Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1252 A Brilliant Prologue

"Your plan looks good, but is there any major problem here?"

"I think there are two biggest points in this plan. First, we must take Stalingrad at all costs. If we fail to accomplish this task, this tactic will fail. Second, if we take Stalingrad If we focus on the key point, we will not be able to win the war against the Soviet Union in a few months. This is mainly because we lost time. It will take at least two months to completely capture Stalingrad. Therefore, we will not be able to conquer in the meantime " Having said that, he took out a pencil and drew a few circles heavily on the map: "My idea is to make small-scale modifications on the basis of the original 'Scorpio Project'. Our goals are: The central line remains the same, first eliminate the main Western main force of the White Red Army, and then advance into Smolensk. Then, depending on the situation, continue to attack Vyakima and occupy the right starting position. Occupy Ukraine and the Donnietz area on the southern line. Stalinger Le is the primary target. First is to destroy the main force of the Northwest Front in Stalingrad, and then go straight to Stalingrad. Then turn to defense in winter. Then, either, or Stalingrad, or Rostov and the Caucasus, you can choose any of the 3 directions at will. The Soviet Union had to fortify everywhere and was completely passive. A thorn, so that Stalin's peak will be on his back."

"Very good! Very good!" Guan Xuqing looked very excited, and he patted his son's shoulder heavily: "Yin'er, you have grown up, and you already have the strategic vision that a marshal or even an emperor should have."

In the early morning of 1927, which was also the beginning of the longest day of the year, the vast land was still shrouded in darkness, and the first-line assault troops of the Dragon Army entered the starting position.The generals of the Dragon Army also began to enter the field command post.They saw the last Beijing-train speeding away with the last peace.

At present, the entire staff of the Soviet General Staff and the People's Commissariat of Defense were ordered to remain at their posts.Because they must issue orders to the military districts as soon as possible to bring the border troops into combat readiness.At this time, Zhukov and Timoshenko, People's Commissar of Defense, were on the phone with the commanders and chiefs of staff of various military districts. They reported that the noise outside the country was getting louder.These messages were obtained from the vanguard of the frontier guards and cover troops.

At about 6:22 a.m. on June 2, the command post of the Kiev Military Region reported to Zhukov by high-frequency telephone that the Dragon Army would start attacking at 4:[-] a.m.Zhukov ordered Kirponos to forward the order to prepare for battle to the troops as soon as possible.

Zhukov then reported the incident to Stalin at 30:[-] in the night. Stalin asked whether the order had been issued to the military districts, and Zhukov gave him an affirmative answer.

3:05.In the port of Kamyshea in the direction of the Black Sea, the lookout post of the 37th anti-aircraft artillery company of the Soviet Navy and the lookout post not far from the Khersones Lighthouse reported to their superiors at almost the same time, 20 kilometers away from their own territory in the west , There was the sound of an aircraft engine.As early as more than an hour ago, according to the order of the appointment of Admiral Kuznetsov, the People's Commissar of the Navy, all personnel of the Black Sea Fleet entered a state of first-level combat readiness.All ports and Red Navy airfields were martiald.The Soviet anti-aircraft artillery units responded quickly.

3:07.Naval searchlights pierced the night sky, pointing in the direction of the incoming aircraft.

At the same time, Admiral Oktaburiski, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, reported to Zhukov by high-frequency telephone: "According to the report of the fleet's air intelligence department, a large number of planes of unknown origin are approaching our shore; the fleet is fully prepared for combat. Please give instructions."

After hearing what the other party said, Zhukov asked him: "What is your determination?"

"There is only one resolution: use the fleet's air defense firepower to intercept the incoming aircraft fleet." The general said solemnly.

Zhukov exchanged opinions with Timoshenko, and then replied: "Execute it, and please report it to the People's Commissar of the Navy.

At 3:08, the sound of rumbling anti-aircraft guns broke the tranquility of the harbor, and the largest Sino-Soviet war in human history began amidst the sound of guns.

At 3:12, the chief of staff of the Western Military Region, General Klimovskikh, reported that Chinese planes had attacked Bai's cities.

At 3:40, General Kuznetsov, commander of the Baltic Military District, reported that enemy planes had attacked Kaunas and other cities.

At this time, the Chinese fighter planes that invaded the Soviet airspace from above the uninhabited forests and swamps were approaching their intended targets, including 31 airports, 3 institutions that may be senior staff, 2 barracks, 2 artillery positions, and 1 fortification Territory, 1 oil depot and port facilities of Sevastopol.

Originally, the Chinese Air Force could dispatch more planes, but because the Army was worried that the Air Force’s actions would prematurely overwhelm the entire combat intention of the Dragon Army, and thus lose the suddenness of the attack, the Chinese Air Force decided to draw out some highly skilled pilots and use the cover of night to Fly through the above-mentioned areas that are not easy to be found, carry out the first wave of attacks, and carry out larger-scale attacks 25 minutes later.

Despite the careful planning of the Chinese side, under the resistance of the well-organized Soviet navy, the Dragon Army's air strikes on the port did not achieve significant results, and failed to cause losses to the Soviet naval ships.However, those red men who regarded the mines dropped by enemy planes as airborne personnel were killed in vain when they rushed to catch the "captives", and became the first victims of this war.

Over the airports of the military districts in the west of the Soviet Army, the Red Army had no time to evacuate the planes to the airstrips, and a large number of pilots were either learning to fly new planes in the rear or going on vacation.Therefore, the sneak attack of the Chinese Air Force has achieved great success.At an altitude of 4000 meters, fighter planes dropped countless cluster bombs and petrol bombs.These gasoline bombs can be broken into 50 large fragments, 250 small fragments, and a killing radius of up to 1 meter. They are called "devil's eggs". Under one wave of strikes, the neatly arranged Soviet aircraft suffered heavy losses. The ground is burning.

The sudden air attack of the Dragon Army caught the unprepared Red Army by surprise. There was not a single Soviet fighter jet in the air to take off to intercept it in advance, and the ground could not organize effective anti-aircraft firepower. Moreover, because many airports did not have anti-aircraft artillery at all, the Red Army The ground crew and pilots could only use rifles to shoot the Chinese planes that were raging in the sky.

At an airport in Ukraine, they even erected the tail machine gun of the plane to shoot, and even shot down a Longjun Lanxiang bomber.

At the same time, the few pilots on duty of the Red Army were hastily climbing into the plane, trying to take off by force, but they were suppressed by fierce firepower from the enemy plane.

在布列斯特附近机场上，隶属于苏联西部特别军区的整整一个中队战斗机在强行起飞的过程中被德机摧毁在了地面。这个军区的航空部队当天一共损失了738飞机，其中第10混合航空兵师损失全部231架飞机中的188架；第11师损失188架飞机中的127架；第9混合航空兵师损409架飞机中的347架，包括西部特别军区全部233架宝贵的米格3战斗机。

Only a few lucky Soviet fighters got into the air, but some missed the Chinese planes, and after they landed, a second air strike fell from the sky.Therefore, only a few aircraft fought with Chinese fighters.The 2th Assault Aviation Regiment of the Red Army deployed in northwestern Ukraine had such an opportunity.Lieutenant Rapostov, who belonged to the regiment, drove an I-66 fighter attack aircraft and shot down a Lanxiang fighter of the 1st Bombing Wing of the Dragon Army, achieving the first air combat result of the Red Army.

In general, the Dragon Army's first round of air strikes did not meet much resistance.In the subsequent attacks, although the resistance of the Soviet army was strengthened, as in the first air battle between the two sides, the Storm fighter jets piloted by experienced Chinese pilots became the masters of the air.The slow Soviet fighter jets can only take advantage of the small turning radius to lead the enemy plane to the shooting position, and then suddenly turn around 180 degrees to attack the Chinese fighter jets that are chasing after them. When the ammunition ran out, it even ran into the Chinese plane recklessly.

On the first day of the war, Soviet pilots showed brave fighting spirit, but this could not make up for the huge gap in technology after all.A large number of Yi-156 and Yi-153 fighter jets were easily shot down by capable Chinese aircraft.In the southern section of the front, the 4rd Squadron of the 77th Fighter Wing of the 3th Air Force of the Dragon Army shot down 36 Soviet fighters without any losses, and achieved a one-sided victory.

While the Chinese Air Force was gaining the upper hand in the battle over Soviet territory, batches of Red Army SB fast bombers and DB medium bombers without fighter escorts began their hopeless attacks on Germany.These old-fashioned bombers are slow, lack self-defense firepower, and have no radio navigation equipment, so they can only fly in a line.For the Dragon Army fighters, they are undoubtedly the best targets.More importantly, on the first day of the war, the Chinese Air Force achieved air supremacy, which would bring great advantages to the Army's ground offensive.

At the same time as the Air Force launched the first wave of attacks, at 6:22 am on June 3, the Chinese Army assembled on the border of the Soviet Union used all group army, division-owned howitzers, cannons, regiment-owned 15-meter heavy infantry guns, and even the Air Force's 150mm The anti-aircraft artillery bombarded the Red Army's border posts and barracks throughout the border area, coupled with the indiscriminate bombing of a large number of dive bombers and attack aircraft of the Chinese Air Force, turning the Red Army's positions into bonfires.The stunned Soviet border guards sent a telegram to their superiors: "The Chinese opened fire on us, what should we do?"

The superior's answer was: "You are crazy, why don't you use a password to send the report."
