There are not many people on the streets of Moscow today, the weather is so cold that a cold snap can drop the night temperature in Moscow at the end of December to below minus 30 degrees!

At today's meeting, Alexander Sergeevich-Shcherbakov, first secretary of the Moscow Oblast Party Committee and first ******** of the Moscow City CPC Committee, gave a report on the production and people's living conditions in the capital since the beginning of winter, mainly the preparation and distribution of materials, as well as the conversion of factories under the Moscow city in the past few months.

Not only those machinery manufacturing enterprises, but also countless small cooperative workshops run by the neighborhood are serving the war as long as they have no production stoppage. The Muscovites had already moved into action, with only a few young men remaining in the necessary positions in the city, and the rest having already been conscripted.

When winter came, Muscovites donated their warm clothing, leaving only the necessary ones, and donated all their salaries and savings, and the people of the Soviet capital set a glorious example of their actions. People are working selflessly, all for the sake of war, without complaint!

In addition to two canneries in the east of the city, which are still producing the necessary military cans, half of the people and factories have been turned into mine factories, and the box manufacturing branch of the biscuit factory next door has become a grenade factory...... On the outskirts of Moscow, Muscovites with animal-powered carts continue to arrive every day in the area of a simple factory with black smoke emitting from a large chimney, a cluster of newly built sand turning factories.

Moscow has always been very environmentally friendly, and there are no small enterprises such as sand turning plants that pollute the environment. But the supply of steel will outstrip demand, so the Moscow Municipal Party Committee has temporarily built a sand turning plant in the far suburbs, and all the scrap steel and rotten iron collected in the city of Moscow are used, and the products produced are constantly sent to canneries and packaging box factories in the eastern suburbs.

The war consumed a staggering amount of strategic materials, and ordinary anti-infantry mine shells, grenade shells, which do not require the best steel to make, workers use a variety of scrap steel to make iron, fusing a certain amount of cast iron and manganese, saving a lot of valuable steel for the factories that make precision weapons.

Don't look like a small workshop-style production, but the quality is not worse than the quality of the old military factory, and the workers have almost harsh requirements for craftsmanship and quality! The troops that passed through Moscow for railway maneuvers were replenished with a sufficient number of high-quality grenades each time, and more of the munitions produced were constantly sent in stuffy tankers to where they were needed on the fronts.

Comrade Gu ******** said that in order to collect more raw materials, some Muscovites have removed the iron bars from their windows and sent them to the scrap metal collection station in the community, and then sent them to the sand turning plant, although the municipal authorities do not encourage this.

A few years ago, Lin Jun designed a cast shell wooden-handled grenade, which is being produced in more than half of the grenade factories in the Soviet Union, and its simple and reliable structure, simple production steps and use methods can not be simpler, won the unanimous praise of the front-line officers and soldiers and manufacturing workers, and the front-line infantry units have even affectionately called it "the deputy commander's Thor's hammer".

It's not the most powerful, but it's definitely the most convenient to use, and the most important thing is that the front-line troops can get a steady stream of the required number of "hammers" without having to think about saving ammunition all the time!

The original 1914/30 grenades have been discontinued and have been depleted in the troop storerooms. Compared to the 1914/30 grenade, which was stamped and formed from steel plates, the wooden-handled grenade is now more convenient to manufacture and has much lower requirements for the material of the projectile. Regardless of the fact that it was made of "scrap copper and rotten iron", the uniform thickness and the fragmentation grooves prefabricated by the workers on the top made the number of fragments, the power and the sharpness of the fragments were absolutely comparable to those of the Type 1914/30 grenade.

It was supposed to be filled with ******* explosives, but now there is a shortage of explosives in *******, and most of the grenades made in Moscow are made with ammonium nitrate.

The Muscovites said they would not need an iron fence, and that they would tear it down and make a grenade to kill the fascists! If it weren't for the fact that the community collection station really didn't accept it, some aunts would even donate all the stainless steel plates at home to make grenades!

The meeting of the high command was held, and the secretary of the Moscow regional party committee was eligible to participate, and Shcherbakov's all-round report said that the section of "tearing down the iron fence" did not have much reaction from others, but it made Lin Jun suddenly think of one of the things he had heard about in his previous life, and a smile appeared on his face for a moment.

That's one thing recorded in the chronicle of the elementary school I read: the school had a small blast furnace, and a few overzealous young teachers wanted to tear down the iron fence of the warehouse and make a big smelt of steel, but they were stopped by the upright old headmaster -- how could they destroy the finished product and make raw materials?!

However, Lin Jun's mind was only slightly distracted just now - obviously the two things are different, and it is still acceptable to use them to make grenades, because compared to this will be a door god that will not be used in the city, of course, it is important to become a weapon that can fight fascists. However, such a thing really cannot be promoted, otherwise by the end of the war, the whole of Moscow will become an "undefended city".

All for the sake of war!

The Mercedes-Benz bulletproof sedan arrived downstairs in the residential area at night, and there were already two people waiting for Lin Jun at home, Andlupf and Pauker.

Today, Andlupf is full of red light and extremely high in nature, and when he saw Lin Jun, he said: "Andrey, I have been suffocated for half a year!" "Comrade Admiral, there is a bit of a taste of pride.

"Haven't you finally gotten your wish! Don't irritate me! ”

Lin Jun casually threw the coat to Leonov, which would make him not angry with his brother's words.

Andlupuf also has a house in Moscow, in the same building as Lin Jun, but on the stairs next door - this will not stop him, and he ran here to find himself because in today's meeting it was decided that the main force of the base camp reserve aviation group will go to the Belarusian front, and Andlupf, the commander, can finally stop staying in the rear to see the scenery.

"Who irritated you, you have been in Minsk for so many days, I have been sitting in the office and staring."

Others should be afraid of the authority of the deputy commander, but all Andlupf needs is respect, as a brother, he knows what Lin Jun can say.

Lin Jun sat on the sofa and took the hot tea handed by the nanny, warming his stomach. "Don't be like Sergey, remember! You are now the commander of the aviation cluster! ”

After a pause, he added, "Don't be like Kobets." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not as impulsive as those two boys."

Lin Jun believes that Andlupf is not the master who will drive the plane to the sky in a hurry. Boy, say that the two generals are boys, who made him their captain.

Andlupf sat next to Lin Jun, picked up the coffee that the nanny had brought him a long time ago and took two sips, while Pauker stood like a pillar on the other side. Lin Jun looked at the eyesore and shook his head slightly: This Pauckel is good at everything, but he always likes to stand on occasions when he is there.

Nodding his fingers slightly, his head gestured, and Pauker sat down with understanding-they are all core figures, for his habits, Lin Jun has said several times that he wants him to change, so as not to think that others are too serious people. But the director of the office just can't seem to change, and he doesn't bother to talk about him until now.

The two in front of him are one of the few people who can come in and wait when they are not at home, and Andrupf is very comfortable in Lin Jun's house, but Pauker is still the same as when he was the captain of the Kremlin, and he can't change the habit - probably this is also the success of Pauker.

Speaking of Sergey. Andlupuv put down his glass and said: "I just received a report from the Air Force Committee in the morning that Sergei's definite crash record has reached 175!" Oh my God, this madman! And a regimental commander and a group leader under him, one 73, one 69, like a mechanized lawn mower! ”

Lin Jun already knew that Sergei's downing record a few days ago had exceeded 170, and looking at this trend, it was simply impossible for others to catch up! This will be learned from the intelligence services, and the Germans have also emerged a number of air aces, but this will not be able to compare with Sergei.

And the regiment commander and group commander needless to say were Pokryshkin and Kozhdub, both of whom had surpassed "their own historical records" and became one of the most dazzling "Stalinist Eagles" in the Soviet Air Force after Sergei.

Superb air combat skills, good luck and, most importantly, the seemingly never-ending opportunity to fight and strike allowed Sergei and his troops to do wonders!

"Sergey would be a myth. Envious? ”

Andrupv smiled: he "scolded" Sergei for being a madman, not jealous or enmity against him, of course, but a grumble between brothers: he and Sergei had a good relationship. It's just that Andlupuv thinks that Sergei's skills are not much better than him in Spain, and if he is ten years younger and his position is not so high, he will not be much worse than his original squadron leader.

But he couldn't say much - apparently his brother was more depressed than he was!

"As long as the Germans' airlift in Minsk is not over, Sergei's record is expected to continue to rise, and this is an opportunity. But after a while, it is estimated that Sergei will have to nest on the ground for a while. ”

"What's going on?"

knew that Lin Jun had something to say.

"For example, our Red Navy carrier-based air force seems to have engaged a German bomber unit that tried to bomb Arhandles last month, and spent most of the rest of the time on carriers in the White Sea training. There is no chance of combat, and even the best pilots can only be moldy. Lin Jun said.

Speaking of the carrier-based aviation of the Red Navy, they will seem to have become a "leisure unit" composed of a group of excellent pilots! The ordinary aviation units of the Red Navy fought valiantly against the fascists in the Barents Sea, the Black Sea, and the land theaters, and achieved good results in the protection of shipping lines, ground support, anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare, and in the contest with the enemy's air force, and a large number of combat heroes also emerged.

However, the construction cost of units in the Red Navy Aviation is the highest, and the carrier-based aviation, which is known as the "pearl of the Red Naval Aviation", has now become an ornament, which cannot but be said to be a bit sad!

Someone in the Red Navy proposed to add carrier-based aviation to the operation of mobile protection of shipping lines, but Stalin firmly rejected it! Lin Jun also disagreed, but his starting point was different from Stalin's - Stalin was treating the aircraft carrier as a baby bump, and he was reluctant to use it riskily like that; And Lin Jun knew that he couldn't use it like that: use the fleet aircraft carrier as an escort aircraft carrier? This is inappropriate, as the Anglo-American "historical experience" has clearly demonstrated.

Since Stalin was there as a shield, Lin Jun did not have to use his identity as deputy commander to suppress the Red Navy.

Someone proposed to let carrier-based aircraft join the aviation base on the coast of the Barents Sea, which was resolutely vetoed by Lin Jun! He would rather let hundreds of elite aviation crews sit idle on the ship, moldy, and only know blind training, rather than use this most valuable carrier-based aviation of the Soviet Union as an ordinary base aviation!

It is not easy to train carrier-based aircraft crews, and the terrain of the Soviet Union determines that the current aircraft carrier formation can only be used as an "existential deterrent" and cannot be consumed in other operations -- the Soviet Union cannot afford to consume it!

The training of carrier-based aviation reserve forces has been suspended, and the two aircraft carriers rely on the original crew members and a small number of reserve forces remaining at the bases. The aircraft carrier Lin Jun is reserved for future use, and it takes at least three to six months for ordinary ground aviation to learn to go on a ship, and the premise is that they are still excellent pilots.

The pilots are all gone, and the two naked aircraft carriers are really an ornament!

The Soviet Air Force had enough reserve personnel, and the "100,000 pilots" trained by Stalin under Stalin's order a few years ago were not decorations, but carrier-based aviation was not a special branch of troops that could be obtained overnight.

As for someone who proposed to let the aircraft carrier fight near Murmansk, Lin Jun disagreed even more: let the aircraft carrier formation fight to the death with the German roadbed aviation? That's a decision made by a fool!

The people in the Red Navy Staff were not stupid, but they had not seen enough experience from the Pacific War, and it was inevitable to make mistakes that Lin Jun, a "latecomer", knew that the British, Japanese, and Americans would all learn about those mistakes in the war, but the price they paid was different.

Aircraft carriers are mobile assault forces, not some "moving aviation bases".

In the middle and late stages of the Pacific War, the US carrier-based air force was obviously the leader of the world's carrier-based air forces, and its strength was outstanding, and many aces also emerged, but the results of carrier-based fighter pilots obviously cannot be compared with that of land-based air forces -- several combat sorties in a single campaign, and how many battles can an aircraft carrier formation participate in in a war?

That's the difference in chance: forgive you for your super top-notch skills, and it's useless to have no combat chances! The extreme example is the comparison between the carrier-based air force and the 1st Guards Fighter Division -- on the one hand, it is difficult to get a chance to make a combat sortie, while on the other hand, it is almost necessary to fight the opponent in the air several times a day!

Sergei is a special case, but the achievements of him and Pokryshkin and others are the inevitable result of the great waves. If a pilot is lucky and has a good fate, if he can make a thousand combat sorties in his life, the results he will obtain will of course be greater than the possibility of a pilot who has only one combat sortie in the entire war.

The life trajectories of Pokryshkin and Kozhdub have changed a little, and there are many more opportunities to participate in air battles than "original", coupled with their skills and good luck, it is normal for Lin Jun to surpass "history".

Why did Germany have so many super aces in history? Their main opponent, the Soviet Air Force, was "rough" in the early days for one reason, and there was another reason for the "characteristic" that many people did not pay attention to: the shortage of oil resources in Germany, and the oil problem has always trapped the German war machine. As a major oil consumer, the Air Force is obviously also greatly limited by these forces. But Germany also had its own way of dealing with it - guaranteeing the high attendance of the trump cards, and the oil supply for the average pilot was often not sufficient.

The excellent pilots in Germany have a super high attendance rate, and here in the Soviet Union there is generally no shortage of aviation gasoline, but just like Sergei's work assignment to his subordinates, the attendance rate of him and those excellent pilots is obviously higher than that of novices, and he himself often sorties three times a day!

If there is a problem with the plane, the repair and maintenance will always be taken care of first, which seems unfair to young people, but fair to the war is enough.

Erich Hartmann set an unprecedented record in the history of world air combat with 352 aircraft in "history", and this peak, which could well never be climbed, forced Hartmann's successors to live in his shadow forever! -- Why do all the literature dare to use the word "unprecedented" not only because of aviation technology (which is of course very important), but also because of the fact that in a few decades a great aviation country will there be a combined number of combat aircraft?

If you don't have a chance, everything is in vain, and enough chances are the first prerequisite for pilots to get results.

The "wild sow" is estimated to be still training in Germany, and Sergei is advancing all the way, and Comrade Guards Division Commander is likely to become an "unprecedented".

However, it seems that someone wants to slow down Sergei's pace of continuing to expand his "unprecedented" advantage.

"After the enemy is cleared of Minsk, large-scale sustained air battles may not occur until the beginning of next summer, and at most sporadic air encounters. Also, it seems that the High Command wants to ground Sergei. Lin Jun said the reason for what he said.

The Soviet Union could not afford to lose such a super-ace as Sergei, just as Kozhdub was strictly ordered by Stalin not to fly into the air when he participated in the Korean War.

"What do you think?"

Andlupuv asked Lin Jun: If you want Sergei to be grounded, then it is better to kill him directly.

"I was going to let him serve in the Moscow Air Force Committee, but I said no. He was also asked to be the commander of the first division, but he was asked to be grounded for a period of time after next month. ”

Lin Jun didn't want Sergei to be completely grounded, and the eagle was going to let him fly high! As an ace, Lin Jun knows very well where the fighter pilot's position is. And Sergey is a good pilot, but not a "good general", at least for the time being, it seems that the post of commander of an aviation division makes it a little difficult for him.

Coming to Moscow for an office? When furnishings? It's going to be a big ornament to admire.

As a pilot, Lin Jun is well aware of the uncertainties of air combat, but the charm of war lies in it.

A Sergei will only be a bad clerk in Moscow, and on the battlefield will be a proud eagle - if it is an eagle, let him fly high!

Andlupuv didn't know that when the command was discussing the celebrity Sergei, Lin Jun was like a polar bear guarding a calf, although he didn't speak loudly, but let everyone understand that Sergei's fate could only be decided by him.

Stalin didn't want to lose Sergei in case, but he had no objection to his deputy's behavior - the old man knew that Lin Jun still wanted to fly a fighter by himself, which was also a compromise.

There were not many times when Lin Jun wanted Stalin to compromise, and Stalin did not have any objections this time: Lin Jun still had the right to decide a combat hero and a division commander, although he was his old subordinate.

What if so? When the time comes, the Propaganda and Agitation Department will have a way -- seeing that the general situation is irreversible, some comrades can only consider this.

This will Lin Jun look at Pauckel and only listen and not speak, "Pauker, what's the matter?" ”

"The wedding preparations of the young men are ready, and you and Comrade Vukinskaya will arrive at the Happiness Palace of the city government at ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, and it will take about half an hour."

Pauker seemed to have something to do, and he took out a document from the briefcase beside him, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs transferred me today, and the clerk who came said that you had special instructions for this person. “

The document is actually a form, an application form for participation in a training course for personnel sent by the guerrilla command to enemy-occupied areas, with a photograph of the applicant and personal information.

Lin Jun took it and looked at it twice, then put the application form on the coffee table next to him, "The work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is really detailed enough, and the casual words I said at the beginning are being implemented seriously." ”

After saying that, Lin Jun didn't speak for a while, and then the other two became silent, knowing that Lin Jun was thinking.

Vuginskaya hasn't come back yet, and the nanny said that Comrade General is having an operation and may not go home tonight, otherwise Pauker would not have taken out this form in the living room of Lin Jun's house: seeing the actions of the deputy commander, he didn't mean to return the form to himself, and Pauker would not be stupid enough to speak first.

Andlupf also saw the portrait in the photograph, and knew the small movements of Pauckel at times, and tasted the cup of coffee that was already cold - as a brother, he did not speak.

Lin Junyi stretched out his hand and picked up the form: "Tell the guerrilla command that I want this person to receive the best training, not to be used as a small chess piece." She is brave and loyal, and she is also very intelligent, and she has been trained to be a talent. ”

"If it's an eagle, let it fly, not be a canary in a cage."

Lin Jun made a decision in his head: what made him need to think about it for a while? Because in that photo is a young girl with curly hair - Zoya Anatolyevna Kosmodemyanskaya.

(A few days ago, my brain was a little messy, and it was difficult to recover, but now it's basically straightened out.) (To be continued.) )
