Predator Reborn

Loss of air superiority

Lieutenant General Vajim, the artillery commander of the Soviet Far East Army, has never relaxed his inner tension since he showed all his trump cards during the artillery battle just now. (Just read the novel.)

At this moment, the only thought in his mind was to hope that the five heavy artillery brigades he had just ordered could quickly deploy their positions to prepare for the subsequent artillery bombardment launched by the squadron.

However, what made him despair was that the news that the artillery positions of the five heavy artillery brigades, which he had assembled and ten heavy artillery brigades, had been bombarded just as they were about to start taking action, reached his headquarters through the phone.

"What are you talking about? An artillery unit suddenly appeared from the squadron. They are using artillery fire to advance layer by layer to conduct a saturated artillery fire attack on our artillery group..." Listening to the sound of explosions a few kilometers away

There was sudden heavy artillery fire. Lieutenant General Vajim asked directly with an incredulous look on his face.

"Yes, Comrade Commander..." the operational staff officer of the headquarters replied affirmatively.

After seeing the uncertain expression on Lieutenant General Vajim's face, he continued to reply in a low voice: "Comrade Commander, according to the latest battle report from the front line, our artillery group was destroyed in less than five minutes of indiscriminate saturation bombardment.

At least two hundred artillery pieces and more than two thousand artillery personnel were lost..."

"Bang..." Lieutenant General Vajim's clenched fist hit the desk in front of him hard.

After seeing the solemn and motionless subordinates standing in front of him, Lieutenant General Vajim looked angry and cursed directly: "Chinese artillery, I will use artillery shells to blow you to pieces..."

Different from the anger of the commander, Lieutenant General Vadim, the chief of staff in front of him was obviously much calmer. After seeing that the anger that enveloped Lieutenant General Vadim's face dissipated a lot as time went by, he directly

He tentatively asked: "Comrade Commander, are you ordering the artillery unit under attack to retreat immediately?"

"Retreat...can our retreat speed be comparable to the speed of artillery shells..." A hint of sneer appeared on Lieutenant General Vajim's face.

Immediately, he seemed to have thought of something, and asked directly with a look of anticipation: "How long will it take for the next five heavy artillery brigades to launch a counterattack?"

"It will take at least twenty minutes..." the chief of staff replied helplessly.

"Twenty minutes. Twenty minutes later, our thousands of artillery pieces will all turn into a pile of scrap metal... What are you still doing? Order the five heavy artillery brigades to speed up immediately. What I need now is time...

...At the same time, order the artillery staff to immediately calculate the specific location of the Chinese artillery positions. Once the artillery positions are deployed, immediately launch a counterattack and destroy them..." Lieutenant General Vajim, who looked heartbroken and anxious, directly faced the staff officer in front of him.

The commander ordered.

"Yes, Comrade Commander..."

As Lieutenant General Vajim, who holds thousands of large-caliber artillery pieces, he did not wait for his subordinates to have a chance to counterattack until the artillery group under attack, which totaled more than a thousand large-caliber artillery pieces, was turned into scrap metal.

And just when the heavy artillery brigades he had placed high hopes on fired back artillery shells full of revenge at the Chinese artillery positions, the three heavy artillery brigades had already moved quickly under Chen Guangrong's strict order.

The first round of artillery battle between the Chinese and Soviet armies ended under the shocked eyes of everyone. The Soviet army lost more than a thousand artillery pieces and the Chinese artillery gained a complete victory.

The air force battle failed, and the artillery battle also failed. The face of General Gorodovikov, commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Army, who was originally confident in this attack, quickly turned pale. However, even so, Gorodovikov

The general did not give up his determination to continue the attack.

Because he knew that as the world situation became increasingly unfavorable to the Soviet government, General Secretary Stalin in Moscow had already begun to stare closely at the battle here. Once he returned without success, he would also let others

The great Soviet Far East Red Army suffered heavy losses, and the ending that awaits itself will definitely be even more tragic than that of its predecessor, General Benodov.

Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent appeared directly on the face of the general. He faced the Chief of Staff of the Far Eastern Army who was waiting for orders in front of him. He decisively ordered: "Comrade Chief of Staff, immediately issue an order to the Air Force Commander: Rear Air Force Force

, continue to attack, and gain air superiority on the battlefield at all costs. Then, suppress the Chinese artillery force..."

"Give a name to all the offensive troops in the first round: All combat troops will launch an attack immediately according to the original combat plan of the Far East Army Headquarters. Use our steel torrent to tear apart the Chinese blocking positions in one fell swoop and annihilate them all...

.”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..." the Chief of Staff replied with a serious face.

"Buzz buzz..." In order to gain air supremacy on the battlefield, the Air Force Commander under the Far East Army also began to go crazy...

In order to maintain their position and for their own honor, fighter squadrons one after another, under the orders of Air Force Commander Lieutenant General Mawisky, rushed into the sky regardless of consumption, rushing into the air battle that had swallowed up countless outstanding Soviet pilots.

battlefield.

At the same time, two heavy tank brigades, one mechanized infantry division, one ordinary infantry division... a total of 50,000 old Maozi troops formed an unstoppable torrent of steel, like a sheathed sword, and quickly blocked the border guards.

Go straight in the direction of the position.

The battle is still going on, and the temporary victory achieved by the artillery group has diluted the increasingly solemn atmosphere in many command headquarters. However, in the face of the increasingly fierce offensive momentum of the Soviet bosses, including the commander-in-chief Liu Hua,

, everyone's faces were still covered with a thick layer of solemn expressions...

Especially when listening to the constant roars and explosions of fighter planes in the sky. In the huge underground headquarters, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua's tense face almost never relaxed.

"Commander in chief, the latest battle report of the Air Force..." Commander Chen Hong, with a solemn expression, walked directly to Liu Hua and reported.

"Tell me..." Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua, who had some expectations on his face, quickly asked as his eyes lit up.

"The situation is not optimistic... After an hour-long aerial battle, more than half of the fighter regiment dispatched by our air force has been destroyed, and at least 30 fighters have to withdraw from the battlefield due to injuries. So far,

So far, on the entire air combat battlefield, there are only less than a hundred fighters left that are still persisting..." Chen Hong said.

"The loss is so big..." Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua's face, which showed a hint of hope just now, was immediately covered by a solemn expression, and he couldn't help but ask in reply.

However, after thinking about the powerful opponent he was facing, he became silent, and then asked: "Commander Chen, how many trump cards does the Air Force still have that it has not used since the war started?"

"There are only three fighter regiments left..."

"Three fighter regiments, plus less than a hundred fighters left in the air, even if they are all added up, there are only two hundred. What about the Soviet Union, our opponent, the Soviet Union, how many fighter planes have been dispatched in total?" He knew his own air force.

After gaining strength, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua continued to ask with a heavy face.

"On the current air combat battlefield, there are still more than a hundred fighters fighting with us. However, according to radar, the Soviet Air Force's follow-up troops are continuously rushing to the battlefield from the rear. According to the calculations of the Air Force Command, the old enemy troops on the opposite side are

Mao Zi, he must want to gain air superiority over the entire battlefield..." Chen Hong replied.

Losing air supremacy on the battlefield means that in the subsequent battle, his infantry will directly face the double blow of the Lao Maozi Air Force and the ground army. This immediately made Liu Huaxiang realize that in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army, land and sea

The scene when the three armies attacked Shanghai...

The lack of air supremacy directly means that in the next battle, if he wants to hold his position, he will have to use the lives and blood of a large number of soldiers to block the torrent of steel and bullets from Lao Maozi. For a time, the heavy expression on Liu Hua's face became even more intense.

It became thicker. After a brief reflection, he asked Chen Hong in front of him.

"What is the opinion of the Air Force Command..."

"The opinion of the Air Force Command is that even if all the air force is used, it cannot stop the offensive of the Soviet Air Force. In this case, it is better to keep these fighters and continue to hunt and kill Lao Maozi Air Force units in the surrounding areas of the entire air combat battlefield.

A fish that slipped through the net and fought guerrilla warfare with the old Maozi Air Force..." Chen Hong said.

"In other words, they plan to give up air supremacy on the battlefield?" Liu Hua frowned immediately and asked.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief... I think this is a helpless move. After all, our air force is limited in strength. It is impossible for the follow-up troops to rush to the battlefield immediately. Rather than losing all the fighters at once, it is better to slowly

Fighting with Lao Maozi Air Force always gives Lao Maozi Air Force a sense of pressure..." Chen Hong directly expressed his inner thoughts.

Liu Hua nodded noncommittally, quickly turned his attention to several army commanders, and asked: "Comrades, you are also aware of the situation. Now I want you to answer me a question solemnly. After losing the air cover, what will you do?"

Can the three armies be able to withstand Lao Maozi's attack for three days and three nights under the attack of Lao Maozi's air force..."

The three army commanders did not hesitate. After looking at each other, their three faces showed firm expressions. They loudly assured Liu Hua in front of them: "Please rest assured, commander, we are here at the position..."

"Okay, then I will hand over the position to you... Don't worry, during the battle, I, Liu Hua, will do my best to order the limited air force in my hand to reinforce the battlefield as much as possible..." Looking at the people who have experienced it one after another in front of me,

Three veterans of the Long March, the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Hua seemed to have returned to the war-torn era, and he said with the same firm expression.
