,

The result of the spn large-scale artillery group using the B-type concentrated fire coverage was that in the next twenty minutes, hundreds of thousands of artillery rounds fell on the four front lines of defense of the Soviets, and a large number of underground bunkers were blown up.

, ranging from a hundred to several hundred Soviet soldiers in each bunker area, were either blown to death alive in the secret room or buried alive.

The number B, like a corkscrew, opened up the bunkers buried under the surface of the ground. The general was hiding inside and praying that the bombardment would end soon, and then gave the Chinese a good-looking Soviet army to see.

Comrade Marxist-Leninist.

The total number of guns discharged by the Ningguta artillery group in forty minutes even exceeded the number in a week at the height of the Soviet-Japanese war.

Hundreds of thousands of artillery were fired, and most of the inventory in the Northeast Theater was dragged to the Far East Theater a stone's throw away, and fell on the heads of the Soviet troops as if they were free of charge.

According to what Zhang Shusheng said at the base camp military meeting, problems that can be solved with money are not problems. The current domestic problem is not insufficient production capacity, but overcapacity. Not to mention the domestic mineral deposits, several of them were taken back from the Soviet Union.

The newly-established provinces even include large quantities of minerals.[

The process of mining minerals and then processing them into weapons and medicine is an economic process. From the perspective of the domestic people, most people can participate or indirectly participate in military production and thereby make profits.

The state organizes the production of weapons and medicine, which requires hiring workers and paying salaries. The seized minerals, millions of square kilometers of land, and the wealth on them, in turn, provide a recyclable factor: resources!

The Soviet Union was a huge treasure house. Whether it was oil or other minerals, today's Central Asia and Siberia almost gave people the illusion of inexhaustible resources.

What Zhang Shusheng needs to do is to create a war economy in this country, so that the economic difficulties during the war can be turned into a good economic situation, so that the domestic economy can take off through the war, so that people can get rich through the war, so that they can obtain money and land.

Receive other benefit distributions.

Therefore, Zhang Shusheng never grudges every war as long as it is not a pure waste.

At this time, the Komsomolsk defense line took several years for the Japanese army to attack. The solid defense line, regarded by the Allies as the first line of defense in the Far East, had been reduced to pieces by the crazy shooting of the super artillery group.

of ruins.

"Report! The concentrated fire coverage of Ningguta and other three artillery groups is coming to an end. A call from General Ye Long, the armored commander!"

Khabarovsk, the headquarters of the Iron Shoe Campaign.

Huo Weiguo walked quickly to the phone and took the call, "I'm Huo Weiguo!"

"Commander Huo, this is Ye Long! According to the plan, the fire coverage of the artillery group will end in fifteen minutes. Please give instructions whether the armored forces will launch the attack on time and as planned!"

Ye Long's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Act as planned. After the artillery attack, the air force will take over the fire support baton. Commander Ye, just command your armored group to take down the Komsomolsk defense line. Haha!!"

Huo Weiguo laughed loudly, but he was no longer as serious as usual. He and Ye Long were really familiar with each other, and they had a very good relationship during their time in Southwest China.

"Yes, Commander Huo, please rest assured that our armored lightning assault force will successfully complete the mission."

On the other end of the phone, General Ye Long, the commander of the Khabarovsk Armored Group that was conducting the frontal assault, said seriously.

"Okay, this air-to-ground collaboration is up to you."

Huo Weiguo put down the phone and asked the communications staff to dial the number of Lieutenant General Liang Yuanguang, who succeeded General Fan Chaoping as the commander of the Air Force Far East Theater Command at the Air Force Far East Theater Command.

"Commander Huo, this is Liang Yuanguang." Liang Yuanguang's meticulous voice came from the other end of the phone. Seeing that the air force fleet was about to attack, he did not dare to be careless at all.

"There are still 5 minutes left before the fleet takes off. There is no problem."[

If it were normal times, or a division-level or army-level air-ground coordination, Huo Weiguo would not care so much. However, this time the troops tasked with breaking through the overall defense line of Komsomolsk were armored clusters.

According to the plan, the artillery group's concentrated fire coverage was at the front, the fire support provided by air-ground coordination and aerial carpet bombing was at the back, and finally the infantry and tanks cooperated to break through the entire defense line.

Concentrating on using the superior equipment of the National Defense Forces to minimize the casualties caused by breaking through the solid defense line requires a strong air force, artillery and armored groups of sufficient size.

Just as the German army broke through the Soviet defense front line in the Barbarossa Plan, tanks were used in a large-scale concentration for the first time, causing all the Soviet army's counterattack methods to fail, and even causing an escape. The Soviet army sat on the truck and ran away.

, got out of the car, only to find that the road ahead was blocked by German tanks.

This is the great power of modern armored forces used on a large scale in war.

Of course, the prerequisite for large-scale armor concentration is air superiority, ground artillery superiority, and good infantry-tank coordination. Especially if there is no air superiority in the air, the armored cluster is likely to be chased by enemy aircraft and explode one by one. If you are unlucky,

Yes, if you encounter such a terrifying existence as the Ningguta artillery group, any armored group within a radius of dozens of kilometers may just be a faster target. No matter how fast it is, it is still slower than the artillery.

"No problem. Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief Huo, and please rest assured the campaign headquarters. The Far East Theater of the Air Force will definitely complete its mission. At present, all bomber fleets have been prepared. 10 airports and more than 30 field airports will take off in batches to ensure that the mission of the Communist Youth League is guaranteed."

Carpet bombing of city defense lines.

In addition, Commander Huo, our air force has just repelled a medium-scale counterattack by the Allied night fighter group, and it is estimated that a second large-scale air battle will break out over the Komsomolsk defense line soon."

The phone call always came faster than the battle report, so Liang Yuanguang simply explained the report that was about to be handed over to the battle headquarters.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to your performance."

Huo Weiguo put down the phone and said no more. Instead, he asked the guards to make a pot of tea and sat in a small room facing the large war room, quietly waiting for the dawn.

At the same time, the Air Force Far Eastern Theater Command headquarters located near Khabarovsk Airport in the suburbs was also brightly lit. Originally, the Air Force Far Eastern Theater Command was based in Hailanpao, but as the war deepened, the headquarters was quickly moved to Birobidzhan

, then the Far East Theater regained Khabarovsk and the coastal areas and moved all the way to Khabarovsk.

The air power in this Iron Shoe battle consisted of three aspects.

The first aspect is also the main force, mainly the air force supported by the Far East Theater and domestic forces, with more than a dozen military airports and a larger number of field airports as bases.

Secondly, the force is slightly weaker, mainly the aircraft fleet taking off from the Northeast Theater of the Air Force. These aircraft will be responsible for carrying out air strikes and air raids on the southern end of the Komsomolsk defense line, close to the coastal area and the Heilongjiang seaport, a large triangular seaside Japanese-occupied area.

Air containment.

Since the breakthrough point of the Iron Shoe Battle was chosen at the Komsomolsk defense line where the enemy was most assured, the main battlefield of this aerial battlefield was also over the Komsomolsk defense line.

According to what Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force Fan Siran said at the campaign mobilization meeting, even if a pile of aircraft is used, the enemy will be driven away from the Komsomolsk defense line.

The third aspect is the weakest, but the task is the lightest.

The air force in this area is mainly composed of the air force of the Siberian Theater of the Air Force. They travel long distances to provide air force for the Fifth Armored Group Army and other armored groups commanded by Chen Cheng in Siberia to break through the Yakutsk defense line and cross the Lena River.

support.

The number of aircraft mobilized throughout the campaign reached more than 5,500. Most of them were the Republic's most advanced Tianlong jet fighters and J-3 fighters currently in service. The bombers were all H-2 modifications and H-3m medium-range aircraft.

Medium bombers and some -35 Thor long-range bombers and -40 strategic bombers were not very useful, and the homeland that needed them urgently needed a large number of strategic bombers with a long range, so they did not participate in the Far East bombing.

With more than 5,500 aircraft, the National Defense Forces used a total of more than one-half of its advanced fighter aircraft, accounting for more than one-third of the total air force. It can be regarded as devoting half of the country's strength to the decisive battle with the Allies in the Far East.

"Report, the planes from the standing airports No. 1-15 have taken off, and the fleets from the field airports B1-B22 have also taken off one after another. At present, each fleet is completing the air formation. Other airports and some border airports in the Northeast Theater are about to arrive in the Far East Theater to rendezvous.

."[

The communications staff officer quickly reported to Liang Yuanguang that during the busiest time, one after another came continuously to report on the air rendezvous status of each airport and each group of aircraft.

"How is the situation with the second wave of Tianlong fighter jets competing for air supremacy?"

In order to fight the enemy to the death and suppress the enemy to the death, the Tianlong jet fighter group has been deployed to Khabarovsk and even the Ninggu Pagoda area. In the months before the general attack, once the Allied aircraft passed over Ning Quta

The frontline air cordon, these frontline superior fighters competing for air supremacy, are dispatched to drive the enemy back or shoot them down.

"The second wave of aircraft has just driven away a small Allied night attack aircraft group. It was identified by radar as a US military F-86 Sabre fighter." the communications staff reported loudly.

The air force staff officers nearby who had just received the news were discussing the situation. When they saw Liang Yuanguang coming, they said, "Commander Liang, we think this is a test by the US military. Look, in the entire Far East Theater, the Japanese army's night fighter fleet is huge.

Some were transferred back to the country to deal with our strategic bombing of their homeland, while the rest were already tired of dealing with our southern fleet.

Because the Soviet aircraft were severely damaged, had low performance, and could not be supplemented by domestic supplies for a long time, they were short of night combat aircraft and equipment. Of course, this did not mean that they lacked night combat aircraft. The Americans provided a batch of them.

.So these aircraft may be the Soviet night fighter fleet, but they are more likely to be the US Seventh Air Force in the Far East.

Due to the rapid increase in the strength of the Chinese Air Force and in order to alleviate the pressure encountered in the Southeast Asian battlefield, the US military very generously deployed the Eighth Air Force to assist in the defense of the Far East after deploying the Seventh Air Force to the Far East.

Today, most of the Eighth Air Force's aircraft are still there, while Seventh Air Force's aircraft are stationed at airports behind the Komsomolsk defense lines.

The ultra-large-scale electronic blackout on the battlefield at around four o'clock continued to harm the two front-running enemies, the Soviet Army and the Japanese Army. It also affected more than a dozen airports and Allied headquarters where the U.S. military was hiding behind the defense line.

seedling.

He did not know that the Chinese would have such a large-scale jamming technology, and even when they were electronically blocked, Admiral Bradley was not sure how the enemy interfered with communications. He attributed all this to those who infiltrated.

on the Chinese special forces.

"Order the third wave of aircraft to seize air supremacy to do their best to maintain the current situation before the follow-up fleet arrives. Even if the main Allied fleet attacks, we must buy time for our main fleet to arrive."

Liang Yuanguang discussed with several staff officers and the deputy commander of the headquarters and other generals and quickly issued the order.

Everyone knows that in normal times, these jet fighters are a treasure, but now, their entire value is to block the Allied forces' emergency take-off aircraft and provide safe ground bombing conditions for the bomber group.

No one will care about the losses. The plan has only one goal: after the artillery group's firepower is covered, aerial carpet bombing will be used to provide support for the armored group's advance.

Ten minutes later, the dark fleet of aircraft had passed over Khabarovsk. Listening to the roaring aircraft engines overhead, Liang Yuanguang could even accurately identify their models and roughly tell their flight altitude and speed.

, this is the experience of a pilot to an air force commander.

After listening to the latest report on the frontline air superiority situation, Liang Yuanguang finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, walked out of the underground headquarters, turned his back to the east, where the fish-belly white gradually appeared, and saluted the bomber group before the dawn general attack.

The most solemn military salute.

"China's national destiny, one battle is better than another battle! All the kings work together."

No one can guarantee that the war will be won, but what people can do is to produce more weapons and equipment. Zhang Shusheng did this, and China did it. No one can guarantee that the war will not kill people, but people can train more people.

Excellent and qualified military personnel not only provide them with the best weapons, but also teach them the best survival skills and killing skills. Such an army can truly win if it does not lead a path to victory with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
