Imperial Overlord

Just behind Krupki, not far behind the increasingly stable defense line of the Soviet Union, is a secret airport of the Soviet army, and the pilots of the Soviet army are urgently preparing for the attack. . fastest update

Although the Luftwaffe had achieved unbreakable air supremacy on the entire Soviet-German front line, the heroic Soviet pilots still kept taking off, using their battles to delay more time for the motherland.

Yes, stalling for time, what the USSR lacks the most right now is time. The United States had entered the war, and it had begun to use wartime statutes to bypass Congress to provide strategic support to the Soviet Union.

Materials and resources were continuously transported through the Bering Strait to the Soviet Union's Far East ports. These routes were routes that even the Japanese fleet was unwilling to manage.

With the support of the United States, and owning a series of minerals such as oil fields and steel, the industrial capacity of the Soviet Union is improving every day.

It takes time to recruit soldiers, and it takes time to arm these soldiers; it takes time to produce weapons, and it takes time to make troops proficient with these weapons.

Therefore, if the German army wanted a quick war, the Soviet Union must want to delay the war. Until the Soviet Union could use its superior resources to bring down a fragile Germany.

"Comrade Zaitsev... You know, this is a very important mission!" A commander of the Soviet Air Force, standing under the camouflage net, said to his men.

Because of the strength of the Luftwaffe, airfields close to the front were disguised. The plane was covered with a camouflage net, which would not be lifted when it was not taking off.

The rudimentary runway was overgrown with weeds, the only way to escape the patrols of the Stuka dive bombers.

The skies of the entire battlefield belonged to the Germans, and those eagles with iron crosses sprayed on their wings were simply the overlords at the top of the food chain.

The Soviet Union lacked anti-aircraft guns and other weapons. In order to stop these planes, they were constantly shifting the anti-aircraft guns around the city to the front line to fight.

Anyway, the Germans never seem to bomb cities endlessly, and the occasional bombing of the Soviet military has decided to ignore it.

It's not that the Luftwaffe doesn't plan to bomb these Soviet cities, but as the attack deepens, there are too many targets to bomb, resulting in all kinds of blindness when the German bomber forces attack.

The ground troops attacked too fast, and some areas that had just been bombed became their own occupation areas in a blink of an eye. This bombing was simply causing trouble for its friendly forces, so the bombing of the Luftwaffe became more and more cautious.

"After takeoff, fly as low as possible... Avoid those patrolling German fighter jets, go to the vicinity of Minsk, and look for the target attack marked on the map!" The pilot named Zaitsev was handed a map marked with the target. , the commander said to him quickly.

Because Minsk is still under the siege of the German army, and because there are many Soviet troops that have not been completely wiped out, it is not difficult for the Soviet Union to get some information.

Intelligence from a guerrilla detachment showed that the Germans were using the captured trains and repaired tracks to quickly transport troops and supplies to the outskirts of Minsk.

Destroying this railway and blowing up the materials hoarded in the frontline stations of the other side must be a good choice to prevent the German army from continuing to advance.

"You only have two planes, but these planes are not junk like the i-16! This is our country's secret weapon!" The commander pointed to the plane beside him and said to Zaitsev.

Zaitsev nodded, and he flew over the plane, knowing of course that it was a very powerful fighter.

It was precisely because the plane in his hand was very powerful that he resolutely accepted the mission and decided to go deep into the German occupation area to carry out the mission.

"Comrade Commissar! I will definitely complete the task!" Zaitsev gave a military salute and said to his superior.

"Very good! You are a party member! You must take the lead! Go! Go! Go to destroy the enemy and fight bravely for the country!" The political commissar patted Zaitsev on the shoulder and encouraged him loudly.

The ground crew began to help launch the plane, and others began to help lift the camouflage net on the plane.

A fighter plane painted in green camouflage was exposed to the sun. The red five-pointed star on its fuselage looks so shining.

As a new type of fighter that just entered service in 1940, the IL-2 attack aircraft is a fairly powerful combat aircraft.

Frankly speaking, it is more suitable for ground attack than the Stuka dive bomber that entered service earlier, because it was specially developed to "sweep the ground".

To be more precise, the Stuka bomber is a bomber used to precisely drop bombs to clear targets. Its most ideal goal is the bridge railway and fixed fortifications.

The IL-2 attack aircraft is specially designed to clear targets such as soldiers and cars on the ground.

The difference between the two is that when throwing bombs accurately, Stuka is better; when attacking a piece of target, Stuka is not as good as il-2.

Of course, in war, all weapons are deadly, and it is as powerful as the Stuka, which can attack the ground, and the IL-2 attack aircraft, which can barely bomb accurately, can be considered usable.

However, the il-2 is equipped with a large amount of armor and is known as an air tank in the war. This aircraft is sturdy and durable, and can often return home with injuries from German fighter jets.

Coupled with the powerful firepower of this weapon itself, it is a Soviet weapon that makes the Luftwaffe and ground troops feel more difficult when it appears.

In real history, the Soviet-German war began on June 22, 1941, when the Soviet Union had more than 200 il-2 attack aircraft.

And now ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ time has been advanced to April 1941, the number of il-2 attack aircraft in the Soviet Union is less than 160.

Allocating these 160 aircraft to the long frontline area, it is conceivable that the new weapons in small numbers cannot play any decisive role at all.

However, using these new aircraft flexibly and trying their best to strike important areas of Germany at key points can achieve the purpose of delaying the German offensive to a certain extent.

Because of this, the Soviet pilot Zaitsev climbed onto his attack plane without hesitation, and with the help of the ground crew, aligned with his wingman on the takeoff runway.

With an order, the two Soviet il-2 attack aircraft, loaded with bombs and full of ammunition, began to taxi on the slender runway.

Finally, at the end of the runway, the two Soviet attack planes took off and flew towards their target quickly.

Without pulling the canopy covered with heavy steel plates, Zaitsev felt the coolness of the wind rushing into his cabin... His eyes were full of determination, like a generous death.
