Chapter 1326: Bombing the Base
Although the number of naval planes was relatively small, they still used almost all sorts of attack planes and bombers for this air attack, using more than 80 attack planes and bombers, and on average, at least about 10 planes were in the sky over each target airfield.
Now, Lieutenant Steinkamp is flying in front, and he quickly takes out the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery positions, which can make the planes in the rear fly more boldly, and at the same time, Lieutenant Steinkamp has begun to attack the ground furiously.
One of the nicknames of the HS-129 is the sweeper, as the name suggests, the favorite thing this aircraft does is to sweep the floor with its own cannon.
When Lieutenant Steinkamp had simply smashed the bomber that had taken off on the runway into a fireball, he pushed the lever and wasted almost no time on the tarmac at the end of the runway.
At this time, there were countless people on the ground holding Mosin Nagant rifles in their hands, shooting into the sky, although they knew that this would be futile, but they had to do it, they had to fight to the end!
"Tom tom!" As soon as HS129 lowered his head, the shells began to strafe towards the tarmac, and this time he did not skimp on ammunition and used a long-fire mode.
Shells whistled towards the SB-2 bombers on the tarmac, only to see clouds of smoke rising from the ground.
Every shell explodes brings a terrible explosion. A 40-mm grenade, when hit on the ground, can blow up a large crater with a diameter of more than one meter.
I saw that the crater was moving rapidly, and the third shell swept onto a bomber.
Then, taking this as a starting point, it was as if a line flew by, shells flew sideways, and bombers next to each other were named.
The first one quickly burned, then the second, the third ... Although after many battles, his heart has long become like steel, but now seeing this scene, Lieutenant Steinkamp can't help but let out a cheer.
It's so enjoyable!
Since driving the sweeper, he has always had this idea, dived down, turned the nose slowly, let the shells sweep sideways one by one, and killed all the enemies on the ground, but unfortunately there has never been such an opportunity, and this time, his long-cherished wish has finally been realized!
"Boom, boom!" There was a big explosion in the plane.
The plane burns because of the fuel, but at the same time there are bombs on the plane, and when the combustion causes the bomb to explode, the scene is even more spectacular.
In the huge explosion, the plane that was already burning turned into fragments, and the burning fragments flew out in all directions, and one of the fragments, dragging thick black smoke, actually flew to the second row of planes behind!
Billowing black smoke, obscuring the sky and the sun, Lieutenant Steinkamp pulled up his plane, he did not dare to cross the black smoke, for fear that his plane would go out because of swallowing, just now, he fired 40 shells, the barrels became hot, and he could not fire again, he had to wait for a while.
The Soviet Aerospace Forces again made a serious mistake.
In fact, when deployed normally, their planes are far away from each other, and of course they are afraid that if something happens to one plane, it will affect the others.
Just yesterday, they were still scattered like this.
But today, in order to make a quick sortie, shorten the time, and can't wait to strike at the enemy, so they pushed their planes together, and they all waited at the end of the runway, ready to take off at any time.
And now, this centralized arrangement of theirs has brought terrible results, their bombers, in an instant, have lost a large area!
In the smoke and dust, the pilots in the rear are a little complaining, so let's leave some for us!
Eight scattered bases of Soviet naval aviation were hit almost simultaneously, and most of the naval aviation bases used this SB-2 bomber.
However, there are exceptions.
When Franz drove his Stuka to Belogorsk, he didn't find anything!
The coordinates are exactly right, and the nearby landmarks also indicate that the location I was looking for is correct, but I just didn't find the target!
Franz was not impatient, he had long expected this situation, after all, those airfields deployed in the field were too easy to camouflage, and if you want to find each other, you have to reduce the altitude even more!
So, when flying over the target for the third time, he almost lowered to thirty meters.
The propeller in front of him was blowing the wind, and the grass on the ground was about to be blown up, and suddenly, the machine gunner in the back seat saw where he was flying, and it seemed strange that the turf on the ground suddenly moved.
That's not a turf at all, it's a tarpaulin! When the tarpaulin was blown away by the wind of its own propeller, half of the wings below were suddenly exposed.
"There's a plane down there, quick, upside down!" The machine gunner in the back shouted.
This has happened many times, Franz immediately flipped the plane, and the machine gunner in the back seat just wanted to pull his machine gun, when he saw fire not far away, and the ambushed anti-aircraft guns also opened fire on them!
The machine gunner did not hesitate, and immediately fired the roaring bullet at the anti-aircraft gun position, and the flying bullet hit the opponent's gun shield, splashing sparks, and then, he saw a ball of blood splashing on the gun position, and a gunner was shot by him!
Franz quickly pulled up, and then with a high-angle dive, he flew towards the opponent's anti-aircraft gun position.
Stuka had always been facing the anti-aircraft guns, and they were diving towards the anti-aircraft guns at almost right angles under the heavy fire of the anti-aircraft guns, and the shells flew by their side, which was quite exciting.
After diving to 200 meters, Franz expertly dropped the bomb, pulled it up quickly, and then pushed the lever and flew towards the hiding place of the plane just now.
At this time, another friendly plane, Stuka, had also flown down in advance, and when the bomb was dropped on it, a flame rose and the plane was ignited!
When it burned, the outline was clearly revealed, it was actually a large four-engine bomber, it was the Pei-8!
There must be more than one nearby, keep bombing! The pilots of the Stuka bombers were excited, for them, the Pe-8 bomber was their favorite prey, and fighting one Pe-8 was equivalent to fighting ten Sb-2s!
The Pe-8 is a strategic bomber, and the Soviet Union is only equipped with a few dozen, and the poor performance of the last bombing of Berlin disappointed Moscow, and with the fall of the Baltic Sea coast, the Pe-8 bomber was transferred to the Crimean Peninsula, but here, they suffered another devastating blow.
