Chapter 289: "Windmill" Style

Stalin, after sending his blessings to the newlyweds, sat for only a while before leaving the banquet and returning to the Kremlin. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Alexander, did Comrade Stalin mention to you that he wanted to come in person?" After Stalin left, Lin Jun asked his brother.

I didn't say it directly, but I asked once, asking who could get married and let us both "take leave". The old man hadn't been to a wedding for a long time. ”

Alexander knew that Stalin could not have come here solely because of Fekochinov, and this was telling everyone: Andrei's cronies were also his cronies.

"The two of us have faces the size of a washbasin!" Lin Jun said with a smile, and Alexander was also happy: "Big enough, big enough!" ”。

That is, the "marriage registrar" is the NKVD, and the witnesses are the deputy People's Commissar of National Defense, and they are all members of the Standing Committee of the Central ******. It is not too surprising that Stalin appeared at such a wedding.

The newlyweds have to be good babies throughout the wedding banquet, and they have to stay honest except for special circumstances. Lin Jun, the witness, is very busy here, and there is a procedure that makes Lin Jun feel particularly interesting: the comrades of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (or the people who helped at the wedding are more precise) handed Lin Jun a long gift list, which is a list of gifts given to the newlyweds by relatives and friends on both sides, and the witnesses need to read it out loud in public!

Lin Jun's brain almost short-circuited-"Won't it?!" That's the custom too! ”

In fact, in addition to the more expensive gifts given by the parents to the newlyweds, other friends are all meaningful: a bouquet of flowers is the most common gift, of course, there are also uncles and aunts and other relatives and friends to give "a piglet" happens.

It's now in Moscow in 41 years, and of course gifts such as pigs and lambs will not appear, and there will be no vulgar "gift-giving" situation: Lin Jun's probably read the list after reading it out, and it will be very interesting, adding a little joyful atmosphere, and all the people attending the wedding know what kind of gifts are appropriate.

"Comrade Stalin gave the newlyweds a bottle of Georgian wine!"

Lin Jun began to read out the list, the first position was added temporarily, and the audience burst into applause and cheers, "Mr. and Mrs. Plunyakov are the witnesses and my wife." ”

"Read yourself, funny!" Lin Jun wanted to laugh in his heart, and Vukinskaya below had already taken the lead in laughing.

After a pause, "Give the newlyweds three pairs of boots, one pair for the groom, one pair for the bride, and one pair for the child." This child has to be born one by one, and I will send it more in the future. ”

The audience laughed, and this laughter would not be disrespectful to Comrade Marshal, but would have an affinity - giving gifts should be given orders, this is the Russian rule.

"The Alexander couple's gift to the newlyweds was a coffee pot with instructions for giving it - don't forget to add sugar and milk!"

There was another round of applause and laughter, and the NKVD was kind to his own people.

、、、、、、 a long list of gifts, and the end result is that the newlyweds will not have to buy alcohol for a year, plus they will be able to smash the plates and cans at will in case of a quarrel - the gifts are either vodka or a lot of daily necessities, everything is pragmatism.

、、、、、、

Porenin, who had been officially appointed by Stalin, was now not at all as relaxed as those who attended Fekochinov's wedding, and as soon as the plane arrived in Baku, he began to prepare for secret training.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Socialist Republic of Azerbaijan has received an order from Moscow to closely cooperate with Polenin, and the state apparatus is running at full speed. The comrades of the oil department circled the area of waste oil wells, and the aviation department began to prepare to make room for the bomber units that were about to be transferred.

Baku, a city only more than 200 kilometers away from the Iranian border, has become the location of Polenin's temporary headquarters, and the training workload will be extremely huge, so Lin Jun borrowed his entire think tank, whose members are basically senior staff officers of the Air Force Committee, as well as several officers drawn from the Air Force of the Moscow Military District.

There is one thing that Polenin should not be worried about: the Baku oil field, although not far from the border, was one of the least likely areas of the Soviet Union to leak secrets - security here has always been a top priority, and it is a black spot for foreign spy networks. The impact of the "Great Purge" in Baku was even stronger than in other regions, and the entire area was cleaned, except for buildings and oil wells, there are no remnants of the Tsarist era.

Troops can safely train in the oilfield area, and there is no need for a secrecy blockade of many troops - the entire oilfield area is the best isolation network, and the oil workers and residents are the best guards - and the political atmosphere for many years, because this is the strategic Baku oil field.

After the overnight coordination meeting, the news received from the local government and the leadership of the garrison was also unsatisfactory: there were not as many abandoned oil well facilities as expected, and although hundreds of oil wells had ceased production, the oil workers carried forward the spirit of "producing more oil for the Soviets", and those facilities had basically been dismantled and put into the construction of new oil wells.

Experts from the oil department also made an introduction: the appearance of the oil well is small for an airplane in the air, just a tall iron tower (a common phenomenon in oil wells in the 40s, and not the big "duck head" that we are familiar with). That's it, unless the bomb hits at close range or directly, it won't work very well.

So what to do?

There is no hurry, there are a lot of facilities to guard against enemy damage in the oil field: the refinery is the biggest target, and every few oil wells will have a transfer oil pump room exposed on the ground, as long as the transfer station is destroyed, the oil well will stop production for a long time. There will also be oil diversion stations, where the dense mass of above-ground pipelines, valves and oil depots will not be repaired in a week or two if they are blown up.

A huge dendritic diagram was presented in front of Porenin, a schematic diagram of the entire production system, in which the experts explained each node and terminal, marked which links were destroyed and the most lethal to the entire production system, and the training plan was changed according to the actual situation.

The center provided enough bombers to Polenin that the area targets would be dealt with by conventional horizontal bombardment, and those small nodes would be the business of the P-2. Oil wells cannot be spared, and a regiment of Pi-2 will appear in the most densely distributed area of oil wells in the Romanian oil field area, striving to destroy more production sources.

Railway freight stations were also included in the bombing targets, which could kill two birds with one stone, cutting off crude oil shipments and delaying the strategic preparations of the German army.

On February 2, 1941, a group of Pe-2 bombers appeared over the abandoned oil well area and began to dive bomb the high derrick with trainer bombs -- they began to dive at an altitude of 3,000 meters, dropped underwing bombs at a low altitude at a dive angle of 70 degrees, and then pulled up, entered the attack route again, and dived again to drop belly bombs. And on the third repetition, two FAB100 bombs in the short compartment behind the engine were dropped.

Three successive attacks, with the bombs dropped in three different targets - all pilots do not have to worry about whether they hit the target or not, because there are three more behind each Pi-2 - the pilots of the aircraft behind will carry out supplementary bombing, unless it is seen very early that the aircraft in front has destroyed the target, the cycle will be temporarily terminated and a new target will be locked on.

This tactic was not devised by Polenin, but was the idea of the head of the Peter-2 bomber aviation regiment, transferred from the end of training in the Urals, and Lieutenant Colonel Ivan Semenovichtsy-Polbin and his boys took part in the operation against Japan on the Harakha River. After withdrawing from the Haraha River, the station was completely reequipped, and the whole regiment was equipped with the new Pe-2 dive bomber.

This time, Polbin brought 78 bombers and proposed to use a new type of "windmill" bombing method with a very high rate of urging small targets, so as to ensure that the whole regiment would be able to destroy more than 100 small targets in a single sortie.

After watching the field training, Porenin, a bombing expert, had to admit that Bolbin's method was good, and that the skills of the boys of the bombing aviation regiment were first-class -- not a single bomb was dropped 50 meters away from the derrick, more than 80 percent of the bomb impact points were within a radius of 30 meters, and almost half of the bombs directly hit the absolute destruction zone within a radius of 10 meters!

The P-8 heavy bombers, which were about to leave for the Crimean peninsula, also made a transfer to Baku in batches, making such a detour in order to let the pilots see what the refinery really looked like? -- The comrades of the oil refining enterprises cheered loudly at the sudden appearance of these behemoths over the plant, and continued their work after enthusiasm.

What are they doing here? "It's not something that the oil front itself needs to think about."

After the transfer of the heavy bomber unit, the two bomber aviation regiments equipped with the Pi-2 remained and continued the same training during the day, while a summary meeting was held in the evening, and the photographs and maps of the Romanian target area were familiarized. Such training will last two weeks - they will go to the airfield west of Odessa in order to be able to carry out a bomb-laden attack - which is close enough to the target area.
