As an old pilot, his nerves were highly tense at this time, and his wolf-like eyes were constantly searching the nearby airspace.

Sitting behind Yoshio Bukawa is Umekawa Uchiku, a novice who is now only a maneuvering trainee of the 9th Independent Flying Squadron. As a new recruit, Umegawa was a bit silly, unaware of the risks of the flight, and he was still intoxicated by the excitement of his first combat flight and the joy of being able to serve His Majesty the Emperor.

Yoshio Bugawa's car flew parallel along the Haraha River from west to east, and the performance of the Type 88 reconnaissance plane was relatively satisfactory to the Japanese Army at that time, and this two-person reconnaissance plane using a BMW engine was not the work of a Japanese designer, but a German engineer Richard. Fogg's design. At the 1927 review meeting, the aircraft overwhelmingly defeated the Japanese design model, and in 1928 it was named the Type 88 reconnaissance aircraft.

That is, from that year onwards, all members of the Type 88 reconnaissance aircraft participated in the 918 Incident and the 128 Incident until they were replaced by the Type 94 reconnaissance plane. Of course, in 1935, the performance of the Type 88 reconnaissance aircraft was already lagging behind the times, and even the performance of the Type 94 reconnaissance aircraft finalized in 1934 was quite average. A speed of at least 300 kilometers is not enough to escape the hunt of new fighters with a general speed of 450 kilometers per hour.

However, compared to the maximum speed of 220 kilometers per hour of the 88 style, the 94 style is much stronger, at least Bugawa Yoshio hopes that his troops can replace the backward 88 style with the 94 style as much as possible.

Obviously, it is impossible in the near future, and it is unlikely that the Type 94, which has just been finalized for a short time, will immediately enter service with the 9th Independent Flying Squadron. Yoshio Bugawa still needs to be scared for a while.

And as the conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union in the Haraha River valley intensified. It's not just ground forces that are fighting each other. There is also a battle in the air all the time. In the past month, two Type 88 reconnaissance planes have been shot down during cross-border reconnaissance operations, and none of the pilots have escaped.

Yoshio Bugawa heard that the savage "Lucia Ghost Animals" would shoot captured Japanese pilots on the spot, or exile them to feed polar bears near the Polar Circle of Siberia. Either way, Yoshio Bugawa didn't like it. And whether he will be able to return home safely or not will all depend on the escort fighters.

However, for fighter pilots, they are not easier than Yoshio Bugawa, such as Tamori Yoshito, who escorted Yoshio Bugawa. Piloting the Type 92 fighter, he didn't have the slightest sense of security. Because there is a considerable gap between the performance of the Type 92 fighter and the new Yi-15 and Yi-16 of the "Lucia Ghost Animal", it can only be hanged and beaten.

Anyway, Tian Mori Yin Tang was killed by Yi 15 once a week ago, and the other party's unimaginable agility and hovering performance left an indelible impression on him, anyway, Tian Mori Yin Tang was not confident that he could turn the tables when he met Yi 15 again.

And compared with the last sudden encounter, Tian Sen Yin Tang still has a burden this time, the Type 88 reconnaissance plane is completely dragging oil bottles, escorting such a slow stupid duck is almost sending them to death.

The only thing that made Tian Sen Yin Dan feel a little relieved was that today's reconnaissance operation was relatively smooth, and he never encountered an enemy plane. In just ten minutes, the task will be over. After landing. He must drink a large pot of sake to suppress the shock.

Poor Tamori didn't know that he would never be able to drink sake again, and behind him on his left, a large number of fighters and bombers were driving over. There are both the I-15 and the faster I-16 that chill him, and even a large number of TB-1 and TB-3 bombers.

On this morning, in accordance with the instructions of the Military Commissar, Blyukhel ordered the official start of the military punitive operation "on behalf of justice", which, according to the plan drawn up before the war, was to first start in the air, and the two fighter aviation divisions, one strike aviation division, and two bomber aviation divisions under the Red Banner Front in the Far East would completely destroy and paralyze the Japanese airfields in Arshan, Manchuria, and Hailar.

In the first wave of attacks, more than 360 fighters, 180 attack planes, and 200 bombers pounced on the Japanese airfields.

"Emergency call! Emergency call! ”

Umekawa Nei hissed and yelled at the radio with all his might, and just now, Tian Mori Yin Da, who was responsible for escorting them, and his wingman were shot down by the Red Army's fighter jets in an instant, and that was called neat, and even before Tian Mori Yin Tang could jump out of the cockpit, the plane exploded in the air.

The Type 92 fighter turned into a large fireball in the air, and a headless corpse that had been blown apart fell on the Mongolian steppe with a thud, and if nothing else, he would soon become the best fertilizer to nourish the land.

Not wanting to turn into fertilizer at all, he did his best to avoid the rain of bullets, and every now and then he could hear the sound of a bullet piercing his wing. The only thing that makes him happy is that for the time being, the engine has not been damaged, and he can still hold on.

"Yaga, what are you doing! Hurry up and report to Perfection Nakasa! We've been attacked by Lucia's ghost animals, it's war! Yoshio Bugawa hissed and roared at Umekawauchi, five minutes had passed, long enough time for him to get in touch with Tsumi, but the damn recruit had messed up.

Umekawa was on the verge of crying because he really did it according to the protocol, but no matter how much he fiddled with the damn station, all he could hear was a rustling beep in his headphones.

"The radio is out of order!"

If it weren't for being chased and killed, and instead of having to fly the plane, Yoshio Bugawa really wanted to unbuckle his seat belt and turn around to give Umegawa Uchiku two punches, and he thought that the radio malfunction was entirely due to Umegawa Uchiku, a rookie, being lazy when maintaining the equipment, or the wrong operation broke the radio. He hated this useless recruit more than anything else.

So is it really Umegawa Uchiku's responsibility? Actually, no, the radio station is not malfunctioning, but it has been shut down due to strong electromagnetic interference. And this is completely the work of a certain immortal. As a traverser. He was no stranger to electronic warfare. In this area, Nokia began research very early. In 1933, a high-power jammer was created. Although it is not enough to interfere with radar, it is easy and pleasant to interfere with wireless communications.

Beginning in 1933, the KGB began to purchase these jammers in large quantities, and after obtaining the DC-1 transport aircraft, they tried to install the jammers on the aircraft. This time, three rudimentary electronic jammers were put into operation "Representing Justice", responsible for suppressing the radio communications of the Japanese army near the Haraha River.

It should be said that the first battle of the EDC-1 electronic jammer was relatively successful, and the first Japanese reconnaissance planes and outposts that discovered the "invasion" of the Red Army were completely unable to transmit the message back, and they could only yell into the microphone in vain, like Umegawa Neiku.

Of course. EDC-1 also has a number of problems, such as this kind of radio interference is indiscriminate between friend and foe, as long as it is in the jamming zone, not a single qiē unwired equipment, including the Red Army, can not be used, even the radio station on EDC-1 cannot be used. The electronic jammer is completely clocked in to work, turned on according to the specified time, and then turned off at the specified time, and the flexibility of use is very affected.

However, it was impossible to paralyze the communications of the Japanese army with electronic jammers alone, after all, except for radio. There is also cable electricity and telephone. And that's not what EDC-1 can do. It was the GRU who got the wires done, the night before. The GRU infiltrated behind enemy lines in batches in DC-1 and S11 helicopters in guò airborne or parachute formations, and basically cut off the Japanese army's wired communication lines before the battle began.

Therefore, when a large number of attack planes and bombers came to the Japanese airfield, the devils did not react, and in just ten minutes, most of the planes on the devil's airfield were destroyed, and even the runway was damaged by different paths. And in the next week, they will continue to be blessed by the Red Air Force until they are blown up.

However, according to the established battle plan, the protagonists of this battle are definitely not the Air Force, but the First Cavalry Corps and the First Mechanized Infantry Corps, which have been preparing for a long time. After the battle began, the two armies rushed forward like two sharp knives, and plunged into the chests of the Japanese soldiers.

At the end of the first day's fighting, the 1st Cavalry Corps shone brightly, advancing nearly thirty kilometers in one fell swoop, overwhelming the Japanese garrisons that were trying to resist along the way. And the 1st Corps of Mechanized Infantry was not so ideal, as soon as the impact began, the BT-2 and T-26 began to have constant problems, tinkering all the way to advance about a dozen kilometers at sunset.

Judging from this daytime table alone, the cavalry of the Red Army was much more reliable than tanks and armored vehicles, and as in the Civil War, they could run smoothly as long as they were not blocked by strong trenches and heavy firepower.

At the end of the day's fighting, Timoshenko fiercely praised the three division commanders under his command, especially the 4th Cavalry Division, which rushed to the front under the leadership of the division commander Zhukov, which was almost rushing forward at a racing speed, not even worrying about the exposure of the wings and having to stop advancing, and Zhukov's troops could have rushed farther this day.

"Sue sù Georgi. Comrade Konstantinovich, I have seen all his appearance, the 4th Cavalry Division is good, continue to do this, and soon he will be promoted to army commander! ”

After Temusingko praised Zhukov, he proudly wrote a letter to the old chiefs Voroshilov and Budyonny: "Although the table of the first day is not enough to fully explain the problem, it can still reflect some practical situation, that is, the cavalry is not only not obsolete, but is increasingly showing its extraordinary importance...... We are more flexible, faster and more combative! Expecting to replace cavalry with mechanized units is simply a fantasy......"

After receiving this letter, both Voroshilov, Budyonny and Stalin were very proud. Throughout the twenties, with the rise of Tukhachevsky, Ubolevich and Triandafilov, the strong implementation of the theory of mechanized warfare made the life of the cavalry very difficult. This time, Tong Guò counterattacked in actual combat, and in their opinion, it was the beginning of correcting the previous "mistakes".

These people are really jumping up and down, with a posture of counterattacking. Even Stalin's cavalry department was active, but also Trotsky and Tukhachevsky, who were naturally unwilling to admit defeat after losing power in the Military Commission, and constantly attacked Li Xiaofeng, Ubolevich, and Triandafilov. It is believed that it was their mistakes that led to the unsatisfactory performance of the mechanized troops.

For a while, the tide surged. It seems that the Military Commission has the meaning of a major reshuffle. Faced with this situation. Kikikazeevich was a little worried: "Comrade Andrei, should you do something, do you want to remind Comrade Rokossovsky......"

Before Li Xiaofeng could speak, Yakov interrupted him: "Fedor, you are too nervous, the battle has just started, what does this mean?" Lu Yao knows that horsepower has been popular for a long time, and if you want to comment on your merits and demerits, you have to wait for the battle to end, right? ”

Misty Wind Jevic tangled: "But ......"

Li Xiaofeng also shook his head: "There is no need to put more pressure on Comrade Rokossovsky at this time. And his appearance is not bad, he is completely directing the battle according to the battle plan, and there is nothing wrong with his appearance. ”

In fact, Li Xiaofeng not only thinks that Rokossovsky's table is not a problem, but even thinks that his table is very good, why? He had seen the local map and aerial reconnaissance photos, and the Hellasten River basin was actually not very suitable for the deployment of mechanized troops, and the surrounding area had a greater impact on the mechanized troops because of the large number of rivers, and it was good to be able to overcome the influence of the terrain, and it was already good to advance more than ten kilometers after crossing the river.

As for the table xiàn of the 4th Cavalry Division. Li Xiaofeng has also read the battle report, and the Fourth Division did rush very fiercely and quickly under the leadership of Zhukov. The table xiàn is exceptionally brilliant. But there is also a reason for this, cavalry units are inherently more adaptable to the terrain than mechanized units, and it is easier to cross rivers. More crucially, Zhukov's tactics in this battle were still the same as during the Civil War, that is, the light cavalry rushed forward and the heavy equipment was left behind.

Let's put it this way, the price paid for Zhukov's rapid advance was that the artillery regiment assigned to him was also lost at the crossing of the Harakha River, and for the time being his cavalry units could only fight with machine guns and mortars.

Rokossovsky, on the other hand, tried to keep the formation intact as much as possible, and although he sacrificed part of the assault force, his troops all crossed the Kharakha River and were fully deployed, unlike Zhukov's troops, which formed a long serpentine formation.

In fact, Blyukher's attitude towards Zhukov's high-speed breakthrough was not entirely praised, although according to the theory of large-depth operations, a rapid breakthrough and high-speed development to depth is a good way to encircle and annihilate the enemy. But the breakthrough arrow troops should not be too weak, like Zhukov, it is the end of a strong crossbow, and when it encounters a strong counterattack by the enemy, it is easy to be defeated, and it will not be fun at that time.

Even from the evening of the same day, Blyukhel issued a warning to Timoshenko, ordering him to pay attention to his formation, especially the formation of the 4th Cavalry Division, and asked the 1st Cavalry Army not to rush into depth in the next one to two days, but to give priority to maintaining the compactness of the front.

However, Blyukhel's warning was not heeded by Timoshenko, and the first day of the battle was too smooth, so that the Red Army made a wrong calculation of the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army, believing that the Japanese army was vulnerable, thinking that the battle would soon be won by a great victory. Even Timoshenko was a little flustered, naturally disapproving of Blyukhel's overly conservative warnings, and even thought that Blyukhel was outdated.

It has to be said that this is a dangerous signal, because the Kwantung Army is not a parallel import, let alone a straw bag. The reason why the Red Army carried out so smoothly at the beginning was mainly because the surprise attack caught the Kwantung Army by surprise, and the Kwantung Army's previous military preparations were not sufficient, and it did not think at all that the Red Army would be the first to attack.

In fact, from later research, it was found that the strategic deception of the Soviet Union, which began at the end of 1934, was very successful, paralyzing the nerves of the Japanese government, making them believe that the Soviet Union preferred to solve the problem by diplomatic means. But in fact, in recent months, the Siberian railway traffic has surged, and a large number of Red Army and its military equipment have been rapidly transferred to the east, so that the Far Eastern Red Front has an overwhelming upper hand on the road and in air power.

On the Japanese side, because of the contradictions between the base camp and the Kwantung Army, although the Kwantung Army has been preparing for war, its actions are too slow, and it is carried out secretly and intermittently, even according to the Japanese timetable, it will only have the ability to take the initiative to attack in mid-to-late May.

Moreover, the timing of the attack chosen by the Soviet Union was also very clever, and when the eyes of the whole world were focused on the military parade on Red Square, including the Japanese, the whole world did not expect the Red Army to suddenly attack on the same day. The Kwantung Army had no prediction of this, let alone preparation, and naturally the first line was quickly routed.

It is said that the Japanese will never forget this profound lesson, and when they attack Pearl Harbor in the future, they will also choose a time that will be difficult for the US government to react to.

It should be said that the initial victory of the Red Army was due more to the excellent strategic deception of the Soviet government, and this victory had little to do with the Red Army itself. For example, there were problems in the organization of the air force, and although the dispatch of hundreds of fighters together was spectacular, there was a lack of effective command, and the combat effectiveness of the air force was not fully brought into full play.

The logistical support of the ground forces of the Red Army also had many problems, such as the inability to keep up with the transportation capacity, and the 4th Cavalry Division, which had been running wildly for a day, did not have dinner that day, and it was not until the morning of the third day that it had its first hot meal since the beginning of the war.

At the same time, it must also be noted that the Kwantung Army was only defeated by the front-line border defense and garrison troops, and the real main force was actually still in the rear, that is to say, they were not injured, and they reacted and they will soon launch a counterattack, and a vicious battle will break out! (To be continued......)
