    After a long while, he stood up, then picked up the telescope, looked at the endless wilderness in front of him, and said to himself: "When the little devil is beaten away, I want to come back to the northeast, open up a piece of wasteland, and settle down there."  Farm the land quietly, marry a wife, and have a few fat boys. In winter, I lie on the kang, smoking dry cigarettes and looking at the heavy snow outside the window."

    His words seemed to be addressed to You Haoran, but they also seemed to be spoken to himself.

    While Xia Yang¡¯s tens of thousands of troops were marching over the vast Heilongjiang wilderness, Soviet fighter jets and dive bombers began to ski-jump off from the airport under the early morning sun.

    The number of fighter jets and bombers dispatched by the Soviets to the battlefield in Outer Mongolia is more than 300, and together with other types of aircraft, the number is nearly 500.

    These fighters and bombers took off from seven field airports at the same time, formed one formation after another in the air, and began to fly towards the Japanese airports and other military targets in accordance with the established combat plan.

    General Zhukov looked through the telescope and watched the formation of fighter jets and bombers, like a flock of migrating birds, flying towards the Japanese airport and other military targets in a herringbone pattern.

    "The heavy artillery troops moved forward overnight last night and are asking whether to fire." Stavsky said to General Zhukov.

    General Zhukov used a telescope to observe the retreating fighter jets and bombers, and said: "Don't worry, after the air force starts fighting, the heavy artillery unit will start performing again."

    An hour and a half later, the Soviet fighter jets and dive bombers that were the first to arrive in the designated airspace began bombing Japanese camps and field airports.

    The Japanese also responded very quickly. The fighter jets on the airport immediately began to take off to fight back against the Soviets.

    This time, the Japanese army also assembled the air force of several aviation squadrons. Even in a frontal confrontation, it was not inferior to the Soviet Air Force.

    The main fighter aircraft equipped by the Soviets at that time was the IL-16 fighter jet.

    This type of fighter was definitely very advanced at the time, especially its high-speed performance, which was second to none among all types of fighter jets in the world at that time.

    Its maximum flight speed can reach 440 kilometers per hour, which is much faster than the Type 95 fighter jet equipped by the Japanese army at the time.

    The Type 95 fighter jet equipped by the Japanese army at that time had a maximum flying speed of only 400 kilometers per hour.  However, the Type 95 fighter has relatively strong combat capabilities. It has advantages over the Soviet fighters in terms of climbing speed and maneuverability.

    But this advantage was not particularly highlighted under the higher-speed crushing of Soviet fighter jets.

    The fighter jets from both sides started fighting first. Above the Japanese field airport, the fighter jets from both sides could be clearly seen fighting among the clouds.

    The Type 95 fighter jet equipped by the Japanese army has excellent close combat capabilities.  But the Soviet pilots obviously knew this. They chose to use speed to get rid of the Japanese army, and then waited for an opportunity to get behind the Japanese army and launch an attack.

    Relying on the advantage of absolute speed, Soviet pilots made up for some shortcomings of the Il-16 fighter jets.

    Above the clouds, the sound of machine guns and the roar of aircraft engines echoed across the entire wilderness.

    Hundreds of fighter jets are fighting in the vast airspace, like hundreds of birds of prey soaring in the sky.

    Smoke of gunpowder filled the blue sky. From time to time, fighter jets tumbled from the sky and fell to the ground amidst bursts of explosions, emitting black smoke.  Then when it landed, there was another extremely violent explosion.

    ¡°The black smoke left behind when the fighter jet crashed was like adding a shocking scar to the sky.

    Under the cover of fighter jets, the dive bombers began to drop aerial bombs on the Japanese airport runway below.  Sometimes these aerial bombs would be dropped on the Japanese soldier camps, and then directly turn those barracks into ruins.

    ¡°Da da da da!!!¡±

    The Japanese machine gun fire on the ground began to shoot at the dive bombers.  However, the effect of this kind of shooting is not obvious. After all, this is not an anti-aircraft gun, and the anti-aircraft firepower it can provide is very limited.

    At this time, these Japanese soldiers experienced the mood of Chinese soldiers when facing Japanese fighter jets.

    For Chinese soldiers who lacked effective air defense means at the time, shooting at fighter jets and bombers with machine guns and rifles was the only way to express their anger  Despite this method, in most cases, there is no way to shoot down the bombers that kill their comrades.

    These bombers continuously dropped aerial bombs on the heads of the Japanese troops and on the runway of the airport.

    However, the Japanese fighter jets also used cannons to shoot down many of these bombers.

    From time to time, fighter jets and bombers landed on the ground amid such fierce battles and strong explosions.  Some even made a big hole directly in the ground.

    While the air forces of both sides continued to fight fiercely, the Soviet heavy artillery troops, which had moved dozens of kilometers overnight, also began to carry out fierce bombing on the Japanese positions under the order of General Zhukov.

    But this kind of bombing is more of a deterrent.  It is not really necessary for infantry and tank troops to cooperate in the attack.

    Dense artillery shells landed not far from the Japanese position.  There were also many artillery shells that directly bombarded the Japanese positions, blasting several Japanese soldiers who did not enter the bunkers in time into pieces.

    Noting the actions of the Soviets, Michutaro Komatsubara, the commander-in-chief of this Japanese battle, also responded immediately.

    They transferred several heavy artillery brigades from the base camp and moved forward urgently, then pointed the muzzles at the defensive positions of the Soviets and Mongols and began to bombard them.

    Not only that, the Japanese troops on the entire front.  They all received orders at this time, and all entered a state of combat readiness, ready to respond to Soviet attacks anytime and anywhere.

    The air battle and artillery battle between the two sides lasted until about one o'clock in the afternoon, and then slowly came to an end.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
