The Russian artillery was all dumb at once.

Wei Yuankun was surprised and delighted, but he didn't dare to be careless, and still ordered the driver to reverse until he retreated to the safety of the town, lifted the canopy of the chariot, and poked his head out to see - good guy, the sky is densely covered with planes, and they are all big planes! Wave after wave, lined up in neat formation, swept overhead like a military parade. Looking further in the direction of the Russian artillery position, I saw rows and rows of black and gray smoke rising into the sky, no help, absolutely no help!

Wei Yuankun subconsciously took out his pocket watch and glanced at it: it was exactly 8 round.

The Chinese army's aviation support units that flew over Angarsk at around 8 o'clock that day included 72 four-engine heavy bombers of two heavy bombing wings, 27 twin-engine light bombers of one reconnaissance and bombing wing, and 24 single-engine fighters of the 1st Fighter Wing.

The first wave of 36 heavy bombers, under the guidance of fighters, swept over the Russian artillery at a low altitude: they did drop hundreds of bombs ranging in size from 25 to 100 catties, which not only instantly covered most of the gun emplacements, but also detonated the train full of ammunition behind the gun emplacements......

The second wave of heavy bombers was divided into three groups over Angarsk, one to replenish the enemy's artillery position, the other to chase and bomb the troop train east of the enemy's artillery position, and the last group flew across the Kitoy River to bomb the Russian train on the west side of the bridge.

The light bombers that arrived after the last arrived scattered into a single plane, flew around the town to reconnoitre, and as soon as they found a group of infantry outside the town, they chased after them and dropped bombs and strafed them, causing the Russian troops to run into the nearby woods in groups. There are also a small number of barbarian Russian soldiers who do not believe in evil, and use their rifles to beat them into the air, and they don't know what shit luck they have touched. A twin-engine O2 "Clear Thunder" bombarded and dragged the black smoke down, which happened to fall into the Angar River on the edge of the town, stirring up a large wave of snow. This accidental result could not change the fate of thousands of Russian troops around Angarsk, and the Chinese fighters in the air were idle, and they also swooped down one after another to strafe, and in a few strokes drove the handful of brave and strong men with chest hair into the forest or the underworld.

At this time, looking from the air to the south of the town, a convoy of nearly a kilometer from the end of the air rolled up a long trail of dust straight towards the town—it was the ground reinforcements that the airborne troops had been waiting for with their eyes wide open...... of the vanguard.

Captain Fu Liang cautiously poked his head out of his "Wise Wolf" command vehicle. I could see clearly the swarm of planes wandering and dancing in the sky, the towering pillars of smoke slanting in the wind on the horizon ahead, and the frightened Russian rout around me.

Fu Liangdi's "Zhi Wolf" was followed by the entire 10 "Flying Wolf" light chariots equipped with the 1st Brigade in the best condition, and further on, the 27 "Camel" half-tracks of the motorized infantry battalion and the 3 "Fire Wolf" assault guns of the 1st Company of the Mobile Artillery Battalion -- this does not include the two "Flying Wolves", 3 "Camels" and 1 "Fire Wolf" of the 1>st Company of the Mobile Artillery Battalion.

After that, 10 kilometers away, more than 200 vehicles of various types of the main force of the 1st Brigade were pulling a marching column seven or eight kilometers long, and they were following in a mighty way.

Fu Liang's detachment set off at four o'clock in the morning - half an hour ahead of the large army, and the whole team drove carefully and slowly with the headlights on before dawn, and encountered Russian barricades or bypassed or rushed. No fighting, look at the map after sunrise. Anyway, I drove 30 kilometers. Although they were shot and even shelled by the enemy many times on the way, Fu Liang ignored them all, and only took the rescue of the friendly troops in Angarsk as the only urgent task of 100,000 as soon as possible, and the vehicles that broke down halfway were also left in place to wait for backup. After seeing the situation clearly, Fu Liang estimated in his heart: it seems that there is only the chores left to clean up the remnants of the enemy.

……

Day. Sporadic fighting around Angarsk lasted only until noon.

The planes buzzed in the sky, the combat vehicles on the ground rumbled, and the Russian infantry who had lost artillery and armored vehicle support either surrendered in groups or scattered and fled. The commander, Colonel Corleno, drilled into a piece of ~|, and committed suicide.

Liang Gensheng, who was half wrapped in bandages, endured the pain and walked down the hill and took a look at Yuan Xu, the commander of the 1st Brigade who came to receive the defense.

"Let the friendly brethren suffer...... Yuan is here to apologize! As soon as Yuan Xu arched his hand, he bowed his head and was about to kneel. He was already picked up by Liang Gensheng with one hand.

"I don't blame you, I didn't expect Maozi to move so fast, it's good to come, it's good to come...... I'll leave it all to you. ”

"Yes, please rest assured, brother, with our brigade, we will never let Maozi step into this small city!"

Liang Gensheng breathed a sigh of relief, and called staff officer Wang Yuhan to ask him to explain the change of guard to Yuan Xu.

"A mobile ambulance station and a canteen have been set up at the station, so please gather your brothers to rest for a while, and a convoy will be arranged to send you back to the rear of the battle line later." Yuan Xu looked like an old housekeeper who was "afraid of not taking good care of him".

Liang Gensheng smiled and nodded, and walked towards the station with heavy steps, supported by a soldier with a bandaged head.

Yuan Xu's call came from behind him: "Brother Liang, this car is specially prepared for you......"

Liang Gensheng paused for a moment and raised his hand to his ear: "Brother Xie is kind, Liang has a heart, let me walk around casually and take a look at my brothers...... How many survived this time. ”

Yuan Xu didn't reply, gritted his teeth and held back tears, and saluted silently to the back that was crooked and gradually moving away.

……

Irkutsk, command of the Eastern Siberian Front.

Pareyev sat down in his chair with blank eyes, and the telephone receiver in his hand continued to sound hysterically until the chief of staff, Tokarev, came up to him, removed the receiver and put it back in place.

"Commander, the priority is to quickly withdraw the main field army on the Irkut front."

Bareyev's eyelids wrinkled slightly, and he replied weakly: "We have given the order to retreat." ”

"What I'm most worried about now is ......," Tokarev curled his finger and tapped on the map, "the enemy may send another armored mobile force to quickly insert between our main field forces and the fortress, so that the fortress and the field forces will be separated, forming two encirclements, so that the enemy can concentrate his forces and break through each one." ”

Barreev's face twitched nervously: "I think they're doing this." ”

Tokarev narrowed the rat's eyes behind his heavy spectacles: "Anyway, Commander, we have to make a decision sooner." ”

"What decision?"

"Live and die with the fortress, or ......"
