Historically, the Soviet Air Force and Navy bombed separately, first the first bombing was carried out by the Navy, and then the Air Force carried out several bombings one after another, but now, for good results, for the sake of political propaganda, the bombers of the Navy and the Air Force, assembled on the Estonian island of Ezele, they will go to the capital of that evil country, perform a great feat, drop bombs over Berlin!

Yekinny sat in his cockpit, the DB-3 bomber for the Navy, a twin-engine medium bomber developed by the Ilyushin Design Bureau in 1936, and the main structure was a steel tube frame skin fuselage that was popular in the 30s.

This aircraft was widely equipped in the Soviet army, and a total of 1,528 were built between 1936 and 1939, and all of them were replaced with Vish-3 variable-pitch propellers in 39 years, and their performance was greatly improved.

This bomber is also the main bomber of naval aviation, and its performance is relatively stable, however, its range is seriously insufficient. Like the American B-25 bombing idea, they did so by reducing the bomb load and increasing the fuel load.

Now, this kind of bomber only carries 750 kg of bombs, you know, even a Stuka can carry a ton of bombs.

A bomb of this magnitude is better than nothing merely talk, and propaganda is more meaningful.

At this time, fuel tanks were added to the inside of the aircraft, and the whole aircraft was still heavy.

In order to avoid being discovered by the Germans, three bonfires were lit on the side of the dirt runway, at the end and middle of the runway, to indicate the direction.

Skillfully flipping the various electric gates, the M-87A engines on both sides were activated with a roar, and then, Yekinny pushed the lever, released the brakes, and the plane slid onto the dirt runway.

There were some bumps, he gently increased the throttle, the engines on both sides made a roar, and when he reached the middle of the runway, 950 horsepower burst out, the plane continued to accelerate, and when he saw the fire at the end, he pulled the control stick, and the bomber flew into the sky easily.

When taking off on a dirty runway, you have to be gentle.

This medium bomber, with only three crew members, the navigator and bombardier sitting in front, entered the working state from this time, and in the darkness, he could only use a rudimentary radio compass to guide the plane to the correct direction, and there was absolutely no miscarriage.

Compared with the advanced navigation equipment of the Germans, the Soviet Union was much behind, but now the pilots in the crew that took off were the most experienced people, and they believed in their own abilities.

One after another, DB-3 bombers took off from the runway, and behind them, the Pei-8 bombers were preparing for takeoff.

The Pe-8 was a large four-engine bomber, almost comparable to the Junkers-290 of the Germans, but in appearance, in fact, the mechanical failures of this aircraft were endless.

Major Konstantin Yegorov sat in his cabin, and his plane was in the first place.

Now that the DB-3 had taken off for twenty minutes, their plane was finished, and Konstantin looked outside at the pile of firewood, which several soldiers were adding to keep it burning.

Under the firelight of firewood and grass, the Pe-8 began to set off.

"Engine No. 1 starts."

"Engine Four starts."

The four engines were starting in an orderly manner, and Konstantin stared at the large row of instruments in front of him, especially the oil pump pressure, the most important of which was the oil pump pressure, and many flights proved that mechanical failures began with the oil pressure pump.

When all four engines finally started, he pushed open the window on his side, watched the propeller turn, reflected in the fire of the firewood, and released the brakes.

"Attention, we're about to take off."

Each Pe-8 bomber has a crew of 11 members, and at this time, they are all ready for battle at their respective posts.

This expedition, they will take a lot of risks, although it is a night bombardment, it is also difficult, but they will definitely not back down because of this, this is their glorious mission!

The engines were rumbling, and the Pe-8 bombers began to glide down the runway, accelerating faster than the Navy's DB-3 bombers, after all, they had to drive at full power to take off on such a short runway.

The wheels were constantly jolting on the ground, driving the whole plane to tremble, and the Pe-8 bomber shook and shook, accelerating from the runway, accelerating.

At the end of the runway, Konstantin pulled the lever, and at this time he was still nervous, what if he couldn't fly? The runway is too short and the speed is not enough.

Fortunately, as he pulled the operating stick, the Pei-8 bomber, which was more than 30 tons, successfully left the runway, pulled up at the end, and spread its wings and flew into the blue sky.

Fortunately, it has already flew, and then it is to climb to the cruising altitude, wait for the rear planes, and fly together in formation to Berlin.

The engine was still roaring, pulling the Pe-8 bomber to climb, and suddenly, Konstantin saw the gauge in front of him, and the hands began to shake irregularly.

Oh no! Konstantin suddenly became nervous in his heart: "Mechanic, quickly, reduce the fuel supply to the engine!" ”

The current Pei-8 is equipped with the latest ACH-30B diesel engine, and the performance of this engine is still quite poor, especially the fuel flow of the engine has to be corrected by the crew themselves.

This is not a matter of mediating the throttle, high altitude and low altitude, the air intake is different, and the fuel intake of the engine must be adjusted according to the different air intake, which is a meticulous job.

Every time it takes off, it is specially adjusted by the mechanic, who would have thought that in the midst of the tension, the mechanic actually forgot.

Konstantin shouted loudly while nervously turning his head to look at the engine, and sure enough, the four engines on the left and right had already begun to spew black smoke, the fuel was sprayed too much, and the combustion was incomplete, and it was time to turn off the engine next.

Be quick!

Only then did the mechanic react, nervously twisting the knobs, and the two engines on the right finally reduced the black smoke and began to normalize, but the two engines on the left were too late.

The propeller stopped turning, and with the power of the right side, the plane immediately began to yaw to the left, and Konstantin pushed his lever to the right, but it was still useless.

The plane turned half a circle to the left, and then, all at once, it fell like a big rock.

Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
