spn Northeast, Yichun Yichun is located in the upper right corner of the Northeast. The air distance from Heihe is less than 200 kilometers, which means that it is only more than 200 kilometers from Hailanpao, the central city of the newly occupied area in the Far East. Due to its geographical location in the north and south

It can take care of both, and it is located behind the powerful radar network on the northeastern border, so it has become the main frontline of the Air Force.

After the National Defense Force established the Far Eastern Front and launched attacks on Hailanpao and other Far Eastern regions, Yichun became the air force command center of the Far Eastern Front, also known as the Air Force Far East Theater. During the war, Yichun became one of the eight air force theaters of the Republic.

All air forces assigned to the northern and eastern parts of Northeast China and assigned to the Far Eastern Front are commanded by the Air Force Far Eastern Theater Command of the National Defense Forces located in Yichun.

The first commander was Air Force Lieutenant General Ni Nan, who is currently the commander of the Northeast Theater Command of the National Defense Forces Air Force.

Mainly due to the increasingly tense situation in the Greater Far East Theater, Ni Nan has been studying the operations of the Japanese Air Force for a long time and is familiar with the equipment and tactics of the Japanese Air Force. There is also a temporary lack of an air force to command operations, so he was transferred to the Northeast Theater Commander.

, Fan Chaoping, former deputy commander-in-chief of the Siberian Air Force and commander of Kulun Air Force Base, was transferred to the Far East Theater Air Force Commander.[

Yichun, Far East Theater Air Force Command Center, brightly lit underground operations, inside the command room, a large number of Air Force staff and combat personnel are busy nervously.

Commander-in-chief Fan Chaoping, who had just been promoted to lieutenant general, was standing in front of an old-10,000-scale map table, discussing the entire air combat situation with Major General Guiping, chief of staff of the Air Force's Far East Theater.

"Commander, this plan is small. Although the task of fighting for air supremacy is very heavy, as long as we follow the air strike plan jointly formulated by the Air Force General Staff and us, there will be no problem in completing the mission. If the plan is implemented in place, we will

It will be able to occupy the air superiority over the Yuanji theater for a long period of time and provide strong air support for ground wars."

Major General Guiping was talking about the part of the plan that the Air Force needed to implement after the Butcher Plan began. The ground forces of the United States, Japan and the Soviet Union were undoubtedly huge in number, and air superiority became very important.

On the map, "half of the Northeast is framed in a red circle, including Harbin, Suihua,

Jiamusi, Hegang, Shuangyashan, Qitaihe and other places are all included in this power distribution map. Further forward, there are several field airports represented by Hailanpao Airport. After all, they are too close to the war zone and the number of aircraft

They are few, small in scale, and have poor anti-air attack capabilities. The strength of the entire Air Force Far East Theater is more than 1,500 fighter jets and nearly a thousand bombers. 90% of the air force in the entire theater is concentrated at these airports in the Northeast.

The two theaters of the Air Force, the Far East Theater and the Northeast Theater, formed the main force in the air confrontation with Japan in the northeast direction. The total number of aircraft reached 4,000, including nearly 2,500 fighter jets and nearly 1,500 bombers.

From a proportional point of view, after strengthening, the strength of the two theaters accounts for more than one-third of the Republic's air force. The air force of the Siberian Theater, which follows closely behind, is far inferior to these two theaters.

From a strategic arrangement point of view, the two theaters will be responsible for the entire Far East theater and even any air provocations from Japan and North Korea.

Fan Chaoping's eyes changed from time to time among the several air force bases on the map, and he said, "Unfortunately, the Far East is not Siberia. It is difficult to launch a large-scale air battle with absolute advantage. The Soviet Union is weak and desperate, and Japan is too far away from the Far East."

It's close. Once an extremely large-scale air battle begins, it will only be possible in the end.

In order to fuel the war, it evolved into a large-scale and protracted air battle that spread to the Far East, Northeast and Korea, just like the cross-sea air battle between Britain and Germany." "Yes, China and Japan are too close, [Japan] Japan

We also have an air force that is not weak. If we meet head-on, it is likely to turn into a protracted battle for air supremacy."

Major General Guiping held his baton and drew a big circle on the Far East Theater and said, "The air force plan part of the Butcher Plan" is tantamount to a serial plan.

The first stage is to concentrate forces. Taking advantage of the fact that the United States, Japan and the Soviet Union have not yet reached a safe agreement, the Soviet air power is at its weakest and Japan is unable to launch support immediately, focus on clearing the Soviet forward airfields and destroying some key rear airfields.

, to provide air conditions for the armored corps of the main force to advance.

In the second stage, after the Soviet air power suffered heavy losses, it could only ask Japan for help, or join forces with the United States to put pressure on Japan. At this stage, Japan would send troops to help.

At this time, once a considerable number of Japanese troops are skillfully mobilized, we can then concentrate our forces and use the strategy of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao, and in turn bomb the Japanese airports, destroying the Japanese air combat strength to the greatest extent at the minimum cost. As long as we can

If we have a considerable advantage, we can concentrate our forces to carry out high-intensity bombing against the stronger Japanese army, and move the air battle battlefield to the skies over North Korea or the skies over Japan's own sea."

"Well, every link of the entire plan must be executed carefully. Otherwise, if there is a problem in one link, there may be problems in the whole chain." Fan Chaoping frowned slightly and said slightly worriedly. It was not because he was not brave enough, but mainly because of his lack of courage.

Thinking of the millions of enemy troops in the Far East Theater, if the Wehrmacht Air Force cannot gain air supremacy despite receiving strong support from jet fighters, this war will most likely turn into a mess.

Although he is an Air Force general, he also knows that once the war enters a quagmire, the meat grinder model that Japan and the Soviet Union once had in Komsomolsk may also be played out between the four countries of China, the United States, Japan and the Soviet Union. Today, the coordination between the United States, Japan and the Soviet Union is not in place.

, in the absence of any preparation for joint operations, only by taking action first can we gain the upper hand.

Moreover, time is still very tight. There is only a little time left for the main force to launch an attack. To be precise, it will be less than a week. If within this time, the Air Force can gain at least a partial advantage, the next air battle will only be between the Army and the Army.

The heads of the troops unfolded simultaneously.

While the two were chatting, a direct call to the headquarters was received.

"Yes, Commander Huo!"[

After a few short words, Lieutenant General Fan Chaoping put down the phone and said to Guiping, the chief of staff of the theater, "Commander Huo is going to hold a pre-war general coordination meeting. He named me to attend and left overnight. Regarding the air combat, you have to do it."

Seize it, the previous operations must be carried out on time and as planned." "Yes, Commander Fan." Major General Guiping said confidently, pilots are not the only ones who are eager to fight." As a staff officer at the rear, he is also very eager to fight.

powerful.

At present, the "entire Far East Theater" is nothing more than Hailanpao and other airports taking off small-scale aircraft formations from time to time to destroy or expel Japanese and Soviet fighters or reconnaissance aircraft that cross the actual control line.

Before the actual operation begins and the scale of the air battle suddenly expands, this experimental small-scale air battle is like scratching an itch.

On September 9, 1945, the night of the Far Eastern Front's pre-war general mobilization meeting and the Army and Air Force coordinated operations meeting, Heihe Airport, Hailanpao Airport, "Biewu Airport, Xunke Airport" and multiple field airports received combat orders and were to be launched at

At dawn the next day, more than 300 J-2 fighter jets and J-1 fighter jets took off, accompanied by more than 50 H-2 and H-3 bombers.

Over the junction of the Northeast and the Far East, three Sky Falcon-3 early warning aircraft flew towards the Far East occupied by China at an altitude of 8,000 meters. The Sky Falcon-3 early warning aircraft approached the maximum warning range of two hundred kilometers.

The surveillance range (using some advanced equipment to improve the detection range of the radar) will effectively monitor the skies over the Far East theater. And with its maximum altitude of 13,000 meters, it can also ensure safety.

It can be said that the early warning aircraft is a super equipment on the same level as the Tianlong jet fighter and the T-40 Wrath of God strategic bomber in the current equipment system of the Chinese Air Force. All countries are still under development, and the fastest Americans are not.

Under the stimulation of China, a practical early warning aircraft has just been tested.

At 5:30 in the morning, the clouds above Heihe Airport revealed a faint fish-belly white color. In about thirty minutes, it will be slightly light. A considerable number of specially trained air force pilots of the National Defense Force have low-light conditions.

Lower takeoff and flight capabilities.

Heihe Military Airport is sandwiched between two large mountains. Since it is a front-line airport, the hangar is directly dug into a cave. During wartime, the aircraft in the hangar can be taken off for combat. There are densely packed aircraft on both sides of the mountain.

Anti-aircraft weapons, all new or relatively new anti-aircraft guns and the latest Ripper anti-aircraft machine guns, provide protection for this field airport in the mountain depression.

"Woo...according to the planned plan, reserve the formation and take action immediately."

At exactly 5:30, when several short action whistles sounded, the pilots who had been waiting beside the fighter planes on the airport runway immediately jumped on the plane. The planes that had just been inspected and were ready to take off at any time began to take off in an orderly manner.

The rest of the aircraft are also being taken out of the cave hangar.

The first squadron to take off was the 054 Fighter Squadron led by Air Force Major Ou Hua.

"The most anticipated departure at dawn." Looking at the increasingly bright morning light on the horizon, Ouhua, who was piloting a J-3 Gunniu fighter jet, decisively pulled up the plane after the plane had sufficient gliding distance.

Facing the morning light, the plane rose.

At the moment when he was adjusting after pulling up, Ouhua subconsciously glanced in the direction of the airport. That was his wingman Huang Pingke.

"It's a pity that I can't fight in the air with the boy captain."

Ou Hua was very emotional when the war against Japan started again after so many years.

Ten years ago, he was just an ordinary pilot on the battlefield against Japan in Jinzhou and the wingman of squad leader Tong Tianming. Now, Tong Tianming has become the commander of a certain division of the Air Force and was transferred to the southern battlefield to participate in the war. Hua Zi back then is now

He has also become a major in the Air Force, and the division commander has just approached him before the expedition. After the mission is completed, he will be promoted to the commander of the flight regiment where Lieutenant Commander 0465\\54 is located, and become a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force.

A lot can change in ten years. Ten years ago, he flew the J-2. Ten years later, he not only flew the J-3, he actually passed the flight qualification test for the TL-1 jet fighter and switched to a jet fighter in the brigade.

After flying fighter planes, he will be one of the first pilots to switch to jet fighters.

However, in the past ten years, the hatred against the Japanese has never faded away. The hatred of the whole Northeast fell and 30 million compatriots were trampled on. Starting today, the general account will be settled. Ten years ago, the unfulfilled air battle will be settled ten years later.

Move one forward.

After more than 30 minutes of flight, the sky was already bright. Flying further ahead, we would reach the former firing line area of ​​the Soviet-Japanese Far East battlefield. The regimental commander's command came from Ouhua's earphones.

"The Soviet radar has discovered us and is taking off fighter planes. The closest distance is 20 kilometers. Each formation will meet the enemy on its own and must shoot down the enemy planes as quickly as possible." Ouhua glanced at the radar screen and saw that we were in an airspace of more than 20 kilometers.

Outside, a group of enemy planes were approaching. This airspace was the combat area of ​​more than 20 J-3 Guniu fighters commanded by Ouhua.[

"We have a numerical advantage and pay attention to the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower to shoot down the enemy aircraft as quickly as possible."

Ohua contacted the bomber squadron at the rear again. There were more than a dozen bombers following him in the airspace not far behind him. The combination of a fighter squadron and a bomber squadron was one of the components of this large-scale bombing.

one.

The initial bombing will be aimed at the Soviet radar that has been exposed for a long time.

"The enemy planes are climbing. They should be equipped with new radars. They have discovered our position and are preparing to climb."

The situation transmitted from the three-dimensional radar made Ouhua frown slightly. "But the combat order was issued in a flash. The air distance of more than 20 kilometers was only a mere two minutes in front of the fighter jets on both sides with a speed of over 700 kilometers per hour.

Racing against time, relying on excellent climbing performance, the J-3 Gunniu squadron commanded by Ou Hua seized the advantageous altitude first. As soon as the third minute came, they began to dive. The twenty-four Gunniu fighter jets left some to guard the rear.

After the 12 bombers of the bomber squadron, the seven wingmen rushed towards the Soviet aircraft.

"Lao Maozi is so generous. The all-color MiG-8 seems to have shown its true identity."

The Soviet MiG-8 formation, which had failed to seize the advantage in the visible airspace, did not make any big moves. Instead, it made a highly maneuverable turning action in an attempt to regain the advantageous firing position.

The MiG-8 is the most advanced propeller fighter of the Soviet Union. Its top speed is close to 800 kilometers, not much worse than the Guniu fighter. Judging from the performance of the old Maozi pilots in front of him, Ouhua thinks that they are all some Japanese pilots who have had enough fights with the Japanese pilots.

The elite in dealing with people.

These aircraft may not be as good as the J-3 Guniu fighter jets, but the pilots are not bad. They and the Japanese pilots flying the Zero fighters were in a difficult fight.

There were 10 enemy planes and one of ours. Ouhua pounced on them without any hesitation.

The Soviet pilot's aircraft communication channel was also buzzing.

"Ula!!" These elite pilots, who had won numerous battles with the Japanese Air Force, "drove the Soviet Union's most advanced propeller fighters and headed straight for the Chinese aircraft.

The disadvantage in quantity is not important. As long as it can be held back for a period of time, more aircraft can naturally take off from the rear. Moreover, according to their experience in dealing with the Japanese army, quantity does not determine everything, and technology is often more important.

They did not think that these [Chinese] pilots who met for the first time would be more difficult to deal with than the elite Japanese troops over the Far East Theater.
