Age of Conquest Reborn

Being able to dispatch more than 900 combat aircraft is basically the limit of the Japanese Army and Navy Air Force. It is close to more than a quarter of the number of combat aircraft owned by the Japanese army. It is not that it does not want to dispatch more combat aircraft. Japan

The battlefield opened by the empire is not just the Far East. //Visit and download txt novel //

On the Australian battlefield in the Southwest Pacific, the Japanese-Australian Expeditionary Forces and the Allied forces fought bloody battles. Although the Japanese army was at an advantage, the Allied forces led by Britain and the United States were not easily killed. They held on to the last few lines of defense.

The army tried its best but could not kill it. Like a cockroach, the two sides formed a situation of attrition. The Australian battlefield also requires a large number of combat aircraft.

In the Northeast, a considerable number of combat aircraft are still needed to guard against the Northern Flying Group of the Reading Division Aviation Force. After a few words, this is all Emperor Hirohito can bring to the table.

Under the orders of Commander Lieutenant General Hashimoto Minami, the combat aircraft of the Japanese Army's Far East Flying Group used all their assets in their first sortie, hoping to inflict damage to the Kwantung Army, which was surrounded by Soviet troops.

, provide maximum air support, and if the air strike goes well, it can also blast a bloody path.

However, Lieutenant General Hashimoto Minami found that he was wrong, and very wrong. General Zhukov, the commander of the Soviet Far Eastern Front, was a general with a very strategic vision. The aviation units under his command were always in a state of preparation for war, regardless of other

The local war situation was so tense that none of the combat aircraft in the hands of the Far Eastern Front were allowed to move. They were specially designed to deal with the Japanese Kwantung Army.

Even the Outer Mongolia Front Army was bombarded indiscriminately by fighter jets and bombers of Liu Cuigang's Northern Flying Group on its way south to Saiyinsanda, making it almost impossible to move forward. Zhukov also resisted the huge pressure from the General Staff and the Air Force Headquarters.

Sending combat aircraft to the battlefield in Outer Mongolia was a success for Liu Cuigang. After killing more than 300 fighter jets that the Soviet army had finally assembled, the sky in southern Outer Mongolia was dominated by the Northern Flying Group.

The air force in Zhukov's hands consists of two air fleets with about a thousand combat aircraft. The Japanese army and navy mixed air force took a desperate stance. Zhukov was not to be outdone and used all the aviation power in his hands to fight.

Starting from April 6, Soviet and Japanese fighter jets started fierce battles in the airspace around Robizhan and Khabarovsk. The clear sky was filled with gunpowder smoke, ballistic trajectories and aircraft wreckage everywhere.

Fight until April 9th, each

More than 300 fighter jets and more than 100 bombers were lost. No one on either side took advantage. It was a tie. For the Soviet Far East Front, it did not affect the overall situation. But for the Japanese Kwantung Army, the only hope was

It was completely shattered.

Both the air and ground rescue forces returned in vain, and the army also lost troops and generals. General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army in the encirclement, had no choice but to grit his teeth and support himself while ordering the attack on Birobizhan and Khabarovsk.

Never stopping, while resisting Zhukov's attack from the rear, the number of lives of Kwantung Army soldiers filled in every day was more than 70,000 to 80,000. Every time he saw the casualty statistics, Nanjiro shivered with pain.

Japan as a whole is at a loss to deal with the war situation in the Far East. It can only watch the Kwantung Army being gradually consumed. It only hopes that General Nanjiro can drag the reinforcements to the mainland and the North Korean garrison troops still running on the road.

More than 200,000 horses arrived.

General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, was mentally and physically exhausted. General Vasilevsky, the commander and political commissar of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front Army who was responsible for the attack on Seinshanda, was also unhappy and felt quite anxious.

The bombing of the Soviet army by the reading force aviation almost completely disrupted Vasilevsky's plan, and the loss of soldiers was second. For the Outer Mongolia Front Army with more than 1.3 million troops, because of the air strikes and bombing

, the loss of several thousand troops every day is not painful, but a drop in the bucket, but what gives Vasilevsky a headache is that the bombers and fighter jets of the Reading Division are specifically looking for vanguard troops and logistics troops to attack.

The rapid advancement of the vanguard was in vain. The losses of the logistics troops also forced Vasilevsky to order the troops to slow down their march south. The food and drink for more than one million people and the ammunition required for equipment and equipment were astronomical figures.

The logistics supply line from Cullen to Seinshanda was almost destroyed by the force-reading planes, making the supply of supplies increasingly difficult.

Fortunately, after paying a certain price, the vanguard of the three armies with more than 500,000 people finally reached the Altan Shire line. Tomorrow evening, they can launch an attack on Saiyin Shanda. This made me depressed and

General Vasilevsky is in a somewhat better mood.

However, this good mood did not last for a few hours. On the evening of April 9th, something unexpected happened and completely ruined it.

A telegram was placed in front of General Vasilevsky, which was sent by the commander of the garrison staying in Kulun, "Comrade Commander, I am reporting to you an emergency situation. This afternoon, a large number of cavalry units from the Reading Division were

, suddenly appeared outside Cullen

, and launched a fierce attack on Cullen, because our army did not have many troops left in Cullen, so it was in a passive state. The cavalry of the Reading Division has already captured the periphery of Cullen. I implore the commander, comrade, to send reinforcements immediately, otherwise Cullen will soon

fall!"

General Vasilevsky was so angry that he almost cursed his mother. He couldn't understand why a large number of readers' cavalry suddenly appeared outside Coulun and had the courage to attack Coulomb. Moreover, there were so many readers.

How did the division cavalry avoid the front of the Outer Mongolia Front's over one million troops advancing? What did the reconnaissance troops do?

For this reason, General Vasilevsky became so angry that he almost shot the Major General of the Reconnaissance Department of the Front Army Headquarters. He had vented his temper. The situation in Cullen still had to be resolved, and it would not work if it was not resolved. Cullen was the rear of the Front Army.

The support base and transfer station, food, drink and supplies for more than one million people, and all the ammunition required for equipment are all in Culun City. If Culun falls into the hands of the force-reading cavalry, how can more than one million people fight against Saiyin Mountain?

Damn, I'll starve to death.

General Vasilevsky regretted his decision very much. He thought that the troops of the Reading Division had been pressed into southern Outer Mongolia by his own army, so there was only one garrison division left in Kulun, and this division

It is still a baggage unit. At full strength, it only has about 7,000 troops, and its combat effectiveness is even worse.

Frowning and thinking for a long time, General Vasilevsky picked up the phone and said, "Order, the 42nd Army of the rear guard to send two armies to immediately return to support Cullen and be responsible for clearing out the cavalry of the Lidu Division.

force."

The total strength of the two armies was nearly 90,000, which was used to deal with Liu Chun's four cavalry brigades of more than 20,000 people. Vasilevsky was also ruthless. If the cavalry of the readers were allowed to

, attacking Kulun, harassing the logistics supply line, and attacking Saiyin Shanda will become very difficult. Judging from the continuous air strikes on the troops by the reading force aircraft, Saiyin Shanda is the last line of defense held by Tang Qiuli's troops.

Putting aside the matter of Cullen, General Vasilevsky focused all his attention on the attack on Seinshanda, which was about to begin tomorrow. At about eight o'clock in the night of April 9, General Vasilevsky, the commander of the front,

The Ministry convened a military meeting to deploy the campaign plan to attack Saiyinsanda.

More than a hundred senior Soviet generals packed the huge tent to the hilt. However, the Soviet generals all had a tired look on their faces as the force-reading aircraft continued to bombard them indiscriminately.

, these unit commanders were overwhelmed and helpless. They had to advance quickly and arrive at the attack position on time in accordance with the orders of the front army headquarters. They also had to be prepared for the force-reading aircraft that could swoop down from the sky at any time. It would be strange if they were not tired.

?

However, seeing that Comrade Commander of the Front Army was even more tired, with a somewhat sallow complexion, and that he had lost a lot of weight and appeared to be much slimmer, the Soviet generals were more balanced. The battle plan for the attack on Saiyinshanda was decided by the Front Army Staff Officer

Lieutenant General Changbo said Nev announced.

Similarly, Comrade Chief of Staff also had dark circles under his eyes, which was obviously due to poor rest and lack of sleep. "Comrades, the front army headquarters' battle plan for the attack on Saiyin Shanda is very clear. It is to use the 35th and 3rd forces of the vanguard.

The 17th and 41st Army Groups were mainly divided into three attack directions, each responsible for attacking in a certain area. At the same time, they launched an attack on the Reading Division troops. The time of the attack was determined to be 6:30 in the evening on April 10th.

Very neat.”

"Once the attack begins, the three group armies will deploy all their forces and form a large-scale, multi-directional and continuous offensive situation in the area responsible for the attack. They will strive to use about three days to capture Saiyin Shanda and then advance to

Along the Sino-Mongolian border, the two armies of the second echelon will also join the offensive sequence after arriving on the battlefield on April 14th!"

The commanders of the three group armies in the vanguard remained silent and launched the attack on time. There was no problem. However, in order to advance quickly and to avoid air strikes from the force-reading division aircraft, the artillery and tank units of each group army fell far behind.

Behind the infantry, everyone knows that the terrain conditions of Saiyinsanda are easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has always been a battleground for military strategists and has become a military fortress from history.

When the Soviet army occupied Outer Mongolia, they strengthened and improved the defense system in many ways, and it became a hard nut that could not be chewed. Without the fire support of artillery and tanks, the infantry attack alone could not defeat Saiyinshanda.

Moreover, the casualties paid will be an astonishing number. I am afraid that after the fight, more than half of the soldiers of the three armies will fall in Saiyin Shanda, and they will not be able to conquer it.
