Military vehicles were indeed flying everywhere on the once peaceful grasslands. With the Russian army's incident in Kulun, the nearby herdsmen also knew that the Russians were coming to snatch their land, so they welcomed the Northwest Army. Moreover, the grasslands and The Central Plains have had deep ties with the Central Plains for a long time. They are not disgusted with it. Instead, they feel that with the presence of the Northwest Army, their lives are guaranteed.
It is precisely because of the arrival of the Northwest Army that they have seen the strength of China's current army!
The planes that cover the sky, the military vehicles and tanks that spread over the grasslands, and the countless cannons all make them more determined that China is their home.
But all this has nothing to do with Sarina, because his lover has already set off towards the north at this time.
The north is where the Russian army belongs. A soldier sets out to perform a mission to the north, not to mention it is after the Battle of Coulomb.
Looking at the motorcade that was going away, Sarina shed a string of tears. There is both longing and worry for his lover and hatred for the Russian invaders.
…
At high altitude, a long-range reconnaissance aircraft modified from P51 was escorting the 15th Armored Division.
Wang Dong graduated from the Air Force Military Academy last year and was flying a P26 when he first entered service. However, since the army's major change, he has fallen in love with the new aircraft. All the features of this fighter are so outstanding that he often He fantasizes about flying fighter planes to kill the Japanese.
But unfortunately, he did not have enough driving experience, so now he can only add a reconnaissance plane, but the reconnaissance plane is also modified from the P51.
Although the P51 is not a professional reconnaissance aircraft, its ultra-long range makes it qualified for this task. Coupled with the modification, it is absolutely killing indiscriminately in this era.
"Eagle's Nest! This is Hawkeye 1. No enemy troops have been found yet."
Below, Xia Guangming's 5th Division and the 40th Division of the 14th Army were marching towards Ulan-Ude with their swagger, as if they were afraid that the headphones would not know.
But this action is to let the Russian army know and mobilize the Russian army. Otherwise, the enemy who has been hiding in the dark will be terrifying.
The distance from Kulun to Ulan-Ude is just over 500 kilometers. If we attack from the side, it will take a detour of 600 to 700 kilometers.
The armored division's marching speed is basically 20-30km. It has been more than 5 hours since it set off from Kulun, and the Russian army has made no movement! !
"I found an enemy plane!!!"
At this moment, Wang Dong suddenly discovered an aircraft in the lower clouds on the right side in front of the 15th Division. It looked like it was definitely a Russian aircraft! !
"Eagle's Nest! Request an attack!"
"Don't attack, let him investigate, and chase him when he retreats. Remember, don't shoot him down. Our mission this time is to force the Russian army out of the darkness!"
Wang Dong was very unwilling. This was the first time he encountered an enemy plane. Well, he couldn't attack yet!
On the other side, the Russian pilots were checking the movements of our army and looking at thousands of military vehicles and tanks underground. Moreover, this direction is not obvious from the map, but from a high altitude, it is pointing directly to Ulan-Ude!
The Russian pilot observed for a while and then accelerated towards the Far East!
Just as the Russian pilot was returning in a hurry, there was a sudden roar behind him. When he looked back, he broke out in a cold sweat. Unexpectedly, a Chinese fighter plane appeared behind him and was firing at him!
The Russian pilot kept pulling and pulling, and finally he found that the pilot behind him seemed to be a rookie. Although the aircraft was much more powerful than him, the operation was very unfamiliar.
He even wanted to turn around and kill the Chinese fighter jet. But thinking of the importance of the information, he flew to the Far East after getting rid of Wang Dong's pursuit.
Seeing the enemy slipping away like this, Wang Dongke was so angry that he was almost dead. You know, if he shot down the enemy plane, he might be able to fly a fighter jet! Rather than doing investigation work.
…
At this time, in the Far East Temporary Command located in Harchaga, Bluher was watching the report of the reconnaissance plane.
Although the pilot's description was very true, Bluher always felt that the Chinese army had some conspiracy!
Such a dangerous and dangerous plan was actually discovered by a reconnaissance plane!
If he hadn't known that the level of Chinese aircraft was far superior to that of Russia, Blyucher would have ordered the encirclement of this lonely and deep-reaching army.
But his subconscious told him something was wrong.
"Have the Chinese troops in Cullen been mobilized?"
Bluucher asked the intelligence service.
"According to reports from our informants, the enemy is advancing towards Lieutenant General Kovalev's 17th Army!"
"Could it be that the Chinese want to destroy the 17th Army?"
"Aren't they afraid that we will rush up and surround this Chinese army?"
Bluher looked at the sky outside the window. It was already afternoon, and he would not be able to detect the movements of the Chinese army at night.
"If they march overnight, they might reach Ulan-Ude early tomorrow morning!"
"The 17th Army will be in danger by then! Logistics supplies will be cut off. As long as the enemy holds us back, we will have time to eat up the 17th Army!!"
The more Bluucher thought about it, the more frightened he became, but this situation was difficult to solve!
…
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon on May 23, the alarm bell blared at the Cullen Field Airport. Under the guidance of the ground crew, planes began to take off in formation in the air.
The planes that originally occupied a large area now all climbed into the sky! The roar of engines resounded across the grassland, and residents in the city watched huge fighter planes roaring towards the north! !
The feeling of the sky being blocked out made even the residents who had experienced the street fighting in Cullen break out in cold sweat!
On the grassland, Xia Guangming, who was doing some pruning, suddenly stood up and looked behind him.
According to his old memories, it was the first time he saw such a large-scale aircraft, one after another, even when it was dark, the shock was the same as the impact of thousands of tanks!
The roar of the plane almost shook the clouds away, but they were not afraid! Some are excited! It is an indescribable joy!
They are sincerely proud to be soldiers of the Northwest Army!
Ulan-Ude, as the largest city in the Transbaikal region, has always been in a peaceful state, undisturbed, and quietly located on this vast land.
But this tranquility was broken today!
Hundreds of bombers, escorted by fighter jets, arrived in Ulan-Ude. They emerged from the clouds, and the roar of their engines could be heard throughout the city, even covering up the sound of air defense sirens! !
The B17 bomber flight group did not disperse and went straight to the station. As a stop on the Trans-Siberian Railway, this place is absolutely crucial! On the bombing mission, the first bombing target was the station.
No one expected this, not even Blucher. None of the Russians thought that the Chinese dared to bomb Russia! !
But it happened, and on a massive scale.
