Chapter 1196 Busy Night
At this time, the setting sun was shedding the last rays of light on the base, and the fighter planes of the entire base were covered with a layer of gray light.
"Major Pokryshkin, welcome to Petersburg," the commander of the base, Colonel Alexander Golofanov, said to him after he jumped out of the plane. "You came very quickly."
The mobilization of troops is not a matter of saying a word. It involves all aspects. After receiving the order, the 16th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment was the first MiG-3 fighter force to arrive. At the same time, their ground staff have also After getting on the train, they will arrive here in the middle of the night, and after dawn tomorrow, they will be on a battle cruise near Petersburg.
The other air groups will arrive in Petersburg tomorrow morning.
With the fatigue of the transition on his face, Pokryshkin said: "It is a great honor for us to fight side by side. I hope the ground crew can help us take off the auxiliary fuel tank first, fill us with fuel, and we will take off at any time."
Although the Germans said that they would come at noon tomorrow, if they believed the promise of the opponent, they would definitely be laughed at. This is not the scene of the duel of gentlemen a thousand years ago. In order to win, any means will be used. can be used.
Whenever there is an enemy situation, they must be dispatched immediately, even if it is just flying over and exhausted.
"Captain, I really want to be dispatched now." Just as Pokryshkin was communicating with the base commander, his wingman Rechkalov also got off his plane, twisted hard and he was almost caught. Frozen head, said to Pokryshkin.
Seeing his frozen nose and swollen face, Pokryshkin's head was incomparably large: "You didn't close the cockpit cover?"
In this day and age, all planes don't have open tops, but many pilots are reluctant to put the lid on their head, which is simply a tradition.
And for the MiG-3, it was almost a life saver. The aircraft was flawed in its design, and its cockpit couldn't be opened when flying at high altitudes and high speeds.
That is to say, if a malfunction occurs in this situation, the pilot cannot parachute to escape. However, there is nothing to say. In this situation, it is impossible to parachute. At high speed, jumping out has to hit On the vertical tail of the plane, the death is even worse.
However, this argument was not accepted by all pilots. Many people opened the cockpit cover when they took off, and they flew all the way and became frozen dogs.
Hearing Pokryshkin's question, Rechkalov had to nod.
"How many times have I told you that when the cockpit cover is open, it will reduce the speed of the aircraft. For us, speed is the magic weapon to win. Don't always think about escaping!" On the battlefield, people who are afraid of death will It is an absolute truth that only those who are not afraid of death can live longer.
Now, Rechkalov looked at the base that had been darkened, and said to Pokryshkin: "If it was on the battlefield, I wouldn't think about running away, but I would still think about killing the enemy, captain, you said today Will the Germans come later?"
Looking at his subordinates eager to fight, Pokryshkin was very emotional. In fact, he did not expect the battle to come.
The German bombers left a deep impression on him, and those roaring FW190s left a deep imprint on his heart. For him, the Germans were a terrible enemy, and he did not want to be with each other. For the enemy, they are experienced, they fight everywhere, and most of their own pilots come from aviation schools.
However, they have no choice, this is their mission! In his expectation, there will be a tragic battle tomorrow. And tonight, the harassment of the Germans will certainly not be less.
The night has enveloped the earth, and many people are destined to have no sleep tonight.
Latvia, border region.
A convoy is advancing along the muddy road. Latvia is just a small country in the Baltic Sea. Its economic strength is very poor, and its domestic infrastructure is also quite poor. It was annexed by the Soviet Union at the beginning, and the Soviet Union did not give Latvia any benefits. Let the people here feel the warm embrace of the Soviets.
For them, there is no sense of identification with the Soviet Union at all. In fact, even in later generations, when the Soviet building collapsed, it started from the three Baltic countries.
The team is very secretive, they don't turn on the lights, they rely entirely on night vision to move forward.
These vehicles are all converted from Ford's four-axle-drive off-road trucks. The bodies are large, and the cargo behind them is all shrouded in camouflage camouflage nets. You can't see anything, except that the shape is similar to a cylinder.
In the convoy, there are also various combat vehicles, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, and even one or two tanks. Come on, it's mysterious.
Even in Germany, few people know about this unit. The ordinary Wehrmacht has never heard of them. They only obey the orders of the Führer. They are the No. 14 unit of the SS.
They operate V-2 missiles, affectionately calling them Cyric's turnips.
On an 82-barrel truck, Lieutenant General Hans Kamler of the SS was resting with his eyes closed. When they received the task, they were ready to set off in two hours. Now, the destination is about to be reached.
Thousands of days of raising the army are used for a while, and they are talking about them. Since their establishment, they have only attacked the United Kingdom once. After that, they died down again, as if they had never appeared.
Now, they are about to show their formidable strength again, making the Soviets irresistible.
Kamler couldn't sleep. Although he closed his eyes, he was always thinking about something.
Their current V-2 missiles are still too close, and now, under the leadership of Braun's team, the new V-4 missiles are in the midst of an intensive series of test flights.
In Libya, they are said to have hit a range of 1,500 kilometers with the same accuracy as today's V-2 missiles.
This is a secondary missile, which is more complicated to operate, but with a range of 1,500 kilometers, it sounds exciting. With this kind of missile, we can hit Moscow directly in East Prussia.
It is a pity that there has not been much progress in the miniaturization of thermobaric bombs. Their missiles can only carry conventional warheads. If they can carry thermobaric bombs, it will be amazing.
According to Führer Cyric, this is just the beginning of the missile. Germany will build a larger missile, the largest, which can reach a range of more than 10,000 kilometers and hit the other side of the ocean directly. At the same time, man-made aircraft can also be launched into space, creating a new era and conquering space.
Kamler has no feelings for this plan. In his eyes, what is the use of hitting space? It would be more fun to build more missiles that hit the United States. "Here." Just then, the car stopped.
Kamler pushed open the halfway door and walked down. This is a forest, the trees are not dense, and you can see the stars are twinkling in the sky above.
"Immediately deploy the equipment, calibrate and shoot all the elements, and there can be no deviation." Kamler said.
Their current main equipment is V-2 missiles, and the circular error may reach an astonishing one kilometer. In addition to increasing the launch density and warhead power, they need to accurately determine their position. If all goes well, they will The error may also be only 200 meters.
It's been a busy night.
