848 good weather

"Maybe, we have been silent for too long, so long that people forget our existence!" Standing in an open space, an officer in a general's uniform said with his hands behind his back and looking at his subordinates.

His adjutant smiled and then replied: "The Head of State has lifted the ban on us and declared that it can carry out combat missions."

"Very good! I think it's good!" The general nodded, looked at the dark clouds that had dissipated above his head, and said, "Since the Soviets forgot us, let's remind them who is the master of this war!"

"Order the Imperial Air Force strategic bomber unit formed by the Head of State and the Marshal to carry out the strategic bombing mission in Moscow. It is time to show our strength!" After the general finished speaking, he walked towards the buildings in the distance.

It was a German strategic air force base built near the city of Minsk. Not only did it cover a huge area, but at least 100 German strategic bombers were also parked.

These air fortresses, which were imitated from the US B-17 strategic bombers and had only slightly changed, are simply new killer weapons held by the German Air Force.

After seeing the formation of this air force, Gorene confidently said to his subordinate Marshal Kesselin: "I can destroy one city at a time!"

In the direction close to the front line, the Luftwaffe gathered a total of 300 JU-118 strategic bombers, which can deliver thousands of tons of bombs at one time. Even the United States does not have this kind of bombing capability now.

The Luftwaffe, which had been depressed for a long time, took off the first round of bombers and carried out the ground bombing mission when it was cleared up.

The first batch of more than 400 Stuka dive bombers and more than 200 escorted FW-190D fighters became the nightmare of the Soviet army.

The Soviet ground troops, which relied on the rainy weather, quickly collapsed and turned into a messy retreat.

Fortunately, Rokosovsky's main force had retreated to Tula, otherwise the elite troops south of Moscow might face a disaster.

Now, the field airport near the front line is still busy, and the ground crew on the runway is busy mounting bombs for the JU-88 bomber and preparing for a new round of bombing of enemy positions.

After three days of rest, the Luftwaffe was full of energy and enjoyed the movie and wine, the soldiers were full of fighting spirit and confidence!

Originally, the Soviet Air Force on the Eastern Front was weaker than the British Air Force, and was simply vulnerable under the attack of the German ace pilot.

In this case, who is willing to rest? Everyone is thinking of shooting down a few more enemy planes so that they can get the qualifications of the Super Ace Pilot as soon as possible.

The head of state stipulated that ace pilots who shot down 100 enemy planes could receive the title of super ace. Such a pilot could wear a red medal to commemorate the legendary pilot Richterhofen of World War I.

Many pilots have already won this medal because Soviet pilots on the Eastern Front often took off blindly and fought back and were shot down by German planes.

You should know that the Soviet Air Force was completely at a disadvantage in terms of tactics, flight skills, and aircraft performance.

Therefore, the German ace pilots did not even require too many tactics to attack these Soviet pilots. As long as you cut in at high speed and break the opponent's formation, you can shoot down these panicked rookies like hunting.

The Soviet pilots suffered heavy losses, and after the war started, the main air force was killed by seven or eight out of ten.

So now the Soviet pilots who took off to fight against the Luftwaffe are all real novices who have just learned to fly and do not have much combat effectiveness.

If it is in the battle with Britain in Britain, the pilots will try their best to have a break, because the battle is often intense.

Even if you know the weaknesses of the British Air Force Spitfire fighter jets, it is not easy to shoot down these British pilots.

Dowding cherished his pilot very much. If it weren't for being disrupted by the shadow and losing his competencies in the battles such as cross-sea attack on Brest Port, the losses of the elite British pilots were not huge.

However, the nightmare of British pilots has passed, and it is a wonderful time to hunt Soviet pilots!

The entire battlefield was full of patrol German fighters, and the sky ruled by the Iron Cross, and only the Iron Cross could fly!

Over the farm, over the trenches, flocks of FW-190D fighters roared past, often attacking the targets they saw with small bombs they carried.

This is a nightmare for the Soviet ground forces. They often encounter German fighter jets that dive strafing, which is extremely unscrupulous.

Who said that the Soviet Air Force had thousands of fighter jets on the front line, but most of them were I-16 fighters with extremely poor performance?

"Woo... twist!" After intense preparation, the first engine rotated rapidly, followed by the second and third ones, and finally the fourth propeller also rotated so hard that it was difficult to see clearly.

The huge wings moved slowly on the runway, and the co-pilots who had just trained were repeating the captain's command over and over again.

They need to learn the skills of formation in flight and learn how to control the takeoff, landing and flying of this type of aircraft - they want to become new captains in the future and command their own JU-118 strategic bomber!

Because the aircraft is too big, the vibration of the engine being rotated to the fuselage is no longer obvious. This is also related to the weight of the bomb mounted. The current JU-118 bomber is a giant of more than ten tons!

Its spacious fuselage that allows pilots to crawl inside has an oversized bomb bay. The bomb bay is now full of bombs, and every one is!

These bombs must be thrown into Moscow City. In order to reduce the losses of the aircraft, the bomber formation used high-altitude bombing, with a bombing height of more than 8,000 meters!

At this height, few anti-aircraft guns can fire. Even Germany itself only has a small number of 128mm caliber anti-aircraft guns that can hit higher places.

The famous 88mm caliber cannon with the largest number of equipment, although the firing height is sufficient, the interceptable area becomes smaller and smaller as the firing height increases, so that the defense area is severely reduced.

In real historical time and space, the German army equipped with tens of thousands of anti-aircraft guns still seemed to be insufficient in the face of bombing by the Allied forces. This is why.

This time, the strategic bomber troops of the Luftwaffe almost came out in full swing, with the purpose of making the Soviet defenders in Moscow feel the despair they should have felt long ago!

Under the bright sunshine, one JU-118 bomber after another began to take off, carrying countless bombs, flying into the distance...
