After finally surviving the long winter, the Russian Imperial Command immediately launched a spring counteroffensive plan.
In the past five months, the Tsarist Russian Empire has been in a passive situation since the beginning of the war because of its inadequate preparation for the early war, losing more than 3 million square kilometers of land in the seven states of the Far East, not to mention the strong fortresses of Vladivostok and Boli, and losing nearly 600,000 troops and hundreds of millions of dollars in materials to the enemy after several large-scale battles, which can be described as a fiasco.
In the sixth month of the war, although spring came very late in the north, the warmer weather allowed the Russian army to expand its range of activities and launch a spring counteroffensive plan.
At this time, the Tsarist Empire had opened up the Baikal section of the Trans-Siberian Railway, and after emergency preparations in winter, the previously lost materials were replenished, and subsequent supplies were not a problem.
The Russian Imperial Command mobilized 150,000 troops to assemble in Central Siberia and the ancient plateau of Trans-Méng, aiming at the Chinese emperor in the Far East, and was murderous.
The plan of the spring counteroffensive of the Russian High Command was drawn up by the Chief of the General Staff Ivangelinsky, the core of which was: to concentrate strong forces on the northern front, through the Verkhninyyansk Mountains in Sakha Oblast, where Guò was empty in defense, to enter the Khabarovsk Territory, to encircle the Chinese Emperor Louli in the Far East from the flank, to defeat the Chinese Emperor in battle, and to recover Vladivostok and the seven states of the Far East. Then he waved his army south, crossed the Heilongjiang River and the Ussuri River, and cooperated with the navy transferred from afar to attack the Chinese Empire itself.
Originally, Sukhomlinov, the minister of the Russian 6th Army, was preparing to attack Inner Méng Gu first, and use Méng Gu as a bargaining chip to exchange with the Chinese Empire for the seven states of the Far East. However, most of the Russians have illusions about fighting with the Chinese Empire for a long time and hope to end the war as soon as they can recover the seven states of the Far East, because Russia's finances have been hollowed out and they will not be able to support it for long.
In this way, the Russian Empire abandoned its plan for a decisive battle in Inner Ménggu1 and turned to the Far Eastern Frontier.
After the formulation of plan 1, Ivangelinsky used only 9 divisions to place them in the Kulen and Uriya Sutai areas of the southern front, with the Cossack cavalry regiment as the main force, and went out to monitor the movement of the fourth theater of the Chinese Empire in the ancient direction of the inner méng, while on the northern front, the main force was concentrated in 7 army groups, a total of 78 divisions, and the 130,000 army was divided into left and right wings with the model as the axis. Two armies on the right flank, with a total of 23 divisions totaling 380,000 men, defended the Nebuchu fortress and attacked the two important towns of Tenda and Skovorodino for the strategic purpose of opening up the Trans-Siberian Railway and the communication artery to the Amur Region. The five armies on the left flank, with a total of 55 divisions and a total of 920,000 men, bypassed the Trans-Khingan Mountains, crossed the Lena River, crossed the Zhugzhur Mountains, regained the Khabarovsk Territory, and then moved south along the plain to attack Tengda and Skovorodino from the rear of the Trans-Khingan Ridge. After taking the two places, the lines of communication were opened, and the two armies attacked the fortresses of Boli and Vladivostok respectively, recovering the Amur region and Primorsky Krai.
Since the winter offensive, the Chinese Emperor has achieved brilliant results. The General Staff and the 1st Theater Command believed that a frenzied retaliatory action by the Russian army was imminent. When the enemy is crazy in the art of war, when he retreats to avoid his edge, consumes his sharp energy, and then counterattacks, he will hit with one blow.
From the beginning of the founding of the Chinese Emperor's army, from the Yongping Autumn Drill to the Queshan Military Exercise, the Chinese Emperor was good at playing defensive counterattacks and pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.
Therefore, of the seven operational plans drawn up by the General Staff, the No. 3 operational plan, which was mainly based on defensive counterattacks, was finally demonstrated and began to be implemented.
The core of Plan 1 is that the real purpose of the Tsarist Emperor ** to gather the main forces in the Yakutsk direction is to capture the well-fortified Tengda and Skovorodino, and to open up the strategic transportation lines of the two places as the first priority. Because if the lines of communication here cannot be opened, the supply of ammunition and supplies will be restricted, and the Russian army will not be able to launch an offensive against Vladivostok and Boli in the Far East. Therefore, the Chinese Emperor ** wants to launch an active defense here, and use these two places as bait to have another enemy in-depth defense and counterattack.
The General Staff of the Chinese Empire planned to take the initiative to make a strategic retreat in the Khabarovsk Territory, in order to lead the main force of the Russian army across the Zhugzhur Mountains and into the plains, and then wait for an opportunity to carry out a strategic counteroffensive and destroy the left flank corps of the Russian army in one fell swoop. The General Staff ordered the First Front to have about 200,000 men,
The Third Army Group was formed to hold the two places of Tenda and Skovorodino. The Second Front Army and the Third Front Army, as well as the newly established Fifth Front Army, formed the First and Second Army Groups, with a total strength of 120,000 troops, and the main forces of the First Army Group were assembled on the line of Jieya Lake and Jieya River in the strategic rear of Tengda, and built strong fortifications and various machine-gun bunkers, as well as artillery positions. The 2nd Army Group left a small force in the Khabarovsk Territory as a blocking force, while the main main force quietly moved north, withdrew from the Khabarovsk Territory, secretly assembled in Magadan, Kamchatka, and supplied the port of Magadan by sea.
The Chinese Emperor once again laid a big pocket, waiting for the Russian army to drill into it. And the Russian army was abused for a winter, which can be described as very violent, and they can't wait to wipe out all the Chinese emperors in one go.
This kind of irritable psychology has become the unanimous mentality of almost all commanders on the Russian side from top to bottom, so the Chinese emperor is not worried that the Russian army will not drill into the pocket.
In terms of ancient méng, the General Staff of the Chinese Empire did not choose the battlefield of the decisive battle in northern Xinjiang (the Russian Far Eastern Frontier), but chose the border area between the outer and inner méng. Because the Russian army drove more than 600,000 troops into Waimenggu at that time, the Chinese Empire had to respond.
In April, the Chinese Emperor Wang Chenhao had decreed that the princess of the Shao Wuda Korqin League, Borzigit and Salina, should be canonized as Concubine Li, and the princess of Erut of the Alxa League, Ulan Qiqige, as Concubine Zhuang.
In this way, the Horqin League and the Alxa League, the two largest tribes in the Inner Méng Dynasty, became the emperor's relatives, and the Thirty-six Banners of the Inner Méng Ancient Banners led by them once again showed their loyalty to the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Wang Chenhao, and formed a total strength of 350,000 Méng Ancient Cavalry Troops.
With such a large cavalry force, even if it is not sure to defeat the Russian Cossack cavalry regiment, it can at least retain the right to control the cavalry in the ancient area of Méng, so that the infantry of the **6th Army of the Chinese Emperor can safely advance to the outer Ménggu, and finally rely on the infantry to defeat the Russian army and recover the outer Ménggu.
In order to further encircle the Horqin Department and the Alxa Department, Wang Chenhao issued several holy decrees one after another, promoting Concubine Li's Daji Hadan Batel (interpreted as a resolute hero) to the commander of the Royal First Cavalry Legion Cavalry General, and promoted Concubine Zhuang's younger brother Gegenhas (Ze Weimingyu) to the commander of the Royal Second Cavalry Legion Cavalry Lieutenant General.
And the name royal is only out of the meaning of enveloping. Of course, at the same time, the officers of the other méng ancient ministries were also promoted, as a cage.
The equipment of the Royal 1st Cavalry Regiment and the 2nd Cavalry Regiment was allocated directly by the General Logistics Department, and was equipped with a Browning Type 97 cavalry rifle, a war knife and various combat equipment.
As relatives of the emperor, Hadanbatel and Gegenhaas were also very active in stepping up the training of cavalry units, and began to expel the invading Russian Cossack cavalry.
With these 350,000 cavalry troops, the strategic situation of the Chinese Emperor ** in Méng Gu was suddenly reversed, and he was no longer passively beaten, and sometimes he could carry out appropriate counterattacks.
However, as the General Staff shifted its strategic focus to northern Xinjiang, the combat mission of the Fourth Theater of Operations was only defensive, so the Fourth Theater immediately strengthened the training of the Royal First Cavalry Corps and the Second Cavalry Corps, and carried out appropriate reorganization to make them conform to the establishment of the Sixth Army of the Chinese Empire.
On May 4, 19o2 AD, the right-wing Tsarist Emperor ** launched a fierce attack on the Tengda line, but was met with stubborn resistance from the Chinese Emperor**. The Russian army did not intend to capture Tengda quickly, so after a short period of strong attack, they began to hold each other, waiting for the left flank army to outflank it.
However, the Russian army sent a powerful force of airships to bomb Tenda and Skovorodino.
On this day, the wind and sun were beautiful, which was suitable for the airship to carry out tactical bombing and bombing, and the commander of the Russian army's right flank, General Paulnev, immediately ordered the airship troops to be dispatched.
In the early morning of 8 May, 30 Russian zeppelins departed from the Nebuchu fortress and arrived in the air about 70 kilometers away from Tengda at 11 a.m.
At this time, the Russian observer on the flagship airship suddenly appeared, and there was a buzzing sound in the air in front of him, and the sound became louder and louder, and the Russian soldiers on the airship crouched on the edge of the pod and watched.
At about 12 o'clock, a Jian-1C reconnaissance plane of the Imperial Chinese Air Force flew over the left flank of the Russian airship formation. The sudden appearance of the plane stunned the Russian airship personnel.
What is this?
The first time they saw a plane, everyone didn't know why, and some even shouted that it was a flying dragon beast.
Only the commander could clearly see through the telescope that the other party was the dragon flag of the Emperor of China.
"It's the enemy!"
With a loud shout, the Russian troops on the airship suddenly panicked, and they took out their pistols one after another to shoot at the planes that were circling around.
There were two people sitting on the reconnaissance plane, the pilot in front and the observer in the back recording the number of Russian airships and the personnel of the airships.
The plane cruised at 35 knots, circled around the Russian airship unit, and after a few turns, flew away.
The sudden appearance of the plane made the people of the Russian airship unit panic, and the affairs they did not know were always the most terrifying. The commander, Lieutenant Colonel Shilov, was even more lined with cold sweat on his forehead, if that was the secret weapon of the Imperial Chinese Air Force, then what would it be.
Lean over to take a bird's-eye view of the earth, thousands of meters in the air, and if there is danger, fall down.
Shilov couldn't help but gasp, only to feel goosebumps all over his body.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, just as the Russian airship unit was flying over the sky less than 15 kilometers away from Tengda, six planes that were similar to those just now suddenly appeared on the opposite side.
Shilov couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly became worried.
After receiving the information that the Russian airship was attacking, the fighter squadron immediately took off. Captain Gao Peng led six J-1A fighters to the skies.
In the cockpit of the lead plane OO 1, Gao Pengtong Guò telescope observed the Russian airship unit.
Behemoths with no defenses. All it takes is to penetrate the airship's airbags and it will be enough to crash the airship. And the huge body of the airship and its slow movement are really a piece of cake for the J-1 fighter, and simple aiming is enough to hit.
Gao Peng played a gesture of penetrating in depth, combining shots, and shooting at his own. Then with a slap on the accelerator, the fighter climbed upward.
The other five fighters soon received the order and followed the lead plane to make movements.
"Attack!"
Gao Peng shouted, stepped on the accelerator again, and the fighter swooped down with a roar, and rushed straight towards the Russian airship. Five other planes followed, also doing dive maneuvers.
The distance was getting closer and closer, and at three or four hundred meters, Gao Peng attached himself to the direction of the nose of the plane, passed the big crosshair on the heavy machine gun, aimed at the difficult target, and pulled the trigger.
"Dada-da-da!"
The machine gun opened fire suddenly, and in an instant, more than a dozen bullets were fired.
When the piercing sound of breaking the air sounded, Shilov's heart suddenly rose to his throat. When he saw the flickering fire on the plane, he knew something was wrong.
"Enemy attack!"
Before he could finish speaking, the machine-gun bullets had already strafed over.
"Puff puff!" the bullet suddenly pierced the air bag, and the hydrogen inside began to leak out. Although the Zeppelin has strong airbag management and damage management measures, the penetration of the bullet is too strong, and a single bullet can basically penetrate the airship, and more than a dozen small airbags are destroyed inside at once.
"Dada-da-da!"
Gao Peng pulled the trigger again, and another line of bullets came after a short burst.
This time, the bullet grazed the steel frame, and the fire cracked and ignited the hydrogen in the airbag.
"Boom!
The airbags in the Zeppelin exploded one after another, and in an instant, a large fire burst into flames. Then there was a huge explosion, and the entire airship disintegrated in an instant, and the flames and thick smoke flew for hundreds of meters.
"Dada-da-da!"
The other five fighters immediately following Gao Peng also opened fire one after another, like wolves rushing into a sheepfold, recklessly attacking the Russian airship.
"Boom, boom!" Russian airships were hit one after another, caught fire, and exploded and disintegrated in a few seconds.
The Russian troops on the airship pod were thrown into the air one after another in the violent shaking, doing "self-movement" from the falling body.
They wailed and broke their hearts, for they all knew that one of the most cruel ways of death awaited them, to be smashed alive into meat sauce.
Gao Peng led a squadron of fighters, interspersed back and forth, divided into joint attacks, and shot down all 30 airships in less than half an hour.
Despite the fact that the Russian troops on the airship fired at them, this kind of shooting was almost negligible for a fast-flying fighter.
A complete victory is a tactical victory as well as a strategic victory.
After the fighter squadron of the Imperial Chinese Air Force eliminated the Russian airship unit, it immediately returned home and hid in the hangar.
And the Russian soldiers who are carrying out the offensive operation in Tengda are looking forward to their own airships coming over to help in the war, so that the Chinese emperor can also taste the taste of being bombed and barbecued.
However, they waited left and right for no news, and finally saw a series of violent explosions in the distant sky, and the light of a fire as bright as the sun, their hearts sank to the bottom.
When the bad news came, the offensive of the Russian army on the front line suddenly weakened and morale was low. Similarly, when Paulnev learned that the airship unit he sent out had been wiped out, he was dumbfounded.
How so?
Paulnev didn't understand the thirty airships, and the effort was reimbursed in the blink of an eye, but for what reason.
Paul Nev couldn't know why, because the airship was completely destroyed, and no one came back alive to tell him what terrible things had happened.
Paulnev couldn't find the reason, but he hoped that Tengda could be captured on the front line as soon as possible, so as to wash away the huge humiliation caused by the wisps of humiliation caused by the Chinese emperor ** this winter.
The next day, Paulnev again sent all the remaining twenty-five airships out to rush to the front line.
However, soon Paulnev was again reported that twenty-five ships had been destroyed again, and witnesses said that the airships had exploded in the air and appeared to have been attacked by some birds, but the reason was unknown.
Paulnev completely collapsed, and fifty-five airships were cut off by him in two days, which was a luxury bought by Hua with a huge amount of money, and he was reimbursed before he saw the results of the battle, which really made him ashamed.
Soon, the Russian high command learned about this and inevitably scolded Paulnev. However, the Russian high command was not simple, and they quickly obtained the information they needed from the Russian civilians near Tengda, and knew that the Imperial Chinese Air Force suddenly had a new weapon, but they did not know what it was.
Subsequently, the Russian High Command intensified its intelligence collection of the Chinese Imperial Army. After spending a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources, I can only get some useful news.
"Airplanes?"
"What's that?"
These two sentences suddenly became a buzzword among people all over the world who read the newspaper.
After the Tengda air battle, the news of the total annihilation of the Russian airship unit spread far and wide, which immediately aroused the great attention of military experts all over the world. Why a powerful airship force of fifty-five ships was wiped out in the blink of an eye is a question that everyone is concerned about. As for what an airplane is, they only knew that it was a flying machine through guò intelligence, and combined with the information provided by the current scientific researchers in various countries in this field, they finally understood that the airplane was something similar to a water dragonfly aircraft that they had ignored earlier.
The countries immediately invested personnel in the study of airplanes, but because they were misled by the Chinese Empire, they kept flying airships, so that there were very few aircraft projects in their country, and even if there were civilian researchers, the planes they built could only fly more than ten meters.
However, since then, there has been a new term in the world, airplane. The aircraft of the Chinese Empire finally became famous because of the Tengda air battle, and became a world-class aviation power sought after by people in the international aviation community in the future. !。
