Chapter 362: German Air Raid on the Airfield

Fourteen aircraft flew towards the intended target, and this operation dispatched half of the combat strength of this air force group. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info A total of twenty aerial bombs, this luxurious offensive was aimed at the airfield of the Soviet troops and the nearby area.

Even in previous reconnaissance, the Germans found a number of other structures that did not arouse much interest.

What is the strategic value of wooden buildings that can be built quickly? It's just a bunch of cabins. The German pilots received an order quite unambiguously to blow up the airfields of the Soviets and that's it.

The plane arrived at the outskirts of Heitu Village at 8 a.m., and the fixed sentry outside it immediately listened to a strange noise from the air. The sentries did not hesitate to report to the division headquarters, and Yeevlov and Yang Mingzhi quickly received the latest information.

"They couldn't have come at the right time! Actually came at this time. Fourteen planes are coming towards the airport? Yevlov asked loudly.

The radio officer said: "That's what our comrades in the blacksmith village said. Judging by the flight routes of the enemy planes, they are moving along with us. ”

Yevlov and Yang Mingzhi, their faces sank. Because at this time, there are still people moving on the airport.

These fighters were members of the 1st regiment, and Roshakov and Kravsky, having taken care of the affairs of their own troops, set out to help with the relocation of the airfield.

There are a lot of altars and jars here, wooden buildings aside, and a large number of tables, chairs and benches must not be left alone. What's more, there are still a few villagers living here, especially a group of aunts. These people are in charge of army logistics, and naturally there are a lot of things to be moved.

Since the enemy will definitely attack the airfield, the final movement must be carried out in a hurry.

Yang Mingzhi's eyes were anxious, and this enemy soon flew over. If you don't leave now, the enemy will drop bombs in a while, and everyone will suffer.

He immediately said: "Yevlov, you are the division commander, now hurry up and withdraw with other comrades." The airport must be emptied immediately. ”

"What about you? Why don't you withdraw together? Do you have any other plans? ”

"No!" Yang Mingzhi refused. "You're the division commander, it's too dangerous here. The enemy will definitely use large-yield aerial bombs, and the entire airfield is covered by fire. ”

"Aren't you afraid of death? I, Yevlov, am not a coward either! ”

He is either a coward, or this man lacks the spirit of fearlessness. This is also the courage of the horseman, as the commander of the 284th Division, it is better for him to follow up and leave this place of right and wrong.

Yang Mingzhi roared: "Guards! It's too dangerous here, take the division commander away. Now I'll take over the command! This is an order from the Chief of Staff! ”

So who should the guards and soldiers listen to? If Yevlov insists on not leaving, he can still stay here. But seeing that Yang Mingzhi was so determined, he made concessions in the face of the pressure of air strikes by German aircraft.

Now, Yang Mingzhi has taken over the place in full. He is no longer acting as an "overseer", urging soldiers to move.

Instead, he ordered several guards, all of whom were armed with machine guns, including Yang Mingzhi himself.

"Listen to me, shoot into the air now!"

Suddenly, five DP machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the combined firepower was very powerful, and the noise created was also extremely strong.

Along with the gunshots, there was also the rumbling sound that gradually emerged on the edge of the skyline.

On the airport, many soldiers were still driving horse-drawn carriages, and they had to carry a large number of tables and chairs. Some people are holding boxes, even cutlery and the like, and they have to move them too. Even the various parts in the hangar, since the fighter has been completely destroyed, the surplus parts can be remanufactured into weapons.

The vast number of warriors are very sensitive to the battlefield, and they haven't noticed the anomaly in the sky, anyway, the violent gunfire attracts everyone's attention.

They are still carrying guns on their backs, but now they are under enemy attack? The soldiers put down their objects one after another, and one by one I fell to the ground, instantly holding the rifle on my back in my arms and ready to shoot.

The 47-round disc of the DP machine gun quickly ran out, the gunfire dispersed, and people were surprised to hear a strange noise in the sky.

It's an air raid!

Yang Mingzhi breathed a long sigh of relief, and he saw that the soldiers were already running wildly. "Thank goodness the gunshots were enough to give everyone a warning in advance!" After that, Yang Mingzhi also quickly retreated into the forest near the airport.

It was precisely because of the early warning that the people who were relaxed early in the morning cheered up one by one. It was as if enemy infantry had really touched the place, and the encounter was imminent.

Everyone was prepared to face the battle, and when it was determined that the air raid was coming, everyone naturally ran away. The carriage was pumped wildly, and the carriage galloped into the forest road, and the soldiers were even more crazy, and the items they were just holding were now all abandoned, and it was the main thing to flee lightly.

On the other hand, the German dive bombers had already begun to climb, and the escort fighters began to circle around the airfield.

The enemy planes had been exposed, and the fighters hiding in the forest, especially the machine gunners, simply spontaneously partnered with the sub-shooters to form a simple "anti-aircraft machine gun team", and bullets were fired frequently.

This was not in Yang Mingzhi's plan, and on the way to evacuate, he immediately stopped some fighters from shooting at the air.

"Those are BF109, it has thin armor on the bottom, and it will be difficult for an average bullet to shoot it down!" Being said this, some fighters stopped, they no longer wasted bullets.

At this moment, the noise from the air became louder and louder, and everyone who understood the situation fell to the ground one after another, even Yang Mingzhi was no exception. Now there is no need to bury anything cleanly, because this is the beginning of the attack of dive bombers.

Pilots such as Adler, he aimed at the hangar, which no longer had aircraft. Take the lead and lead the wingman to dive there.

Descending at high speed, the huge whistling sound was deafening, like a heavenly punishment falling from the sky. Four 250-kilogram aerial bombs were dropped, which soon reached a speed of three hundred meters per second. It was a bomb with a delayed fuse, which did not explode even after penetrating the roof of the hangar.

Because of the soft ground in the Pripet Marsh, the bomb simply went two meters deep into the dirt. This is true of all four bombs, which were created to destroy field airfields, so that they have a certain characterization of ground-penetrating bombs.

When the delayed fuse behind the butt of the bomb stopped turning, a seismic explosion occurred.

The bomb with a total weight of one ton and a total mass of up to 480 kilograms made the earth tremble with a huge explosion. The entire hangar was destroyed, and the soil was raised fifty meters high! It was even more terrifying, because the huge heat generated by the explosion instantly vaporized the nearby snow, and the steam effect produced was even more terrifying. The heat wave associated with the impact of the explosion was accompanied by water vapor, which swept over an area with a radius of 200 meters. Even Yang Mingzhi, who was lying on the ground, felt the hot and humid wind.

"Hell, it's a shame that I'm lying on my stomach in time, otherwise it's like taking a sauna!" Yang Mingzhi's complaint caused the soldiers on the side to laugh.

However, everyone barely had time to react, and more bombs were dropped! (To be continued.) )
