    "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the air force that attacked in the morning has returned one after another. We lost one SE5 fighter jet, and another SE5 and two D4 were injured by heavy machine guns fired from the air by the opponent. According to the report of Hawkeye 3, after  Aerial reconnaissance and assessment, the aviation team's air attack achieved relatively satisfactory results. It is estimated that the loss of the Soviet Egorov Ninth Army's troops and weapons will be at least about 30%, and the loss of food and ammunition will be even greater!  "

    "A SE5 was shot down? Did the pilot parachute? Was he killed or captured?" Wang Geng turned around and asked.  (_-< Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work >-)

    "It was shot down during a low-altitude dive and strafing. The pilot didn't have time to parachute, and the plane hit the machine gun position on the ground and exploded!" Tian Jun, director of the war room, said in a low tone.

    "The pilots who died must be awarded honorary titles, and the pensions for their families must be enough to arrange their lives! This is our first pilot to die in the west of the Ural Mountains!" Wang Geng sighed inwardly, war will always be a general  As a soldier, you must have the consciousness and spirit of sacrifice to sacrifice your life for your country.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, don't be too sad. When there is a war, there are casualties. Bullets from aircraft, artillery, and machine guns don't even have eyes. Both of His Highness Nogi's sons were killed in the Battle of Lushun back then. However, compared with what we gained in this air strike,  A huge victory, these losses are minimal!" Army General Taro Utsunomiya, deputy chief of staff of the coalition and commander of the Japanese Third Army, comforted his commander.

    "Tell the returning pilots to eat and rest as soon as possible. All the ground crew took the time to refuel and reload the participating aircraft. The injured aircraft was replaced with a spare aircraft. An hour and a half later, the air force attacked again!" Wang Geng quickly returned to normal.  , gave such an order!

    "Will the air force continue to attack? Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, will this make the pilots too tired?" Utsunomiya Taro blinked and asked with a slight hesitation.

    "The Ninth Group Army was hit hard by this. I judge that the opponent is likely to disperse and retreat to avoid the concentrated blow of our air raid, so we must seize the time to conduct another air raid before dark!" Wang Geng explained while thinking to himself, now is the time  The best time to hit a drowned dog. The opponent's air defense experience and fire counterattack will be fierce next time. It will not be easy to seize such a good opportunity again.  (_-< Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work >-)

    "The other party must not have thought that we could make a comeback in such a short time. I think this method is good! Of course, the pilots are a little tired, but they can fly there in an hour, bomb for half an hour, and come back in another hour, and they can go back to the base in time for dinner. I think the problem  Not bad! These guys have been holding back for so long these two days before they got the chance to fire, and they are having a great time!" Wu Peifu, deputy chief of staff of the coalition and commander of the Third Army of the Chinese Participating Army, said in agreement.

    "Will the attack fleet continue to fly over the head of the Rzhevsky cluster in Chernigovka this time?" Tian Jun, the combat director responsible for recording and transmitting orders, asked for instructions.

    Wang Geng pondered for a moment and asked, "Have the generals from the three divisions of the Soviet Fifth Army's Northern Route Army who were captured southeast of Chistopol been flown back to Ufa?"

    "The plane sent to pick up the prisoners just landed at Ufa Airport half an hour ago. The prisoners have now been transported. The leader is the Chief of Staff of the Fifth Army, Ehe, and there are two division commanders and a division political commissar. Does the commander-in-chief want to see them?  ?" Tian Jun said with a smile.

    "Meet them? No need for the time being, Deputy Chief of Staff Wu, go and appease them, and then send someone to send the Chief of Staff of the Fifth Army, Ehe, to Rzhevsky and tell them to put down their weapons and surrender. All coalition forces will be put down."  The lives and property of the Red Army soldiers must be kept safe, and they will not be forcibly deported back to the Bolshevik camp," Wang Geng said casually.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, do we really have to accept so many injuries from the Red Army? That is a big burden!" Utsunomiya Taro reminded him hurriedly when he saw Wu Peifu nodded and was about to leave.

    "Just do your best. Tukhachevsky will not bear these grievances for us again. We cannot let the 30,000 people like Rzhevsky starve to death in the encirclement or lose all the troops due to injuries."  Are they destroyed? There are more than 500 female medical soldiers there, and they may all be able to serve the coalition officers and soldiers in the future! Sir Utsunomiya, are you interested in selecting some blond and blue-eyed nurses?"

    Wang Geng laughed as he said this. Taro Utsunomiya was startled when he heard this and waved his hands hurriedly, "This No, no, no You have repeatedly stressed the discipline of the army I can  I don¡¯t have the guts to step on landmines!¡±

    Wang Geng secretly laughed in his heart, turned to Wu Peifu and told him, "Tell that Lezhevsky to stop having any illusions."?He should be responsible for the lives of the more than 30,000 Red Army soldiers in the encirclement, instead of only considering their doctrine and personal future. The destruction of the Southern Cluster is right in front of him. If he returns to the Red Army, he will be eliminated.  There is absolutely no second way out for the banner used by the scapegoat and the person primarily responsible to sacrifice the Bolsheviks!  "

    Wu Peifu nodded upon hearing this, Wang Geng waved his hand, and the deputy chief of staff of the coalition and Shunroku Hata quickly left the war room.

    Here, Utsunomiya Taro was a little uneasy because of the about 500 blond and blue-eyed female Russian medical soldiers who were about to appear. But looking at Wang Geng's hey smile, the guy gritted his teeth alertly and thought to himself, are you still afraid of women?  But everything must be hidden from the sight of this Chinese king, otherwise, the coalition military police who are only responsible for him may even dare to arrest him, a Japanese army general, and serve him under military law!

    "Report! A call came from Sun Liangcheng of the South Road Rangers. They have occupied Samara and Togliatti and annihilated a brigade left behind by Yegorov's Ninth Army of the Soviet Red Army's Southern Front. They have captured more than 4,000 people and are currently clearing out the people who fled to  The enemy in the nearby canal area, Sun Liangcheng asked for instructions whether to use the captured ships to cross the river and attack Zhiguryusk on the other side? "

    After hearing this, Wang Geng walked over and carefully looked at the one-fifty-thousandth combat map of the Samara region. He thought for a while. The Samara Reservoir Dam has not yet been built, and the Volga River has bypassed Togliatti.  It makes a big bend and then goes back and continues to flow and rush all the way south, and Togliatti is the largest ferry crossing from Syzran on the other side of the Volga River.

    "Call back and ask Sun Liangcheng's troops not to cross the Volga River. Just hold the two key points of Togliatti and Samara on the right bank. Send another armored regiment north along the right bank of the Volga River and capture the ferry opposite Simbirsk. Likewise,  There¡¯s no need to cross the river, just isolate traffic and ferries on both sides!¡±

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, since our aviation fleet has already exerted its tremendous power, why do we still go through all the trouble to make such a long detour? We will use air strikes to completely defeat the more than 200,000 Soviet Red Army troops on the right bank of the Volga River.  That¡¯s it!¡± Utsunomiya Taro asked in confusion.

    Wang Geng smiled and took out a cigar. Here, Utsunomiya Taro unconsciously took out a box of matches and lit the fire for the young commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. Wang Geng went over to light the cigarette and inhaled deeply.  He took a sip, looking intoxicated, and then explained to the Japanese commander,

    "No matter how powerful the air force is, it cannot go to the ground to bayonet or capture prisoners. Although the Soviet Red Army we are facing now has almost no air power, and the ground anti-aircraft weapons are far from enough, such good days are for us.  It is said that it is something that can only be met by chance. Sooner or later, the Soviet Red Army will grow up and know how to conduct air defense, concealment and counterattack!

    Moreover, in the future our enemy on the Eastern Front is likely not to be the Soviet Red Army, but the German and Austrian army and air force. If we do not seize the time now to beat and temper the coalition ground forces, we will face more than 1 million German and Austrian troops in the future.  what should we do?  In the future, if the German and Austrian air forces engage in combat on the Eastern Front, what will we do when we are at a disadvantage in the air?  Is there no more war?  "

    Wang Gengxiao himself can do light things but not light things, but often in the actual operation process he becomes light things and light things. No matter what, before the decisive battle with the German and Austrian main forces on the Eastern Front, the coalition forces must seize every opportunity to temper the team. This  This is Wang Geng¡¯s original intention.

    "Your Excellency Utsunomiya, don't forget that we will launch a second wave of air strikes today. I dare say that the Ninth Army will definitely learn from experience and lessons after suffering the attack in the morning. They may even be digging deep bunkers at this moment.  and air-raid shelters are possible! In the future, after the opponent has preparations and countermeasures for air raids by the coalition air force, it will become more and more difficult to achieve results, and the losses of the air force will also become greater and greater. In wars, the warring parties have always been  It is not advisable to use your strengths and avoid weaknesses to learn from war! It is not advisable to expect the other side to make stupid mistakes all the time.¡±

    Behind the cigar smoke rising in the room, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces sounded a little lonely and helpless.

    "Sogar In this case ¡ÜYour Excellency Commander, you also said that Yegorov's Ninth Army is likely to learn a lesson from every experience. Maybe the air defense trenches have been dug and can hide in them at any time. Maybe they will  The heavy machine guns have been reorganized and set up on high ground and rooftops in advance to intercept our aircraft bombing and strafing. Do we still need to launch a second air attack when they are waiting for a powerful enemy? "
