Age of Rebirth

Seeing that the other army commanders had left, General Kurykin, the commander of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military District, the commander of the Battle Command for the Recapture of Outer Mongolia, and the political commissar, gave a few instructions to the chief of staff in a low voice, and then, very kindly, sent a few words to the air force. A division commander said: "Comrades in the Air Force, please sit down!"

This was a small-scale meeting, and the venue of the meeting was also moved to the temporary office of General Kurykin. At the same time, there were two heavily armed lieutenant officers standing guard at the door of the office. Obviously, the content of the meeting was top secret. .

A major lieutenant poured a cup of fragrant coffee for several people, then withdrew and closed the door tightly.

General Kurykin pondered for a while, and said solemnly: "Comrades of the Air Force, I leave you alone because I want to talk about the mission of the Air Force. You know, my time is very tight, and I will go to the front line to command soon. Troops fight, let's keep it simple."

"The task of the air force this time is very difficult. According to the information obtained by the intelligence department of the military region, the Northern Flying Group of the Independent Division has dispatched a large number of combat aircraft to Outer Mongolia in the past few days. The exact number is unknown. The Northern Flying Group , The strength is very strong, and it has been in the Manchuria region of China, and has been responsible for combat missions with the Japanese Kwantung Army Air Force, and comrades in the air force of our military region are no strangers to it.”[

Several division commanders of the Transcaucasus Military Region Air Force nodded, which was regarded as acknowledgment of the words of Comrade Commander. General Kurykin continued: "Your task is to send bombers at dawn tomorrow, when visibility permits, to violently bomb the 』The squadron's position on the south bank of the Lengge River, including the squadron's logistics supply line to the Kulun line, and Tang Qiuli's air force will obviously make a desperate counterattack. Therefore, I hope comrades are mentally prepared. A big fight, a bad fight!"

"There is an even more important secret mission, that is, while you are fighting against Tang Qiuli's Northern Flying Group fleet. You must preserve considerable strength, and the battle loss rate should not be too high. The specific content of the secret mission is that in September At 22:[-] on the night of the [-]nd, a large number of bombers and fighter jets were dispatched to bomb Kulun. This is a task that must be completed."

"Because I have just received an order from the General Staff, and Comrade Stalin personally negotiated that the comrades of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party will be at midnight on September 22. In order to cooperate with our Soviet Red Army and liberate the entire territory of Outer Mongolia, a The armed riots in the entire Outer Mongolia area, our bombing, is to create "chaos" in Kulun. Cover their riots!"

The commanders of several Soviet Air Force divisions did not make a sound. The commanders of the two fighter divisions transferred from other military regions, because they were not stationed in the border area, had never heard of the aviation of the independent division, and the great reputation of the Northern Flying Group. I don't know, in the Liaodong Bay air battle that ended not long ago, the Japanese Kwantung Army's Third Air Force was defeated.The record of almost annihilation of the entire army does not have much psychological burden. It was supposed to be accepted in one go, but the war is coming!

However, several colleagues from the Air Force of the Transcaucasus Military Region had solemn expressions on their faces.Keep their words in your stomach, and observe their words and expressions, and you will know that this is not an easy job.Otherwise, several sitting tigers will go together.His face won't be as ugly as a dead fish.

The commanders of several fighter divisions and bomber divisions of the Air Force of the Transcaucasus Military Region of the Soviet Union know the Northern Flying Group of the Air Force of this independent division very well. During the First Outer Mongolian War, I was in the Air Force of the former Far East Military Region of the Soviet Union and served as a flying regiment. As the head of the regiment or the captain, he also participated in several large-scale air battles in person, and the several tragic fights in the sky over Outer Mongolia left him with an indelible memory.

The flying skills, combat will, and tactical level of the pilots of the Chinese Independent Division are a terrible memory for me, especially the Kulun air battle, which was the beginning of the wing breaking of the Far Eastern Military Region Air Force. The result of the war ended in the disastrous defeat of the Soviet Union , Because of this failure that made Stalin furious, the Far Eastern Military Region was revoked, disappeared from the ranks of the Soviet Strategic Military Region, and was assigned to the Transcaucasus Military Region.

Liu Cuigang, the commander of the Northern Flying Group of the Independent Division Aviation Corps, is no stranger to them. Although they have not fought against the pilots of the Independent Division in a few years, their record with the Kwantung Army Air Force has been widely circulated in the Far East. These division commanders also once commanded their troops, participated in Zhukov's Far East Front Army, fought against the Japanese Kwantung Army, and had personal experience with the quality and fighting style of Japanese pilots.

In all fairness, they were a group of fierce, bloodthirsty, fearless opponents, and Liu Cuigang's command could defeat such opponents repeatedly. be terrified.

Seeing the commanders of several fighter and bomber divisions who were silent, with embarrassing expressions on their faces, General Kurykin became unhappy, his face darkened, his tone was stressed, and he asked: "Why? Comrades in the air force, I feel embarrassed about my mission and remind comrades to pay attention, this is an order personally negotiated by Comrade Stalin, and the consequences must be considered!"

A commander of a fighter division stood up and said, "Comrade commander, it's not that we are in a state of embarrassment. We bombed the positions of the independent division troops on the line of the Selenge River. We promise to complete the mission. The key is that this secret mission involves the Constrained by multiple factors, firstly, our pilots have no experience in nighttime air strikes, and secondly, how to escape the interception of the independent division's aviation force and reach the target sky safely after the long-distance attack on Kulun is a problem to be solved."

General Kurykin didn't know much about the air force's tactics and the aircraft's "performance". Failure to complete the task assigned by Comrade Stalin personally delayed the plan to regain Outer Mongolia. Talking about these division commanders, even if I am the commander of the military region, I will never have a good life. As for the end, each has its own possibility. .

Therefore, General Kurykin's face sank, and he said without a doubt: "I understand your actual difficulties, but no matter what difficulties there are, the task of attacking Kulun at night must be completed. The specific measures and plans, your Air Force I want to do my own research, what I want is to hear the explosion in the city of Kulun at midnight on September 22, well, the meeting is over here, and I have to rush to the front line immediately!"

After finishing speaking, General Kurykin didn't give them a chance to explain, and got up without looking back; he left the office, leaving a few air force division commanders behind, looking at each other with wry smiles on their faces, and the two officers transferred from other military regions The commander of a fighter division hurriedly asked his colleagues why Liu Cuigang, the commander of the Northern Flying Group of the independent division, could

The night became darker, and the strong wind blew across the open grassland, bringing a biting chill, the gradually withered pasture swayed in the wind, and in the sky, a layer of lead cloud enveloped the stars, making the earth heal Suddenly immersed in the darkness, such a night, the visibility is extremely low.

On the north bank of the "Se" Lengge River, on a low hillock, under a few bushes, the Third Infantry Brigade of the Outer Mongolia Frontier Army of the Independent Division, a reconnaissance battalion with more than 20 soldiers in a company and two rows, was lurking Here, the chilly night wind blows through the soldiers who have not yet put on their winter clothes, making people feel cool from the inside out. In all fairness, lurking in the wild on a late autumn night in Outer Mongolia is really not a good job.

Lieutenant Si Rigu Leng, the platoon leader, tightened his belt, stood up, held up his binoculars, and looked towards the dark north. In the lens, besides the night around him, there was also the night around him. , two rows in a row, have been active for four or five days on the north bank of the Selenge River. The latest time, they have touched a place less than [-] kilometers away from the city of Irkutsk. It wasn't because of the orders from the headquarters that the platoon leader, Second Lieutenant Si Rigu Leng, might have brought his brethren into the city and brought them back by grabbing a tongue.

For these scouts, sleeping in the wild is commonplace, but the night on the grasslands of Outer Mongolia in late September was indeed difficult. Putting down the binoculars, nothing was found, rubbing their sore eyes, Siri Gu Leng ordered in a low voice: "The first shift is on duty, pay attention to observe the movement, the second and third shifts take time to rest, tomorrow we will continue to expand the scope of reconnaissance!"

Communication soldier Liu Suozhu, carrying a radio on his back, followed behind the platoon leader, and couldn't help muttering: "Platoon leader, we have been scouting this area for four or five days, and we haven't even seen a single old man. This afternoon, the company commander sent a telegram to inquire. Why don't we platoon go north, and if we're lucky, we might be able to catch a tongue and figure out what's going on. Tell me, platoon leader, what is my solution? Sample"[

Si Zhigu coldly patted Liu Suozhu's helmet lightly, and cursed in a low voice: "As long as you have a lot of tricks, the command of the headquarters is justified. Hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops are gathered in the Baikal area. If we The situation is unknown, so I rashly "touched" it, what if I bump into the pile of the Soviet army, there are only twenty or so of us, and the Soviet army has not made dumplings. When the time comes, it will be too late to run, Alright pillar, put down the radio and go to sleep too!"

Liu Suozhu muttered, took off the radio station on his body, and gently placed it in a place with dense pastures, fumbled to check the canvas bag containing the radio station, then put the helmet on his face, and held the submachine gun in his arms After a while, there was a sweet breathing sound.

Si Rigu smiled slightly, took out a grass-green military blanket from his backpack, covered Liu Suozhu's body, found a nearby short tree to lean against, stretched his legs comfortably, and silently thought mind.

After a while, the sleepiness came up, the eyelids were dry, and they kept fighting. In the haze, Sizhigu Leng fell into a light sleep state. His right hand was still tightly holding the submachine gun, and his right hand was close to the holster.

Just two kilometers away from the lurking spot of the second row, in the dark night, more than 30 black figures suddenly appeared from a small forest.
