Chapter 928: Il-two

When the German Stuka bomber raged across Western Europe, the Soviets in the east were also thinking. When the German HS129 appeared as a flying tank, the Soviets were even more shocked.

The Soviets must have the same weapons as Germany. This kind of weapon has a very powerful role in supporting ground!

Therefore, under various pressures, the department headed by Sergey-V-Ilyushin under the Soviet Central Design Bureau (TsKB) has been working on a new model called TsKB-55 two years ago. The name given by the military is the Bsh-2, which is "armored ground attack aircraft."

The initial design requirements were: single-engine, two-seater, total weight of the engine and occupants should not exceed 700 kg, and it was also stipulated that 4 to 7 mm thick nickel-molybdenum alloy steel armor plates must be installed, the wings are all metal, and the fuselage is It is a mixture of metal and wood, and the rear of the fuselage is made of wood.

The engine is Mikulin AM-35, with a powerful power of 1,350 horsepower.

A year later, the prototype was manufactured. It was equipped with a total of 4 7.62mm machine guns on the wings, and one was also installed at the rear of the cockpit; the magazine inside the wings could carry 4 100kg bombs, which could also be replaced with Two 250 kg bombs were suspended under the wings.

Unfortunately, the performance of the aircraft at this time was not satisfactory, especially when the weight continued to increase, the aircraft reached 4.7 tons, which made the AM-35 engine developed specifically for high-altitude flight overwhelmed.

After urgent modification, the aircraft used a modified AM-38 engine with 1,550 horsepower, and at the same time, reduced the number of pilots to one. In this way, it barely met the performance requirements. The initial production model was named Il -2, the equipment was given to the fourth ground air attack regiment.

There are still many problems to be solved for the flying tank behind, this is just the original model.

Now, after receiving the order, the aviation regiment that had transferred to take off immediately.

These days, they have been studying how to attack the Brest Fortress. Every strategic location and every solid fortification in it is the target of their research, and they are already confident.

However, before taking off, they received a new order to find a terrible cannon hidden behind the Brest Fortress and destroy it. This cannon is at least the 406 naval gun!

Commander Varisi took off first. The engine in front of him gave out a puff of black smoke. The fighter plane ran on the runway until it reached the end of the runway. He pulled up, the fighter plane took the **** and slowly Rising.

Although it was replaced with a new engine, the maneuverability of this aircraft was still very bad. Before changing to this aircraft, they all flew the biplane Polykabov aircraft, which is agile and flexible, both In comparison, this is like cement in flight, too difficult to fly.

Every action must be careful, because the engine power is insufficient, there will be accidents from time to time, and more frightening is various mechanical failures, this newly equipped aircraft will always have some inexplicable problems.

After climbing to about 500 meters, he turned his head and glanced back. The subsequent planes were slowly taking off. Now, they are about to attack!

At this time, they didn't know that the German agents who had been ambushed by the airport saw their takeoff, almost when he had just taxied onto the runway, the Germans on the opposite side followed suit.

They are all FW190, the most advanced fighter! Under the nose, a 40mm Bofors cannon gleamed.

The pilot, Colonel Werner-Maldles, sat in his cockpit and looked at the eastern sky. He knew that the battle was about to begin.

As a veteran flying hand, Werner's most brilliant battle was in Spain. At that time, he fought against Soviet aircraft. Neither Yi-15 nor Yi-16 were his opponents.

But when he returned from Spain, his record did not rise too much, because he was experienced in the sky over Spain. After returning, he became an instructor of the aviation school and taught a group of rookies to fight in air combat. This made him very depressed. I also want to show my skills on the battlefield like other pilots.

He has made countless reports, but they all fell to nothing. In this way, watching the battle on the western front end, he finally had the opportunity to be transferred from the aviation school to serve as the commander of an aviation regiment on the eastern front. .

And his landline has become the latest FW190. At this time, the BF109 is almost on the verge of discontinuation. Messerschmitt is said to be producing a newer model of jet.

After entering the aviation regiment, he suddenly understood his experience in the aviation school. Germany needs an ace and a pilot like him. However, it needs more experienced pilots to teach by example, and to bring more ace pilots.

In his aviation regiment, there are five or six trainees he has taught, and all have a record of more than five shots down. When the pilot told how to obtain the results according to his training, Werner knew that his contribution was meaningful. .

Now, he must strictly enforce the order.

If possible, he led a team to fly over, and could destroy the opponent’s aircraft to the ground. However, the superiors gave a death order. Air combat can only break out in the airspace of his own. Those fighters that were shot down can only land. On its own territory.

At this time, he is no longer the young guy who only knows about fighting. He knows the political considerations of his superiors. This is just a border friction, not a battle of life and death. The invasion war against the Soviet Union has not yet begun. Well, in the future, some of them are fighting.

Soon, bright spots appeared in his field of vision. Sure enough, the opponent's altitude was very low, so he planned to enter directly at a super low altitude!

"Attention, find the target, at three o'clock, prepare to dive, and fire after the opponent has crossed our fortress!"

They also cannot enter the sky above the fortress, which is the combat area of ​​ground-based anti-aircraft artillery to avoid being hit by mistake.

They can only wait behind the fortress.

The Il-2 assault aircraft unit did not pass through the fortress, but circled and passed through the swampy area south of the fortress. Only this action made Werner admire the wiseness of the opposing commander.

The northern part of the fortress is a forest, where anti-aircraft artillery can also be arranged, but the southern part of the fortress is a swamp, so it cannot be arranged there.

This is exactly what Varisi considered. Even if he wanted to bomb the fortress, he did not intend to brave the fortress's fierce antiaircraft artillery and go directly up the **** from the east, and also go around the swamp in the south and go to the back of the fortress.

Almost all of the antiaircraft artillery on the fortress are arranged in the east. Therefore, if you sneak an attack from the west, it is the easiest to succeed and the loss is small.

And now, they are not going to bomb the fortress, they are looking for the terrible cannon behind!

However, just after flying over the fortress, in the sky, in the clouds, the terrible fighter jet dived down!
