And just as the tank cluster was slowly passing through the trenches, there was a "buzzing" sound in the sky, which was the arrival of the Air Force on the battlefield.

Three squadrons of Warhawk-2 arrived in pairs on the Sino-Soviet battlefield, but they did not immediately participate in the battle.

"The third squad, dive at low altitude, attract the opponent's anti-aircraft fire." A command came to mind in the ears of all pilots.

Twelve fighters of the third squad, having received the order, immediately broke away from the group and swooped down directly from the clouds towards the Soviet positions. And in the dive, they all increased their horsepower, and the speed instantly reached 750 kilometers per hour, which is already the fastest speed of the Warhawk-2.

Twelve warplanes suddenly appeared under the clouds, without warning, and they seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest.

The Soviet air defense forces of the USSR below, seeing the dazzling Chinese dragon flag on the plane, did not need an order at all. Nearly 100 air defense positions opened fire in an instant, and for a time the entire sky was covered with a rain of bullets, and anti-aircraft artillery shells kept exploding in the sky, and shrapnel was shooting in all directions.

However, it was the first time that these Soviet air defenses encountered such a fast plane, and the plane came so suddenly that they were not mentally prepared at all. Although the barrage was dense, they all hit the back of the plane. At the same time, the barrage in front of the plane was also flexibly dodged by the plane. And with a quick maneuvering climb, again flew into the clouds and disappeared into the eyes of the Soviet air defenses.

"The air defense forces called, the Chinese plane attacked, and it was just repulsed by our air defense troops, and disappeared into the sea of clouds." A signal soldier came to Zhukov with a telegram and read. Then the details of the telegram were handed over to Zhukov.

After reading the telegram, Zhukov frowned, and then scolded the case: "A group of stupid pigs, only twelve planes, exposed all the anti-aircraft firepower. Is it all poop in their brains? It is not clear that this is a decoy used to attract anti-aircraft fire. It's stupid. ”

Before, he was annoyed that the front line of defense had been broken through by the Chinese tank cluster, and now that he saw such information, he was quite interested. Immediately made him angry. He didn't need to think too much about it, he knew that it was just twelve planes, which was not the style of the Chinese army at all, and if there were one hundred and twenty planes, it would be about the same. There is simply no explanation other than the explanation of the decoy.

Moreover, even these twelve Chinese planes did not shoot down, and all their anti-aircraft fire points were exposed. I didn't even take the bait, and I made a huge noise. As soon as Zhukov thought of this, his heart was on fire.

However, this also gave Zhukov a wake-up call, and Chinese planes could be dispatched in such weather. Although there was no snow, the clouds in the sky were still thick, and the airfield was covered with heavy snow, so the Chinese side could dispatch fighter planes. This was somewhat unexpected by Zhukov.

"Immediately send a telegram to each airport and ask if you can take off and land planes." Zhukov said.

A minute later, the signal corpsman got up with a telegram and said: "Calls from various airports, snow clearing work is already underway, at least until noon, and there is no way for the plane to take off during this time." ”

"Call back to the airports and tell them to speed up the snow clearing, and the Chinese plane is now flying over us. I only gave them two hours, and our plane had to take off immediately to meet it. Zhukov was a little unhappy when he heard such a callback. The war has already slowed down, and if even the air force, the last sharp weapon, is one step slower than China, then the prospects for this war will be even less optimistic.

"Send electricity to the air defense forces and immediately prepare for a large-scale air attack on China. Also, let me ask, how is the anti-tank minefield in front being prepared? Zhukov thought for a moment and spoke again.

"The minefield is already being urgently constructed, and according to the latest intelligence, Chinese tanks have gradually crossed the anti-tank trenches of the second line of defense, and nearly a hundred tanks in the vanguard are moving towards our minefield. It is expected to arrive in another twenty minutes. The signal corpsman took the latest telegram and read: "The air defense unit called back, the message: We will absolutely let the Chinese planes come and go." ”

"So fast." Zhukov muttered in his heart that he was surprised by the speed at which the Chinese tank crossed the anti-tank trenches. According to his estimates, it would take at least an hour, and he did not expect that in such a short time, nearly a hundred tanks had already crossed the trenches.

"Order the troops in the front, no matter how fast they lay mines, they must set up the minefield before the opponent's tanks arrive." Zhukov then spoke: "Ask where our tank units are?" ”

"The tank swarm called, and it would take them half an hour at the fastest to reach the minefield."

"The tank group was ordered to overcome all difficulties and reach the predetermined place before the opposing tank forces passed through the minefield. In this way, it is possible to take advantage of the minefield to destroy the Chinese tanks. ”

None of these updates will satisfy Zhukov. But he has no choice, and now he can only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven.

At this time, he picked up a newspaper sent by fax on the table, read the contents of the newspaper roughly, and was quite annoyed. Again in his heart, he cursed: "Capitalism is more annoying than imperialism, a bunch of gloating bastards." ”

The Sino-Soviet war could not hide from the world at all, especially the shelling of both sides, and it could not be concealed even if they wanted to. And neither side made a move to cover up the matter. At this time, all countries in the world are living like all kinds of life, there are happy and good, there are those who secretly fanning the flames, and those who also want to appeal for peace, and more people are there to watch the excitement.

Every time he saw the media reports of Britain, France and Japan, especially those second-rate countries that kept belittling the Soviet Union, Zhukov was unhappy for a while. But he was not happy, and he didn't have the heart to care about it now. What's more, you can say whatever you like in the newspaper, and you can't stop it.

Seeing the Chinese side's report on this matter, Zhukov was also quite helpless. The content in the newspaper is very pertinent, not exaggerated, and there is no opportunity to hype. After all, the Soviet soldiers did kill two Chinese and rob the goods of the Chinese merchants, which he knew very well. However, these facts have had a great impact on the international reputation of the Soviet Union, although the Soviet Union has repeatedly denied it, but after the Chinese businessman gave an interview, and dug out the wound of the Soviet standard rifle bullets, these have made the Soviet side's denial very pale.

Soviet newspapers, on the other hand, have repeatedly condemned China for making up excuses and taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. Although China has come up with conclusive evidence, the Soviet media's own media have repeatedly refused to admit it.

Just as Zhukov was looking at the newspaper, there was a piercing beep in the sky. And these voices also reached the ears of Zhukov, who was staying in the underground bunker. Hearing this voice, which he had often heard before, Zhukov secretly said in his heart: I hope that these anti-aircraft firepower can be supported, at least until his fighter can take off to meet the battle.

In the eyes of the Soviet air defenses, a large number of planes suddenly burst out of the dark clouds. And these planes are very fast, in the blink of an eye, these planes are already within reach.

As in the first time, almost a hundred anti-aircraft fire points opened fire again, and for a time the entire air was filled with barrages. However, this time, it was not only the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns that were singing a one-man show, but the Chinese Air Force did not show weakness, and countless aerial bombs continued to counterattack.

For a time, the entire Soviet position was full of bullets, especially over the main defensive ring of the Kyakhta military base, and the rain of bullets was even more intensive. These nearly 100 anti-aircraft fire points were composed of three anti-aircraft artillery divisions of the Soviet Union, and they were the most powerful anti-aircraft firepower in this war except for the airfields.

The Soviet air defense forces are all working hard, but the performance of the Chinese Air Force is also very good, and the chaotic flight trajectory makes the Soviet air defense forces below not know where to aim.

One hundred and eight Warhawk-2s were like ghosts in the air, nimbly dodging the strafing anti-aircraft fire. Rapid advances, nimble maneuvers, and a dancing flight trajectory. Let the Soviet air defense forces aimed below almost go crazy.

In the face of those fixed anti-aircraft firepower, the counterattack of the Warhawk-2 group was very sharp. Unlike the previous Warhawk-2, today's Warhawk-2 has been upgraded and modified. The original 12.7 mm aviation machine gun has now been replaced with a 20 mm aviation gun, and the rate of fire has been increased. Add thicker armor to increase your chances of surviving on the battlefield. Originally, this improved Warhawk-2 was to be called Warhawk-3, but the appearance and main performance did not change much, and it did not meet the standard of Warhawk-3 in Chen Shao's heart, so the name of Warhawk-2 was still maintained.

The whirring sound of the planes diving, the fierce aviation guns, and the anti-aircraft fire points that were strafed were all there were heavy casualties on the part of the personnel for a while. And many of the anti-aircraft machine guns that were directly hit by the machine guns were directly exploded. However, the show did not end there, as the plane flew over the anti-aircraft fire point, and the bomb under the belly of the plane was dropped. There is no need for a direct hit, just an explosion around the point of anti-aircraft fire, and a 500-kilogram bomb is enough to destroy an object within a radius of eighty meters. Even anti-aircraft guns will be blown down by the shock wave generated by the explosion and lose their combat effectiveness.

However, in the face of such dense anti-aircraft firepower, the Chinese side did not lose at all.

"Unit 58, your plane is already smoking, I order you, leave the battlefield immediately and quickly."

"No. 72, your engine is on fire, I order you to immediately abandon the plane and parachute over our troops."

As the leader of the first group, you must always pay attention to the safety of your comrades. When he saw that the pilots who were going to continue to participate in the attack despite the damage to the plane, he would give them a mandatory order to withdraw from the battlefield. Saving your life is the number one priority.

The Soviet air defense troops underground could only watch as the planes that were hit staggered towards China. It's not that they didn't think of taking advantage of your illness to kill you and shoot down those injured and smoking planes. But it would be nice to be able to injure, and in the face of those planes that wanted to withdraw from the battle, they simply could not stop them. Even if the plane is injured, as long as the entire plane is not able to move, plus the cover of other aircraft, it is not difficult to get out of the battlefield at all.

The battle for the open field is in full swing, and the armored confrontation below is about to begin.
