Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the eastern part of Outer Mongolia, the battle to pursue the Soviet Far East Front troops is in full swing. In the north, the Hagengaol and Baiyinchagan battlefields encircling the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region troops are unbearably calm. The besieged Soviet troops have not made any breakout moves. Others  The Soviet troops in the direction had no intention of rescue, which was not normal in itself.

    Therefore, the Soviet army should take action. Tang Qiuli was not surprised that the Soviet army dispatched a group of fighter jets, but he did not understand the anxiety of Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe. Ordinarily, Zhao Yuhe was the Chief of Staff in charge of the division.  In his position, as the Chief of Staff of the East Point, he has experienced countless major battles. What scene has he never seen before? Could the Soviet aircraft fleet alone make him lose his composure?

    Tang Qiuli couldn't help but joke, "Yu He, are you messing up? It's still a large fleet. How big is it? It can't be overwhelming and the battlefield space can't accommodate it, right?"

    Zhao Yuhe's face turned red and he said: "Commander, I didn't explain clearly how big the scale is. Let's put it this way, it should be the Soviet combat aircraft in the east. They all came to the battlefields of Hagengaol and Baiyinchagan."  , According to Commander Le¡¯s telegram, there are at least 1,500 fighter jets and over 600 bombers!¡±

    "What?" This time, even Tang Qiuli couldn't help but exclaimed. The Soviet army actually dispatched more than two thousand combat aircraft. Such a large scene was shocking enough. They were all devoted to the battlefield.  Tens of thousands of troops are not enough to explode!

    Tang Qiuli calmed down from the momentary shock and asked: "Yuhe, what are Le Yiqin's plans and how to deal with it?"

    Zhao Yuhe replied succinctly: "According to the order of the division commander, all fighter jets of the aviation force were dispatched to block the Soviet fleet from the battlefield airspace. Commander Le also said that this was an air battle with a decisive nature. The aviation force of the Northern and Southern Air Forces  The Southern Flying Group will join forces to seize air supremacy at any cost! Otherwise, it will not be able to deter the Soviet Air Force."

    After a pause, Zhao Yuhe added: "Commander Ting Le's meaning is a determination without hesitation. It can be seen that the Soviet aircraft fleet came out in full force, putting huge pressure on the aviation force. Commander Le had the idea of ????breaking the cauldron!"

    Tang Qiuli remained motionless.  Frowning his brows, Zhao Yuhe's words are not unreasonable. With Le Yiqin's character, he is a person who is not afraid of fighting big or bad battles.  He is also a master who is unwilling to suffer losses, and the Japanese Air Force.  British Air Force in India.  And in the first Outer Mongolia War, they fought against the Soviet Air Force, from Outer Mongolia to the Indochina Peninsula. In every battle, they sounded confident and confident of victory.

    This time, I can say something at any cost.  It can be seen that Le Yiqin has already foreseen that this air battle will be a fierce battle.  The aviation force has to fight a difficult air battle with the number of fighter jets at a disadvantage. Although air combat relies on the pilot's flying skills and courage, the number of fighter jets is also one of the determining factors. I am afraid Le Yiqin also knows that this battle  After that, the two flying groups of the aviation force will be exhausted!

    Tang Qiuli's frown suddenly relaxed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, send a telegram to Le Yiqin and tell him not to have any thoughts of burning the boat, and the aviation force will intercept three points."  Two or more Soviet fighter groups are enough, and the remaining fighters and all bombers will be left to the ground air defense forces. The focus of the aviation force is to ensure that Yang Ketian's troops are not attacked by the Soviet army. "

    "The Soviet combat aircraft in the east were dispatched in full force to cover the retreat of the troops in the Transcaucasus Military Region. The brigades directly under the corps were ordered to immediately launch a general attack on the Soviet army. The specific tactics were to use Battle's armored forces on the front.  As well as the three brigades directly under the corps, they increased their assault intensity and firepower, forcing the Soviet troops to retreat step by step. The attack groups on the left and right wings reduced their attack intensity on the Soviet troops and allowed the Soviet troops in the encirclement to move! "

    Zhao Yuhe was still digesting Tang Qiuli¡¯s words when Deputy Chief of Staff Wang Jun said: ¡°Commander, do you mean to let the Soviet army break through?¡±

    Tang Qiuli gritted his teeth and replied: "Yes, only by letting the Soviet army move and providing aerial fire cover can the Soviet Air Force not easily attack our army's fixed positions and cause fire damage. Deputy Commander Liu's wolf pack tactics are here.  The same applies. Don't worry, the Soviet army can't escape. At the same time, order Liu Chun's 1st Cavalry Brigade and Tong Batu's 2nd Cavalry Brigade to seize and destroy the Soviet field battles in Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude.  Mainly the airport.¡±

    "Take the fire under the cauldron and destroy the home base of the Soviet Air Force. With so many planes, let's see where he lands! His tone was sinister, and the last few words were squeezed out from between his teeth.

    On the morning of September 29, the first to engage in battle on the northern battlefield of Outer Mongolia was the Soviet Air Force and the independent division aviation. Le Yiqin dispatched all the fighter jets of the Southern and Northern Flying Groups.  Before the fleet arrives in the airspace of Hagengaol and Baiyinchagan battlefields, intercept!Although the division commander had ordered that the aviation force only needed to take over two-thirds of the Soviet aircraft fleet, Le Yiqin obviously did not want to add too much difficulty to the ground air defense forces. With the guidance of radar, the two major forces of the independent division aviation force  The flight group, with more than 1,100 fighter jets, climbed to a favorable altitude in advance. After engaging the Soviet aircraft group, they swooped down from high altitude. The first to hit were more than 600 Soviet bomber groups.

    A tragic air battle began. The sky was filled with fighter jets flying up and down, chasing and shooting at each other. They were like strange birds spitting steel and fire. They fought desperately in the blue sky, and the aircraft engines roared.  The roar filled every inch of space, "ta-ta-ta-ta!" The machine gun roared wildly, and the bullets flew in the air, tearing the air and scarring the sky!

    The movement of Le Yiqin's aircraft group was like a sharp machete, suddenly chopping down from high altitude. It not only chopped up the Soviet air formation, but also knocked out the Soviet bomber group from the escort formation of more than 1,500 fighter jets.  , separated, and within a few minutes of fighting, the independent division fighter group launched a fierce attack, leaving behind more than a hundred Soviet bombers and dozens of fighter jets.

    Seeing that the Soviet aerial formation was disrupted, Le Yiqin did not take advantage of the situation to hold on to the Soviet bomber group, and ordered: "Each regiment pay attention and cooperate with each other to form a local battlefield advantage and begin to attack the Soviet fighter group. Today's  Fight, regardless of casualties!¡±

    After the initial chaos, the Soviet air fleet commander, Lieutenant General Jonasov, deputy commander of the Don River Military District Air Force, saw the intention of the independent division aviation to slow down and delay the speed of his own fleet, and ordered the escorting fighter jets to  group, separated out the fighter jets that outnumbered the opponent, and left a sentence, "Regardless of casualties, inflict heavy damage to the independent division aviation!" Then, he commanded the remaining bombers and more than 200 fighter jets to continue flying over the theater.

    The air combat formation commanders of both sides issued almost the same orders, which were to kill the opponent at any cost. On the battlefield of Outer Mongolia, they fought several times and became jealous when they met. First, the Air Force of the Transcaucasus Military Region, then the Air Force of the Don River Military Region.  The air battles with the two flying groups in the north and south of the Independent Division were all in disarray. The Soviet fighter groups that came to support from other places were naturally unconvinced and took a desperate stance as soon as they came up.

    Of course, Lieutenant General Jonasov has not forgotten his mission, which is mainly to support the troops of the Transcaucasus Military Region to successfully break through and retreat north. If this mission is not completed, even if the fighter group of the Independent Division is severely damaged, his own  The aircraft fleet does not bring much advantage. The most likely outcome is that both sides will suffer losses. I am afraid that the headquarters will not be happy with such a result. Only fools do such a thankless task!

    When the air battle was in full swing, the independent division directly under the corps also began a general attack on the Soviet Transcaucasus Military District troops in the encirclement.

    The first to launch was Battelle's armored force. This time, Battelle no longer held back. Three tank brigades and more than a thousand tanks were divided into two assault groups. They formed a wedge formation in accordance with the basic principles of tank combat.  The armor roared and kicked up dust all over the sky. The dust was several feet high and dozens of kilometers wide, mixed with the metallic sound of the crawling tracks grinding against the ground.

    Like a high wall that moved as a whole, it was brand new and foggy, pressing towards the Soviet position from south to north. After several days of encirclement, Battelle's armored troops did not take action and hid on the outside of the encirclement.  On standby, neither General Kulykin, the commander of the Transcaucasus Military Region, nor the Soviet commanders on the front lines knew that there was such a torrent of steel in front of them!

    The assault of a group of tanks on infantry positions was terrifying. After several days of siege, the Soviet artillery had long been beaten to ashes by the artillery group directly under the corps. It was unable to use artillery shells to stop Battelle's armored troops, and no anti-tank weapons were prepared.  The Soviet army, faced with the crushing tank swarm, was unable to even parry, and the position was in a panic.

    In order to block these invulnerable steel fortresses and avoid being swarmed by independent division tanks and rush into the core area, the Soviet infantry on the front line had no choice but to fill in with their lives. Under the roar of the commander and the encouragement of the political commissar, the Soviet infantry was bundled into groups.  Grenade, lying in the temporary trench, looked at the tanks getting closer and closer with fear, feeling the ground shaking beneath him, and was ready to risk his life in exchange for the temporary stability of the position.

    Thanks to Battelle, from the Germans on the European battlefield, I learned the advanced tactics of infantry-tank cooperative operations, and conducted many combined drills among the troops. The infantry of the direct corps accompanying the tank attack fired with submachine guns in their hands.  Tongues of fire burned holes in the Soviet infantry who tried to attack the tanks.

    More than 20 minutes after the attack started, Tang Qiuli received a report from the frontal assault group, "The division commander said that our frontal assault group has broken through the first Soviet position and is on the way.Attack the remaining Soviet troops in depth and withdraw to the second line of defense!  "
