Over Nomonhan, a huge fleet of aircraft flew in the airspace of 3,000-6,000 meters.
From the ground, the fleet was like a swarm of locusts, covering the sky and the sun, with hundreds of aircraft.
Among them, there were more than 200 bandicoot tactical transport aircraft alone.
Moreover, one-third of these bandicoot tactical transport aircraft were different from other bandicoot transport aircraft. They were larger in size and had many differences in details.
These larger bandicoot tactical transport aircraft were the second-generation bandicoots.
Compared with the first-generation bandicoots, the second-generation bandicoots also used a type of jet engine.
This is the turboprop engine. It can be regarded as a gas turbine engine used in aircraft.
Its engine structure is the same as that of a turbojet engine, but it has two more parts.
They are the propeller and the reduction gear.
The power of this turboprop engine can reach 4,500 shafts per unit, and the total power of the four engines is 18,000 horsepower. The piston engine previously carried by the bandicoot transport aircraft only had a power of 2,700 horsepower per unit, and the total power was just over 10,000 horsepower.
The substantial improvement of the engine naturally also greatly improved the performance of the Bandicoot transport aircraft.
The most obvious change is that the maximum take-off weight has increased from 50 tons to 70 tons.
The speed is still around 600 kilometers per hour, and there is no obvious change. The range is shorter than the first generation, with a maximum range of only 4,000 kilometers.
And the load capacity has also increased from 18 tons to 22 tons.
In terms of overall performance, it has completely surpassed the first generation of Bandicoot transport aircraft.
28 And it also has the ability to take off from a simple runway.
It can perform a variety of military tasks.
The 210 Bandicoot transport aircraft dispatched by the Air Force this time can carry an average of fully armed soldiers each.
These 200 Bandicoot transport aircraft alone carry more than 10,000 fully armed paratroopers.
In addition to the Bandicoot transport aircraft, there are 120 first-generation Century strategic transport aircraft.
It carries the heavy weapons of the First Airborne Division and various combat supplies.
This fleet has as many as 330 transport planes alone, and is escorted by more than 200 MiG-20 fighters and first-generation Invader attack aircraft.
Their target is not Kulun, but Kyakhta, an important commercial port city on the Mongolian-Soviet border.
Although Kyakhta's importance has been greatly reduced after the construction of the Far East Railway, it is still one of the main channels connecting Kulun.
And there is also a branch line of the Far East Railway extending from Chita, with Kulun as its destination.
Therefore, occupying Kyakhta is the top priority of this battle.
That's why such a large fleet was sent.
In addition to this fleet, there are two fleets on the way to Lake Khuvsgul and Uleghy.
However, the scale of the other two routes is not as large as this one.
Although Kyakhta is an important border commercial port, its scale is not very large.
It is just a small town with a population of no more than 100,000.
Kyakhta is still in the ice and snow at this moment.
The white snow covers the earth, covering it with a layer of silver.
"Boom boom boom......"
At low altitude, MiG-20 jet fighters roared towards Kyakhta.
Soon, a military base near Kyakhta came into the sight of the fighters.
A Mongolian cavalry battalion and a Soviet infantry battalion were stationed here.
These troops were all the troops in Kyakhta.
Mongolia was originally a vassal of the Soviet Union, and Kyakhta was deep in the hinterland and could not be attacked.
Therefore, stationing two battalions of troops here was not a small number.
"What is that?"
The barracks of the Mongolian and Soviet armies were next to each other. They almost simultaneously spotted the MiG fleet roaring in from the low altitude.
"Fighter? Is this our new fighter?"
At this time, they all thought it was their own fighter.
After all, this place is far from the border and is located in the central and northern part of Mongolia. It is impossible to be attacked by enemy aircraft.
However, the MiG-20 fleet quickly responded to them with action.
"whoosh whoosh whoosh......"
One after another, aerial rockets whizzed out from the rocket launcher.
"Enemy Attack....."
As they finished speaking, rockets exploded in the camp.
The barracks and the crowd were enveloped by the explosion.
Casualties immediately occurred.
"boom....."
MiG-20s flew over the camp at low speed.
Anti-personnel bombs, napalm bombs, and high-explosive bombs were dropped one after another.
"Boom boom boom......."
Suddenly, the two camps were engulfed in flames.
The invader attack aircraft also entered the scene at this time.
They launched a fierce attack on the two camps.
The Mongolian and Soviet armies suffered heavy casualties before they could react, and more than half of them were killed or wounded in the fierce air strikes.
At this time, the transport aircraft group also arrived in Kyakhta.
The bandicoot transport plane flew over 500 meters in the air.
White parachutes of the same color as the snow bloomed in the sky.
The Century strategic bomber was also at a very low altitude.
As the hatch opened, one Grizzly airborne tank after another was dragged out.
Then the large parachute group opened in the air. (To read the violent novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
The solid rocket engine at the bottom began to reverse and slow down.
The alloy honeycomb floor fell heavily into the snow.
Fortunately, the snow in Kyakhta is not very thick now, only a few dozen centimeters.
Otherwise, the tank would not be able to see a shadow when it fell down, only a hole.
In addition to the tanks, there were also standard pallets dropped from the air.[]
The M34 ultra-light howitzer, towed rocket launcher, etc. are fixed on it.
Among them, the towed rocket launcher is not a Red Alert weapon.
It is Jiang Fan's DIY work.
The inspiration comes from the 63-type rocket launcher of the later rabbit.
This rocket launcher is also known as one of the three major guerrilla artifacts.
The other two are the AK-47 rifle and the RPG-7 rocket launcher.
Being able to be listed alongside these two classic artifacts, you can imagine how classic the 63-type rocket launcher is.
This rocket launcher is also named the 35-type 107mm light multiple rocket launcher.
It is basically a replica of the 63-type 107mm rocket launcher.
There are a total of 12 directional tubes, arranged in 4×3, with a caliber of 107mm and a longer range of 10 kilometers.
These directional tubes can even be disassembled separately for shooting. They can also be disassembled and assembled during transportation, which is very light.
This is why it is called one of the three major guerrilla artifacts.
Airborne troops cannot carry too many heavy weapons.
The Type 35 107mm light rocket launcher weighs only more than 800 kilograms.
It is very suitable for airborne troops to carry out fire coverage.
The only disadvantage may be that it consumes some ammunition.
But the Chinese Air Force has extremely powerful strategic air transport capabilities.
The number of transport aircraft models now has reached 5, covering different transport weights and ranges.
In addition to the Bandicoot transport aircraft, there are two extended models of the Century strategic transport aircraft.
The other two are transport aircraft developed by Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation.
One is a turboprop version and the other is a jet engine version.
Jiang Fan has always attached great importance to air transport.
It is for this reason that the Chinese Air Force's air strategic transport capabilities are so powerful.
The number of transport aircraft of various models is as high as one or two thousand.
After landing, the First Airborne Division quickly completed the occupation of Kyakhta.
Parachute flowers also appeared over the small town of Barguzin next to the Khuvsgul Lake area.
It was the 4th Landing Brigade of the Second Airborne Division.
The airborne landing in Uleguay encountered some troubles.
Because it has started snowing again here.
However, the 8th Airborne Brigade of the 3rd Airborne Division still carried out a forced airborne landing.
The price was also heavy, and more than 50 soldiers lost contact.
But Ulegui is extremely important, and it is related to whether this Mengyuan Campaign will go smoothly.
Even if it costs a certain price, it is necessary to occupy this key city located in the Uvs Lake Basin.
As long as it is controlled here, it will be able to stop the Soviet army from the Altai Border Region and Central Asia.
"Report to the Chairman, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Airborne Divisions have all sent telegrams, and all three divisions have successfully landed. They have now occupied three places and started to build fortifications."
This Battle of Mengyuan was the first battle between China and the giant bear of Soviet Russia. The current Russian bear is not the purged army.
The combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
This is definitely a force that gets stronger and stronger.
If you underestimate this Russian bear, you will inevitably pay a heavy price.
There is a saying that goes, despise the opponent strategically and pay attention to the opponent tactically.
Although the Chinese National Defense Army has an absolute advantage in weapons and equipment, it cannot be arrogant because of this.
The Eagle Sauce in later generations suffered this loss.
""Okay, now it's Kulun."
Jiang Fan felt relieved.
As long as these three places were occupied, Mengyuan would basically be stable.
As for whether they could hold on, Jiang Fan had no doubt.
The three airborne divisions were the most elite troops of the Chinese National Defense Army.
They were all elite soldiers, and they were the most elite among the elite soldiers.
They were all veterans who had walked out of the flames of war.
If even they couldn't hold on, then the combat effectiveness of the Russian bear would be really amazing.
The main force responsible for the battle in the direction of Kulun was the 100th Air Assault Division.
However, Kulun was too far away, and the nearest place was more than 600 kilometers away.
Therefore, the 100th Air Assault Division could only adopt the leapfrog tactic.
That is, first occupy a place in the middle, and then use it as a transit station to attack Kulun.
