Chapter 1174: At all costs

In history, in World War II, the Soviets bombed Berlin for the first time, but it did not play a big role. It was far less dense than the daily bombings during the British and American counterattacks.
But in this era, the British had already bombed, but the effect was very poor. They were intercepted by terrible German night fighters before they reached the sky, causing heavy casualties.
Therefore, the British bombed this time without much propaganda, so that the Soviets did not know that the German night air defense force had become so powerful.
However, it is not easy for the Soviet Union to bomb Berlin.
Because the distance is too long, and the Soviets lacked such long-range bombers. This kind of mission is carried out by the naval aviation of the Pineapple Sea. However, in actual training, they extend from the base of Petersburg to the stationed of German warships. Pilao.
For the Königsberg area and a little further away, it can only take off from the main base of the Baltic Fleet in Tallinn. But now Tallinn is obviously not very safe anymore.
This is definitely an arduous task. This guy Khrushchev has no idea how to achieve it. This realization will fall on the Soviet aviation.
Stalin's gaze turned to the face of the Naval People's Commissar Kuznetsov. He did not speak, but looked at him with firm eyes.
As a result, Kuznetsov had no chance of refusing anymore. He stood up and said, "Comrade Stalin, please rest assured that we will definitely complete this task and throw our bombs into the hearts of the enemy."
The Baltic Fleet was annihilated, and the navy should retaliate. What's more, Kuznetsov is also one of the most determined personnel. It is under his leadership that the Soviet navy exudes the breath of death, so that any All of the enemies felt scared.
"We have to take off from the most western base to be possible." Kuznetsov said: "Tallinn is no longer safe, but we still have a small airport on Ezeli Island in Tallinn Bay. This is the German army. The westernmost territory of the Soviet Union that is not yet occupied. We can only use this base if we want to fly to Berlin. At the same time, we need to make other improvements."
Kuznetsov is familiar with the equipment of the navy. Although the DB-3F long-range bomber of the navy has a range of 3,800 kilometers in theory, it flies out at a constant speed at the maximum altitude, and it is still empty. Halved.
If they want to fly to Berlin, they have to reduce the bomb load. They must not waste any fuel and fly straight to Berlin without any accidents or delays, otherwise they will not be able to fly back. If the calculation is wrong Or bad luck, the sky over Berlin will become the tomb of Soviet pilots.
Soviet naval pilots can bear these. In order to win, they are fearless. After all, Americans can think of a way to carry bombers with aircraft carriers. So why can't the Soviets?
Seeing Stalin nodded in satisfaction, Kuznetsov finally expressed his worry: "Comrade Stalin, until now, Germany has not bombed our capital. If we start this head, we will never No peace."
This is what Kuznetsov is worried about.
In history, Germany first began airstrikes on Moscow. The Soviet talents were determined to retaliate. But now, the war is still going on at the border. Moscow has not sounded an air defense alarm. I don't know what the Germans are hesitating about.
Now, if this precedent is set, then the Germans will definitely be unscrupulous. The Soviets will bomb Berlin once or twice at most. Even if it succeeds, it is mainly of political significance. But after that, Moscow will definitely be bombed every day, Germany With strong strategic bombing capabilities, it can reach even the American mainland across the ocean, not to mention Moscow.
Kuznetsov was worried about this.
Stalin nodded: "Yes, the war will escalate, but when the Germans fire the first shot on the border, we should be mentally prepared. Everyone present at the scene will face the test of death at any time. We can win at any price."
When Stalin said this, he was deeply moved. This war has already begun, and the initial progress is not smooth, so that everyone can expect that the next war will be very difficult.
The country has moved into the wartime system, with countless people enlisted in the army, and reserve forces are formed in the rear. At the same time, many troops have been mobilized to the front.
For example, Yakov’s army was also transferred to Smolensk. It was almost the same as last time. After a short period of hesitation, Stalin agreed. His son was also an ordinary Soviet fighter. special.
Stalin is one such person. If necessary, he will also take up weapons and go to the battlefield by himself.
Invite the German counterattack, so what? The current Soviets need the encouragement of a victory too much~EbookFREE.me~ The bombing of Berlin is of great political significance and will inspire the hearts of the people throughout the country.
Stalin still made the final decision, and at this moment, an astonishing news spread to the base camp via radio waves.
"Comrade Stalin, Minsk has fallen."
In the early morning of April 5, the moon's stars are sparse.
Tanks galloping in the wilderness of Minsk, the huge city has now appeared in the night vision due to the influence of the war.
Karyus opened his turret, revealing half of his body.
The air inside the turret was unpleasant. I moved all the way, even if there was no battle, no smell of gun smoke, the smell of diesel volatilization was also uncomfortable. At the same time, the three men stayed in the turret and had not bathed for more than a week. , I'm sweating every day, I don't even think about the smell.
The front is Minsk. During this period of time, it has been heard that the defenders of Skok have built fortifications outside. Although our side attacked at night, a big battle would definitely break out.
Thinking of this, Caljus’s heart was full of expectation. After all, he had almost never had a decent battle when he rushed all the way. Except for the last time he killed the plane and became famous in the whole army, he There hasn't really been a big battle.
During the march, they often talked about the tank wars that broke out in Ukraine in the south, which made people bloody, and some even talked about the evil spirit of the Soviets’ Stalin tanks, which could actually bounce off their own armor-piercing bullets. Caljus was quite unconvinced, and he had to destroy a Stalin tank to let the Soviets know how powerful the German armored forces were.
"Trenches are found ahead." He had seen it by the moonlight, reminding the driver in front of him. ()
