Chapter 368: A War That Can't Be Refused
"Guys, watch out for the fighters of the Red Alert Empire, we are about to approach North Korea."
Inside the closed canopy, a Soviet pilot was alerting other aircraft.
The Gla-3 fighter of the Soviet Air Force, flying above the white clouds, this is a fighter produced by the Soviet Union during World War II, and the production is not bad, so far, almost seven thousand units have been produced.
It's still an advanced fighter, but it's also compared to some ordinary German fighters.
Behind this Soviet fighter, followed by a dense swarm, all Gra-3 fighters, there were two hundred.
Three days earlier, a month after the landing of the Third Theater in Luojin, the Executive Cabinet of the Red Alert Empire had sent a note to the Soviet Union, demanding that the Soviet Union return the 150 square kilometers of land occupied by Tsarist Russia and withdraw from Outer Mongolia in its entirety.
It's just that on such conditions, how could Stalin agree to it.
After all, he had already learned that although the Red Alert Empire had been preparing in the Far East for a month, it seemed that the number of troops was only 500,000, and there was no sign of continuing to increase the troops.
And under the organization of Vasilevsky, the Soviet army in the Far East was restored to a million scale, and was equipped with thousands of tanks and thousands of artillery pieces, which, in Stalin's opinion, could completely fight the Red Guard Empire in the Far East.
Although he was still very worried about the Red Guard Empire and Germany, Stalin still chose to refuse this so-called unreasonable demand of the Red Guard Empire.
When the Red Alert Empire's demands were rejected, it immediately declared war on the Soviet Union.
This move was fully supported by Germany, and even the mustache announced that the war in the Soviet Union was coming to an end.
Vasilevsky, who was in the Far East, did not refuse Stalin's order, for a simple reason, if the Red Guard Empire really only wanted these lands and would not get an inch more, he would persuade Stalin to be patient.
But what Vasilevsky considered was that the war had reached the present, and the so-called return of 1.5 million square kilometers of land was only a pretext for starting a war, and without this pretext, the Red Alert Empire had completely other excuses to provoke a war.
Vasilevsky saw very clearly that even if the 1.5 million square kilometers of land were really returned, the Red Alert Empire would still attack the Soviet Union, and the war was no longer a question of who would let go of whom, otherwise, the war would have ended long ago.
Germany wanted to completely destroy the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union also wanted to counterattack Germany, completely defeat Germany, kill the mustache, and even dominate the whole of Europe.
And the Red Alert Empire could not just satisfy this Far Eastern lands, the Red Alert Empire had always been here for more territorial interests of the Soviet Union.
Otherwise, if it is really 1.5 million square kilometers of land that can satisfy the appetite of the Red Alert Empire, it is not impossible for the Soviet Union to make such a decision, even if it is humiliating, but it is better than being destroyed.
For the Soviet Union, war was inevitable, and it had to fight with all its might.
The Far Eastern Front, under the personal command of Vasilevsky, was also not afraid to create a motorist. Rub, giving the Red Alert Empire an excuse for war, a large number of fighters were sent to alert, and at the same time reconnaissance planes and fighters were also sent to the Rajin area.
This is not a provocation, but to avoid being caught off guard by the Red Alert Empire.
This batch of Soviet fighters near the border with North Korea is already the sixth batch in three days, and every time the Soviet Air Force makes a sortie, one or two hundred of them act together.
The powerful air force of the Red Alert Empire has made it impossible for Japan to find the north and south, and the Soviets have already seen it, not to mention that the US Air Force has two lessons from the past in front of the Japanese Air Force, and the Soviets are also quite careful.
In the two days since the official declaration of war, air patrols and alerts have been fairly calm.
Today's 200 fighters are not here to patrol, but to attack Rozin by air, and although Vasilevsky has put on a defensive posture, it does not mean that they will really be beaten passively.
Two hundred Gra-3 fighters are just the vanguard, testing the defense and firepower of the third theater of the Red Police Empire, and there are aircraft groups in the rear to accompany the advance.
Just when this group of fighters was about to cross the border line with North Korea, an exclamation came from the pilot plane: "Pay attention to the sky, all pay attention to the sky, I have seen the fighters of the Red Alert Empire!" Oh my God, there are too many fighters in the Red Alert Empire......"
The exclamation from the headset made all the Soviet pilots instinctively raise their heads.
I saw that in the high altitude in front of them, dense planes appeared in the sky, and no one could count how many there were, like locusts covering the sky, making people's scalps tingle.
The commander of the fighter unit also hurriedly shouted: "All down in height and ready for battle." ”
The Red Alert Empire's fighter jets flew at altitudes far beyond the 9,700-meter ceiling of the Gra-3, and it would be a desperate thing to engage such an enemy at high altitude.
Because the enemy was able to easily climb into the air and get rid of the Soviet fighters. entanglement, and reoccupy the high ground and launch an attack.
In the past three days, the movements of Soviet fighter jets have all been closely monitored, and the Red Police Air Force will naturally not sit idly by in this large-scale air invasion by the Soviets.
The third theater did not dispatch jet fighters, and it was a bit of a waste to use jet fighters to deal with the air force fighters of various countries in World War II, and the first-generation Intruder fighters that were still in service were enough to deal with it.
Although there are currently only 400 jet fighters in the Third Theater, a large number of first-generation Intruder fighters are still retained.
Dispatch, annihilation, it is impossible to sit stupidly and wait for death.
In the rapidly dispersed Soviet fleet, the shouts were scattered in the headphones.
Before quite a few Soviet fighters could react, disaster had already struck.
The intruder fighters, which had the advantage of high altitude, began one after another, and a large number of rockets flew into the fleet of Soviet fighters, and these rockets did not need guidance at all, but only needed to be fired at the target at a suitable distance and at a suitable angle under the command of the AWACS aircraft.
Dense rockets fell on the bodies of Soviet fighters, fixed delay fuses, and when they flew over the Soviet fleet, they exploded one after another.
The radius of the explosion covers an area of six or seven meters, and the rocket launchers are like fireworks, and the scene is very spectacular.
This was a pain for the Soviet pilots, the dense group of planes rushed into the wall of fire like a swarm of flies, two hundred fighters, a lot of them, but when they passed through the layers of explosive barrage, less than half of the fighters survived, and each one of them had wounds.
Some of the fighters, which were not directly destroyed, also crumbled and smoked.
