Age of Rebirth

"Liu Cuigang!" Sun Zhenbang was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic. It turned out that it was Liu Cuigang who personally went into battle and commanded the air battle. No wonder the fight was so lively, bombing the target?The biggest wexe to our own troops is the artillery of the Soviet army. It is not extravagant to expect to kill all the artillery of the Soviet army, but if we can kill half of them, the pressure on the frontline troops will be greatly reduced.

Sun Zhenbang shouted loudly: "Cuigang, I'm Sun Zhenbang, you came too timely, kill Lao Maozi's artillery for me, and send you the location of the Soviet artillery positions immediately!"

During the artillery battle in the morning, the position of the artillery positions of the Soviet Army was basically exposed. Sun Zhenbang made a phone call to the artillery brigade, and soon, various data were transmitted to the commander of the bomber formation.

Ten minutes later, the two bomber regiments of the Northern Flying Group, a formation composed of more than 120 bombers, flew over the Selenge River with a "rumble". Colonel Novsky, commanded by the fighter jets commanded by Liu Cuigang, has already been overwhelmed by the fighter jets commanded by Liu Cuigang. He watched helplessly as the independent division's bomber fleet lined up neatly and passed under the air combat battlefield like a human being. .

The fighter pilots of the Soviet army, let alone intercepted by their clones, were lucky to keep their fighters and not be shot down by the fighters of the independent division that were chasing after them. [

A few minutes later, on the north bank of the Selenge River, behind the Soviet army, patches of purple-red clouds began to rise, and dull explosions came one after another. Sun Zhenbang was so happy that he slapped his thigh straight and shouted repeatedly : "Good job! Get rid of the artillery of the Soviet army. Let's keep an eye on the south bank for five or six days. It's not a problem. Liu Cui just came and really solved a big problem for us!"

There was no harassment from Soviet fighter jets.The bomber fleet of the independent division bombed the Soviet artillery positions with ease. Although the ground air defense firepower of the Soviet army was several times that of the Japanese army, it could be evenly distributed and used for the artillery positions. Come down, moreover, a fighter regiment left by Meng Qingpeng.It is specially responsible for clearing the ground anti-aircraft artillery fire of the Soviet army, which brought great damage to the anti-aircraft firepower of the Soviet army.

Three and 10 minutes later, before Liu Cuigang issued the order for the fighter group to withdraw from the battlefield.The bomber formation has completed the bombing of the Soviet artillery positions.Returned smoothly.Although it was only three or ten minutes of bombing, it caused great damage to the Soviet artillery positions, and the bomber formation only paid the price of two bombers being shot down and five being damaged.More than 10 heavy aviation bombs were dropped, and the Soviet artillery positions were riddled with holes.

General Kurykin, after putting down the call to General Konev, his face was livid.The well-planned first attack not only failed to gain any advantage, but also took in two pilot divisions. Now, the artillery position has been bombed again. Could it be that Konev and his gang of air force are all rich and poor?Let the fighters and bombers of the independent division, after taking advantage of the sky, go to the ground to take advantage.

General Kurykin just didn't understand. Konev had four fighter divisions and more than [-] fighter jets in his hands. How could he let the fighters and bombers of the independent division be bombed like this?The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he ordered the staff around him: "Give me a call to the Air Force Command of the Military Region immediately!"

At this time, General Kurykin standing outside the tent saw that a bomber of the Independent Division swooped over from a distance, and two small black spots fell on the belly of the aircraft, and with a piercing scream, it flew towards the The direction he was in fell, and at this moment, General Kurykin, who had experienced many battles, felt that the god of death was so close to him!

The guards of several Comrade Commander rushed in front of him desperately, and threw him on the grass, "Boom! Boom!" The bomb exploded not far from the tent of General Kurygin's temporary headquarters, and two loud bangs There was a sound, and the diffuse smoke rose up, stirring up two thick soil pillars, the shock wave and air wave, like tearing a piece of paper yyng, flying the tent in the air, and then, it was cut into several pieces by the flying pieces Son.

The clods of mud fell on General Kurykin, whose head was covered with head and face, and his head was confused. When other staff officers came over and pulled him up from the ground, Comrade Commander had a few bright red blood stains on his body. Lieutenant General Zirenenko, the chief of staff of the military region who rushed to the news, had a "boom" in his head and secretly cried out in his heart, "It's broken, the commander is injured!"

When I got close, I asked carefully. It turned out that it was a false alarm. The blood on Comrade Commander's body was from the guards who covered him. Two guards were killed on the spot. "Cuckoo" came out, the other three guards were also seriously injured, and the corpses of several staff officers were lying in a mess at the original tent position. If there were no guards as human shields, these pieces would be destroyed. Inserted in the commander comrades who command more than [-] troops.

Lieutenant General Zirnenko was afraid for a while, the highest chief of the army was almost bombed and had to be reimbursed, so he couldn't stay in this place no matter what, so he hurriedly said: "Comrade commander, this place is too dangerous, we should move immediately." Get to safety!"

General Kurykin's face was livid, and he looked at the bomber fleet of the Independent Division that had already begun to return, and roared angrily: "Safe zone? In the sky, there are fighters and bombers of the Independent Division. Is there still a safe zone now? That Konev Really, connect me to him immediately!"

The location of the command headquarters is in a mess, with two huge pits still emitting lingering smoke, dead bodies lying on the ground, blood glaring, the phone is illegal to use, General Kurykin dictated, "Order, the air force of the military region will attack at all costs. Independent Division Fleet! Take back the air supremacy in the attack area!"

Now, General Kurykin, who was completely enraged, wished to shoot down all the planes of the Independent Division. A commander who commanded 10,000+ troops, his life was subjected to such a wexe, even if he chased all the way to Kulun, he had to be ruthless Lessons for the Chinese!

Soon, Admiral Konev's call back arrived, but General Kurykin was furious, "Comrade Commander, in view of the air combat situation, the [-]rd Bomber Division of the Air Force of the Don River Military Region was completely annihilated, and the [-]st Fighter Division of the Air Force of our Military Region was destroyed. In fact, the air battle is over, and it is meaningless to pursue the returning independent division fleet, so I have ordered the three fighter divisions that were reinforced to return to their respective airports!"

This is the answer of his subordinates, "Bastard!" General Kurykin cursed furiously, holding his breath in his heart, venting everywhere, the air battle is over, the sky has returned to calm, and the Chinese who have taken advantage of it are just swaggering like this All of this was caused by Konev's command ability. In General Kurygin's heart, General Konev has been listed as the target of elimination.

Looking at his watch, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. General Kurykin said to the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Zirenenko: "Order the troops and prepare immediately. After an hour, launch the second attack. It must be before dark." , Capture the position of the independent division defense force, a river, should not stop the footsteps of our Soviet Red Army!"

Chief of Staff Zirenenko said with a look of embarrassment: "Commander, I'm afraid it won't work. I just received a report from the artillery unit. During the bombing just now, the artillery unit's position was severely damaged and the loss was not small. Busy with rescuing the wounded and repairing the position, within an hour, there was no way to provide artillery support."

"Moreover, since the first attack was blocked and bombed by independent division bombers, plus one of our bomber divisions was completely annihilated, and one of our fighter divisions was devastated, the morale of the troops has dropped to the lowest point, not to mention It's getting late, and it's not a good time to attack, so, Comrade Commander, I suggest that our army stop attacking today and make a decision after researching a more appropriate method!"

General Kurykin knew that Lieutenant General Zirenenko's words were very reasonable. The troops suffered setbacks in their first attack and were bombarded indiscriminately by bombers from the Independent Division. Especially in an air battle, the soldiers all saw it. Morale is bound to suffer a serious blow. To put it bluntly, it is similar to a defeated rooster. How can such a soldier be pulled up to fight? His mind is too extreme. [

General Kurykin sighed and said: "Comrade Zirenenko, your reminder is very timely, well, the order is cancelled, the troops rest for one night, and an order is issued to the political commissars at all levels to go deep among the soldiers. , to do ideological work, the morale of the troops must be restored as soon as possible, and at eight o'clock in the evening, a meeting of commanders above the regiment level will be held. I am a little tired, and you will be responsible for the orders and meetings!"

General Kurykin left with a few guards. Looking at his desolate back, Chief of Staff Zirenenko suddenly had a bad feeling. The ambitious commander commanded four mechanized infantry divisions, four One tank brigade, four artillery divisions, and two armored brigades went south in a big way. They originally had the determination to capture Kulun and regain Outer Mongolia.

However, the battle situation was unpredictable, and the first battle suffered a serious setback. The loss of the troops was not large, but the blow to the commander's confidence was huge. Tang Qiuli's military commander in Outer Mongolia was a difficult opponent. What would happen if any Chinese came to the battlefield in Outer Mongolia and commanded an independent division to fight?

What is the outcome of a famous Red Army general like Zhukov? Could it be that the Transcaucasus Military Region and Commander Kurykin will repeat the mistakes of the first Outer Mongolia War? Be optimistic.

General Kurykin, who returned to the tent, did not rest, and he could not rest with peace of mind. In his mind, he kept recalling the situation of today's ground and air battles. His tactics and command were correct. Appearance should be an accidental factor, but General Konev, Commander of the Air Force of the military region, has an inescapable responsibility.
