The sudden blackening of the city in front did not make the Soviet pilots retreat, they knew that even the roar of their own planes would alert the enemy, and now that they were so close, it was normal for the other side to find their own.

They are going to continue bombing, and in front of them is the capital of the Germans, the heart of the evil empire!

The Ye-2 bomber continued to rise into the air, and just as Captain Stepanov's plane had just climbed to a thousand meters into the air, several beams suddenly covered him.

How is this possible? Captain Stepanov was flying around on purpose, who would have thought that he would be covered by these pillars of light?

Of course, he would not know, because after flying high, he had already been discovered by the ground-based radar, which gave his coordinates to the searchlight, which quickly found him.

It doesn't take less than a minute.

When the pillar of light below covered him, Captain Stypanov immediately became nervous, in the dark night, it was not a good thing to be spotted by a searchlight, he pushed the operating stick, wanted to dive into the low altitude, anyway, now the whole of Berlin is dark, he can't find the target, it's useless to fly high.

His movements were very fast, and the Ye-2 bomber went from climbing to diving, but it was only a matter of more than ten seconds, but in just these ten seconds, his life and death had already been decided.

"Tom, tom!"

"Boom, boom!"

Anti-aircraft guns of 40 mm, 88 mm, 128 mm, all kinds of calibers beckoned to him, and the trajectory of the tracer shells on the ground accurately intersected with the bomber.

"Boom!" This Ye-2 bomber was hit and exploded in the air, and a brilliant spark bloomed in the sky, and the pilots of the two bombers behind him trembled.

"Open the bomb bay and we'll drop the bomb immediately." Lieutenant Malinin shouted.

The mission was to bomb Berlin, and now, under their planes, is the land of Berlin, quickly drop the bombs and return home, anyway, it is pitch black below, who knows where to throw it.

No matter where it is, it is the land of the empire, and as long as you throw it down, your mission will be completed.

The bombardier did not hesitate either, and immediately after receiving the order from Lieutenant Malinin, he pressed the button.

The bomb bay door in the belly of the plane opened like this, and a series of bombs fell.

As a newly commissioned bomber, the performance of the Ye-2 is quite excellent, and in short-range bombing, it can even carry more than 5 tons of bombs, and now in this long-distance flight, it only carries 2 100 kg incendiary bombs and 6 100 kg high-explosive bombs.

Eight bombs fell, and the whole plane suddenly became lighter, and Lieutenant Malinin kicked the rudder and began to turn in the airspace ahead.

"Now let's go home!" "We have dropped our bombs over Berlin, we have completed the mission!" ”

Lieutenant Malinin took one last glance at the city where the searchlights flickered, and he knew that his bomb must have been dropped on the outskirts, but now he didn't care so much.

And even if it is thrown to the outskirts? He was the first plane to bomb Berlin!

"Kubiko's bomber, too, was discovered." At this moment, the machine gunner on the turret in the rear looked at the bomber shrouded by the beam of the searchlight and said in despair.

They were the last lonely, and the other two bombers were shot down over Berlin, but later, his eyes flashed again, and after Kubiko's plane was discovered, it was attacked, but the plane did not explode in the air, and at this time, everyone on the plane jumped from the burning plane.

At least they're alive.

If it is a pilot aircraft, there will be two kinds of radios, which can support up to 3,000 kilometers, and cannot talk, only in the form of wireless telegraphy, which is transmitted to the rear, but they are not, just an ordinary bomber in formation, only a radio for communication, which is used in the formation, and the distance will not exceed 600 kilometers.

Therefore, they can't report to the rear now, and they have to return to the ship before they can report back what happened here.

At this time, they did not know what the situation of the two formations that took off before, but it can be speculated that it was definitely not good, because when they arrived, Berlin was still a city that never sleeped, which means that the two formations in the early stage did not reach the sky over Berlin at all.

Even if it was a night bombardment of Berlin, there would be so many unknown factors that would make them suffer such a heavy price, and the process of their return was destined to be full of thrills.

Lieutenant Malinin did not dare to fly too high, he knew that the Germans had a powerful ground radar, and at the same time the Germans were quite powerful night fighters, and now Lieutenant Malinin could only fly his plane almost close to the ground.

No one spoke, this night, for everyone, it was a life and death experience, and in the formation before departure, only one of them bomber carried out the mission.

Flying at night makes people's physical exertion greater, and even the machine gunner is tired on the whole plane, he can't rest, he must look at the sky at any time, in case a German night fighter comes up, he must be the first to find out and attack.

Time, little by little, they flew over land and into the Baltic Sea, where they continued to fly low on the surface for an hour. In the east, the white of the fish belly has gradually been revealed, and the sky is about to dawn.

"We were on two wrong courses, and now, we are about to enter the skies over Estonian land." The navigator looked at the twisting coastline in the distance and said to Malinen: "Are we going to change course?" ”

Malinin looked at his fuel display, now there is not much fuel left, but he can still hold on, thinking about the terrible dirt runway when taking off, Malinin was in his heart for a while, so many planes failed when they took off, and it had a lot to do with that dirt runway, he didn't want to land there.

"Let's just keep flying along the course. You will be able to land in Petersburg. Malinin took the chart, lowered his head, and shouted to the navigator below in front.

Keep flying!

In the east, a red sun, slowly rising upward, this is a new and beautiful day, the bombing crew members who survived the catastrophe, with exhaustion on their faces, they continue to hold on.

On the ground, an anti-aircraft artillery unit is also facing the rising sun, making preparations for the day.

The Germans bypassed Estonia directly, and the advance approached Petersburg directly, and the Estonian defenders were still undertaking important tasks to defend their territory.

The battle on the ground continues, and for the air defense forces, they cannot spare any enemy fighter plane flying to the east!

The anti-aircraft artillerymen were holding their lunch boxes and lining up to eat, when suddenly, the air defense sirens sounded with a whining.

The anti-aircraft gunner Aranov was excited by the fat piece of pork in his lunch box, and when he heard the siren, he immediately threw away his lunch box and ran towards his position.

The bombers of the Germans are coming!
