Chapter 1434: Dawn Comes
If it were a regular army, it would not have fought so badly, after all, the Soviet army, no matter how bad it was, could have a few tanks, and the 58th Army still had artillery in its hands.
It's a pity that these troops were attracted to Armenia, and there was an emptiness in the oil fields, and now Major General Khorminko, even if he has a T-34 tank, is enough to sweep these infantry fighting vehicles, and then rush to the oil fields in one go!
Now, it can only be heaped by human life!
The battle in the Baku oil field is raging, and no one knows that in the Ural-Vol refueling field, which is known as the second Baku, an even more tragic scene is about to be staged.
The night was dark, and the period before dawn was the darkest.
Under the dark darkness of the night, several cars drove along the rough road.
"Yes, we must have the right engine, it must not be a pulse engine, it must be able to burn continuously and stably!" At this time, in the back compartment of the car, several people were still discussing.
Korolev's eyes were full of hope: "Our rockets are short of engines, Grushko, you must design excellent rocket engines for us!" ”
In the early days, rocket engines could not burn continuously, burning intermittently, such as the German missile, which was called a buzzing bomb because of the buzzing sound.
Grushko was still wearing his work clothes during labor: "Don't worry, I completed all the model designs while I was working, just waiting for the opportunity, and when we arrived at Special Prison No. 4, we started immediately, I heard that they had already transported the equipment, I couldn't wait." ”
At this time, Grushko was still grateful to Korolev, because Korolev asked Beria to turn him around, and it is said that after going to Special Prison No. 4, they no longer have to work during the day, and can finally devote themselves to the rocket business.
After Germany's defeat in World War II, the Soviet Union snatched the materials of the train, while the United States snatched the R&D team headed by Braun, and both sides began in-depth research and development on the basis of Germany.
But, in reality, the development of rockets by various countries is not too late.
For example, Valentin Petrovich Grushko, one of the same founders of Soviet space technology and the founder of rocket engines, as early as 1929, after graduating from Leningrad University, Grushko proposed to establish a research group on electric and liquid fuel rocket engines in the gas power laboratory of the university, on the basis of which a special experimental design room was established and became the head of the laboratory.
Later, in 1932, after changing the name of the design office to the Jet Engine Design Bureau, he began to engage in theoretical research and experiments on the problem of liquid-fuel rocket engines, and led the development of the first liquid rocket engines in the Soviet Union.
Throughout the 30s, Grushko led the creation of prototypes of many liquid-fuel rocket engines, such as "ОРМ-1" to "ОРМ-102", as well as test rockets equipped with such engines; Piston and turbopump devices of rocket propellant and input propellant of various compositions were proposed and studied. Formed vents for the combustion chamber, ceramic insulation, and universal joint hangers for engines to control the rocket's flight were created.
It can be said that if the normal pace of scientific research is followed, the Soviet Union has already started the development of rockets in sync with Germany, but unfortunately, the vigorous purge began.
Grushko was also arrested and exiled. The USSR was delayed for many years.
Now, he can finally continue his work, Grushko is very happy, he does not know that later, the two will turn against each other, and Grushko also publicly impeached Korolev to the top, and the contradictions between the two eventually led to the failure of the moon landing project.
"In the future, let us work closely together and strive to send our rockets into the sky as soon as possible!" Korolev said.
The two men clasped hands tightly, and now, at a time when the Soviets were losing ground and the country was in constant decline, not all of them had lost the confidence to resist.
They are fighting for the future of the Soviets! They were convinced that it was the darkness before the dawn and that the Soviets would survive it, and that although the Purge was terrible, they had not lost their loyalty to the Soviets!
In the east, the whiteness of the fish belly is slowly revealed.
For such a vast territory as the Soviet Union, air defense was very difficult, and in later generations, when the Cold War was so fierce, and all kinds of air defense radars were everywhere, there were still West German pilots flying small planes and finally landing in Moscow, flying thousands of kilometers all the way, which was like entering a no-man's land.
And in this era, the airspace of the Soviet Union is even more full of loopholes, the Soviet Union did not have advanced radar technology, in the history of World War II, mainly Britain and the United States provided some radar to the Soviet Union.
And now, only the United States remains, which has also provided the USSR with some radars, but they are all installed on the Western Front, in the direction of Moscow, in the vast central part of the country, which is simply undefended.
For the first time, the German reconnaissance plane took the central route, in fact, to check whether this route was safe, but as a result, the reconnaissance plane flew around with great swagger, but no one noticed it, and when it flew over the various oil fields, it did not attract attention.
Therefore, the bomber unit also took this route.
The Junkers-290 bomber, piloted by Colonel Helmutpoyler, flew at the front.
During the long flight, they alternate to rest, and the aircraft has an autopilot function, as long as it is in the cruising mode, it is more comfortable than the previous Junkers-88.
At the time of the attack on Britain, Helmtpole was just a captain, flying a Junker-88 bomber in the famous Scapa Bay sneak attack.
At that time, he was extremely envious of the Junkers-290 bomber, the kind of flying big guy, it was simply a fortress in the sky!
It's just that at that time the number of Junkers-290 was still quite small, and only the best pilots could master it. And now, over time, Helmutpoyler rose to the rank of colonel and drove the Junkers-290 as he wished.
How comfortable is it? For long flights, there's even a hammock in the back!
There are passages in the front and back of the plane, although it is a narrow passage that can only be passed on your stomach, but compared to before, it is also a huge improvement, all the passages are wrapped in soft leather, extremely comfortable.
In the whole flight, only the navigator is the hardest, and he must stick to his post.
Now, as the east slowly turned white and the sun shone into the cabin, the navigator bathed in the morning sun on the right and put his eyes on the sights.
The last landmark, already below.
"Attention, to the 17th landmark, the route correction point, now that we are on the right course, ready to enter the bombing route." The navigator shouted.
Correct the route one last time, and at the same time, enter the bombing route!
Colonel Helmtpole excitedly relayed the order on the radio, and behind him, bombers scattered in formation.
