Chapter 293: If you dare to come, I will dare to fight!
As a member of the Central Committee in charge of the Air Force, Lin Jun was the last member of the committee to know the news of the downing of the intruding plane, but he did not blame or get angry at all: Why did he inform himself at the end?!
Because he was not at the office or at home, he rode away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Yesterday he discussed with Budyonny about the training of the new equipment of the Air Force of the Moscow Military District, and gossiped about the "blizzard": Lin Jun's "blizzard" has become a father. This made Lin Jun a little embarrassed, his owner hadn't been to the horse farm for more than a year, and he didn't know him if he didn't estimate the "blizzard".
There is still a half-day to take a while, but I didn't expect the "Blizzard" to scream and jump when he saw Lin Jun, obviously not forgetting his undutiful master: it is more handsome than the year before last, it has really matured, and the whole body gives Lin Jun the perfect strength visual impact.
The "wife" chosen by the horse farm for Buran, one of the best white mare in the institute and the "Budyonny Warhorse", is now in the stable next door to the "Buran" with a pure white foal.
The director of the institute wanted Lin Jun to name the foal, "Hurricane, it's going to be called Hurricane!" Lin Jun liked the stallion at first sight, and he will definitely be as handsome as his father in the future!
Lin Jun heard the report of the attachΓ© on the back of the "blizzard", hurriedly said goodbye to his horse and rushed back to the city of Moscow, and went directly to the Kremlin without returning to the National Defense Committee.
Members of the Standing Committee of the Central ****** Committee and members of the National Defense Commission were basically there, and they all received the news. As soon as Lin Jun entered his office in a riding suit, Stalin and everyone else knew how much time Comrade Andrei had!
"Andrey, now there is an urgent consultation. The central authorities have already issued orders to several military regions in the western region for first-class combat readiness, and the troops are being assembled and deployed. As soon as Stalin saw Lin Jun, he said.
"There will be no large-scale battles yet, and the Germans will not be able to rush into war now until they find out what we are doing, and the alert level of the troops can be lowered a little. This is just the beginning, or rather a temptation, and there should be many more such air crossings. β
After listening to Lin Jun's opinion, Stalin asked Molotov beside him: "What is the response of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs?" β
The old Molotov was not in a hurry at all, "The best option is not to say anything, first see if the Germans will continue to carry out such cross-border reconnaissance operations, and then react at the right time." β
What Molotov meant was to wait diplomatically for a "right time" as if nothing had happened today: everyone here knew that it was up to Stalin to decide.
This will Voroshinov speak: "Let's look at the movements of the Germans first, it is estimated that they will not be able to stabilize first." β
Lin Jun borrowed the phone from the office, connected to the Western Special Military Region, and directly called Kobets's war room: "Kobets, how is the situation?" β
"Comrade Marshal, half a minute ago I just received the latest report that the militia of the Railway Bureau had just captured a German pilot, and another had broken into a pile of minced meat, and the wreckage of the German plane had also been discovered, and I had asked the technical comrades to go there."
"Try to block the news, squeeze as much useful information as possible from the German pilots, and get the interrogation experts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Minsk to cooperate with your work." Alexander nodded on the side, "The troops are on alert, the German reconnaissance planes will still come, and they may appear at any time and in any place." β
"Yes, Comrade Marshal! As soon as the Germans cross the border, we will definitely knock it down! β
"There is a new order that Moscow will inform you, and also, congratulations to the pilots who shot down the enemy aircraft."
γγγγγγ
Just half an hour earlier, the organized railway militia had spotted a German pilot in a wooded area, and after a brief exchange of fire, he had captured alive the pilot, who had been wounded in the arm and had not had time to commit suicide - and was immediately sent to a nearby barracks. Another wave of patrols found a strange circular shallow crater in the snow two kilometers away from the woods, and after studying it for a while, they realized that it was a man who fell from a high altitude and smashed it: at the moment of impact, the pilot's clothes and flesh flew away like shrapnel, and barely found a flat, broken, incomplete human skeleton.
The whole pit is like the effect of a meteorite, but the pit is much shallower - people are not as hard as stones, and this way of dying is really miserable!
The militia captain who led the team looked at the blue sky, then looked at the shallow pit in front of him, and said to the people on the side: "You deserve it!" β
This unlucky guy should have no fear before he fell into a pulp, jumped out of the plane from a height of more than 10,000 meters, and was already unconscious before he reached an altitude with enough oxygen, and he didn't even open the parachute that was now falling everywhere.
Pokryshkin and Pankratov waited until the ground search team reached the woods where the German pilots had landed, and as soon as they landed they were cheered by everyone at the airfield. The two fighters on the airfield who were changing fuel before the two sorties were preparing to take off, while the other planes were reloading.
"The regimental headquarters asked us to send two planes to patrol, and the airport was ready for combat at the first level." Mironov reported to him, "The radar shows that you shot down the enemy plane at an altitude of more than 12,000 meters, Deputy Captain, you and Pankratov have set a new world record!" β
Pokryshkin was not as excited as Millonov, the German reconnaissance plane did not find itself at all, it basically had no ability to maneuver at that altitude, and it also saw that the Germans had no weapons for self-defense, just like a textbook solution to the opponent. However, victory was not easy to come by, and it was too late for the mechanic to drain the oil before the attack - in such a short distance attack, and the target was at the critical height of his own landline, full fuel was by no means the best choice.
Risking the use of the Leap at such heights was a last resort, but this time it also made Pokryshkin more confident in his new aircraft - if he had less fuel, the MiG-1 would have been able to fly higher! - Now, the MiG-1 is the king of the sky!
"Have the mechanic prepare four planes with only two-thirds of the fuel, and only half of the ammunition to be used."
Hearing the order of the deputy captain, Milonov had no doubts and immediately went to prepare: he knew that the deputy captain was preparing for a high-altitude mission that could appear again, and the plane would definitely be able to fly higher after weight reduction.
"Deputy captain, regimental headquarters." The correspondent ran over to report.
"Well done! Pokryshkin, Commander Kobets asked me to convey the congratulations of the Kremlin and himself to you! Ivanov's voice was a little agitated.
"Thank you, Captain. The aircraft of the Germans was supposed to be a high-altitude modification of the Junkers 86, I did not see weapons for self-defense, and they were not fast. β
"Okay, I'll report the situation. The airfield should be on alert, the Germans may come again, only two squadrons of our regiment are armed with MiG-1s, and the Yak cannot fly so high. My MiG-1 squadron here is going to lend the 109th regiment in Volkovysk, they don't have MiGs. Your task is heavy, and the high altitude between Tomashov and Ruzane is your defense zone. β
"Yes, Commander, I've asked the mechanic to prepare and reduce the weight of the plane. As long as the Germans come again, it will not want to go back! β
"Okay, report it if there's a situation."
The hero's 109th regiment was not far from him, but the commander of the Sergei regiment had all Lag 5 in his hands, and if he encountered the situation he had just had, he could only stare dryly, and Rag had no way to deal with the reconnaissance planes that the Germans could fly so high. Minsk also knew about the situation of the front-line troops, and temporarily transferred an additional MiG-1 squadron to several airfields in 109, and the easiest and quickest way to deal with it was to be seconded from Ivanov's regiment.
At noon, Lin Jun got a preliminary report from Minsk: the German reconnaissance plane was the kind of Ju86P-2 high-altitude reconnaissance plane that made the British helpless. Fortunately, the USSR had MiG-1, Mikoyan and Grevich!
Just like the U-2 of later generations, it is that it has not had a weapon that can threaten it for a long time, and it is so rampant. Probably this is also the reason why the Soviets once took the theory of "high altitude and high speed" to the extreme - the "backward" MiG-25 basically reached the crazy standard of "double three" (the ceiling limit of 30,000 meters and the limit speed of Mach 3), which could theoretically pose a threat to the SR-71, and inadvertently (the MiG-25 was not designed for the "Blackbird". Together with the S-200, let that "blackbird" be more honest.
The names of the pilots involved in the interception also appeared in the report, which made Lin Jun very happy: "Alexander Ivanovich Pokryshkin, never disappoint!" β
This time, Lin Jun did not make a move such as "promotion based on merit" -- as the No. 2 air ace on the side of the anti-fascist forces of the Allies in World War II, the most famous "air trench commander" and the creator of new tactics, it would be more appropriate to let Pokryshkin stay in the "trench" for a while.
After inspection by the technicians at the front, the wreckage of the plane was confirmed to be a German Ju86P-2, powered by a diesel engine. It's a pity that it's already a pile of scrap iron, otherwise it might be able to provide some technical support for the Soviet Union's aviation diesel engines, which have always been unreliable. As for the captured German pilots, they have been taken to Brest for interrogation, and with the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs there, they should be able to get something of value.
Picking up the phone, he answered the phone from Kobets in Minsk: "Honor the two pilots who made the sortie, award the medal of merit, send someone to the airport to award the medal, don't call Minsk." β
"Yes, I'll prepare."
12,500 meters - for this new world record deserves a medal. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
