Chapter 1208 Out of reach (fourteenth)

"Damn it, are the Germans going to bomb Moscow? One day, I will definitely flatten Berlin!" Hiding in the air-raid shelter, Joseph's face was ashen, and his hands were tightly clenched into fists.

Moscow is the capital of Bu Russia, if it is bombed by the Germans, it will undoubtedly embarrass the whole of Bu Russia. Joseph himself also felt very shameless.

At the same time, Joseph became more and more dissatisfied with the performance of the Russian Air Force. How much he hopes that the Russian Air Force can take off fighter planes to intercept them when they discover the German Air Force's invasion, instead of just sounding the air defense alarm and letting them hide in the air-raid shelter. However, Joseph also knew that there was no way to do this. Who made the Russian Air Force too weak to compare with the German Air Force. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.

Hiding in an air-raid shelter and waiting for the German bombing is undoubtedly a torment for anyone.

However, Joseph waited for a long time, but there was no explosion above his head, which made him a little puzzled.

"What's going on? Didn't they say that the Germans dispatched a large number of bombers to bomb Moscow? Why hasn't there been any movement?" Joseph asked.

Joseph even wondered if this was a mistake. The Germans didn't dispatch bombers at all, but those guys became frightened birds, and they were frightened enough by a little trouble.

"Comrade Joseph, the General Staff reported that the German plane did not come to Moscow, but continued to fly east." After a while, a staff member came to report.

Joseph's face suddenly became very ugly. Instead of bombing Moscow, the Germans went elsewhere. This also means that the Germans can attack Moscow at any time. It's just that this time the Germans regarded other cities as more important goals than Moscow. This feeling is as if Buer has been slaughtered by the Germans. This made Joseph very dissatisfied.

"Asshole! The Germans must have bombed the factories we moved to the east. They are going to attack our war potential!" Joseph is not a fool, and he can easily guess the target of the Luftwaffe. However, this made him even more angry. The current Bu Russia is already at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Germany. If those important factories are destroyed, this will greatly traumatize the military production capacity of Bu Russia, which will be very detrimental to the next war.

"Give the Air Force an order. No matter what method they use, they must intercept the German bombers and not let them destroy our factory!" Joseph gave the order.

Although he knows that with the current strength of the Russian Air Force, it may be difficult to resist the bombing of the Germans. However, in order to ensure the safety of the rear factory, he must ask the Air Force to do its best to intercept it. Otherwise, once the Germans destroy their factories, it will be very difficult for Bu Russia to win this war. Even, it will become very difficult to continue.

"Yes, Comrade Joseph." The secretary immediately conveyed Joseph's order.

The Russian Air Force Command, General Astakhov and General Zavoronkov, are struggling. They were relieved that the Luftwaffe did not bomb Moscow. Because this somehow saved Buer's face, and wouldn't make Joseph lose his temper. However, instead of choosing Moscow as a bombing target, the Germans continued flying east. Obviously, they are going to attack the important cities behind Bu Russia! To some extent, this kind of tactics of the Germans is undoubtedly more harmful to Bu Russia.

"Comrade Commander, an order from the Kremlin!" A staff officer handed the telegram to General Astakhov.

Admiral Astakhov sighed after reading the telegram.

"Comrade Commander, does Comrade Joseph have any instructions?" Admiral Zavoronkov asked.

"Comrade Zavoronkov, Comrade Joseph asked us to take off with all our fighters to intercept the German bomber fleet." Admiral Astakhov said helplessly.

After hearing this, Admiral Zavoronkov didn't know what to say.

"Order the air force airports along the way to take off fighter planes immediately! No matter what, the Germans dispatched such a huge fleet, if they are allowed to bomb, we will suffer heavy losses. They must be intercepted." Astaho General Husband said.

"However, this will cause us even greater losses." Admiral Zavoronkov reminded. At the beginning of the war, the Russian Air Force suffered heavy losses. Even after a few months, it has not recovered. Although, they got quite a few fighter jets from the Americans. But the loss of those elite pilots is not so easy to make up for. Besides, whether it is their I-16 fighter jets, or I-15 fighter jets, or the P-40 fighter jets aided by the Americans, I am afraid that they are not the opponents of the advanced German fighter jets. Sending fighter planes to intercept is just to die.

"I know, but we have no other choice. Otherwise, Comrade Joseph will not let us go!" General Astakhov said.

Admiral Zavoronkov nodded: "I hope our pilots can defeat the Germans!"

Subsequently, the Russian Air Force Command issued an order requiring the German fleet to pass through the airports along the route and immediately take off fighter jets to intercept the Luftwaffe fleet.

After receiving the order, the airports of the Russian Air Force sounded the alarm. The pilots rushed to their fighter planes, took off with the help of the ground crew, and prepared to fight.

A pair of P-40 fighter jets and I-16 fighter jets began to take off, preparing to intercept the Luftwaffe fleet.

It's just that there is a vast area behind Russia and there are many airports. Even though the Russian Air Force still has a lot of fighters, the number of fighters that can be dispatched at this time is not too many. Moreover, whether it is a P-40 fighter or an I-16 fighter, there is no way to deal with the German fleet flying above 10,000 meters.

Because the ceiling of the P-40 fighter is only 8,840 meters, and the ceiling of the I-16 fighter is even worse, only 8,200 meters. The flying altitude of the German fleet reached tens of thousands of meters. This also means that they simply cannot reach the Luftwaffe fleet.

Of course, when the bombers of the Luftwaffe drop bombs, they will lower their altitude. At that time, it will become the target of these Russian Air Force fighter jets. It's just that if they want to attack the bombers of the Luftwaffe, they must first defeat the long-range fighters of the Luftwaffe escorted by them.
