Long Sujin walked into his office and saw a thick stack of reports on the situation on the western border marked "top secret" and "expedited" on the desk of his desk. He sat in his swivel chair and skimmed through the reports. I thought to myself, all military divisions are also true, and they will report any situation to me. In order to attract the attention of their superiors, those people at some border posts are really fucking pediatrics, and in order to attract the attention of their superiors, they always deliberately exaggerate the facts, explain how dangerous their situation is, how great the difficulties they face, and say that they are bigger than the sky

Long Sujin casually threw the reports on the table, then got up and slowly paced to the window. In February in Xinjiang Province, the snow outside the window is dazzling, there is no trace of red and grass, and the dry and cold air seems to have dried up the moisture. This ghost place can't be compared with Guangzhou, Long Sujin cursed angrily.

At this time, Wang Dongxu, the staff officer on duty, hurriedly walked in with the relevant telegram and telephone records of the border posts of various military subdivisions from the evening of the 15th to the morning of the 16th, startled Long Sujin, who was in a daze in front of the window, turned around and asked angrily: "What is the matter in a panic?" I broke in without reporting, so unruly! ”

"I'm sorry! Commander, emergency! Staff Officer Wang Dongxu put the telegram and telephone records in his hand on the table and said: "From yesterday to this morning, Wang Xinguang of the Tacheng Military Sub-district made three phone calls and reported that there must be a major military operation by the Soviet army on the other side. Please ask if the routine patrols will be canceled and the troops will be put into combat mode. Just now, the chief of staff of the southern part of the Tacheng Military Sub-district reported that Wang Xinguang had ordered the frontier regiment and the agricultural reclamation regiment under the Tacheng Military Sub-district to enter the position. ”

"Phew" Long Sujin spit out the toothpick in his mouth, glared at his eyes and roared loudly: "Fuck! This Wang Xinguang has eaten bear heart and leopard gall! What does he want to do if he dares to move troops without the permission of the military region? Immediately ordered him to bring the troops back to me. ”

"Commander Long, it is indeed time to let the front-line troops enter the position immediately," Wang Dongxu said cautiously, "The command of the Far East Corps also told us last night that the Soviet troops on the Western Front have completed preparations for an attack and may attack us at any time. Let's be ready for battle and ready for battle. ”

"Then he Wang Xinguang can't move troops without the approval of his superiors! Besides, what does this have to do with canceling routine patrols or not. ”

"Commander Long, the Tacheng Military Sub-district has just reported that the patrol is now being ambushed by a motorized infantry battalion of the Soviet Army 10 kilometers east of Tirikti, and according to the intelligence transferred by the Far East Corps, a motorized infantry division of the Central Asian Military District of the Soviet Army has been assembled there. If you don't go on patrol, you can avoid this ambush. The normal line of defense of their 3rd Frontier Company should have been set up in the preset position on the Gara Hills, 7 kilometres away from there. ”

"Then let them retreat to the preset positions of Mount Gala." Long Sujin said with a frown.

"How could a patrol of about 70 people with only infantry and light weapons be ambushed by an armored battalion of the Soviet army and withdraw from the Gobi Desert in Pingchuan?" Wang Dongxu secretly wondered in his heart how this Second B became the commander of the military region, and said helplessly: "Wang Xinguang led the guard company of the division to pick up the patrol, and it seems that he is also very lucky."

In fact, it is not Long Su Jin 2b, it should be said that he is also a person who has experienced a hundred battles, and has been fighting with Mr. Lin from Jinggangshan to the liberation of the country, and he has deep feelings. Always a follower of Mr. Lin. In the past few years in Guangzhou, since the liberation of the country, there has been no war in the south, and some things are the affairs of the navy and air force, so he only talks about "politics" and focuses on politics, and ignores military affairs at all. Especially after arriving in Xinjiang Province, he was faced with so many things at once, and he couldn't calm down to study and understand the situation, which was about to cause a big incident.

"Jingle bell, jingle bell" A rush of phone calls. Long Sujin picked up the red line phone on the table, "I'm Long Sujin, ah, it's Mr. Peng." You okay? ”

"Why hasn't your front-line troops been deployed yet!"

"Ah, that's it, this, this unit, is unfolding, we have now sent blocking troops, ah, blocking the Soviet troops in the Tirikti area, ah, the troops of the Tacheng Army Division I have ordered them to enter the position. Other directions are also being unfolded."

"Long Sujin, don't talk nonsense with me! You don't need a company of troops to block an armored division, do you arrange it like this? Let me tell you, according to the bear hunting plan, you must block the Soviet army for at least 5 days on the first line and 10 days on the second line. Don't be a child's play, no one can save you if something goes wrong! Mr. Peng said loudly on the phone

Commander Wu Di was very busy in the Air Force Headquarters of the Western Theater of the Far East Corps at the Urumqi Airport Guest House; because the tasks of the Air Force of the Western Theater were relatively heavier, this time, the Air Force of the Shannan Military Region, including some of the bases stationed in Dongba and the South Asian People's Republic, and most of the Air Force of Tibet Province, and even the old American planes such as the F80 fighter bombers and B-24 bombers of the former TW were transferred to the Western Theater.

The chief of staff of the South of the Tacheng Military Sub-district made a direct call to the command room of the Air Force Command of the Western Theater: "I am Nan Zhongzhou, chief of staff of the Tacheng Military Sub-district, and I have an emergency to report to Commander Wu Di. ”

"I'm Donna, the operational staff officer, and Commander Wu is very busy, tell us what you have first."

"This morning, our patrol of 71 men was ambushed by a Soviet motorized infantry battalion 10 kilometers east of Tirikti and was completely wiped out. Prior to this, Wang Xinguang, the commander of the military division, led a company to meet him, but he was also entangled by the Soviet army and could not retreat, so he asked you to provide air support and rescue these soldiers. ”

"All the planes have been fully arranged according to plan, and besides, this matter should be carried out by the Provincial Military District Operations Department and us"

"Comrade Donna, Commander Wang Xinguang has worked in the Indian Special Service and is very familiar with Commander Deng Feng," Nan Zhongzhou, chief of staff of the Tacheng Military Division, interrupted Donna's "official tone", feeling that he should move out at this time, Wang Xinguang was Deng Feng's comrade-in-arms in the Indian Special Service Committee, in order to increase the weight of his own speech as a lieutenant colonel of the military division, "It was Wang Xinguang who asked me to report directly to Commander Wu Di and ask for air support." ”

"Okay, I'll transfer the phone to Commander Wu immediately." , it's still Deng Feng's comrade-in-arms' card is hard, it's really good. Nanzhongzhou couldn't help but think in his heart.

Actually, Donna was right, all the planes were lined up with plans. The only unplanned ones were her husband, Commander Wu Di's own JH7 Flying Leopard mount, and the six B24 bombers and 12 F-80 Thunder Bombers that were transferred from Qinghai to Karamay Field Airport yesterday. The situation of the Tacheng Military Division's request for air support must be very urgent, even if it is not Commander Deng Feng's comrades-in-arms, he should go all out to rescue these soldiers. Of course, Deng Feng's comrades-in-arms still have a little effect, and everyone knows that those who can work in the Printing Work Committee are not ordinary soldiers, let alone die without help.

After receiving a call from the Tacheng Military Division, Wu Di immediately contacted Karamay Airport and arranged for three B24 bombers and six F-80 Thunder fighters to be dispatched urgently. At the same time, the "Hunter" helicopter gunship of the Army Airlines, which had just been replacing the battle-damaged rotor at Karamay Airport, also took part in the air support operation, and personally flew the JH7 to act as an air command plane and provide air cover.

Six F-80C fight-bombers were armed with six 12.7-mm machine guns, and two 40-hole 57-mm rocket nests and two 250-kilogram napalm were hung under the wings. At a speed of more than 900 kilometers per hour, a group of Vultures, like vultures, took the lead in reaching the sky above Tirikti, and suddenly, they swooped down with a sharp roar, bombarding the Soviet motorized infantry division, completely disrupting the wave charge of the Soviet armored troops, and providing battlefield support to Wang Xinguang and his guard company.

Due to Wu Di's JH7 on the early warning and vigilance, he has absolute air supremacy. In addition, there is no opponent in the air, although the Soviet T55 tank also has 12,7 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, but how can it withstand the 6 12.7 mm machine guns on the F-80C battle bomber.

The F-80C fight-bomber was nicknamed "Oil Picker" when it was on the Korean battlefield because it was equipped with two large fuel tanks on the wingtips of its wings, and many of the pilots who flew these "Oil Pickers" F-80C fight-bomber planes were pilots of the former Kuomintang Air Force, and these people had a good technical foundation, and in addition to the "education and transformation" of the past 10 years, they were even more powerful than the "oil pickers." When they started a war, it was called a fierce fight, and they had no scruples about fighting old Maozi. With the flash of fire, 57-mm armor-piercing shells dragged a long tail flame and fired at the thin top armor of the T55 tanks in front of the Soviet troops and the V-2-55 water-cooled 520-horsepower diesel engines behind them. A condescending blow is absolutely fatal for a tank. Suddenly, more than 10 tanks were blown into a ball of burning fire.

The pilots of these F-80C fight-bomber planes of the Chinese Air Force flew at an ultra-low altitude against the bustling infantry charge group that followed behind the Soviet tank cluster, and even went so low that they blew off the hats of the Soviet soldiers when they dived, and fired unscrupulously at these old hairy people, and the six 12.7-mm machine guns mounted on the F-80C fight-bomber planes swept away the lives of Soviet officers and men like autumn winds sweeping away leaves.

The 12 napalm of 250 kg turned into flames of revenge, and gave them the "enthusiasm" to use on the Chinese patrol at noon. This warm hospitality of the Chinese Air Force towards the Soviet invading forces has only just begun. It can only be regarded as an appetizer before the meal, and the three B24 bombers that followed it delivered the main meal. This kind of B24 bomber produced in the early 40s of the United States has a very easily recognizable fuselage and twin vertical tails, and at the same time has a stout fuselage with a very strong practical surname, and its upper and lower front and rear and left and right sides are equipped with self-defense guns, a total of 12 12.7 mm machine guns, forming a powerful firepower network, so it is also called "Flying Fortress". The wings are equipped with four air-cooled R1830 piston engines. There is a transparent bomb sighting bay in the nose, followed by a multi-person cockpit, and then a bomb bay with a large capacity for various bombs.

In command of these three B24 bombers was Liu Benshan, a captain and flight staff officer of the Kuomintang Air Force, who flew the first B-24 bomber that had just been received from the United States in 1946 to arrive at the Yan'an Uprising, and is currently the commander of the 53rd Division of the Chinese Air Force. At the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949, Liu Benshan piloted the B24 bomber to lead the review group, and he can definitely be called one of the founders of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force. Today, he once again flew this obsolete B-24 bomber to make new contributions to the defense of the motherland.

He commanded the three B24 bombers to whizz and dive and drop bombs at the Soviet tank cluster, sitting in the bomb dropping column in the transparent bomb throwing bay in the nose, turning on the altimeter power switch, setting the bomb drop height on the altimeter, and constantly staring at the indicator light on the altimeter, and immediately pressing the bomb dropping button after the light was on, pouring anti-tank submunitions on the Soviet tanks below.

This mother bomb with dozens of bullets is specially designed to attack tanks. It is composed of a mother projectile body, a bullet, a projectile, a thrust plate, a fuse, etc. When the mother bomb is dropped over the tank group, under the action of the timing fuse, the mother bomb body is opened, and the bullet group is thrown out by the projectile, and the energy gathering effect of the loaded explosive is used to penetrate the top armor of the tank.

Suddenly, the tanks and armored vehicles of the Soviet army were smashed with holes, smoke, and fire. The orderly armored clusters of the Soviet troops were blown up into a mess. The Soviet tanks and armored vehicles were blown up, and the panicked Soviet tanks and armored vehicles were scurrying around in the unsheltered Gobi Desert, looking for a place to hide.

With the loud sound of the explosion, the entire battlefield was filled with flames and gunsmoke, and the Gobi Desert was full of burned destroyed Soviet T55 tanks and vehicles and the corpses of Soviet officers and soldiers lying on their grounds. The Chinese Air Force used this kind of air raid by American aircraft during World War II to bring a huge psychological impact to the Soviet army, and the morale of the Soviet army began to waver.

Under the blows of these old aircraft from World War II, they caused great damage to the powerful armored cluster of the Soviet army and killed and wounded a large number of Soviet infantry. It dealt a great blow to the offensive spirit of the Soviet army. The Soviet officers and men could not believe that the armored motorized infantry division, which the Soviet Union was proud of, was so vulnerable. They have not yet figured out that in the absence of air supremacy, no matter how powerful the ground armor cluster is, it can only be a snack in the mouth of an eagle in the air.
