Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1938 The loss of aviation

Historical experience and the memories brought by later generations are one thing, but a real fight is another matter. The current Soviet Union feels to Tang Qiuli like a rough-skinned, thick-bodied Soviet Union with high health and high defense.

, the polar bear, which is forbidden to be beaten, has a large population, a vast territory, and a huge space for strategic maneuvering. No wonder, in the historical Soviet-German battlefield of World War II, tens of millions of people were used to sweep across the European continent and fight.

The German army was completely defeated by the British and French forces.

At this point, Tang Qiuli became more determined to completely annihilate the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region troops and the Far East Front troops on two battlefields at the same time. Stalin must be beaten to pain and fear, so that the Soviets would stop thinking about Outer Mongolia and

For his territorial ambitions in the Far East, two wars in Outer Mongolia were not enough, so Tang Qiuli did not hesitate to fight a third or fourth time... until Stalin trembled all over when he thought of the Chinese in the south.

Only in this way can the future northern border remain relatively stable and prevent the Soviet army from invading southward. Otherwise, facing a neighbor with a strong desire for expansion and territorial desire, polar bears heading south will rise at any time and maintain a huge border all year round.

The manpower, material resources, and financial resources consumed in armament are not enough to fight several wars in Outer Mongolia. This is the so-called difference between long-term pain and short-term pain. The feeling of being remembered is not pleasant.

In addition to the Soviets who are extremely territorial, there are also the feuding Japanese on those islands who are always dreaming about Chinese territory. To deter the Soviet Union in the north and destroy Japan in the east requires huge military power, thousands of preparations, and countless rainy days.

At this moment, Tang Qiuli racked his brains to weigh the pros and cons, almost exhausted his efforts, his eyesight turned black, he felt dizzy, and the blood on his face faded.

Seeing the division commander's face, he suddenly turned pale. Le Yiqin, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, and Deputy Chief of Staff Wang Jun rushed over and asked eagerly: "Commander, what's wrong with you? Military doctor! Military doctor!"

Zhao Yuhe shouted loudly.

It was just a moment of dizziness. Tang Qiuli waved his hands calmly and said: "Don't make a fuss, I just didn't have a good rest last night. Yiqin, you go back to the army immediately. The aviation force has no combat missions recently. Restoration is the only priority.

Killed in action

You and Chief of Staff Zhao will discuss the funeral arrangements for the crew members. The pension must be doubled and the Aviation Command must send a special person to hand it over to their relatives. In addition, in the name of the division commander, it will be awarded to all those who died in action.

Pilot Medal for Valor, Second Class!”

Le Yiqin's nose felt hot, and she nodded while holding back tears. She suddenly remembered what the division commander had just said, and immediately asked in a daze: "Commander, the aviation force has not had any combat missions recently. What if Soviet bombers and fighter jets attack us?

Just watching Lao Maozi's planes show off their power in the sky, and feel like a coward? Doesn't that make that Soviet air commander Jonasov laugh at the fact that our aviation force is intimidated?"

Tang Qiuli glared at him and said angrily: "You don't have to worry about this, there are ground air defense troops! The Soviet fleet also suffered heavy losses and hemorrhage, and they will never dare to cause trouble recently. Besides, there are only a hundred fights.

Fighters are not a thing yet, just mind your own business!"

Le Yiqin rolled her eyes a few times, stopped arguing, agreed, hurriedly saluted with a military salute, and left.

Looking at Le Yiqin's back, Tang Qiuli said suspiciously to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, keep a close eye on Le Yiqin. Don't let him show off. If he loses the remaining wealth of the aviation force,

, after all the trouble, I will never spare him, I always feel like this guy is hiding something from us?"

Tang Qiuli had really guessed it. At around 10 noon on September 30, Le Yiqin called and went directly to the battle headquarters. Those who signed up for a number asked to speak to the division commander.

Zhao Yuhe handed the phone to Tang Qiuli, "Commander, I am Le Yiqin. On behalf of the aviation force, I am requesting a fight from you. We are dispatching six fighter regiments and three bomber regiments, totaling more than 600 combat aircraft to form a mixed fleet.

Bomb the Soviet troops retreating north. In addition, dispatch two fighter regiments and one bomber regiment to support Deputy Commander Liu's battlefield, and let the old Maozi Air Force show that our independent division aviation is still capable!"

Tang Qiuli asked in disbelief: "Le Yiqin, what did you say? You brought out more than 800 combat aircraft on two battlefields. How is this possible?"

Le Yiqin on the other end of the phone said triumphantly: "Commander, after I returned, I ordered the ground handling departments of all field airports to repair our battle-damaged fighter jets overnight. No, as of now, we have more than 560 fighter jets.

They can all reach the sky. I still have five bomber regiments in my hand that have not been used, so I only took out three this time!"

"Division Commander, the troops have just suffered heavy losses and are in need of an overwhelming air strike to boost the morale of the troops. It is also to show the Soviet Air Force commander the combat potential of our independent division aviation! It is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, Division Commander,

You must never disapprove it!”

As soon as Tang Qiuli considered it, Le Yiqin's analysis was very reasonable and was particularly important for controlling the air superiority on the battlefield, so he said: "Okay, I approve your combat plan, but you must pay attention to the movements of the Soviet Air Force.

Use your brain and never fight a war of attrition like yesterday again!"

Le Yiqin said excitedly: "Thank you, Commander, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission!" Then with a look of disdain, he continued: "As for those old Maozi Air Force, if you give them the courage, they don't dare to fight today. After the battle yesterday,

Destroyed the courage of the Soviet Air Force!"

The aviation force of the Independent Division was like a strong young man who was still covered in bruises yesterday. After a night's sleep, he shook his shoulders and started moving vigorously again. He took off more than 800 combat aircraft in one breath and flew towards the original direction.

The exhausted and demoralized troops of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military District launched a fierce air attack.

After receiving a telegram from General Kulykin requesting air fire cover, Lieutenant General Jonasov, air commander of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Campaign and deputy commander of the Air Force of the Don Military Region, smiled bitterly and rubbed his forehead in pain. Yesterday's battle,

The air cluster in the Battle of Outer Mongolia suffered heavy losses. Less than 200 fighter jets and more than 300 bombers flew back intact. That was a large fleet of more than 2,000 combat aircraft!

The more than 800 injured fighter jets that flew back were still lying in the cabin for overhaul. The ground handling department was busy all night. At dawn, the person in charge of ground handling with red eyes told himself that about 600 of them were

The aircraft have lost their maintenance value, and the remaining more than 100 aircraft will not be able to fly again until a week at the earliest.

Remember what you said? Yes, I got angry and reprimanded the ground support system for its inefficiency. In the past, there was no precedent for fighter jets being damaged. After a day or so of repairs, they could return to the sky, even if they were seriously hit this time.

Some, it can't be that more than 600 aircraft cannot be repaired, and it will take a week to repair more than 100 aircraft?

The person in charge, who held the rank of Ordnance Colonel, argued with great grievance: "Comrade Deputy Commander, the staff of the ground support department worked all night, and they did not slow down. The reason why this happened is because of the independent division's fighter jets.

, a new type of ammunition was used, which severely damaged the internal structure of the fighter fuselage and affected the safety performance of the aircraft. I am extremely lucky to be able to fly back and land without falling off in the middle!"

This is the situation faced by Deputy Commander Jonasov. How can he provide air fire support for Kulykin's troops? More than 100 fighter jets will fight against more than 500 independent division aviation fighter jets. Just thinking about it makes him confused.

Shiver! That's almost like going to die.

Lieutenant General Jonasov did not receive a reply from General Kulykin, but his attitude was tactful but very clear, "Our air group suffered huge losses in yesterday's air battle. There are only more than a hundred fighter jets that can take off for combat. For General

Comrade's request is really powerless. It's not that the Air Force doesn't want to go to war, it's that it's powerless. Please understand that I have reported the specific situation to the headquarters to explain the current situation our Air Force is facing!"

The implication is that Deputy Commander Jonasov told General Kulykin, I want to fight and help you, but I don’t have the capital, so don’t follow the path of the headquarters. I have already said hello.

After reading it, General Kulykin was so angry that he tore the telegram into pieces and said to the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Zernenko: "Do you see, this is the retreat guarantee arranged by the high command for us. At the critical moment, we can't count on it.

, Forget it, don’t count on the air force, order the troops not to worry about the bombing of the independent division aviation, and retreat as quickly as possible. I hope there is the pontoon bridge I want to see on the Selenge River!"

But General Kulykin’s wish was about to come true. On the south bank of the Selenga River, what was waiting for the defeated soldiers of the Transcaucasian Military Region was not a pontoon, but the East Finger Chief of Staff Yang Ketian, who was gearing up to take the last bite of fat. Commanded

of troops.

The second-rate Soviet infantry division that, on orders from the Soviet high command, rushed south from Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude to build a bridge over the Selenge River for the troops of the Transcaucasus Military District, has not yet seen it.

The shadow of the Selenge River was hit hard head-on by Liu Jinlong's unit of the 11th East Point Mechanized Brigade on the north bank.

The 11th Brigade, which belongs to the heavy artillery regiment, rained down large-caliber howitzer shells on the hurriedly marching Soviet troops. This second-rate division, which had no heavy weapons and had not experienced much combat, was disrupted at that time.

The sound of artillery stopped, and the Soviet soldiers had not yet recovered from the blow. The Third Cavalry Brigade of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard Force strengthened its troops and began another frontal assault.

More than 5,000 galloping war horses, kicking up the dust in the sky, and more than 5,000 gleaming sabers, reflected the cold light of the swords in the midday sun of the Outer Mongolian grasslands, flowing over the Soviet army like a tide. The cavalry two-wheeled

After the charge, about half of the Soviet soldiers fell under the sword, and the rest were all captured.
