Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 785: The air battle started first

The Feng Jiwu unit of the ** Division deployed defenses in the Kazadewu Mountain Pass area, but was noticed by Zhukov, commander and political commissar of the Soviet First Army of the Far East. He did not send a reconnaissance plane for advance reconnaissance, but directly ordered the bomber unit to attack that area.

The fortifications of the Chinese ** team were flattened. (Baidu search,)

This order disapproved of many senior officers within the group army. How could the Comrade Commander conclude that the Chinese Communist Party was deployed at the Kazadwu Mountain Pass? Are the Chinese so smart? Is it confidence or arrogance, decisiveness or arbitrary?

Because of Zhukov

It was Comrade Stalin, the supreme leader, who personally named the commander. No one said anything openly, but they were already laughing in their hearts. Among them was the Ninth Far East Mixed Flying Division, assigned to the First Far East Army.

Major General Litschenko.

How could Zhukov, who was well aware of the internal shortcomings of the Soviet Red Army, not know the thoughts of the generals? He also knew more clearly that these military cadres, commonly known as "rocket-type" military cadres who were promoted suddenly after the great purge of counterrevolutionaries, had little information in their stomachs.

A few months ago, most of the senior military officers were battalion and regiment commanders, or political cadres who were just lying around. Suddenly, they looked like generals.

Zhukov, who had long served as the deputy chief of staff of the Soviet Far East Military Region, knew exactly what they were. He didn't bother to express anything to these people. He just glanced at everyone with a hawk-like gaze and saw the photos and reports brought back by the bombers.

A loud slap in the face to these senior generals who wanted to see a joke. The Chinese really set up defenses at the Kazadwu Mountain Pass and were still nervously building fortifications.

This bombing should have achieved actual results. Everyone had to admire Zhukov's strategic vision and commanding ability. Before he could say the compliments, the comrade commander became furious and confused the Ninth Far East Flying Division Commander Major General Yurichenko.

He was scolded until his eyes were filled with stars, and his face was always blue and blue.

The reason is very simple. Yurichenko, an arrogant guy, sent more than a hundred bombers but did not send fighter jets to escort him. This is the way of the air force of any country. Zhukov was afraid even thinking about it. If Tang Qiuli's aviation force

, happens to be performing protection missions in the airspace around the Kazadwu Pass, and all the bombers of the First Far East Army will become living targets for Chinese fighter jets.

How can he win the air supremacy? This guy Yurichenko is either extremely arrogant or extremely stupid. Major General Yurichenko, who received a violent training, is not very convinced. Zhukov is deliberately establishing his authority. He only wants to

But unfortunately, it happened to be a flashpoint. The Chinese have a lot of aircraft? I haven't heard of it. I'm afraid they have just been equipped with rifles, right?

The aggrieved Major General Yurichenko did send fighter jets to escort him when he issued the bombing order for the second time. However, he only sent three brigades and less than forty fighter jets. He also intended to compete with Zhukov. I sent

I had a fighter escort, but I didn’t complete the bombing mission with a large fleet of fighter jets as you mentioned, and the bombers returned successfully. What could happen to me?

Around ten o'clock, the Soviet army carried out intensive carpet bombing from north to south. The bomber group entered the bombing airspace first. Just like yesterday, the Soviet bombers lined up in a neat formation and carried out intensive carpet bombing from north to south.

The navigators of the crew reported one after another, "The target has been found and the bombing can be carried out." The bombardier had already put his finger on the control button. With a slight press, the aerial bombs in the belly of the aircraft poured out, and then they returned to home, successfully completing the mission.

.

This time, the land of Outer Mongolia was no longer the Silence of the Lambs. Overnight, sharp fangs sprouted on this devastated land. Following Feng Jiwu’s order, the first burst of anti-aircraft fire

The net suddenly erupted, a dense rain of bullets created a three-dimensional metal wall, and the Soviet bomber, which was entering a dive state, crashed into it.

A dozen black fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the dozen Soviet bombers that were the first to enter the dive bombing position were all spared. They smoked and burst into flames, and exploded into pieces in the air. Only a few of them shook like drunkards and whined as they smashed into the sky.

There was a sudden attack on the ground. All the Soviet bomber pilots did not expect that the land that was left to be slaughtered yesterday would become a prickly hedgehog today.

The second echelon of Soviet bombers were not spared. In one encounter, the Soviets lost more than twenty bombers. The remaining bombers quickly climbed up and got out of the range of ground fire. The Soviet fighter group that reacted seemed to be

As if he had been greatly insulted, under the command of the air commander, he dived down from a high altitude, spraying flames from the nose of the aircraft.

The bullets made shallow grooves with splashing soil on the ground. Without the "Sky Eye" artillery sighting radar, ordinary light and heavy machine gun firepower could not cause much damage to the maneuverable and agile fighter jets. Each anti-air fire point was silent, and the ones that circled around were silent.

Although the Soviet bomber group did not dare to lower its altitude too much, it still dumped tons of bombs on the heads of Feng Jiwu's troops according to the general direction.

Fires shot into the sky, smoke pillars rose, soil and gravel flew everywhere, and the entire Kazadewu Mountain Pass, which stretched for more than 20 kilometers, was completely shrouded in smoke. In fifteen minutes, the casualties of Feng Jiwu's troops had reached

There were more than a thousand people, and a heavy aerial bomb exploded not far from Feng Jiwu with a scream that sent chills all over the body.

A huge soil flower drowned Feng Jiwu's figure. The staff officers and correspondents nearby watched the commander being swallowed up by the huge smoke and dust raised by the explosion. They closed their eyes and shouted in despair: "It's over.

, this time the commander was afraid that he was going to die in battle, so everyone ran over regardless of the bombs roaring above their heads. When the smoke cleared, a corner of their military uniforms was revealed in the soil.

Everyone hurriedly dug up the soil, first six soldiers, and then Feng Jiwu climbed up from the soil. His body was covered with blood. Everyone was frightened and hurried forward to check. The commander was not injured at all, and the six guards were there.

A human bunker was built around him, protecting the commander's safety at the cost of four lives and two serious injuries.

Feng Jiwu shook his dizzy head and glanced at several guards lying in a pool of blood. The pain in his eyes flashed past. The staff quickly pulled Feng Jiwu to a safe place. Suddenly

, the communications staff hurriedly shouted: "Commander, the aviation commander is calling you, our fleet is about to arrive in the combat airspace."

Feng Jiwu grabbed the intercom and shouted loudly: "Yiqin, I am Feng Jiwu. You are finally here. The Soviets have less than forty fighter jets. Give these old idiots a good beating for me. **, almost

"You're going to kill me." Le Yiqin couldn't help but laugh. This was the first time he saw Commander Feng swearing. There were less than forty Soviet fighter jets, so this battle was easy to fight.

Le Yiqin led all the fighter jets to climb high quickly. A few minutes later, a black Soviet bomber group appeared in the line of sight below. "Everyone pay attention, the fleet is divided into two groups to outflank the Soviet bomber group, the first group and the second group."

"Regiment, follow me to attack, be responsible for taking out the Soviet fighter jets, the attack begins." After giving the order, Le Yiqin pressed the nose of the aircraft and was the first to press towards the aircraft of the commander of the Soviet escort fighter group. Capture the thief first and capture the king first.

This is his usual style of play.

Like a flock of eagles attacking a henhouse, the Soviet bombers were in disarray. Almost all the bomber crews were scolding the division commander, Major General Yurichenko. Didn't they say that the Chinese had no planes? These were conjured up by magic.

, the Soviet fighter pilots also scolded the division commander Major General Yurichenko, so they sent three groups of fighter jets to face more than a hundred Chinese fighter jets. Isn't this looking for death?

Thirty minutes later, a large-scale air battle ended. In addition to the six or seven Soviet fighter jets that fled back, more than a hundred Soviet bombers, together with more than 20 fighter jets, turned into a black smoke cloud in the blue sky.

Exploding fireworks, or a fireball crashing into the ground.

The aviation force of the ** Division shot down nine fighter jets and damaged 16 more, all of which shot down the bomber unit of the Soviet 9th Mixed Flying Division in the Far East, severely damaging its fighter regiment and causing Zhukov to lose his air superiority and no longer be able to attack Feng Jiwu.

Large-scale and indiscriminate bombing of the troops' defensive positions was of great help to the troops in holding on to the blocking line at the Kazadwu Mountain Pass.

After the battle, Tang Qiuli once specifically said that the aviation unit's battle in the airspace of Kazadwu Mountain Pass played an immeasurable role in ensuring the victory of the Battle of Outer Mongolia, and affected the course of subsequent battles.

The division troops established a foothold in Outer Mongolia, defeated the Soviet conspiracy, and achieved great success.

The troops on the ground were dumbfounded by this air battle. The air defense sentry sent another report that a large number of Soviet aircraft were taking off from the direction of Minusinsk. Feng Jiwu reported the information to Le Yiqin, who

Qin knew that this was a group of Soviet fighter jets coming for revenge. He had taken advantage of enough and could not wait to be beaten here. He flew around Feng Jiwu's position at low altitude several times, shaking the wings of the fighter planes, and Shi Shiran took the group with him.

Leave.

Feng Jiwu quickly ordered the troops to hide while Le Yiqin flew away. Don't let Lao Maozi take it out on his own soldiers. When more than 200 Soviet fighter jets flew over the Kazadewu Mountain Pass, in the sky,

There was no longer a squadron aircraft in sight, only the burning wreckage of the aircraft on the ground, billowing smoke and flames. The frustrated Soviet fighter group poured fiercely on the empty ground.

After a large number of bullets, he flew away dejectedly.

After receiving the battle report, Zhukov was furious. All the bombers were lost. The impact on his future combat plans caused immeasurable losses, and even more irreparable losses. In one air battle, more than a hundred aircraft were lost. This was in the battle of the Soviet Red Army.

It was an unprecedented failure and huge humiliation in history. For the first time, a shadow appeared in Zhukov's heart.
