When Chen Dao returned to the airfield from the headquarters of the 57th Panzer Army, the commanders of naval aviation from various nearby airfields had already arrived, and an operational meeting was held overnight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chen Dao pointed to the large combat map on the wall and said: "Our mission is to assist the 57th Armored Corps to break through the Soviet defense line and reach Lake Ladoga, and tactically it is the 30th Infantry Division that specifically cooperates with us. ”

The whip in Chen Dao's hand drew a circle on the map, pointed to Luga, and said: "We set off from the airfield around Luga, and the farthest target is here, Shlishheli Fort at the junction of Lake Ladoga and the Neva River, with a combat radius of 150 kilometers. ”

Chen Dao whip moved on the map one after another.

"The troops of the 30th Infantry Division, starting from Gorée on the banks of the Mga River, have captured Kryklovo and are about to reach Fort Shlishelly, with the towns of Desovo and Sinavino in between."

Chen Dao raised his left hand, deep his index finger and middle finger, and made a V-shaped gesture.

"The towns of Desovo and Sinavino are the two aircraft carriers you want to destroy. However, compared to aircraft carriers, these two immobile aircraft carriers are too easy to bomb, and I believe that you will be able to successfully complete the bombing mission, and now General Hersman will assign you specific tasks. ”

"In tomorrow's mission, dropping bombs on those two non-moving aircraft carriers is not the main task. The main task is to give you a feel of what it is like to drop bombs under the harassment of enemy fighter jets and anti-aircraft fire. So, tomorrow each person will have to fly at least twice, and at most four. All the pilots on the four aircraft carriers, one target at a time. Tonight, let the ground crew replace the bomb pylons of the torpedo attack planes and attack together. As for the fighter pilots, you have to pay attention to the fact that the Russians have a strong ability to circle, but they are not as fast as yours. As for how to deal with them, I'm sure you experts know how to deal with them. Major General Hans von Hersmann said.

After about half an hour of questioning, the meeting ended and the officers set off for their respective airports.

Major General Hersman turned to Chen Dao and said, "How many fish can we hang out tomorrow?" Will the Russians take the bait? ”

"We are attacking the Russians, and their air force, even if it only has one plane, will come out to meet it."

In the early morning of 7 September, in the northeast of the city of Klicklovo, which had just been captured by the Germans, the infantry of the 46th Infantry Regiment of the 30th Infantry Division set out again before dawn and marched to the town of Desovo, nearly four kilometers to the north.

Unlike the previous terrain, the southern and southeastern parts of the town of Desovo were covered with large areas of cultivated land, undisturbed forests and swamps, and the infantry moved quickly.

Just as the infantry of the 30th Infantry Division was approaching the town of Desovo, the naval aviation airfield around the city of Luga was also shrouded in a layer of war tension.

"Woo・・・・・・"

Loudspeakers dangling from telephone poles blared sirens.

In the bedroom, in the activity room・・・・・・ crowds of pilots poured out, and even in the toilet there were a dozen unlucky people with pants running.

In order to maximize the actual combat ability of the pilots, the wing commander and squadron leader did not notify their pilots in advance according to Chen Dao's order, and everything was simulated to the maximum.

The pilots assembled in squadrons on the open runway and learned about the mission from their respective squadron leaders.

"130 kilometers to the northeast, the Russian aircraft carrier Desovo was found, and we went to sink it."

The first group of attackers were pilots from the aircraft carriers Zeppelin and Pieter Strassa, with a total of eight squadrons of 16 aircraft each, for a total of 128 combat aircraft.

The first to break off the runway was the HE-100T1 fighter, which was an improved version of the HE-100E1 fighter.

Compared with the previous improvement, the HE-100T1 carrier-based fighter has been replaced with foldable wings, the weapon system has also been upgraded, the original 20 mm cannon has not changed, and the two machine guns have been upgraded from the original 7.92 mm to the MG131 13 mm machine gun.

Three squadrons of fighters took off first, followed by two squadrons of dive bombers and one squadron of reconnaissance/dive bombers, and three squadrons of dive bombers were based on the FW-190 fighter and improved from the FW-190F1 dive bomber.

After six squadrons of fighters and dive bombers took to the skies, the last to take off were two squadrons of torpedo attack aircraft, two squadrons of torpedo attack aircraft, also improved from the FW-190 fighters, numbered FW-190F2.

The flight of eight squadrons, formed into a huge group of aircraft in the blue sky, and slaughtered the "aircraft carrier Desovo" in a mighty way.

During the flight, radio waves flew between the various squadrons.

"According to intelligence, the aircraft carrier Desovo was stuck on the surface of the sea due to a malfunction, the bow was facing east, the squadron of dive bombers attacked from the stern, and the torpedo formation attacked from the starboard side."

"Fighter pilots pay attention, enemy fighters have a strong ability to hover at low altitudes, but they are not as fast as us, do not dogfight with them."

A distance of 130 kilometers is as easy for an airplane as a walk in your own back garden.

When the aircraft group flew over the "Desovo aircraft carrier", on the ground, the Soviet and German armies had already been fighting with fire.

The German 46th Infantry Regiment approached the town of Desovo, and more than 30 tanks poured out of the town to rush towards the Germans, and the infantry of the 46th Infantry Regiment immediately stopped attacking and moved to the defense relying on the terrain and the No. 3 assault gun.

PAK40 anti-tank guns and 88-mm anti-aircraft guns were then sent to the front to join the battle.

Not to be outdone, the Soviets also pushed 85-mm anti-aircraft guns, 76.2-mm and 45-mm anti-tank guns into the line of fire and joined the battle.

The air forces of both sides also followed the clarion call of the war into the battle, and soon after the arrival of the ubiquitous Soviet Il-2 attack aircraft, units of German naval aviation appeared in the field of view of both warring sides.

Seeing that the friendly aircraft group rushed to the battlefield as promised, the German troops on the ground fired green smoke bombs in the direction of the Soviet troops in a timely manner, and at the same time, the red swastika flag was spread on the German positions, and the reflectors also reflected the sunlight to the sky for the air groups to identify friend and foe.

"The position where the green smoke grenade rises is the enemy, and the town next to it is the aircraft carrier Desovo, and the squadrons attack according to the previous order."

As waves of battlefield information arrived, pilots gradually recognized their mission.

The town of Desovo on the ground, long from east to west and narrow from north to south, resembles a large aircraft carrier.

Three squadrons of fighters pounced on Soviet fighters, and a squadron of dive bombers, led by squadron leaders, pounced from west to east on the town of Desovo.

The dive bomber dived down at an angle of 40 to 50 degrees, and the 500-kilogram bombs in the belly and the 250-kilogram bombs under the wings rained down on the lone "aircraft carrier."

After the dive bomber squadron flew, the torpedo attack squadron dropped an even more brutal 1,000-kilogram aerial bomb from south to north, simulating an attack from the starboard side.

Under the cover of high-density bombshells, the entire town of Desovo was covered in fire and smoke, and there were craters of all sizes, as terrifying as the surface of the moon.

To the south of the town of Desovo, the Soviet troops who were engaged with the Germans were all attracted by the terrifying scene in the town behind them, and forgot about the battle for a while.

In the sky, in the radio waves, new information was heard again.

"Well done, boys, where the aircraft carrier Desovo was sunk by us, and where the green smoke rose, those Soviet infantry were the enemy's overboard crews, and dive bombers and torpedo planes went down to strafe them."

Receiving a new mission, the pilots of the squadron of dive bombers and torpedo attack planes, turned the nose of the plane, and rushed in the direction of the rising green smoke, and the disaster of the Soviet infantry became.

Both dive bombers and torpedo attack planes still retained two MG131 machine guns, and 13-mm machine gun shells hailed at the Soviet infantry exposed in the wilderness, and the gunners did not escape the nightmare of falling from the sky.

Rounds of strafing disrupted the formation of the Soviet infantry and disrupted the rhythm of the Soviet army's battle.

Just as the Soviet army was in chaos, in the southeast direction of the battlefield, a force was killed.

The 12th Armored Division, which was friendly to the neighbor, learned that the 30th Infantry Division had encountered a counterattack by Soviet armored forces, and feared that the 30th Infantry Division would not be able to fight against Soviet tanks, so it immediately sent two tank companies to launch an attack in the direction of the town of Desovo with the coordination of an infantry battalion.

The "hook" from the flank became the final blow to crush the Soviet army, and it was hit by a series of heavy blows from the Germans, and the Soviet troops near the town of Desovo could no longer hold on, and immediately collapsed, and the 46th Infantry Regiment rushed into the town of Desovo in one go・・・・・・
