Air-ground integrated combat depends on overall effectiveness. To put it simply, it is to sublimate the main body of war from the ground to the air with a higher scientific and technological content.

The side that does not have air supremacy is doomed to suffer in such a battle. The Soviets lost air supremacy, so their artillery theory was simply useless at the beginning of the war.

In this respect, the Soviet armed forces are fundamentally different from those of Europe and the United States in terms of composition.

The USSR emphasized artillery, ground support fire, and the Soviet army was accustomed to carrying out with overwhelming artillery. The status of artillery within the Soviet army was quite high, and the equipment was quite good.

Under normal circumstances, the Soviet Union's ideal war would be based on a massive advance of armored clusters with artillery following behind.

As for the air force in this mode of warfare, it is actually an auxiliary branch. The task given by the Soviets to the Air Force was very simple: to disrupt an interceptor force of the adversary's use of the Air Force to interfere with the ground forces.

To put it bluntly, the Soviet army thought about not fighting a three-dimensional war 70 years ago. As much as possible, they hope that the war can be turned into a plane war in which the major branches of the armed forces fight their own battles.

The main purpose of the Air Force is to stop the bombers of the opposing Air Force and prevent these bombers from interfering with the ground forces.

The navy fights the opponent's navy, as long as it interferes with the opponent's navy before the victory or defeat is decided on the ground battlefield, so that the opponent cannot make full use of the sea, and it is fine.

This set of theories is a subtraction of three-dimensional warfare: I don't let you use air superiority, my superiority on the ground can be reflected.

Before 1970, this set of theories was very effective, and could make up for the huge shortcomings of the Air Force and the Navy.

As long as the Air Force maintains superiority in the number of fighters, as long as the Army wins before these front-line fighters are consumed and lost, this is the core idea of Soviet tactics.

From the other direction, it can be well explained why the Soviet MiG-21, MiG-25, including the later MiG-29 fighters, are all front-line fighters.

The reason is very simple, the Soviet army does not need powerful long-range air supremacy fighters and escort fighters at all, it only needs to intercept the "interceptors" or "front-line fighters" of the opposing fighters and bombers.

And the Su-27 is an alternative, after discovering that this set of theories does not work, it catches up with the "follow-up work" developed by the United States and is like copying the homework.

Because the Soviets believed that their land forces could take out any opponent, they had the advantage of numbers and equipment, and 10,000 tanks swept across Europe without enemy interference, and they could easily win the victory.

If we look at it from this point of view, in fact, Germany is the best teacher of the Soviet Union, and Goering's tactical air force thinking has been better inherited and brought into play in the hands of the enemy of the Soviet Union.

During World War II, the Luftwaffe suffered from a lack of strategic resources and could only play the pitiful tactical air force. The problem of the short legs of the fighter could not be solved from beginning to end, and there were no long-range bombers to use.

Until around 1970, the Soviet Union was still the Luftwaffe in World War II: it had only air defense units and fighter interceptors.

What is even more exaggerated is that the Soviet Air Force does not even have many tasks for ground support, they are only responsible for intercepting the opposing air force and destroying ground targets, and they mainly rely on ground forces to complete it.

In fact, before the reform and opening up, the squadron was also this theory. The theory of artillery has been used in many self-defense and counterattack wars, and it has not suffered much loss, so it has not been questioned.

Until the outbreak of the Gulf War in '90, the leap in the quality of weapons and equipment brought about by the development of the theory of the large air force and the field of electronic information technology made it difficult to sustain the traditional flat war of "fighting on its own."

The Gulf War woke up the squadron, and in the subsequent development, China's electronic technology kept up with the development and progress of the times, and also contributed to the great leap forward in the quality of China's weapons and equipment in the 21 st century.

However, because the Soviet Union firmly believed in its own set of "fallacies and heresies" and its own industrial level stagnated, it finally lagged behind in the development of electronic information technology, which in turn made Soviet-style weapons and equipment backward.

Now, because of the arrival of Li Le, because of the Libyan oil fields, and because of the oil projects that the Saudis may develop, the Germans have played the big air force and strategic bombing.

But the Soviet Union, which knew that it was not capable, was still not good enough to play interceptor fighters.

I-16 fighters may not be the opponent of the German ME-109 and F-190, not to mention that the Soviet Union's La-7 and other better performance fighters have not yet entered service, and the German army has already used the TA-152, a terrible aerial monster.

If the Soviet Union had developed an aircraft such as the MiG-3 or Zela-7, perhaps the German Raven fighter would have been seen in the sky.

It must have been an unforgettable sight: the Soviet pilots who had been given the new fighter jets were killed by the jet fighters of the Third Reich before they had time to rejoice......

The Ju-88 bomber flew over the battlefield, overwhelming the attacking Soviet tankers.

They saw that Red Tekach was right in front of their eyes, but this short distance of less than a kilometer became an insurmountable chasm for them.

In the course of an hour's engagement, the Soviets lost a full 1,000 men and destroyed almost 100 tanks of various types.

But they advanced less than a kilometer, killed about 50 German soldiers, and destroyed about a dozen German tanks and armored vehicles.

Rokossovsky himself, the commander of the Rokossovsky cluster of Soviet troops, who was commanding at the front, was shocked by such a brutal battle.

He thought that he was supervising the battle on the front line and investing the most elite main forces of the Soviet army to turn the tide of the war in front of him.

He had previously told his lieutenant that the battle would be difficult, but he was confident that his troops would be able to win the event.

But now it seems that his estimate was still too optimistic: Red Tekacz was still in the hands of the Germans, and his attacks had not yet worked.

Grabbing the radio intercom, in the suffocating tank, Rokossovsky gritted his teeth and shouted to all the Soviet commanders who could hear it: "Give me a full-scale attack!" Whatever it takes, take on Red Tekach! ”

"Attack! For the Soviets! A Soviet commander struggled to get up from the crater, brandished a pistol and pointed forward.

Beside him, countless Soviet soldiers stood up, rifles, bright bayonets, shouting slogans, and launched an even more frantic charge.
