Chapter 1151 The Prerequisite for Victory

Breakdown, finally breakdown! Looking at the Stalin tank with its turret blown away, Modlin's heart was excited. At the same time, this also confirmed his judgment. The advanced shelling armor-piercing projectile was invalid for the Stalin tank, and the original projectile was more suitable!

"Quick, give a notice to our troops that against Stalin tanks, only blunt armor-piercing rounds can be used to hit the side!" Modlin shouted to the radio operator.

Although it was penetrated, Modlin still knew that blunt armor-piercing bullets would definitely not penetrate the front of the opponent. This tank must be stronger than the KV-2.

As for why the advanced armor-piercing projectiles can't be penetrated, after the battle is over and the opponent's Stalin tanks are captured, let the military engineers behind them do a test.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield has been intertwined.

The German armored group broke through the first line of defense of the Soviet tanks, but behind the line of defense, there were still several long tank arrays waiting for them, and the heavy tanks that they passed through have now begun to turn around. Well, it was clear that they intended to surround and eat the German tank forces.

The German armored forces were in a dilemma, and now they had to rely on the tank opener overhead to get there quickly.

"Commander, we have surrounded the German tanks, and we must have the confidence to kill them all!" At this time, in the military headquarters a few kilometers behind, the chief of staff Colonel Tamrucci faced the army commander Kondrushev. said.

The 22nd Mechanized Army finally arrived at the battlefield on time, and they entered the battle just in time. The current situation is favorable to them.

Up to now, the Soviet Patriotic War has not been smooth, the Germans are advancing, the Soviets are constantly retreating, and the Soviets desperately need a decent battle to prove themselves.

The smooth progress today made their faces smile at last. They already knew the number of the enemy on the other side, the 5th Panzer Division of the SS, that is, the Viking Division. If such an army were killed by their own side, The blow to them must be quite big!

"However, there is a prerequisite for our current victory." Kondrushev said: "Our air force must be able to withstand the attack of the Luftwaffe and create conditions for us to encircle and destroy the Germans. If the German attack aircraft Come here in large numbers, and we are afraid that we will suffer heavy losses."

Learning to fight in war, the Soviets have begun to notice that when the Germans attacked with tanks, the air force was immediately accompanied. On the first day of the war, the Soviet air force was wiped out on the ground, and the sky above was lost. It is an important reason for the continuous failure of ground troops.

And now, the Soviets are also rapidly mobilizing, and the aviation regiments in the rear are constantly being mobilized to the West. Now they must withstand the attack of the Luftwaffe and create conditions for their own encirclement and annihilation of the German ground troops.

The stubby I-16 fighter jets were flying in the sky. The entire fleet consisted of sixteen planes, led by Captain Pozdenyakov. Their mission was to intercept the German attack fleet.

In one corner of the formation, pilot Hlobestov sat in a cramped cockpit, intently piloting his plane.

They had transferred from Murmansk in the rear a day ago. They had almost just rested before entering the battlefield. At this time, German planes were raging around, and they had to win more with less.

Although before the war started, the Soviet Union already had some advanced aircraft, such as MiG-1, Yak-1 and so on, but these aircraft were scarce after all, and more aircraft were destroyed before the war. On the ground, advanced aircraft are almost exhausted.

In the second-line troops, I-15 and I-16 are still the main force. In the history of the Great Patriotic War, the main force of the Soviet Air Force in the early stage was almost this kind of aircraft.

The short I-16 is not easy to operate. When Khlobestov was just flying this kind of aircraft, he almost broke his arm by the operating lever. Fortunately, he has finally mastered it.

He looked down, and at this time, their aircraft group had already flown over the battle, and he could see that a battle was in full swing below, and the scene was quite intense.

"Attention, find the German fleet, prepare to attack!" At this moment, the commander of the brigade came from the headset.

In the front, the German aircraft has appeared, the twin-engine HS-129!

As the Soviet Air Force was destroyed for the first time, the air supremacy on the entire battlefield fell into the hands of Germany. In addition, the military situation was urgent. Therefore, the Luftwaffe had almost no escort aircraft, and only flew over a team of HS-129 attack aircraft.

Lieutenant Hans-Hermann-Steinkamp sat in the bathtub of his attack aircraft, his attention was all on the battlefield, and in this mixed time, they had to polish themselves Eyes, can not mistakenly hit their comrades.

At the same time, the call came from the radio, indicating that a powerful Soviet tank appeared on the scene, and it was not easy to destroy the Tiger tank of our own side. We must first kill the biggest threat, the Stalin tank.

However, the pilot's nature still made him look up at the sky from time to time, and then he saw the group of aircraft in the sky over there.

"Attention, we found that the Soviet fighter jets are attacking us." Lieutenant Hans shouted loudly in the radio: "Abandon the ground attack and prepare to meet the enemy."

No way, they were originally just attack aircraft, used to attack the ground, but now, the Soviet aircraft group in the sky is coming to attack them, and they have to fight.

If it's still the original HS-129, their best bet is to get away quickly, because the heavy armor makes their maneuverability quite poor, but now it's different. After changing to the French engine, they have gotten rid of it. The problem of insufficient power, although they are attack aircraft, they can also conduct air combat.

What's more, those stubby I-16s came. This kind of aircraft was still advanced in 35 years, and now it is 41 years old. The maneuverability is probably not as good as the HS129.

Pulling the throttle lever, the engine is fully turned on, and the HS129 attack aircraft began to climb into the sky. In order to attack the opponent's tank, they were originally flying at a low altitude. Now they have to pull up the height for air combat.

Their behavior immediately aroused a burst of excitement among the Soviet pilots. Are these slow-moving attack planes going to fight with their own side? This is simply to die for.

They also greeted them one after another.
