"How many planes do you say we will take off this time?" A German bomber bombardier, who was wearing his flight suit, looked at his companion and asked suspiciously.

His companion, who was putting on his own parachute, replied with certainty: "130 bombers, 30 JU-87 Stuka, and 100 horizontal bombers JU-88 bombers." ”

"Oh my God, did they find out the secret factory of the Soviets in that place in Vladimir?" Putting on his flight suit, the bombardier laughed and complained.

"Maybe, whatever they find, we'll just drop the bomb." The companion smiled, then put on his parachute and headed for the door.

The ground crews were already busy, and they were already refueling their bombers before dawn.

A bomber with a full tank of fuel is already full of bombs in the bomb bay. All the planes were already combat-ready and just waiting for the order to take off.

The pilots are in a meeting to lay out the bombing sequence after this takeoff. The navigator and the front-line commander stood in the corner, checking the course of the bombing mission.

"The 20 F-190 fighters taking off from Field Airfield No. 2 will cover your mission, and the number of anti-aircraft guns on the other side should not be large......" Pointing to the map, the aviation commander confirmed all the mission details for the last time.

"Accurately drop the bomb by descending the altitude, and the bomb height is temporarily set at 4000 meters! If the interference is not large, it can be compressed to about 3000 meters! The bomb commander pinched the mission report and said to the navigator: "If necessary, you can drop the altitude and improve the accuracy of the bombing!" ”

"I see...... I don't know what exactly Vladimir has, we went to bomb once before, and there are pitiful small ones, and there are almost no worthy targets. The navigator shook his head and said reluctantly.

After Goering, on the orders of Lile, lifted the ban on large-scale attacks by the air force in the Moscow direction, the Luftwaffe bombed Moscow several times.

Entering the skies over Moscow was worth the cost, but the bombing of small cities around Moscow was very much in line with the Luftwaffe's combat style.

They bombed Tula, they bombed Ryazan and, of course, the city of Vladimir.

To be honest, the last time I bombed this city, I just dropped bombs hastily, and I didn't attack the city too much.

Who knows, just a few days later, the Air Force actually gave an operational order to destroy the entire Vladimir.

Moreover, in order to ensure that this task could be successfully completed, the Luftwaffe actually dispatched 130 bombers in one go.

Of course, after all, no one can be sure that Stalin was in Vladimir, so he only sent 130 planes.

If there had been intelligence to establish that Stalin was there, maybe the Luftwaffe would not have sent 130 aircraft - maybe that number would have turned into 500, or even more.

The current Luftwaffe has accumulated and developed, and it is no longer a one-time air force that lacks reserves and supplementary forces as it did at the beginning of the war.

Goering trained at least 10,000 apprentice pilots for the Luftwaffe, and the Luftwaffe had many more planes than expected.

On the Eastern Front, the Luftwaffe had more than 15,000 aircraft, and although there were transport planes, training and reconnaissance aircraft, the number of combat aircraft was also considerable.

This figure is almost twice the total number of aircraft used by the Third Reich at the time of Operation Barbarossa in real history.

In other words, Hitler assembled 7,700 planes on the Eastern Front at this time, and after Li Le Li Dai was stiff, he doubled the Luftwaffe's home base.

With so many aircraft, most of the credit is due to the surrender of Britain, which allowed Li Le to transfer fighter planes stationed in China to reinforce the troops in the Soviet Union.

At the same time, Li Le's pilot training program also allowed the Luftwaffe to purchase a lot of cheap flight training aircraft.

The performance of this type of aircraft is average, and in addition to training novices, it can only take on some inconsequential transportation tasks.

Li Leke didn't plan to raise so many idlers, he made use of the training tasks of these flight apprentices as much as possible, so as not to let the fuel be wasted.

When such flight trainees carry out flight training missions, as long as they are transferred to the field for flight training, they must carry letters or unimportant documents from the front line to carry out transportation tasks.

"Ready to take off! Ready to take off! Pilots in position! Fast! "At the airport, the radio started to stir.

All the pilots began to run towards their planes, and many of the planes had their engines turned on, and the entire airport seemed to come back to life before dawn.

The bombardier, who was still ridiculing the bombing mission just now, got into his plane, and he wanted to aim at the target and accurately drop the bomb inside the nose like a flower room.

His bombsight was a completely new design, derived from the advanced design of the American B-17 bomber.

You must know that the bomb sight on the US B-17 bomber is a secret among secrets, and it is a piece of equipment that the pilot is required to destroy before making a forced landing or crash.

However, during the battle for Sicily, there were too many planes, so the American pilots were not able to destroy all the equipment before surrendering.

As a result, Germany also copied this accurate horizontal sight, and also used more precise lenses from the Zeiss instrument factory to make more precise replacements and improvements.

Inside the plane, with the rotation of the engine, you can feel a slight tremor, and the plane rises in a line, and soon forms an echelon of bombers in the sky.

Here is the airfield where the JU-88 bombers took off, closer to the front line, where 30 JU-87 dive bombers have not yet taken off.

They will not take off to catch up until the JU-88 formation flies near them. After all, they have a shorter range and need to save fuel.

Then dive bombing before the JU-88 bombers dropped bombs, ending up the anti-aircraft artillery positions of the resistance, as well as some important targets.

After all, a dive bomber can bomb with precision, while a horizontal bomber can only cover the bombing. If the horizontal bomber is allowed to drop the bomb first, then there will be smoke on the ground, and nothing can be seen clearly, and the dive bomber will not be able to drop the bomb again.

"The weather was great today! I didn't see the clouds. "At the bomb dropping position, looking through the glass window of the plane and looking at the sky outside, the bombardier said to the pilot of the plane through the walkie-talkie.

"Yes! In a few moments we will be like dark clouds, covering the sky over Vladimir! The German pilot, who was sitting on top of the bomber's head, said with a smile.
