In the Northeast, Yichun Yichun is located in the upper right corner of the Northeast Land, less than 200 kilometers away from the air distance of the Heihe River, that is to say, it is only more than 200 kilometers away from the central city of Hailanpao in the newly occupied area of the Far East. Due to its geographical location, which can take into account both the north and the south, and is behind the powerful radar network on the northeast border, it has become an important air force town.

After the Wehrmacht formed the Far Eastern Front and launched an offensive against Hailanpao and other Far Eastern regions, Yichun became the air force command center of the Far Eastern Front, that is, the Far Eastern Theater of the Air Force, and took the lead in becoming one of the eight air theaters of the Republic during the war.

All air forces assigned to the northern and eastern parts of the Northeast and transferred to the Far Eastern Front are under the command of the Far Eastern Theater Command of the Air Force of the Wehrmacht in Yichun.

The first commander was Air Force Lieutenant General Ni Nan, who is currently the commander of the Northeast Theater of the National Defense Air Force.

The main reason is that the situation in the Great Far East Theater is becoming tense, and because Ni Nan has studied the operations of the Far Eastern Theater for a long time, he knows all about the equipment and tactics of the Air Force, and he temporarily lacks the command of the Air Corps, so he was transferred to the post of commander of the Northeast Theater Theater, and Fan Chaoping, former deputy commander-in-chief of the Siberian Air Force and commander of the Kulen Air Base, was transferred to the post of commander of the Far East Theater Air Force.

In Yichun, the Far Eastern Theater Air Force Command Center, in the brightly lit underground operational/command room, a large number of Air Force staff officers and combat personnel are nervously busy.

Fan Chaoping, the commander-in-chief who had just been promoted to lieutenant general, was standing at a 1:50,000 scale map table and discussing the entire air combat situation with Major General Gui Ping, chief of staff of the Air Force's Far East Theater.

"Commander, although the task of fighting for air supremacy is very heavy in this butcher's plan, as long as we follow the air raid plan jointly formulated by the General Staff of the Air Force and us step by step, there is still no problem in completing the task. If the plan is properly implemented, we will be able to occupy air superiority over the Far Eastern Theater for a considerable period of time and provide strong air support for ground warfare. ”

Major General Gui Ping was talking about the part of the plan that the Air Force needed to carry out after the start of the Butcher program. The ground forces of the United States and the Soviet Union are undoubtedly huge in terms of numbers, and air superiority has become very important.

On the map, half of the northeast is framed in a red circle, including Harbin, Suihua, Jiamusi, Hegang, Shuangyashan, Qitaihe and other places, all of which are included in this power distribution map. The strength of the entire Far Eastern Theater of the Air Force, with more than 1,500 fighters and nearly 1,000 bombers, and 90 percent of the air forces in the entire theater are concentrated at these airfields in the northeast.

The forces of the two major theaters of the Air Force, the Far Eastern Theater and the Northeast Theater, constitute the main force in the northeast direction and the air confrontation. The total number of aircraft reached 4,000, almost 2,500 fighters and almost 1,500 bombers.

In terms of proportion, the strength of the two theaters accounted for more than one-third of the air force of the Republic after the reinforcement, and the air force of the Siberian theater that followed was far inferior to that of the two theaters.

From the point of view of strategic arrangement, the two theaters will be responsible for any air provocations by the entire Far Eastern theater or even from the Japanese and North Korean sides.

Fan Chaoping's gaze changed from time to time between several air bases on the map, and he said, "Unfortunately, the Far East is not Siberia, and it is difficult to launch a large-scale air war with absolute superiority, and the Soviet Union is weak in its follow-up and is desperate to make a bet, and it is said that it is too close to the Far East, and once an extremely large-scale air battle is launched, it can only become a war of fuel in the end, and evolve into a large-scale and protracted air war that spreads to the Far East, Northeast China, Korea, and the Generation, just like the cross-sea air war between Britain and Germany." ”

"Yes, China is too close, and it also has an air force that is not weak, and if it is tough, it is likely to turn into a protracted battle for air supremacy."

Major General Gui Ping drew a large circle above the Far Eastern Theater with a baton in his hand and said, "The air force planning part of the butcher plan is equivalent to a chain plan.

The first stage is to concentrate forces, taking advantage of the fact that the United States, the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union have not yet safely converged, and the Soviet air force is at its weakest, and it is difficult for the Soviet army to launch support at the first time, the focus will be on clearing the Soviet army's forward airfields and destroying some key rear airfields, so as to provide air conditions for the advance of the main force's armored corps.

In the second stage, after the Soviet Union's air power suffered heavy losses, it could only ask for help, or unite with the United States to put pressure on it, and at this stage, it would send troops to help in the war.

At this time, once a considerable number of troops of the army were skillfully mobilized. Then we will be able to concentrate our forces and use the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, and in turn bombing the Yuefang airfield, so as to destroy the air combat strength of the Yuefang army with the greatest effort at the minimum cost. As long as we can occupy a considerable advantage, we will be able to concentrate our forces to carry out high-intensity bombing against the relatively powerful Syrian army and push the air battle battlefield to the airspace over Korea or over the Sea of Japan. ”

"Well, every link of the whole plan must be carefully executed, otherwise, if there is a problem in one ring, there may be a problem in the ring." Fan Chaoping frowned slightly, and said with a little worry, not because he was not bold, but mainly because he thought of the four million enemy troops in the Far Eastern Theater, if the Wehrmacht Air Force could not gain air supremacy after receiving strong support from jet fighters, this war would most likely turn into a mess.

Although he is an air force general, he also knows that once the war enters the quagmire, then the meat grinder model that the Soviet Union once used in Komsomolsk may also be staged between China, the United States and the Soviet Union. At present, when the United States and the Soviet Union are not in coordination in place and there is no preparation for joint operations at all, they can seize the opportunity by taking the first move.

And the time is still very short, there is not much time left for the main forces to attack, to be exact, less than a week, if the air force cannot gain at least a partial advantage within this time, the next air battle can only be carried out at the head of the army units at the same time.

The two talked from time to time, and a direct call to the headquarters was answered.

"Yes, Commander Huo!"

After a few short words, Lieutenant General Fan Chaoping put down the phone and said to Gui Ping, chief of staff of the theater, "Commander Huo wants to convene a pre-war general coordination meeting, and he wants me to attend it by name, and I will leave overnight. ”

"Yes, Commander."

Major General Gui Ping said with confidence that pilots are not the only pilots who have a desire to fight, and as a staff officer in the rear, he also has a strong desire to fight.

At present, the entire Far Eastern Theater is nothing more than a few airfields such as Hailanpao that take off from time to time in small formations of planes to destroy or expel Soviet fighters or reconnaissance planes that have crossed the Line of Actual Control.

Before the actual start of the operation and the sudden increase in the scale of air combat, this kind of tentative small-scale air combat is like scratching the itch in the boot.

…… On 9 September 1945, on the night of the pre-war general mobilization meeting of the Far Eastern Front and the coordinated operations meeting of the army and air force, Heihe airfield, Hailanpao airfield, Sunwu airfield, Xunke airfield, and a number of field airfields received combat orders to take off more than 300 Jian-2 and Jian-3 fighters at dawn, accompanied by more than 50 H-2 and H-3 bombers.

In the airspace above the border zone between the northeast and the Far East, three Falcon-3 early warning planes flew at an altitude of 8,000 meters toward the airspace over the Far East occupied by China, and the Sky Falcon-3 early warning planes approaching the maximum warning range of 200 kilometers (using some advanced equipment to increase the detection range of radar) will effectively monitor the airspace over the Far East theater. And with its maximum altitude of 13,000 meters, it is also enough to ensure safety.

It can be said that the early warning aircraft is a super equipment of the same grade as the Tianlong jet fighter and the T-40 Tianshenfu strategic bomber in the current equipment system of the Chinese Air Force.

At 5:30 a.m., the clouds over Heihe Airport showed a faint white, and there were about 30 minutes before the sky could light up. A significant number of specially trained Wehrmacht Air Force pilots have the ability to take off/fly in low-light conditions.

The Heihe military airfield is sandwiched between two large mountain passes, because it is a front-line airfield, the hangar is directly dug into a cave, and the planes in the hangar can take off and fight when pushed out in wartime, and on both sides of the hill are densely distributed air defense weapons, all new or newer anti-aircraft guns and the latest Ripper anti-aircraft machine guns, which provide shelter for the field airfield in this mountain pass.

"Woo...... According to the predetermined plan, the formation was booked, and immediate action was taken. ”

At exactly 5:30 a.m., when a few short operational whistles sounded, the pilots who had been waiting beside the fighter planes on the runway immediately jumped onto the planes, and the planes, which had just been inspected and were ready to take off at any time, began to take off in an orderly manner.

The rest of the planes were also constantly being pushed out of the cave hangar.

The squadron that took off at the front was the C054 fighter squadron led by Air Force Major Helvar. Helvar.

"The most anticipated departure at dawn."

Looking at the morning light that was getting brighter and brighter in the sky, Ouhua, who was piloting the Jian-3 Guniu fighter, resolutely pulled up the plane after the plane had glided long enough.

In the morning light, the plane rose up.

At the moment of adjustment after pulling it up, Ouhua subconsciously glanced at the direction of the airport, which was his wingman Huang Pingke.

"It's a pity that I can't take to the air with Captain Tong."

After many years, the war against China has been set off again, and Helvar is very emotional.

Ten years ago, he was just an ordinary pilot on the battlefield of Jinzhou, and the wingman of squad leader Tong Tianming. Today, Tong Tianming has already become the commander of a division of the Air Force and has been transferred to the southern battlefield to participate in the war. Huazi back then has now become a major in the Air Force, and before he set out, the division commander had just approached him, and after the completion of this mission, he would be promoted to the commander of the flight regiment where the C054 Lieutenant Pair was located and become a lieutenant colonel of the Air Force.

Ten years ago he flew the Jian-2, and 10 years later he not only flew the Jian-3, but also actually passed the TL-1 jet fighter flight qualification examination, and he will be the first batch of pilots to fly jet fighters after the brigade is equipped with jet fighters.

However, in the past ten years, the hatred for the devil has never faded. The hatred of the whole Northeast and the trampling of 30 million compatriots will be counted from today. Ten years ago, the unfinished air war will continue to move forward ten years later.

After more than 30 minutes of flight, the sky was already bright, and then flying forward was the former Suyu Far East battlefield fire area, and Ouhua's headset came from the regiment commander's command.

"The Soviet radar has already discovered us, and we are taking off fighters, the closest distance is 20 kilometers, and each formation meets the enemy on its own, so we must shoot down the enemy plane in the fastest time."

Ouhua glanced at the radar screen, and a group of enemy planes were rushing straight at about 20 kilometers away, and this airspace was the combat area of more than 20 Jian-3 Guniu fighters commanded by Ouhua.

"We have a numerical superiority, pay attention to the enemy's anti-aircraft fire, shoot down enemy aircraft as quickly as possible."

Helvar contacted the bomber squadron in the rear, and a dozen bombers were following closely in the airspace not far behind him, and the combination of a fighter squadron and a bomber squadron was one of the components of this large-scale bombing.

The initial bombing will be aimed at the radar that the Soviet army has long exposed.

"Enemy planes are climbing, they should be equipped with new radars, have discovered our position and are ready to climb for operations."

The situation from the three-dimensional radar made Ouhua frown slightly, but the battle order was issued in an instant, and the air distance of more than 20 kilometers was only a mere two minutes in front of the fighters on both sides who were traveling at more than 700 kilometers per hour.

Racing against time, with its excellent climbing ability, the Jian-3 Guniu squadron commanded by Ouhua preemptively occupied the advantageous height, and as soon as the third minute came, it began to dive, and after the 24 Guniu fighters left a part of the 12 bombers guarding the bomber squadron in the rear, the seven long-term crews rushed towards the Soviets' planes.

"Lao Maozi is really generous, and the MiG-8 is all the same, and it seems that he has shown real skills."

In the airspace within sight, the Soviet MiG-8 formation, which had failed to seize the superior position at a high level, did not make a big evasion, but instead tried to reoccupy the superior firing position with a strong maneuver and a strong turning maneuver.

The MiG-8 is the most advanced propeller fighter of the Soviet Union, with a maximum speed of nearly 800 kilometers, which is not much worse than that of the Guniu fighter. Judging from the performance of the old Maozi pilots in front of him, Ouhua thinks that they are some elites who have dealt with devil pilots enough.

These planes may not be as good as the Jian-3 Guniu fighters, but the pilots are not bad, and they and the devil pilots who fly the Zero fighters are difficult to solve.

There were 10 enemy planes and 14 of our planes, and Helvar pounced without any hesitation.

There was also a howl in the communication channel of the Soviet pilot's aircraft.

"Ula!!"

These elite pilots, who fought against the Yue Army Air Force and won numerous victories, flew the most advanced propeller fighters of the Soviet Union and flew directly at the Chinese planes.

The disadvantage in numbers does not matter, as long as it can be delayed for a while, more planes will naturally take off from the rear. Moreover, according to their experience in dealing with the Yue army, quantity is not everything, and technology is often more important.

They did not think that these Chinese pilots, who met for the first time, would be more difficult to deal with than the elite of the Chinese army in the skies over the Far Eastern Theater.

"Da Da Da ......"

However, what the Soviet pilots did not expect was that the Chinese fighters relied on their numerical superiority to decisively launch a fierce offensive, relying on the good fighting ability of the aircraft, repeatedly maneuvering, and most of them were able to repeatedly occupy favorable firing positions.

"Boom ......"

In five minutes, 10 Soviet MiG-8s were beaten down by 15 Niu, and the remaining 4 fled in all directions.

"Poor people don't chase, cover the bomber squadron, and pull out the A11 radar group."

Helvar first reported the results of the battle, and then ordered the squadron to cover the bomber squadron behind him and fly towards a radar group directly ahead.

There was an important front-line radar group of the Soviet army, which was responsible for monitoring the movements of the squadron, especially in the Far East.

After clearing the anti-aircraft fire of the Soviet radar group, the bomber squadron dive-bombed at a low altitude and removed the radar stations one by one.

Ten minutes later, however, the fighter squadron and bomber squadron began to return home.

Ouhua looked at the radar screen and reported to the regiment commander: "Regiment commander, the mission is complete, we are returning home, and the MiG girl chasing behind us will be left to you, haha." ”

"No problem. You kid, there is a battle for you today, and Miss MiG will welcome you warmly. ”

The regiment commander's voice was full of laughter, and he immediately commanded the remaining squadron of the regiment to rush straight to the Soviet support aircraft.

On September 9, 1945, the Chinese National Defense Forces and the Far East Theater of the Air Force took off and landed a total of 1,200 sorties, and the Soviet army's forward radars and airfields were uprooted one by one. What is surprising is that when the Soviets were tired of mobilizing available aircraft to make up for the defense, as a formal ally, the Japanese army actually sent a few squadrons to 'support' only in the afternoon, only to be eaten by two Guniu fighter regiments.

Throughout the day, the performance of the Chinese Air Force was piecemeal, mainly destroying the radar, air defense, and front-line airfields arranged by the Soviet troops in the face of China, followed by squadron-sized aircraft groups, wantonly penetrating into the airspace controlled by the Soviet forces.

But even with an air raid of this magnitude, the Soviet army was almost on the verge of collapse.

Originally, the Soviet air force in the Far East was at an absolute disadvantage, and if it were not for the US air force in the war, any large-scale air raid by the Chinese army might have severely damaged the Soviet air force. In the entire Far Eastern theater, the Soviet army was not without aircraft, and the total number of fighters waiting for repair or spare parts was even as high as more than 2,000.

And now, these planes are in hangars, waiting for the Americans to deliver parts, and it is no longer possible to ship spare parts from other parts of the Soviet Union.

In the air battle on the 9th, the US air force deployed in the rear was equally slow, because at first it was believed that the Chinese were only disturbing on a small scale, and did not take the Chinese's sparrow oil war seriously, thinking that the Soviet Air Force could deal with it, and as a result, when they rushed to support, it was almost over in the afternoon.

When the air war ended, the United States and the Soviet Union were greatly shaken, and in the face of China's first battle after officially joining the Far Eastern Theater, the United States and the Soviet Union had to re-evaluate the Chinese Air Force again. In the event of a possible total defeat of the Soviet Air Force, US Army Commander General Patton summoned representatives of the Soviet Army overnight and demanded that the Army must provide maximum allied-level air support to the Soviet Army from the immediate beginning.

In the following two days, the air battle continued, and the Chinese side took over the responsibility of air support for the US military and began to gradually devote itself to supporting the Soviet Air Force on a large scale. The Chinese let the difficult Yuben Air Force not deal with it, and singled out the Soviets to do it.

Seeing that the first phase of the air battle plan is about to be achieved, the second phase of the offensive to encircle and "fight" the Soviet Union will also be smoothly launched.
