At five o'clock in the morning, just before the armored cluster set off and the general attack officially began, Zhang Shusheng sat in front of the compound eye battlefield observation system of the underground science and technology center on time, and opened the communication channel of Mao Yunxian, secretary general of the head of the Unicom base camp.

It's just that at the first end of the visual system, Mao Yunxian uses an older color display, which is the latest display in China today, while Zhang Shusheng uses 3D images that have been simulated by a communication system. In Mao Yunxian's view, he was reporting to Zhang Shusheng in the video, and Zhang Shusheng's end seemed to be Mao Yunxian standing in front of him to talk, which is the advanced point of the communication system attached to the compound eye system.

"Drop!" With a bang, the compound eye system was officially activated.

"The system is loading, please wait for ......"

About two seconds later, a faint light emitted from the laser end of the compound eye system, creating a 3D image not far in front of Zhang Shusheng, and from his point of view, that is, from the perspective of the plane, the entire defense line below was in the skyrocketing flames and violent explosions.

Not to mention being immersive, it was the battlefield synchronization picture transmitted back by the compound eye system that made Zhang Shusheng feel the huge destructive power of the war, and the originally impregnable Komsomolsk defense line was pinned on by the allies, and the Komsomolsk defense line, which was known as the strongest defense line in the east, was caught off guard by the bombardment planes as soon as it came up.

More advanced weapons, more powerful shells and bombs, the result was a large number of casualties and the destruction of strong fortifications.

"Mark the exact location of the battlefield below!!"

Zhang Shusheng said to Zhang Yi, the housekeeper of the underground science and technology center next to him.

"Yes, boss!"

I didn't see what Zhang Yiduo did, and the silent command was sent out from the mind of the robot butler, and the compound eye battlefield observation system immediately marked the distribution map of the Gongqingcheng defense line stored inside, and quickly marked the situation below.

There are some more remarks composed of circles and straight lines on the 3D image, and Zhang Yi replaces the electronic synthesis sound of the compound eye system, and after receiving the data of the system, he personally explains it to Zhang Shusheng.

"The first and second lines of defense, the third line of defense have been basically destroyed, and the key penetration areas have been torn apart into no-man's land more than two or three kilometers wide, and in the plan, these positions will be the passages for the breakthrough of armored clusters.

Now the bombardment of the fourth and fifth lines of defense has just begun, and five minutes later, after the last extension of artillery fire, the armored group will storm Komsomolsk at dawn under artillery and air cover! ”

According to the battlefield data of the compound eye system and the battle plan entered by the scientific and technological personnel of the base camp, Zhang Yi's performance can even be called an excellent staff officer, and he can be said in a logical manner. His words don't have much subjective logic, but they are combinatorically analyzed through mathematical logic.

Zhang Shusheng recalled the relevant details of the plan, the reason why this wave of bomber air raids did not bomb Komsomolsk at the beginning was to better destroy the defense line and create conditions for the breakthrough of the armored cluster.

Although the aerial bombardment could blow up the military fortress of Komsomolsk into ruins, it was still necessary to occupy it and encircle millions of Allied troops.

"How long does it take for the second wave of bombers to reach the skies over the battlefield."

Zhang Shusheng asked.

Zhang Yi paused slightly, and then said: "According to the system calculation, the second wave of bombers is flying over the Komsomolsk defense line under the protection of a large number of air supremacy fighters, and some of them will continue to bomb the defense line and cover the tank cluster, and the main force will bomb the airports, oil depots, barracks, power stations, and material warehouses in various important places and nearby areas in the inner city of Komsomolsk under the escort of air supremacy fighters. ”

If the distance is calculated from the city of Ningguta, which is firmly under the control of the Wehrmacht, Ningguta is less than 150 kilometers from the old Chinese border, and Ningguta is about 80 kilometers from Komsomolsk, so that even a bomber group taking off from near the northeastern border, under the escort of a sufficiently powerful fighter group, can bomb all strategic targets north and west of Komsomolsk up to the sea.

As for the northwest direction, where the main forces of the US military and the air force base are located, it is somewhat beyond the reach of the whip, and it is also destined to have a decisive battle between China and the United States in the Far East Air Force.

From time to time, a small circular icon representing radar appeared on the 3D image, from above, Zhang Shusheng saw a large group of flashes of light surrounding the red dot representing Komsomolsk, and at the same time, in the opposite direction, a much smaller moving dot of light was also approaching at high speed.

It seems that the escort group of the second wave of aircraft will also need to deal with the counterattack group of the Allies that have taken off urgently.

There are also not many Allied planes, about 100 of them, compared with the scale of hundreds of escort planes, they are like moths to the fire, but they are still approaching at high speed, there is no absolute right or wrong in the war, in the final analysis, it is the difference between the camps, and the more serious ones are racial disputes between China and China, which is a kind of battle in living space.

Picking up a cup of tea, Zhang Shusheng began to observe this medium-scale air battle exposed to the compound eye system carried by the high-altitude reconnaissance plane.

"The American F86 Sabre and the Soviet MiG-9."

There were more than 100 Allied aircraft, none of which were propeller fighters, all jet fighters, and at this time, the planes that could take off in a hurry for night battles, the practical surname of propeller planes and even the speed was far inferior to that of jet fighters.

The Chinese Air Force was greeted by twice as many Tianlong jet fighters, and 200 Tianlong fighters in groups of long wingmen frantically slaughtered Soviet and American jet fighters.

The numbers on the small radar icon on the screen, which represented the situation of this jet battle between the two sides, kept beating, and at the fastest time, Zhang Shusheng blinked his eyes, and the Allied planes were actually 2 less, which was too amazing.

In less than 3 minutes, after about 40 Allied fighters were shot down, the remaining Allied planes no longer dared to fight, and fled frantically, and the Tianlong fighters of the Chinese Air Force pursued dozens of kilometers and then pulled up at a large angle to return to the sky near the Komsomolsk defense line.

A hastily launched air support battle by the Allies ended in the Allies fleeing.

First, the Chinese Air Force has an absolute numerical superiority, and in terms of quality, it is more than one step ahead of the Sabre and MiG.

The gap is even greater in the fighting tactics of jet fighters, China's jet fighters were successfully developed earlier, pilot training was earlier, and there is Zhang Shusheng, a figure who defy the sky, knowing that the next few decades will be the jet age, so the precautionary action is very large, providing a wealth of air combat textbooks in the jet age as teaching materials for troops and flight academies, making the Republic far ahead of other countries in the training of jet fighter pilots.

Since the Great Air Battle, a large number of excellent jet fighter pilots have been emerging, and the best super ace pilots of a certain air force unit have shot down a total of 350 enemy planes since they entered the war, and this super ace pilot, together with other jet fighter pilots, is surpassing their predecessors at a very fast speed, those heroes who have won the honor of ace pilots and super ace pilots in the era of propeller aircraft.

Although the Wehrmacht also suffered certain losses, all of them managed to parachute, and their fate was at least much stronger than that of the Allied pilots who were blown up in the air.

...... "Comrade Zhukov, Comrade Cherevchenko, it is no longer safe here, Chinese have already begun to bomb Komsomolsk, which they consider our last line of defense. The only available jet fighter in our vicinity had taken off urgently, but it had failed, and the remaining propeller fleet had little to do. It's too close to Komsomolsk, just in case ......"

The deputy chief of staff of the Red Army in the Far East, Gorbaye, walked up to Zhukov and the commissar, General Cherevichenko, and reported uneasily.

"Are our air defense forces ready? At the very least, their arrogance should be combated. Zhukov didn't seem to hear the words of the deputy chief of staff at all, but asked about the air defense signals in the city.

"Report Comrade Marshal, at present there are only three emergency backup radars in the entire Komsomolsk that can be turned on, and we are carrying out new radars in the combat readiness warehouse, but it will take three or four hours at the earliest to install and start working, which is already the fastest speed.

The air defense alarm has been sounded, all the air defense searchlights have been turned on, and the anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine gun units are ready to fight back against the Chinese invaders. ”

Gorbaye paused and said, these are battlefield emergency plans, and there is no need for Zhukov, the supreme commander, to give an order.

"How many troops are there now to restore communications? Is there 50 divisions? ”

Zhukov adjusted his psychological expectations to the minimum, although he knew that in just a few tens of minutes, in such a difficult period, not every division would be able to have sufficient radio equipment and reserves, and before the Americans came, not to mention these things, even food and drink were lacking. Of course, the Americans are not God, these battlefield communications equipment are equally expensive, and the Americans do not have the wealth to arm these millions of Soviet troops in a short period of time according to the standards of the US military.

"At present, there are 27 divisions of the troops that have restored contact, of which there are ten divisions of the fourth and fifth lines of defense, 10 divisions on the flanks of the defense line, and 7 divisions in the area near Komsomolsk."

Deputy Chief of Staff Gorbaye bowed his head and said. He didn't even dare to say that several of the divisions relied on scouts on horseback to maintain contact, and for a time, most of the radio equipment of the million-dollar Soviet army was destroyed, and many troops, not only could not contact the division headquarters, but even the battalions and regiments under the division had to rely on running and riding horses to contact the higher organizations.

The entire Komsomolsk defense line was simply chaotic. The Soviet army, which lacked these wireless communication equipment, naturally used each one of them as much as possible, but when it encountered high-intensity interference, most of these old-fashioned equipment were damaged.

Of course, the Soviet troops on the first, second, and third lines of defense, who were ten divisions smaller, were trapped, killed, frightened, and scared into the ground, and they were also an astonishing number of Soviet troops.

The Soviet army in the entire Komsomolsk defense line is about 1.1 million, and there are 400,000 people distributed on the left side of the Komsomolsk battlefield facing China, and there is a 1.9 million army defending by the sea on the right side.

"Only such a small number of troops?"

Zhukov frowned tightly, and then ordered: "Select some elite divisions from these units to form a counterattack group, quickly enter Komsomolsk after the air raid, and order the tank units to assemble covertly and be ready to counter the Chinese offensive at any time." Reinforcements to positions outside the city should be launched at the right time, and do not fear sacrifice. ”

In the face of the imminent bombardment of Komsomolsk by the Chinese, Zhukov understood very well that once the front several lines of defense were quickly torn apart, the defense line still had to be defended. As long as the Chinese do not use poison gas, he is very confident that he will rely on Komsomolsk to hold on for a period of time, and when the remaining hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops and more than 500,000 US troops behind the Komsomolsk defense line, as well as the Yue army on the right that has not yet been attacked on a large scale, it will be difficult for the Chinese to really take the Komsomolsk defense line.

"Yes!"

Gorbaye was about to turn to leave, but he heard Zhukov stop him.

"If the situation is urgent, a force can be immediately arranged to blow up some fortifications and buildings, and lay some anti-tank mines as an obstacle to block the Chinese armored troops from entering the city."

This is the best way Zhukov can come up with to stop the Chinese from quickly taking Komsomolsk with armored forces.

He did not know how long the fourth and fifth lines of defense could be defended, and in the face of this intensity of artillery bombardment and aerial carpet bombardment, if the powerful armored clusters of the Chinese were added, they would not even need to use the mobile detour of the tank forces to attack Komsomolsk, they only needed to pour in directly from the gap in the defensive line to break through.

"Boom ......"

At this moment, a violent explosion sounded, and Komsomolsk began to be heavily bombed by Chinese bombers, and at this time, thousands of Soviet planes nearby had taken off urgently, but even the final gathering of more than 300 aircraft was defeated by the Chinese's powerful jet fighter group.

Like wolves, the Chinese escort planes frantically pounced on any Allied aircraft trying to regain air supremacy over Komsomolsk, and after heavy losses, these planes had to flee in embarrassment, but a considerable number were shot down.

The magnitude of the battle was impossible for Zhukov, who was hiding in the underground command center, to understand the extent of the battle, which was also some distance from Komsomolsk, and the command in Komsomolsk was only one Red Army lieutenant general officer in charge at this time.

In Komsomolsk City, violent explosions continued to blow up in this military fortress-like city, and houses were directly destroyed one by one by heavy aerial bombs falling from the sky without the Soviets blowing down.

"Report, our underground bunker in the city has been blown through! Great losses!! ”

After hearing this report, Zhukov could no longer hold back, and despite the dissuasion, he walked out of the underground command center with a telescope and looked at the burning Komsomolsk in the distance.

His bitter eyes seemed to reflect the huge bunker under Komsomolsk, which contained three entire Red Army divisions, who had been staying in this underground barracks that they talked about in this excavated city like a military fortress, and now the Chinese actually used new bombs that could drill into the ground.

"Someone! Immediately send a telegram to General Bradley and the commander of the army, Yamashita Fufumi......"

At this time, the Komsomolsk was in a state of panic, and most of the soldiers in the ground barracks were either killed by the explosion while running through the streets, crushed by the collapsed buildings, or burned to death.

The air defense forces did not play a role in application, not that they could not defend themselves, but that there were too many Chinese aircraft, and their removal of anti-aircraft fire was not at all the use of fighters to strafe at low altitudes, but where they fired, they dropped a large number of bombs, as if there was never a shortage of bombs.

Ivan was a sheller carrying anti-aircraft artillery shells, and the sound of the earth-shattering aircraft engines even drowned out the shrill air defense sirens in the city.

The anti-aircraft artillery company he was in only fired for two minutes before being blown up by a bunch of bombs falling from the sky.

When they ran up with the bomb box, they saw a huge crater, and all the officers and men of the original anti-aircraft artillery company and the anti-aircraft guns were dead.

Ivan and his comrades had no choice, and after being injured several times by the flying debris, they frantically rushed back to the underground bunker, which led to the main barracks of the Soviet army underground.

During the several years of war with Yue himself, the Soviets did not dare to be careless, at least the barracks could not be stationed on the surface, and the Yue army was very fond of repeatedly launching large-scale charges in one place, and if there were not enough reserve troops behind the defense line, Komsomolsk would not be able to withstand it for several years.

As a result, underground bunker barracks appeared, and since then, Soviet soldiers have eaten and slept safely, and today, everything has changed.

"There are too many planes for the Chinese."

"It's completely impossible to resist."

"What about our Air Force?"

"And what about the Americans' Air Force?"

…… The Soviet officers and men discussed the battle on the ground with each other, each holding their guns tightly in their hands, and they vowed to use their weapons to fight back at the Chinese, just as they would counter their own provocations against the defensive line.

Ivan did not speak to the others, but sat quietly there, his hands in the pockets of his clothes, clutching tightly a cross that his mother had given him before he joined the army.

"The great Soviet Union will guide you to the battlefield, but the merciful God will guide you home."

This was the advice that Ivan's mother gave to Ivan when she saw him off in his hometown of Siberia.

"Mom, when I finish killing the Chinese, I will go back, God will guide me back to you, and to hell with the Bu-er-Shviks."

Ivan prayed silently in his heart, at this moment, after being overly frightened just now, he now hates the Chinese and the Soviet Union like never before, one provoked a war, the other forced him to go to the battlefield to protect the country? Why protect? All I need to do is be with my mother.

Boom Boom Boom ...... The explosions became more and more intensive, and the bunkers that were not dug deep had begun to shake off a large amount of dust, and the officers and men who had been arguing also began to look up at the roof of the cave where dust and stones were constantly falling.

"I heard that Chinese used a two-story bomber in the bombing of the book......"

Everyone cursed the war in their hearts, prayed for safety, and talked about the awesomeness of the Chinese with a smile in their mouths.

"Ivan, the political commissar said, when the Chinese attack later, we will go to the position and bet with me that we will kill more Chinese pigs."

A tall Soviet soldier with a haze in his eyes walked up to Ivan, stared at him and said.

"Good! I'm going to kill more than you. ”

"Yes, I'll bet on your cross with my deck of cards." The tall man found that it was important to have a cross in his hand when he had been playing so badly, and he knew that Ivan had a cross of God, which was said to be very spiritual.

"If you ask for my cross, I'll kill you." Ivan didn't care about the commissar at all, not far away, and warned uncharacteristically fiercely. The latter waved his hand and said, "Ivan, I don't bet with you who kills more, let's bet, maybe you will be killed in the next minute." Hahaha......"

The laughter didn't last long, and soon a ground-penetrating aerial bomb fell from the underground bunker, which was only a few meters thick, into the bunker.

Rumble! With a bang, the bomb exploded in the underground bunker, and there were immediately casualties in the bunker.

"Hahaha, you're going to lose, you're going to lose, you're going to lose......"

Perhaps he was too frightened, and when he saw that the bunker was blown through not far away, and even the stone wall of the bunker was blown down, the tall man danced excitedly.

"I lost ......"

Ivan muttered, and then said to himself: "I will never lose, and I will go to God even if I die, and let God give me the ability to take revenge on Chinese......"

In the extreme fright of everyone, another round of ground-penetrating bombs finally penetrated the ground, blew through the top of the bunker, and killed hundreds of Soviet soldiers below at one time.

The Komsomolsk, which was not large, was bombed by powerful aerial bombs, as well as the destruction and bombing of underground bunkers by ground-penetrating bombs, and the Soviet army suffered extremely heavy losses.

At a time when Komsomolsk was being bombarded more and more fiercely, the Wehrmacht's armored cluster was less than 500 meters away from the first line of defense of the Soviet Komsomolsk, and the time had come for a general offensive charge.

The frontal assault armored clusters, which concentrated the tanks of the 6th Panzer Army and a number of other armored forces, numbered more than 4,000 vehicles, would completely disintegrate the Komsomolsk defense line in one fell swoop from two major directions and dozens of breakthroughs.

The Tiger No. 2, No. 3 main battle tank, No. 4 heavy tank, and even the latest No. 5 main battle tank of the 45-year-old model are like tigers lying there licking their claws, waiting for an order to launch a general attack on the whole line.

Behind and around the tank units are infantry units, which will advance in trucks first, and if they can't advance, they will go down to the ground to assault, and their task is to follow behind the tank troops, rush into the defensive line, and break through and take Komsomolsk in one fell swoop before the main Allied forces can react, and even when the Soviets themselves are unable to organize an effective counterattack.

"Panzers, advance !!"
