Tang Qiuli raised the telescope suspiciously, looked at the sky where the voice came, through the smoke of the war, in the distant sky, a group of small black dots appeared in the telescope, "Soviet plane!" He made a judgment in an instant.

"Yuhe, order the 1st and 2nd Air Defense Brigades to immediately set up a tight anti-aircraft fire network over the battlefield to ensure that the attacking troops will not be disturbed! Hurry up and get all the personnel out of the tent! Hide now! Tang Qiuli pushed away several special guards who came over to cover, and said loudly to Zhao Yuhe.

The mountain tiger rushed over in a few steps, and together with a few special guards, he set him up and ran behind a cliff, Tang Qiuli struggled and shouted: "Huzi, you are confused, hurry up and help the people in the tent evacuate, do I need so many people to protect?" ”

The mountain tiger didn't say a word, just pulled him to run hard, just found a hidden place, ten minutes later, the Soviet army's aircraft group, flew overhead, in the woods on the hill, several tents, in the bright sunshine, very eye-catching, two Soviet fighters, out of formation, swooped down from the sky.

"Da-da-da-!" Several tongues of fire fell from the sky, breaking the tent apart, and the Soviet fighter roared away, almost grazing the high treetops, and the huge air wave rolled the fragments of the tent into the sky, and was blown away by the north wind.

Tang Qiuli patted the dirt and broken branches and leaves on his body, got up from the ground, his face was gloomy, there were at least 300 Soviet combat planes, for the final attack of the troops, it would definitely bring great interference, and the most important thing was to encourage the morale of the Soviet soldiers in the encirclement, and the impact would destroy the plan of the 43rd Group Army of the Soviet Army.

Tang Qiuli looked at the mountain tiger beside him and asked, "Huzi, are there any casualties among the division commanders?" ”

The mountain tiger looked at the sky vigilantly, and replied in a deep voice, "I don't know yet." I guess it's okay, Chief of Staff Zhao organized the evacuation, if it weren't for your safety, the heavy machine gun in my hand would definitely be able to beat one down! Whoa! The mountain tiger pulled the bolt of the gun heavily, and a yellow bullet with the thickness of a thumb jumped to the ground with an arc, "Hmph, it's cheap!" ”

Tang Qiuli didn't speak. Looking at the scattered and concealed command personnel, coming out from everywhere, they were not wolves, and they were immediately relieved to dodge in time. There should be no casualties, thanks to Chen Feng's communications office. In a hidden place behind a cliff. Otherwise, communication equipment will suffer.

Zhao Yuhe hurriedly came over, without waiting for Tang Qiuli to ask, and said, "Division commander, there are no casualties, but the tent can't be used." The Soviet plane appeared, it is no longer safe here, Captain Huang, please arrange for the division commander to transfer immediately! He commanded the mountain tiger urgently.

Then. The sky over the battlefield was already covered with black smoke when anti-aircraft shells exploded, and you could see without binoculars that the Soviet planes were constantly dive bombing and low whistling sounds, which intensified the tense atmosphere on the battlefield.

Tang Qiuli frowned, "Yuhe, order Zheng Yong's artillery to start shelling immediately, and order the air defense forces to buy at least an hour for the ground troops!" He snapped.

The sudden appearance of Soviet combat planes disrupted the original attack plan, but now it is ready to be fired, if you give up at this time, not only will you fall short, but in the process of withdrawing the troops, you will also be killed and injured by a large number of Soviet planes, fortunately, there are only more than 300 planes, if Chutian does not give the Soviet army field airfield, with the destruction of mière, his own battle, it will not be easy to fight!

Although the two air defense brigades had hundreds of antiaircraft guns to support a dense antiaircraft fire network, they could not completely block the attacks of the Soviet planes, and from time to time heavy aerial bombs fell on the artillery positions, blowing up balls of earth and fire, and the artillery units suffered casualties.

Lieutenant General Bamyyanov, who was in the encirclement, turned pale with excitement and flushed with a sickly flush, grabbed the ground-to-air intercom, and said in a trembling voice: "I am Commander Bamiyanov, on behalf of all the soldiers and officers of the 43rd Army, thank you to the comrades of the Air Force!" Thank you very much! ”

Lieutenant General Bamiyanov's thanks, absolutely sincere, sincere to the point that there was no impurities at all, but the Soviet air commander who commanded the formation had a bad feeling in his heart.

Just because he could only dispatch more than 300 fighters and bombers, he was almost not scolded to death by the general Vasilevsky, but Comrade General, who knows the suffering of the Air Force, not to mention anything else, these planes are still more than a dozen airfields, put together, moreover, the fuel is also insufficient, and the roads that have been washed away by floods have not yet been repaired, and oil and materials cannot be delivered.

The ground service department worked hard to collect all the fuel, and only barely replenished each combat aircraft with only about one-third of the usual amount of fuel, and it could be over the battlefield for half an hour, even if it was good, when the time came, no matter what the ground was, the formation must return, otherwise, it would fall halfway, if it weren't for these incompetent army forces, why would they take this risk with more than 300 planes?

There was anger in his stomach, and he had to say a few polite words on the surface, "Comrade commander, this is what our air force should do, and it is all Red Army units under the leadership of Comrade Stalin, but there is a situation that I must inform you, because the logistics supply line has never been restored, and the fuel for our combat aircraft is only enough to stay in the sky over the battlefield for less than 30 minutes!" The commander of the Soviet air formation said in a non-salty manner.

Lieutenant General Bamiyanov, then care about these, not to mention thirty minutes, that is, three minutes, for himself who is on the verge of despair, it is also precious, what he fancies, is not that the 300 planes of the Air Force can repel the troops of the independent division and relieve the siege for himself, but for the encirclement, the morale of the troops is what he needs the most, with this morale, support until the arrival of reinforcements, and a little more certainty!

Braving the strafing and bombing of Soviet planes, Zheng Yong's artillery unit, with 10,000 artillery pieces fired in unison, began a fierce artillery bombardment of the 43rd Army's last firmly held position.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom! The earth trembled, clusters of earth flowers stirred, and a huge roar echoed in the air.

"Report to the division commander, the artillery on time to the central positions held by the Soviet troops, artillery shelling! The armored troops and infantry are ready to attack at any time," Zhao Yuhe put down the phone and said to Tang Qiuli.

Tang Qiuli didn't speak, his brows were furrowed, the expression on his face was solemn and stern, I don't know why, a feeling of uneasiness, suddenly swept through his mood, the Soviet army sent more than 300 combat planes, of course, it was not to break the siege, in fact, it could not be done, and this was the largest air force that Vasilevsky could mobilize at present, otherwise, if there were hundreds more planes, I am afraid that he would have to retreat immediately.

"Division commander, the Soviet plane has returned! The shelling has been going on for twenty-five minutes, whether to order the tanks and infantry, ready to launch the final attack! Zhao Yuhe put down the phone and turned around to say, interrupting Tang Qiuli's train of thought.

Tang Qiuli stared at the direction of the battlefield filled with gunpowder, and did not respond to Zhao Yuhe's words, "Division Commander! Teachers! Zhao Yuhe shouted again, "The troops are still waiting for your order!" ”

Tang Qiuli was just about to nod, but the feeling of uneasiness became more and more intense, Vasilevsky, knowing that more than 300 combat planes could not relieve the siege of the Soviet 43rd Army, why did he still send them out? Is it just to buy a little time for the encircled Soviet troops?

It won't be that simple, "Division commander, I received an urgent telegram from the reconnaissance unit, the Soviet mechanized troops were divided into four routes, and they were rushing to the Barekcha battlefield at full speed, and it is expected that they will arrive in an hour and a half, according to the observation and statistics of the scouts, the strength of the Soviet army on the fourth route is about 60,000 people," Chen Feng, director of the communications department, hurriedly ran over, panting and reported.

By the way, Tang Qiuli was shocked, and in his mind, he suddenly strung all his doubts together, and suddenly became clear, why the Soviet army, which was eager to break through, suddenly stuck to wait for reinforcements, why did the Soviet army send planes, bait, the remnants of the Soviet 43rd Group Army were just a bait, luring themselves to swallow it, and when digesting, the Soviet reinforcements arrived quickly, although there were only 60,000 people, but once they were entangled, they were followed by more than one million Soviet main forces.

Even when he was about to strike the last blow, he still underestimated Vasilevsky's command ability and the Soviet army's ability to maneuver quickly, more than a day earlier than he expected.

"Yuhe, immediately convey my order to the troops, the artillery immediately stop the shelling, quickly withdraw from the position, and move in the direction of Kulen, after the artillery evacuation, the tanks and infantry will immediately leave the battlefield and move in the direction of Kulen, be quick, Soviet reinforcements will arrive immediately!" Tang Qiuli said anxiously, "Tell the brigade commanders, don't hesitate, let alone fight, and order Ouyang Yishan's second brigade and Chu Ziye's fourth brigade to block the direction where the Soviet reinforcements are coming." ”

Zhao Yuhe's face changed, and he said: "Division commander, it's just the last blow, it only takes thirty minutes, we can kill the Soviet army in the encirclement, can we send six brigades of troops to block the attack, two brigades of troops to encircle and annihilate the encircled Soviet army, just give up, it's a pity!" ”
