The bomber, which threw all the supplies, seemed to have its body hollowed out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Every plane has a sharp rise in the nose, and the shock is very strong.

"The airdrop is over, all planes will return immediately!" After issuing the order, for the unknown way home, Ivanov's heart was beating. He said to himself: "I hope the Germans don't get up." “

The fleet returned to the morning sun, and in order to avoid possible danger, all bombers flew high to the maximum ceiling.

But all their efforts were taking place over the heads of the Germans, and where would the Germans ignore such a large fleet of aircraft, as Ivanov hoped.

In fact, that night, the Bryansk occupation superintendent heard the rumble of the sky. The radar had already been put into real combat by the British, so every attempt at air combat by Goering was detected early by the British. So much so that the suddenness of the German air raids was always greatly discounted.

On the Eastern Front, the Soviets and Germans did not use radar, and for air strikes, they could only look up at the sky from the sentinels.

The air raid sirens sounded in Bryanskla, but the air raids never happened.

At this moment, it was two or three o'clock in the morning, and the airfield near the city was in a commotion, and the German pilots who were sleeping were urgently awakened.

In the middle of the night, there was only one large moon in the sky, and the airport was surrounded by snow, and the earth was very bright by the moonlight. The pilots gathered urgently, thinking that the commander had ordered them to venture into the air at night, but they were waiting for an order to be on standby.

The searchlights in the city of Bryansk shone into the sky, and it seemed that the location of the enemy planes had been found, and even some anti-aircraft guns were urgently pulled into the city.

"The Soviets probably won't have an air raid on the city that was supposed to be theirs! They shouldn't have bombed here, so there are still Soviet citizens in the city! The commander of the Bryansk occupation forces sighed. He stabilized the mood of his subordinates, but did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the garrison to prepare for the air.

In this way, Ivanov's march left only a noise, and the German troops on the ground were like frightened birds. They could not find any trace of Soviet aircraft, so they had to order the Air Force to be combat-ready.

The group returned the way it came, they arrived on the outskirts of Chernnikov, and the rumble in the sky was heard again, this must have been an airplane, and a large group.

Twenty BF109 fighters scrambled into the air.

Because the Soviet army still occupies Crimea at the moment, the German army's offensive pressure on the Odessa front line is currently small, but it does not dare to slack off for a moment.

A world war is fought in terms of comprehensive national strength, and a country's war machine is nothing more than powerful soldiers, steel, crude oil, and food. The Soviets and Germans knew each other's fate, and the Soviets were bombing the Ploiesti oil fields in Romania, and even tried to risk bombing the more distant Silesian oil fields (which was an operation with no return). And the German army attacked Ukraine, trying to take the largest grain-producing area of the Soviet Union here, as well as the Baku oil field in the Caucasus.

Soviet bombers were frequently dispatched, and the Germans, in order to better stop the enemy, replaced the fighters with one cannon, while the Junkers 87 had two.

So it was this war machine that Ivanov was going to encounter, and he thought he had flown so high that the scrambler of the machine-gun turret on the top dozed off.

Even if Ivanov stressed that it was already dawn, everyone must be vigilant. After several hours of daylight flights, no enemy aircraft were encountered, and the people gradually became negligent.

They never imagined that these twenty German fighters would rely on the cover of the dazzling sunlight to go straight from the sun.

The German fighters all had on-board radios, and the captain ordered the captains and wingmen of all combat groups to use cannon salvos.

The cannon is 37 mm caliber with high-explosive shells. The weapon had a slow rate of fire, and in order to fly lightly, each plane carried only twenty shells, but if it was hit in the wing, an enemy plane would basically crash.

The sudden shells smashed at an angle towards the Soviet bomber formation, and the explosion occurred suddenly, and the Germans lost four bombers in just one round of shelling.

Because the wings have been blown off, this TB3 bomber is an old Soviet model, and the structural strength is not excellent. The plane with folded wings emitted black smoke and fell with a terrifying whistling.

All the dozing people woke up, and the moment of life and death suddenly came. Without Yevlov's orders, all the machine gunners were already in place. The machine gun fires a bolt of bullets that splash water.

The Soviets began to counterattack in self-defense, which gave the Germans a lot of resistance. It turned out that Ivanov dared to carry out this order fearlessly, and his people were naturally a group of outlaws, and they were also pilots with high technical and tactical skills.

"Now order everyone, give me the plane and keep pulling it up! Ditch all useless clutter! Ivanov decided to take a gamble, and the plane managed to reach its ceiling of 8,000 meters.

The air at such high altitude was so thin that the lift provided by the plane was almost at its limit, and the pilot was horrified to see that the propellers of the engines were shaking abnormally. It was also unusually cold here, but fortunately it was a terrible winter on the ground and high in the air, and the crew continued their adventure with a sigh of relief.

But the ultimate ceiling of BF109 is 10,000 meters in the air, and it is a gamble in front of Ivanov.

"Everyone, pay attention, fight hard. Our fuel reserves far surpass theirs, and as long as we hold on and get through their fuel to the limit, they will inevitably retreat! Ivanov's words gave hope to the fighters.

But death still followed, and the speed of the TB3 bomber was too slow, and the BF109 was twice as fast. This is not an stratofortress at all, and it is much less robust than the main American model, the B17. Even with the lives of the soldiers, the Germans still opened fire from a long distance.

Several planes were riddled with holes from enemy machine guns, their wings and direction crumbling, and finally they were killed by shells.

By the time the Germans were forced to return due to fuel bottlenecks, the Soviets had lost ten aircraft. As the Soviet-controlled zone drew closer, the risky airdrop eventually turned into a massacre when the fleet returned.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the commander of the Front, Timoshenko, received the news of the return of the group.

The herald read the document, and Timoshenko, who stood up excitedly, immediately sat down again. He held his chin and lamented: "The Germans actually installed artillery on fighters, I underestimated their strength!" Although the airdrop was successful, we also lost twelve heavy bombers. ”

In this operation, ten bombers were shot down on the way back, and all the crew members fell from a high altitude. The remaining two had an accident when landing, and one plane failed to make a forced landing and caught fire, and many people were severely burned and died.

But he did not deny the results of this operation, and in the evening he received news from the 284th Guards Division.

Yevlov ordered the radioman to send only a short message to the Gomel underground city committee: Firearms, ammunition and bedding are received in good condition!

This is exactly what Timoshenko wanted, albeit at a great cost, and the largest combat forces behind enemy lines in Belarus were replenished. They can still fight in the toughest of circumstances, and perhaps they may still be able to launch a winter offensive against Germany and answer the leader's call.

On the other hand, the results of the air battle were immediately reported to the command of the occupation forces in Kiev, and after a simple analysis, the strategic purpose of the Soviet troops became clear at a glance. There is already too much intelligence that in the swampy areas north of Kiev there are significant military forces of Soviet partisans.

The Soviet partisans were tireless to the Germans, and in this Kiev, some supported Germany because of their opposition to the Soviet Union, some were overwhelmed, and some were resisting in various ways, including "terrorist acts" as later defined.

The partisans echoed the situation from afar, with fires and bridges in Cherobi and frequent attacks on highway towns in southern Belarus all taking place around the swamps.

The Germans were bitter and swept there, for it was the middle of winter, and it was extremely difficult to deploy their forces, and almost all of the men who dared to fight were firmly trapped in the battle to capture Moscow, and the advantage in the early stages of the battle was disappearing little by little.

Intelligence also reached the Nazi commissioner in Belarus, John Kubet.

For this person, the Gomel underground city committee listed this person as the first assassin, and the information was also transmitted to the 284th Division. Yang Mingzhi knew about this man, and in the end he was killed by the guerrillas with a bomb in his own home.

This man, he is a demon who kills people, and he is also a man who seeks order. The SS slaughtered Jews everywhere, often breaking into their homes. In Slutsk, the streets are littered with the corpses of Jews, as if the city was being slaughtered. Although the SS would not openly massacre Belarusians, terror was spreading.

Enraged, Johann Kube reported to Hitler: "The SS is breaking discipline, and this is an incredibly despicable act, and they are deliberately creating an atmosphere of terror by mass-killing people in various cities. They are simply destroyers of order, who have no credit for restoring the economy to our advantage, and will only turn the occupied territories into no man's land! Or force the collaborators back to Stalin! ”

Therefore, he was very disgusted by the 707 Division's killing and risking behavior in the Middle Ages. In the end, the Soviet partisans unbelievably crippled this force, and the army's strategy of slaughtering frantically trying to destroy the foundation of the partisans came to an end for the time being. But the work given to him was even more arduous, not to mention that the Soviet army also went crazy and defied the strong air force of the German army, risking their lives to provide assistance to the partisans.

He ordered the various German units stationed on the Moziri-Lechica road. "Considering that your southern part is a zone of frequent activity of Soviet partisans, do not take the initiative to provoke them now, your task is to make every effort to maintain the stability of the road and ensure the smooth flow of transportation roads to the front line."

What else could the commander of the German 715 Division do? Scholz complained: "The enemy is gaining strength, and their superiors do not know that it may not be an ordinary partisan force at all. We call him the swamp guerrilla brigade, where there may be at least one brigade of troops, and it is tenacious! ”

"So what? The bureaucrats only believed what they saw, and our precise reconnaissance had all failed, and we could only prove from the side that the Soviet troops there were strong. The chief of staff said helplessly, but he also made a suggestion.

"Now that we have captured the small town of Homnich in the south, we will use our troops there as a formal forward position for a strategic confrontation against the enemy. We have to take the initiative so that it is in our interest. ”

Schultz agreed with the decision. "Okay, then send a battalion there. Bring more ammunition and supplies to ensure that the troops can stay for a long time in this terrible environment. I was also worried that the Soviets would launch a mad onslaught. (To be continued.) )
