Chapter 178
In this operation, the strategic rapid reaction force will send the main force to participate in the war.
Including the First Airborne Army, the 100th Air Assault Division and the Seventh Army.
The Northern Theater will also send a mechanized army to participate in the war.
The Air Force, the Strategic Air Force Command, and the Strategic Army will also provide strong support.
The First Airborne Army airdropped to Kyakhta, Lake Khuvsgul and Ulegui respectively, cutting off the land passage between Mengyuan and the bear.
Then other troops quickly entered the field to make dumplings and occupy the territory.
Recover the entire Mengyuan with lightning speed.
The 100th Air Assault Division will play a key role in this battle.
Directly land in Kulun and occupy the airport in Kulun.
Not only do we need to defend this place, but we also need to expand it to accommodate medium and large aircraft.
Then the Seventh Army, as a rapid reaction force, will enter the field on large, medium and large transport aircraft and strategic transport aircraft.
Support the 100th Air Assault Division to complete the purpose of occupying Kulun.
At the same time, the Third Army in the Nomonhan area of the border area, that is, the direction of Qiqihar, Xilingol League and Baotou, will attack on all fronts. They will outflank
Kulun from multiple directions.
There is also a very critical point.
The troops in the Qiqihar direction need to quickly occupy the Choibalshan area.
Prevent the Soviet army from entering Mengyuan from the grassland in this direction to reinforce Kulun.
As for the western part of Mengyuan, due to the obstruction of the Altai Mountains, the reinforcements of the Seventh Army can only be delivered by air transport to defend these places.
Wait for the Third Army to complete the military occupation of the entire Mengyuan Province.
This time the Second Air Force will participate in the battle.
The Strategic Air Force will also mobilize most of the transport aircraft to assist the transportation of troops.
This is the entire combat plan for this debt collection day plan.
And the enemies they face should not be underestimated.
The Soviet army currently has a total of more than 500,000 troops in the Far East.
The main forces are concentrated in Mengyuan, Irkutsk, Chita, Blagoveshchensk, and Vladivostok.
In the Mengyuan area alone, there is an infantry army, a tank regiment, and two artillery regiments.
The total force is about 40,000.
Basically, it is concentrated in Kulun and Chobshan.
In addition to the Soviet army, there are only more than 20,000 troops in the Mengyuan area.
These 20,000 people are basically all cavalry units.
At present, the entire Mengyuan has only more than 600,000 people.
It is very good to be able to recruit 20,000 cavalry.
Even in the future, there are only more than 3 million people on this land.
On the eve of the battle, the Northern Theater mobilized the strategic reconnaissance aircraft squadron to carry out the last strategic reconnaissance mission in Mengyuan.
The Erdaokou Military Airport in Changchun is one of the three special military airports in the Northeast.
A special squadron, the Owl Squadron, is stationed here.
The fighter jets equipped by this squadron are relatively special.
Compared with other reconnaissance aircraft units.
They are equipped with the most advanced Red Alert reconnaissance aircraft at present.
Its name is called reconnaissance aircraft, and finally Jiang Fan gave it a name, called Owl.
Although this name is cute, this reconnaissance aircraft is completely opposite to its name, and it is very fierce.
Because it is a jet high-altitude strategic reconnaissance aircraft. It is one of the strategic aircraft types.
When Jiang Fan saw it, he knew why this reconnaissance aircraft was judged to be a strategic aircraft.
Because it is the Red Alert version of the U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.
And Jiang Fan also gave it the code name SR-2 Owl.
The appearance and performance of this reconnaissance aircraft are very similar to the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft.
It has a slender fuselage and a large aspect ratio mid-wing.
The maximum take-off weight is 13 tons, and it is equipped with a non-afterburning turbojet engine with a thrust of 5 tons.
The maximum flight speed is only 810 kilometers, and the climb rate is 50 meters per second.
Its biggest feature is long range and high ceiling.
The maximum ceiling can be as high as 28,000 meters, and the maximum range is 6,000 kilometers.
However, under normal circumstances, the height of reconnaissance is between 5,000 meters and 15,000 meters.
As one of the strategic reconnaissance aircraft.
Its weapon is the camera it carries.
It is equipped with 8 long-focal-length high-definition aerial cameras that can take photos automatically. It is also equipped with radio communication receivers, radiation source azimuth direction finders, electromagnetic radiation source tape recorders, etc. It can not only be used to take high-definition photos, but also intercept radio for reconnaissance and determine the location of the other party's radio. It only takes three sorties to photograph the entire Mengyuan.
Its role in the war is unquestionable.
War is fought on information intelligence.
And the SR-2 Owl is now almost impossible to intercept.
So it is normal for it to be classified as a strategic aircraft.
At present, the entire Mengyuan and the Far East region of the bear have been reconnaissanceed.
Many of their troop deployments, military bases, etc. have been detected and marked on the map.
A pilot wearing a heavy pressure suit climbed into the cockpit.
When the heavy pressure canopy was closed. After a while, the SR-2 Owl strategic reconnaissance aircraft started.
The tail engine emits an orange-red tail flame.
Driven by a turbojet engine with a thrust of 5 tons. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
SR-2 strategic reconnaissance aircraft leaped into the sky and flew towards Mengyuan in the west.
The main target of this reconnaissance was Mengyuan-the border area of the Mao Bear and Kulun City.
Neither Mengyuan nor the Soviet Far East Army thought that China was ready to attack them.
As for the SR-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, they could not find it at all.
Because this thing flies too high, basically flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters[]
In the Northern Theater Command in Shenyang, the final pre-war meeting was also being held.
The commander of the Northern Theater Command, Zhao Zhengchu, had always served as the commander of the Third Army Group.
After the establishment of the Northern Theater Command, he was appointed as the commander of the Northern Theater Command.
There were dozens of generals attending this meeting.
The Army, Air Force, and Strategic Army were all included.
The Strategic Army also played an important role in this operation.
"At the beginning of the war, we must first destroy the enemy's command center, military airport, important roads and bridges, power plants and communication sites.
This is very critical. We must not allow the enemy's aircraft to take off from the airport and threaten the safety of the airborne troops and the airborne troops.
This is left to your air force and strategic forces.
At 8 o'clock in the morning on January 15, the general offensive will be officially launched. We cannot give them any breathing space."
January 14, 1935, Kulun.
A telegram from the official Chinese government was delivered to Choibalsan's desk.
Choibalsan is also the actual leader of the current Mongolian government and the commander of the Mongolian People's Army.
He is a puppet supported by the Russian bear on the surface.
The content of this telegram suddenly delivered to his desk was very simple.
Mongolia has been an inherent territory of China since ancient times.
Before, China was not unified, so it was unable to interfere when they became independent.
And now they will pay the price for their separatist behavior.
After seeing the content of this telegram.
Choibalsan was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
This is basically equivalent to a declaration of war, but it is not a declaration of war.
In any case, the signal released by this telegram is already very obvious.
China is going to take action against them.
Choibalsan immediately said in a panic:"Please ask a consultant to come to my office immediately, quickly!"
In less than ten minutes, the Mao Bear advisor, Major General Balkhev, came to his office.
Advisor Balkhev graduated from the Frunze Military Academy and was also a military advisor sent to Mongolia by Moscow. He was fully responsible for all military operations in Mongolia, including the Soviet troops stationed in Mongolia.
So even though he was just an advisor, he had great power.
Even the Mongolian People's Army had to obey his orders.
He could be said to be the emperor of the entire Mongolia.
After Balkhev saw the telegram, a trace of anger appeared on his face.
"Asshole, Mengyuan belongs to the Mengyuan people, and has nothing to do with China.
Mengyuan is an independent country now and in the future.
If China dares to take military action against Mengyuan, neither the Mengyuan people nor us will agree.
Comrade Choibalsan, rest assured that the Chinese will not dare to take action against Mengyuan at the risk of going to war with us.
I will report this matter right away.
I believe Moscow will warn these Chinese people."
Qiubashan's expression also relaxed at this time.
With the promise of the consultant, he was no longer worried.
The Soviet Union is a powerful country with millions of troops.
China has just been unified.
Even if they can defeat the Japanese, they will definitely not be able to defeat the Russians.
He is very sure of this.
His admiration for the Russians is deeply rooted in his bones.
This is why the Russians pushed him to the top.
Now he is even planning to vassalize the Russians.
Let Mongolia become a part of the Soviet Union.
After receiving the content of this telegram, Moscow really took it seriously.
They have taken the initiative to give up the Middle East Railway under powerless coercion.
The Chinese are now actually taking advantage of it.
They even dare to pay attention to Mongolia.
This is intolerable.
The bearded man made a direct call to the desk of Blucher, commander of the Far East Special Army Group.
