    "It's expected! The Soviet army couldn't stand it and had to withdraw. Otherwise, they would have to fight the tanks with their flesh and blood. The Soviets are not that stupid!" Tang Qiuli said lightly after receiving the report.

    With three tank brigades and more than a thousand tanks, they attacked the temporary Soviet field fortifications. Moreover, without the threat of artillery fire, if the battle turned into a tepid battle and was blocked by the Soviet infantry, Battelle would be in the European battlefield.  Go on, several years of fighting have been wasted.

    However, Zhao Yuhe's next report made Tang Qiuli nervous, "Division commander, Cullen's ground air command report, the fighter group commanded by Commander Le is in a fierce battle with the Soviet aircraft group. There are about 460  More than two bombers and a Soviet fleet of more than 200 fighter jets are rapidly approaching the battlefield! They will attack our ground forces in about twenty minutes!"

    Tang Qiuli's fists clenched. The infantry of the assault groups on the left and right wings were already engaging the Soviet troops at close range. The distance between the two positions was less than two kilometers. The Soviet bombers did not dare to drop bombs, so there was no need to worry.  , not to mention, there are thousands of anti-aircraft firepower groups composed of light and heavy machine guns and anti-tank guns, and the Soviet bomber group does not dare to dive bomb.

    However, Battelle's tank group was attacking on a frontal line that was dozens of kilometers wide and had not yet attacked the Soviet second line of position. The tanks exposed in the wilderness were the best targets for bombers. The Soviet air formation command  The officer must have seen this, didn't take it into consideration, and would attack desperately!

    It would be great if there were Le Yiqin's fighter group, even if it was two groups, he wouldn't have to worry so much, but Tang Qiuli knew that Le Yiqin's fighter group was there.  He was fighting in a bloody battle and couldn't escape. If possible, with Le Yiqin's temper, he would never let go of a Soviet plane!

    Tang Qiuli unclenched his fist, narrowed his eyes, and said in a calm tone: "Order, direct-affiliated Corps air defense brigade, Cullen air defense brigade, Saiyinshanda anti-aircraft artillery regiment, attack the Soviet bomber group, and be sure to protect the air safety of the armored group. Order.  , Battle speeds up the assault and drives the Soviet army to the north! "

    The battle began, and in just over twenty minutes, General Kurekin experienced both great joy and great sorrow.  He learned that the headquarters had sent more than 2,000 combat aircraft to cover his troops' breakout.  Avoid the fate of annihilation.  It can be seen that the troops of the Transcaucasus Military Region occupy a very important position in the mind of Comrade Stalin, otherwise, such a large investment would not be made.  This is a joy.

    He was surprised by the sudden appearance of more than a thousand independent division tanks. The battle lasted for two or three days, and was fought between infantry and artillery.  Why do so many tanks appear?

    General Kulykin knew that the so-called fortifications built by his troops were nothing more than temporary trenches. They could block the firing of infantry weapons, but they could not block the bombardment of artillery shells, let alone the assault of tanks. "That insidious and cunning Chinese  How many cards do you still have that you haven¡¯t revealed yet?" He lamented in his heart.

    Tang Qiuli's endless methods and irregular attack methods not only made General Kurekin tired of dealing with it, but also frightened him. When he learned that the fleet coming to rescue was intercepted by the independent division aviation in the airspace outside the battlefield,  Ling was shocked, thinking that the previous scene was happening again. When he saw his fleet flying over the battlefield, he was overjoyed.

    An order was immediately issued, and the troops immediately began to withdraw northward. In fact, on the current ground battlefield, General Kulykin's order was somewhat redundant. For the frontal attack troops, Battelle's three tank brigades were in the lead, and three brigades of infantry from the directly affiliated corps were accompanying the attack.  The Soviet troops had been suppressed and retreated step by step. The troops at the front were defeated, and the troops behind them were unable to stand firm. The entire Transcaucasus Military District's hundreds of thousands of troops began a disorderly retreat.

    Lieutenant General Jonasov, who commanded all air forces on the battlefield in Outer Mongolia, led a mixed fleet of bombers and fighter jets and flew over the battlefield. He saw the key to the problem at a glance. On the ground, more than a thousand vehicles from the independent division attacked at high speed.  The advancing tanks raised dust and blocked the sky. This was the biggest threat to Kulykin's troops. The two legs of the infantry could not outrun the tracks of the tanks.

    Let the armored group of the independent division continue to pursue. By the time they reached the south bank of the Selenge River, there were not many troops left in the Transcaucasus Military Region. "The bomber formation was ordered to immediately begin bombing the armored group of the independent division, and the fighter formation was struck."  Ground fire points of the Independent Division troops! At the same time, pay attention to attacking the Independent Division infantry," Lieutenant General Jonasov ordered.

    Lieutenant General Jonasov was not too concerned about the bomber formation attacking the tank column of the independent division. This was a battle with basically no suspense. Bombers were the nemesis of tanks. Heavy aerial bombs could defeat infantry weapons.  Poor tanks can easily explode into pieces and turn into piles of scrap metal.

    Soviet bomber formation? formed several echelons and began to enter the bombing channel one by one. At this moment, sparks suddenly burst out on the ground, clouds of blue smoke, and countless anti-aircraft shells roared straight into the sky, forming an airtight line in the sky.  of fire net.

    After receiving the order from the division commander, the air defense troops had been holding back and waiting in full formation. The fighting was lively in the front, with the sound of guns and tanks and the roar of tank motors. The anti-aircraft artillery soldiers felt itchy in their hearts and widened their eyes.  Staring at the blue sky, I wished that the Soviet combat planes would appear soon.

    The mixed Soviet aircraft group finally appeared in the field of vision. The anti-aircraft artillery group equipped with "Sky Eye" artillery sight radar had long been on the radar and locked on their respective targets. Following the order of the anti-aircraft artillery group commander, the anti-aircraft artillery group fired like a meteor.  The anti-aircraft shells accurately found their targets. The first group of Soviet bombers dived into the fire net. The incident happened so suddenly that they had no time to change their course.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The fixed-range anti-aircraft artillery shells exploded into black smoke balls, scattering thousands of whistling metal fragments into the sky and crashing into the fire net.  The Soviet bombers either exploded into pieces in the air, or were covered in smoke and fire. They whined and plunged to the ground. More than a hundred Soviet bombers disappeared into the sky.

    "Ground anti-aircraft fire!" Lieutenant General Jonasov exclaimed, "Attention all bomber formations, immediately climb to altitude, avoid ground anti-aircraft fire, escort the fighter group, and immediately destroy the independent division's anti-aircraft firepower!" He issued the order.

    The Soviet fighter groups, relying on their speed and flexibility, swooped towards the anti-aircraft artillery positions of the Independent Division's air defense units. However, they did not want to please. The anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy machine guns sprayed out strings of hot metal jets, hitting them with thousands of  Tens of thousands of bullets formed a dense low-altitude firepower network, forcing the Soviet fighter jets to dare not enter the diving and strafing position, and quickly climbed up desperately to avoid the deadly bullets that were as dense as locusts.

    Not only that, those Soviet fighter pilots whose hands and feet were not very agile, whose reactions were slow, or who were eager to make meritorious service, saw a series of bullets coming towards them. They had no time to avoid, and the fighter jets were smashed into sieves by the rain of bullets.  During the fight, dozens of Soviet fighter jets were licked into the air defense force's fire net!

    In the first round, the Soviet bomber group failed to throw a single bomb into Battelle's armored cluster. The Soviet bomber group's routine evasive actions failed to escape the tracking of the "Sky Eye" artillery sighting radar, and each anti-aircraft gun  The bombs, as if they had eyes, chased the Soviet bombers, and a burst of bomber wreckage exploded in the sky. At the same time, they sent Soviet fighter jets flying all over the sky, let alone strafing.  A hit from a crazy anti-aircraft shell is considered lucky!

    "The bombing cannot be carried out!" This is the conclusion that Lieutenant General Jonasov painfully came to. It is not that he has never seen ground anti-aircraft artillery. As the deputy commander of the Air Force of the Don River Military Region, he does not know how many air-ground confrontation exercises will be carried out every year.  Secondly, the relationship between ground anti-aircraft firepower and aircraft is that of spear and shield. In most cases, spears are sharper.

    But what happened today?  The intensity of the independent division's anti-aircraft fire is within the range here, but its accuracy is so shocking that even flexible fighter jets can directly hit it. If the fire continues, the armor of the independent division may be blown up.  For one tank in the army, he would have to use several combat aircraft to replace it!

    This is a losing deal and cannot be fought anymore. Fortunately, Kulykin¡¯s troops have already begun to retreat. Even if their mission is completed, "Attention mixed formations, stop bombing immediately, bomber formations return, and fighter groups join the air battle battlefield."  !¡±

    "Division Commander, the Soviet mixed fleet was beaten away by our air defense forces!" Deputy Chief of Staff Wang Jun shouted excitedly.

    All the officers in the division headquarters breathed a long sigh of relief. The threat from the air was eliminated. The battle on the ground must be fought according to the division commander's intention. The rhythm of the battlefield is controlled by the division commander.

    Tang Qiuli was a little nervous, relaxed, and said: "Chief of Staff Wang, order the troops to attack the group from the front, hold on to the Soviet army, attack the group from two wings, and start flanking, making every step of the Soviet army  , leaving hundreds of corpses behind! Try to consume as much of the Soviet army¡¯s vitality as possible during their retreat!¡±

    This style of play is exactly the same as Liu Tiehan's method of chasing the retreating Soviet Far East Front troops in the East Command. He was constantly bleeding, from the battlefields of Hagengaol and Baiyinchagan to the south bank of the Selenge River, covering hundreds of kilometers.  Along the way, no one could tell how many troops the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region troops, who were eager to retreat, would have to fill in under the continuous attacks from the directly affiliated corps. What's more, there were also Yang Ketian's three mechanized brigades, a cavalry brigade, and a tank brigade.  The troops are waiting for them!

    The battle on the ground was proceeding according to Tang Qiuli's plan, and everything was going smoothly, but his heart was worried about the other battlefield, which was what he was most worried about.??Place!
