Chapter 1211 Destruction (Seventeenth)

"Attention all wings, fly over the target in ten minutes. The bombers began to lower their altitude and prepare to drop bombs. Escort the formation of fighter jets, prepare to suppress the ground anti-aircraft firepower, and cover the bombers dropping bombs!" Lieutenant General Otto Desloch ordered.

It is almost unnecessary to guess that the Russian air defense forces on the ground must be ready for battle. It took the German fleet three hours to reach Kazan, and the Russians could not fail to guess their target. But even so, Lieutenant General Otto Desloch is confident that he can destroy all the important factories in this city in one fell swoop.

According to the information obtained before, the Russian Air Force's factories producing Yak-1 fighter jets and their spare parts factories are all concentrated in the southwest of Kazan. This also made this area a key bombing target of the Luftwaffe.

"Quick! Quick! Prepare to attack. The German planes are coming!" The Russian air defense soldiers in Kazan ran into the anti-aircraft artillery positions under the urging of the officer. A series of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, as well as aimed at the sky, waiting for the Luftwaffe fleet to appear.

Most of these anti-aircraft guns are 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 20mm anti-aircraft guns, which pose no threat to German bombers at high altitudes. However, once these bombers descended, they were able to destroy them. Even if the heavy bombers of the Luftwaffe are very strong, they will definitely not be able to withstand these anti-aircraft guns.

It's just that the bombers of the Luftwaffe did not launch an attack immediately, but let the escort fighters launch the attack first.

The Russian air defense forces on the ground opened fire immediately after seeing a large number of German fighter planes swooping down.

"Boom boom boom! Da da da!"

Anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns fired wildly, shells exploded in the air, leaving clouds of black smoke. The tracer bullets fired by anti-aircraft machine guns left traces in the air, as if forming a dense anti-aircraft fire net.

However, for those high-speed flying BF-110 fighter jets, such an attack density is nothing at all. Often it was the Russian anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns that chased these fighters, but could barely hit them. The situation may seem dangerous, but it is actually very safe.

"These idiots!" The Luftwaffe pilots couldn't help laughing when they saw that the Bu-Russian air defense positions on the ground were exposed.

This is mainly the reason why these Russian air defense forces encountered such a situation for the first time. If they have experience, they will know that compared to these fighters, those bombers are the deadly threat to them. Therefore, when facing these fighter jets, they should exercise restraint as much as possible, and wait until the bombers lower their altitude before launching an attack. In that case, it is entirely possible to cause greater casualties to the bomber fleet of the Luftwaffe. However, these experiences can only be obtained after paying the price of blood.

"Suppress the Russian air defense positions!"

The officers of the German escort fighter force gave the order.

These BF-110 fighter jets of the Luftwaffe began to attack the exposed Russian air defense positions.

"Da da da!"

A BF-110 fighter jet swooped down from a high altitude and strafed an air defense position of the Russian army. Dense bullets poured on this air defense position, and many Russian air defense soldiers were killed.

"Boom boom boom!"

The machine gun bullets poured into the Russian air defense positions, and the Russian soldiers were torn to pieces, and even the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were destroyed.

Under the attack of the escort fighter jets of the Luftwaffe, the Russian air defense forces suffered heavy casualties. Many air defense positions were misfired.

After Lieutenant General Otto Desloch saw this situation, he decisively issued an order for the bombers to launch an attack.

The German bomber fleet in the sky began to descend.

The first to launch the attack was the H-11 heavy bomber. These heavy bombers took the wing as a unit and gradually descended from a height of tens of thousands of meters to a height of only two kilometers from the ground. According to the plan, they flew over the factory located in the southwest of Kazan.

The magazine was opened, and aerial bombs roared and smashed to the ground one after another.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Intensive explosions sounded, flames soared into the sky, and smoke and dust scattered. The factory buildings were destroyed in the explosion, and the machinery and equipment inside were naturally lost.

Countless Russian workers escaped from the factory buildings and fled in all directions. However, during the large-scale bombing by the Luftwaffe, their lives seemed so fragile, and they wanted to escape safely, but found that it was impossible. Most of these workers were killed in the explosion.

The bomber fleet of the Luftwaffe bombed in an orderly manner according to the plan. After a wing dropped its bombs, the bombers immediately climbed to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters before returning to Germany. After all, at this altitude, the fighter planes of the Russian Air Force posed no threat to them, and they could safely withdraw to Germany.

"It's over, our factory is over! Those Yak-1 fighter jets are being assembled! Without these planes, what can we use to fight the Germans?" The person in charge of the factory saw their factory destroyed, and seemed to be crying Blood.

The Yak-1 fighter jet has become the hope of the Russian Air Force. Although the performance is still not comparable to the advanced fighter jets of the Luftwaffe, at least they have a certain amount of power to fight back. But now, the Germans acted first and directly destroyed their factories. Although the factory can still be rebuilt and those destroyed parts can be re-produced, it will undoubtedly take time. What's more, the Germans could bomb Kazan, and no doubt they could also bomb other cities. For the Russian Air Force, this will continue to cause losses.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Under the intensive bombing of thousands of bombers by the Luftwaffe, almost all the factories around Kazan were destroyed. Even most of the city was not spared from the bombing.

Although, during the bombing, several bombers were shot down by ground anti-aircraft fire. However, such a small loss is nothing compared to the losses they caused to Buer. Although many bombers were hit by the anti-aircraft firepower on the ground, the trauma was not serious, and they were still able to return.

After all, these heavy bombers weigh up to 20 to 30 tons, and the body structure is strong. For them, minor trauma will not cause fatal injuries. Precisely because of this, this is why the fighter jets of the Luftwaffe must be equipped with cannons. Only machine guns can destroy these heavy bombers. In the case of aviation machine guns, the threat it poses is very limited.
