The battle of integrated air-grounds depends on overall effectiveness. To put it simply, it is to sublimate the main body of the war from the ground to the air with higher scientific and technological content.

The side without air supremacy is destined to suffer losses in such battles. The Soviet army lost air supremacy, so their artillery theory was useless at the beginning of the war.

In this regard, the Soviet army was completely fundamentally different from the European and American forces in terms of composition.

The Soviet Union emphasized that artillery and ground support firepower were used to implement it with overwhelming artillery. The artillery had a very high status in the Soviet army and was also well equipped.

Under normal circumstances, the Soviet Union's ideal war was based on large-scale armored cluster advancement and artillery troops followed behind to support.

As for the air force in this war mode, it is actually an auxiliary force. The Soviet army's mission to the air force is very simple, which is to destroy an intercepting force that uses the air force to interfere with the ground forces.

To put it bluntly, the Soviet army thought of not fighting three-dimensional wars 70 years ago. They hoped to turn the war into a graphic war in which all major armies fought on their own.

The Air Force fights the Air Force mainly to stop the opponent's air force bombers and prevent these bombers from interfering with the ground forces.

When a navy fights an opponent's navy, it is enough to interfere with the opponent's navy before the victory or defeat is decided on the ground battlefield, so that the opponent cannot make full use of the ocean.

This theory is about subtraction to three-dimensional warfare: I don’t let you use air superiority, my advantage on the ground can be reflected.

Before 1970, this theory was very effective and could make up for the huge shortcomings in the Air Force and Navy.

As long as the Air Force maintains an advantage in the number of fighter jets, as long as the Army wins before these frontline fighters are consumed and lost - this is the core tactical idea of ​​the Soviet Union.

From another direction, it can be a good explanation for why the Soviet MiG-21, MiG-25, and later MiG-29 fighters were all front-line fighters.

The reason is very simple. The Soviet army does not need powerful long-range air combat aircraft or escort fighters at all. It only needs to intercept the "interceptors" or "front-line fighters" of the opponent's fighters and bombers.

SU-27 is an alternative. After discovering that this theory doesn't work, it catches up with the copying work developed by the United States.

Because the Soviet army firmly believed that its army could kill any opponent, their number and equipment advantage were still there. Tens of thousands of tanks swept across Europe without the interference of the enemy, and they could easily win.

From this perspective, Germany is actually the best teacher of the Soviet Union. Goring's tactical air force thought was better inherited and developed in the hands of the Soviet enemy.

During World War II, the Luftwaffe had always been suffering from lack of strategic resources and could only play the pitiful tactical air force. The problem of short legs of fighter jets could not be solved from beginning to end, and there were no long-range bombers to use.

Until around 1970, the Soviet Union was still in the Luftwaffe state of World War II: it only had air defense forces and fighter interceptors.

What's even more exaggerated is that the Soviet Air Force does not even have many tasks to support the ground. They are only responsible for intercepting the opponent's air force and destroying ground targets, and mainly rely on ground forces to complete it.

In fact, before the reform and opening up, the Chinese military also had this theory. The artillery theory was used in many self-defense counterattacks and did not suffer much loss, so it has never been questioned.

Until the outbreak of the Gulf War in 1990, the leap in the quality of weapons and equipment brought about by the development of the Great Air Force theory and electronic information technology made the traditional planarized war of "fighting on their own" unsustainable.

The Gulf War awakened the Chinese army. In the later development, China's electronic technology kept up with the development and progress of the times, and also promoted a great leap forward-looking mass leap in China's weapons and equipment in the 21st century.

Because the Soviet Union believed in its own "fallacies" and its industrial level stopped moving forward, it finally lagged behind in the field of electronic information technology, which made Soviet weapons and equipment lag behind in the era.

Now, because of Li Le's arrival, the Libyan oil fields, and the oil projects that Saudi Arabia may have developed, the Germans have already started to play the Air Force and strategic bombing.

But I knew that I had the power to be in the Soviet Union, but my level of intercepting fighter jets was still insufficient.

The I-16 fighter jet is probably impossible to be an opponent of the German ME-109 and FW-190. What's more, the Soviet Union's La-7 and other better-performance fighters have not yet entered service, and the German army has already used terrifying aerial monsters like TA-152.

If the Soviet Union had indeed developed aircraft such as the MiG-3 or the Zela-7, it might have been seen in the sky with the German Crow fighter.

That must be an unforgettable scene: before the Soviet pilots who got the new fighter plane had time to be happy, they were immediately killed by the jet fighter of the Third Reich...

The JU-88 bomber flew over the battlefield, making the attacking Soviet tankers a little at a loss.

They saw Red Takachi just in front of them, but this short distance of less than one kilometer became an insurmountable gap.

During the one-hour battle, the Soviet Union lost a total of 1,000 people and destroyed only 100 tanks of various models.

But they only advanced less than one kilometer, killed about 50 German troops, and destroyed about a dozen German tank and armored vehicles.

The commander of the Soviet Rokosovsky cluster, who was commanding the front line, were shocked by such a cruel battle.

He thought that he was supervising the battle on the front line and investing in the most elite main force of the Soviet army could turn around the situation in front of him.

He had told his adjutant before that although this battle would be difficult, he firmly believed that his troops could win the final victory.

But now it seems that his estimate is still too optimistic: Red Takachi is still under the control of the German army, and his attack has not yet worked.

He grabbed the radio telephone, and in the stuffy tank, Rokosovsky gritted his teeth and shouted to all the Soviet commanders who could hear: "Give me a full attack! At all costs, attack Red Tkacchi!"

"Attack! For the Soviets!" A Soviet commander struggled to get up from the crater, waving his pistol and pointing forward.

Around him, countless Soviet soldiers stood up, holding rifles, lit up bright bayonets, shouting slogans, and launching even more crazier charges.
