After Tukhachevsky slammed his clenched fist on the desk in front of him, he suddenly woke up.
"Now I finally understand why the National Defense Forces launched artillery attacks on us at this time It turns out that all of this is to cover their aerial night raids"
Although the contents of the telegram became reality, the heavy expression on Tukhachevsky's face only lasted for less than ten seconds before it was once again covered up by confidence. He said with a sneer to the Chief of Staff: "Although the idea of ????the National Defense Force is good, they underestimate the air strength of the Soviet Red Army"
"Even if all our more than 1,200 fighter planes parked at the rear field airports are destroyed, the Far Eastern Army's more than 1,500 fighter planes parked at several other field airports can still completely control the air superiority of the entire battlefield"
The Chief of Staff of the Far East Military Region was not so heroic. He asked with a heartbroken look on his face: "Comrade Chief of General Staff, then we will just watch the National Defense Forces Air Force bomb the field airport and remain indifferent"
"Do you have any good ideas?" Tukhachevsky asked in a heavy tone.
Seeing the opponent shaking his head helplessly, Tukhachevsky analyzed: "The National Defense Forces attacked us regardless of the cost because they had no way to retreat. But we have enough ways to defeat them. The National Defense Forces, why do you still risk flying at night and make fun of the lives of your Air Force comrades"
Seeing the expression of heartache and unwillingness that still showed no relief on the opponent's face, Tukhachevsky continued his analysis: "According to the telegram, the air force dispatched by the National Defense Force exceeded one aviation division. Under the attack of such a large aviation formation, and Or is it a night attack? How long can the airport hold out"
"In the face of air strikes by the National Defense Forces, the only reinforcement we can provide is to send air defense troops and air force fighter groups. In such a short period of time, the air defense troops we sent have not yet arrived on the battlefield, and the entire field airport has suffered a devastating blow As for Send the air force to intercept, do you think, under the cover of night, our attacking air fleet can accurately find the National Defense Forces aircraft group and launch an attack"
Under Tukhachevsky¡¯s series of rhetorical questions, the chief of staff had to lower his head and say nothing.
With radar, a clairvoyant eye that is not affected by the environment, conducting remote control command, the entire air strike operation went smoothly as never before.
Ten flying groups with a total of 360 fighters of various types turned the largest field airport in the Soviet rear into a sea of ??fire at the cost of losing 23 fighters. At the same time, more than 1,200 Soviet fighter planes parked at the airport and a large amount of combat supplies stored in the airport were all burned to rubble
Li Guosheng was at the headquarters, looking at him with a tired face. However, Gao Zhihang's eyes exuded bursts of fiery gaze from beginning to end. Li Guosheng reminded with a serious face: "Commander Gao, although the air strike was successful, the next battle situation is still very serious for us"
Gao Zhihang first nodded in approval, and then replied with a look of helplessness: "Maintain. I understand everything you said However, after this attack, the Soviet army will definitely strengthen night vigilance and security at all major field airports. Air defense, we will never have the opportunity to launch such a profitable air attack on other field airfields behind the Soviet Union"
"Being able to destroy more than 1,200 Soviet fighter planes through one air strike is a great result beyond my imagination. You are not satisfied yet. You are really greedy" Li Guosheng joked with a smile.
???????????????? Later. Gao Zhihang warned Gao Zhihang with a serious face: "For the smooth progress of the entire war situation, even with the help of radar, the Second Air Division cannot have another military operation like tonight. If such an operation is carried out once, the Soviets may still think that We blind cats have bumped into dead mice. However, if we do it too much and succeed every time, the Soviets will become suspicious and consider whether we have new weapons in our hands and whether they will continue to fight us here."
"Please rest assured, sir. The Air Force will never take the initiative again However, if the Soviet Air Force comes to provoke, there will be no reason for the Second Air Division to continue to hide" Gao Zhihang shouted.
"Yes" Li Guosheng nodded affirmatively.
¡°Before the Air Force received the new Mustang fighter jets, the Second Air Division had only one mission: to provide air support to ground forces as much as possible before attracting the attention of the Soviet Air Force"
In the next half month, air battles between the enemy and ourselves continued. However, there was no large-scale air battle from beginning to end. because. As long as the Soviet Air Force launches a large-scale attack, the Second Air Division will temporarily avoid the edge and preserve its strength
Soon, half a month passed. Under Li Guosheng's anxious waiting. Li Meng, who has been staying at the general equipment departmentJie finally sent good news to Li Guosheng.
"After 27 days of hard work, the first batch of 72 Mustang fighter jets successfully rolled off the production line at the Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory. According to the coordination of the General Staff Headquarters, the 72 Mustang fighter jets will fly directly to the outside world under the control of 72 pilots of the Air Force. Mongolian battlefield, please prepare the frontline headquarters to receive"
After reading the telegram, Li Guosheng, who had been waiting anxiously for a month, finally showed a heartfelt smile.
Because the arrival of the 'Mustang' fighter jets means that the day of the National Defense Force's counterattack is coming.
After taking a long breath, he ordered the adjutant behind him with a hot face: "Notify the person in charge of the radar unit to immediately monitor the airspace around the airport 24 hours a day. If there is any situation, report it immediately"
"Notify the Third Guard Brigade to immediately go to the field airport to guard the field airport"
"Inform Commander Gao of the Second Air Division to immediately order the 72 outstanding pilots who have been selected to rush to the airport to stand by. I will rush to the field airport in an hour and welcome the arrival of the Mustang fighter jets with everyone"
After a series of orders were issued, Li Guosheng, who was full of expectations for the Mustang fighter jet, abandoned the command post and rushed to the field airport ten kilometers away with his guards
¡°It¡¯s coming¡¡± A cry of surprise rang out from the crowd, and a faint roar began to slowly reach everyone¡¯s ears.
In the field airport control tower numbered 02, a group of senior generals headed by Li Guosheng quickly raised their telescopes and looked in the direction of the sound.
With the help of the telescope, a black spot slowly appeared in front of everyone from far to near.
As the roar of the engine gets louder, the black spots become bigger and bigger. Soon, a blue fuselage that was more streamlined than the Air Force's active Wildcat fighter jets and had a completely open cockpit appeared in everyone's sight.
When the first Mustang fighter jet stopped in front of everyone with a roar. Among all the people here, Gao Zhihang, who has the most professional knowledge, his eyes lit up and he first asked Li Guosheng: "Chief, this is the Mustang fighter you have been telling us"
Li Guosheng nodded and asked: "How about these planes? Can these planes penetrate your teacher Gao's eyes"
Gao Zhihang nodded in agreement and replied to Li Guosheng: "Although I have never flown this kind of aircraft myself. But judging from the flight speed just now, the Mustang fighter in front of me has far surpassed Lao Maozi's new fighter ¡±
Li Guosheng shook his head and said: "Mr. Gao, you still underestimate the Mustang fighter in front of you As expected, the flight speed you just saw was only the cruising speed of the Mustang fighter. Enter the real battle. After reaching this state, the speed of this Mustang fighter can be increased by at least 100 kilometers per hour"
"Is this true" Gao Zhihang asked in disbelief.
At this moment, the pilot driving the first Mustang fighter quickly walked up to everyone. Hearing Gao Zhihang ask back,. He even forgot to salute, and responded subconsciously out of excitement: "Mr. Gao, what the commander said is true The maximum speed of the Mustang fighter can reach 780 kilometers per hour, far exceeding all fighter planes in the world"
"The speed is 780 kilometers per hour while the speed of the new Soviet fighter jets is only 620 kilometers per hour. In other words, when the Mustang fighters compete with the Soviet fighter jets, they have an absolute advantage just in terms of flight speed. " Gao Zhihang said loudly with an excited look on his face.
At Li Guosheng¡¯s signal. The pilot with the rank of captain on his shoulders continued to report: "Commander Gao, the advantage of the Mustang fighter is not only reflected in the flight speed of the fighter"
"Because the entire fighter plane uses new alloys, the weight of the entire fighter plane is directly 500 kilograms lighter than that of the Wildcat fighter. In addition, the Mustang fighter uses a new propeller, a full-view plastic canopy, and a new airfoil making it more powerful in fighter combat. Various performances have been greatly increased, and in terms of flexibility, it is no worse than the fighter jets currently in service in the Soviet Army."
"In addition, in order to reduce the resistance and hit rate of the fighter aircraft in air combat, the landing gear of the 'Mustang' fighter jet adopts movable type for the first time. That is to say, once the fighter aircraft takes off, the three landing gears will be retracted into the belly of the aircraft to reduce the impact of the aircraft. Fighter resistance in air combat.¡±
"In addition, the Mustang fighter still maintains and strengthens the powerful combat firepower of the Wildcat fighter due to its further reduction in weight"
"The combat firepower of the entire Mustang fighter jet includes: two 20mm caliber aviation cannons arranged side by side under the nose, and one 20mm caliber cannon on each side of the wings. In addition, the wings on both sides are also equipped with separate equipment. A 12.7 mm caliber aviation heavy machine gun supplements the firepower loopholes of four machine guns"
"Hiss" The officers of the Second Air Division headed by Gao Zhihang immediately took a breath and looked at the motionless Mustang fighter dozens of meters away as if looking at a monster.
because. In everyone's opinion, in addition to having various performances that far exceed those of the new Soviet fighter jets, the Mustang fighter is more like a fire hedgehog full of dangers. As long as they open fire, it is impossible for any enemy to escape the joint attack of four machine guns and two large-caliber heavy machine guns
When another Mustang fighter jet roared to a halt on the tarmac next to the runway, the shocked Gao Zhihang finally reacted. He asked Li Guosheng with a hot face: "Chief, can I fly the 'Mustang' fighter jet in front of me now to truly experience the powerful strength of the 'Mustang' fighter jet"
Li Guosheng shook his head and replied: "Forget it, the Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory worked overtime for half a month to produce 72 Mustang fighter jets. If I give you one, there will be one less 'Mustang' fighter jet participating in the war in the future." After all the fighters have landed, immediately let the 72 pilots you prepared adapt to the Mustang fighters as quickly as possible. Because I can only give you two days to prepare. After two days, I will use the 72 Mustangs in my hand. Fighters launched a counterattack against the Soviet Red Army.¡±
Although Gao Zhihang was disappointed, he also knew that everything Li Guosheng said was true.
After shaking his head helplessly, he assured Li Guosheng: "Please rest assured, our air force brothers will successfully complete the mission. In the future air combat battlefield, let the Soviet Air Force have a good taste of the power of our Mustang fighter jets ¡±
Li Guosheng nodded and continued the order: "I believe in you, Gao Zhihang One day later, I will find a way to create an air battle. Through actual combat, I will use the new fighters equipped by the Soviet Union to test the results of everyone's training, and experience it through an actual combat." Let¡¯s take a look at the specific performance of the ¡®Mustang¡¯ fighter jet¡¡±
"Yes, the main seat"
the next day. The Soviet Red Army's offensive on the position remained unchanged. However, in order to prevent the fighter planes from being wiped out by the Wehrmacht Air Force, which had a partial numerical advantage, the Soviet Air Force, which came to the battlefield to provide cover, dispatched three fighter groups and one bomber group. Relying on the absolute number of fighter jets, it threatens the Chinese Air Force that may launch attacks on itself.
It did not surprise the Soviets, facing the absolute numerical advantage of more than a hundred fighter jets. A whole morning. Not a single IDF fighter plane dared to invade the battlefield.
However, just after noon, a fighter group of the National Defense Force responsible for luring the enemy unexpectedly appeared on the edge of the battlefield.
In the eyes of Soviet pilots who have new fighter planes, the same number of Wehrmacht aircraft is a piece of cake, not to mention that they only have one-third of their own Wehrmacht fighter jets.
Therefore, as soon as the First Fighter Group of the Second Air Division appeared on the battlefield, a group of Soviet fighter jets broke away from the formation. Fly towards the direction of the first brigade of the Second Air Division.
After a round of firefight, everyone suffered damage, perhaps knowing that they were outnumbered, the remaining 31 fighter jets of the First Group of the Second Air Division were like frightened birds and quickly fled towards the location of the airport.
Without the advantage of speed, this kind of escape is obviously a way to die. A sneer flashed across the corner of the Soviet commander-in-chief's lips, and he ordered his subordinates to pursue them without hesitation, intending to capture all the remaining 31 Wildcat fighter jets of the First Group.
The two fleets chasing each other are getting closer and closer, slowly shortening from two kilometers to one kilometer. Even five hundred meters when the Wildcat fighter jet escaping directly in front was about to enter its range. From the clouds directly above the airspace where the Wildcat fighter jets were located, 36 Mustang fighter jets suddenly emerged from the clouds.
Like a roaring eagle, it smashed into the Soviet aircraft group with a sharp and ear-piercing whistle.
The Soviet aircraft group had not yet reacted to the sudden change. The thirty-six Mustang fighter jets swooping down had already fired almost two hundred dense tongues of fire of varying thicknesses at them.
Violent explosions sounded in the combat airspace, and the 28 Soviet fighter planes in pursuit quickly dropped to 19. However, even so, the Soviet commander-in-chief had no intention of retreating.
Because he didn't realize it. The fighter jet that dived towards him was different from the 'Wildcat' fighter jet that had just pursued it. Of course, even if he realizes that he wants to escape, he can't escape the crazy pursuit of the Mustang fighter.
The commander-in-chief of the Soviet army must pay the price with his life for his blind self-confidence.
When the 36 Mustang fighter jets completed the first round of collision, they quickly climbed out. Turning around, turning aroundand diving towards the remaining Soviet fighter planes again at a speed of more than 700 kilometers per hour, the Soviet commander-in-chief finally roared with unwillingness on his face before he died.
"No, we were fooled This is not something we have encountered before."?The Wildcat fighter is a new fighter that the Chinese have just equipped, a new fighter that is more powerful than us"
"Boom, boom, boom" Before the roar of unwillingness could stop, a new round of violent explosions had already sounded in the combat airspace.
Facing 36 Mustang fighter jets, which were known as the "King of Air Combat in World War II," the new Soviet fighter jets had no room to fight back and were massacred in the combat airspace.
In a very hidden command post on the ground, seeing 36 Mustang fighter jets ending the battle very cleanly, without even giving the enemy time to breathe, a smile finally flashed across Li Guosheng's serious face.
Of course, among all of them, the one who was most excited and exaggerated was undoubtedly Gao Zhihang, the commander of the Air Force 2 Division who was about to take charge of these fighter jets.
Regardless of the looks his colleagues around him were looking at him, he danced and shouted: "Chief, this is really awesome. This Mustang fighter is simply specially developed for the new Soviet fighter. In front of our Mustang fighter, the new Soviet fighter I didn¡¯t even have a chance to fight back, it¡¯s amazing, it¡¯s amazing¡¡±
At this point, the excited Gao Zhihang continued to add: "Not much to say, as long as I have three hundred Mustang fighter jets in my hands, I can completely destroy all the Soviet air forces deployed on the Far East battlefield and firmly control the air superiority on the battlefield. It¡¯s in our hands.¡±
Li Guosheng nodded noncommittally and replied with a serious face: "Commander Gao, we don't have 300 fighter jets at the moment. However, there is a task that you must complete right away"
"In addition to the 36 Soviet fighter planes that we just destroyed, there are at least a hundred Soviet fighter planes in the sky above the battlefield that threaten the lives of our soldiers on the ground at any time. Since we plan to launch a counterattack against the Soviet Red Army tomorrow, there is no need to hide them. . Order the Air Force to attack immediately and wipe out all Soviet fighter planes in the sky on the battlefield. Remember, in order to keep the Mustang fighter secret for the last day, not a single Soviet fighter plane can escape the net during the battle"
