Chapter 1205: Out of Reach (14th Update)

"Damn, are the Germans going to bomb Moscow? Someday, I'll be able to set foot in Berlin! Hiding in the bomb shelter, Joseph's face turned pale, and his hands were clenched into fists.

Moscow, as the capital of Burussia, if it is bombed by the Germans, it will undoubtedly make the entire Burussia lose face. Joseph himself felt very shameless.

At the same time, Joseph became more and more dissatisfied with the performance of the Russian Air Force. How he hoped that the Russian Air Force would take off fighter jets to intercept the Luftwaffe as soon as it detected the Luftwaffe invasion, instead of just sounding the air raid sirens and letting them hide in bomb shelters. However, Joseph also knew that there was no way to do this, who made the strength of the Russian Air Force too weak and could not be compared with the Luftwaffe at all. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.

Hiding in a bomb shelter and waiting for the Germans to bomb it was undoubtedly an ordeal for anyone.

However, Joseph waited for a long time, but there was no explosion overhead, which made him a little puzzled.

"What's going on? Didn't it say that the Germans sent a large number of bombers to bomb Moscow? Why hasn't there been any movement yet? Joseph asked.

Joseph even wondered if it was a mistake, the Germans didn't send bombers at all, but those guys became frightened birds, and the slightest wind and grass was enough to choke.

"Comrade Joseph, the General Staff reports that the planes of the Germans did not come to Moscow, but continued to the east." It was a moment before a staff member came to report.

Joseph's face suddenly became very ugly. The Germans did not choose to bomb Moscow, but went to bomb other places. This meant that the Germans could attack Moscow at any time. Only this time, it was the Germans who saw other cities as more important targets than Moscow. It was as if the Burussians had been slaughtered by the Germans. This made Joseph very dissatisfied.

"Bastard! The Germans must have gone to bomb the factories we moved to the east. They are going to strike at our war potential! "Joseph was not a fool and was easily able to guess the Luftwaffe's targets. However, this made him even angrier. The current Buen-Russia is already at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Germany. If those important factories are destroyed, it will greatly traumatize the military production capacity of Burussia and Russia, and it will be very detrimental to the next war.

"Give the Air Force an order that no matter what method they use, they must intercept the German bombers, and they must not be allowed to destroy our factories!" Joseph gave the order.

Although he knew that with the current strength of the Russian Air Force, it would be difficult to withstand the bombing of the Germans. However, in order to ensure the safety of the rear plant, he had to ask the Air Force to intercept it with all its might. Otherwise, once the Germans destroyed their factories, it would be very difficult for the Russians to win this war. It will be very difficult to keep going.

"Yes, Comrade Joseph." The secretary immediately conveyed Joseph's order.

The command of the Russian Air Force, Admiral Astakhov and Admiral Zavoronkov, is in a hurry. They were relieved that the Luftwaffe did not bomb Moscow. Because this saved Buo's face and didn't make Joseph mad. However, instead of choosing Moscow as a bombing target, the Germans continued to fly east. Obviously, they are going to attack the important cities in the rear of Burussia! To a certain extent, this tactic of the Germans will undoubtedly hurt Burussia even more.

"Comrade commander, an order from the Kremlin!" A staff officer handed the telegram to Colonel-General Astakhov.

After reading the telegram, Admiral Astakhov suddenly sighed.

"Comrade Commander, do you have any instructions?" Admiral Zavoronkov asked.

"Comrade Zavoronkov, Comrade Joseph asked us to take off fighters with all our strength to intercept the bomber group of the Germans." Admiral Astakhov said helplessly.

After hearing this, Admiral Zavoronkov did not know what to say.

"Order the air force airfields along the route to take off fighters immediately! In any case, the Germans dispatched such a large group of planes, and if they were allowed to bomb them, we would have suffered heavy losses. They must be intercepted. Admiral Astakhov said.

"However, it will cost us even more." Admiral Zavoronkov reminded. At the beginning of the war, the Russian Air Force suffered heavy losses. Even after a few months, he still hasn't recovered. Although, they received quite a few fighters from the Americans. But the loss of those elite pilots is not so easy to compensate. Besides, neither their I-16 fighters, nor their I-15 fighters, nor their P-40 fighters, aided by the Americans, were probably no match for the advanced fighters of the Germans. Sending fighter planes to intercept is nothing more than sending them to death.

"I know, but we don't have any other options. Otherwise, Comrade Joseph would not have let us go! Admiral Astakhov said.

Admiral Zavoronkov nodded: "I hope our pilots can defeat the Germans!" ”

Subsequently, the command of the Russian Air Force in Burenos Blanc issued an order for the German aircraft group to pass by the airfields along the route and immediately take off fighters to intercept the Luftwaffe air force group.

After receiving the order, the airfields of the Russian Air Force sounded the alarm. The pilots rushed to their planes, took off with the help of ground crews, and prepared for the battle.

One by one, P-40 fighters and I-16 fighters began to take off, preparing to intercept the Luftwaffe fleet.

It's just that the rear of the Russian army is vast and there are many airports, and even if the Russian Air Force still has a lot of fighters, the number of fighters that can be dispatched at this time is not too much. Moreover, whether it is a P-40 fighter or an I-16 fighter, there is no way for the German fleet flying above 10,000 meters.

Because the P-40 fighter has an altitude limit of only 8,840 meters, and the I-16 fighter has an even more unbearable ceiling, only 8,200 meters. And the flight altitude of the German fleet reached tens of thousands of meters. This meant that they simply could not reach the Luftwaffe fleet.

Of course, when the Luftwaffe bombers dropped bombs, they would have lowered their altitude. When the time comes, it will be the target of these fighters of the Russian Air Force. It's just that if they want to attack the Luftwaffe bombers, they must first defeat the long-range fighters of the Luftwaffe who are escorting them.
