    Before Gao Zhihang, commander of the Second Air Division, a senior general of the National Defense Forces who could go down in history, entered the radar room, Gao Zhihang's excited voice came from outside the tent to the radar room.

    "We wonwe won"

    Excitedly, Gao Zhihang waved the victory news and rushed directly to Li Guosheng to report: "General, we have won" Of the more than 450 fighter jets dispatched by the Soviet Air Force in succession, none of them escaped the pursuit of the 'Mustang' fighter jets.  wipe out¡­."

    "From now on, the air supremacy over the entire battlefield has returned to the hands of our National Defense Forces"

    Hearing the word ¡®good news¡¯, Li Guosheng¡¯s face was indeed covered with excitement for the first time.  However, after seeing the specific battle results and the battle damage of the Second Air Division delivered by Gao Zhihang, Li Guosheng's excited facial expression slowly calmed down.

    Taking a deep breath of air, he asked Gao Zhihang: "We did win. However, the price we paid was also very high If the Soviet Far East Red Army had two hundred more fighter jets, the outcome of the entire air battle would be very different.  It¡¯s hard to predict¡­¡±

    ??In three consecutive air battles, especially this air battle in which six fighter groups faced five Soviet fighter groups.  Because the National Defense Forces Air Force did not have an absolute numerical advantage, if the Mustang fighter group that quickly ended the battle did not promptly deploy two squadrons for reinforcements, the six Wildcat fighter groups that participated in the battle might have been wiped out.

    In time, two squadrons of Mustang fighters sensed the battlefield and saved the situation.  More than two hundred Wildcat fighter jets participated in the battle until the end, and only 18 of them returned to the airport intact.

    The second air battle ended with an unprecedented tragic victory. In the third air battle with two 'Mustang' fighter groups, due to the numerical advantage the Soviet Air Force had at the beginning of the battle, the two 'Mustangs' who participated in the attack were  The 'Wildcat' fighter squadrons did not fare well either.

    Out of a total of 72 Wildcat fighter jets, only 15 managed to return to the airport.

    Not only that, but the two "Mustang" fighter groups that Li Guosheng had high hopes for were destroyed because they fought more with less, at the cost of 18 fighter planes.  6 fighter planes were injured and had to withdraw from the battlefield at a huge cost

    Faced with such huge battle losses, the Second Air Division, which accounts for more than half of the air power of the National Defense Forces Air Force, has become invisible and empty.

    There are less than 80 Wildcat fighter jets that can immediately take to the air for combat, and there are only the last 48 Mustang fighter jets that Li Guosheng has high hopes for.  At this moment, if the Soviet Far East Red Army still has 200 fighter jets that can be used, the remaining air combat power of the Second Air Division will also suffer a devastating blow.

    Facing the increasingly silent atmosphere in the radar room, Sun Liren of the Armored Group Army standing beside him quickly spoke to the rescue and said: "Chief Commander, you are too worried Anyway, we have won this air battle. At least the Far East Red Army has  In a short period of time, it is impossible to have the air power to compete with us"

    At this point, Sun Liren suddenly stopped, his tone changed, and he said with a look of realization: "No. Chief, I made a mistake From now on, the Soviet Far East Red Army stationed in front of us has no chance to steal from us.  Regain air supremacy. Because tonight is the end of the Soviet Far East Red Army."

    "General, the Air Force's mission has been successfully completed. I don't know when the Armored Army will attack The Armored Army has three heavy tank divisions, two medium tank divisions, and two Army helicopter squadrons. They are all ready for battle.  We can immediately launch a counterattack towards the Soviet barracks opposite"

    Li Guosheng shook his head with a wry smile and asked Sun Liren: "Commander Sun, who told you that I planned to launch an attack overnight"

    Before Sun Liren could react, Li Guosheng continued: "Don't even look at it. It will be dark in an hour at the latest. How do you plan to attack hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the dark steppes of Outer Mongolia?"  The Soviet Far East Army launched an attack."

    "You must understand that the purpose of my counterattack is to completely annihilate the Soviet Far East Red Army, not to defeat it. If you launch a counterattack against the Soviet Far East Army now, the defeated Soviet Far East Army will definitely be completely defeated under the cover of night.  On the Sino-Soviet border"

    Although I think what Li Guosheng said makes sense.  However, Sun Liren still raised his concerns.

    "But, if we don't launch an attack now, your air force will suffer huge losses. You don't have to worry that the Soviet Far East Red Army blocking us will retreat under the cover of night"

    "Retreat" Upon hearing these two words, Li Guosheng subconsciously showed a mocking smile on his face.

    Under Sun Liren's puzzled gaze, he analyzed: "Commander Sun, do you think that an army with hundreds of thousands of troops can"Retreat just to retreat Isn't Tukhachevsky worried that if he suddenly retreats without preparation, he will be attacked by our defense forces who beat him up"

    "I can say with certainty that as long as Tukhachevsky still has some military common sense and maintains a trace of sanity, he will not order the troops to retreat at this time."

    Seeing Sun Liren nodding thoughtfully, Li Guosheng continued his analysis: "Besides, even if we defeated the Soviet Far East Army in an air battle, our own air force also suffered heavy losses. There were so many Soviet ground forces in the combat airspace.  I don¡¯t believe that Tukhachevsky doesn¡¯t know about this result"

    "When our air force also suffered heavy losses, do you think Tukhachevsky would have thought that we would take the initiative to launch a counterattack against them without a strength advantage in order to end the battle as soon as possible"

    "So, the current Soviet Far East Army is a piece of meat on our chopping board and can never escape."

    Luo Zhang, who had been confronting the Soviet Far East Red Army for the longest time, suddenly said: "Chief Commander, if I were Tukhachevsky, I would not think that the National Defense Forces would take the initiative to launch a counterattack at this time. Not only that, during the air battle during the day,  , no matter how much you lose your mind, you will still have some fighters left for self-protection.¡±

    "Well said" Li Guosheng couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded.

    Seeing that everyone had gradually agreed with his point of view, Li Guosheng changed the topic and continued: "Because of this, in order to achieve the ultimate goal of annihilating the Soviet Far East Army, I have to postpone the general offensive. We will gather at dawn tomorrow  All air forces and ground forces launch a truly three-dimensional attack on the Soviet Far East Red Army, catching them off guard and annihilating them cleanly"

    Throughout the night, the three field airports located behind the battlefield of the National Defense Force did not stop.

    While countless ground crews were refueling hundreds of bombers, they finally added various bombs that had been in stock for a month to the belly of the bombers.

    When dawn arrived the next day, a total of 252 bombers from seven bomber groups were standing on both sides of the airport runway like warriors on standby.  At the same time, more than 70 Wildcat fighter jets were responsible for escorting.  They also stood out among the bombers like a flock of chickens.

    As for the killer ¡®Mustang¡¯ fighter jets in Li Guosheng¡¯s hand, they are all parked at a temporary field airport closest to the battlefield, serving as an air force reserve, ready to attack at any time to eliminate any Soviet fighter groups that may appear on the battlefield.

    In the former enemy headquarters of the National Defense Forces, except for Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng, all other commanders directly under the army were guarding their own troops.  Waiting for the final moment to arrive.

    Of course, even so, the headquarters is still busy.

    Dozens of combat staff headed by Li Shaoqing are all surrounding a huge combat sandbox, marking the latest battlefield news on the sandbox anytime and anywhere, providing Li Guosheng with the latest intelligence and issuing the latest combat orders.

    At the same time, more than a dozen radios and walkie-talkies from various combat units were lined up on the table behind Li Guosheng.  More than a dozen communications soldiers held walkie-talkie microphones with serious faces, waiting for Li Guosheng's order

    The feeling of the entire command headquarters is that it looks very busy and full of tension.  However, everyone carries out their work in an orderly and orderly manner

    Just as Li Guosheng was looking at the sand table with a calm expression, Li Shaoqing walked over quickly and reported: "At the main seat, all radio communications with all participating troops have been connected. All participating troops are ready for battle. Waiting for your order.  .¡±

    The calmness on Li Guosheng's face finally showed a hint of movement. After taking a long breath, he gave a majestic order to the communication soldiers lined up in two rows in front of him.

    ¡°Artillery group, immediately launch bombardment on the predetermined target Before I call a halt, even if all the artillery is destroyed, the artillery attack on the predetermined target cannot be stopped"

    "All bomber groups under the Air Force will take off immediately. After the first four bomber groups find the Soviet artillery group, destroy it at all costs The last three bomber groups will bomb all the suspicious targets you think within an hour.  , all bombers must drop their bombs and return. Prepare for the second liftoff"

    "Armored Army, all new divisions participating in the attack, are on standby and ready to attack"

    After the sharp and piercing whistling sound reached everyone's ears, dense artillery shells fell on the Soviet positions like rain and exploded.

    In the blink of an eye, more than 700 groups of fireballs of various sizes soared from the Soviet military camp.

    Of course, the Soviet artillery unit, which attaches great importance to artillery, is not a freeloader.  1For many months, they have not found the Wehrmacht artillery position, and they only poured artillery shells on the Wehrmacht infantry.  It was as if he had suddenly found a target to vent his grievances, and adjusted the muzzle with the fastest reaction speed in preparation for a counterattack.

    As soon as the third round of artillery shells fired by the Wehrmacht artillery cluster exploded, violent roars began to sound from the Soviet artillery positions.

    The orange-red flames spurting out from the muzzle, the thick white smoke, the dull roar are all the culprits who reveal their position.

    When the Soviet artillery, filled with all kinds of long-term plans, was in full swing preparing to fire the second round of counterattack shells, more than a hundred bombers were like eagles that found their prey, quickly rushing toward the location of the artillery cluster.

    A series of piercing whistling sounds sounded over the battlefield. A one-ton submunition bomb quickly broke away from the bomber, spinning in the air and hitting the Soviet artillery position on the ground that was completely shrouded in white smoke.

    Eight hundred meters¡­five hundred meters¡­three hundred meters¡­one hundred meters¡­

    When the submunition bomb whizzed down and was about to hit the ground, it exploded very accurately at an altitude of 100 meters above the ground and dispersed into a hundred small high-explosive bombs weighing ten kilograms.

    ¡°Subsequently, densely packed high-explosive bombs were like rain, falling on a huge area of ??more than 200 meters long and wide in the Soviet artillery position and exploding.

    Of course, this is only the beginning of the Wehrmacht¡¯s air strikes against Soviet artillery positions.

    The incessant sound of explosions has not stopped, and more and more ear-piercing whistling sounds are heard on the battlefield.

    More than a dozen bombers roaring down simultaneously dropped 20 heavy submunitions on the Soviet artillery positions on the ground.

    After the dull explosion, dense and violent explosions began to sound from the Soviet artillery position.

    In the blink of an eye, a Soviet heavy artillery division that was attacked by an air attack completely misfired.  Although more than a hundred large-caliber heavy artillery stood motionless at the gun emplacement.  No damage at all.  However, the thousands of officers and soldiers manipulating these heavy artillery seemed to have experienced a massacre, and they all fell into a pool of blood and turned into corpses.

    In order to allow the troops to seize more equipment on the battlefield and reduce war consumption as much as possible.  Although we know that cluster bombs will cause devastating blows to undefended soldiers, it is a bit inhumane.  But for the final victory.  In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Li Guosheng ruthlessly ordered the Air Force to use submunitions.

    And this resulted in the current situation of the Soviet heavy artillery division.

    In the blink of an eye, a Soviet heavy artillery division lost its combat effectiveness. This result was like a stimulant, making the pilots who had not yet participated in the attack couldn't help but become excited.

    Therefore, the large and small artillery positions that the Soviet army exposed one after another became the best hunting targets for these bombers.

    The heavily guarded general headquarters of the Soviet Red Army, when the first round of artillery shell explosions exploded in the military camp.  Tukhachevsky thought it was thunder.  However, when he realized the environment he was in, his calm face quickly turned pale, and beads of sweat began to appear on Tukhachevsky's forehead.

    "The shelling is the shelling What do the Wehrmacht want to do? We haven't taken the initiative to launch an attack yet. How dare they launch shelling on us" Tukhachevsky said with a face full of shock.  He shouted loudly to the subordinates in front of him.

    "Chief of the General Staff, judging from the density of shelling, the National Defense Forces have used at least five heavy artillery divisions. All their artillery units No, the National Defense Forces must want to take advantage of our loss of air superiority to launch a counterattack against us"  The moment Chief of Staff of the Far East Military Region Ushur's face suddenly changed, he replied with a look of horror.

    "Counterattack" Tukhachevsky frowned and couldn't help but exclaimed.

    Chief of Staff Ushur¡¯s answer would have been last night.  Tukhachevsky might still believe it.  Because, last night, when the morale of the Far Eastern Army was at its lowest, coupled with the defeat of the Air Force, almost all the fighter jets that could fight were lost.  If the Wehrmacht uses air superiority to launch a counterattack against itself at that time, even if it has hundreds of thousands of Red Army elites, it will not be able to stop the joint attack of the Wehrmacht air force and the armored forces that have not yet really shown up.

    So, the news of the air force battle report reached Tukhachevsky¡¯s ears.  Terrified, he subconsciously ordered the entire Soviet Far East Army to enter combat mode.  Block a possible counterattack by the Wehrmacht at all costs.

    However, as time passed and the National Defense Forces, which were only a few kilometers away from the Far Eastern Army, showed no signs of counterattack, Tukhachevsky's worries gradually began to weaken.

    Feeling much more relaxed, he subconsciously thought that the National Defense Force, which he had consumed for a month, no longer had a strong strength of one thousand.  Even if it regains control of the air on the battlefield, it will not have the strength to launch a counterattack against itself.

    Because of this, it doesn¡¯t matter anymoreTukhachevsky directly ordered the troops to relax their vigilance.  Wait until dawn tomorrow, ask for help from Moscow as quickly as possible, obtain new air power, and then compete with the National Defense Forces Air Force to regain battlefield air supremacy.

    Seeing the doubtful expression on Tukhachevsky¡¯s face, Ushur did not give up the idea of ??¡®counterattack¡¯.

    "Comrade Chief of General Staff, the National Defense Forces have even used their own artillery units. If they hadn't launched a counterattack against us, I really can't think of the specific purpose of this artillery attack by the National Defense Forces"

    "Nothing goes wrong, as long as our artillery group counterattacks and exposes its position. The National Defense Forces Air Force, which has temporarily gained air supremacy on the battlefield, will definitely pounce on our artillery position, destroy it, and clear the way for their upcoming counterattack."

    When Ushur wanted to continue saying something, a liaison staff officer rushed over with a look of horror on his face and loudly reported: "Report to the chief Artillery, our artillery position was attacked by the National Defense Forces Air Force First of all  The 3rd and 4th heavy artillery divisions under attack have lost contact one after another"

    "How could this happen Since we were going to launch a counterattack, why didn't the Wehrmacht launch a counterattack against us last night, but had to wait until this morning" Tukhachevsky, who still had the last glimmer of hope, asked aloud the question in his heart.

    Ushur couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face, and replied to Tukhachevsky: "Chief of the General Staff, the conclusion that the Wehrmacht is about to launch a counterattack against us has been confirmed. As for why the Wehrmacht didn't launch a counterattack against us last night,  If I guess correctly, the National Defense Forces want to make better use of their aerial bombers"

    By this time, Tukhachevsky¡¯s last hope was finally shattered.

    After slamming his clenched fist on the desk in front of him, as if he had suffered great humiliation, the ferocious-looking Tukhachevsky roared loudly with a murderous look on his face: "Asshole, cunning Chinese,  The cunning Chinese National Defense Force dared to take the initiative to launch an attack on the great Soviet Red Army. Very good Although we have lost air supremacy, the Red Army warriors without air supremacy are invincible. I will definitely defeat you"
