Moscow, Kremlin. After the news of the front line came www.biquge.info Pen, Fun, and Cabinet, the atmosphere in the entire Kremlin was very depressing. In particular, when a hoarse roar came from Comrade Stalin's office, the entire Kremlin staff did not even dare to breathe a mouthful, for fear of angering Comrade Stalin and thus inviting misfortune.

"How so? How could the Air Force lose so much? After there is no air supremacy, how can the troops attack? Let them go to their deaths? How did you promise me before the war? Don't you say you're sure to win? But in the end, you just give me a copy of these results? "Stalin scolded Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov as a bloody sprinkler.

The two had no choice but to keep their heads down and let Stalin vent his anger. After all, the losses of the Soviet and Russian air forces this time were indeed a bit large, so big that they affected the development of the entire war. No wonder Comrade Stalin was so angry. In fact, even when they got the news, they were silent for a long time, not knowing what to do.

It took a while for Stalin to vent his anger. However, his eyes were still full of anger when he looked at Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov. This time, however, he finally made up his mind to attack the Chinese Empire. This courage was also plucked up with great difficulty. However, in the end, this is the result. He really didn't know what to do.

"Tell me, what do you do now? Why did we lose air supremacy so quickly? What do we do next? Stalin asked angrily. He only felt as if he had been slapped in the face.

"Comrade Stalin, this time we will fail for two main reasons. On the one hand, our pilots reported that they had encountered fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force when they were flying across the Urals. Those fighters, waiting for our group at high altitude, and then launch a sneak attack. That said, our plans are likely to have been leaked. Otherwise, how could the Chinese prepare in advance? Where in the world could there be such a coincidence! Voroshilov said.

"Check! Give me a hard look! Who the hell leaked the plan. If I find out, I'm going to hang him alive. Stalin said through gritted teeth. You must know that this time, the Soviet Russian Air Force lost more than 2,000 fighters and bombers, and more than 2,000 pilots were killed. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Soviet Russian Air Force, making Stalin feel as if his heart was dripping blood.

Both Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov felt Stalin's murderous intent. They know that this time there is no telling how many people will fall to the ground. It's just that they don't care, as long as they divert Stalin's anger. In this way, Stalin would not have been angry with them.

"On the other hand, there is a gap in the performance of fighter jets. There is a big gap between the performance of our I-16 and I-15 fighters and the advanced fighters of the Chinese Air Force. This makes our Air Force pilots completely no match for the Chinese Air Force in air combat. If you want to really beat the Chinese Air Force, a fighter that catches up with the Chinese Air Force in terms of performance, or even surpasses it, is indispensable. Voroshilov said. The fighters used by the Soviet and Russian Air Force, the performance is too rubbish. The leaders of Soviet Russia were well aware of this. It's just that no one dares to bring it up. All this was due solely to the reason why Stalin launched the Great Purge. Many excellent aircraft designers were executed, so that the development of new fighter jets in Soviet Russia was very slow. Now several fighters have just begun to fly test, and it will take a long time to equip the troops. Therefore, the Soviet Russian Air Force was almost in a state of flux.

"When will our new fighter be able to enter service?" Stalin turned his head and stared at General Kulik, the People's Commissar for Equipment of the Russian Red Army, responsible for the development and procurement of equipment for the Red Army.

"Comrade Stalin, now we have a total of three combat capabilities under development, namely the Yak-1 fighter, the Lager-3 fighter and the MiG-3 fighter. Test flights of the first two fighters have already begun, and mass production can begin in half a year at the earliest. The latter fighter will not be able to begin test flights until next year. General Kulik replied hurriedly. In fact, when he learned that the failure of the Soviet and Russian air forces was largely due to the performance of the fighters, he began to wonder how to answer Stalin's question.

"Can the performance of our new fighter compete with the Chinese?" Stalin asked. He could not tolerate that the performance of Soviet and Russian fighters was inferior to that of the fighters of the Chinese Air Force, which made him very faceless.

"This ......, Comrade Stalin. The performance of our new fighters is still inferior to the fighters of the Chinese Air Force. However, we are trying to close the gap with the Chinese Air Force. For example, the most advanced Yak-1 fighter, if it is against the advanced fighter of the Chinese Air Force, it will not have the power to counterattack at all. Kulik said.

Stalin's face was a little unpleasant, and it was clear that he was not satisfied with the answer to this question. What he hoped was that the Soviet and Russian Air Force would have a main fighter that could rival or even surpass the fighters of the Chinese Air Force.

"Comrade Stalin, in this respect we owe so much that it is impossible to make up for it at once. We can only continue to narrow the gap with the Chinese and eventually achieve transcendence. I believe that in the future, the great Soviet Russian Air Force will certainly be able to equip ourselves with fighters that are more advanced than the Chinese's fighters. Shaposhnikov said.

"Well, since we are much worse than the Chinese in this regard, we need to catch up. Only in this way can we surpass the Chinese in one day. In addition, the finalization of the Yak-1 fighter had to be accelerated. In the spring of next year, our advanced fighter will be equipped with troops and compete with the Chinese for the ownership of the sky. Stalin said.

"Yes, Comrade Stalin, I promise that the task will be accomplished." General Kulik hurriedly said. At the same time, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that this time he had successfully escaped the catastrophe.

Stalin's gaze returned to Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov.

"What do we do now? Could it be that we have been preparing for such a campaign for so long that we need to cancel it? Stalin asked.

Neither Voroshilov nor Shaposhnikov answered, because they did not know exactly how to answer.

The Russians were determined to launch this attack, and this was informed to the American side in advance, so that the Americans, in a state of great excitement, resumed their assistance to Soviet Russia. If Russia had stopped attacking, who knows what the Americans would have thought? The only thing that is certain is that the enraged Americans will surely think that Russia will not only stop providing aid to them again, but will never even provide assistance again.

If American aid were completely cut off, everyone knew very well what kind of impact this would have on Soviet Russia. Neither Stalin nor anyone else could afford such consequences.

"Comrade Stalin, having lost air superiority, it will be very difficult for us to attack again. The price to pay will be much greater. After mastering air supremacy, the Chinese can use air superiority to constantly bomb our troops and weaken our strength. Shaposhnikov reminded.

"If we deploy planes to the front line again, how long will it take?" Stalin asked. Although this time they lost four air armies, however, they still had a large number of aircraft. Even if these planes are old-fashioned, they are vulnerable to the advanced fighters of the Chinese Air Force. However, it can still provide some protection for the Soviet Russian Red Army.

"Comrade Stalin, the field airfields on the front line have been destroyed by the Chinese, and if these field airfields are to be repaired, it will take at least half a month. If a new field airfield is built, it will take more time. If deployed at airfields in the rear, it will be difficult to provide cover for troops at the front. Shaposhnikov said.

Because of the range, if they are deployed to airfields that are too far away from the front line, then the combat radius of the aircraft of the Soviet Russian Red Army will not be able to effectively cover the battlefield. In other words, the air force's fighters will have a very limited time in the air, so they will not be able to provide much support to the ground forces of the Soviet Russian Red Army. In addition, if the Soviet and Russian Air Force continue to use a large number of these old fighters, the Chinese Air Force will definitely seize the opportunity to destroy a lot more. Having lost these planes, they are not distressed. However, the loss of the pilot made them very distressed!

Stalin hesitated for a moment, and a hint of firmness flashed in his eyes.

"Let's continue to deploy fighters to the front line, first at the airfield in the rear. Let the troops on the front line do their best to repair the destroyed field airfields and find ways to build more field airfields. Stalin said.

"Yes, Comrade Stalin." Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov nodded.

"In addition, without the support of the Air Force, we have the support of powerful artillery. Even if the Chinese have great air superiority, as long as we are well prepared for air defense, we can still launch an attack. Therefore, our offensive against the Chinese cannot be stopped, and must be carried out according to the plan. A little more sacrifice is nothing. The great Russian Red Army was not afraid of sacrifice. I believe that we will be able to win. Stalin said firmly. (To be continued.) )
