"Comrade Stalin, I am sure that those I encountered wearing Red Army uniforms and occupying the bridge were Thunder International. Because of their actions, we were unable to blow up the bridges on the river in time and failed to stop the advance of Denikin's troops!"

Beria stood respectfully in front of Stalin, explaining the reasons for the failure of this battle after his internal affairs investigation.

It seems that the emergence of the "Super Fox Team" is the fundamental reason for the failure of the Red Army this time.

As for the opponent's armored cluster, the better ground-air cooperation than the Red Army, including the cavalry army used by the Red Army, which only established defense lines for field fortifications, these unfavorable factors are not the reason.

The only reason for the defeat of the Red Army was the emergence of the "Super Fox Team".

However, this excuse for the significant losses caused by the originally few armored forces caused by his pursuit of the "Super Fox Team" did not hide from Stalin's gray steel eyes.

But as for Stalin, he was more willing to blame the defeat for the "Thunder International" for interference in the battle situation. At least in this regard, it is more in line with the requirements of his political allies.

"Well, very good! Comrade Belia, I thank you for your efforts in the investigation. But the results of this investigation are not allowed to be conveyed by other officers except for the commanders of each division. You must know that they are still our allies! For the time being, we still need this reactionary force to block Denikin's attack for us, and they are about to arrive, pay attention to monitoring their actions!"

"Yes, Comrade Stalin!"

After leaving Stalin's office, Belia was satisfied with the praise she received for today's report. He was not a simple-minded person. At least he understood that Stalin had no good feelings for "Thunder International" and the "evil power" that manipulated him later.

"I really want to meet that Satan Eagle. Although he is a bastard, his war plan is really clever! Look at what these guys do, they are some cunning guys!"

This is naturally the people who plan the entire combat plan are all those who are playing with war conspiracies and tricks with natural talents.

The overall plan for "Thunder International" to enter Russia's combat was planned by Tang Yunyang, Jiang Baili, the chief of staff of the "Federal Defense Forces", and the deputy chief of staff of the "Thunder International", Manstein, and the Manstein. It is a completely interlocking and continuous action plan.

The end of the previous action is the signal that the latter action begins, and the previous action is also a cover for the latter action.

The infiltration of the "Extreme Fox Team" gave Thunder International a reason to enter Russia to fight against Denikin's troops. The airborne of the lightweight division made everyone who was concerned about this focus on Donbas City.

At this time, airships pass through Kazakhstan without asking for Russia with "Thunder International" or the Chinese Federation. They will naturally put pressure on the Bolshevik government of Kazakhstan so that they cannot interfere with the air transport of the Chinese Federation.

The Federal Defense Forces' "Air Assault Division" captured Almaty, the capital of Kazakhstan from the unimpeded sky, and made people suspect that the main force of the "Thunder National Defense" - the Tank Brigade and the Heavy Brigade - targeted Almaty.

Even if Russia does not interfere, it will take at least a long time. However, no one guessed that the heavy infantry brigade of "Thunder International" almost did not stop and immediately launched a battle to "take root" in Russia.

In fact, it is no wonder that these politicians and generals are unable to predict. Who in this world can dispatch hundreds of airships to carry out such extremely long-distance military operations?

"So, the size of Thunder International's combat results does not rely entirely on their air power and ground armor clusters. Large-scale maneuvers can appear on the opponent's weak links at any time. There is no better way to prevent such strikes except for being too powerful air power!"

Please don't worry, this idea obviously comes from the generals, not from Beria's thoughts.

Patton sat on the sofa in the small living room where the Eagle airship was converted into a war room, silently speaking. Instead, his adjutant was chasing Anne Taylor with his eyes and attentiveness, who had no work to do.

Tang Yunyang is surrounded by members of the "Thunder International" headquarters, and from time to time, there are adjutants and staff members who send them the latest information on the battle situation.

Directly in front of the airship group, heavy airships are carrying out boat landing operations. Relatively speaking, the landing location happens to be in the plains on the east side of the Don River.

This is the gap between Denikin's troops and the Red Army's defense line. After all, no one side has such a powerful force, covering the entire front. Therefore, it is not difficult to find a place to land on the plain.

But as far as Patton was concerned, he was worried about how to cross the wide river. While he was holding a cigar in his mouth and while he was thinking silently, Tang Yunyang's adjutant Li Yu appeared beside everyone.

"Sir, Brigade Commander An, the news that the re-equipped brigade has begun to cross the river and is expected to be completed within two hours!"

"What, this is impossible!"

This was the first reaction in Patton's intuition. Although he believed that in terms of the combat capabilities of "Thunder International", a river was not a natural danger, but the forward had just landed, so why did he start crossing the river? Even if it was a floating bridge, didn't it need to be built?

"This is the first time I have used the new style ferry bridge. After landing, we will go over and take a look!"

With Tang Yunyang's order, the Eagle airship began to lower its altitude.

When Patton stepped onto the ground, he couldn't help but be amazed at the speed of the "Thunder International" soldiers using the fast front to build the base.

The cement components transported directly by the airship are all rectangular boxes with steel and cement texture. The airship uses ropes and puts them at designated locations according to the command of the small flags in the hands of the ground personnel.

Then, the opened "boxes" and those folded cement boards need to be adjusted to the angle, and they become the most basic "fast front" bunker, like a super-large "benbox box". This is a bunker with a steel and concrete structure that is 10 meters long and three meters wide.

Then there is the hexagonal cement pipe that comes with the "box" and is also made of steel and cement. The layers are placed on the outside of the "benbox box" and arranged in the shape of a hive. Finally, fill in the digging nearby soil and cover the top cover. This is the kind of "hard, soft and hard" composite armor that these bunkers have.

A sturdy "fast front" bunker that can withstand large-caliber artillery shooting is built so simply. Only some sandbags need to be piled outside, and the defense will be further improved.

This kind of "construction" is not carried out one by one. A 35-ton airship can put down 5 sets of such "cement components" at a time, and 5 bunkers can be built at the same time. Each bunker is constructed by a trained infantry squad, which is exactly as fast as an industrial assembly line.

"In addition to preventing them from landing, the only reliable way to deal with such an open base is to launch a powerful attack within one hour of their landing. Otherwise, when a bunker group is built using the "Quick Front", as long as the materials are abundant, a light infantry brigade can easily resist 2 to 3 times the attack of the enemy!

It is only because they have such a number of airships that they can do this. It seems that the US military does not equip airships is indeed a big mistake!”

As for this battle, this airborne point was selected a month ago. As for the terrain, there have been aerial photos taken back by airships that come and go in the Russian sky all day long as they are used as reference for choosing a base.

At this time, it was not far from the Don River, and the terrain was flat and suitable for establishing field airports and the mobility of armored troops. Within 10 kilometers nearby, there was no trace of both the Red Army and the Dunnikin's troops.

"Within one hour of the start of the airborne operation, what kind of troops can arrive in time? It's not easy to attack them!"

The headquarters of "Thunder International" is not bloated. Apart from the necessary department officers, there is only one reconnaissance battalion that uses bicycles and jeeps as an affiliate to protect the safety of the headquarters.

With the landing of the headquarters, they have begun to enter the bunkers of the built "Quick Front" and perform their own tasks. A rectangle roughly delineated by the "Quick Front" is the space of the entire base, where heavy artillery has been unfolded.

There are still 15 105mm and 10 122mm howitzers, which are more troops from the heavy brigade and the tank brigade than the light brigade. The difference between the heavy artillery of the two troops is still that the chassis used by the two troops is the same as their own armored vehicles or tanks, which is a requirement of vehicle maturity.

At this time, both the entire base and the nearby areas were already safe. The "Flying Front" and the "Meteor" bombers bombed all the nearby troops that could be found. At this moment, they were busy avoiding bombs, but they didn't bother to send scouts.

The convoy formed by armored vehicles and jeeps quickly headed to the riverside, only 3 kilometers away from the open space base. There, Yu An Jinchi and his chief of staff were waiting for the airships in the sky to set up a pontoon bridge for them.

A battalion of heavy infantry simply airborne the opposite side as planned. At this time, they had established a "fast front" and established a 500-square-meter bridgehead base.

The airship transporting the floating bridge appeared in the sky, and the square floating boxes made of fiberglass were hung in strings under the airship. For the rest, you only need to fix the steel cables on both sides of the floating barrels at both ends of the river bank, and then tighten it and lay a floating bridge.

Looking at these, Patton thought of an interesting question.
