Chapter 1208: Destruction (17th Update)

"Attention wings, fly over the target in ten minutes. The bombers began to reduce altitude, preparing to drop bombs. Escort fighter formations, ready to suppress anti-aircraft fire on the ground, cover bombers for bombing! "Otto? Lieutenant General Desloch ordered.

There is almost no need to guess that the air defense of the Russian army on the ground must be ready for battle. It took the German fleet three hours to reach Kazan, and the Russians would not have guessed their target. But even so, Otto? Lieutenant General Desloch was also confident that he would be able to destroy all of the city's important factories in one fell swoop.

According to previously obtained information, the factories of the Russian Air Force for the production of Yak-1 fighters and their spare parts factories are concentrated in the southwestern part of Kashan. This made this area a key bombing target for the Luftwaffe.

"Quick! Fast! Prepare for the attack. The planes of the Germans are coming! "The Russian air defense troops in Kazan, at the urging of the officers, ran into the anti-aircraft gun position. A door of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, as well as aimed at the sky, waited for the Luftwaffe fleet to appear.

Most of these anti-aircraft guns were 40-mm anti-aircraft guns and 20-mm anti-aircraft guns, which posed little threat to German bombers at high altitudes. However, once these bombers descended in altitude, they were able to destroy them. Even if the Luftwaffe heavy bombers were very strong, they would definitely not be able to withstand these anti-aircraft guns.

It's just that the Luftwaffe bombers did not attack immediately, but let the escort fighters attack first.

When the Russian air defense troops on the ground saw a large number of German fighters diving downward, they immediately opened fire.

"Knock knock! Da-da-da-da! ”

Anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns fired wildly, shells exploded in the air, leaving clouds of black smoke behind. The tracer rounds fired from the anti-aircraft machine guns left traces in the air, as if forming a dense network of anti-aircraft fire.

However, for those BF-110 fighters flying at high speeds, such an attack density is nothing at all. It is often the Russian anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns that chase these fighters, but they can hardly hit them. It may seem like a dangerous situation, but it's actually safe.

"These idiots!" The Luftwaffe pilots couldn't help but laugh when they saw that the Buhwegian and Russian air defense positions on the ground were exposed.

This is mainly the reason why these Russian air defense forces have encountered such a situation for the first time. If they had experience, they would have known that the bombers were the ones who posed a lethal threat to them compared to these fighters. Therefore, when facing these fighters, they should exercise as much restraint as possible and wait until the bombers reduce their altitude before attacking. In that case, it would have been possible to inflict large casualties on the Luftwaffe's bomber group. However, these experiences can only be gained at the cost of blood.

"Suppress the anti-aircraft positions of the Russians!"

The officers of the German escort fighter unit, gave the order.

These BF-110 fighters of the Luftwaffe began to launch attacks on the already exposed positions of the Russian air defense of the United States.

"Da Da Da!"

A BF-110 fighter jet dived down from a high altitude and strafed an air defense position of the Russian army. Dense bullets poured on this air defense position, and many Russian air defense soldiers were killed.

"Knock knock!"

Machine gun bullets poured into the Russian air defense positions, and the Russian soldiers were torn to pieces, and even the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were destroyed.

Under the blows of the Luftwaffe escort fighters, the Russian air defense of the Buffapians suffered heavy casualties. A lot of anti-aircraft positions were dumbfired.

Otto? Seeing this, Lieutenant General Desloch decisively gave the order for the bombers to attack.

The group of German bombers in the sky, began to descend in altitude.

The first to attack were H-11 heavy bombers, which gradually descended from tens of thousands of meters in wings to only two kilometers above the ground. As planned, they flew over the plant, located in the southwestern part of Kashan.

The magazine opened, and one aerial bomb after another roared and smashed to the ground.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Dense explosions rang out, flames soared into the sky, and smoke and dust dispersed. One after another factories were destroyed in the explosion, and the machinery and equipment inside naturally could not be saved.

Countless Russian workers fled from the factory and fled in all directions. However, in the large-scale bombing of the Luftwaffe, their lives seemed so fragile that they wanted to escape safely, but found that they could not do it at all. Most of these workers were killed in the explosion.

The bomber group of the Luftwaffe, methodically bombing according to the plan. After a wing dropped the bombs, the bombers immediately climbed to an altitude of 10,000 meters before returning to Germany. After all, at this altitude, the fighters of the Russian Air Force pose no threat to them, and they can safely withdraw to Germany.

"It's over, our factory is over! Those Yak-1 fighters are being assembled! Without these planes, what are we going to do against the Germans? "When the person in charge of the factory saw their factory destroyed, his heart was distressed as if he was dripping blood.

The Yak-1 fighter has become the hope of the Russian Air Force, although the performance is still not comparable to the advanced fighters of the Luftwaffe, but at least they have some strength to fight back. But now, the Germans are the first to strike, directly destroying their factories. Although the factory can be rebuilt, and the destroyed parts can be re-produced, it will undoubtedly take time. Moreover, the Germans could bomb Kazan, and undoubtedly other cities. This will continue to cause losses for the Russian Air Force.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Under the intensive bombardment of thousands of bombers of the Luftwaffe, almost the entire factory around Kazan was destroyed. Even most of the city was not spared by the bombing.

Although, in the course of the bombing, several bombers were shot down by anti-aircraft fire from the ground. However, compared to the losses they inflicted on Burussia, such a small loss is nothing. There were also quite a few bombers that were hit by anti-aircraft fire from the ground, but the damage was not great, and they were able to persist in returning home.

After all, these heavy bombers weigh up to twenty or thirty tons, and their fuselage is structurally strong, and minor trauma will not cause fatal damage to them. It is precisely because of this that this is why the fighters of the Luftwaffe must be equipped with cannons. Only cannons will be able to destroy these heavy bombers. Aviation machine guns, in the case of them, pose a very limited threat to them.
