On October 13, 1951, more than two months have passed since the local war between China, Soviet and Mongolia. At this time, the situation between the two sides changed. The Tang Empire sent powerful air force and army to directly participate in the war, which once made the whole world nervous, for fear that a full-scale war between the Tang and Soviet countries would even trigger a nuclear war, destroying the whole world.

This concern was quickly denied by diplomats from Tang and Su, who claimed that this was just a small-scale local war conflict. Tang and Su were determined to conduct a live-fire military exercise, which became the most comical and scam-free diplomatic defense that the world recognized in the 1950s.

The Tang army carried out large-scale air mine laying operations in Mongolia, which won the Tang army valuable strategic preparation time. By the 15th, 30 armored divisions and six self-propelled artillery divisions of the Tang army were deployed.

At this time, the Royal Army of the Tang Empire had carried out the third reorganization, and equipped a batch of new high-tech equipment such as armed helicopters. In the past, the army troops did not have direct air force, so after equipping armed helicopters, a new type of command and coordination organization was needed.

As the supreme commander of the Emperor's Team of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Meng promptly proposed new combat systems such as sea and air integration, land and air integration, and sea, land, air and space integration, which caused tremendous changes in the formation and combat methods of the Emperor's Team of the Tang Dynasty.

Among them, land operations emphasize the integration of land and air, and coordinated air-ground operations have become the focus. Under this new command concept, the troops of the Tang Army underwent the third reorganization.

Taking the First Armored Division, one of the main forces of the Tang Army, as an example, the 1st Armored Division has a total of 17,000 people. It has a division headquarters and division company, 2 armored brigade brigade and brigade companies (with a total of 6 heavy tank battalions), 1 mechanics brigade and brigade company (with a total of 4 mechanics and infantry battalions), 1 engineering brigade, 1 air defense artillery battalion, 1 military intelligence battalion, 1 communication battalion, 1 division artillery regiment (with a 3 155mm self-propelled howitzer battalion. 1 120mm anti-tank artillery company), 1 division support headquarters, 1 division aviation brigade (with a 2 attack helicopter battalion, 1 air assault company, 1 aviation command company, 1 cavalry squadron), 1 chemical company, 1 military police company and 1 division band.

The entire division is mainly equipped with 350 full-track main battle tanks of the Tiger 2a8m, and the light tanks were eliminated, replaced by 220 TW50 infantry combat vehicles and 100 TW42 cavalry combat vehicles. 308 full-track armored personnel conveyor vehicles, 167 crawler command post carriages, 60 Divine Bow armed attack helicopters, 40 camel multi-purpose transport helicopters, 24 pigeon reconnaissance helicopters, 72 155mm self-propelled howitzers, 24 120mm anti-tank guns. The 24-door ships were converted to land to use an eight-by-eight-wheeled "Vulcan" air defense dense array, etc.

The Tang army's new armored division forces require integrated coordinated combat between land and air. The armed helicopter forces equipped with have strong ground attack capabilities. At the same time, the original ship-using Vulcan dense array system was converted into a wheeled tank to carry Vulcan air defense cannons. This greatly improved the air defense capabilities of the ground forces, both of which are advanced weapons that the Soviet ground forces do not have.

The only thing the Soviet army is proud of is-3 heavy main battle tanks equipped by their armored troops are almost five times that of the Tang army's "Tiger" 2a8m main battle tanks. In terms of firepower, the IS3 is equipped with a 122mm main gun, while the Tang army's Tiger 2a8m still uses the A7+ 120mm main gun. In terms of armor, the IS3 is 220mm thickest, and the Tiger 2 is only 210mm thickest. In terms of speed, the IS3 off-road is 45 kilometers per hour, which is similar to the Tiger 2a8m.

On the surface, the Soviet I3 heavy tanks had a great advantage, but the weight was different as long as they looked at it. The I3 combat weight was only 45 tons, while the Tiger 2a8m combat weight was as high as 62 tons.

The key problem is that Tiger 2a8m uses new composite armor, and the key parts use high-density depleted uranium armor. During combat, a large amount of reaction armor is hung on the outside, which increases the total weight of the battle, and has extremely strong protection ability, but does not affect mobility.

At the same time, the ammunition used by the Tang Army tanks is mainly new stable tail wing shell-piercing armor-piercing bombs, which adopt depleted uranium alloy technology, and has stronger armor-piercing capabilities. In contrast, the armor-piercing bombs of the Soviet Army tanks are still at the level of tungsten steel alloy.

This gap is unknown to the Soviet army and is destined to suffer a great loss.

On October 18, after paying tremendous energy and price, the Soviet army finally cleared out various landmines blocking them and continued to attack the areas controlled by the Tang and Zhong armies.

This time, Stalin personally supervised the battle in the rear and mobilized 14,000 main battle tanks, 5,000 aircraft and 9,000 artillery, including the Katyusha rocket launcher weapons that made the Tang and Zhong armies afraid of. The Soviet army wanted to drive the Tang and Zhong armies out of Mongolia in one go and win the final victory.

Stalin swore with confidence, as if he was sure to win, and even called Zhang Meng again to confirm that if Zhang Meng failed, he should not get angry, and he should not betray the debt. He should obediently withdraw from Mongolia.

Zhang Meng sneered, responding to Stalin with the same words, and also advised him to give up earlier, otherwise he would lose his pants.

The Tang army deployed 4,000 main battle tanks, 3,000 aircraft and 6 self-propelled artillery units on the front, and another 4,500 main battle tanks, 1,000 aircraft and 3,000 artillery units on the front.

In terms of the number of main combat weapons, the Tang Zhonglian Army also had much fewer total numbers than the Soviet army, which made some generals worried, but the Tang army said that the quality was enough to defeat the quantity, so they did not have to worry.

Starting from dawn on the 18th, the Soviet army led the lead in 5,000 aircraft to be dispatched in full swing, and the sky was covered with darkness. On the ground, 14,000 main battle tanks of the Soviet army started from the desert area of ​​Ulyasutai in the west and to the grasslands of Ulaanbaatar in the east. They launched an attack on the 1,000-kilometer front, causing a sandstorm to soar into the sky.

The Soviet artillery fired violently, and 9,000 cannons fired volleys, breaking the sky, especially those Katyusha rocket artillery regiments, with extremely strong firepower and carrying out saturated artillery bombardment at the opposite Tangzhong army.

At the same time, the Tangzhong Allied Forces quickly returned to their colors. 4,000 fighter jets were launched, covering tens of thousands of miles of sky, fighting with Soviet fighter jets.

There was a large-scale battle between 9,000 jets on both sides. This scene was very spectacular, and the sky was filled with fire. Explosions were constantly sounded and smoke was densely covered, covering the sky, like the arrival of the doomsday.

Since World War I, there has been almost no such large-scale air combat, and it is difficult to see even during World War II. Air forces from all over the world are taking the elite route, and in the jet era, the battle between fighters requires greater maneuver space. Few occur in crowded melee.

In fact, 9,000 fighter jets on both sides were spread across the airspace of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, but it gave people the feeling that the whole sky was full of planes of both sides fighting, which looked like a big melee.

The performance gap between the fighter jets of the two sides was not big. The Tang and Zhong armies used the second-generation Raptor series improved models. The Soviet army dispatched a large number of MiG15 fighters. There was not much difference in the caliber and speed of the gun.

However, most of the Raptor fighter jets sent by the Tang army this time have been equipped with Feiyu air-to-air missiles. Although they are still the most primitive infrared guided missiles, they are weapons that are enough to change the entire battle situation.

The Soviet Union had obtained information and only thought that the Tang army aircraft had rockets installed, so the Soviet MiG 15 also installed rocket systems.

In fact, after the MiG 15 is equipped with a rocket, it is not very useful. Because it is a temporary installation, the rocket needs to be launched at the front and close range like a cannon. For jet fighters, the speed of the rocket is still slow and it is difficult to hit the target. On the contrary, due to high-speed maneuvering and avoidance, most of the overload of the aircraft itself exceeds 3 to 4g. At this time, the temporary rocket plugged in the MiG 15 will suddenly not be able to withstand the overload and detonate itself.

In this regard, the Tang army needs to be much more experienced, although this is what Zhang Meng suddenly remembered when he was talking to a senior pilot during an inspection of the Time and Space Force, which reminded the Tang Air Force to pay attention to the overloading of the air-to-air missiles carried by the Tang Air Force, which delayed the service of the air-to-air missiles and solved the overloading problem two years later.

The reason why the Tang army wanted to solve the overload problem was that Feiyu Air-to-air missile was infrared guided and could only track the air flow of the enemy aircraft's tail nozzle to launch an attack within 2 to 3 kilometers. It also needed to stay for a period of time and could not change the action to prevent the Feiyu missile from flying out and then flying back to hit it.

In this way, the Tang army pilots can only launch the flying fish missile when chasing the enemy from behind. Obviously, the enemy planes will not let you chase and fight honestly, and will change various actions to avoid them. This requires the Tang army fighter planes to constantly change their movements, so they must first solve the problem of continuous overloading.

At this moment, on the Mongolian battlefield, the Tang army pilots were not afraid of plane overloading to make missiles self-destruct, and constantly changed various tactical actions, and were at ease. On the contrary, the Soviet army continued to self-destruct due to overloading in the mutual pursuit of the Tang army, and were also attacked by the Tang army's flying fish missiles. The Soviet pilots had never seen such air-to-air missiles that followed them all the time, and were hit and exploded one after another, causing heavy losses.

In just one hour of large-scale air combat, the Soviet army lost more than 3,400 aircraft, while the Tang army lost only more than 900 aircraft, and in the ** side, there were only about 1,000 aircraft, resulting in more than half of them.

The jet fighters on both sides did not stay air-stagnant for a long time. They all started fighting from the beginning, intending to eliminate their opponents in one fell swoop, without a second wave. Therefore, after more than an hour of fierce fighting, the sky suddenly became clear, and all the planes on both sides returned to their respective airports.

Fierce battles were also being carried out on the ground at the same time. **The only 3,000 cannons were fired and fired against 9,000 cannons of the Soviet army. The entire army was wiped out in just one hour.

However, the Tang army's artillery troops were able to survive. Six self-propelled artillery divisions maneuvered at high speed, and quickly changed places after firing a round of shells, making it impossible for the Soviet artillery to lock in and attack them.

During this hour, all 8,500 main battle tanks of the Tangzhong Alliance were dispatched to face the Soviet tank cluster head-on. Two huge torrents of steel collided, killing them in the blink of an eye, and it was hard to part with it.

The Tang army's main battle tanks had advanced and sophisticated electrical equipment, with small fire control computer systems, and their gun fire accuracy was very high, almost everywhere they pointed out. However, although the Soviet tanks were backward in electrical equipment and rely entirely on mechanical manuals, the Soviet army trained a large number of excellent tank gunners in World War II, and the design accuracy was not low, and the two sides had little gap in this regard.

However, the second-generation stable tail-shelled armor-piercing projectile fired by the Tang army's 120mm main gun is powerful, and it can penetrate the armor of the Soviet IS3 main battle tank up to 220mm and destroy it. Conversely, although the first-generation tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile fired by the Soviet 122mm main gun is also powerful. When hitting the Tang army's "Tiger" 2a8m main battle tank, half of the kinetic energy was resolved by the explosive reaction armor blocked outside the tank. The remaining half of the kinetic energy could no longer tear open the tank's own 210mm thick composite armor, and even the outermost layer of depleted uranium armor could not be broken.

As a result, not long after the tank groups on both sides fought, they saw that the Soviet tanks were destroyed.

The Soviet army was stunned. This situation was something they had never expected. They had never expected that the Tang army's tanks were so advanced.

What made them even more tragic was that the Tang army had hundreds of armed helicopters coming. These armed helicopters fired a large number of anti-tank rockets, causing huge damage to the Soviet tanks. The anti-helicopter cannons prepared by the Soviet army were difficult to lock the opponent. It would be great if one was able to shoot down for a long time.

However, the Soviet army was in a decisive battle. If they took the initiative to retreat, not to mention that Stalin could not let go of his face, they would inevitably be covered by the Tangzhong coalition forces, and the result would be even more miserable.

Therefore, the Soviet commanders gritted the bullet and ordered the continued battle, while emphasizing the beliefs of the Soviet army and boosting morale.

In this way, millions of troops from both sides fought on the desert and grasslands of tens of thousands of square kilometers in Mongolia for three days and three nights. In the end, the Soviet army lost air supremacy. Immediately, the Tang army's planes began to bomb the Soviet artillery units. The Tang army's self-propelled artillery division was maneuvering to preserve its strength. At this time, it was also counterattacking and soon wiped out the Soviet artillery groups one by one.

Without the support of air and ground artillery fire, the Soviet tank group was attacked by the Tang army's joint land and air force, and the number of tanks lost surged. However, the Soviet supply was cut off at this time, causing most of the Soviet tanks to plummet and eventually be wiped out one by one by the Tang army.

In the end, the Soviet army invested 14,000 tanks, 5,000 aircraft, 9,000 cannons, as well as a total of 800,000 troops and more than 20 million tons of supplies, but failed to win the local war in Mongolia. In the end, less than 300,000 people and 200 tanks fled back to the Soviet Union, and all the others were lost or captured. The Soviet army was completely defeated in this battle and lost all face.

The Tang Zhonglian Army won a great victory and then regained Outer Mongolia in one fell swoop. Stalin and Zhang Meng had the first words, and he always called him the most. He was defeated the most miserable. At this time, he had no shame to mobilize more Soviet troops to attack Mongolia. Instead, he was shocked by the strength of the regular troops of the Tang army. He could not defeat the nuclear war, but also the conventional troops could not defeat them. Stalin was silent. In anger, he fell ill and his old illness relapsed. Alas, the Soviet Union faced a change of leaders, and was eager to reconcile with the Tang Empire and voluntarily gave up interfering in Mongolia affairs.
