Rokosovsky encountered great trouble. The Bryansk Front's ground troops lost their fighter opportunities because of his wrong judgment. Now, with the Germans retreating rapidly and the troops behind the temple swearing to block the death, the Bryansk Front had no choice.

Of course, neither the Politburo nor the Military Commission would miss this opportunity to turn the tables. Soon Li Xiaofeng's request was passed. The Red Army concentrated its powerful air force and prepared to use a scattered air attack to drag the tanks to the first and second clusters.

"The enemy's air strikes are very fierce," Guderian wrote in his diary. "As soon as the sky is dawn, groups of bombers and attack aircraft will hover over my head and attack all the targets they found. From a tank, a car, to a small man and a horse, all exposed targets will be ruthlessly attacked by the Russian Air Force. In desperation, Klester and I could only order the troops to lie down on the day and go out at night..."

Logically speaking, the Germans were all hiding out at night. This should be good news for the ground forces of the Red Army that were pursuing, right? But it was not that simple, because the German army behind the palace was very tenacious and was scrambling at all costs. Often, a fox pit and a trench had to change hands repeatedly dozens of times.

Faced with the German army as tenacious as steel, even Rokosovsky had to sigh: "What we are facing is a group of Nazi bandits with strong will and no fear of death. If we want to defeat them, it will cost a huge price!"

The tragic blocking war lasted for three days. It was not until the last German tank and the last anti-tank gun were destroyed that the defense line was declared collapse. However, these three days gave Guderian and Kleist the possibility of escaping. When the Red Army's armored forces worked hard to break through the obstacles, Guderian and Kleist's main force had already escaped to Pochop.

In this regard, both Rokosovsky and Alqueznis seemed very regretful. Because they had done their best, the armored troops rushed fiercely at all costs, and the air force even devoted all their efforts to air strikes. But who made the enemy tenacious?

In desperation, they could only find a way for Bochop. If they could destroy several key bridges in Bochop's city, they could also gain a certain amount of time. So the Air Force once again began a crazy gap, the most important of which was the railway bridge in Bochop. If this bridge could be destroyed, it would mean that the German army's most important escape route was cut off. From the very beginning, the Air Force regarded the railway bridge as a key target.

Of course, the Germans also knew the importance of this railway bridge, so they arranged powerful air defense firepower around the bridge, which was simply a fire hedgehog! The 150th Regiment of Porbin was the task of destroying this fire hedgehog.

Before introducing the heroic deeds of the regiment, it is necessary to mention Porbin. On January 27, 1905, Porbin was born in prison. Yes, his mother was considered a revolutionary and was thrown into the prison of the hometown of Sinbiersk, the middle-stream city of Volga.

It's strange that the son of this authentic Russian farmer was obsessed with flying very early on, even though the work he did when he became an adult was basically completely unrelated to machinery and aviation (Porbin was barely involved in machinery and machinery. The odd job he had worked on a narrow-gauge railway for several months).

However, at the age of 22, Porbin began to turn his dream into reality. He first joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1927 and then joined the Red Army. In the army, he expressed his desire to become a pilot to his superiors, but he did not receive a good basic education. He also seemed less solid in his body. He worked for two years before he was allowed to go to the Aviation Academy.

In the aviation school, Polpin performed extremely well. When he graduated in 1932, he was one of the few people who were directly held as instructors because of his outstanding quality. At the beginning, Polpin was driving a TB-3 and became the squadron leader of the bomber squadron at the age of 32.

Afterwards, Porbin participated in the Battle of Nomencan and the Spanish Civil War. During this period, he found that the so-called rapid bombing of SB-2 was of no use, and promptly guided the troops to change the bombing tactics to avoid losses, and was awarded the Lenin Medal.

When the Patriotic War broke out, Polpin had become the commander of the 150th Aviation Bombing Regiment and began to change into Su-2 dive bombers. During the battle, Polpin was thinking about tactical issues. He found that the early Su-2 dive bombers had an inexplicable problem. That is, when the pilot made side rolling actions under specific circumstances, the aircraft often showed a strong tendency to roll continuously to the right.

For the rookie pilots of the Red Army at that time, this was a fatal problem. If not done properly, the plane would be destroyed and people would be killed. This problem was so common that the General Equipment Department had to send specialists to verify the problem. But what was speechless was that the sudden outbreak of the Patriotic War gave the Red Army no time to correct this problem. It could only warn all troops equipped with Su-2: pilots were strictly prohibited from rolling sideways during flight to avoid the planes falling into dangerous continuous rolling.

To be honest, this "solution" solution is equivalent to not having a solution. Side rolling is a very important maneuvering action and is very important for attack aircraft. Not rolling sideways can be said to be equivalent to limiting one-third of Su-2's combat effectiveness.

Faced with this problem, most regiment commanders and division commanders chose to honestly execute low-level orders from the top, but Porbin was different. When they learned that the young pilot in his regiment had violated the ban, he did not slam the table like other regiment commanders, cursed or simply put them in custody. Instead, he asked: "How did you avoid rolling continuously and standing in front of me alive? How did you do it? What was the reaction of flying? Then how did you control the plane?"

Polpin has always believed that prescriptions are much better than pretending to be deaf and dumb. In fact, Polpin himself took the lead in not implementing the ban. He deliberately entered the air and started to roll in the air many times, and then found a way to re-control the plane.

The emperor has lived up to the hard work, and Porbin found a solution to the problem, which is actually very simple: as long as you are not panic and always firmly control the operating rod, the aircraft will gradually return to normal after entering continuous roll.

The superiors also noticed Porbin's discovery. When the German army surrounded Kiev, Porbin was recalled to Moscow and went to the Air Force Operations Department to participate in the study of how to fully utilize the combat effectiveness of the Su-2 dive bomber. There, Porbin invented a set of mobile tactics that was later named "Vatuska".

The so-called Vatushka means "rotating" in Russian. The entire set of maneuvers is jointly implemented by multiple dive bombers. It refers to the uninterrupted turn-by-dive bombing tactics of 3 to 4 dive bombers implementing targets in uninterrupted turn-by-dive bombing tactics.

Each aircraft opened its relative positions at a distance of 500 to 600 meters and performed dives at a 70-degree angle on the same ground. The ideal state is that when the first dive bomber attacks, the second aircraft is roaring and about to pounce on the target, and the third aircraft has just changed from horizontal flight to dive.

The issue of how fighter jets protect dive bombers. Polpin has also made achievements: escort fighters are divided into several teams, some teams fly high altitude or side rear, and another team provides flange protection for dive bombers. In addition, Polpin requires fighters to provide close protection for dive bombers, which means that the fighter will dive together with dive bombers.

At first, the superiors did not want Porbin to deal with the damn railway bridge. The Air Force Operations Department generally believed that this was a waste of talent and believed that other dive bombers could easily solve the damn bridge, but the facts shattered their glasses!

The first to attack the railway bridge was Major Bayley's 86th Aviation Bombing Regiment. After a brief mobilization at the airport, Major Bayley began to carry out this pediatric mission. With two full formations, Major Bayley rushed to Pochop directly, but two hours later, when the Major came back, there were only three Su1s left, and even the Major himself was injured.

In Major Bailey's words: "It was a fire hedgehog, and the young men fought bravely, for example, Lieutenant Andre Telchuk hit the enemy directly..."

A day later, Bayley launched another attack with nine other Su-1s he had finally collected, but not only did he return to the German army without success, but also gave three results.

This made the air force start to surprise and put the 270th Bombing Air Force Division in one breath, but this large-scale air strike turned into a massacre. The lesson learned from the last time the air strike was learned. The German army arranged a large number of fighter jets in the direction of Bryansk. The 270th Division broke into the German fire net in the formation because the fighter troops missed the convergence point. Two fighter brigades shot down almost half of the attack aircraft and bombers of the 270th Division.

In this way, the railway bridge became a hot potato, and no one dared to say that it could be easily taken down. The top Air Force, which attracted attention, directly used a slaughter to kill the chicken this time, allowing Porbin to take action.

So what did Porbin himself think of this operation? The legendary pilot recalled: "The mission is very arduous. Aerial photos show that there are at least one hundred anti-aircraft guns on the ground, and the Germans have also arranged a large number of blocking balloons, leaving us with very narrow passages. What's even more terrifying is that the German air force here is also very powerful. Every minute of the day, more than two fighter brigades patrol and hunt over Pochop. To be successful, we must first solve the enemy's air force interference!"

In order to expel these annoying German flies, the Red Army directly joined a fighter aviation division. For the whole morning, Jacques, Ragg and B-109,-190 were fighting each other, and both sides lost at least 50 fighters.

At noon, when the sun was strongest and the light was the best, Porbin took his young men to set off. There were not many, a total of 12 Su-2s, but each one was a good player, and even the radio crew had won the Lenin Medal.

Under the cover of 24 Jacques-3s, Porbin's fleet arrived over Pochop. At this time, this small town adjacent to the Russian border was beyond recognition. The violent aerial strikes destroyed almost all the buildings in the city. Thick smoke and explosion flashes were everywhere. In the sky, Porbin was in an extremely serious mood. Once upon a time, this small town had laughter and joy, but now, there were probably only shrill crying here.

Polpin was worried that if the enemy could not be defeated, would his hometown become such a hell? Will his wife and children also be part of the crying crowd?

Porbin shivered and then held the joystick tightly. He swore in his heart that he would destroy the damn bridge and never let a German devil go!

However, there was great difficulty in front of Porbin. Soon, -190 was ecstasy and stuck up. Jacques-3 immediately met and fought, and the two sides kept exchanging bullets. From time to time, fighter jets with rolling black smoke fell to the ground.

However, Porbin's attention was not focused on air combat. He believed that his fighter planes and those who drove the Jacques-3 were good players. Even if they sacrificed, they would not cause any damage to Su-2. He believed in these comrades!

Polpin's attention was on the ground, he opened his eyes wide and searched for the target, and soon he found the railway bridge in the middle of a blocking balloon.

"All crews are careful and ready to enter! Repeat and discover the target, and prepare to enter the attack route!"

Porbin carefully adjusted the route. His work was very gentle but decisive. Without a trace of water, he drilled over to the gap that blocked the balloon. The pilots behind Porbin also maintained the same level. The Germans' dense blocking balloons did not do anything!

But at this time, a bigger test came, and flashes continued to appear on the ground, looking like a naughty child reflecting with a mirror. But these flashes are not just dazzling, they will bring a dense and deadly rain of bullets.

Rumble! Rumble!

The shells kept exploding in the air, and the shock waves shocked Polpin's car began to tremble, even if it was tied with a seat belt. His head continued to touch the canopy cover.

"Stay! Stay!"

While Porbin warned the comrades behind him through radio, he held the joystick tightly on the other side, so as not to let the plane deviate even a little from the route. As the German air defense fire became more and more intense, the fuselage tremor became stronger.

Polpin could feel his hands numb. The explosion of shock waves always blew him off the route, but he had to resist the force tightly and try to stabilize it. The confrontation of the forces did not last long, maybe only a few minutes, but it was extremely intense. In Porbin's own words, "My arms are already numb. At the last moment, I almost gritted my teeth and persevered!"

Of course, not everyone can hold on until the end. During this period, fighter jets and dive bombers that followed were shot down, and Porbin would never forget that scene: "Ralph, the youngest and most promising young man in the regiment. On the way to approach the target, he was hit. The fuel tank was burning, but he and two other comrades gave up parachuting and rushed down a few kilometers away from the bridge..."

When Su-2 crashed, he flew over several battles in a row, and the scattered parts flew hundreds of meters away. Ravl and his three other comrades accurately destroyed an 88 gun and a 20mm anti-aircraft gun, and used their bodies to turn them into weapons to strike the enemy's arrogance.

In the end, only 8 Su-2s arrived above the railway bridge. The other four were either blown up in the air or chose the same strategy as Ravl when seriously injured. This also put Porbin, who finally arrived above the target, under great pressure.

He cannot let his comrades die in vain, he must destroy the damn bridge!

Vatuska began, with eight fighter jets divided into two groups, and four launched an attack for one wave. At this time, the entire sky was covered with bullets, and in the midst of the explosion and thick smoke, the Porbins began to dive. The violent whistle sounded herald the beginning of the final duel, and Su-2 entered the dive and dropped one ab-1000 bomb after another at the target.

At this time, time seemed to be still. Porbin could see all kinds of shells roaring over. He could see them explode, see fragments flying, and hear the jingle of the cabin being hit by shrapnel. The sound lasted for a whole minute! After landing back, the ground crew was stunned by the sieve-like bullet holes on the belly of Su-2.

However, Porbin had no time to take care of the shells. He kept his eyes wide open and stared at the target until the bomber shouted: "Drop bomb!" As the fuselage shook, he immediately began to roll and pull up, rubbing his wingtips, and the second aircraft also dived, and soon dropped the bomb, followed by the third aircraft and the fourth aircraft.

Porbin has never seen the guys finish such a perfect Vatuska, and this time he can play 10!

Four one-ton bombs almost hit the ground with their front feet and back feet. You can see the ground trembling as if it was trembling, and the rising water columns and smoke rushed straight into the sky. Porbin seemed to hear the sound of the bridge deck cracking, which was simply a sound of nature!

The four Su-2s in the second wave were also perfect, with four bombs hitting the target accurately. Porbin could see the scene of the bridge deck being blown away and the stones flying around. At that moment, he sighed heavily and silently said in his heart: "Rest in peace, comrades!"

The railway bridge was destroyed or shattered as a whole. Even with the German world-class engineering machinery capabilities, facing such a messy and trash, he could only sigh.

"General, this bridge has no possibility of short-term repair. Well, I actually don't think it can be repaired at all!"

Klester looked at the dilapidated bridge speechlessly, and then looked at the direction of Bryansk behind him. He knew that the situation was very serious now, and the pursuit was about to be imminent, and the way out was broken. Is God going to let him perish?

Unlike the frowning Kleister, Rokosovsky jumped three feet high and issued an order like a child: "The mechanized troops must advance at all costs and must catch up with the main force of the enemy within 24 hours! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we must seize it!"

Is it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? I'm afraid another German general, Guderian, would not agree. The destruction of the railway bridge was indeed a headache for him, but he didn't think he would lose, and he would never admit defeat... (To be continued)
