After everyone entered the command headquarters, Zhang Lengmo sat down and took off his hat and put it on the table, and said to Wu Jilong with a smile: "Jilong, your Second Armored Division is amazing now, it has completely annihilated Ma Bufang's Second Cavalry Division, and this credit is the first scorpion in the remaining troops in Chahar!" ”

Wu Jilong shook his head and said: "Old Regiment Commander, you have won the award, Chief Su handed over such an armored unit to me, if you can't win the battle when you meet the cavalry division, then I'm too sorry for Chief Su's love!" ”

Zhang Lengmo said with some envy: "Yes, you kid is lucky, I already knew that the armored forces were so powerful, and I also entered the armored academy last year." ”

Wu Jilong smiled: "Old regiment commander, the infantry also has the advantage of infantry, for example, in the attack on Xining City this time, your infantry is the main force, and our armored division can only beat the side drum." ”

"Well, we still have to wait for the arrival of follow-up troops in the past few days, especially Wang Qinglong's Fourth Artillery Division, without the assistance of artillery, it will be difficult for us to knock down the outer fortifications in Xining. And now a lot of supplies still rely on a large number of transport planes. However, now on Chief Su's side, he is also in urgent need of the support of air transport forces, and I don't know if he can take care of us. Zhang said coldly.

The Siberian Chita Command: "Jianming, now that the Soviet Army has three infantry divisions and another tank brigade, the strength of which has arrived in Selenginsk, is it time for our plan to be implemented?" Bai Chongxi smiled and said to the young fellow that Bai Chongxi's mood was still very good when he arrived in Siberia, and Su Tong's trust and delegation of power made him feel like a fish in water.

After entering the General Staff, the more he learned more about the strength of the 37 th Group Army, the more frightened he became, and the 37 th Group Army was first-class in the world today in terms of individual light weapons, heavy firepower, and air power, and was even more advanced than the Soviet Army, which was currently the enemy. It is no wonder that the 37th Group Army did not change its face when it heard that the Soviet army was pressing, and its feelings were confident.

Su Tong thought for a while and asked, "Brother Jiansheng, are our B-17 fleets in place now?" ”

"Now there are three bomber groups, and there are already one and twenty 'flying fortresses' ready for service." For these data, Bai Chongxi is now familiar with it and opens his mouth.

"Well, it's time for them to see how good we are, and in that case, let's start doing it. But be careful, Zhukov rushed back with red eyes. Su Tong thought about it and agreed to the plan drafted by Bai Chongxi himself.

Since Bai Chongxi arrived, he made an air strike plan with reference to the powerful air force strength of the 37th Group Army, and the main purpose was to use the powerful bombing capability of the 'Flying Fortress' to blow Selenginsk into ruins. When Bai Chongxi handed over the plan to Chief Su to see, this guy thought he was dazzled, isn't this the World War II version of carpet bombing? His deputy chief of staff is also too talented, it seems that it is not that there were no talents in China back then, but that the country's strength is too weak, what else is there to say, with a stroke of the pen, it was approved.

Ulan-Ude is considered a large city in Siberia, so there is an airport. It's just that the small airfield, which originally could only park less than 60 fighters, has been expanded by the engineering unit into a large airfield that can accommodate hundreds of fighters since it was occupied by the 37th Group Army, and now the 3rd Air Force Division is stationed here.

The weather in Siberia in May had begun to warm, and at 10 p.m. there was a light rain near the airport, and at night the sky was exceptionally bright, and the bright stars, like jewels, were densely scattered across the vast night sky.

But at this time, the ground staff is busy nervously, on the runway of the airport docked a dense large plane, his more than five meters high fuselage and more than 20 meters long and up to 31 meters of wings all show its giant identity, now the ground staff is busy loading them with bombs and fuel and doing the final routine inspection.

The captains of the three flying groups were giving their members a final account of the bombing points and precautions.

"After arriving at the target area in a while, all the crew members must follow the navigator in front, and when the navigator drops the bomb, you will immediately follow and drop the bomb, and return immediately after the bomb is dropped, and there must not be the slightest delay or hesitation, because the Soviet Russians below will definitely welcome you with anti-aircraft artillery." A group captain looked at the pilots in front of him and said with a very serious face.

"Also, if your plane is shot down and you're lucky enough to land safely on the ground, you must remember to find a place to hide and open the locator in the first aid kit, and he will tell the command where you are so we can find you." Another group leader added.

"Okay, the Xiang team and the Zhou team have said it, I won't say more nonsense, I'll just say one thing, there is no captured air force in Huaxia! You must save the last bullet for yourselves in your pistol. ”

"Yes! Swear to death and not be taken prisoner! A firm oath sounded from among the pilots

At twelve o'clock in the morning, the ground crew reported that everything was ready. With the commander's order, a group of crew members ran to their landline. With the raising of the five signal flares, one after another huge flying fortresses began to glide on the runway, and after gliding for nearly 700 meters, the leading plane finally took to the sky.

On the command tower in the distance, Su Tong was silently looking at this group of brave air warriors, they were the first large-scale sortie, and it was also the first time that the Huaxia Air Force bombed a foreigner's city, this significance is not ordinary, in view of this, Su Tong's heartbeat at this time is also higher than the normal value of Pingshu.

Seeing the huge fleet flying into the sky, Su Tong silently turned around and walked backwards.

Selenginsk was brightly lit at this time, and a small town with only more than 100,000 people suddenly poured into 60,000 or 70,000 troops, and it suddenly seemed extremely crowded.

It was two o'clock in the morning, and the commander of the 13th Tank Brigade of the Soviet Army, Major General Rubievich, was still sitting in his bedroom room at this time, writing a proposal to be handed over to Commander Zhukov. After listening to the tank commander who had fought with the 'Northwest Tiger' tank of the Chinese army, Major General Rubievich felt a deep concern in his heart that his country's tanks were far behind the opposing army. Thinking that he was equipped with a T26 tank gun of only four or five calibers, and then thinking of the other side's 100 caliber tank guns, Major General Rubievich couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness, the gap between the equipment of the two sides was too great, and this battle became more and more difficult to fight.

"Knock Knock"

"Come in!"

The door opened, and the young orderly Kurt walked in with a cup of coffee, he gently put the coffee on the table, turned back to Major General Rubievich and said: "Comrade General, it's late, you better go to bed early." ”

Casually pressing his butt on the ashtray, Major General Rubievich nodded: "Well, thank you dear Comrade Cotter, you should also go to bed early, I will sleep after writing this report." ”

Cotter looked at Major General Rubievich and stopped talking, but finally shook his head and went out. As soon as he walked out of the door, a low roar came from the sky.

"Huh? What is this sound? Kurt was about to say something curiously.

Suddenly, Major General Rubievich's face changed, and he said loudly: "It's not good, it's an air raid, Cott, let's get out quickly!" ”

At this time, the originally quiet street suddenly became lively, and a large number of people poured out, and people were surprised to find that the roar in the sky was getting louder and louder. After a while, the terrible air raid sirens also sounded, and the people on the street listened to this siren that seemed to have never sounded, and after a while, it was like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed, and all of them were in chaos, and the street suddenly became a mess.

At an altitude of 3,000 meters in the sky, Du Ming, the captain of the first bomber group, as the pilot plane flying in the front, was surprised to find that Selenginsk below seemed to have no defense, and when his plane flew over them, it was actually brightly lit below, and Du Ming, who was overjoyed, hurriedly gave the order to drop the bomb to the crew.

"All planes open their doors!"

"Bomb dropping!"

"Bomb dropping!"

As the hatch opened, a string of aviation high-explosive bombs fell down with a sharp whistling sound, and the planes behind saw that they had begun to drop bombs and followed the pilot planes to do the same. After a while, the 120 flying fortresses carrying more than 800 tons of high-explosive bombs fell like dumplings in the small and unknown city of Selenginsk.

For a time, the small city was full of flames and explosions, countless houses were blown down, countless people were buried under the rubble, and the bombardment lasted for twenty minutes before stopping as the roar of the sky gradually faded away.

At this time, the small town was filled with cursing, shouting, and crying, and many of the surviving people were desperately digging through the rubble to try to rescue their loved ones.

When Major General Rubievich and his own orderly, Cott, crawled out of the rubble, the sight before them could not believe their eyes. Is this still the same quiet and neat street as it was just now? At this time, the streets of the town were a hell on earth, full of broken rocks and broken walls, and full of wailing and weeping citizens.

"This is murder, this is naked murder!" Maj. Gen. Rubievich felt his lungs contract and swell violently, and felt like his chest was about to explode.

"Why? Why is that? "Major General Rubievich only felt a sweetness in his throat, a darkening of his eyes, and he knew nothing
