    Loss of air superiority

    Lieutenant General Vajim, commander of the artillery of the Soviet Far East Army, has never relaxed his inner tension since he showed all his trump cards during the artillery battle just now.  (Just read the novel.)

    At this moment, the only thought in his mind was to hope that the five heavy artillery brigades he had just given the order could quickly deploy their positions to prepare for the subsequent artillery bombardment launched by the squadron.

    However, what made him despair was that the news that the artillery positions of the five heavy artillery brigades, which he had assembled and ten heavy artillery brigades, had been bombarded just as they were about to start taking action, reached his headquarters through the phone.

    "What are you talking about? An artillery unit suddenly appeared from the Chinese ** team. They are using artillery fire to advance layer by layer to carry out saturation artillery fire on our artillery group" Listening to the sound of explosions a few kilometers away  Suddenly there was a lot of intense artillery fire.  Lieutenant General Vajim asked directly with an incredulous look on his face.

    "Yes, Comrade Commander" the operational staff officer of the headquarters replied affirmatively.

    After seeing the uncertain expression on Lieutenant General Vajim's face, he continued to reply in a low voice: "Comrade Commander, according to the latest battle report from the front line, our artillery group was destroyed in less than five minutes of indiscriminate saturation bombardment.  At least two hundred artillery pieces and more than two thousand artillery personnel were lost"

    "Bang" Lieutenant General Vajim's clenched fist hit the desk in front of him hard.

    After seeing his subordinate standing motionless in front of him with a solemn expression.  Lieutenant General Vajim, who looked angry, cursed directly: "Chinese artillery, I will use artillery shells to blow you to pieces"

    Unlike the anger of the commander, Lieutenant General Vajim, the chief of staff in front of him was obviously much calmer.  After seeing the anger that enveloped Lieutenant General Vajim's face dissipate a lot as time went by.  He directly asked tentatively: "Comrade Commander, do you order the artillery unit under attack to retreat immediately?"

    "Retreatcan our retreat speed be comparable to the speed of artillery shells" A hint of sneer appeared on Lieutenant General Vajim's face.

    Immediately, he seemed to have thought of something, and asked directly with a look of anticipation: "How long will it take for the next five heavy artillery brigades to launch a counterattack?"

    "It will take at least twenty minutes" the chief of staff replied helplessly.

    "Twenty minutes. In twenty minutes, our thousands of artillery pieces will all turn into a pile of scrap metal What are you still doing? Order the five heavy artillery brigades to speed up immediately. What I need now is time  At the same time, order the artillery staff to immediately calculate the specific location of the Chinese artillery positions. Once the artillery positions are deployed, immediately launch a counterattack and destroy them" Lieutenant General Vajim, who looked heartbroken and anxious, directly faced the staff officer in front of him.  The commander ordered.

    "Yes, Comrade Commander"

    As Lieutenant General Vajim, who holds thousands of large-caliber artillery pieces, he did not wait for his subordinates to have a chance to counterattack until the artillery group that was attacked. More than a thousand large-caliber artillery pieces were all turned into scrap metal.

    And just when the heavy artillery brigades he had high hopes for fired back artillery shells filled with revenge into the Chinese artillery positions.  Three heavy artillery brigades.  The transfer was quickly carried out under Chen Guangrong's strict order.

    The first round of artillery battle between the Chinese and Soviet armies was under the shocked eyes of everyone.  It ended with the Soviet army losing more than a thousand artillery pieces and the Chinese artillery victory.

    The air force failed in the battle, and the artillery battle also failed.  The face of General Gorodovikov, commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Army, who was originally confident about this offensive, quickly turned pale.  However, even so, General Gorodovikov did not give up his determination to continue the offensive.

    Because he knew that as the world situation became increasingly unfavorable to the Soviet government, General Secretary Stalin in Moscow had a pair of eyes.  He has already started to stare at the battle here.  Once he returns without success and causes heavy losses to the great Soviet Far East Red Army, the ending that awaits him will definitely be even more tragic than that of his predecessor, General Benodov.

    Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent appeared directly on the face of the general.  Facing the Chief of Staff of the Far Eastern Army waiting for orders in front of him.  He decisively ordered: "Comrade Chief of Staff, immediately issue an order to the Air Force Commander: The rear air force will continue to attack and obtain air superiority on the battlefield at all costs. Then, suppress the Chinese artillery force"

    "Give a name to all the attacking troops in the first round: All combat troops will launch an attack immediately according to the original combat plan of the Far East Army Headquarters. Use our steel torrent to tear apart the Chinese blocking positions in one fell swoop and annihilate them all  .¡±

    "Yes, Commander-in-Chief" the Chief of Staff replied with a serious face.

     "Buzz buzz" In order to gain air supremacy on the battlefield, the Air Force Commander under the Far East Army also began to go crazy

    In order to keep one's position, but also for one's own honor.  One after another, fighter squadrons, under the orders of Air Force Commander Lieutenant General Mawisky, rushed into the sky regardless of consumption, rushing towards the air combat battlefield that had swallowed up countless outstanding Soviet pilots.

    At the same time, two heavy tank brigades, one mechanized infantry division, one ordinary infantry division a total of 50,000 old Maozi troops directly formed an unstoppable torrent of steel, like a sheathed sword, and quickly blocked the border guards.  Go straight in the direction of the position.

    The battle is still going on, and the temporary victory achieved by the artillery group has diluted the increasingly solemn atmosphere in many headquarters.  However, in the face of the Soviet Union's increasingly fierce offensive momentum, everyone's faces, including the commander-in-chief Liu Hua, were still covered with a thick layer of solemn expressions

    Especially when you hear the roar of fighter planes and explosions in the sky.  In the huge underground headquarters, the tense face of Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua hardly ever relaxed.

    "Commander in chief, the latest battle report of the Air Force" Commander Chen Hong, with a solemn expression, walked directly to Liu Hua and reported.

    "Tell me" Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua, who had some expectations on his face, quickly asked as his eyes lit up.

    "The situation is very not optimistic After an hour-long aerial battle, more than half of the fighter planes dispatched by our air force have been destroyed, and at least 30 fighter planes have to withdraw from the battlefield due to injuries. So far,  So far, there are only less than a hundred fighters left on the entire air combat battlefield" Chen Hong said.

    "The loss is so big" Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua's face, which showed a hint of hope just now, was directly covered by a solemn expression, and he couldn't help but ask in reply.

    However, after thinking about the powerful opponent he was facing, he fell silent, and then asked: "Commander Chen, how many trump cards does the Air Force still have that it has not used since the war started?"

    "There are only three fighter regiments left"

    "Three fighter regiments, plus less than a hundred fighters left in the air, even if they are all added up, there are only two hundred. What about the Soviet Union, our opponent, the Soviet Union, how many fighter planes have been dispatched in total?" said someone who knew his own air force.  After gaining strength, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua continued to ask with a heavy face.

    "On the current air combat battlefield, there are still more than a hundred fighters fighting with us. However, according to radar, the Soviet Air Force's follow-up troops are continuously rushing to the battlefield from the rear. According to the calculations of the Air Force Command, the old enemy on the opposite side  Mao Zi, he must want to gain air superiority over the entire battlefield" Chen Hong replied.

    Losing air supremacy on the battlefield means that in the next battle, your infantry will directly face the double blow of the Lao Maozi Air Force and the ground army.  And this immediately reminded Liu Huaxiang of the scene when the Japanese army, navy, land and air forces attacked Shanghai in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War

    Having no air supremacy directly means that in the following battle, if you want to hold your position, you will have to use the lives and blood of a large number of soldiers to block Lao Maozi's torrent of steel and bullets.  For a moment, the heavy expression on Liu Hua's face became even thicker.  After a brief reflection, he asked Chen Hong in front of him.

    "What is the opinion of the Air Force Command"

    "The opinion of the Air Force Command is that even if all the air force is used, it cannot stop the offensive of the Soviet Air Force. In this case, it is better to keep these fighters and continue to hunt and kill Lao Maozi Air Force units in the surrounding areas of the entire air combat battlefield.  A fish that slipped through the net and fought guerrilla warfare with Lao Maozi's Air Force" Chen Hong said.

    "In other words, they plan to give up air supremacy on the battlefield?" Liu Hua frowned immediately and asked.

    "Yes, Commander-in-Chief I think this is a helpless move. After all, our air force strength is limited. It is impossible for the follow-up troops to rush to the battlefield immediately. Rather than losing all the fighters at once, it is better to slowly  Fighting with Lao Maozi Air Force always gives Lao Maozi Air Force a sense of pressure" Chen Hong directly expressed his inner thoughts.

    Liu Hua nodded noncommittally, quickly turned his attention to several army commanders, and asked: "Comrades, you are aware of the situation. Now I want you to answer my question solemnly. After losing the air cover, you  Can the three armies be able to withstand Lao Maozi's attack for three days and three nights under the attack of Lao Maozi's air force"

    The three army commanders did not hesitate and looked at each other.  The three faces showed firm expressions.  Facing Liu Hua in front of him, he assured loudly: "Please rest assured, chief, the people are at the position"

    "Okay, then I will hand over the position to youyou"Remember, during the battle, I, Liu Hua, will do my best to order the limited air force in my hand to reinforce the battlefield as much as possible" Looking at the three battlefield veterans who have experienced the Long March and the Anti-Japanese battlefield Liu Hua looked at the three battlefield veterans in front of him.  Hua seemed to have returned to the war-torn era, with the same firm expression on his face.
