June 3, 1941, at 8:30 p.m., the office of the deputy commander-in-chief of the Kremlin High Command. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Major Georgy Akimovich Leonov brought dinner to Lin Jun in a trolley, and there was a telegram on the dining car.

"Chief, this is a battle report from the Southwest Front."

Lin Jun casually took a slice of bread and stuffed it into his mouth, he would be waiting for a call from the Baltic Front, and he didn't have time to sit down and have a decent dinner. Life staff is as usual, but Lin Jun Mingrui feels that there is something special. It's been several years, except for the time when he was injured, several staff officers have always been calm, and they are worthy of being the best agents of the Cheka. But after getting along for a long time, Lin Jun can still feel a little different from his different habits - it is not bad news such as the rapid advance of the German army, otherwise Leonov would have wasted a second telling himself that he should have read the content of the telegram (saying that it is a life staff officer, it is not as good as Lin Jun having three confidential staff officers. ）。

picked up the telegram and looked at it a few times, Lin Jun's face gradually became gloomy, and the hand holding the telegram slip slammed on the desk: "Fascist!" Brute! ”

I didn't care about eating, "Inform the switchboard that a call from the Baltic Front will come and immediately send me to Comrade Stalin's office." ”

"Yes, Chief."

What makes Lin Jun so angry? The Southwestern Front received a battle report from the 53rd Cavalry Division, focusing on the fascist atrocities that took place in Tomashovka. In his personal report, Drat-Semenovich-Melnik was responsible for the execution of the Fascist SS prisoners of war, and the Front Command reported the situation to the High Command, and this kind of telegram had to go through Lin Jun's hands.

Lin Jun was really angry this time: the German fascists were beasts that were three points more brutal than the Japanese fascists! There are many massacres carried out on the land of the Soviet Union in history, but they were only in their own "memory" before, but now they are completely real in reality!

Stalin would have been nibbling bread at this time, and he had completely lost his appetite after seeing the telegram that Lin Jun had brought over.

"How do you decide?"

"The Order of the Red Banner of the 53rd Separate Cavalry Division for the recapture of Tomashovka, the Order of Lenin of Major General Kondrat-Semenovich-Melnik, and the different standards for the treatment of Wehrmacht and SS prisoners in the army were clearly established."

"It's up to you."

Stalin agreed with Lin Jun's decision, ignoring Melnik's violation of military discipline in executing the prisoners, and instead wanted to promote the practice of the 53rd Cavalry Division to a certain extent throughout the army - blood debt and blood payment! This order would have cost millions of lives, but that was the way the Soviet Union had done it historically, and if it hadn't, the SS wouldn't have become any more merciful to the Soviets.

The SS and the Wehrmacht, the two different systems of fascist armies are still different to a certain extent, but of course the specific situation still needs to be analyzed in detail - there are also many units in the Wehrmacht that are even more ferocious than the SS, and more than 99 percent of the SS are wild beasts!

The most important thing is: the war does not need to be divided too clearly, the enemy must be completely destroyed, and then the law of iron!

The phone rang, "Probably looking for me." ”

Lin Jun gestured and picked up the No. 3 machine of the internal line, "Well, I know, I wish you good luck." ”

The words are simple, "Andrey, is the Air Force about to take off?" ”

"Yes, Comrade Stalin, strike on time at twenty-one sharp, Moscow time."

This will be at the two airfields near the Baltic port city of Liepaja in Latvia, densely packed with dozens of huge heavy bombers lined up on the tarmac and in front of the take-off line, the 15th Brigade of Heavy Long-Range Bomber Aviation under the command of Vasily Nikolayevich Zhdanov is ready to go, and the 56 Peter-8 heavy bombers in the brigade are ready to take off! This time their target will be the heart of the Third Reich - Berlin!

Each Pi-8 bomber, loaded with four tons of bombs, will fly from the Baltic Sea airway to the shores of Germany, and then turn southwest to fly directly to Berlin! Air Force Major General Zhdanov personally flew the plane into the air to command, striving to hit the plane with one blow -- all heavy bombers had less than 15 percent of the fuel left in order to be fully loaded with ammunition.

This was a plan drawn up by Lin Jun to make the Germans understand how stupid their Führer's strategic adventure was! And tonight there will be 8 waves of such air strikes, entering German airspace from different directions: for the success of the air strike, six batches of aircraft will fly over the Baltic Sea, in order to take it by surprise!

More than half of the air force units that participated in the last assault on the Romanian oil fields will take part in the air raids this time, and the 15th Brigade of the Heavy Long-Range Bombers will only move from Minsk to Latvia in the morning. In order to ensure overall success, Porenin served as the commander-in-chief on the ground for the air raid on the German mainland.

In order to guarantee the accuracy of the route, the Red Banner Baltic Fleet aviation also took part in the operation, sending 26 long-range bombers of the DB-3 type (they were aimed at the shipyard located in Rostock. ）。 In order to ensure the air force's flight over the sea, the Red Navy Air Force also sent the best navigators to Zhdanov and other formations -- all of whom had more than 2,000 hours of pilot experience.

Minutes and seconds passed, and when the clock hand reached 20:30, Zhdanov was the first to release the brake brake and increase the throttle to take off.

The moment circling over the airfield, Zhdanov saw a group of fighters flying from the east, "Comrade Sokolov, our Silver Swallow has arrived." "The fleet needs to be radio silent, and even if it needs to make contact, it has to use light signals - there is a special aviation signal light next to the co-pilot (remember the red button of the old flashlight?). The switch is always on when pushed to the top, and the first gear needs to be pressed and pressed by the red round button to light up, which is the most basic military use, but many of us don't realize it: it can be used as a light signal source. ）。

Major Sokolov came from the bomber aviation of the Baltic Fleet, this time as the navigator of the 15th brigade: he was very familiar with the Baltic Sea, and he had previously studied the route from the Baltic Sea to Berlin, which came in handy.

"That's our new long-range fighter, the MiG-3?" Sokolov will remain in the wheelhouse, and he will not need to lead this section yet, it will be his business after entering the sea.

"Old friends, their captain is Captain Dmitry Borisovich Glinka, and they were the escort when the Romanian oil fields were bombed."

After a few small talks, a formation of 36 MiG-3 fighters was over the bomber formation, while the 58 Pi-8 bombers that took off from the two airfields also completed the formation and flew northeast towards the Baltic Sea, which was shrouded in twilight.

The clouds in the sky are very high, it can be said that the sky is high and the clouds are light, fortunately, there is only a waning moon, and the group is still quite conspicuous at an altitude of 4,000 meters. Sokolov did not take it lightly - if he encountered a German naval ship, the air raid could be exposed, although the Germans would not have thought that their target was Berlin!

After entering the sea, the fleet made its first course adjustment, and the second straight route was extended to Rostock, but the fleet turned to Berlin when it arrived at the junction between the German mainland and Poland!

Long-distance running is a boring and tedious listening to the hum of the engine, and all the crew members of the formation closely monitor the surrounding airspace after entering the Baltic Sea, and they cannot even let go of the sea surface.

Upon arrival in the stretch area of Polish territory in the Baltic Sea, the crew formation was already at the first level of combat readiness: at any moment there was a possibility that a Luftwaffe night fighter would appear! Glinka and his crew had an even greater responsibility today - no matter what the situation encountered, they had to ensure the safety of the bomber formation and drop the bombs on Berlin!

Perhaps the Germans had no idea that the Soviets would be freed up for a strategic adventure - two hours later, the fleet re-routed and flew straight to Berlin.

The crew looked out at the German landscape at night, with town and village after town beneath them, and the larger shops were still brightly lit.

"There are still 50 kilometers to go into the center of Berlin!"

There is no need for Sokolov to lead the way - everyone can see the red night sky in the distance: Berlin is right in front of you, and Berliners don't even know what light control is! The city lights up the night sky, and that's the best target for pilots!

The position of the Glinka formation was three hundred meters higher than that of the bombers, and it was better to see - there was no shadow of German fighters in the bright night sky!

After 6 minutes, everything was already a foregone conclusion, and Zhdanov broke the radio silence: "I'm Brigade Commander Zhdanov, open the magazine and prepare to drop the bomb!" ”

The huge magazine door opened to reveal a black, high-explosive shell and incendiary bombs painted with red stripes! Berlin in Sokolov's bombing sights was brilliantly lit, and even though it was already the middle of the night, you could still see the lights of bustling cars - Berlin was unconscious!

"Unter den Linden! Get ready to drop the bomb! ”

At the moment when the aiming cross was aimed at the street under the linden, Sokolov pressed the bomb button, and the huge formation behind him dropped bombs one after another, and more than 200 tons of bombs roared down to the heart of the Third Reich!

"Send a report! Target Berlin, the bomb has been dropped, mission accomplished! ”

Tonight in Berlin is destined to be a sleepless night. (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.) )
