Chapter 1043 Reassurance
Stalin learned that Chinese air force was going to attack the German airport tonight, and immediately disagreed.
They had adopted many such attack plans before, but they were shot down by German ground air defense forces. Moreover, their planes were taken off by German planes before they could hit the airport. Therefore, the Soviet Union disagreed with such a way of playing.
They don't want to lose too many aircraft in such matters. According to the agreement, if one of these aircraft is broken, it will be considered to be the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union has to pay. If it is not broken, then these aircraft will have to go back to China. Therefore, the Soviet Union's meaning is very obvious, that is, aircraft cannot be lost in useless tactics, but should fight against Germany over Tula.
"The commanders of the Chinese Air Force insisted on carrying out this order. They said they would bear the losses. Their fights like this meant that they did not want their pilots to die in air combat!" The general at the airport said to the phone.
"Did they say they were responsible?" Stalin asked immediately when he heard this.
"Yes, the losses are all theirs. If they succeed, the losses are ours!" the general said.
"That's not possible. The possibility of failure is too high. What we need now is an aircraft. If our plane flies to Tula for a while, the German Air Force will know that it is not possible at all. We also hope that they can fight the German Air Force tomorrow.
Germany must be mobilizing planes in the rear now, and there will definitely be a large number of planes flying to Tula tomorrow. We are under great pressure and need them to help us. Let them rest tonight!" Stalin thought for a while, but still spoke against it.
He still couldn't take this risk because there were too many air forces in Germany and the Soviet Union had few planes, so he just counted on these planes from China.
Fortunately, these aircraft perform well. In the air combat, the USSR was quite satisfied with this result and did not want those aircraft to do anything else.
"Okay, I'll go and persuade me. What if they still don't listen and insist on doing this?" the general continued to ask.
"Damn it, convince me not to let them go!" said Stalin.
Stalin didn't know what to do. The Chinese air force had agreed before coming that the Soviet combat troops had only the right to suggest and had no command, so they could not control the Chinese troops.
At that time, the Soviet Union assisted China's air force, and the same was true. The Chinese commander could only suggest that they fight, but could not order them to fight. They had to negotiate. Now that Chinese troops insisted on going over and fighting, they had no choice.
"Okay, let's follow this idea. Now we have less than 800 aircraft left, divided into 4 attack groups, head to these four airports, throw them directly to the runway, blow up the runway first, and it doesn't matter whether the other ones are blown up or not.
If the ground air defense firepower is strong, come back after the bombing. The captains of each brigade are familiar with the flight route and find reference objects!" Wang Zhiwu stood there and said to the captains and division commanders.
"Yes!" The people nodded immediately.
"Dongdongdongdongdong~" At this time, the door of the conference room was knocked.
"Come in!" Wang Zhiwu shouted, and the general immediately pushed the door and came in.
"General Wang, we still hope you don't implement this plan. This task is too dangerous. This is what our commander means! You should consider it again!" the general said.
"General Rozovsky, we have decided that bombing must be launched. I said before, if the action fails, the losses are counted for us, if an airport is successfully bombed, then the losses are counted for you.
What I said about this matter is effective. Don't worry, the heads of our country will support me!" When Wang Zhiwu heard him carry Stalin out, he also carried the heads of his country and started talking.
"The people in your country also support it?" Rozovsky heard it and looked at Wang Zhiwu in surprise and said.
"Yes, they support you, as long as you do our logistics, we must ensure the safety of our country's pilots. If you continue to follow your playing style, our air force will be consumed.
The pilots in our country need to spend a lot of money to train. Now the pilots who come to the Soviet Union are all pilots with practical experience. If they are in China, they are all cadres at the level of the squad leader. Now they come here to carry out aid missions. I bring them out. In the words of our Brother Bin, I have the responsibility to bring them back. This is the battlefield humanistic concept believed by our Chinese generals!" Wang Zhiwu looked at Lozovsky and said firmly.
"Okay, I'll communicate with our commander again. In fact, it's not good news for our country to fight like this. We have also sneaked into German airports before and suffered heavy losses. We don't want you to do the same.
Also, we hope you can continue to maintain your advantage over Tula. Your aircraft performance is very good now, and your fighter pilots also have very good posture experience. Therefore, if you can avoid taking risks, it is better not to take risks!" Rozovsky said.
"Okay, go and ask your commander. We must carry out this combat mission. We have our own methods, so you don't have to worry about this!" Wang Zhiwu said firmly.
The general heard this, laughed and left, and then continued to call Stalin. Stalin still insisted on calling them, and was very dissatisfied when he heard that they insisted on calling.
"Send a telegram to Commander Mao of China, telling him that their air force does not obey our command or our advice. I hope he can order his air force to stay at the airport honestly!" Stalin said angrily.
"Yes!" A secretary heard it and went out immediately.
It was already late at night, and Xi'an was darker than Moscow. Now in Xi'an, it was almost 11 o'clock. Soon, Commander Mao, who was in Xi'an, received a telegram from Stalin.
"Commander, Commander!" A secretary whispered to Commander Mao who had just lying down.
"What's wrong?" Commander Mao asked immediately when he heard someone calling him.
"Stalin sent a telegram, there was a little dispute, it was our Air Force!" The secretary said immediately, and at the same time, he pulled up the electric lights. Now the place where Commander Mao and his team of Xi'an rested has also been installed.
"What's the problem with the Air Force? Didn't you fight very well today? Why? What else is he dissatisfied with?" Commander Mao said calmly.
"Look at the telegram!" The secretary handed the telegram to Commander-in-Chief Mao.
Commander Mao sat up and put on his clothes and looked up.
"Nonsense, our generals will consider the actual situation when they go abroad to fight, and they will use him to point fingers? Although the commander of the Air Force is young, he has the advantage of being young. If he dares to fight, what if he loses those planes.
If you are left alone, how can the Air Force fight? Humph, I discipline you, I don’t need to discipline you. My generals are all good generals!" Commander Mao said a little dissatisfied when he saw Stalin’s telegram.
He was very at ease with the generals in the country. Every general was trained from the battlefield. As long as there were no mistakes in strategy and tactics, they rarely made mistakes unless they were not as strong as others.
Those generals crawled out of the pile of dead people and grew up, and they all knew how to fight was the best. Although young generals were not experienced enough, they were very smart. If an old general pulled him, they would not make big mistakes.
"Commander, this telegram may be returned!" the secretary said to look at the commander.
"Tell him how many aircraft you lose, what we have. If the operation fails tomorrow and how many aircraft you lose, we will send it to you immediately and shrink. When the generals of our country, such as those generals of your country, all the good generals have been killed by you, what good generals do you have! But don't send the last sentence!" Commander Mao said immediately.
"Yes!" the secretary nodded.
"By the way, send a telegram to Wang Zhiwu of the Air Force. Don't worry, I will be responsible for any problems!" Commander Mao said.
"Yes!" the secretary said again, and after he finished speaking, he went out and sent a telegram. When the guard came in, he saw the commander put down his clothes and was about to go to bed, he turned off the light and closed the door.
On the Soviet side, Stalin received a telegram from Commander Mao.
"Arrogant, when did he dare to talk to me like this?" Stalin was very angry when he saw the commander's telegram, not because of the content of the telegram, but because of the tone of the telegram.
He felt that Commander Mao didn't take him seriously at all. When the others saw it, they lowered their heads. They all knew that the commanders of the two countries were inconsistent.
Wang Zhiwu, who was on the Air Force, was very happy after receiving the commander's telegram, which gave himself a reassurance.
"Comrades, the commander sent a telegram to tell us that if something happens, the commander will be responsible!
Comrades, the commander supports us so much. This time, we must fight a beautiful battle and let the Soviets see that war requires brains, not just charge! Not only can we win by consumption, but by consumption, our country has long been defeated by Japan!" Wang Zhiwu said excitedly.
When the commanders of the Air Force heard it, they were very happy. This was the first time they received a telegram from the commander, and what the commander said made them completely relax. As long as they were dedicated to fighting a good war, they would do other things and they didn't need to think about it.
"Captain, send a telegram to the commander. Please rest assured. We will definitely fight this battle!" The captain below said.
"Yes! Let the commander reply, we will definitely fight this battle and fight for the old man!" the captains shouted happily.
