Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
On the coast of the Black Sea, the Crimean Peninsula can be said to be the old nest of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet. The entire Black Sea Fleet of the Soviet Union, a new Soviet-class battleship and three cruisers form the core of the Black Sea Fleet. Although this fleet was blocked by Turkey in the Black Sea, it was not as honest as expected.
A few days ago, the fleet also stormed into the port of Odessa, an important port city of Ukraine occupied by the Germans, and shelled the buildings and civilians there. Because of the support of road and air planes in the Crimea region, the fleet returned to Sevastopol safely after 10 minutes of shelling.
This is definitely provoking the patience of the German commanders. Although the Germans are preparing for the battle in the Balkans, the Soviet navy must not be allowed to wreak havoc on the Romanian coast and Ukraine ’s offshore waters. Since the ground attack could not be carried out for the time being, the revenge operation was put on the agenda, and the navy was obviously weak, so this time the task was given to Catherine's air force.
So this time, Dick was ordered to perform an attack mission, and the unit that performed this attack mission was the butcher bomber unit that had not appeared for a long time. After two months of accumulation, the scale of the butcher bomber force has become even larger. The Germans now have a total of 600 such long-range strategic bombers, which can be said to be a very large strategic bomber group.
"This bombing mission doesn't look very ordinary." A ground crew sighed at the people around him while using bomb-hanging machines to hang one after another 500-kilogram aerial bombs into the aircraft's bomb bay. Road.
"Isn't it? I heard that all 40 butcher bombers at the base will take off. Except for bombing Leningrad the other day, so many bombers haven't been dispatched in a long time." A ground apprentice nodded in agreement. That ’s all, a 500-kilogram aerial bomb. "
The ground commanders next to them are recognizing their bombing targets from the photos brought back from the remote reconnaissance plane. There are ship repair factories, various fortresses and forts, airports and anti-aircraft gun positions, and even waterworks and waterworks in several nearby areas. Power plant and so on. The butcher reconnaissance aircraft can bring back reconnaissance photos at an altitude of 15,000 meters, but these photos are not easy to identify and can only provide a rough terrain analysis. German pilots will fly low below 8000 meters to take pictures when they feel safe. At this time, the photos are relatively clear, but they are easily attacked by anti-aircraft fire.
"At a height of 9000 meters, the accuracy of the bombs cannot be guaranteed. Our bombs may miss the target by a few hundred meters, and it will not pose any threat at all." A bomber bomber discussed the attack procedure with the commander: "After aiming at the target, It is best to drop bombs at a height of about 7000 meters, so as to ensure that more than half of the bombs hit the target. "
"No, Victor. The bombing scale is much larger than you think, you only need to attack the target with the most accurate bomb drop, as long as you destroy about half of the target, subsequent bombing missions can get rid of these attacks. "The enemy." The commander waved his hand and said, "The bombing takes an intensive formation and it is enough to ensure the accuracy of the attack as much as possible, understand?"
"Sir, how many planes did we use to bomb Soviet targets on the Crimean peninsula this time? How does it feel mysterious that the scale sounds bigger than the one that bombed Leningrad?" The captain of several planes He looked at his ground tower commander with questioning eyes.
"Only the general scale is known by General Dick. I only know that the butcher bombers at the four nearby airports have to take off to carry out their missions. So, let ’s say there are 150 of them?" The commander did n’t know the specific scale, but he went to fight. During the mission deployment meeting, I saw several commanders at nearby airports, so he knew that this time the German air force was quite large.
"It's really a lot." Several captains walked towards their own planes, and some bombers had already started the four huge engines on the engine wings. For a while, there was a roar of machinery throughout the airport. Pilots were reporting their fuel quantity, checking fuel tank pressure, and confirming smooth communication.
"Tower! Here is No. 141, everything is normal! Can you hear me?" The captain pressed the larynx to confirm to his ground commander whether his radio equipment was working properly.
"Airplane No. 141, I can clearly hear your voice, everything is normal, your take-off sequence is ranked first, please taxi to the standby runway." On the ground tower, the commander issued a loud voice with the intercom Following various orders, the aircraft began to taxi one after another, and soon the first aircraft flew on the long runway, followed by the second and third. In the end, all 40 bombers at the airport took off successfully, forming a spectacular formation in the sky.
Subsequently, German fighter jets that took off from the surrounding field airfields joined the butcher bomber formation and formed their own cover formation not far away, as the bomber force began to fly towards the target. It didn't take long for the German pilots to see another batch of butcher bombers taking off from the nearby airport, also escorted by a large fighter force.
After more planes came together, the German Air Force ’s strategic bomber unit, after a long baptism of the Battle of Britain, the brutal exercise of the British air combat, and the accumulation of experience in bombing Leningrad and other regions, now has the In addition to the long-range formation bombing capability, this time they gathered more than 400 butcher bombers and escorted fighters as many as 350.
The planes are converging in the sky, more and more, beyond everyone ’s imagination. The pilot flying on the far left ca n’t even see how many planes are flying on the right, while the pilots flying in the middle find themselves in their field of vision. Not to the edge of the cluster. The fighter pilots were stunned by the dense bomber formations, and some people even found cold sweat in their palms.
Hartman, the fighter pilot who carried out the mission for the first time, swallowed a spit involuntarily. Until now he only knew that in addition to the feelings of flexibility and freedom, the original flight can also have a solemn and heavy feeling and the flexibility has nothing to do with elegance It can only be described as hard and heavy, which seems to have nothing to do with flying. The huge flying formation that appeared to him at this moment reminded him of the words steel and perseverance.
The bleak air defense sirens sounded over the Crimean peninsula. When the soldiers of the Crimea came out of the barracks and looked up at the sky, they were completely stunned by the scene in front of them. For the first time these Soviet Red Army saw this For the first time in an air raid operation, I saw the plane divided into two layers, densely flying in the air. It seemed that the end of the plane formation could not be seen.
Unfortunately, these planes are here to deal with them. Just above their heads, countless bombers have begun to issue orders to open the bomb-dropping hatches full of bombs. One bomb after another was bathed in the cold air at high altitude, and the sounding device above had begun to make a sharp scream.
"I've found the target area! It's very clear. Let's start bombing!" The observer at the front reminded loudly to his comrades, and then there was a continuous response from the bomber in the earphones.
"The bombing started on 144! The bombing started on 142! The first bomb has been dropped! The second bomb was successfully thrown!" With the repeated clicks of the bomber's throwing motion rubbing the bomb body, the aviation bomb was like a raindrop Usually leaving the bomber's cabin, relying on gravity to rush toward the Soviet target on the ground.
"Boom!" Compared with the overwhelming bombers of the German army, the counterattack of the anti-aircraft artillery position near the Sevastopol fortress was no different from wailing and moaning. The shells they fired were few and they generally fell in the face of rain in the sky. The bomb is as helpless as a rifle facing dozens of machine guns.
The Germans arranged to bomb the airport and anti-aircraft positions and the butcher bombers of the city ’s civilian facilities were loaded with 125 kilograms of aerial bombs, but they carried more of them and were used to cover the attack better. This was also mixed with many napalm bombs , Used to enhance the bombing effect.
The Germans attacked the port and there were military installations and fortress bombers. They were basically carrying 500-kilogram aerial bombs, which was enough to destroy the solidly protected target area, mainly destroying military targets near Sevastopol and Chik. There are also two formations of butcher bombers specially equipped with a large number of napalm bombs, covering several large fortresses that attacked the Soviet army.
For a time, the entire city on the Crimean peninsula seemed to be transformed into hell. The building was destroyed by a bomb and collapsed. The barracks were blazed and a huge crater was blown out of the street. The anti-aircraft artillery positions were covered and attacked. After the butcher bomber passed, a formation of 110 Stuttgart-2 attack aircraft once again patronized these air defense facilities and completely transformed each Soviet anti-aircraft gun into a pile of scrap iron.
The huge crane in the port was hit by a bomb, lit a fire and collapsed, hitting a destroyer moored in the port, the destroyer broke into two pieces and sank to the bottom of the sea, and the oil depot on the shore was also bombed. It detonated, igniting a fire that covered the sky and the sun, and billowed thick smoke.
The Black Sea Fleet escaped this unprecedented bombing because it was near the red cuts. However, the bases of the Soviet Navy near the Black Sea were basically unable to escape bad luck. The Sevastopol military port was almost in ruins. Lost the ability to be a port.
The power of the strategic bomber was once again manifested. In this intensive attack, the Germans basically destroyed the air defense system of Kerim, forced the arrogant Soviet Black Sea Fleet, and controlled the air control of the Crimean Peninsula for the Germans. Very solid foundation.
