Chapter 1898: Timely Rain

In air battles, Le Yiqin is undoubtedly a veteran and master, but it is still rare to see a battlefield in the sky and underground, but no matter from that aspect, Le Yiqin can see clearly that the situation on the battlefield is not good for his side.

On the ground, the Soviet infantry was ant-like, frantically attacking positions, and in the sky, the number of Soviet fighters was obviously in an advantage, "Attacking the sky and the ground at the same time is the only feasible way at present, and Le Yiqin made a decision in an instant."

"The first and second regiments, otherwise a ground attack, the remaining three regiments, attacking the Soviet fighter group, began to act!" Le Yiqin ordered categorically.

At the same time, Le Yiqin opened the contact channel of the group, "Brothers of the Northern Flight Group, I am Le Yiqin, now listen to my orders, get rid of the entanglement of Soviet fighters, and immediately move closer to our group!" He called.

More than 400 fighters, divided into two parts, most of them swooped towards the Soviet fighter group, and a few broke away from the group and lowered their altitude.

The sudden arrival of several hundred fighters really made the Soviet fighter group panic for a while, and after fighting for a long time with more strikes and fewer blows, it failed to completely annihilate the fighter group of the independent division that was at a disadvantage, and the two sides were in the midst of attrition, and every time they shot down a fighter of an independent division, the Soviet army had to pay the price of one or two, and the battle was fought until the course of the war, and the commander of the Soviet air group was like a mirror in his heart.

Even if you kill all the fighters of the independent division in front of you, I am afraid that there will not be a few fighters left in your two fighter divisions, and if you can fly back one or two regiments, even if you are lucky, you don't understand, what kind of opponent is this, all of them are like outlaws, the planes are on fire, and they are about to explode in the air. He also crashed headlong into his plane, and took a bite on the verge of death, and the more he fought, the more chilling he became.

The victory is also a tragic victory, I am afraid that the number will not be kept, and now, the independent division aircraft group suddenly came with reinforcements, not only in terms of numerical superiority, but also the fighters of the Soviet army, after an hour of fierce fighting. The fuel on the plane was not enough to support another air battle, and the fight was terrifying, and the fighter pilots of the Northern Flying Group fought desperately. In terms of momentum, it is overwhelming.

Meng Qingpeng's fighter plane was covered in bullet wounds. Fortunately, no bullets were fired in the critical area. Looking at the fuel pointer on the dashboard, it was close to the red line of the alarm, and he knew that he might not be able to fly back today, and the Soviet aircraft group was clearly going to consume his own aircraft group, but. It's also worth it, and on the record of shooting down enemy planes, four more Soviet fighters and two bombers were added. Enough books!

The cruelty of the battle was far beyond Meng Qingpeng's expectations, in the headphones, the sound of contact heard became less and less, and the comrades-in-arms disappeared in front of him, Meng Qingpeng had become numb, and had only one thought, before he was shot down, to kill more Soviet fighters.

Le Yiqin's call made Meng Qingpeng shake, "What? Commander Le's fleet reinforcements are coming? He shouted in disbelief, not only did he hear it, but all the surviving fighter pilots of the Northern Flight Group heard Le Yiqin's call.

On the contrary, the Soviet fighter pilots who had been exhausted and timid and secretly saw that the opponent who was already on the verge of desperation came to reinforcements, how could they still have the courage to fight again, and the commander of the Soviet air group saw that the situation was not good, and the situation on the battlefield was no longer favorable to him, so he hurriedly issued an order to withdraw from the battlefield and return home.

Le Yiqin saw that the Soviet army group was retreating, and sneered disdainfully, "It's ordinary, you want to run if you take advantage of it, it's so beautiful!" ”

Le Yiqin ordered: "All the pilots of the Southern Flight Group pay attention, Lao Maozi wants to run, catch up, entangle them, and beat them hard!" ”

Then, Le Yiqin said: "Brothers of the Northern Flying Group, you have fought well, now, I order you to withdraw from the battle, return to the ship immediately, pay attention to check the fuel on the plane, and if necessary, you can parachute!" ”

The fighter pilots of the Northern Flying Group, piloting the planes with bullet wounds all over the place, with exhaustion, returned safely under the cover of their comrades-in-arms; in this air battle, the Northern Flying Group suffered heavy losses, dispatched eight fighter regiments, more than 490 fighters, and three fighter divisions of the Soviet Army, more than 800 fighters, in the airspace of the Sejingge River, a bloody battle, and now, only more than 320 can fly back.

Meng Qingpeng looked around, the heart-rending severe pain, this is all the family background of the Northern Flying Group, he adjusted his feelings, "Commander Le, Acting Commander of the Northern Flying Group, Colonel Meng Qingpeng, I would like to express my gratitude to you, the fuel on my plane cannot fly back to the Kulun Field Airfield, and the rest of the troops will be under your command, please, bring them all back!" ”

"Dididi!" In the cabin, the red fuel warning indicator light flashed rapidly, Meng Qingpeng glanced at the old guy who accompanied him nostalgically, opened the ejection seat, and with a "peng" sound, a white umbrella flower bloomed in the noon sun of the Outer Mongolian grassland, and then, more than a dozen fighter pilots who were about to run out of fuel parachuted one after another, and umbrella flowers opened in the blue sky one after another.

Le Yiqin looked at the umbrella flowers, and a hot blood in his heart surged up, "These are all good brothers of Pure Gang, they are real men!" The corners of his eyes moistened.

Le Yiqin gritted his teeth and ordered viciously: "You can let go of your hands and feet!" Chase the swarm, bite and hit, attack the swarm on the ground, and shoot all your bullets! ”

The second echelon of the Soviet army, regardless of the bombardment and interception of mortar fire, forcibly rushed to land on the beach, and after paying a certain number of casualties, it joined up with the first wave of attacking Soviet troops, forming a huge pressure on Liu Hongzhang's position, and on the other side of the river, the third wave of Soviet offensive troops was assembling on the shore.

Liu Hongzhang and Ouyang Yishan glanced at each other, Liu Hongzhang grinned and said: "Man, the time has come to fight hard, we can't wait for the third wave of Soviet troops to cross the river, Lao Maozi is going to use people to crush us to death, let's fight back!" ”

Ouyang Yishan picked up a steel helmet without saying a word, buckled it on his head, grabbed the submachine gun, pushed the bullet with a "bang", and said without raising his head: "You are the commander-in-chief, listen to you, until dark, we can be regarded as earning!" The rest, hand it over to the second-line troops, another day, complete the task, I said man, don't leave a little last word or something? ”

Liu Hongzhang disdainfully replied: "Last words? I don't need that thing, it's unlucky, the little devil can't kill me, don't think about it, I swallowed more than 30,000 horses between the two of us, does Lao Maozi have that good tooth? I have to ask the guy in our hand if he agrees! ”

Liu Hongzhang and Ouyang Yishan joked with each other, and no one took the danger in front of them into their eyes, but the staff officers all knew that the battle had reached the most critical juncture, and the two top commanders of the front line had to personally go into battle to fight, treating themselves as ordinary soldiers.

"Two commanders, look, our planes, a lot, are attacking the Soviet troops on the beachhead and across the river!" Chief of Staff Liu Chenglin suddenly pointed to the sky, shouted loudly in surprise, and jumped up like a child!

Liu Hongzhang and Ouyang Yishan rushed to the lookout hole almost at the same time, and sure enough, more than 100 fighters painted with familiar logos, like eagles, roared down from the sky, hitting the Soviet troops on both sides of the river.

Liu Hongzhang grabbed Ouyang Yishan's shoulders and shouted loudly: "Man, we shouldn't die!" It must be Le Yiqin's Southern Flight Group that has arrived, and it rains in time! Rain in time! Cheng Lin, convey my order and start a counterattack on all fronts! ”

The battle situation in the positions on the south bank was clearly distinguished, with the Soviet army attacking the main attack and the two brigades directly under the corps being the main defender, which brought great convenience to the two fighter regiments of the Southern Flying Group to attack on the ground, and the pilots kept an eye on the Soviet troops on the river beach, and swept down like a few shuttle bullets and iron brooms, so that the flesh and blood of the Soviet soldiers flew sideways, and a fighter plane swept by, and a bloody alley appeared in the pile of Soviet soldiers on the river beach.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, more than 30,000 soldiers of the first brigade and the second brigade of the directly subordinate corps began to counterattack on the whole front, and the submachine gun bullets were sprinkled on the Soviet army.

General Kurygin put down his binoculars and sighed dejectedly, "It's a failure!" Just a little bit, the main damn Chinese reinforcements arrived half an hour late, his third echelon pressed up, victory was within reach, but ......" He hung his head deeply, savoring the bitterness of another defeat.

General Kurygin knew that this battle could not be fought again, not because it was a question of how many soldiers' lives were involved, but because there was no possibility of breaking through the defenders' positions at all, and the air planes that mainly relied on it had already withdrawn from the battlefield, and moreover, the fighter groups of the independent divisions that had been reinforced had been overwhelmed, the air superiority had changed hands, and the infantry on the ground would become a living target for the planes of the independent divisions that had air supremacy.

Kulygin gloomily said to the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Zirnenko: "Stop the offensive and order the troops on the south bank to withdraw!" With that, he staggered into the tent.

The battle on 25 September lasted from 6 a.m. to about 12 p.m., with six hours of ground fighting and more than two hours of air fighting.
