In this way, the plan began, and because the plan was bigger, Unit A and the guerrillas began to reconnoiter and delineate the position, because there was already a foundation in front but the expansion of the goal made Unit A now busy, and all the teams were urgently drawing and preparing, and on the Moscow side, Vasilevsky was also in the General Staff, leading the staff officers to carry out intense preparations, since last night Vasilevsky has not slept for a while, he is nervously perfecting the details of the plan, You must know that this is tantamount to a crazy gamble, once it succeeds, it will be needless to say the role of the front, and once it fails, not only the Air Force, but also the A unit and the guerrillas will probably suffer heavy losses!

On the one hand, it is the preparation of people, the quality of the pilots in the Soviet Union is actually much worse than that of the German army, especially now that the pilots of the Soviet Union have added a large number of civilian pilots and aviation cadets, so this time a large number of experienced pilots must be mobilized. In addition, this time, Unit A and the guerrillas need to be guided on the ground, and they must also provide all kinds of materials they need. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the one hand, the preparation of aircraft, after the initial huge casualties, the Soviet army now has insufficient number of attack aircraft, the Il-2 Black Death and various types of bombers are not many now, in the early days of the Great Patriotic War, the Il-16 equipped with 20mm cannon before the Il-2 attack aircraft was equipped with a large number of troops, and was used as a strong aircraft when attacking German marching columns and armored targets on the ground. Most of the I-16s can carry 4-6 rockets under the wings, and the I-16 can carry 200 kg of explosives, the I-16 is the first cantilever underplane aircraft in the Soviet Union, although it looks a little better than the I-15 and I-153, but it is actually unable to cope with this war. Probably no other aircraft had more animal nicknames, called "donkey" or "eagle" by Soviet pilots, "mouse" by the Germans, "flies" by the IRA in the earlier Spanish Civil War, and "cowflies" by the Japanese when they encountered them at Nomenkan. So although the I-16 is now lagging behind, but this time he still needs to play his ability, this time in order to ensure firepower, 45 I-16 were urgently transferred to the field airfield on the front line in Moscow, yes, don't think that the airport is very complicated, most of them are airports that can be used with only a flat land and a refueling truck, the take-off and landing performance of propeller-powered aircraft is very good, and the fighters of both warring sides on the Eastern Front of World War II have landed on the flat ground on the front line to rescue downed pilots, It can also be seen from this that the requirements for airport conditions of combat aircraft at that time were very relaxed.

As for the weather and environment, the Ministry of the Interior has organized a number of meteorological experts to conduct the most detailed analysis and judgment of the weather in November.

Here, at an airport, the future Soviet ace Porykshkin was also transferred this time, and looking at the plane in the airport, his thoughts returned, that Sunday:

The blow to the Soviet Air Force in the early hours of June 22, 1941, was so sudden that it would be impossible to exaggerate in any extreme terms the enormous losses suffered. In the midst of this incessant explosion, the planes painted with red stars on their wings were blown up to scrap metal, the command and the front-line units were completely out of contact, and Moscow simply could not figure out what was happening. No one can accurately describe the devastation at that time, and it is not even possible to count the exact number of aircraft lost.

The air battles on the first day of the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, or rather air raids, made no more than such an impression. What is easily overlooked, however, is that although the Luftwaffe won on 22 June, it was not an easy one. It was on this day of the surprise attack that many Soviet pilots rose up to meet the attack, which made the invaders suffer.

When the morning light was not fully revealed, all the first-line airfields from Belarus to Ukraine were hit at the first time. Many of the Soviet planes that tried to meet did not even have a chance to take to the air. The scene at Grodno Airport is typical. At that time, several I-16s of the 122nd Fighter Regiment braved the bombs dropped by German planes and prepared to take off forcibly, but just some way from the end of the runway, all of them were blown up. Of the regiment's 75 planes, 65 were the first to suffer a tragic fate.

At that time, Pokryshkin had become a deputy captain of the 55th Fighter Aviation Regiment of the Odessa Military District, and became one of the first pilots of the regiment to fly MiG-3 fighters, which was located in the southern part of the Soviet Union near Romania. On June 22, a group of planes of the 55th Fighter Regiment was ordered to take off from Mayaki airfield to intercept a group of "approaching enemy aircraft," where the future star of air combat Pokryshkin made his debut on the stage of World War II. At this time, although Pokryshkin had a lot of flying experience, he still lacked experience in dealing with the enemy in actual combat, and he did not fully grasp the essentials of the MiG-3 fighters that had just been equipped with troops at this time, but he still went to the battlefield without hesitation.

The 55th Regiment continued to fight tenaciously throughout the day, shooting down a total of 10 enemy aircraft, one of which had a senior German officer sitting on one of the Hs126s. And the next day, Pokryshkin finally achieved his first victory in an air battle in the true sense of the word, when he shot down 1 Messerschmitt fighter.

Of all the air engagements that took place on this day, the 17 air rammings carried out by Soviet pilots were undoubtedly the most impressive. These fearless patriots tried their last bit of strength to write the most brilliant poems in the blue sky with their lives that ended prematurely.

The first mid-air collision occurred at 4:25 a.m., when a group of German He111s returned home, and Ivan Ivanov of the 46th Fighter Regiment flew the I-16 alone. In the end, when the bullets ran out, he did not hesitate to drive the plane into a German plane and die with it. Ivanov was later posthumously awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.

On this day, the courage of the Soviet pilots who fought valiantly not only greatly encouraged the Soviet Air Force to continue fighting, but also deeply shocked the opponents. Many German pilots flew 12 to 16 hours a day, and many of them never returned, and those who returned were exhausted.

The wartime log of the German KG51 bomber wing reads: "On the night of the first day of the war, the wing commander was shocked to find that we had lost 60 crews, all of whom were killed or missing!" The 3rd Group alone had 14 aircraft destroyed or damaged, and the squadron leader of the 5th Squadron, which had always been known for its luck, was also killed! ”

It should be said that Soviet fighters cost the Luftwaffe an unexpected price on this day, a total of 78 aircraft were destroyed, and another 89 were damaged. This figure set a record for Luftwaffe losses in a single day, following the previous record on 15 September 1940, during the Battle of Britain, when the RAF shot down 61 German aircraft. And this performance of the red fighters was already terrifying to the Luftwaffe. And June 22 was only the first day of this brutal war. Despite the heavy losses of the Soviet Air Force, countless pilots wrote their loyalty with their lives.

Thinking of his comrades who spilled blood in the sky, Porykshkin's eyes moistened, they suffered heavy casualties but they were still high-spirited, and now they were sent to carry out the sacred mission of defending Moscow, Porykshkin swore that even if he sacrificed himself, he would never dishonor his comrades, and at this time these pilots did not know that they were going to carry out an air raid mission next...

Here, in the forest behind the German army, the various groups of Unit A have completed the positioning of the German target according to the orders of their superiors. In the forest camp, Andrei looked at the forest where the snow had fallen, drank a sip of lemon tea, and a day later, he would personally lead two teams to squat at the headquarters of the 137th Division to personally clean up this big fish!

And all the groups and guerrillas will also be thrown into battle, I really don't know how many people will live to the moment of victory this time, and at this time the voice of the guerrilla leader Ya Ming sounded: "Lemon tea, potatoes and beef, Comrade Andrei can you give me a sip of tea, a mouthful of meat!" ”

When Andrei looked at it, Yaming looked at him with a smile, and said naturally: "Of course you can, Comrade Yaming can taste the canned food of imperialism!" So the two of them sat down and ate together, and Andrei looked at Yamin and asked: "Comrade Yamin, are all your partisan comrades ready now?" Tomorrow we're going to give the Germans a big firework! ”

Yameen took a sip of lemon tea and said: "Don't worry, Comrade Andrei, we will give the Germans a night to remember!" ”

"Hahahaha." The two laughed together

。。。。。。

Here, it was daytime in Moscow, Vasilevsky prepared everything, the waiter brought a cup of coffee and put it on his table, and whispered: "Your coffee." ”

When Vasilevsky is tired, he will drink a cup of coffee before continuing to work, and while he is drinking coffee, he is also thinking about the actions that will start at night!

At the headquarters of the Western Front here, General Zhukov was also nervously arranging his tasks, and when he came to the day, he was also praying for the night operation, thinking of the omnipotent Andrei, he was full of confidence, and then shouted to the orderly: "Have a glass of wine!" Don't drink wine, give me vodka! ”

"Young man, I've drunk your celebration wine in advance," Zhukov thought confidently
