Age of Rebirth

Colonel Dong Ningxuan, chief of staff of the Northern Aviation Group, was somewhat puzzled by Le Yiqin's words. The combat meeting, as the name suggests, was about fighting. The commanders of the combat troops participated normally, so what did the logistics department follow?

However, since Hele Yiqin is not familiar with him, and he is the commander of another army, taking charge of his own army, it seems disrespectful to question rashly, so he refrained from asking. I saw Dong Ningxuan's doubts.

Le Yiqin said with a smile: "Chief of Staff Dong, you must not understand that I let the chief and deputy ministers of the logistics department participate in the combat meeting, right?"

Seeing that the new commander asked, Dong Ningxuan also nodded honestly, and Le Yiqin said with some pride: "It's very simple, the fighters and bombers of the two flying groups of the South and the North combined, there are probably [-] or [-]. The pressure on the logistics department has more than doubled. Moreover, the combat aircraft of the Southern Aviation Group are adapted to the subtropical climate. When they arrive in Outer Mongolia, the wind is blowing so hard that it might snow in a few days. , the temperature dropped sharply, and the logistical support had to do more work, which was not as easy as that of the combat troops. I took a vaccination in advance to save me from being in a hurry when the time comes!"

Dong Ningxuan suddenly realized, and looked at Le Yiqin with admiration. He hadn't considered these details. Just for routine operations such as the replacement of lubricating oil for various parts of combat aircraft, refueling supplements, and other routine operations, the ground staff at each airport had to be busy. overnight. [

Dong Ningxuan said: "Commander, I will issue an order in advance to the ground handling departments of each airport. If the fighter planes of the Southern Aviation Group land a batch, they will guarantee a batch immediately. Otherwise, things will be delayed tomorrow!" .

Le Yiqin nodded, agreeing to his arrangement, and after Dong Ningxuan's figure disappeared into the room, the smile on Le Yiqin's face disappeared, replaced by a serious one.

There is another matter that Le Yiqin did not mention to Dong Ningxuan. According to reports from various ground radar stations in the Outer Mongolia cruise area, the border of Outer Mongolia is close to the Soviet Union.Started this morning.The Soviet aircraft landed extremely frequently. The Soviet army's field airports such as Ulan-Ude, Irkutsk, Chita, and Barnur had a very dense landing of Soviet aircraft. Four groups of Soviet aircraft landed.

According to statistics from radar stations in various places, nearly one thousand Soviet combat aircraft arrived at the Soviet border airport throughout the day on September 25. If estimated according to this number, it would be the size of five Soviet fighter divisions.After confirmation, two of them were bomber divisions.

Le Yiqin's heart was not as relaxed as it appeared on the surface. Based on the report from the radar station a few days ago, the number of Soviet fighter jets had reached five divisions, which did not include the one and a half fighter divisions of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region Air Force. Add it up, the Southern Flying Group has to face.There will be more than 200 Soviet fighters.

And the twelve fighter regiments of the Southern Flying Group, plus the remaining five fighter regiments of the Northern Flying Group, the number of fighters.There are nearly 160 fighter jets, and they do not have an advantage in the number of fighter jets. Le Yiqin spent a lot of time thinking about how to fight this battle, but he knows one thing, tomorrow, in the airspace of the Selenge River.It will be a head-to-head contest. Liu Hongzhang's troops are all supported by their own air firepower.

"Ding Lingling" the phone on the table rang, and Le Yiqin answered the phone, "I'm Le Yiqin, who are you?"

On the phone, Liu Cuigang's voice came, "Old man, I'm Cuigang. After you and the division commander left, I reviewed the situation of several air battles over and over again. I don't know if some opinions are useful to you. If If you have time, come to the hospital and let's talk face to face!"

Le Yiqin's heart moved. When it comes to the experience of fighting the Soviet Air Force, Liu Cuigang is much richer than himself. The old man invites himself at this time, there must be something important to discuss. Thinking of this, Le Yiqin can no longer sit still He ordered Dong Ningxuan who had just returned to stay behind, and drove his military jeep like the wind to the field hospital.

When we met again a few hours later, Liu Cuigang's mental state had recovered, with a tinge of blood on his face, and he was leaning on the pillow, waiting for him.

As soon as we met, Liu Cuigang cut to the chase and said, "Yiqin, I commanded the troops to enter the Outer Mongolia area, fought several big battles with the Soviet Air Force, and summed up some ideas. The level is good, but the will to fight is far inferior to ours. The Soviet fighters’ firepower, performance, speed, climb speed, and ceiling are not outstanding.”

"But the most important point is that the protective performance of Soviet fighter jets is very superior. The built-in steel plate structure can effectively protect the safety of pilots and important parts of the aircraft, such as fuel tanks. Combat performance, in other words, is rough skin and thick flesh, but our fighter jets have Japanese, German, and Soviet ancestry.”

"Single-machine battles, our fighter jets may be fatal after one or two hits. The reason why we suffered losses in the two air battles later is because of this. Therefore, I have an idea, whether the medicine carried by our fighter jets can be replaced with High-explosive armor-piercing, as long as it hits one shot, it can blow a big hole in the fuselage of the Soviet fighter jet. I remember, I heard Wang Xu, the director of the Military Industry Bureau, said that our Dingbian Arsenal has this kind of medicine, but there is no It is generally equipped to the frontline troops."

"There is another point. If the Soviet army wants to break through the Selenge River defense line, it will inevitably dispatch a large number of bombers. This is the fate of the Soviets. In such a battle, your brother is a master. Didn't the team give you the nickname "Aerial Butcher!"

Le Yiqin immediately stood up, held Liu Cuigang's right hand tightly, and said: "Cuigang, your suggestion relieved the pressure in my heart. To be honest, facing the huge number of Soviet fighter jets, although I have to We are sure of victory, but we are also ready to destroy the crippled troops. This time, the rough skin and thick flesh can't hold us back. Kill the bomber fleet of the old man, and the rest is the battle of fighter jets. Cuigang, you Rest, I will go to the teacher right away!"

After finishing speaking, he left like a gust of wind. Liu Cuigang smiled, watched his brother go away, and thought to himself: "It hasn't changed at all, it's still the same irritable temper!"

Le Yiqin drove straight to the campaign headquarters. After seeing the division commander Tang Qiuli, he directly put forward his request. Tang Qiuli agreed without hesitation, and gave the division's logistics department deputy director and the logistics department of the Outer Mongolia Campaign Command. Minister Zhou Yushan, and Wang Xu, director of the Special Equipment Research Institute and director of the Dingbian Military Industry Bureau, sent a telegram ordering the two to work together to meet the combat needs of the aviation unit between tonight and tomorrow morning.

After Le Yiqin returned to Kulun Air Pointer, he ordered three transport aircraft regiments to take off immediately and rush to Dingbian, and coordinated with Dingbian Aviation School and Dingbian Air Defense Command, and then dispatched two transport aircraft regiments to go to various field airports in Outer Mongolia overnight. , Delivery of medicines to ensure the needs of the troops to fight tomorrow.

As a result, on the grasslands of Outer Mongolia where night had fallen, the various field airports of the Air Force of the Independent Division began to get busy again. Transport planes rose from the ground and flew towards Dingbian. In Saiyinshanda, they received orders from the division commander. Zhou Yushan was in Dingbian, and Wang Xu, who received the order from the division commander, was immediately overwhelmed. [

A busy and tense night passed, and the dawn of September 26 in Outer Mongolia arrived as scheduled. This night, Le Yiqin had no intention of resting until she received reports from various fighter regiments that the medicines had been replaced and all guarantees had been implemented. , was slightly relieved.

Same as Le Yiqin who stayed up all night, there are also the ground handling departments of various field airports of the aviation force, as well as various radar stations, and dozens of radar antennas, slowly rotating in the dawn light, transmitting beams of radio waves invisible to the naked eye. , Shooting into the air, all the Soviet field airports in the Soviet Union and around Lake Baikal were under surveillance.

Rubbing her sore eyes, Le Yiqin filtered her tactical arrangement in her mind again. This tactic was researched by everyone at the military meeting last night. It is simple to say. When the aviation teams played against each other, the Southern Aviation Group used it a lot.

Taking advantage of the ground radar, divide all fighter regiments participating in the battle into two parts. With more than half of the troops, they are responsible for diverting the fighter jets escorted by the Soviet army, and with a small number of troops, they are responsible for attacking the bomber fleet of the Soviet army. Then, the two formations Rendezvous, and then attack the Soviet fighter group.

The key to the implementation of this combat plan is that Le Yiqin's aircraft fleet must find out the course of the Soviet fighter jet fleet and bomber fleet in advance. In the middle of the Soviet fleet's flight to the bombing target, Le Yiqin's fleet attacked, disrupting the rhythm and deployment of the Soviet army, and preempting strikes could also be regarded as another form of ambush!

If the Soviet escort fighter group does not take the bait, it will continue to attack. From the Baikal area to the Selenge River battlefield, there is a voyage of seven to eight hundred kilometers. It is no wonder that the Soviet air formation can withstand the air raids along the way. , This style of play is a test of the endurance of fighter jets. The independent division fleet with auxiliary fuel tanks is enough to cope with long-term air combat.

Of course, Le Yiqin also left behind. If the Soviet escort fighter group came out in full force, entangled its own attack group, and let the bomber group continue to fly to the intended target, the three fighter groups as the reserve team would be able to fight against the enemy. Ambushing them in the airspace north of the Lengge River is easy to say but difficult to do, but with the surveillance of the ground radar station, all problems are solved.

At around 26 o'clock in the morning on September [-], there was still a busy and tense atmosphere inside the Kulun air arm of the Independent Division Air Force. .

At around four o'clock in the morning, a red phone in the air finger rang quickly.
