Chapter 300: Air Battle in Kyakta (Great Air Battle Part 2)
,
spn, the combat center located at Kulen Air Force Base, is the frontline point of the National Defense Forces Air Force's operations against the Soviet Union in the direction of Siberia. Air Force Deputy Commander Liu Yazhou is discussing the recent enemy situation with Air Force Chief of Staff Ruan Bingying.
"Lao Ruan, do you still remember the air battle we had with Zhui Ren in the Northeast?"
Liu Yazhou was holding an old tea vat in his hand. There was a large red mottled five-star on the outer wall of the tea vat. Due to long-term use, the red waves had been worn away, making the five stars look a bit mottled.
There is a small text below the red five-star. If you look closely, you can still see that it is "In memory of the Japanese Air War in 2016."
"Of course I remember that it was the first major air battle of our Republic. The Japs counterattacked on the verge of death, but the planes were too backward. The Japs who were forced to a dead end even flew a double-winged wooden plane in an attempt to resist to the end. As a result,
Our final result was extremely brilliant. We shot down nearly ten times as many Japanese planes at the cost of less than twenty planes.[
Back then, you were still working as the deputy chief of staff of the Air Force, and I was still a staff officer to a senior colonel, haha."
Ruan Bingying looked down at his new teapot and sighed, "What a pity. My mother-in-law moved away and lost the teacup I had. Oh, what a pity."
"You, when the Second World War is over, get a commemorative cup and keep it well so that you can use it for your grandson's lifetime." Liu Yazhou teased with a smile.
"Seriously, Lao Liu, this time the Soviets have deployed so many advanced fighters from the Moscow theater, and even the Americans may intervene. What are you thinking?" Ruan Bingying asked.
Liu Yazhou: "What else can you think? The Chairman of the Generalissimo called me personally, which shows that the base camp attaches great importance to this air battle. The war has just begun. In order for the next battle to go more smoothly, it is natural to have a battle to decide the outcome."
At least the Soviet air force must be driven to the north of Lake Baiga."
"Lake Baikal is still not as nice as its original name, Beihai." Ruan Bingying is not very old. He was a general in the southwest period and is now only in his early forties. His military career has delayed starting a family, and now he has a little boy at home.
I just went to middle school" "I
The little bastard at home asked me where I was going before I left. The old man told him that this trip was to Beihai. When the old men brought Beihai back, it would be the inner lake for the children from now on.
"It's their holy place for summer vacation, and it's the big lake where they go fishing."
When Liu Yazhou heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly lost in thought. He looked at the fighter planes that were taking off and landing one after another outside, and also said: "Yes, Beihai, what a nice name. Su Wu shepherds sheep, and Beihai Lake sings with poles and sticks. It's a pity" for thousands of years.
, it’s all ‘Mao’ son’s territory.”
"Come on, there have been a lot of small-scale air battles recently. In order to confuse the Soviets, we all use second-generation aircraft to fight." Although the results and casualties were not large, we successfully "confused" them.
They, the cautious Soviets, should have tested enough. I estimate it will be half a month at the latest."
A large-scale air battle no less powerful than that over Great Britain is about to break out." Ruan Bingying said with certainty.
"I hope this air battle can get off to a good start and that we can have an advantage in the decisive battle in the future."
At the just-concluded war situation discussion, the commanders and fighters involved in the air war against the Soviet Union gathered to listen to the latest actions of the Soviets in the skies over Siberia.
Although the Soviets secretly concentrated more than 1,000 new aircraft and nearly 2,000 old-fashioned aircraft, their actions over Siberia were very conservative. Except when the Chinese fleet attacked the Soviet army or Soviet cities, the Soviets would fight to the death.
During the daily routine bombing of the Chinese ** team, they were all on the move.
In order to cope with the big air war that is destined to break out, the Chinese National Defense Force not only built radar stations on the occupied land, but also built wild combat airports near many small and medium-sized cities such as Kyaktu. There are more than a dozen airports on the front line, which can be used in total.
The number of aircraft reached 2,500, including more than 2,000 fighter jets.
In terms of quantity, they are slightly worse than the Soviets for the time being, but in terms of quality, even the Lachi 5 and La 7, which the Soviets have just equipped their troops with less than a year ago, are at a disadvantage when facing the J-2 fighter jets of the Wehrmacht.
"Woo woo woo"..."
Suddenly, the battle alarm sounded again, and a staff officer quickly ran to Liu Yazhou and Ruan Bingying and reported, "Deputy Commander, Chief of Staff, three minutes ago we received enemy information from the Kyaktu front line. The radar found that there were about
300 Soviet aircraft are flying towards Chak Circle, about 200 fighter planes and more than 100 bombers.
Kyaktu Airport has scrambled the downed plane and called for support."
"Order the 144th and 145th Fighter Groups stationed at 030 Airport, the 145th and 147th Fighter Groups at 04th Airport, and the 148th and 149th Fighter Groups at 07th Airport to immediately take off for combat. Li Chen, commander of the 13th Aviation Division, is in charge of the operation. They must resolutely shoot down the invading Soviet aircraft to ensure the correct
Ketu’s safety.”
Liu Yazhou and Liu Yazhou exchanged opinions for a while in front of the combat map, and Liu Yazhou quickly issued the order. This time, instead of using the fleet of Kulun Air Force Base, they used the first aircraft deployed at several wild combat airfields near Kyaktu.
Air division.[
The latest establishment of the National Defense Forces Air Force, aviation divisions are divided into fighter divisions, bomber divisions, and attack pilot divisions. One division has six aviation regiments, and the number of aircraft in the entire division is between four and three. The three major types of aviation divisions, the number of aircraft
There is a big difference.
The moment they heard hundreds of incoming Soviet planes, neither Liu Yazhou nor Ruan Bingying felt any fear. Instead, they trembled in their hearts and realized that the appetizer was coming.
There are more than 300 planes, which is not a lot, but if they were shot down and reduced to eight or eight, the Soviets would also feel pain.
"Division Commander, Deputy Commander Liu's order."
At an airport near Qia Ke Yuan, Li Chen, commander of the 13th Fighter Aviation Division, who had already ordered the pilots to be in position and ready to take off at any time, finally received Liu Yazhou's order to attack.
After checking the order, Li Chen loudly ordered, "The 13th Fighter Aviation Division, immediately take off for combat. The target is to invade the Soviet Air Force in Kyakhta.
Brothers, this time you don’t need to tiptoe, just hit hard."
After saying that, he picked up his pilot's helmet and rushed to the tarmac impatiently. "Although the modified two-seater J-3 fighter he was riding was not in the first batch of take-off sequence, he still boarded the plane early and cooperated with the front cabin
The pilot prepares for takeoff.
After years of training, and even more so during wartime, after Li Chen's fighter jet took off, the aircraft at several wild combat airports were basically completed, and a large aircraft fleet composed of aircrafts had basically taken shape. The aircraft fleet had basically taken shape.
Although it is a large formation, it is still composed of several
The formation consists of five aircraft, two groups of wingmen, and one squadron leader aircraft. During some piecemeal work in the front, the pilots discovered that "due to the gap in aircraft performance, this kind of combat team composed of five aircraft of the J-2 and J-3
, can pose a great threat to the Soviet Air Force.
Good maneuverability, fast climb, outstanding speed, excellent hovering ability, and powerful firepower. A five-plane formation can often shoot down twice or even more Soviet planes.
The Soviet aircraft "sneaked into the firepower network composed of such a five-plane formation, and were often unable to fight back. If a large group of aircraft tried to surround the Chinese aircraft, the Chinese fighter jets would quickly climb high and break away from the battle."
Then use the advantageous altitude to dive downwards to look for fighters.
The J-Fighter Li Chen was in was located in the middle and rear of the fleet. Not far from him was an airborne radar early warning aircraft temporarily issued by the 13th Aviation Division.
"Radar early warning aircraft pay attention to the location, altitude, speed and number of enemy aircraft, and report immediately if found." Li Chen methodically handled the air command affairs of the fleet operations, switching command channels from time to time, and skillfully commanded this huge fighter jet.
The division is ready for battle.
Due to the rush, "the warning time of the radar station was limited, the fleet did not even have time to take a full rest and climb to the advantageous altitude." Li Chen assessed the situation and hurriedly ordered some of the fastest aircraft on the edge and front of the fleet to climb quickly to seize the advantageous altitude for air combat.
The remaining four or so planes gradually dispersed and flew in the direction of the Soviet invasion in a scattered group that filled the sky. The remaining planes flew forward and level at a height that few Soviet aircraft could occupy.
"Enemy planes were found, numbering more than fifty. They could not be accurately identified. They were 15 kilometers away, 4,200 meters high, and traveling at over 400 kilometers. They were approaching quickly."
The news that Li Chen was most looking forward to came from the radar early warning aircraft channel.
"Very good, prepare for combat. The First Regiment mainly attacks the enemy's bombers and attack aircraft. The other aircraft groups are considered as combat units in squadrons and squadrons. They are free to engage with the enemy and look for fighter planes. Don't let the Soviets go. Give me a hard blow this time.
beat."
Li Chen loudly ordered that since the ground troops of the National Defense Forces were fighting in the area between Kyakhta and Cholan-Gyode, as a material turnover station and a new air force garrison, Kyakhta was increasingly becoming a thorn in the side of the Soviets.
After dispatching a small fleet of aircraft and sneaking in, they found that they could not escape the Chinese reconnaissance no matter what, so they dispatched today's medium-sized fleet in an attempt to catch the Chinese off guard.
Li Chen knew very well that for his own side to have an advantage, it was very important to have advanced radar. The fact that China has advanced radar has been known to other countries for a long time, but China, a dictatorial country, has done a good job of keeping it secret.
Very good, even now, perhaps until the news of the failed air raid and early discovery by China is sent back, the Soviets can confirm that China has deployed advanced radars on the front line, just like the British deployed radars on small satellites in the English Channel.
Just like the island, the British discovered it as soon as the Germans took off.
At the same time, the Soviets, who did not have radar, were still flying towards Kyaktu according to their established plan, blocking the ground.
When the fighter pilot at the front saw the first Chinese plane emerging from the clouds with his naked eyes, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "We found a Chinese plane." [
However, the next moment, just as he had just thrown away the auxiliary fuel tank and was about to rush up with the maximum horsepower of the aircraft, he saw the second one, and the third one: "No, two, three, four...", and the next moment
, this young Soviet pilot saw a steady stream of Chinese fighter jets emerging from the sea of clouds, like sharks smelling blood, rushing into the Soviet fleet.
The constant flashing of cannons and the firing of aircraft guns like stretched light whips suddenly shattered the Soviet Union's dream of sneak attack on the fleet.
Many pilots still didn't understand why the Chinese responded so quickly, but the next moment, they had no time to think about it, because the Chinese fighter jets were taking the opportunity to severely beat the Soviet bomber team.
As soon as they met, bombers one after another were turned into fireballs by the powerful cannons of Chinese fighter jets and exploded in the air.
"For the sake of the Bolsheviks and the great Soviet Union, let us fight imperialist China without fear of sacrifice."
After the Soviet aircraft group commander finished shouting on the communication channel, he also flew the plane to greet the Chinese fighter group.
