For Le Yiqin's words, Colonel Dong Ningxuan, chief of staff of the Northern Flight Group, was somewhat puzzled, the combat meeting, as the name suggests, studied the matter of fighting, and the commanders of the combat units participated normally, and the logistics department followed what to do?

However, because He Le Yiqin was not familiar with it, and he was the commander of another unit, he was in charge of his own troops, so it seemed disrespectful to question rashly, so he couldn't bear to ask, how clever Cole Yiqin was, and he could see Dong Ningxuan's doubts at a glance.

Le Yiqin smiled and said, "Chief of Staff Dong, you must not understand me for asking the chief and deputy ministers of the logistics department to participate in the combat meeting, right?" ”

Seeing that the new commander asked, Dong Ningxuan also nodded honestly, and Le Yiqin said a little proudly: "It's very simple, the fighters and bombers of the two flight groups in the south and the north are combined, I'm afraid there are 18,900 of them, and the pressure on the logistics department has more than doubled, and the combat planes of the southern flight group are adapted to the subtropical climate, and when they arrive in Outer Mongolia, you see this day, the wind is blowing harshly, I'm afraid that it will snow in a few days, the temperature will drop sharply, and there will be more work to be done in logistics support. It's not easier than the combat troops, I got a preventive shot in advance, and I saved the time to be in a hurry! ”

Dong Ningxuan suddenly realized, and looked at Le Yiqin with admiration, he didn't take into account these details, just the replacement of lubricating oil for various parts of the combat aircraft, the replenishment of ammunition for refueling and other routine operations, the ground staff of various airports had to be busy all night.

Dong Ningxuan said: "Commander, I will first give an order to the ground support departments of each airport in advance, and the fighters of the Southern Flight Group, if they land in one batch, they will immediately guarantee one batch, otherwise, there will be a delay tomorrow!" "I'm going to make a phone call.

Le Yiqin nodded. agreed to his arrangement, and after Dong Ningxuan's figure disappeared into the house, the smile on Le Yiqin's face disappeared and was replaced by a heavy one.

There is another thing that Le Yiqin did not mention to Dong Ningxuan, according to the reports of various ground radar stations in the Outer Mongolia patrol area, the border line of Outer Mongolia is close to the side of the Soviet Union, and since this morning, Soviet planes have landed extremely frequently. At Ulan-Ude, Irkutsk, Chita, Barnaor, and other Soviet field airfields, the landing of Soviet planes was very dense, and by about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, a total of four groups of Soviet planes had been monitored.

According to the statistics of radar stations in various places, it was a whole day on September 25. The number of Soviet combat aircraft arriving at the border airfields of the USSR amounted to almost a thousand. If you estimate by this amount. It was the size of five Soviet fighter divisions, and after confirmation, two of them were bomber divisions.

Le Yiqin's heart was not as relaxed as it seemed, the integrated radar station reported a few days ago the number of Soviet fighters. It has already reached five divisions, and this is not counting one and a half fighter divisions of the Air Force of the Transcaucasian Military District of the USSR, which, combined, had to face. It will be more than 1,200 Soviet fighters.

The 12 fighter regiments of the Southern Flying Group, plus the remaining five fighter regiments of the Northern Flying Group, have nearly 1,160 fighter planes, and they do not have an advantage in the number of fighters.

The phone on the "Jingle Bell" table rang, and Le Yiqin took the phone, "I'm Le Yiqin, who are you?" ”

On the phone, Liu Cuigang's voice came, "Old man, I'm Cuigang, after you and the division commander left, I went over and over the situation of several air battles, and recalled it, I have some opinions, I don't know if it is useful to you, if you have time, come to the hospital, let's talk about it face to face!" ”

Le Yiqin's heart moved, if you talk about the experience of fighting with the Soviet Air Force, Liu Cuigang is much richer than himself, the old man invited himself at this time, there must be an important situation to talk about, thinking of this, Le Yiqin couldn't sit still anymore, and ordered Dong Ningxuan, who had just come back, to stay behind, drive a military jeep by himself, and drive to the field hospital like a wind.

When they met again a few hours later, Liu Cuigang's mental state was better, with a trace of blood on his face, and he was leaning on the pillow, waiting for him.

As soon as they met, Liu Cuigang got straight to the point and said: "Yiqin, I commanded the troops to enter the Outer Mongolia region, and fought several big battles with the Soviet Air Force, and summed up some ideas, the Soviet army's air combat tactics are relatively dull, and the level of pilots is good, but the combat will is far inferior to ours, and the Soviet army's fighter firepower, performance, speed, climb speed, and maximum ceiling are not outstanding. ”

"But the most important point is that the protective performance of the Soviet fighter is very superior, the built-in steel plate structure, can effectively protect the safety of the pilot and important parts of the aircraft, such as the fuel tank, etc., even if it is hit by a few machine gun bullets, it will not affect the combat performance, in other words, it is rough and thick and forbidden to fight, on the other hand, our fighters have Japanese blood, German blood, and Soviet blood."

"In a single-plane battle, our fighter may be killed by one or two bullets, and the two air battles suffered losses later, and the reason is this, therefore, I have an idea, whether the ammunition carried by our fighters can be replaced with high-explosive armor-piercing shells, as long as one shot hits, it can blow up a big hole in the fuselage of the Soviet fighter plane, I remember, I heard Wang Xu, director of the Military Industry Bureau, say that we have this kind of ammunition in the Dingbian Arsenal, but it is not generally equipped with front-line troops."

"There is another point, if the Soviet army wants to break through the defense line of the Seguge River, it will inevitably dispatch a large number of bombers, this is the lifeline of the Soviets, fighting such a battle, your brother is a master, I won't say more, didn't the Japanese Air Force give you the nickname of the butcher of the air!"

Le Yiqin immediately stood up, held Liu Cuigang's right hand tightly, and said: "Cuigang, your Jianyi, relieved the pressure in my heart, to be honest, in the face of a huge number of Soviet fighter groups, although I have the certainty of victory in my heart, but I am also ready to cripple the troops, now it's okay, the rough skin and thick flesh can't stand our bullets, kill the bomber group of Lao Maozi, the rest is the battle of fighters, Cuigang, you rest, I'll go to the division commander immediately!" ”

After speaking, a gust of wind left, Liu Cuigang smiled, watched his brother go away, and secretly thought to himself: "It hasn't changed at all, it's still that fiery temper!" ”

Le Yiqin drove straight to the campaign headquarters, and after seeing the division commander Tang Qiuli, he directly put forward his own request, and Tang Qiuli agreed without hesitation, and sent a telegram to Zhou Yushan, deputy director of the division's logistics department and director of the logistics department of the Outer Mongolia Campaign Headquarters, and Wang Xu, director of the Special Equipment Research Institute and director of the Dingbian Military Industry Bureau, ordering the two of them to meet the operational needs of the aviation unit by tonight and tomorrow morning.

After Le Yiqin returned to Kulun Air Command, he ordered three transport aircraft regiments to take off immediately and rush to Dingbian, coordinated with the Dingbian Aviation School and the Dingbian Air Defense Headquarters, and dispatched two more transport aircraft regiments to various field airfields in Outer Mongolia overnight to transport ammunition to ensure the troops' needs for tomorrow's battle.

As a result, on the grasslands of Outer Mongolia where night had fallen, the various field airfields of the independent division's air force began to get busy again, and one transport plane after another rose from the ground and flew in the direction of Dingbian; in Saiyin Shanda, Zhou Yushan, who received the order of the division commander, and Wang Xu, who received the order of the division commander, were immediately busy.

After a busy and tense night, the dawn of September 26 in Outer Mongolia arrived as scheduled, and on this night, Le Yiqin did not have the heart to rest at all, and did not breathe a sigh of relief until he received a report that the ammunition had been replaced and all the guarantees had been implemented by various fighter regiments.

Like Le Yiqin, the ground support departments of various field airfields of the air force, as well as various radar stations, and dozens of radar antennas, slowly rotated in the dawn of dawn, shooting beams of radio waves invisible to the naked eye into the air, and all Soviet field airfields in the Soviet Union and in the Baikal area were under surveillance.

Rubbing his sour eyes, Le Yiqin filtered his tactical arrangements in his mind again, this tactic was studied by everyone at the military meeting last night, and it is easy to say, when fighting with the Japanese air force in the Indochina Peninsula, the Southern Flying Group did not use it less.

Taking advantage of the superiority of ground radar, all the fighter regiments participating in the battle were divided into two parts, with more than half of the troops, responsible for diverting the fighter group escorted by the Soviet army, and with a small part of the troops, responsible for attacking the Soviet bomber group, and then, the two formations met and then attacked the Soviet fighter group.

The key to the implementation of this combat plan lies in the fact that Le Yiqin's aircraft group must find out in advance the course of the Soviet fighter group and bomber group, and the aircraft group will go deep into the Baikal area and divert the battlefield away from the airspace of the Sejingge River, that is to say, on the way to the bombing target of the Soviet army, Le Yiqin's aircraft group will attack, disrupt the rhythm and deployment of the Soviet army, and strike first, which can also be regarded as an ambush in another way!

If the Soviet escort fighter group does not take the bait, then it will continue to attack, from the Baikal area to the battlefield on the Sejingge River, there is a full range of seven or eight hundred kilometers, and it is strange that the Soviet air formation can withstand the air attack and harassment along the way, this kind of play is a great test of the endurance of the fighters, and the independent division group with auxiliary fuel tanks is enough to cope with a long-term air battle.

Of course, Le Yiqin also left a back hand, if the Soviet escort fighter group poured out, entangled their attack aircraft group, and let the bomber group continue to fly to the intended target, the three fighter regiments as a reserve will ambush them in the airspace north of the Sejingge River, which is easy to say but difficult to do, but with the monitoring of ground radar stations, all problems are solved.

At about 3 o'clock in the morning of 26 September, the air force of the Independent Division was still in a busy and tense atmosphere in Kulen, with staff officers coming in and out from time to time, and fighter planes were quietly waiting on the runways at various field airfields in Outer Mongolia.

At about four o'clock in the morning, a red telephone in the empty finger rang urgently.
