Chapter 1906: Air Guerrilla Warfare

Five or six days after the start of the Outer Mongolia Campaign, more than 300,000 troops of the Transcaucasian Military District, plus six air force combat divisions, on the bank of the Sejingge River, broke their heads and broke blood, so that General Kurygin put away, even if it was a trace of contempt for the Chinese, the lesson of blood told sΓΉ himself, and it was himself who despised the Chinese army on the other side.

Therefore, Senior General Kurygin personally drafted a telegram, "Dear Comrade Jonasov, I can conclude that this is a conspiracy of the Chinese with only one purpose, to obstruct the bombardment of their positions by our aircraft group, therefore, I hope that the comrades of the Air Force of the Don Military District will eliminate a single qiΔ“ interference and proceed according to the predetermined battle plan!" ”

The telegram was sent, but for Lieutenant General Jonasov, it was not easy to eliminate interference, and in the dark night sky before dawn, from time to time a small group of fighters of an independent division, not many of them, at most a hundred or so planes, pounced from a high altitude and struck fiercely, and then, turned around and ran, if his escort fighter group ignored it, he turned around and took a bite, there was no way, Lieutenant General Jonasov had to divide another part of the fighters to pursue.

As soon as the pursuing fighters went away, a group of fighters of an independent division rushed up, so Lieutenant General Jonasov continued to divide his troops in pursuit, and the number of fighters escorting the bomber group became smaller and smaller, and Lieutenant General Jonasov had a headache and cursed angrily for the Chinese's unconventional way of playing.

In the air force of the Northern Flying Group Kulen ground air command, Le Yiqin constantly received reports, "Commander, our regiment has successfully attracted about a regiment of Soviet fighters to pursue, and is moving away from its intended route!" ”

Le Yiqin laughed and said to He Zhijun and Dong Ningxuan: "The show has started, layer by layer, it won't take half an hour, it's time for me to play!" ”

He Zhijun said cautiously: "Commander." This kind of play is okay once or twice, and after that, the commander of the air formation of the Soviet army will definitely be able to see through it and ignore it. ”

Le Yiqin smiled coldly and said nonchalantly: "Zhijun, as long as the commander of the Soviet air formation is not an idiot, he can detect our intentions, but. I will order the group of planes to lure the enemy to attack their mixed formation with all their might, and change from luring the enemy far away to actually attacking. There were bombers caught in it, and the Soviet fighters could not increase their speed. The initiative is still in our hands! ”

Lieutenant General Jonasov at this time. He didn't even have the intention of scolding, he also judged the intention of the commander of the aviation of the independent division, to disperse the forces of the escorting fighter group to the maximum, and the target was the bomber group, but there was no way. If the pursuit is not divided, the small group of fighters of the independent division will be like a cunning fox, elusive. It will not work to ignore it, the fighters of the separate divisions, will attack their own mixed formations from all directions.

If there were no three bomber divisions to drag him down, he would not be afraid to fight Lieutenant General Jonasov, and the number of fighters he sent to pursue was slightly more than the enemy fighters that attacked by sneak attack, and even if he fought, he would not suffer.

At about four o'clock in the morning, as Le Yiqin expected, most of the five fighter divisions escorted by the Soviet army were attracted to other airspace, and the number of fighters escorting the three bomber groups was less than one hundred and thirty in two regiments, and the supreme commander of the mixed air formation, Lieutenant General Jonasov, was among them, and the deputy commander comrade had already been ruthless, even if there was another fighter of the independent division, even if it was one, it would not be pursued by dividing its forces.

Although he was disturbed by the Chinese's style of play and was dizzy with anger, Lieutenant General Jonasov still kept a relatively cool head, dropped more than 500 slow-flying bombers, and went to play hide and seek with the Chinese, which is a stupid thing that stupid people do!

At the same time, at the Kulun Field Airport, Le Yiqin Huo Ran got up and said to He Zhijun, chief of staff, and Dong Ningxuan, chief of staff of the Northern Flight Group: "The air battle is commanded by the two of you, it's time for me to attack!" ”

Three red signal flares rose in the sky, Le Yiqin sat in the cabin with a calm face, quietly waiting for the command tower's order, "One, one, you can take off!" Le Yiqin pushed the accelerator throttle, the fighter let out a roar, and after taxiing on the runway for a certain distance, it rose from the ground, like an arrow from the string, and rushed into the sky, as the three fighter regiments of the reserve, more than 190 fighters, and two planes in formation, followed their commanders, and rushed into the night sky in turn.

At about 4:50 a.m. on 26 September, the eastern sky was already showing a faint whiteness of fish belly, and the fighter group commanded by Le Yiqin blocked the mixed group commanded by Lieutenant General Jonasov in the airspace less than 200 kilometers north of the Sejingge River.

Relying on the guidance of the ground radar station and the search of the airborne radar, Le Yiqin found the target at a distance of dozens of kilometers from the Soviet mixed aircraft group formation, "Pay attention to the formation, immediately climb the altitude, meet the enemy in five minutes, move fiercely and quickly, and before the other Soviet fighter groups come back to help, kill the Soviet bombers, the first and second regiments, responsible for attacking the Soviet escort fighter group, and the third regiment responsible for attacking the Soviet bomber group!" ”

Like a group of meteors that suddenly fell in the night sky, the battle happened so suddenly, that Lieutenant General Jonasov, before he could see clearly what was going on, nearly 200 fighters of the independent division, with a dignified and murderous aura, like a group of evil eagles, killed from a high altitude to the front of them, sharp attacks, indomitable momentum, suddenly disrupted the formation of the Soviet aircraft group.

"Da Da Da!" The whistling sound of the airborne machine guns broke the silence, and in the sky, a string of tracer bullets immediately flew up, cutting the white sky, and the high-explosive armor-piercing bombs newly equipped by the fighters of the independent division were not only effective for fighting fighters, but also good for bombers.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, a dazzling fireball bloomed in the night sky before dawn, and then, the fireball flashed continuously, more than a dozen Soviet fighters and bombers, blown into flying fragments, Lieutenant General Jonasov was cold, although he saw through the conspiracy of the Chinese, and also made corresponding deployments, leaving two fighter regiments to escort the bomber group, but he obviously underestimated the strength of the independent division aviation.

According to the reports and statistics of the commanders of the various pursuit units, the aviation units of the independent division have already dispatched more than 800 fighters, how can there be nearly 200 fighters, and the direction and route of intercepting their own aircraft group are so accurate, what the hell is alive!

"Attention to all the pursuing aircraft groups, the main formation was attacked by a fighter division of the independent division aviation, and the situation is very critical, I order, immediately abandon the pursuit, immediately return to reinforcement, immediately return to reinforcement!" Lieutenant General Jonasov gave the order.

"Da Da Da!" Le Yiqin's fighter jet shot out a string of scorching bullets, which exploded a Soviet fighter into a fireball, and then, immediately climbed in height, the fighter shot almost straight into the sky, below, a few strings of bullets swept by, another Soviet fighter rushed over, and behind, chased a fighter of an independent division, and did not hesitate to send a few strings of bullets.

The way of fighting was completely in accordance with Le Yiqin's idea to fight again, the Soviet fighters of the two regiments were entangled by the fighters of the independent division with an equal number, and they fought each other, and the Soviet bomber group completely became a child without a mother, and the fighters of one regiment rushed in and flew up and down, and after a fierce beating, the Soviet bombers were like dumplings, burning all over their bodies, planting them to the ground, or blasting into a fireball in the air.

The muscles on Lieutenant General Jonasov's cheeks were trembling involuntarily in despair, and how could more than 1,500 combat planes and mighty large aircraft groups be stripped of their shells by the Chinese and turned into disadvantages on the battlefield of local air combat, he could not figure it out in any way.

"Escort the fighter group, not at any cost, protect the bomber group, the bomber formation, and continue to fly to the bombed airspace!" The only thing Lieutenant General Jonasov could do was to give such an order, whether it was to abandon the bombing mission and return home, or to leave the battlefield and move closer to the nearest fighter group, it was impossible to do it, and the air commander of the independent division made it clear that he wanted to kill his own bomber group.

Run, fighter can, bomber can run, the only way is to rely on the advantage of the number of bombers, support to other fighter groups to help, there is still a glimmer of hope, but Le Yiqin will not give him such an opportunity, ordered the two regiments fighting with the Soviet fighters, each draw out a brigade, join the ranks of attacking the Soviet bomber group, the high-explosive armor-piercing bomb really played a role, hitting the sky is full of tracer bullets drawn out of the trajectory, shooting down the Soviet bomber, the speed of shooting down the Soviet bomber, obviously much faster.

At 5:05 a.m., General Kulygin did not hear the sound of his own group of planes rumbling over, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart that something had happened to the mixed group!

Lieutenant General Zirnenko, chief of staff of the Military District, came in with a nervous look and said: "Comrade commander, I received a telegram from Lieutenant General Jonasov, commander of the mixed aircraft group, that the aircraft group was intercepted by the aviation of the independent division with all its might, and it was in a fierce battle, and the bomber group could not bomb the target at the scheduled time!" It is estimated that the time to reach the target airspace will be delayed by about 30 minutes. ”

Lieutenant General Jonasov did not tell the truth, his bomber group may never reach the target airspace, and in more than 20 minutes of fighting, the Leyiqin group has already killed more than half of the Soviet bombers, and the two fighter regiments escorted by the Soviet army have been beaten to pieces.

General Kurygin was stunned for a while, his face turned from iron blue to purple, and he suddenly roared angrily: "Jonasov, this stupid man, I have already warned him, how can it be like this, four infantry divisions of my attacking force, tens of thousands of soldiers, just waiting for half an hour?" ”
