    In order to keep confidentiality, the plane took off from the airport in Shah Yatyrek. This is a military airport that was built just over half a month ago. Although it was put into use for a short time, all ground facilities, such as control towers, hangars,  Oil depots, etc. are all available, and for safety reasons, there is also a backup airport in Bole in the southwest to ensure wartime needs.

    A full hour has passed since the plane took off. Although the airport has received good news from the forward command center that Druzhba has been successfully captured, the Air Force's bombing of Druzhba is only part of the mission, and more importantly  It was an air strike against Zarbukra and Kyzylagash in Lake Ara.

    Rutherford invented the geophone in 1895, and Logie invented the experimental resonant circuit wireless telegraph in 1896. From 1899 to 1901, the Italian scientist Marconi and the Russian scientist Markov put wireless telegraphy into practice.  After many improvements, the practical wireless telegraph system was put into use and began to gradually replace the old wired telegraph.

    Since 1915, the Chinese Communist Party has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the development of wireless communications at the request of Fang Zida, and has gradually equipped the army with small wireless telegraphs.  Similarly, the Air Force, as a new service, has made more extensive use of wireless telegraphy. In addition to equipping bombers with wireless telegraphs for communicating with base and airport headquarters, each aircraft group has also equipped its bombers with newly developed wireless telegraphs that can be used directly for communications.  Wireless telephones to achieve better combat command effects.

    Theoretically speaking, the radio propagation distance is far beyond Zarbukhara and Kyzylagash to Shayatierk Airport, but because there are mountains several kilometers above sea level between the two places,  Existing radio technology simply cannot communicate effectively.  Now, the officers at the airport headquarters are anxiously waiting for information about the first batch of attack formations, and some young officers with a more impatient temper can't help but walk to the window.  Looking northwest.

    At 5:17, the telegraph operator who had been using wireless telegraphy to contact the flight formation suddenly shouted: "There is news!" Suddenly everyone in the airport headquarters stood up. In order to avoid disturbing the telegraph operator's work, they did not  They dared to rush forward, but the urgency in the telegraph operator's expression proved their inner expectations and anxiety.

    "Didididididididdid"

    A few minutes later, the telegraph operator sent and received messages at a skillful pace.  He tilted his ear slightly, listened attentively, grabbed a pen in one hand and wrote quickly on the paper. After writing the last word, the telegraph operator took off his earphones with a smile on his face, grabbed the telegram in his hand and announced to everyone: "Everything went well.  ! Most of the targets were destroyed, and we did not suffer any losses. The formation is now returning! It is recommended that the command headquarters immediately send a second wave of formations to continue the attack! "

    "Long live!"

    After the telegraph operator finished speaking, the command headquarters suddenly erupted into cheers after a few seconds of silence.  Everyone, regardless of military rank, age difference, or even gender, hugged each other with joy and shouted excitedly.  It was not until the top officer issued the order to carry out the second wave of bombing immediately with a smile on his face that everyone happily devoted themselves to the continued work.

    At five-thirty, a black spot gradually appeared in the white sky, followed by twothreefouruntil densely packed planes appeared on their way home.  The Chinese Air Force returned from its first expedition, which made people in the entire airport go crazy.  Except for some ground personnel who were guarding their posts, everyone excitedly took off their hats and ran and jumped.  Wave to the plane returning victoriously.

    The first one to land was the bomber. When its huge body landed on the runway with a rumble and taxied, everyone saw the pilot in the glass cockpit smiling at them with his thumbs up in a victory pose.  Then twothreeflight formations landed in an orderly manner one by one. At the same time, the ground personnel who had been prepared ran to the aircraft they were responsible for and greeted these heroes.

    When the airport headquarters became a sea of ??cheers, the same scene was also staged at Lu Jianzhang¡¯s headquarters.  When I learned that all the attacks were successful.  After the Air Force's first attack basically destroyed the military camps and facilities in Zarbukla and Kyzilagash, Lu Jianzhang felt completely relieved and smiled with relief.

    "Send power to the airport headquarters and agree to their request for a second attack." Lu Jianzhang gestured to the staff officer beside him to record the order, and continued: "Order the 3rd Armored Division to pursue the victory. The task of clearing Druzhba is handed over to the infantry behind.  Done, take down Zarbukla and Kizilagash as quickly as possible!"

    Shortly after the order was issued, the Air Force¡¯s second sortie took off one after another from Shah Yatyrek Airport and continued towards the target that had been bombed into a sea of ??flames.  At this time, the 3rd Armored Division, which had taken a short rest, had also arrived at Alahu. It decisively divided its troops into two groups and continued to move forward aggressively with the five reorganized divisions behind it!  forward!  The road is going smoothly,??Puzharbukhara and Kyzylagash.

    Around 11 o'clock in the morning, the Air Force had launched three consecutive waves of attacks, with more than 500 takeoffs and landings. The Soviet Red Army in Zarbukla and Kizilagash were bombed horribly without even being able to react.  , with more than 30,000 direct casualties. All military camps, headquarters, and fortifications have been reduced to a pile of ruins. Soldiers fleeing from the bombings are everywhere in a radius of more than ten kilometers. The entire organization has long been messed up by sudden bombings and aerial strafing.  The soldiers couldn't find the generals, the generals couldn't find the soldiers, and even the vast majority of the surviving people didn't even know where the weapons in their hands were. They just held their heads in their hands and looked for a safe place to hide.

    The Soviet Red Army who survived the bombing had no time to react. Just after 12 noon, the forwards of the 3rd Armored Division rushed in front of them.  It was not just tanks that came, but also a large number of infantrymen who advanced rapidly with tanks.  By the time the Chinese ground troops arrived, the Soviet Red Army, which had already fallen into a state of collapse, had completely lost its confidence in resistance. Except for some small units organized by political commissars who were stubborn, they had already been beaten by the Chinese one after another with a combination of punches.  The disoriented Red Army reluctantly surrendered.  As for those small groups of resistance, they were like mantises in front of the powerful tanks. After a few rounds of shells, the tanks directly ran over them. The soldiers who followed did not even have time to fire a shot. These people became meat in the pile of rocks.

    The offensive in the Northwest Military Region went smoothly. By three o'clock in the afternoon, Zarbukla and Kizilagash were occupied by the Chinese National Defense Forces. In just a few hours of fighting, a total of more than 50,000 Soviet Red Army personnel were eliminated and captured.  Except for a small number of cavalry who escaped northward, it can be said that the Soviet heavy troops northwest of Alashan Pass were almost completely wiped out, and the Chinese National Defense Forces have completely opened the road from the northwest to Moscow.

    Fang Zida, who was in the capital, had been waiting at the wartime base camp since last night. When the good news from the northwest came, Fang Zida suppressed the ecstasy and excitement in his heart and handed the telegram to Wu Peifu with a calm expression.

    "Lu Langzhai did a good job. The sword is indeed not old! It is a bit unexpected to capture Zarbukhara and Kizilagash so quickly." Wu Peifu was overjoyed after reading the telegram. He had previously  I was also worried that the northwest side would be more difficult than the Shangzhen side of Mongolia. After all, the terrain of the two places was more suitable for armored operations and large force operations than the Shangzhen side. I didn¡¯t expect that only half an hour had passed since I had just received the good news from Shang Zhen. Lu Jianzhang¡¯s good news  Also arrived.

    Although excited, Wu Peifu was still clear-headed. He immediately sent someone to ask about the losses of the northwest and Mongolian troops, especially the situation of the air force and armored forces.  Although the telegrams from Lu Jianzhang and Shang Zhen both stated that the casualties of the troops were minimal, in the eyes of Wu Peifu, the Chief of General Staff, the casualties of soldiers were far less important than the losses of aircraft and tanks. You must know that in this combat plan, the final  What is important is the power of aircraft and tanks. What the Chinese National Defense Force needs now is speed and time. It must attack the opponent with its maximum ability before the enemy fully reacts, causing greater results and achieving the planned plan.

    After waiting patiently for about an hour, the replies from Lu Jianzhang and Shang Zhen finally arrived. After reading the telegrams, Fang Zida and Wu Peifu finally breathed a sigh of relief. According to them, except for a few tanks and self-propelled artillery that had problems due to mechanical failures, all the other armored units had problems.  Normal, and except for a fighter jet in the Northwest Military District that accidentally crashed during landing, the Air Force had no other losses.

    In the evening of that day, the news came out that the Chinese National Defense Forces had officially launched a war against the Soviet government, and the whole world was shocked.  At six o'clock in the evening, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a press conference. As the Soviet government launched a sudden attack on the Chinese defenders at the border at four o'clock in the morning that day, the Chinese National Defense Forces resolutely fought back against the enemy in order to defend their homeland and maintain world peace, and gave them punishment for the intruders.  The enemy suffered a heavy blow.  And at three o'clock that afternoon, they captured Zarbukra, Kyzylagash, and Irkutsk, annihilating and capturing a total of more than 100,000 enemy troops  "

    "How can it be!"

    "Thisdid I hear it wrong? One hundred thousand people?"

    "My God! Did I remember the wrong day? Today is April Fool's Day?"

    As soon as the spokesperson finished speaking, reporters from various countries were dumbfounded, and no one believed their ears.  As for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs' claim at the beginning that the other side launched the attack first, they didn't care at all. Anyway, China and the Soviet Union had already declared war, so the Chinese were probably just talking like this for the sake of face.  What shocked everyone was what happened next. In just one day, 100,000 troops of the Soviet Red Army were wiped out by the Chinese, and the Chinese National Defense Forces actually captured Zarbukra, Kyzylagash, and other cities at an incredible speed.  Could it be that the three important towns of Irkutsk were made of mud by the Soviets?  A whole hundred thousand troops!  No matter how hard you fight, they can't be gone in just ten hours. Even if the opponent has 100,000 pigs there to catch, it will take several days, right?  (To be continued.??)
