Chapter 1713 Howling at Dawn

Malashenko can predict that today's battle will not be easy, this is inevitable.

The Germans will use all their skills and abilities to deal with him. Malashenko can predict this and is sure that he is prepared.

But things that exceed expectations always happen too quickly. For example, Comrade Lao Ma really didn't expect that today's battle would actually start with the roar of the German Stuka.

Woo——

"Air attack! German air attack! Everyone get down and protect comrade division commander!"

boom--

"Bah! Damn it!"

With an elegant and easy-going mouth, he quickly got up from the ground and straightened his back. Malashenko almost forgot the last time he was bullied by a German plane. The anger in his heart was accompanied by the anger in his heart early in the morning. Not to mention how angry I was when I woke up.

"What a bunch of bastards! Where are our planes? Shouldn't the air supremacy be in our hands? Where are all our fighter aircraft?"

The number of Stukas owned by the Germans was not that large. At a rough estimate, at a glance, there were only a dozen or less than twenty in total in the sky.

For a strategic counteroffensive of the level of Operation Bagration, the German planes are not enough to fill a gap in this huge battlefield, and they are still used on the most important battlefield: the Germans are about to be taken over. The air strike force at the dumpling encirclement point, such a shabby force, shows how poor the German air force is now. ׺°”˜˜`”°º×

Although it has not encountered an air attack for a long time, this does not mean that the air defense forces attached to the Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division will weaken and become passive.

In fact, as early as yesterday evening when the defensive positions were being built near the village, the political commissar in charge of defense arrangements had already been watching the construction and erection of the air defense positions. All types of long-gun and short-gun anti-aircraft guns of the division's field air defense battalion pointed obliquely at the sky, raised their barrels, pointed the black muzzles in the direction where the German planes might attack, and were camouflaged.

Dong dong dong——

Boom——Boom——

Under the premise of being fully prepared, the division's field air defense battalion had already entered the battle as soon as the enemy attacked, firing fiercely into the sky.

The small-caliber anti-aircraft cannon with a high rate of fire created a dense barrage of fire, blocking the attack channel of the German aircraft and forcing them to be unable to drop bombs. The 85mm large-caliber anti-aircraft guns are grouped into a group, covering the designated airspace under unified command and prediction. The dense black cloud of anti-aircraft shells can swallow up an entire airspace at once. This is far more powerful than Large-caliber anti-aircraft guns are more effective alone.

A Stuka couldn't dodge and rushed directly into the explosion barrage of the 85mm anti-aircraft gun. It was very unlucky. When it got in, it was still intact, but the paint was slightly peeled off.

And when the unlucky guy jumped out from the other side of the black cloud of explosions, the skin of his body had been torn apart by high-speed shrapnel and was scarred and tattered. Hanako's clothes, which he hadn't changed in ten years, were still in tatters.

The severe damage to the body's skin was not a fatal injury. What was frightening was that after tearing apart the weak defense of the body's skin, the high-temperature and high-speed shrapnel still retained huge kinetic energy and continued to move forward. Finally, it crashed into the main fuel tank of the Stuka's body and ignited the aviation fuel, instantly bursting into flames.

The entire dilapidated Stuka immediately fell down like a meteor falling from the sky, burning with smoke and flames.

Scenes like this are by no means an exception. The serious shortage of German air raid forces and the anti-aircraft troops on the position were well prepared and ready to work, making this air raid and air defense battle an evenly matched battle, rather than the traditional concept. Overwhelming air strike superiority.

The Stuka, which had acceptable performance at the beginning of the war, is now an outdated rag. The Red Army's Figure 2 tactical bomber in horizontal dive-double bombing mode can blast ten streets east and west.

To deal with the Stuka, the Red Army's air defense force has already accumulated very mature experience. The amount of preview advance based on the low-speed maneuverability characteristics of this thing is all textbook-level content that has been written into the air defense textbook.

Take down the Stuka, a stupid and slow pregnant seagull, and that's basically what the first enemy plane shot down by the young Red Army soldier was like.

The anti-aircraft firepower on the ground is extremely fierce and continues to surge.

The German pilots who were dodging left and right in the sky, constantly dodging anti-aircraft fire and dancing with death, noticed that some of the Russians on the ground who had not been suppressed by air strikes and were under the protection of their own anti-aircraft fire actually climbed onto the tanks to control them. The anti-aircraft machine gun on the roof of the vehicle joined the battle and opened fire on its own side.

For the Stuka pilots responsible for ground attacks, such behavior is basically the same as spitting in the face. How do you still look down on me so much despite my air strikes? Are you giving up all this face and lizi or what?

But what is helpless is that form is stronger than people. Without the intensive firepower of those anti-aircraft guns, the German pilots can guarantee that they will plunge in with a sudden force and instantly defeat those daring Russians with their people and vehicles.

But in the current situation, rushing down in the face of intensive anti-aircraft firepower is basically the same as seeking death. The Stuka's key armor protection, which is better than nothing, simply cannot withstand such intensive anti-aircraft firepower.

Sometimes you don't even need to hit the anti-aircraft guns on your back. Even those Russian tank anti-aircraft machine guns mixed with armor-piercing incendiary bombs can easily knock down your own Stukas.

"Damn it! This battle is unwinnable, the Russians' position is like a hedgehog!"

Translated in a down-to-earth manner in Chinese, the angrily cursed words of the German commander who led the air raid indeed meant this.

Soon, Malashenko, who was protected by the division's security personnel, saw those German Stukas who had been driven out and scurried around like poor ducks. After repeated attempts to no avail and a suitable attack channel could not be found, and five or six planes were chased away one after another, all for nothing, the plane finally turned around and turned around with a shake of its wings and left.

Of course, before leaving, these Stukas casually dropped the bombs they brought into the village. In short, they could not take back the things they brought out.

These 500, 250 and even 50 kilogram aerial bombs of different types landed in various locations in the village. Some did hit people and caused certain casualties, but after all, these were only a few.

More aerial bombs fell on the edge of the village, in the open spaces on the roads in the village, and in houses where no one was staying at all. After a series of crackling sounds of walls collapsing, houses collapsing, and aerial bombs exploding, there was no more movement. Comrade Lao Ma, who was so angry, stood there and continued to curse.
