"Marshal Milch, has the attack target been selected this time?" Marshal Albert Kesselring asked.
"Your Excellency, Kazan and Nizhny Novgorod have been preliminarily identified. There are aircraft factories in Russia in these two places. And according to our information, the aircraft factory in Kazan is preparing to mass-produce an advanced fighter jet. Code-named Yak-1 fighter, although there is still a certain gap in performance compared with our BF-109 fighter, it can already pose a certain threat to our BF-109 fighter.” Marshal Edward Milch said.
"Oh?" Marshal Albert Kesselring couldn't help but frowned.
At the beginning of the war, the Luftwaffe almost crushed the Russian Air Force, so that now the sky in the theater is completely dominated by the fighters of the Luftwaffe. The fighter planes of the Russian Air Force did not dare to go to the theater at all. Because once it enters, it will be shot down in all likelihood. It is precisely because of this that the Luftwaffe was able to unscrupulously attack the ground targets of the Russian army and cover the army's operations.
If the Russian Air Force has relatively advanced fighter jets, it is conceivable that they will definitely challenge the German Air Force frantically. After all, after losing air supremacy, the constraints on them are too great. Even if it can't take back the air supremacy from the Germans, it can at least pose a threat to the Luftwaffe and facilitate the actions of their ground forces.
"Since this is the case, then we have to pay attention. Marshal Milch, I have a suggestion." Marshal Albert Kesselring said.
"Your Excellency, please speak."
"The target of the bombing this time should be determined to be Kazan! Destroy all the factories related to Bu Russia and all aircraft manufacturing here! In this way, we can at least deal a big blow to Bu Russia's aircraft manufacturing capabilities. At the same time, Kazan can also be completely destroyed. Only in this way can others see our strength. In addition, the escorting long-range fighter jets can also be used together to provide more comprehensive protection for the bomber force!" Albert? Marshal Kesselring suggested.
Marshal Edward Milch thought for a while, then nodded: "Just follow the advice of Your Excellency the Minister! We dispatched 900 H-11 bombers and 300 H-21 bombers, enough to blow up the entire Kazan .”
Kazan is only 1,200 kilometers away from the airport where the heavy bombers of the Luftwaffe are parked, and it is completely within the strike radius of the H-11 and H-21 bombers. Among them, the H-11 bomber can carry bombs weighing up to four tons to Kazan for bombing, and then return to the airport. The H-21 bomber can carry six tons of bombs to Kazan for bombing, and then return to the airport. In this case, 1,200 heavy bombers would be enough to drop 5,400 tons of aerial bombs on Kazan at one time. These bombs are enough to blow up the city of Kazan into ruins. If all of them are put into the factories of Bu Russia in Kazan, these factories can be easily razed to the ground.
It is conceivable that once Kazan is destroyed by the Luftwaffe with heavy bombers, this will cause serious damage to the Russian aviation industry. Next, Bu Russia wants to continue to compete with the Luftwaffe for air supremacy, so this possibility is almost impossible.
Time passed bit by bit, and the heavy bombers and long-range fighter jets of the Luftwaffe all completed the transition before January 6. Materials such as aviation bombs and aviation fuel have also all arrived at the front line. The bomber unit of the Luftwaffe is ready to attack.
Of course, it is winter now, and whether the bomber unit can attack depends on whether the weather conditions allow it.
In this regard, the Luftwaffe specially convened a group of meteorologists to conduct research. The final conclusion is that starting from January 8th, there will be two days of blue sky, and then there will be heavy snowfall for several days in a row.
Therefore, after discussions between Marshal Albert Kesselring and Marshal Edward Milch, the time for the attack was set for the morning of January 8.
After asking the emperor Qin Tian for instructions, Qin Tian agreed.
After the order was issued, the strategic forces of the Luftwaffe began to get busy. Pilots need to be familiar with the route, and ground crews must seize the time to refuel and add ammunition to these bombers. After ensuring that the order is issued, these fighters can take off. The long-range fighters escorting these bombers have also moved to the front-line airport. Their task was to provide protection for these bombers. In order to be able to avoid being intercepted by Russian Air Force fighter planes before the heavy bomber unit of the Luftwaffe launched a bombing.
Although the performance of the Russian Air Force's fighter jets is not very good, no matter how bad the fighter jets are, they are more flexible than these huge bombers. If attacked by enemy fighter jets, the bomber itself will be at a very disadvantage.
At two o'clock in the morning on January 8, the heavy snow stopped. Ground crews had already started clearing the runway when the snow had just started to shrink. The snow was cleared and then salted to ensure that the runway would not freeze again.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, before the sky was bright, the bombers of the Luftwaffe began to take off.
The H-21 bomber took the lead. These three hundred H-21 bombers took off from three airports in Belarus. H-11 bombers then took off from airfields in Belarus and Ukraine.
A total of 1,200 heavy bombers climbed to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters before flying smoothly. In order to increase the range, these aircrafts all adopt an economical cruising speed of 380 kilometers per hour. In this case, it will take a little over three hours to fly from the airport to Kazan.
After these heavy bombers took off, the long-range fighter jets of the Luftwaffe also took off one after another. These long-range fighters all carry auxiliary fuel tanks. They climbed above the bomber fleet and monitored the surroundings. Once they found an enemy plane approaching, they would attack, shoot down or expel the enemy plane to ensure the safety of their own bombers.
In order to enhance the strength of the escort, Marshal Edward Milch even dispatched 240 FW-190 fighter jets from the 2nd Aviation Group and the 3rd Aviation Group to join the **** formation. Although, the FW-190 fighter jet has a range of only one thousand kilometers and cannot fly to Kazan. But if they encounter Russian fighter planes after crossing the border, they can attack them first to prevent the BF-110 fighter jets from abandoning the auxiliary fuel tank during the battle, thereby shortening the voyage. Improve the **** force of this bombing as much as possible.
Fighters plus bombers, a total of more than 1,900 fighters are flying in the air. Although divided into several echelons, each echelon is undoubtedly an extremely large fleet. At least, this is enough to scare Bu Russia enough.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
