Chapter 1212 Wrath (Eighteenth)

The first attack of the Luftwaffe's strategic bomber unit undoubtedly demonstrated extremely powerful attack power. Kazan, an important industrial city, was almost destroyed. The aircraft factory, which was the key target of the Luftwaffe, was completely destroyed. This directly caused a huge blow to the aircraft production capacity of the Russian Air Force.

When the bombers of the Luftwaffe dropped their bombs and swaggered away, only the Russians on the ground were left to clean up the mess with a heavy heart. They knew that the bombing by the Luftwaffe had caused them huge losses. But what they don't know is that this is just the beginning. Immediately afterwards, the Luftwaffe's strategic bomber unit, which has tasted the sweetness, will continue to attack large cities in Russia one after another, destroying all the factories in these cities, and further attacking the war potential of Bu Russia, allowing them to fight in the future. In the midst of the war, it cannot persist.

In modern warfare, it is the comprehensive national strength that is fought. Industrial strength is undoubtedly the most important part of comprehensive national strength. Once the industry is destroyed, it is impossible for Bu Russia to persist in the war. Even if they still have an army of tens of millions, they have no bullets, no shells, or even guns. What can they use to resist the German attack? You can't really let the soldiers fight with bare hands against the Germans who are armed to the teeth! In that case, Bu Russia will not last long in the war, and will be completely defeated soon.

Even if the Americans will not sit back and watch Russia fail, they will continue to provide support to Russia. But unfortunately, the transport capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railway simply cannot meet the consumption of tens of millions of Russian troops.

Kremlin, Joseph's office. After deciding that the Luftwaffe's bombing target was not Moscow, Joseph left the bomb shelter. However, his face was still very ugly. Because he knows that since the Germans can bomb Russia's hinterland cities, it means that as long as the Germans are willing, they can bomb Moscow at any time. It is possible to fall. This feeling made Joseph a little nervous. He didn't want to be attacked by the Germans one day while he was still asleep. In that case, the consequences would undoubtedly be very serious.

At 10:30 in the morning, Shaposhnikov, General Astakhov and General Zavoronkov entered Joseph's office.

"Comrade Joseph, the German air raid is over," Shaposhnikov reported.

Joseph put down the document in his hand, and glanced at Shaposhnikov and the others. This look made the three of them feel a biting cold, and they could feel the suppressed anger in Joseph's heart. If it breaks out, they will all suffer.

"How's the situation in Kazan?" Joseph asked coldly.

"Comrade Joseph, Kazan was bombed by more than a thousand heavy bombers from the Germans, and most of the city was destroyed by the Germans. Our aircraft factory in Kazan was also completely destroyed. Those Jacques that had just begun to assemble -1 fighter jets, all destroyed!" Admiral Astakhov reported.

"Bastard!" Joseph couldn't help cursing. Although he had expected such a result a long time ago, after Qing Er heard that the loss was so great, he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

Shaposhnikov and the others fell silent for a moment, without saying a word.

"Is there any way to prevent the bombing of the Germans?" Joseph asked.

"Comrade Joseph, we may be able to let the Americans support us with a batch of radars. If there are radars, we will be able to detect the German fleet first, and then take precautions." Admiral Zavoronkov said.

"Radar? I'll let the People's Committee of Foreign Affairs contact the Americans. With the radar, can I avoid being bombed by the Germans?" Joseph continued to ask.

"Comrade Joseph, I'm afraid this will be very difficult. We currently have no way to intercept the German bomber fleet. The German bomber fleet is flying at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. The fighter jets we are equipped with now, whether they are P Neither the -40 fighters nor our own I-16 fighters can fly to such altitudes. Unless the Yak-1 fighters are in service, there is no way to intercept them. Also, the Germans have escort fighters for these bombers. These fighters are very capable In the previous battles, we have lost more than 300 P-40 fighter jets. It can be seen that these P-40 fighter jets are completely vulnerable to the German escort fighter jets." Astaho General Husband said.

Joseph's face couldn't help but become even more ugly. He had read the report and knew that the performance of the P-40 fighter jet was a little more advanced than the I-16 fighter jet of the Russian Air Force. But even the P-40 fighter jets are vulnerable, let alone the I-16 fighter jets. Even if they fly to the sky to fight, they will probably only be killed by the Germans.

"If our Yak-1 fighter jets are reorganized, when will they be able to serve?" Joseph asked.

"Comrade Joseph, it is estimated that it will take more than half a year to re-produce the corresponding parts and other preparations!" Admiral Zavoronkov said.

In order to speed up the production of the aircraft, they deliberately placed the parts factories of the Yak-1 fighter jets around the assembly plant. No one thought that this would facilitate the Luftwaffe and give them a pot.

"Half a year? No, it's too long. Three months, I need to see our Yak-1 fighter jets flying in the sky in three months to fight against the Germans!" Joseph gave the order unreasonably.

Admirals Astakhov and Zavoronkov knew that the task would be very difficult. However, facing Joseph's strength, they had no choice but to accept it.

"Comrade Joseph, the Germans' large-scale bombing has already begun, and I am worried that their bombing will continue. By then, many of our factories may be bombed by their heavy bombers. War will be very unfavorable," Shaposhnikov said.

"Is there any way to deal with it?" Joseph asked.

"From the current point of view, I am afraid that we will continue to move the factory to the east. Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk to the east of the Ural Mountains. In this case, we may be able to escape the bombing of the Germans."

Although Joseph felt very aggrieved by running away like this, he had no choice but to accept this suggestion when there was no other way.
