Chapter 139: Andrei's Suggestion

Manitsky Desagoev, commander of the 11th Air Defense Division of the 24th Air Defense Army, commanded under the 308th, 592nd, 777th and 140th, 752nd, and 891st anti-aircraft missile regiments of the Air Defense Army. The www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, and Ge were mainly stationed on Sakhalin and Zekyu Islands, and the division headquarters was stationed in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.

Among them, the 592nd Regiment has just been transferred, the 308th Regiment is about to be replaced by the 41st Regiment, and the 777th Regiment is a bomber regiment.

The main task of the 24th Air Defense Division was to defend Sakhalin, where the Soviets' most important long-range ballistic missile launch positions would be fought, and in the event of a world war, countless pillars of smoke would rise here, and the missiles of revenge would fly to the opposite side of the ocean.

And in peacetime, the combat readiness here is not strong, so in this sudden air battle, the 24 Air Defense Division was completely disgraced, and if it were not for the help of the 513 Regiment of friendly neighbors, their losses would have been even greater!

And after the situation of the battle was reported this time, Manitsky has been terrified, Defense Minister Ustinov is not a good talker, he will definitely be furious, and maybe he will jerk himself off.

Fortunately, after being scolded by Colonel-General Ivan Tretyanko, he was told that he would continue to command the 24th Air Defense Division, and that the ten MiG-25s that flew from Sokolovka were also temporarily under his command, but Andrei, the commander of the 513th Regiment, would serve as the chief of staff to coordinate the continuation of the battle.

That Andrey, just twenty-four years old, had already reached the rank of colonel, deputy commander of the 513 regiment, commander of the Sokolovka base, in the Soviet, except for such a young colonel during the Second World War. There will be no more.

However, Andrey's achievements in the past year can be said to be fully worthy of the rank of colonel, he shot down the American EP-3, personally dealt with the traitor Belenko, shot down several enemy aircraft. Also included is a Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft.

These achievements are the glory of the Far Eastern Military District! And Andrey is a dazzling new star of the Far Eastern Military District!

There are even more gossip rumors that Defense Minister Ustinov attaches great importance to Andrei, which used to be just rumors, but now, almost completely true, Andrei is just the deputy head of a flying regiment. Now he has been promoted again and has come here as a staff officer to coordinate this retaliation against the Americans.

Nominally coordinated, Manitsky knew that it was best for him to consult with Andrei to see if Andrei had any good ideas that could allow the Sakhalin Air Defense Force to restore his dignity.

"Report." Just as Manitsky was thinking about it, a voice came from outside.

"Come in." Manitsky said.

"Deputy Commander of the 513 Regiment of the Far Eastern Territorial Defense Forces Andrei. Come and report. Andrei walked in and said to the man at the table.

This tiger and tiger young man in front of him. It's Andrey! I had seen it in Pravda a long time ago, and Manitsky had a smile on his face: "Andrey, you are already with the rank of colonel, and you have been assigned to help us, so you don't have to be too restrained, come." Have a seat. ”

Andrei's promotion speed can be described as rising on a rocket, and this time he was promoted to a division staff officer again, which is only one level behind the commander of the 24th Division in front of him, in the past. Andrei couldn't even think of it.

Andrei knew that it was all because of Ustinov's promotion, this tough defense minister, who also liked the iron-blooded soldiers under his command, just happened to have an appetite for Ustinov.

And what Andrei doesn't know is the deeper inside story behind it, Ustinov was squeezed out by Kirilenko, and with the help of Andropov, he successfully made Kirilenko lose power, and now Kirilenko, although he has not left the Kremlin, has already plummeted, and Brezhnev no longer calls him at meetings.

And Andrei married Catherine, this matter is naturally known to the ears of the Soviet leadership, and now Ustinov's promotion of Andrei is equivalent to repaying Andropov for this help.

Of course, Ustinov values Andrei's ability more, and over the course of the year, Andrei's ability has been recognized by everyone and can turn any impossible into a possibility.

Now, this unfavorable situation needs to be reversed by Andre.

Andrei is as modest as ever, although he is one level behind, the other party is still his boss, it can be said that the ten MiG-25s he brought are temporarily under the command of the person in front of him, although Andrei is nominally coordinated, but also listen to what the other party has to say.

This battle is not easy to fight, and the disadvantage of generation difference is obvious.

"Andrey, sit down." Manitsky took Andrei's hand, sat on the sofa next to him, and said to Andrei: "Andrey, your support this time is really too timely, the Americans' new fighters are much higher than our fighters!" Now, the pressure from above is tight, and we must do everything we can to deal with the Americans. Andrey, what are your good ideas? ”

Good idea? Andre looked at the person in front of him, since the other party wanted to say it first, then he was not polite.

"The Americans' fighters do have a great advantage." Andrei said: "Our current MiG-25 can only be at high altitude, and if it fights with the other party, it will also be in a disadvantageous situation. However, if we want to win, we still have hope. ”

There is hope for victory! Hearing this, Manitsky suddenly rejoiced in his heart, it would be good to have hope, it would be good to have hope! As a division commander who grew from a pilot to a division commander, Manitsky certainly knew the huge role of aircraft performance, and pilots had to pay a greater price for poor aircraft.

"However, the equipment we have is not enough." Andrei said: "We have to apply to our superiors to transfer us more equipment, first, to transfer the Tu-126 early warning aircraft and the Yak-28PP electronic jamming aircraft to us. ”

In modern air combat, without early warning aircraft and electronic jamming aircraft, it will be quite dangerous, this time, Andrey's fighter was attacked by the American Tomcat fighter, that is, it suffered from the lack of early warning aircraft, land-based long-range radar, can not accurately and effectively detect those sneak attack Tomcat fighters.

If it wasn't Andrey's people who reacted quickly and were attacked by the Immortal Bird missile, there would have been great losses.

Therefore, it is necessary to equip airborne early warning aircraft and electronic jamming aircraft in order to be able to fight this battle well.

"What's the second?" Manitsky continued.

"Second, we need new missiles!" Andrei said solemnly: "This is our nirvana!" (To be continued.) )
