Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The tent was filled with the roar of General Kulykin, the commander of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region. His words left the military region¡¯s chief of staff, Zernenko, completely speechless. He didn¡¯t know how to explain it to the comrade, who was about to lose his mind.  .

    The core of the offensive plan is that the air force fleet is blocked by the independent division fleet, which is the key to the success or failure of the attack. In this case, one should consider whether to postpone the attack, or simply cancel the attack.

    The four infantry corps of the Far East Front are rushing day and night to fight in Outer Mongolia.  However, the troops of the Transcaucasus Military District can adjust their deployment and replenish ammunition and supplies. From the heart of Chief of Staff Zirnenko, I hope that General Kulykin can calm down, or in other words, face the situation.  In reality, we have tried many times to rely solely on ground firepower, but there is no successful precedent.

    After General Kulykin finished losing his temper, Chief of Staff Zernenko said calmly: "Comrade Commander, according to my judgment, the air force fleet may not be able to complete the plan. Should we cancel this attack?" His attitude was no.  It's like asking for instructions, but making suggestions.

    When General Kulykin heard this, he exploded and asked in a stern tone: "What? Comrade Zernenko, what are you talking about? Cancel the attack! You can tell, we are preparing for this attack  After many times, you know that the attack will be canceled just because the air force fleet does not arrive on time, no! Never! Convey my order, the time of attack will be changed to 6 o'clock in the morning, without the support of the air force!  Let¡¯s fight too!¡±

    From the actual situation on the battlefield, General Kulykin must continue to fight, even if he bites the bullet. Tens of thousands of troops are ready, and the arrow has to be fired. If the attack is cancelled.  The impact on the morale of the troops is more serious than returning without success. The reason why we have to wait until six o'clock is because General Kulykin still holds on to a glimmer of hope that the air force fleet can get rid of the obstruction of the independent division fleet and arrive on time, even if only a part of it arrives on time.  Yes.

    General Kulykin imagined things too beautifully and simply. Lieutenant General Jonasov, the commander of the Soviet air fleet, is now in a miserable situation. "I have been in the Air Force for most of my life. I have never seen an air battle like this."  Damn, despicable Chinese!" he cursed through gritted teeth.

    Le Yiqin¡¯s tactics were absolutely unbeatable. After his own fighter jets dispersed the Soviet escort fighter group, he did not pursue them.  Instead, he plunged into a group of Soviet bombers, flying up and down and having a great time.  When the Soviet fighter jets gathered together again.  The Soviet fighter pilots were helpless for a while. There were about 200 Chinese fighter jets mixed in with more than 540 bombers. How to fight this battle?

    "I'm afraid that even shooting is at a loss. If I'm not careful, bullets will hit my own bombers."  The fighters of the independent division had no such scruples. Instead, they used their own bombers as cover and did not fight head-on.  The only way to take the edge off was to throw a hail of bullets at them. It could not hit the fighter planes, but it could also hit the bombers. It was a rat-proof weapon. The Soviet fighter pilots fought this battle with suffocation and anger.

    I saw bombers one after another, either blown into pieces in the air, or falling to the ground with smoke and fire all over their bodies, whining. Nothing could be done. If they were to shoot down again, when the bombers were gone, it would be the turn of the escorting fighter jets. The number of them was originally  Without any advantage, the battle was fought timidly. In desperation, Lieutenant General Jonasov issued an order to withdraw from the battle, because there were not many targets left that needed escort.

    The fighter jets chasing the Independent Division fighter group have yet to come back for reinforcements. If they do not withdraw, I am afraid that the fighter jets of the two regiments will be spoiled by the independent division fighter group. The air battle started at 3:30 in the morning and lasted until 5 o'clock in the morning.  In a few minutes, nearly two hours, three Soviet bomber divisions, with more than 540 bombers and less than a few dozen remaining, hurriedly withdrew to Irkut under the protection of two Soviet fighter regiments.  g direction.

    Of course, Le Yiqin would not let go of such a good opportunity. He chased and attacked the Soviet fighter group. He knew well that the other Soviet fighter groups would never be able to come back for reinforcements. This was also true.

    After receiving the order from the commander, Lieutenant General Jonasov, the Soviet fighter jets that were chasing after them gave up their target and prepared to return in formation to rescue them. However, it was not that easy to leave, and they were chased.  The angry independent division fighter pilots learned from the air combat situation report that the commander had already obtained the victory. It was meaningless to continue to lure the enemy. The Soviet fighter jets would be easily let go.

    As a result, the commanders of each fleet issued an order, and the independent division fighter jets that had been escaping in embarrassment just now suddenly changed their faces, turned around and pounced on them. The Soviet fighter jets had no choice but to fight. They fought hard in their own different airspaces.  Huh.

    The scope of the air battle was so wide that the airspace around Lake Baikal was divided into more than a dozen battlefields. The fighting was so dark that Le Yiqin¡¯s aerial guerrilla warfare style was hard to come by.The Soviet army's large fleet of more than 1,500 combat aircraft was torn into more than a dozen pieces, and after the strength of the Soviet aircraft fleet was dispersed, they were broken into pieces.

    Le Yiqin commanded three fighter regiments, chasing and fighting all the way, and killed the remaining dozens of Soviet bombers. At nearly six o'clock in the morning, the three Soviet bomber divisions had more than 540 fighter jets, all of which were  The army was wiped out, and not even one was left. Even the plane of Lieutenant General Jonasov, deputy commander of the Air Force of the Don River Military District of the Soviet Union, was hit by two bullets. Fortunately, it was not a vital part. Plus, his wingman, and  Comrade Lieutenant General will become a martyr of the Soviet Air Force if he fights to cover himself at the cost of being beaten up and exploded in the air.

    Looking at the fuel gauge, Le Yiqin smiled proudly and issued an order: "Attention, all aircraft groups, immediately break away from the battle and return home. If that aircraft group is bitten by Soviet fighter jets and cannot escape, you can call for help. I still have three regiments in hand."  !¡±

    The leaders of more than a dozen fighter regiments were speechless for a while, "Commander, aren't you being rude? We are chasing Lao Maozi's fighter jets and fighting fiercely, okay?"

    No one picked up the issue. Le Yiqin laughed loudly and said: "I don't want to listen anymore! Then execute the return order!"

    Driving the injured fighter, Lieutenant General Jonasov sent a message to General Kulykin, "Comrade Commander Kulykin, our mixed fleet was attacked by the independent division's large fleet in the airspace north of the Selenga River.  The bomber group was completely wiped out, and the fighter group suffered heavy losses and had to withdraw from the battle and return home. The original bombing mission could not be completed! "

    After General Kulykin received this heartbreaking telegram, he was stunned for a few minutes. The last glimmer of hope was shattered. How could such a huge mixed fleet suffer a big loss?  It¡¯s really incomprehensible!

    Looking at his watch, he saw that there were still ten minutes until six o'clock in the morning. General Kulykin gritted his teeth, crumpled Lieutenant General Jonasov's telegram into a ball, held it tightly in his hand, and said in a cold tone:  "Order, the attack force launches the attack on time!"

    The Soviet artillery began to bombard. Countless artillery shells, with screams that pierced the air, passed over the Selenge River and landed on the independent division position. Liu Hongzhang held a telescope and observed the other side of the river. He heard that the Soviet artillery shells were not falling.  After counting the explosions, he said disdainfully: "Same old thing!" The tone was extremely relaxed.

    Liu Hongzhang was indeed very relaxed. Just a few minutes ago, he received the enemy situation report from the division headquarters and knew that Le Yiqin's aviation force had already eliminated the Soviet bomber group that posed the greatest threat to his position, and had also defeated the Soviet fighter group.  I was pissed off and returned to the ship in embarrassment. I felt so relieved!

    Now, Liu Hongzhang was in a good mood to deal with the Soviet infantry attack. As he watched, he suddenly burst into laughter.

    Ouyang Yishan beside him asked strangely: "Brother, what are you happy about?"

    Liu Hongzhang was overjoyed and handed the telescope to Ouyang Yishan and said: "Look, what kind of formation is Lao Maozi's tank in? It's not enough to be beaten!"

    After reading it, Ouyang Yishan was also happy and said: "Brother, let's fight the same way? Knock out the Soviet tanks first, then hit the second echelon with mortars, and then move closer to hit the first echelon!"

    Liu Hongzhang widened his eyes exaggeratedly and replied: "This is the only way to fight. The old man can't come up with any new tricks, so we will just follow the prescription. There is an example from yesterday. Each group knows how to fight, so there is no need for us two."  Worry!¡±

    After forty minutes of shelling, the Soviet artillery fire began to extend, "rumbling" deep into the Independent Division position, and the first wave of offensive troops began to cross the river.

    On both sides of the Selenge River, the flames of war spread again. The result of the battle was as expected. The Soviet army's first attack was quickly repelled. An hour later, the Soviet army launched a second attack.  The attack, this time, retreated faster.

    By about four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Hongzhang and Ouyang Yishan, commanding the 1st and 2nd brigades of the directly affiliated corps, repelled five Soviet attacks. Finally, the Soviet army lost their temper and had to stop.

    As the Soviet troops withdrew from the beach on the north bank, the battlefield became quiet. The strong north wind blew the billowing black smoke of the Soviet tanks to the south bank, leaving a burning smell everywhere on the position, which made people choke.  Liu Hongzhang kept scolding his mother.

    The setting sun gathered its last rays, and darkness enveloped the northern part of the Outer Mongolia grassland. According to the order of the division headquarters, starting at 8 o'clock in the evening, the independent division troops on the front line on the south bank of the Selenge River began to evacuate in a planned manner.  Two hours ago, the Outer Mongolia Border Guard troops on the front line of Luanshi Mountain had withdrawn from their positions in advance.

    At ten o'clock in the evening, under the protection of the guard troops, Liu Hongzhang and Ouyang Yishan walked out of the shelter where they had stayed for two days and two nights. Taking a breath of the cool evening breeze, Liu Hongzhang turned back again and looked at the dimly lit Su River on the other side.  In the military camp, a mocking sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

      Said to the brigade chief of staff Liu Chenglin: "Chenglin, tell the division commander that our troops on the first and second lines of the Selenge River have safely evacuated. The headquarters finally withdrew at ten o'clock. The troops have turned towards Bayan Ula.  ¡±
