Chapter 1541 Kalinin Falls

A one-ton bomb fell from the sky, with a huge speed and incomparably fierce.

"Boom!" The bomb hit the roof. In an instant, the entire building vibrated violently. The impact was so powerful that the prefabricated concrete floor was directly smashed through.

Several people on the roof were hit by the swirling concrete fragments and fell screaming. A soldier was hit by the fragments and stepped back two steps. As a result, he stepped on the air and fell directly from the roof. There was a scream in mid-air.

The bomb hit the top floor from the top of the building, and it continued to smash through the floor without resting. On the lower floor, the delay fuse was detonated.

"Boom!" The explosion was extremely loud. There were hundreds of kilograms of high-explosives in the one-ton bomb. This one can blow up a giant battleship. Now, in the huge explosion, this The top of the building was shattered in an instant.

Just like the blasting when the building was demolished, the upper floors collapsed suddenly during the explosion, and countless fragments were lifted up and flew into the air.

The German soldiers surrounded by the outside all hid in the armored vehicles, looked at the scene in front of them, and discussed with tsk tsk.

It's too powerful.

However, one building was not enough for the whole building. Just after the explosion here, the second HS129 attack aircraft entered a dive.

When the bomb of the third attack plane was finished, the entire building had disappeared, and even a large pit was blown up on the ground, and pieces of concrete filled the surrounding area.

There's no more alive inside.

Those who are not killed by the bombing will be crushed to death, and those who are not crushed to death will also be shocked to death. If they do not surrender to Germany, this is the end!

Without any resistance, Germany will not waste its precious soldiers here in vain. To deal with stubborn guys, they will use absolute strength to crush them!

Now it's just calling for bombers, and in the future, when other new German weapons, such as individual air incendiary bombs, are installed, it will be easier.

With the bombing of the Kalinin headquarters, this Kalinin battle, even if it is over, the German army has knocked on the northern gate of Moscow.

"Comrade Stalin, Kalinin has fallen." In the basement of the Kremlin, Stalin listened to the words of his subordinates, and his face became even gloomier.

Kalinin, the northern gate of Moscow, has now fallen into the hands of the Germans, who can drive straight in, all the way to Moscow.

Come on, Moscow is waiting for the German army, if they dare to come, they will be attacked head-on!

"We have to strengthen our defense, deploy a tight line of defense in Kling and wait for the Germans to attack." Zhukov said.

As Zhukov returned to Moscow, he continued to gain Stalin's trust, and because of the correctness of the previous predictions, Zhukov had a great say.

He is strategizing and directing the defense of Moscow.

They didn't have any more troops and could only sit back and watch Kalinin's fall. At the same time, this was also in line with Zhukov's idea of ​​layering defenses, constantly consuming the strength of the Germans, and finally fighting a difficult offensive and defensive battle with the Germans under Moscow.

They did not have any extra troops to send to Kalinin. In their plan, all the cities in the periphery would eventually be lost, and the troops sent there were already doomed.

"At the last moment, the Kalinin Front did not surrender, and they fought to the last moment." Stalin said: "They are all good, the commander of the Kalinin Front Konev, the chief of staff Kurasov and others, all of them. Give them the title Hero of the Soviet Union."

In the Soviets, this is the most honorable title, even if it is a high-ranking commander, it may not be obtained. Now, Stalin awarded these titles to these martyrs, in recognition of their bravery and tenacity in this battle. And called on the whole army to learn from them.

"The lack of air support is a big reason for the failure of the Kalinin Military Region." Zhukov continued to analyze: "We have been able to see that without air power, our ground forces would be very passive. Now, we must Think about increasing our air power."

The situation is quite unfavorable for the Soviets. They still have enough tanks and planes, but they are all short of fuel! Several actions by the Germans caused the Soviets to suffer from oil shortages.

It was originally placed on the United States, but the passage of the sea has been temporarily blocked, and Moscow has reached the most dangerous time.

"Gromov Test Flight Academy is using alcohol instead of aviation gasoline on our fighter jets. I don't know how the experiment is going," said an Air Force officer.

The Soviets will not compromise. The Soviets must continue to fight. Now, since there is a lack of fuel, it is an idea to think of other ways, such as using alcohol instead of gasoline.

However, this thing is not easy to operate.

South of Moscow, 40 kilometers, near the Moscow River, a small town, Stakhanovo.

The city is very young. It was founded in 1935. The name of the city is in honor of the famous miner Alexei Stakhanov. If only this is mentioned, few people know it, and in In later generations, it was famous, but it changed its name.

Zhukovsky, the city was renamed in 1947 in honor of Soviet aerodynamics and fluid dynamics pioneer Nikolai Zhukovsky, and, moreover, became the center of Soviet aviation.

There are three institutions of higher learning located here, the Gromov Flight Research Institute, the Central Aerodynamics Institute and the Cyprus International School of Management.

Among them, the Gromov Test Flight Academy was born on the eve of the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War. At the beginning of this year, the Academy was established by order of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the People's Committee of the USSR.

There is already a unified process for the design of aircraft, in which flight test is the most important, and test flight is not suitable for various design bureaus, but it is best to be in a unified professional place, this is the original purpose of flight test academy, for vigorous The developed Soviet aviation industry developed and tested new aircraft and trained a sufficient number of senior pilots.

Hero of the Soviet Union, legendary test pilot and Air Force Lieutenant General Mikhail Mikhailovich Gromov was named the first director of the Flight Test Academy.

However, as soon as the Academy was established, the Soviets faced a German invasion, so almost as soon as the Test Flight Academy was established, most of the experts and equipment had to be transferred to Kazan and Siberia, east of the Urals. The academy's test site became the home of the Soviet 45th Long-Range Aviation Division.

And now, in the test flight field, the latest test flight project is still being carried out, using alcohol instead of gasoline.
