Chapter 678: Bomb Dropping
It was Stalin who spoke, and he knew what was going on at home with his deputy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEverything in the second airfield is kept secret from the outside world, and the people in the academy will only know that the deputy commander has returned, but they will not know that five commissioners have come at once, and Vukinskaya will not know about it.
However, Lin Jun didn't leave for the time being, so he quickly tested the flight, and it was not good for him, the host, to leave.
"I'll just call back, and I won't go back to Moscow in the evening." After saying goodbye to Stalin and the others, he turned around and asked Arkhipov: "How can I make a phone call in the academy?" ”
"I'll take you."
The entire No. 2 airfield was tightly cordoned, with only three telephones: one in the control tower, one in the command room below, all guarded, and the last locked in an office.
When he got to the office, he left himself alone, and Arkhipov left. Stalin and the others are still outside, and he can't do without the dean of the academy.
As for Andrey, Zhukov is his home, leave it alone. But even so, Landeskoch and Alyosha stood at the door of the office, strictly guarding the pomp of the Marshal of the Soviet Union: the door must be double-posted.
Shaking the handle of the intercom, "I'm Marshal Plunyakov, pick up my house." ”
It was the telephone room of the academy that was connected, "Comrade Marshal, you wait a minute, I will connect it for you immediately." ”
As soon as the female operator finished speaking, she soon heard the phone standby sound.
After a while, Vukinskaya's voice came from the earpiece: "Hello, who? ”
"I, Andrei. Kaya, why are you answering the phone? ”
It's a little weird, what about the service staff?
"I didn't think you could come back, today on the rest day, I asked the driver and the nursery staff to take the two children to Moscow, there is a children's drama staged today, it is too noisy at home."
The war was going on, but as the capital of the Soviet Union, the lives of the citizens of Moscow had to go on, and there were all kinds of performances, but there were many fewer than usual.
"Oh. I have something to do at the airport, and when I come back in the evening, it's hard to say what time it is, so I don't have to leave food for me. By the way, how do you feel? ”
"Hehe, it's okay, it's just that I can't sleep well at night, let's talk about it when I come back."
"Then I'll hang up."
It's all old husbands and wives, and they're not so crooked. But having said that, when his wife hung up the phone, Lin Jun put down the receiver.
Back on the tarmac, although the sun was already setting, everyone was still outside.
Soviets loved to be outdoors in the summer.
The table and a large number of chairs were moved out, and I was about to eat.
The canteen uses a small car to pull a few large insulated buckets, and a large basket of rice bowls, because it is summer, there are many kinds of vegetables. Stalin and others were not particular either: one person had a big rice bowl, and they ate in the open air.
Stalin also cut a large piece of the big leba himself, and while eating, he said to Kalinin and others next to him: "How many years have we not eaten together like this?" ”
"It's been almost 20 years, right?"
Kalinin was a little emotional: the table was a rough wooden table with no lacquer, and the chairs were of the most rudimentary kind, and everyone ate with a large dining shed, as if returning to the time of the Civil War.
It's just that everyone is old and no longer young.
……
The mechanic checked the state of the plane again, and the armorer hung the huge counterweight mock bomb in the magazine for the "ghost", and the fuel began to be filled, and everything was ready.
"Equipped with a parachute?"
Seeing that there was something behind the tail of the counterweight bomb, Voroshilov asked Lin Jun.
There was no one else nearby, so Lin Jun replied: "The power is too great, if you drop it directly, it is estimated that the carrier aircraft will not be able to escape the first half of the shock wave, and you must use a parachute to gain time." ”
In the darkness of the sky and the loud roar, the "ghost", painted in the protective color of the night, was propelled by four powerful DP-1-2 turbojet engines and finally rose into the sky after a long run!
The sound of jet planes taking off was deafening, and everyone on the runway felt the ground tremble slightly! Especially people who haven't seen a jet take off in person are shocked by this sound!
Even if you have experienced the rain of guns and the roar of artillery fire, it will be a completely different feeling!
"It's a bit long."
Hearing Stalin's words, Lin Jun said helplessly: "The current jet aircraft is like this, it cannot be compared with the propeller aircraft in terms of take-off and landing distance, and the same is the case with the Yi-20 jet fighter, which is slightly better than the Phantom."
And it must be a cement runway, and even the hard asphalt runway under the current technology cannot meet its requirements,"
Stalin's brows also furrowed, "Then in the current offensive operations, the I-20 basically won't play much role." ”
"That's it, so before 43 years, we didn't plan to put the I-20 into front-line air force operations, and we didn't manufacture it in large quantities, it was too demanding on logistics."
Lin Jun is telling the truth: in offensive operations, it is basically impossible to obtain an airfield with an intact and long-length cement runway!
At present, on the Soviet-German battlefield, most of the airfields on both sides are actually field airfields, and most of them are grassy runways, and airfields with temporary special runways laid with special steel plates for hollow grids are considered good.
Near the front line, not to mention anywhere else, even a big city like Kyiv can't get a cement runway that can meet the conditions for jet take-off and landing, how can these new aircraft be put into front-line combat immediately?
On the front line, in the most extreme case: the field airfield is only 10 kilometers from the line of fire, and it is basically a matter of throwing bombs on the enemy's head as soon as they fly!
Such an airfield would be shelled by the enemy's long-range artillery if not careful, the few planes were hidden in the woods, and there was not even a single house in the airfield, only a few tents.
The only thing that can be counted on in this situation is grass, and many times there are still undulating grass, and the take-off and landing conditions can make many American pilots worry.
However, the pilots of the Soviet Union and Germany are already accustomed to it, so in terms of take-off and landing technology at field airfields, the pilots of the Soviet and German sides can be said to be proud of the world.
"Jets are the future, and if you want to win the war, you have to count on propellers for the time being."
The plane had already taken off, and everyone went to the command room, where they could hear the reports of the pilots and the shooting range.
But there will be a little wait: the planes will drop their bombs at an altitude of 12,000 metres - and the ground range will then be marked by powerful searchlights.
Dropping the atomic bomb is not good enough to do it at night.
The range is actually not far from the airport, and the "ghost" takes the way of climbing first, flying eastward, and then circling back.
Pilot Ilyushchenko could be heard shouting from the loudspeaker in the command room, "The speed has reached the standard speed before the bomb was dropped, and there are still 20 seconds before the bomb window is dropped." ”
Lin Jun answered for the committee members: "Now the speed of the plane should be about 920 kilometers, and the maximum speed of the ghost can reach 980 kilometers, but it is controlled at about 850 kilometers when cruising." (To be continued.) )
