The bombing campaign was over, and fourteen completed planes had returned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this operation, pilot Adler finally had a satisfactory result - he and his wingman took out the hangar of the Soviet airfield. Compared with his comrades-in-arms, he bombed the enemy's valuable targets to shreds, which can be regarded as a talking point that the pilot can only see that he is proud of.

Adler himself, however, did not believe that simply blowing up the flat ground of the enemy's airfield into a crater would seriously weaken the capabilities of the partisans. Because there are still frequent shots in the forest around the airport, there are traces of bullets hitting the wings of his own Stuka.

Fortunately, this group of guerrillas lacked heavy weapons after all, and they were hit by ordinary bullets, and unless they hit the engine or mailbox, they could cause serious consequences.

The planes returned to the airport one after another, and Adler's technicians surrounded them one by one. Attentive people saw the scars on the plane at once.

"What's the matter, did you go to bomb the guerrillas and encounter interception by enemy fighters?"

"That's impossible!" Adler jumped off the wing and said: "This is an attack by enemy ground fire." Even if we blew up their airfield, the aerial shooting in the forest did not stop at all, and the bullet marks at the lower end of the wing were the masterpiece of the Soviets. Finally, Adler muttered again: "I'm glad that if they had anti-aircraft guns, or large-caliber machine guns, we would be bad!" ”

In fact, he didn't know that the Soviet troops under the forest were armed with anti-tank guns. It was only because of the shortage of ammunition and the rush to meet the battle that the fighters did not use these weapons at all. If the anti-tank robbery is also played, as an anti-materiel weapon, it will be able to easily penetrate the wings of the aircraft, and it may be able to cause destruction.

The raid was a success, not a great victory, and Adler and his comrades returned to the base, celebrated with each other, and went to rest together.

The planes were pulled back to the hangars, and the intact ones were lined up on the airfield, some covered with canvas.

These German pilots enjoyed going to the bars inside the airport, which was an important pastime for them. As a German, it's a treat to finish your mission and drink some dark beer and eat some grilled sausages.

The German bar was still a little new at this time, with a few women from Ukraine as dancers to please the German GIs.

Not all Ukrainians are loyal to Stalin, and tens of millions of people who lived through the ****** of a decade ago hated the Soviet Union to the core. In addition, there are already a large number of nationalists in Ukraine, who have opposed this regime since the establishment of Soviet Russia. Now the Germans have hit, they have set up a puppet regime in Ukraine, and the nationalists have a spring.

As for the defeat of the German army later, the scorched earth policy carried out in Ukraine led to the defection of even the Ukrainians who supported the Nazis, and the Germans became the target of condemnation in this land.

Now, the dancers are coming to the south of Belarus with the train, and they and many Ukrainian men have come here voluntarily. Men served as workers, in the service of the German army, and even as airport ground crew. And the woman, either with her husband. Either it is to please the soldier with his body and to please the soldier.

Many of the pilots had already arrived at the bar early, and most of them were people who had not been on a mission, and they were watching the dancers perform. Until the guys who had completed the task came back, everyone stood up in awe.

Adler and his wingman men came here with small briefcases, just to have some drink.

Seeing this, the scantily clad dancers immediately greeted them and scratched their heads in front of these tall and handsome German men.

"Get up! Get up! Adler waved his hand, he couldn't stand these women.

This move drew ridicule from many people.

"Hawkeye Adler, are you still so loyal? It's all on the battlefield, and you still don't want to sleep with these women? ”

"Shut up! Fred! I advise you to take care of your crotch too, we are here to fight! If you are distracted by something else, your life will be in danger! ”

"Come on, I'll feel refreshed when I'm flying a plane after I've done it!" The pilot waved his hand and scoffed at the lecture. Many people laughed at this.

It is true that the work of these women outside of dancing is to do the business of skin and meat. Prostitutes who accompanied the army, this kind of behavior has been practiced since ancient times. The Wehrmacht was generally clean, but as the war dragged on, discipline became worse and worse, especially the long-term nervous tension, and only smoking, alcohol and sex soothed the soldiers' hearts on the verge of collapse.

Often, the Germans forced women in the occupied territories to become military playthings, but there were also those who volunteered to do the meat business. The original discipline forbade this, but Hitler was too far away and the front line was too close!

Adler asked for a beer, sausages and sauerkraut to accompany his meal. At this bar, the pilots immediately talked about the air raid.

Most of the people were talking and laughing, but Adler had a stiff face, as if he had something on his mind.

"What? Still angry at the offense you just had? Fred, the pilot, came with a wine glass. Sorry, I'm kidding. ”

Adler raised his glass and smiled.

"It seems that you are not mad at me." By the way, he moved a chair and sat down, and continued to ask: "Why, you have completed the task in this operation, and you are still not satisfied." ”

Adler nodded, "Yes." I really don't know what the use of blowing up their airfield is, it's a small airport, much, much smaller than ours. As for the guerrillas in the swamps, they achieved almost all the results by infantry, and in this air attack, we also encountered ground fire. Field Marshal Clausewitz pointed out that the key to victory in the war was only the destruction of the enemy's living forces. So we spent five tons of ammunition and achieved very little success. ”

"You may be right. But the enemy's airfield was still destroyed, and as for the guerrillas hiding in the forest, friends, they were like voles under the land, which could only be destroyed unless the ground was turned over. Unless we clear all the forests, we will be able to eradicate the guerrillas. How can our superiors not know this? We have now received information that the enemy's forces may already know our location, and they will attack in the next few days. ”

"We haven't attacked them yet, but they have come to attack us. It's a hundred kilometers from the swamp to our airport. They came from afar, and our highway defense troops could not be annihilated! Now it's our turn to guard the airport ourselves! ”

"Friend, I can see that you have more or less complaints about your superiors. We are soldiers, and we can only obey orders. Our reinforcements are about to arrive, hold out for another three days, and we will be safe. We are building defensive positions now, and if necessary, we will take to the skies, and I don't think the enemy has much fighting power. ”

Unlike these pilots at rest, it's still hot outside the airport. Some of the defenders patrolled and more were building fortifications.

Workers cut wood in the forest, wooden poles and barbed wire cooperated, hung canning boxes, and they made a large number of primitive alarm systems. Behind these obstacles were field trenches, and by order of Group Commander Koch, the Germans were to quickly build ring fortifications around the airfield.

No matter how many enemies come, they don't want to destroy the airfield.

But Balzen's death squads, a small unit of professional forest warfare, were rushing in the direction of the airfield, and even if the Germans did a good job of fortifications, they could only make something simple in a short time. The aim of the Soviet army was very clear: to turn the aircraft into scrap metal in order to remove the air threat from the barracks and collective farms. (To be continued.) )
