Chapter 1938: Losses of the Aviation

The current Soviet Union, to Tang Qiuli, is like a polar bear with rough skin and thick flesh, high blood and high defense, forbidden to fight and beat, with a large population, a vast land area, and a huge strategic maneuver space, no wonder, in the history of World War II in the Soviet-German battlefield, tens of millions of people were used to kill the German army that swept across the European continent and defeated the Anglo-French coalition army.

At this point, Tang Qiuli was even more determined to annihilate the troops of the Soviet Transcaucasian Military District and the Far Eastern Front in two battlefields at the same time, and he must beat Stalin in pain and fear, so that the Soviets broke their ambition to worry about the territory of Outer Mongolia and the Far East, and the two wars in Outer Mongolia were not enough, Tang Qiuli did not hesitate to fight the third and fourth ......, until Stalin remembered the Chinese in the south, and he trembled.

Only in this way can the northern border in the future be relatively stable, so that the Soviet army will not dare to invade the south, otherwise, in the face of a neighbor with a strong desire for expansion and territorial desire, polar bears will break out at any time to the south, and maintain a huge border armament all year round, and the manpower, material resources, and financial resources consumed are not enough to fight a few wars in Outer Mongolia.

In addition to the Soviets who have a strong desire for territory, there are also those few islands, the feud Japanese who dream of the Chinese territory, the Soviet Union in the north and the destruction of Japan in the east, all require huge military strength, thousands of preparations, and countless precautionary layouts, at this moment, Tang Qiuli racked his brains to weigh the pros and cons of various gains and losses, almost exhausted his efforts, his eyes were black, he was dizzy, and the blood on his face faded.

Seeing the division commander's face, he suddenly turned pale. Le Yiqin, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, and Deputy Chief of Staff Wang Jun all hurriedly rushed over and asked eagerly, "Division Commander, what's wrong with you?" Military! Military! Zhao Yuhe shouted loudly.

Just a moment of dizziness, Tang Qiuli waved his hand indifferently and said: "Don't make a fuss, I didn't have a good rest last night, Yiqin, you go back to the army immediately, the aviation has no combat mission recently." With the restoration of vitality as the only priority, you and Chief of Staff Zhao discussed the arrangements for the aftermath of the fallen pilots, and the pension must be doubled, and the aviation command must send a special person. into the hands of their loved ones, in addition. In the name of the teacher. Awarded the Order of Warrior of the Second Class to all fallen pilots! ”

Le Yiqin's nose was hot, she nodded with tears in her eyes, and suddenly remembered what the division commander had just said, and immediately asked in a daze: "Division commander, the aviation has not had a combat mission recently, so in case Soviet bombers and fighters attack." We just watched Lao Maozi's plane, showing off its might in the sky, and we were shrinking turtles? Didn't that make that Soviet air commander Jonasov, laugh at the fact that our aviation was instigated? ”

Tang Qiuli glared at him. He said angrily: "You don't have to worry about this, there are ground air defense forces!" The Soviet army has also suffered heavy losses and increased bleeding, and has never dared to make trouble recently, besides, there are only a hundred fighters, and it can't become a climate, so take care of your own business! ”

Le Yiqin's eyes rolled a few times, and he no longer argued, agreed with his mouth, hurriedly saluted, and left.

Looking at Le Yiqin's back, Tang Qiuli said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe suspiciously: "Yuhe, keep an eye on Le Yiqin for me, don't let him do it, if you toss the rest of the aviation army, you will never be able to spare him, I always feel that this guy seems to have something to hide from us?" ”

was really guessed by Tang Qiuli, at about ten o'clock at noon on September 30, Le Yiqin came to the phone and went directly to the campaign headquarters, and he wanted to talk to the division commander by signing up for the number.

Zhao Yuhe handed the phone to Tang Qiuli, "Division commander, I am Le Yiqin, on behalf of the aviation force, I will ask you to fight, dispatch six fighter regiments, three bomber regiments, a total of more than 600 combat aircraft, form a mixed aircraft group, bomb the Soviet army retreating north, in addition, transfer two fighter regiments and one bomber regiment to support the battlefield of Deputy Division Commander Liu, let Lao Maozi Air Force see, our independent division aviation is still powerful!" ”

Tang Qiuli asked in disbelief: "Le Yiqin, what did you say?" How is it possible that you have taken out more than 800 combat aircraft in two battlefields? ”

Le Yiqin on the other end of the phone said triumphantly: "Division commander, after I go back, I will order the ground support departments of all field airports to repair our battle-damaged fighters overnight. ”

"Division commander, the troops have just suffered heavy losses and are in need of an overwhelming air attack to boost the morale of the troops, and also to let the Soviet air force commander see the combat potential of our independent division aviation! It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, teacher, don't you don't approve it! ”

Tang Qiuli thought about it, Le Yiqin's analysis was very reasonable, and it was particularly important to grasp the air supremacy on the battlefield, so he said: "Okay, I approve your battle plan, but pay attention, pay attention to the movements of the Soviet Air Force, use your brains more, and never fight a war of attrition like yesterday!" ”

Le Yiqin said excitedly: "Thank you, teacher, you can rest assured that you will complete the task!" Then he disdainfully selenium, and then said: "Just those old Maozi Air Force, give him a guts, and he doesn't dare to face the battle today, yesterday's battle lost the courage of the Soviet Air Force!" ”

The aviation units of the Independent Division, like a strong young man, were bruised all over his body yesterday, and after a night's hard work, after a good night's sleep, he shook his shoulders and moved again vigorously, taking off more than 800 combat planes in one breath and launching a fierce air attack on the troops of the Soviet Transcaucasian Military District, which were already exhausted and demoralized.

After receiving the telegram from General Kurygin requesting air fire cover, Lieutenant General Jonasov, the air commander of the Outer Mongolia Campaign of the Soviet Union and the deputy commander of the Air Force of the Don Military District, smiled bitterly and rubbed his forehead in pain.

The ground crew department was busy all night, and at dawn, the person in charge of the ground crew, whose eyes were full of red bloodshots, told him that about 600 of them had lost the value of repair, and the remaining 100 or so could not fly again in the sky after a week at the earliest.

Remember what you said? Yes, he was furious and reprimanded the ground support system for its low efficiency, in the past, it was not that there was no precedent for fighters to be damaged, and they were all repaired for about a day before they could return to the blue sky, even if they were beaten more severely this time, they could not be repaired more than 600 planes, and it would take a week for more than 100 planes?

The person in charge with the rank of ordnance colonel pleaded very aggrievedly: "Comrade deputy commander, the personnel of the ground support department, they worked all night, and they did not slack off, the reason for this situation is that the fighters of the independent division used a new type of ammunition, and the internal structure of the fuselage of the fighters was very seriously damaged, which has affected the safety performance of the aircraft, and it is extremely lucky that they can fly back and land, and they did not fall off in the middle of the way!" ”

This is the situation faced by Deputy Commander Jonasov, what to do to provide air fire support for Kulykin's troops, more than a hundred fighters, to fight against more than five hundred fighters of the aviation of separate divisions, I shudder when I think about it! That's about the same as going to die.

Lieutenant General Jonasov did not have a reply from General Kurygin, his attitude was tactful but very clear, "My air group, in yesterday's air battle, suffered huge losses, only more than 100 fighters were able to take to the air to fight, for the requirements of Comrade General, there is really nothing to be done, it is not that the Air Force does not want to fight, but it is powerless, please understand, I have reported the specific situation to the High Command to explain the current situation facing our Air Force!" ”

The implication is that Deputy Commander Jonasov is telling General SΓΉ Kurygin, I want to fight, I want to help you, but I don't have the capital, you don't go through the door of the high command, I have already said hello.

After reading it, General Kurygin was so angry that he tore the telegram to shreds, and said to the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Zirnenko: "See, this is the retreat guarantee arranged by the high command for us, at a critical time, we can't count on it, forget it, don't count on the air force, order the troops, don't care about the bombing of the aviation of the independent division, and retreat as quickly as possible, I hope that there is a pontoon bridge I want to see on the surface of the Sejingge River!" ”

On the south bank of the Sesagog River, waiting for the defeat of the remnants of the Transcaucasian Military District was not a pontoon bridge, but a unit commanded by Chief of Staff Yang Ketian, the chief of staff of the Eastern Finger, who was gearing up to eat the last bite of fat.

The second-rate infantry division of the Soviet army, which was ordered by the Soviet high command to hurriedly move south from Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude to build a bridge over the Sejingge River for the troops of the Transcaucasian Military District, was hit head-on by Liu Jinlong's division of the 11th Mechanized Brigade on the north bank before he could see the shadow of the Sejingge River.

The 11th Brigade was a heavy artillery regiment, and the shells of large-caliber howitzers rained down on the columns of the Soviet troops who were marching in a hurry, and this second-rate division, which had no heavy weapons and had not experienced much fighting, was disrupted at that time, and the artillery sound stopped.

More than 5,000 galloping war horses, rolling up the dust that rushed to the sky, more than 5,000 sabers shining with cold light, in the noon sun of the Outer Mongolian steppe, reflecting the cold swords, the tide spread over the Soviet army, after the cavalry charged twice, about half of the Soviet soldiers fell under the saber, and the rest were all captured.
