In the northern part of Outer Mongolia, on the south bank of the Sejingge River, three fighter divisions of the Air Force of the Transcaucasian Military District of the Soviet Union, 10 fighter regiments of the Northern Flying Group of the Independent Division, and more than 1,200 fighters fought in the air.

Whether it is the routine of Major General Sashkov, the commander of the Soviet air formation, or the tactics pre-designed by Liu Cuigang, they have lost their effect because the two sides adjust their deployment at any time, and what remains is the contest of courage, will, ferocity, tactics, and technology among the pilots.

And Liu Cuigang's decapitation action did not achieve the result he wanted, but he fell into the encirclement of Soviet fighters, and after a short fight, Liu Cuigang's fighter plane was shot, which happened in the blink of an eye.

A sharp pain like a heart-splitting bone came from his right shoulder, making Liu Cuigang's eyes dark, and the fighter plane trembled violently uncontrollably, plunging to the ground, all the instrument pointers swayed wildly, and a warm wetness flowed into the flight suit.

Liu Cuigang shook his head hard to get rid of his vertigo, his entire right arm was numb, his right hand was no longer obedient, the earth was expanding rapidly in front of him, the fighter plane fell like a meteor with thick smoke, and behind, followed by two Soviet fighters, constantly spitting tongues of fire, and farther away, there were more than a dozen Soviet fighters, ignoring the opponent's fierce attack, turned around and pounced towards Liu Cuigang.

The pilots of the Soviet army all knew that the plane of the Independent Division, painted with a five-pointed star on the nose, was a well-deserved ace pilot, and shooting him down, whether it was honor or military merit, would be beyond their imagination, but now they were wounded, like a wounded tiger, although they did not know the Chinese saying "take advantage of his illness and take his life", but he was an opponent who had no ability to fight back. In the face of the military exploits at hand, a huge temptation attracted all the Soviet fighter pilots in the vicinity.

"Zero zero one!" The wingman pilot witnessed this with his own eyes, and let out a heart-rending cry of pain, the Soviet fighter who got rid of the entanglement accelerated violently, rushed to the Soviet fighter that wounded Liu Cuigang, and several airborne machine guns fired at the same time, and the bullets jumped happily and drilled into the fuselage. "Boom!" With a loud bang, the Soviet pilots, who had not had time to accept the congratulations of their companions, together with the fighters who had just made their achievements, exploded into a fireball in the air.

And at this time, Liu Cuigang's fighter. Almost on the verge of losing control completely, it continued to fall to the ground. Liu Cui just overcame the dizziness caused by blood loss. He pulled the lever with his left hand and kicked the rudder with his right foot, because of the exertion, coupled with a large amount of blood loss, his face was sallow, and the wound on his right shoulder was as painful as a tear. The feeling of extreme weakness hit my heart irrepressibly, "Damn, I want to explain it to Lao Maozi today?" He laughed self-deprecatingly. Occur.

Finally, at an altitude of less than 100 meters from the ground, the engine roared again, a long-lost power, instantly brought a new feeling, Liu Cuigang's fighter, with thick smoke, drew a long parabola, and rushed into the sky again, and the two Soviet fighters chasing after him, but there was no such good luck, in the case of full speed chasing, it was too late to change the flight attitude, and hit the ground headlong, "Boom!" There were two loud bangs, and a huge fireball rose on the ground.

The thrilling, a scene of a thousand shots, fell in the eyes of the fighter pilots of both sides who were fighting fiercely, and the impact on the Soviet pilots could be described as shocking, could it be that this Chinese is not a human being, in that case, there is no other choice except parachuting, but he, driving a fighter that has been hit by an unknown number of bullets and smoke, can also make such an ultra-low-altitude action, and by the way, he knocked out two fighters chasing after him.

Of course, shock is shock, the Soviet pilots, don't want to let go of such a good opportunity, swarming towards Liu Cuigang, who is trying to climb, witnessing the commander's fighter plane was injured and almost fell, the pilots of the independent division, their eyes were red at that time, or they killed the opponent in front of them regardless of the danger, or gave up the Soviet fighter that was in pursuit and could succeed immediately, or risked being hit, and quickly moved closer to the commander.

The battlefield of air combat was chaotic, but the Soviet fighter pilots could soon feel that the fighter pilots of the independent division had changed their fighting methods, and they were not pursuing skills, but all of them were like red-eyed outlaws, driving high-speed flying fighters, crashing straight over, hitting and firing viciously while colliding, how to say, just like a group of wounded hungry wolves.

The pilots of the independent division, the way of fighting without their lives quickly disrupted the position of the Soviet army, and no one wanted to fight with a group of opponents who did not take their lives seriously, and the Soviet fighter pilots felt right.

Liu Cuigang's wound and almost fell, so that all the pilots of the independent division were red-eyed, that is the commander who has been crisscrossing the northern sky for several years, in the minds of the pilots of the Northern Flight Group, it is a mountain that needs to be looked upon, the pilots, would rather take the bullet for the commander himself, than he will encounter any danger, especially the six regiment commanders, their eyes are bloodshot, in the communication channel, but shouting in their voices: "All the formations pay attention, protect the safety of the commander, Kill a Soviet fighter who dares to attack the commander, not at any cost! ”

The war is like this, in the situation of equal strength and stalemate, the morale of the troops often plays a decisive role, the balance of the battlefield is broken, under the ferocious attack of the fighter pilots of the independent division, the Soviet fighters are constantly defeated, and even, they do not dare to engage with them, and adopt a wandering fighting method.

Liu Cuigang raised his heavy eyelids, looked at the fighters who were constantly gathering around him, and the corners of his mouth were difficult with a smile, almost muttering to himself: "These guys! Then, with the greatest strength, he ordered: "Give the command to Meng Qingpeng, I am going back!" ”

His wingman pilot, piloting a fighter plane with more than a dozen big holes on the wing, tightly guarded the surroundings, and when he heard that the commander was going to fly the seriously injured fighter plane back to the Kulen airfield, he was very anxious and shouted: "Commander, your plane is in extremely unstable flight state, so let's hurry up and parachute!" ”

Liu Cuigang muttered in a low voice, ", I, Liu Cuigang, don't have the habit of throwing fighter jets yet!" ”

At this time, Meng Qingpeng, who commanded four fighter regiments and was beating up the Soviet bomber formation, heard Liu Cuigang's order, his scalp tightened, his heart jumped wildly, and his first reaction was, "The commander is injured!" After handing over the command, he hurried to the fighter air combat battlefield with his wingman, and what he saw was Liu Cuigang's fighter plane still smoking, flying all the way south.

Meng Qingpeng hurriedly ordered: "The first regiment, send a brigade to escort the commander back, and the rest of the troops, continue to attack the Soviet fighter group, don't let them join the bombers!" ”

Then, he thought about it for a while and opened the contact channel with the ground air finger, "Kulun air finger, I am Colonel Meng Qingpeng, the acting commander of the formation, to report a situation, in the air battle just now, Commander Liu's landline was seriously injured and is on the way back, judging by the situation, the commander himself was also injured, please prepare for rescue!" ”

Kulun, the headquarters of the Outer Mongolian Frontier Army, in Tang Qiuli's temporary headquarters, "Jingle bell!" The phone on the table rang urgently, Wang Jun, chief of staff of the Outer Mongolia Border Army, picked up the phone, and without waiting to finish a few words, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he said: "I know, report the situation at any time!" ”

Putting down the phone, looking at Tang Qiuli who was surprised, he said anxiously: "Division commander, I received a report from the Kulun ground air command, Commander Liu Cuigang was injured in the air and is on his way back!" ”

Tang Qiuli's face suddenly turned pale, his body shook, and he hurriedly asked, "What is Liu Cuigang's condition, is there any danger?" ”

Wang Jun shook his head and replied: "The specific situation is not clear, according to the report of the acting commander, Colonel Meng Qingpeng, Commander Liu's fighter and himself, are both wounded, and they should be very strict!" ”

"Smack!" Tang Qiuli slammed the pencil in his hand on the table, and shouted loudly outside the house: "Huzi, prepare the car, go to the airport!" With that, the man had already walked out of the house.

On the south bank of the Sejingge River, the air battle continued, but the balance of the battlefield had already tilted in favor of the independent division's air force, and after the bomber formation was attacked by four fighter regiments of the independent division, Major General Sashkov had to transfer a division's fighters from the intractable battlefield to protect the bombers, and as a result, the number of Soviet fighters on the main battlefield of the air battle was sharply reduced by about half.

Whether it was in terms of the number of fighters or the morale of the pilots, the Soviet fighter formations were immediately at a disadvantage, and the situation of the first air battle appeared again, and the Soviet fighters who remained on the main battlefield were immediately overwhelmed by the fighters of the independent division several times their size, and from time to time in the air, Soviet fighters were smashed into pieces by volleys, or they wailed, rushed to the ground, and exploded into a ball of fire.

The Soviet bomber group, under the attack of the fighters of the independent division, the bombing mission was completed very unsatisfactory, not to mention the bombing accuracy, that is, it was able to avoid the ferocious attack of the fighters of the independent division, and it became very difficult to drop the bombs in the cabin.

Looking down from the air, the bombing quality of the Soviet bombers was really bad, and the bombs were dropped, but the drop point was several kilometers away, but there were a lot of bombs, which fell into the Sejingge River, and blew up a column of water that shot into the sky, and blew up the wooden stakes left behind by the Soviet sappers who had built a pontoon bridge the day before.

The situation of the air war is developing more and more in a direction that is unfavorable to the Soviet army's aircraft group, and Major General Sashkov sighed in his heart, if he continues to fight like this, I am afraid that this little bit of the military district air force will have to be explained here!
