.

From Le Yiqin's earphones, the pilots were constantly shouting, "103, don't be sticky, catch up and kill that bastard!" "524, cover me, that old Maozi's fighter jet just hit me.

Shuangzi, if you don't kill him, I'll feel useless!" "Third Brigade, drive the Soviet fighter group on your left wing over here! I'm going to kill them!" I heard it, and it was Colonel Yu Guoan, the commander of the 11th Fighter Regiment.

movement.

It was like a pot was boiling in the earphones. The shouts of the pilots, accompanied by the sound of machine gun shooting and the roar of fighter planes, flooded into Le Yiqin's ears like a tide. Le Yiqin also laughed along with it.

, he appreciates this kind of passion for fighting, and he knows that his pilots, often at this time, are fighting in the alley, and to use a cultural term, it is called "getting better!" They can display extraordinary combat levels!

The indicator light of a special communication channel began to flash. Le Yiqin hurriedly adjusted the intercom to that channel. In an instant, the voice of the division commander Tang Qiuli came over, "Yiqin, I am Tang Qiuli. The ground battle is progressing."

If everything goes well, you can fight freely,

The mixed Soviet fleet that was released did not take advantage and has been repelled. If the pressure on the troops is too great, they can gradually withdraw southward in a planned manner to lure the Soviet fighter fleet into the range of ground air defense firepower, allowing the air defense to

The troops will help you!"

When Le Yiqin heard this, she felt uncomfortable and simply refused: "Thank you, sir, for your concern. We can still support you. The old pilots, their hands and feet are a little soft now. Don't worry, don't hurt Su."

The Army and the Air Force are pissed, they have voluntarily withdrawn from the battle, and they will never withdraw their troops if they dare not show their presence again!"

While distracted, two Soviet fighter jets came up from behind Le Yiqin, "No. 1! No. 1! There are two tails following you, get rid of them immediately!" On the air formation channel, his own wingman pilot suddenly came.

Urgent calls.

Le Yiqin pushed hard on the left rudder, and the fighter plane rolled sideways. Several strings of rockets flew past the wings. Immediately, two Soviet fighter jets passed by and rushed towards Le Yiqin's fighter plane.

Front.

Le Yiqin adjusted her flight attitude and quickly placed one of the Soviet fighter jets in the aperture of the sight. She pressed her finger hard on the launch button, and several tongues of flames penetrated the Soviet fighter jet.

There was a loud "Boom!" inside the fuselage, and a cloud of smoke mixed with dark red flames exploded in the sky filled with bullet marks.

"Commander, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I'm fighting hard right now. I'll give you a detailed report on the battle situation when I get back!" Le Yiqin shouted, and before Tang Qiuli could speak, he turned off the special communication channel with a "bada"

, raising the nose of the plane, the fighter suddenly jumped up and stared at another Soviet fighter.

In the command post, Tang Qiuli was dumbfounded with the intercom in his hand. For a long time, he seemed to have come back to his senses and said bitterly: "You Le Yiqin! You actually said that what I said was nonsense. Are you so bold?

no!"

There was a loudspeaker in the command post, and the conversation between Tang Qiuli and Le Yiqin was heard word for word in the ears of all the staff officers and radio personnel, as well as the correspondents who came in and out. Zhao Yuhe and Wang Jun,

They were so happy that they were so happy that even though the other young officers did not dare to laugh out loud, they all suppressed their blushes and endured it very hard. Several young female operators even laughed so hard that their shoulders shook and their branches trembled!

Tang Qiuli's eyes widened and his laughter stopped immediately. However, when he turned around, everyone was still smiling. On the one hand, Le Yiqin was the first among all the corps-level commanders of the independent division to dare to say

The division commander was talking nonsense, but on the other hand, both the ground and air battles were going very smoothly. There was no tense atmosphere in the headquarters, and everyone was in a relaxed and happy mood.

Tang Qiuli said to Zhao Yuhe: "Chief of Staff Zhao, take note that as soon as Le Yiqin lands on the ground after the air battle, send a telegram immediately. I will punish him, severely!"

Zhao Yuhe said cheerfully: "Commander, after this battle, Commander Le's aircraft fleet was able to defeat the Soviet Air Force to the point where they didn't even dare to show their faces. From Lake Baikal to Kulun, the air supremacy is in our hands. So,

A big achievement, are you willing to punish him?"

Tang Qiuli also burst into laughter and said: "It's okay not to punish him, but I can't reward him either. Otherwise, this guy should start shaking and become even more arrogant. Sooner or later, he won't piss me off to death!"

No matter what everyone in the division headquarters thought, in the sky, Le Yiqin commanded the fleet, fighting more bravely and more smoothly, waiting for Lieutenant General Jonasov to command the remaining fighter jets and rush to the air combat battlefield.

At that time, the initiative on the battlefield had been transferred to the independent division aviation, and there was still a one-sided trend.

Lieutenant General Jonasov scanned the battlefield and made an immediate decision, "Order all formations to withdraw from the battle and return home immediately!"

Lieutenant General Jonasov was extremely reluctant to issue such an order, but he knew better that if he continued to fight, not only would he not be able to eliminate the independent division aviation, but the losses of his own fleet would continue to increase, and his morale would no longer be on his side.

, the most important thing is that it has completed the task of covering the evacuation of the Transcaucasus Military Region troops. If the air force losses are too large, it will be difficult to explain in any aspect.

The Soviet fleet gradually broke away from the battle and began to return home. Le Yiqin breathed a long sigh of relief. It was not that he did not want to pursue, but that he was unable to do so. The air battle continued for more than an hour. Not only was the plane's fuel insufficient, but the losses of each regiment were also

, I’m afraid it won’t be too small.

Le Yiqin glanced bitterly at the retreating direction of the Soviet fleet and issued an order: "Attention, all regiments, return immediately. After landing, statistics of pilot casualties and fighter losses will be reported to the group headquarters. Each regiment will hold a battle summary meeting.

To review the gains and losses of today’s air battle, we must have written materials and report them together!”

"Culomb Aerial Pointer! Coulomb Aerial Pointer! I am No. 1. Contact the ground forces immediately to search and rescue our parachuting pilots. At the same time, order the ground handling departments of all airports to be prepared to repair battle-damaged aircraft!"

A fierce air battle was over. After hearing the report that Le Yiqin had safely led the fleet back home, Tang Qiuli's heart finally returned to his stomach. The next thing to consider was how to do it best and fastest.

The end of this battle, and what is the current progress on the battlefield of chasing the Soviet Far East Front troops in eastern Outer Mongolia?
