    Tang Qiuli raised the telescope in confusion and looked at the sky where the sound came from. Through the smoke of war, a group of small black dots appeared in the telescope in the distant sky. "Soviet planes!" he said instantly.  judge.

    "Yu He, order the first and second air defense brigades to immediately set up a tight air defense fire net over the battlefield to ensure that the attacking troops are not disturbed! Get all personnel to evacuate the tents immediately! Take cover immediately!" Tang Qiuli  He pushed away the few special guards who came to cover him and said loudly to Zhao Yuhe.

    Shanhu rushed over in a few steps, and together with several special guards, they held him up and ran behind a cliff. Tang Qiuli struggled and shouted: "Huzi, you are confused, hurry up and help the people in the tent evacuate.  Do I need so many people to protect me?¡±

    Shan Hu didn't say a word, just pulled him and ran. He had just found a hiding place. Ten minutes later, the Soviet fleet flew overhead. In the woods on the hill, several tents were standing in the bright sunshine.  Below, very eye-catching, two Soviet fighter jets broke away from the formation and swooped down from high altitude.

    ¡°Da da da¡ª!¡± Several tongues of flames fell from the sky and tore the tent into pieces. The Soviet fighter jets roared away, almost flying past the tall treetops. The huge air waves rolled up the fragments of the tent.  It rose into the sky and was blown away by the north wind.

    Tang Qiuli patted the soil and broken branches and leaves on his body, got up from the ground, and his face became gloomy. There were at least 300 Soviet combat aircraft, which would definitely cause great interference to the troops' final attack. The most important thing was  It would boost the morale of the Soviet soldiers in the encirclement, and the impact it would have would undermine the plan to completely annihilate the 43rd Soviet Army.

    Tang Qiuli looked at the mountain tiger beside him and asked, "Huzi, are there any casualties among the division commanders?"

    Shan Hu looked at the sky vigilantly and replied in a deep voice: "I don't know yet. I guess it's okay. Chief of Staff Zhao organized the evacuation. If it weren't for your safety, the heavy machine gun in my hand would definitely be able to  Beat them up! Wow!" Shan Hu pulled the gun bolt hard, and a bullet as thick as a thumb bounced to the ground, "Huh, you're giving them an advantage!"

    Tang Qiuli said nothing.  Seeing the dispersed and hidden headquarters personnel coming out from various places, not in a panic, I immediately felt relieved that they had evaded them in time.  There should be no casualties, thanks to Chen Feng's communications department.  In the hiding place behind the cliff.  Otherwise, communication equipment will suffer.

    Zhao Yuhe came over in a hurry and said without waiting for Tang Qiuli to ask: "Commander, there are no casualties, but the tent can no longer be used. The Soviet plane has appeared, and it is no longer safe here. Captain Huang, please arrange the transfer of the division commander immediately!"  He gave Shanhu urgent instructions again.

    At this time.  The sky above the battlefield is already filled with the black smoke that explodes when anti-aircraft shells explode. You can see it without a telescope. The Soviet aircraft continue to dive bomb and make low roars, which intensifies the tension on the battlefield.  In the atmosphere, from time to time, a Soviet aircraft exploded into a ball of fire, or dragged a long tail of thick smoke and plunged to the ground. Before the final blow against the Soviet army had begun, the ground-to-air battle began first.  .

    Tang Qiuli frowned, "Yu He, order Zheng Yong's artillery to start shelling immediately, and order the air defense troops to buy at least an hour for the ground troops!" He said sharply.

    The sudden appearance of Soviet combat aircraft disrupted the original attack plan. However, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired. If we gave up at this time, not only would our success be in vain, but the troops would also be attacked by Soviet aircraft during the evacuation process.  A large number of casualties. Fortunately, there were only more than 300 aircraft. If Chutian did not give the Soviet army a field airfield and destroy it with devastating damage, his own battle would not be easy to fight!

    The appearance of Soviet fighter jets and bombers greatly encouraged the Soviet soldiers on the ground, and also brought a lot of trouble to Zheng Yong's artillery unit. Although two air defense brigades, hundreds of anti-aircraft guns, supported a  The dense air defense fire network, however, could not completely block the attack of Soviet aircraft. From time to time, heavy aviation bombs fell on the artillery positions, exploding into clouds of mud and fire, and the artillery troops suffered casualties.

    Lieutenant General Bamiyanov in the encirclement, his face pale with excitement, a sickly flush appeared, grabbed the ground-to-air communication device, and said with a trembling voice: "I am Commander Bamiyanov, representing the Fourth Army."  To all the soldiers and officers of the 13th Group Army, thank you very much to the comrades of the Air Force!¡±

    Lieutenant General Bamiyanov¡¯s gratitude was absolutely sincere, so sincere that there was no impurity at all, but the Soviet air commander who commanded the formation felt uncomfortable in his heart.

    Just because he could only dispatch more than 300 fighter jets and bombers, he was almost scolded to death by General Vasilevsky. But Comrade General, who knew the sufferings of the Air Force? Not to mention other things, these planes were still more than a dozen  The airport was pieced together, and there was insufficient fuel and it was flooded.The roads destroyed by flooding have not yet been repaired, and oil and supplies cannot be transported.

    The ground support department worked hard to collect all the fuel, and then barely replenished each combat aircraft with only about one-third of the usual fuel. It could last for half an hour above the battlefield, even if  That's right, no matter what the ground is like, the formation must return, otherwise, it will fall halfway. If it weren't for these incompetent army, why would I take this risk with more than 300 aircraft?

    Feeling angry, I had to say a few polite words on the surface, "Comrade Commander, this is what our Air Force should do. They are all Red Army troops under the leadership of Comrade Stalin. However, there is a situation that I must report to you, because  The logistics supply line has never been restored, and the fuel for our combat aircraft is only enough to stay above the battlefield for less than thirty minutes!" the Soviet air formation commander said calmly.

    Lieutenant General Bamiyanov, why don't you worry about this? Let alone thirty minutes, even three minutes are precious to me who is on the verge of despair. What I am interested in is not the mere three hundred aircraft of the Air Force.  Being able to repel the independent division troops and relieve oneself from the encirclement, but to boost the morale of the troops in the encirclement, is what one needs most. With this morale, he will be more confident until the reinforcements arrive!

    Braving strafing and bombing by Soviet aircraft, Zheng Yong's artillery unit fired thousands of artillery pieces and began a fierce bombardment towards the 43rd Army's last position. Countless shells flew across the sky with screams.  , hit the Soviet position like hail, blasting an area with a radius of less than fifty kilometers into fireworks and gunpowder smoke, shrapnel flying, and shrouded in a bloody wind.

    ¡°Boom! Boom! Boom¡ª¡ª!¡± The earth trembled, clusters of soil flowers turned up, and a huge roar echoed in the air.

    "Report to the division commander, the artillery will launch an artillery bombardment on the central position held by the Soviet army on time! The armored troops and infantry are ready to launch an attack at any time," Zhao Yuhe put down the phone and said to Tang Qiuli.

    Tang Qiuli did not speak, his brows were furrowed, and the expression on his face was solemn and serious. For some reason, a feeling of uneasiness suddenly passed through his mind. The Soviet army sent more than 300 combat aircraft. Of course, they did not want to rescue the siege.  , in fact, it is impossible to do it, and this is the maximum air power that Vasilevsky can currently mobilize. Otherwise, if there are hundreds more planes, I am afraid that he will have to retreat immediately.

    "Division Commander, the Soviet plane has returned! The bombardment has been going on for twenty-five minutes. Do you want to order the tanks and infantry to prepare for the final attack?" Zhao Yuhe put down the phone and turned around and said, interrupting Tang Qiuli's thoughts.

    Tang Qiuli stared in the direction of the smoke-filled battlefield and did not respond to Zhao Yuhe's words, "Commander! Commander!" Zhao Yuhe shouted again, "The troops are still waiting for your order!"

    Tang Qiuli was about to nod, but the uneasy feeling became stronger. Vasilevsky knew that more than 300 combat aircraft could not rescue the 43rd Soviet Army, so why did he do it?  Send out?  Is it just to buy some time for the surrounded Soviet troops?

    It can't be that simple, "Division Commander, after receiving an urgent telegram from the reconnaissance unit, the Soviet mechanized troops were divided into four groups and are rushing to the Balekcha battlefield at full speed. They are expected to arrive in one and a half hours. According to the scout's observations,  According to statistics, the strength of the Fourth Route Soviet Army is about 60,000," Chen Feng, director of the Communications Department, hurried over and reported breathlessly.

    By the way, Tang Qiuli was shocked. In his mind, all the doubts were suddenly put together. It suddenly became clear why the Soviet army, which was eager to break out, suddenly stood still and waited for reinforcements. Why did the Soviet army send planes to decoy the Soviet army?  The remaining troops of the 43rd Group Army were just a bait to lure him to swallow. While he was digesting it, the Soviet reinforcements arrived quickly. Although there were only 60,000 people, once they were entangled, there would be a lot of people following behind.  The main force of the Soviet army is more than one million.

    Even though he was just short of the final blow, he still underestimated Vasilevsky's commanding ability and the Soviet army's rapid maneuverability, and the attack would arrive more than a day earlier than he expected.

    "Yuhe, immediately convey my order to the troops. The artillery immediately stopped shelling, quickly evacuated the position, and moved to the direction of Coulomb. After the artillery withdrew, the tanks and infantry immediately left the battlefield and moved to the direction of Coulomb. Hurry, the Soviet reinforcements  We'll be there soon!" Tang Qiuli said urgently, "Tell the brigade commanders not to hesitate, let alone fight, and order Ouyang Yishan's second brigade and Chu Ziye's fourth brigade to come with Soviet reinforcements.  direction to block."

    Zhao Yuhe's expression changed and he said: "Commander, the last blow is just around the corner. It only takes thirty minutes for us to kill the Soviet army in the encirclement. Can we send six brigades to block the attack?"  A brigade of troops encircled and annihilatedWhat a pity that the surrounding Soviet troops gave up!  "
