In the sky to the west, a solitary plane flew up. Under the shining sun, the entire plane turned red, so that the five red stars under its wings could not be seen at all.
Aranov vigorously shook the height of his 85mm antiaircraft gun, listening to the command of the antiaircraft artillery squad leader.
It takes several people to operate an antiaircraft gun. Until now, they have had no results. Just yesterday, they fired less than ten rounds in the air. The enemy Stuka bomber swooped down and brought their high The artillery position was blasted up and down, and there was still a **** smell on the current high and low planes, which was left by the previous gunner.
The blue veins on Aranov’s arms violently shook, and he quickly shook the anti-aircraft artillery into place. At this time, the squad leader had issued a firing order: "Five bursts, let go!"
"Boom, boom!" The 85mm antiaircraft gun had a black smoke coming out of its muzzle. Every time it fired, the whole body of the gun was sitting backwards, making the gunners on the gun feel like they were on a boat.
In the violent shaking, one by one 85mm shells flew towards the enemy plane in the sky.
In the past, the German bombers were quite vigilant. As long as one opened fire, the other side would be able to find it, and then quickly evade. But this time, I don’t know why, the other side had no defense and was still flying straight. Airline, this is simply a target.
"Boom!" An 85mm high artillery shell came into close contact with the enemy plane. The enemy plane was knocked off half of its wing in an instant, and it rolled and fell down.
At this time, there were screams everywhere on the bomber.
"What's the matter? Have the Germans already occupied Estonia?"
"Oh, parachuting!"
On the tumbling bomber, everyone was messed up. They wanted to grab the umbrella bag, and wanted to open the cabin door and jump down. However, their bodies continued to tumble with the bomber, and there was no chance.
The bomber rolled and fell down, hitting the ground a few kilometers away from the antiaircraft artillery position and igniting a raging fire.
"Let's go, take a look!" The extremely excited Aranov, riding a commuter bicycle on the side, rushed to the place where the bomber crashed, and stopped just before he was there. Up.
The truncated wing was right in front of his eyes. The wing was painted with a red five-star mark.
...
Kuznetsov stayed up all night.
The bombing of Berlin is a mission of far-reaching political significance. It will inspire the confidence of the Soviet people in victory and will become a great turning point for the Soviets. Kuznetsov is convinced of this.
However, the task did not go smoothly.
When taking off, due to runway problems and aircraft mechanical failures, some aircraft did not take off, and even caused a certain sacrifice. Even so, the remaining aircraft took off without hesitation.
As long as there is such a fighting spirit, the Soviets will not perish.
Kuznetsov was proud of those who did not fear to sacrifice, and worried about the rest. Now, the time to return to the voyage has passed, and there is no good news.
"Marshal, good news, finally there is news." While he was waiting anxiously, Lieutenant General Zafaronov ran in: "We have a P-8 bomber, which ran out of fuel and crashed onto a river bed. , The pilots are returning to the base."
Lieutenant Petri’s bomber did not enter the German airspace due to engine failure. He randomly found a target, dropped a bomb, and successfully returned. They just lost their way and did not find a base to return. In the end, the fuel ran out and they had to make a forced landing.
Fortunately, they made an emergency landing near Petersburg and within the Soviet line of control. They are working hard to return to the air base in Petersburg.
"Did they successfully bomb Berlin?" Kuznetsov asked.
"No, their aircraft engine failed and only bombed a German bridge." Lieutenant General Zafaronov said.
What use is that! Kuznetsov's excitement just now was soothed by a scoop of cold water.
"Marshal, Comrade Stalin invites you to come." At this moment, Kuznetsov received news from the Kremlin.
When Kuznetsov entered the Kremlin, he saw that everyone's faces were not very good.
"How is our bombing operation going?" Stalin asked Kuznetsov.
"Now we are still waiting for the news, only one PE-8 successfully returned to the flight, but it did not blow up to Berlin." Kuznetsov said.
"It seems that our news is not as good as the German broadcast!" Stalin sighed.
Germany’s initial offensive was quite violent, and many troops were broken up, especially the Central Route Army, and the current troops of the Western Special Military Region were unable to grasp their whereabouts. In many cases, Stalin relied on German broadcasts. Certainly, for example, how many Soviet troops the Germans eliminated, and where did the German troops attack.
As an army leader, it is absolutely ironic that he wants to control his troops' whereabouts from the enemy's broadcast.
"Most of the German broadcasts are fake." Khrushchev said to the side: "No news is good news. Maybe our other planes are also lost or run out of fuel. Wait, there will always be There is good news."
This plan was proposed by Khrushchev. Although he did not implement it specifically, if he encounters a complete failure, he will also be thrown into the cold.
Several German broadcasts have come out that are related to the bombing.
For example, last night, the German coastal defense artillery shot down some bombers that invaded, and another example, the German night fighter force shot down a number of bombers.
However, the Germans did not say how many. Our own bombers were intercepted by the opponent, which is acceptable. The main thing now depends on how many bombers are left to bomb Berlin.
Even if only one bombed to Berlin, it was considered a success~www.novelhall.com~Soviets could use this to make a fuss.
"Good news, good news." At this moment, Golikov, who is in charge of intelligence work, hurriedly walked in and said: "Our intelligence personnel in Berlin risked death and sent a message. In the early hours of this morning, Berlin suddenly The air defense sirens were sounded and the lights were controlled."
Berlin's response was obviously that the Soviet bombers had arrived, and it seemed that there were still bomber forces flying to Berlin.
"The result? What was the result?" Stalin asked excitedly: "Did they bomb Berlin? Did they bomb the Führer's House?"
Golikov shook his head: "Berlin's anti-aircraft artillery shot down two of our bombers. Only one successfully dropped the bomb, but the bomb deviated from the target and hit the outskirts of Berlin."
"Only three bombers have arrived in Berlin?" Kuznetsov asked. After nearly 30 have taken off, only one-tenth of the bombers have arrived. This ratio is too low.
"The last one, did you fly back?" Khrushchev was also very anxious. When it bombed the suburbs, it was also bombed. Moreover, in his propaganda, he would definitely not say bombing the suburbs, he would say that it bombed Berlin, his target. , Still reached.
Those pilots who fly back will definitely be treated like heroes. The Soviets are proud of them.
Of course he didn't fly back. At this time, the news that he had mistakenly hit his own bomber in Estonia hadn't come up yet.
Stalin put down his smoking pot: "Now, the news of this victory can be sent to the whole country. Last night, in the battle of our brave and fearless pilots, they successfully bombed Berlin. Let the whole country cheer for the news. !"
In any case, it bombed Berlin. The Soviets needed too much good news of victory, which was inspiring. ()
