According to the original itinerary, Li Shaoyi should have stayed here for four days and then went back. On the last day, Zhang Jiahua came in with great interest. We couldn't just let the commander-in-chief see our attitude in the barracks. The commander-in-chief has so many things to do every day, so we have to let the commander-in-chief see our actual combat.

"I do want to see your combat capabilities, but please don't let your performance interfere with your original battle plan."

Li Shaoyi has said this several times, but judging by the expression on Zhang Jiahua's face, he shouldn't be that stupid.

"Marshal, don't worry. I can tell the difference between big and small. Two infantry regiments and an artillery regiment arrived forty kilometers northwest of us last night. I don't know which infantry division they belong to, but they should be the vanguard of the East Siberian Military District. The Air Force has also conducted reconnaissance. The nearest military camp is still forty-five kilometers away. At the speed of the Russian support, they should take an hour and a half to travel those forty-five kilometers. I am confident that this battle can be over within an hour and a half."

Zhang Jiahua marked a mark on the map to let the Marshal see the actual combat effectiveness of their army. This was also the wish of all the brothers this time. The Marshal had so many troops under his command, and being able to personally watch us launch a surprise attack and return victorious in the rear command room was something many people wanted to do. Who didn't want to show off in front of their superiors?

"No, cancel this battle plan immediately. I know what you're thinking, but we can't do this. You have to understand that we're on foreign soil. The chances of something going wrong within the forty kilometers are very high. My requirement for you is to hold this position firmly and take the initiative. It's not that I can't, but I absolutely cannot take any risks."

It took Li Shaoyi more than ten minutes to review the entire combat plan. It seemed flawless, but in the eyes of insiders, there were also considerable risks involved.

Zhang Jiahua didn't look anxious. To be honest, he had seen the plan and it was risky, but if the brothers were more cautious, the risk could be minimized.

"You'll have a chance to demonstrate your abilities in the future. I won't be watching this time. After the Air Force reconnaissance planes arrive one after another and conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance of the surrounding area, we'll launch an external assault and annihilate the enemy's active forces during the movement. Right now, the Air Force reconnaissance planes haven't all arrived yet, so there are still many gray shadows around..."

Li Shaoyi pointed to most of the gray shadow areas on the map and said that these places could not be surveyed three times a day. At most, we could only survey once every two days. This was because the land of Luosha was so vast and we did not have so many reconnaissance planes coming over.

"The commander-in-chief is right. You won't be able to see it this time, but you have to understand the enthusiasm of your brothers..."

Zhang Jiahua said a little embarrassedly that his brothers were constantly dressing, and he also believed that these brothers could reduce the danger to the lowest level, so he came to Li Shaoyi to ask for a fight.

Just as the two were talking, a sharp alarm sounded outside. Li Shaoyi saw from Zhang Jiahua's eyes that this guy seemed to be unaware of the situation.

"Reporting to the Marshal, reporting to the Brigade Commander, a Rakshasa air force has been spotted traveling from the north to the south. They have arrived fifteen kilometers to our north..."

Hearing this, both of them were shocked instantly. It was just as Li Shaoyi said, before the reconnaissance plane arrived, the gray shadow part could always give us surprises, but this time the surprise was a bit big.

"Notify all combat aircraft to take off immediately. The alert aircraft currently circling overhead should immediately go over and intercept them."

When encountering such a situation, Li Shaoyi would step back and hand over the command to the local commander. When Zhang Jiahua saw Li Shaoyi nod, he immediately issued a combat order. The twelve BF109 fighters circling above their heads immediately received the task and pounced to the north like hungry wolves. No matter how many Rakshasa planes were in front of them, they had to hold on to buy time for their brothers at the rear airport.

All air defense forces also immediately entered combat status. From the first day they arrived here, the first thing Zhang Jiahua arranged was air defense operations. The Rakshasa army was far away from here, and it would take time to come over from the ground, but it was different for the air force, and they would arrive in the time it takes to eat a meal.

Therefore, the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns scattered throughout the military camp will be of use if enemy planes come in.

The observation post in the north sent back various messages one after another, indicating that there were about twenty-five bombers and about twenty fighter jets.

After hearing this number, Zhang Jiahua and Li Shaoyi also breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Li Shaoyi did not enter the underground bunker. With these twenty or so bombers, if he were to enter the underground bunker, it would be a joke if it were spread out. Li Shaoyi came to a nearby air defense position. The five 88mm anti-aircraft guns around it had already organized an air defense matrix.

"Target due north, direction 301, ready..."

Listening to the command of the air defense officer, Li Shaoyi saw that the positions of several anti-aircraft guns were consistent and they moved in an orderly manner. It seemed that they had put in a lot of effort in their daily work, otherwise they would not be able to do this.

"put…"

Following the order from the anti-aircraft officer, five artillery pieces fired simultaneously, and several dark shadows appeared in the distant sky. Li Shaoyi could see clearly through the telescope that the shrapnel that exploded at the predetermined position instantly hit a Rakshasa bomber.

Our combat aircraft had begun to engage in a fight with their fighter planes further north. The Rakshasa bombers found an opportunity and thought they could bomb our positions, but they were met with overwhelming fire from the ground. Many Rakshasa bombers had already started to emit smoke from their tails and other parts before they could figure out what was going on.

After the soldiers fired a shell, they quickly reloaded it. The army's air defense weapons still need to be operated manually, but some of the navy's have achieved semi-automatic loading.

When the 88mm anti-aircraft gun was loading shells, the surrounding 40mm anti-aircraft guns began to roar.

From Li Shaoyi's position, he saw countless artillery shells flying towards the sky, creating small black flowers one after another in the sky.

You have to know that this thing doesn't just produce smoke. Within a certain range, there are shrapnel from explosions everywhere. If a passing plane is hit by two or three of them, it will probably be unable to move forward.

More than half of the twenty or so Rakshasa bombers were already damaged, but six of them still began to dive down without hesitation, intending to bomb our positions...
