Age of Rebirth

Wang Jun was taken aback by Tang Qiuli's sudden question, but he immediately realized that the division commander's inquiry about the situation of the [-]st and [-]nd brigades directly under the Corps was probably related to Commander Sun's telegram, so Wang Jun replied concisely: : "Master, three hours ago, I received a telegram from Chief of Staff Zhao. The first brigade and the second brigade have entered the Bulgan area. According to the current marching speed, they will arrive at 『 Color 』Lengge River line.

Tang Qiuli thought for a while, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said: "Okay, Chief of Staff Wang, call Sun Zhenbang back, agree to his request, and revoke the "sexual" defense order. The line of the "Selenge River" blocked the Soviet army for five days, and at the same time, directly under the first and second brigades of the Corps, they were assigned to his combat order." "Novel. He is in command!"

"Send a telegram to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe that the First and Second Brigades will secretly enter the Selenge River blocking position tomorrow, that is, after 21:[-] pm on September [-], and Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe will return immediately Kulun, set up the Outer Mongolia Campaign Headquarters."

After Wang Jun repeated his order, he went out to send a telegram. Tang Qiuli turned his gaze to Liu Cuigang and asked gently, "Cuigang, tell me about your situation!"

Liu Cuigang said: "Teacher, today's situation is like this. We dispatched eight fighter regiments, two regiments, a total of more than 38 aircraft, won a bomber division of the Soviet Army, and severely damaged a fighter division. According to the coordinates provided by Commander Sun, the bombing of the artillery positions of the Soviet Army, our department paid the price of being shot down 65 fighters and [-] bombers, and [-] fighters and [-] bombers were damaged.”[

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "That's right, Cuigang, the result of the three-to-one victory, the aviation unit. Then he played awe-inspiring. Without your help, Sun Zhenbang's life today would definitely be difficult, and he would not bring it up. Stop it!" To put it bluntly, the request of the Soviet army for more than a week is because you have given Sun Zhenbang courage!"

Facing the commander's praise, Liu Cuigang did not have much joy. He said: "Master, our aviation force fought against the Soviet aviation force again after a few years. I feel uncomfortable. In terms of fighting spirit and fighting will. The pilots are not as fierce as the little devil pilots, and they don’t have the energy of the outlaws. The tactical level is about the same. The overall level is roughly the same as that of the Kwantung Army Air Force.”

"The key is that the fighters used by the Soviet Army are of the "Ilyushin" type. There is nothing surprising about their speed, firepower, and maneuverability. The main reason is that the fighters have very thick protective armor. Simply put, they are quite resistant to beatings. , Our fighter jets that were shot down and damaged. Most of them suffer from this, otherwise, none of the first fighter divisions would be able to escape!"

As he said that, Liu Cuigang was still full of hatred, but Tang Qiuli asked another question. He asked, "Cuigang, what do you think the Soviet Air Force will do next to deal with our fighter jets?" threat to seize air supremacy?"

Liu Cuigang opened his mouth without hesitation and answered: "Increasing troops! Other than that, don't go any other way. We are now in Outer Mongolia, with fifteen fighter regiments and six bomber regiments. This type of aircraft, in terms of military strength, has already surpassed the existing strength of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region Air Force, without increasing troops, seizing air supremacy is just empty talk, and we will have to be bombed by our bombers all day long."

"However, don't worry, commander. Even if Lao Maozi has more than twice as many planes as mine, I am still confident that I can kill the Soviet fighter jets in the northern part of Outer Mongolia. However, the ground fire support for Sun Zhenbang's troops is only It has to be reduced a lot!"

Tang Qiuli looked at Liu Cuigang very approvingly, feeling sincerely relieved, and said: "Cuigang, I'm very happy, you can clearly judge this point, the current situation is like this, we have provided nearly one-third However, the Soviets only used the strength of one military region. The strength of the national power cannot be changed overnight. However, the most advantageous aspect for us now is that the Soviets dare not use all their military strength to come to Outer Mongolia. area."

"Moreover, the longer the war drags on, the more unfavorable it is to the Soviets. Winter is coming, which is a very unfavorable factor for the Soviet army, which relies heavily on mechanization. Therefore, the strategy of the Soviet army is to make a quick decision. Stalin was afraid of the war in Outer Mongolia, and it would be a protracted war. If the ground forces can’t give full play to their advantages, then they can only make decisions on aviation, so your judgment is completely correct.”

Liu Cuigang got up abruptly, and said: "Please issue an order from the division commander. Even if the strength of the Soviet aviation force is several times greater than mine, I will kill the old Maozi's planes one by one. I promise not to let them go." Cullen suffers anything! Guaranteed to control the air supremacy!"

Tang Qiuli smiled slightly, motioned Liu Cuigang to sit down, and said: "Cuigang, how can I let you fight desperately with the superior Soviet air force? This is not in line with the principles of war I have always advocated. The order, in addition to the four fighter regiments and two bomber regiments that were originally scheduled to be transferred to Outer Mongolia, will add another six fighter regiments and two bomber regiments, making a total of ten fighter regiments, four bomber regiments, and more than 800 troops. All planes are under your command!"

"Le Yiqin replied to the telegram, but complained that I was biased. The Southern Aviation Group had only 21 fighter regiments and eight bomber regiments. Most of them were transferred to the north. It was natural that he was reluctant, but he still obeyed the overall situation. Is there a recent war in the Indochina Peninsula, but Le Yiqin has a condition!"

Speaking of this, Tang Qiuli stopped talking consciously, looked at Liu Cuigang, Liu Cuigang suddenly became nervous, leaned forward, and asked: "Master, could it be that Le Yiqin personally led the team and came to Outer Mongolia to meet with you?" Shall I fight for the command?" After speaking, his eyes were fixed on the face of the teacher, looking for an answer.

Tang Qiuli was so happy that his stomach ached. Who said that Liu Cuigang is a rough person? You see, how sensitive he is. Also, when it comes to the issue of war, the commanders at all levels of the independent division are all ghosts. There is no way to win a battle.

Tang Qiuli couldn't help laughing, and pointed at Liu Cuigang and said, "Cuigang, you are really smart enough, that's what Le Yiqin means. After arriving in Outer Mongolia, set up an air combat headquarters. The two of you will serve as the chief and deputy commanders. Be right, you should be right, Zigang, what's your opinion?"

Liu Cuigang thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, and said, "Master, that's all, that's it. They are all old and old guys. Whoever is right is right. Anyway, since he joined the Air Force of the Independent Division, he has been right. If it weren't for the separation of the North and the South, wouldn't I still be his deputy! Our two brothers can fight side by side again. Is there anything happier than this, good guy, the Southern and Northern Flying Groups together have more than 2000 aircraft , Master, what a great deal!"

Tang Qiuli waved his hand and said, "Cuigang, what I was about to talk about is this matter. Before the reinforcements from the Southern Flying Group arrive, you will still be under a lot of pressure. You must control the troops well. In other words, with so many planes, the field airport has become a problem. I have ordered Zhou Yushan, the deputy director of the logistics department of the division, to urgently build a temporary field airport in Outer Mongolia to solve the landing problem of so many planes. After going back, seriously summarize the experience and lessons of today's air battle!"

Liu Cuigang walked away energetically. Tang Qiuli looked at his vigorous back and smiled. He knew Liu Cuigang's temper. After returning to the army, it must be a pre-war mobilization. Make sure to play it well, don't lose face of our Northern Aviation Group and so on.

However, Tang Qiuli likes this kind of competitive atmosphere. Only a team that is unwilling to lag behind and admit defeat is a team that has combat effectiveness, vigor, and can fight. Soldiers, you need to have such a vigor!

After thinking silently for a while, Tang Qiuli picked up the phone, "The Second Cavalry Brigade? I'm the division's temporary headquarters. I'm looking for your Brigadier Tong!" [

After a while, Tong Batu's angry voice came from the other end of the phone, "I'm Tong Batu, who is it?"

Tang Qiuli smiled. This Mongolian man speaks Chinese quite fluently, but there is an indescribable taste in the syllables, "I, Brigadier Tong, it has been a day since the troops returned to Kulun. I haven't spared time to visit you, so how about it, it's getting late, so I won't disturb the soldiers, please come to the temporary headquarters, there is a task to explain!"

On the other end of the phone, Tong Batu stood at attention and replied: "It's the teacher, Tong Batu will be there soon!"

Putting down the phone, Tang Qiuli shouted, "Snow! Snow! Come here!"

Mei Xue heard the sound coming in, widened her beautiful eyes in surprise, and said reproachfully: "I don't know, keep your voice down, the staff are all working, what's the matter? They're yelling!"

Tang Qiuli smiled, and ordered: "Burn a pot of good milk tea, reheat today's hand-caught mutton, and order the cooking team to make some small dishes. After a while, Brigadier Tong will come, yes Now, take out the bottle of Xifeng wine I brought from China!"

Mei Xue was puzzled and asked, "Aren't you the most opposed to drinking in the army, and you have issued special orders, especially on the front line, why today...?"

Looking at his wife's big black and white eyes full of doubts, Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "How can you entertain Mongolian men with wine? Isn't that not enough to have fun? It's a big spoiler. Today's situation is special. Make an exception. Go and prepare quickly." , the Mongolian man is fast, and he will arrive as soon as he talks!"

Mei Xue muttered, "I can't say it to you, you are always right," then twisted her graceful waist, gave her husband a white look, turned around and went out to get ready.

Sure enough, in less than 10 minutes, there was a rush of horseshoes outside the temporary command department.
