spn mongolia, kulun military airport.

There are two airports in Kulun, one is Kulun People's Airport and the other is Kulun Military Airport. Because of Mongolia's important national defense location, Kulun Military Airport is a very important air force base and is a first-class air force base, second only to the special-level air force base.

In addition to an airport with three Class-A runways, the entire air force base also has a complete Class-A aircraft maintenance center to ensure timely maintenance and parts replacement of damaged fighter aircraft during wartime, and a large-capacity combat readiness oil depot.

It ensures that it can provide continuous combat fuel for more than 300 aircraft of various types at the airport during wartime. In addition, it has a medium-range early warning radar base station, garrison troops of up to an independent mechanized infantry regiment, and powerful air defense facilities.

defense force.

In terms of quantity, more than 300 fighter planes of various types are not huge. At least compared with the major frontline airports in the Soviet Siberian Military District opposite, they are still at a relative disadvantage. For example, the Soviets have as many as 300 aircraft at the Kyakhta Military Airport.

More than 200 aircraft.

Because current aircraft from all countries have a very serious problem. The range is short. Although the auxiliary fuel tank can increase the range, it also reduces the amount. As a result, Bolsheviks like the Soviet Union, who are full of aggressive ideas, always like to use auxiliary fuel tanks.

Their aircraft are arranged very far forward, which ensures that frontline airports can smoothly cross the border during wartime and carry out devastating blows to the enemy.[

Although Kyakhta now belongs to the Soviet Union, it was once Chinese territory. It was built as a fortress by Tsarist Russia in 1727. In June of the following year, China and Russia signed the "Kyakhta Treaty" here. From then on, Kyakhta and China

The blood relationship is broken.

As a traditional military location and a base for Soviet Russia's military advance against China, Kyakhta's military strength is not as strong as that of the Soviet Red Army in Europe, but it is still relatively powerful.

It's just that this strength is not reflected by elites, but by numbers.

The Bolsheviks called on everyone to join the army to defend the Soviet Union. Especially after the start of the World War, more and more Siberian farmers came out of the collective farms. Some even picked up a rifle and formed a very large Siberian Legion.

. And more elite Soviet Red Army troops were transferred to Europe, where war was raging. Compared to the Germans, they looked down upon the Chinese. Compared to Europe and even the Balkans, they believed that the Soviet Union

The appeal is also greater.

Of course, this does not mean that Siberia, the new energy powerhouse of the Soviet Union, has become an empty frame. On the contrary, its power is still very powerful. Otherwise, China would not be wary of this polar bear charging from Siberia day and night.

When Zhang Shusheng formulated the defense policy against the Soviet Union, Mongolia was the most important point.

Whether now or in future generations, the Soviets are powerful. Their armored groups can even rush to Beijing and Tianjin in the shortest time. Otherwise, China in future generations will not deploy on the Sino-Soviet border when Sino-Soviet relations are extremely tense.

Millions of troops.

Therefore, the Republic now also has hundreds of thousands of troops stationed on the entire Sino-Soviet border, and as a second-line echelon, such as the First Division of the Second Armored Army stationed in Suiyuan, there are even more troops that can be pulled up at any time. From beginning to end, Zhang Shusheng

Although he was full of desire and ambition for the Soviet Union, he did not dare to lower his guard against Stalin. Instead of eating the bear's paw, Zhang Shusheng absolutely did not want it to happen.

"Do the meteorologists have any results? When will this snow fall?"

Commander of Cullen Air Force Base, Air Force Major General Fan Chaoping was pacing back and forth restlessly in the base operations room. The concrete floor was almost scratched by the steps, and the snowflakes were still flying outside, making his fists clenched.

, when he heard the footsteps behind him, he knew that Liu Chengwei, the base's chief of operations staff, was coming.

"I just called to urge them. They said they would report as soon as there are signs of improvement in the weather. According to the analysis half an hour ago, the snow will not stop until about two o'clock in the afternoon."

Air Force Major Liu Chengwei, the Chief of Operations Staff of the base that had just entered, opened the document that he had already memorized by heart and said, "General, I just observed it carefully and communicated with the pilots. The snow is not heavy anymore.

Regardless of the objections of the meteorological officers, they are confident of taking off. Although there will be certain risks, they are very sure of success. Judging from the weather conditions summarized in the entire Outer Mongolia region, the wind and snow further north of Kulun are also decreasing, and some

Elite pilots can take off and perform missions."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Fan Chaoping opened the glass in front of him, leaned out almost his whole body, looked at the sky, then looked at the airport runway in the distance, and asked, "The snow is indeed much lighter than before. What is the condition of the airport runway?"

How about it?"

"General, according to the standard configuration of our People's Army Northland Airport, there are a lot of snow melting agents and snow plows. There are four runways. If we concentrate our manpower, we can ensure that one or two runways will meet the take-off conditions in ten minutes."

Liu Chengwei analyzed quickly based on his military experience.

"Very good. Now on the Khudairi front line, we have been engaged in fierce exchanges of fire with the Soviet Union. Although the scale of the battle is still limited to the infantry level, no one can guarantee that tanks will not appear in the future. Our tanks will go north from Kulun.

For more than two hours, these two hours, we can only rely on our air force to provide strong air support." Fan Chaoping said earnestly, "The chairman asked us to overcome all difficulties and support the infantry fighting. This is the existence of the air force.

One of the values.”

Liu Chengwei nodded. Of course, he, the Chief of Operations Staff, knew this best, even better than the commander. After thinking about it for a while, he came up with a simple plan, "General, we can select 20 super pilots from among them."

A pilot is responsible for frontline reconnaissance and fire support missions. As for the aircraft model, choose the J-3 fighter jet and H-3 bomber that have recently arrived at the base. Both are new fighters with semi-metal frames, which are better than the J-1 and J-2.

The combat performance of the first-generation fighter aircraft in harsh weather has been greatly improved compared to the previous two generations of aircraft. The H-3 bomber, although it is a medium bomber, has a comprehensive comparison of its ability to adapt to severe weather and its range.

They are also the most suitable.”

The Kulun Air Force Base is about 150 kilometers away from the Sino-Soviet border. The reason why they did not deploy aircraft on the front line as crazy as the Soviets did is because Chinese fighter jets are generally one to two levels more advanced than Soviet fighter jets in terms of combat range.

It's also much farther. And this advantage will be expanded after the Type III fighters are widely put into service.

The Soviet Red Army Air Force, which neither had enough foresight nor experienced actual combat, blindly pursued quantity and updated aircraft models too slowly.[

In Zhang Shusheng's view, the Soviets may not understand until the full-scale Soviet-German war breaks out, and all the densely packed airports and tank clusters on the front line are blown to pieces by German aircraft. As for China, the Soviets are even more

It's a lack of sufficient understanding.

It is impossible for Stalin, who is nearly ten thousand miles away, to be wary of China, the new capitalist country in Asia. In the eyes of this 'great' Bolshevik leader, there are currently only Germans, British and

The French were the only ones worthy of being the Soviet Union's opponents. Of course, in his opinion, they were all vulnerable to the offensive of the loyal and brave Soviet Red Army.

Fan Chaoping thought about it briefly and was very satisfied with the plan given by the Chief of Operations Staff. As the base commander, he also dealt with these aircraft all day long and was very clear about their "performance".

"Just follow this plan and implement it immediately."

"Woooooooo..."

Following Fan Chaoping's order, a fierce combat siren sounded at the Cullen Air Force Base. The pilots who had been waiting in the dormitory for a long time suddenly became excited, but from time to time they received new orders. Only the twenty most elite ones, usually

Only the pilot with the highest comprehensive assessment score received the sortie order.

On the airport runway, Runway 1 and Runway 2, there were originally several snowplows clearing snow. This multi-functional snowplow is one of the standard equipment of the Northern Air Force Base. It clears it continuously, which is helpful to prevent

The runway is heavily icy.

Then the combat siren sounded, with more than a dozen snowplows in front, and two companies of garrison troops running towards the runway, braving the wind and snow that was already getting smaller, everyone holding shovels and brooms.

As for the sturdy hangar group on one side of the airport, the doors of the latest numbered hangars No. 13, No. 14, and No. 15 are also slowly opening. The aircraft tractor immediately drives forward and pulls the aircraft out, and more

Mechanics and airport soldiers stepped forward and took the plane out of the hangar.

The entire airport has entered into a tense pre-war dispatch procedure. Twenty-meter-high pilots in neat uniforms are also standing there in formation. The snow is getting lighter, but what awaits them is still taking off in the snow and rushing to the front line of Hudaili to provide support.

The battle there. And in this relatively bad weather, their opponents were still holding their hands and watching the snow in the airport dormitory.

More than 80 kilometers north of Cullen, on the vast grassland covered with white snow, a long dragon-like convoy was advancing rapidly.

"Clang"

The roof of the tank was opened from the inside, and the first thing "revealed" was a military cap with a general's cap badge, followed by a major general's epaulette with a gold star, and an armored major general leaned out of the tank.

He looked over at the improving weather. Although there was still some drifting snow, it did not affect the advance of the 11th Mechanized Infantry Division.

This person was Major General Rao Guohua, commander of the 11th Mechanized Infantry Division who was ordered to lead his troops into Selenge City. The mechanized infantry division he led had 51 Tiger-1 tanks after they were transferred to training and militia units.

The other configurations of the Tiger 2 tank are basically trucks, military trailer motorcycles, and a small number of armored reconnaissance vehicles. Although it is not currently equipped with the self-propelled anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns that the three armored corps are gradually deploying, they are also equipped with

The truck-mounted, high-altitude artillery system has a certain air defense capability.

Rao Guohua got back into the tank, closed the roof, and said to the signal soldier next to him, "Report the current position of our army to Commander Xu. It is expected to arrive in Selenge City in an hour. Our army will invest sufficient armored forces according to the situation to counterattack.

Soviet Army, let the brother troops hold on a little longer."

Although Xu Shuzheng and Rao Guohua are generals who were born and raised in the Southwest and grew up in the Southwest Army in their early years, they still admire this veteran who once conquered Outer Mongolia. Although they both have the rank of general, their gold content is completely different.

. Xu Shuzheng was one of the major generals awarded the title at the founding of the People's Republic of China, while Rao Guohua and Cullen's air force commander were all awarded the title later. Perhaps Xu Shuzheng can be promoted to lieutenant general as soon as the war starts, but they still need to accumulate a lot

Only through military exploits can one prove oneself.

Soldiers are warlike. In addition to their sense of responsibility and mission, they also have a natural sense of honor that belongs to soldiers. They can not only defend their home and country, kill enemies on horseback, but also be promoted to generals and honor their ancestors. It is the best of both worlds.

As the most elite and most targeted mechanized infantry division in Mongolia, Rao Guohua is very clear about his mission, and he also knows that the military put him here for one reason: to fight against the Soviet Red Army.

A war starts on the border without devastating the country. This kind of war is what soldiers yearn for most. If you have the ability, if you fight it, you will know who is superior and who is inferior. In Rao Guohua's view, this is to prove himself and prove the 11th

value of the division, and strive to transform this semi-tank division into a real armored division in the future.

Hudaili River Post, 12 noon.

"Comrade Political Commissar, the battle is going on very fiercely, and our army cannot break through the Chinese positions for the time being."[

Behind the hillside in the direction of the Soviet Union, the company instructor who first led the team to hunt down the two Red Army traitors was reporting to the political commissar of the regiment who had just arrived with the team.

This regiment belongs to the 241st Division of the Third Army of the West Siberian Military District, and is the designation of the third regiment.

In order to implement Comrade Stalin's will and execute the Mongolian plan of the Soviet high-level, Comrade Milelev, the political commissar of the regiment, abandoned the main force of the regiment, which was dragged halfway due to engine failure of a large number of trucks, and led a battalion to ride on the remaining trucks.

Rush to the front line of the Hudaili River.

In fact, Milelev was not originally here to support, but to take credit, because when he heard that on the Soviet side of the Khudali River, after the action troops exchanged fire with China, a battalion that happened to be nearby was ordered to provide support.

He rushed over with his troops impatiently.

A battalion plus a platoon of the Soviet Red Army would be able to rush into Chinese territory in just a few minutes. If I were any slower, like that damn regiment commander from Belarus, I would not get the credit for this achievement.

However, when he came to the front line of the Hudaili River, what he saw made him so angry that he almost pulled out a gun and shot the grassroots instructor. Of course, after he saw a battalion he brought, he changed this

Thoughts, and even grateful to the company instructor who overstepped his authority.
