Chapter 1068

A Soviet soldier standing on the East Bank of the Volga River rubbed his sour eyes, and then continued to look at the distant sky in boredom. This is an air lookout post of the Soviet air defense forces, providing early air defense warning for the long Volga River defense line.

After all, the radar assisted by the Americans is a kind of sophisticated and expensive thing. Although the Soviet Union is seizing the time to imitate it, there is really no way to spread this kind of thing all over the Soviet German defense line. In most areas, the Soviet air defense early warning still relies on manpower and equipment from the first World War to provide relatively vague early warning.

In some places, loudspeakers facing the sky are used to collect the sound from the aircraft engine, so as to judge whether the enemy aircraft is coming. Some places arrange air defense guard posts to provide such information by means of lookout. These artificial sentries spread all over the Soviet German front, providing early German aircraft intelligence for the passive Soviet army.

Unfortunately, with the rapid collapse of the Soviet ground forces, this kind of early warning system also collapsed. Too many temporary defense lines did not have such air defense sentries, and the Soviet army became more and more indifferent to the movement of German aircraft. After all, sometimes, if a person can't even eat enough, he won't have the heart to care about whether there are new sheets at home. The Soviet army now has the same reason: they can't even stop the German ground forces, so they don't have the heart and energy to care about where the German bombers are going.

In fact, the role of the strategic bombers of the German air force in the eastern front is very limited, because even when the German aircraft can take off from Ukraine and fly all the way to the hinterland of the Soviet Union through countless mountains, rivers and waters, it is estimated that it has been encircled and killed by the anti-aircraft artillery forces of the Soviet Union. They don't have the cover of the sea, so they can't afford more casualties and higher bombing costs.

So even if Hitler let the German army have strategic bombers in another time and space, the German army was not likely to go to the eastern front to find trouble with the Soviet Union. After all, the cost of bombers paid by the Allied forces could not be borne by the shallow German air force. If hundreds of pilots were lost every day, it was estimated that by the end of 1940, the German air force would be dead in name.

However, the current situation faced by akkado and his Third Reich air force is completely different from that in another time and space. They have crude oil from Libya as consumption reserves, and their outposts are in the Caucasus and St. Rudolph. They don't have to fly long land routes to attack the important rear industrial bases of the Soviet Union.

So the Russian watchman rubbed his eyes and looked at the sky again. He saw some dim black spots above the clouds. He frowned and continued to stare at the distant place. He didn't have a telescope at this observation post, so he had to use his own eyes to observe suspicious targets in the distance.

It wasn't long before he saw that the black shadows became clearer and clearer, and gradually became small black dots. Now the Soviet lookout soldiers could confirm that it was a German plane, but he still stared there, trying to identify the specific number of German planes.

One after another, German planes were flying rapidly at an altitude of 10000 meters. They started to take off in the early morning, and now they finally crossed the Volga River and headed for their distant target. The sound of the engine roars, making the space above the clouds reverberate with a buzzing sound. The German aircraft trembles slightly with the airflow here, like an eagle, arrogantly patrolling its territory.

"My God, what's the trouble this time?" The soldier in the Soviet lookout finally saw the number of German planes in the distant sky. He couldn't count the number of those planes, but he knew it was a lot. So he quickly began to shake the manual air defense alarm in his observation post to remind the Soviet positions around him to pay attention to concealment and evacuation.

"Wuwu... Wuwu..." the shrill alarm echoed over the Soviet position again. Many soldiers who were still washing their faces came out of their hidden barracks and looked up at the tiny black spots like flying insects in the sky. It's a German plane. It looks like the flying insects around the lights in summer. It's so dense that people sweat all over.

"It's not bombing us. If it's to deal with us, there should be countless stuka-2 bombers swooping down and dropping bombs at this time." An officer comforted some nervous soldiers around him and said in a very calm tone: "it's a large German bomber. It looks like it's bombing the rear cities."

As he spoke, he was not in a hurry to put on his coat. When he spoke, his beard looked a bit like Stalin. This style of beard is popular in the Soviet Union, just like a certain hairstyle of pop stars now. The officer obviously had a point, so everyone no longer looked tight, but looked up at the enemy's strategic bombers flying in the sky with a kind of schadenfreude mood.

"What's the trouble?" The officer put on his clothes and murmured back to his officer's bunker: "the Germans haven't used strategic bombers on such a large scale for a long time. It seems that this time, there are factories in the cities behind us. There will be trouble."

This time, the German army took off a total of 400 butcher bombers, carrying a large number of bombs and incendiary bombs, and went straight to an important transportation hub in the Soviet rear and the industrial base of Ulyanovsk. There is a Soviet tank factory and an important factory for the production of su-76 self-propelled anti tank guns. Of course, it is also an important metal smelting and processing plant in the Soviet Union. Although it does not directly produce other military products, it is providing non-ferrous metals and other raw materials for a large number of military enterprises in the Soviet Union. Once the German army destroyed this production link, it would make the Soviet industrial system, which had begun to reduce production, even worse. After investigation and analysis, the high level of the German Air Force found that the direct bombing of Chelyabinsk was too far away, and it was easy for the Soviet Union to pose a threat to the German bombers. Catherine and Dick both felt that it was too risky to bomb Chelyabinsk now, so they directly chose a more important bombing target, but the Soviet Union did not have the strength to strictly defend the area. These planes took off from more than a dozen airports near St. Rudolph, bypassed the Soviet central war zone, cut into Moscow from the south, and flew directly to Ulyanovsk. The scale of the bombing was completely larger than that of the German planes when they bombed London. At that time, the family of the German air force was not as rich as it is now. Even with the do-217 bombers, the German forces in bombing London could not match this time. The purpose of dispatching so many airplanes at one time is to destroy the industrial production circulation chain in the rear of the Soviet Union as much as possible and relieve the pressure on the increasingly tight German front-line forces. A large number of cheap Soviet self-propelled guns have begun to threaten the German tank forces, which is not what the German commanders want to see“ Bell... Bell! " In a bright room, the phone rings suddenly, but there seems to be no one in the room, so the phone rings all the time, but no one answers it. So the bell rang stubbornly, until finally a hand picked up the receiver from the phone body: "hello? This is the duty room of the air defense headquarters of the supreme command. Do you have anything important to report? " The officer on duty slowly asked the caller in a long voice. Recently, the work here is really despairing. The Germans are shelling the west of Moscow not far away, but they have to ask about a certain German air raid hundreds of kilometers away. It's meaningless, isn't it? " Huh? Can you make it clear? You mean you're sure you saw a big German bomber, not a do-217, but a bigger butcher strategic bomber? " After hearing the report on the other side of the telephone, the officer suddenly asked in a shrill voice, "in the Volga River Basin? 40 minutes ago? How to report it? Don't hang up. Wait for me He left the receiver in his hand, pushed open the door of the office and rushed to the end of the corridor. While running desperately in the empty corridor, he cried out the information he just got: "the German strategic bomber is in Stalingrad! They're out! We're on the move“ Hello? I am... What? We need to evacuate the factory immediately. Are there any employees? I'm afraid it's not easy for them to work. " A Soviet general far away in Ulyanovsk, carrying a microphone, said to general vatukin on the other side of the phone: "there are raw materials and factories everywhere... I can't move everything here in ten minutes! Comrade General. " Before he had finished what he wanted to say, the air defense alarm in the city echoed. It was obvious that some remote guard posts found German planes and sounded the alarm to remind people in the city“ Comrade general, your notice is too late... In theory, we should have got the news 30 minutes ago, but now that the air defense alarm has gone off, I know that the German plane has arrived. " The general continued helplessly: "if there are more than 200 German planes, as you said, Ulyanovsk is now over." After that, the general in charge of the production and defense of Ulyanovsk closed his eyes and let the sound of explosion come from a distant place. For mobile phone users, please visit http://
