Just when Timoshenko was telling Ivan, Alexey and others about the origins of Xu Rui's great success, more than a hundred Il-Fifteen and Il-Sixteen fighter jets were already flying over the airport.
They made a pass through the field, then landed one after another and finally parked on the runway.
After Boris and Valentin jumped off the plane, they immediately started a fierce quarrel.
In fact, when they were in the air just now, the two guys were already arguing with each other through gestures.
Boris jumped out of the plane first and rushed to Valentin's fighter jet. Then he held his head high, jumped to his feet and cursed: "Valentin, you idiot, what are you doing?"
Valentin jumped off the fighter jet and retorted: "You ask me? I still want to ask you."
"Valentin, what do you mean by that?" Boris said angrily, "Is it my fault that I co-wrote that?"
"Isn't it?" Valentin said angrily, "If you hadn't blocked my shooting range, I would have shot down that damn Ling Ling Yao, and could I have let it slip away?"
It turned out that the reason for the quarrel between the two was that a Finnish Hurricane fighter jet escaped.
It seems that the Finnish intelligence is somewhat incorrect. In fact, the Finnish Air Force was not completely wiped out. There was still a Hurricane numbered 001 that escaped the battle.
That's right, it's the fighter jet flown by Leland.
After listening to Valentin's words, Boris was even more furious and yelled: "Shit, you actually said that I blocked your shooting range? It's obviously you who blocked my shooting range, right? Four times
, I have already locked on that damn Zero-One, but every time when I am about to fire, you suddenly break into my shooting range."
Valentin countered: "Four times is nothing, you blocked me six times!"
"Shit, there are six times." Boris said angrily, "Five times at most."
"That's more than you." Valentin said angrily, "You still have the nerve to blame me?"
"But the last lock was really a good one. That opportunity was the most certain to shoot it down, but it happened to be blocked by you." Boris said while looking at Xu who was walking by.
Rui, I hope Xu Rui can come forward to judge for the two of them, who is hindering whom.
Xu Rui paid no attention and strode forward.
Xu Rui actually knew better than anyone else that Boris and Valentin were not really quarreling at all. They were just venting after a big victory. The quarrel just now was not so much a quarrel as a show off through the quarrel.
Forget it, show off that the two of them cooperated with each other and beat the ace pilot of the Finnish Air Force into a loser.
In fact, through the first phase of the Soviet-Finnish War, the Hurricane fighter numbered 001 piloted by Leyland was definitely a devilish existence in the minds of Soviet air force officers, at least in the minds of the aviation officers of the Northwest Front.
, because he shot down at least twenty Soviet fighters or bombers alone.
Boris and Valentin actually had a partner, and the three of them were collectively known as the Three Musketeers of that aviation school.
However, during an air battle, their partner was shot down by Ling Ling Yao driven by Leland.
But today, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although they failed to shoot down Ling Ling Yao in the end, and the guy escaped into the complex virgin forest in a fighter jet, they were able to chase the opponent's ace pilot into a lost dog.
, was enough for them to brag for a while, not to mention, maybe Ling Ling Yao had crashed into a tree and crashed in the virgin forest? In this way, they avenged the blood of their comrades.
Xu Rui was unwilling to cooperate with them to show off, but he didn't mind knocking their arrogance. He immediately said: "If you think that the Zero Zero will hit a tree and crash after escaping into the virgin forest, then you are overthinking. I can
I can tell you responsibly that this is definitely not the first time that guy has flown into that forest."
He paused and then said: "Judging from his many predictions and early turns, he flew that forest passage at least three times. Maybe that was his training ground. So, you expect Ling Ling Yao to be in the original
If he hits a tree in the forest, it is more practical to hope that he will be hit by a meteor falling from the sky."
"It's really boring." Valentin curled his lips and stopped talking.
But Boris made a face at Xu Rui's back and cursed: "Will you die if you praise us? Stingy!"
"Praise?" Xu Rui's hearing was so good that he actually heard it. He turned around and sneered, "With a six-to-one advantage, the opponent still shot down so many fighter jets in the end. You two claim to be the ace pilots of the Northwest Front, but personally
What's your record? That's it, how dare you let others praise you?"
Boris and Valentin immediately lowered their heads.
Although the two of them also shot down a few fighter planes each, they were far behind Xu Rui, so they really had no shame in showing off in front of Xu Rui.
While the three of them were talking, Timoshenko had already come forward with Ivan, Alexey and others.
"Comrade Xu Rui!" Before Xu Rui could stand at attention and salute, Timoshenko warmly extended his hand and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work!"
However, Xu Rui still stood at attention according to etiquette, saluted Timoshenko with a military salute, and then stretched out his hand to shake hands with him.
After Timoshenko shook hands with Xu Rui, he shook hands with Boris, Valentin and other Soviet pilots who had returned triumphantly behind Xu Rui. Xu Rui also shook hands with Ivan, Alexei and other senior staff officers one by one.
This time, Ivan and others' attitude towards Xu Rui improved greatly, because they already knew the details about Xu Rui from Timoshenko's mouth.
It turns out that this Chinese man is not a simple man, he is actually a top student at the Berlin Military Academy.
As senior generals of the Soviet army, Il, Alexei and others are certainly aware that profound changes are taking place in Germany's military theory today. It is said that the Berlin Military Academy has proposed a large-corps combat theory, which is in line with the large-scale combat theory of the Frunze Military Academy.
The theories are regarded as the two major military theoretical guidance in the world today.
After shaking hands with Ivan and other high-ranking officials, it was finally Diana and the sweet potato who was holding the king's hand.
Diana was holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, and she didn't know where she got the flowers in this cold winter.
Diana walked up to Xu Rui holding flowers and said with a smile: "Colonel Xu, congratulations on your victory in the first battle."
"Thank you." Xu Rui took the flowers and hugged Diana politely. Then he turned his attention to Sweet Potato and asked with a serious expression, "Daddy, are the brothers here?"
"We're here," Digua said, "I'm just waiting for you, leader."
Xu Rui nodded and immediately turned back towards Brother Timoshenko.
Timoshenko shook hands with more than a hundred pilots one by one, and turned around to see Xu Rui walking over.
Timoshenko smiled and said: "Comrade Xu Rui, you and the pilot comrades have worked hard. I have asked people to prepare a banquet at the pilot club. Let's go celebrate now."
"Comrade Timoshenko, I'm afraid we don't have time." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Now Finland's fighter force has suffered a decisive blow. Although the opponent still has a certain number of fighter jets, facing our bombers with fighter escort
group, the Finnish Air Force is no longer able to intercept it, so it’s time to enter the next stage of penetration reconnaissance.”
According to Xu Rui's plan, the first step is to severely damage the Finnish Air Force's fighter force.
The second step is to attack the Wolf Fang, discover the key military facilities of the Finnish army through reconnaissance, and then guide the Soviet bomber group to carry out precise bombing of the Finnish army's positions.
The third step is to concentrate the armored forces and push forward!
The fourth step is for the infantry to follow up and mop up the remaining enemies.
At this point, the battle is actually over.
This is actually the typical combat routine of the US military in later generations. Of course, the current Soviet army cannot be like the US military in later generations, but it can still be used as a reference. After all, Timoshenko does not need zero casualties like the US military in later generations. All he needs is
To defeat Finland in a short period of time, it is best to win Helsinki (the capital of Finland).
Brother Timoshenko was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Xu Rui to be more eager than him.
In fact, Xu Rui is indeed more anxious than Timoshenko, because the Soviet Union has a great cause. Even if the Soviet Union loses the war with Finland, it will not be a big problem. It can still force Finland to cede territory and sue for peace with its absolutely crushing national strength advantage. In the original
In that time and space, Finland was not defeated, but still ceded territory and sued for peace because they could no longer fight.
But Baotou is completely different. Baotou cannot afford the smallest loss.
So Xu Rui wants to solve Finland as soon as possible, and then return to Baotou to take charge of the situation as soon as possible.
Brother Timoshenko was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Comrade Xu Rui, is this too hasty?"
Ivan, who was behind Brother Timoshenko, also gave a rare piece of advice: "Yes, after such a great victory, we should have a proper celebration. And Comrade Xu Rui, you are a great hero, so you must attend."
Alexey also said: "The key is that it doesn't matter if we just delay it for one night."
"Thank you for your kindness." Xu Rui continued to shake his head, and then said, "If the Soviet comrades feel sorry for themselves, they can apply to the Supreme Command for a batch of material assistance to us."
"This is no problem, I will definitely apply in person." Timoshenko said, "But Comrade Xu Rui, from Baotou to Moscow to Leningrad, you haven't had a good rest. You just participated in another fierce battle.
Can your body withstand the air combat? How about resting for a night?"
"No need." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "For us, Langya, this little fatigue is nothing at all."
For Langya, this little bit of fatigue really doesn't mean anything. During the second counter-mopping operation in Damei Mountain, Xu Rui didn't have a sound sleep for seven days and seven nights, so this bit of fatigue really doesn't matter.
Timoshenko no longer had any reason to object and could only agree.
After a while, the Langya Brigade gathered enough supplies and set off quietly.
