Chapter 3095 The Red Sky (Part 1)

This is an unimaginably large mixed fleet of multiple aircraft types. It can even be said to be the largest fleet in history flying in this sky.

Flying in the outermost and higher airspace are the La-7 fighter jets of the Red Army's Fighter Aviation Unit, which are responsible for guarding the entire mixed fleet and performing escort missions.

Flying in the middle of the fleet is the largest formation of Figure 2S tactical bombers.

This excellent twin-engine medium bomber uniformly carries 500 kilograms of heavy aerial bombs specifically designed to suppress enemy fortifications and bunkers.

This is also the heaviest ammunition that Figure 2S can carry under the strongest mounting scheme. A total of 4 ammunition can be carried in the wing roots and belly bomb bays at one time. It is suitable for any common solid bunkers and permanent/semi-permanent preparations. The fortifications all have excellent damage and damage effects.

Even if it were a rough-skinned battleship, its horizontal armor would still be unable to escape such heavy aerial bombs. It was powerful enough to bomb targets such as airport runways and oil depot hangars.

Located in the center and back of the fleet is a formation of Pei-8M strategic bombers that are far larger than all surrounding tactical aircraft.

Each Pei-8M strategic bomber adopts the same mounting scheme, carrying one symmetrical FAB-5000 super-heavy aerial bomb on two heavy mounting points under the left and right wing roots.

This huge aerial bomb can already be called a "sub-nuclear weapon". Even if it is hung under the wing of the already huge Pei-8M aircraft, it still looks exaggerated in size.

Thanks to the replacement of the same engine as the B29, the power output has been greatly improved. Otherwise, it would have been replaced by the original engine of the Lao Pei 8. This exaggerated mounting solution is enough to allow the Lao Pei 8, which is suffering from heart disease, to land at the airport. It can't even fly on the runway.

"Thirty, forty, fifty, sixty-nine, ten, a hundred."

"Damn Sukka, is this too much? With a fleet of hundreds of aircraft, can those bandy-legged Japanese monkeys withstand such a torment? The last time we saw such a big battle was at Zeluo Highlands, no, it was Zeluo Highlands. At that time, there was no such a large mixed fleet in Luohe Highlands.”

The sight of hundreds of planes flying over a large area of ​​darkness above my head, blocking out the sky and the sun, shocked me on the spot.

Standing in the shadow of the fleet, he felt that the sunlight around him had weakened a lot. Lavrinenko sighed, but he really didn't expect his superiors to be so generous in sending out such an unprecedented super fleet in order to bomb the Japanese army.

Even during the previous wars, mixed fleets of this size were extremely rare.

Malashenko, who was also standing in the shadows and witnessing this scene with a telescope in his hand, also sighed and spoke.

"This means that after the Nazis have been completely dealt with, they can be fully free to take action. It is estimated that most of the aviation troops who returned from the Eastern Front battlefield and were reviewed have flown to the Far East to participate in operations. Those Japanese devils have probably never seen such formations in their dreams. Fighting, just in time to open their eyes for the last time before they die."

As Malashenko said, the Kwantung Army has indeed never seen such a three-digit large mixed aircraft fleet covering the sky and the sun in actual combat, whether it is its own aircraft or enemy aircraft.

The Japanese soldiers who stayed behind in Japan did have the opportunity to meet the rice beasts, but many of them had become literal "acquaintances" and were baked and served on the table by the barbecue master Li Mei.

Also because he witnessed this battle with his own eyes, Malashenko could probably guess that Vatutin was serious about it.

Now that we have taken action, we will directly eradicate the weeds. The scale of the air raids of this type is obviously aimed at uprooting the Japanese army's integrated aviation operation capabilities.

Malashenko could already picture in his mind the scene of the Japanese military airport being blown up, and he even saw the two huge black gas tanks mounted under the wings of the Pei-8M.

The power of this thing cannot be described by the word "big". The destructive power of sub-nuclear weapons is never a joke to you.

If one fell down, let alone the airport runway, Malashenko estimated that all planes parked on the empty airport within one kilometer in diameter would be destroyed.

As far as the Japanese planes are so crispy that they catch fire as soon as they hit the ground, there is no essential difference in talking about what type of aircraft was parked at the airport and bombed.

What does "all living beings are equal under the gas tank" mean? This is what it is called.

"Huh? Wait, that one is"

Malashenko, who was holding a telescope and continuing to observe the fleet of aircraft in the sky, took a closer look and suddenly found an unusually familiar figure appearing in his field of vision.

It was a La-7 fighter jet painted in grass green camouflage, with a red nose engine fairing and a yellow half of the vertical tail. The huge red star on the fuselage and the "27" aircraft number were the obvious identification features. .

What is even more exaggerated is that under the cockpit of the Nala-7 fighter jet, there are densely painted 62 red stars and 3 Soviet Hero Medal logos.

The paint on the fuselage is not used casually. It must match the driver's personal merits before being allowed to paint.

Even if we look at the entire Red Army, there are only a handful of people who have won the Hero of the Soviet Union three times.

Zhukov is one, Malashenko is another, Pokryshkin is another, and the other one is Kozhidub.

Pokryshkin achieved outstanding military exploits by flying the P-39 "Flying Snake" series of fighter jets supported by the United States. However, there is only one person who has won three Hero of the Soviet Union awards while flying on the Soviet-made Lavochkin series of fighter jets. ——Koradubu.

He looked at the red eagle in the sky, who had won the Hero of the Soviet Union three times like him, flying at the forefront of the entire mixed fleet and taking the lead.

Malashenko has been able to determine who the pilot is in the No. 27 La-7 fighter jet.

Recalling that I had many battlefield cooperation experiences with Kozhedub, this top ace of the Soviet Air Force, known as the "Stalin's Eagle", had fought with the Nazis for air supremacy on top of his head several times, flying with arrogance. The Germans killed them until no one was left alive.

Unexpectedly, he would meet Kozhidub here again under the same sky. Malashenko, who was rather sighing, raised his hand and pointed to the front of the plane and said casually.

"Did you see it? There are three Hero of the Soviet Union medals flying in the sky."

"What? The medal is flying? Where? Where is it??? Oh, so you mean the painting of the plane."

Lavrinenko, who was a little too sincere, held up the telescope and looked at it for a long time, and then he found the "Flying Medal" Malashenko called, Kozhedub's No. 27 La-7 fighter.

"Three times the Hero of the Soviet Union, this person must be Comrade Kozhidub. I saw a report in the newspaper a while ago that he came to the Far East to guide fighter aviation training. It seems that the guidance was fake. He beat the Japanese devils hard. That’s true.”

In order to confuse the enemy.

The Soviet Union did the opposite in the preparation stage before the war. It did not keep the itineraries of many famous generals confidential but still reported them in a normal and orderly manner.

It was just that some deceptive methods were used, including falsehoods and falsehoods, without revealing the true purpose of these famous people coming to the Far East, including Kozhedub and Malashenko.

Comrade Lao Ma's purpose of coming to the Far East in the report at that time was to inspect the labor reform situation in the Nazi prisoner-of-war camps in the Far East. Take a look at how those Nazus who were captured by your own hands are doing now, how they have been reformed, and whether they have changed their minds and repented from the bottom of their hearts.

Malashenko was quite puzzled as to which low-level editor had written the report. Later he learned that it was the Ministry of Internal Affairs who published the report and the newspaper was only responsible for publishing it.

Since it was Lubyanka Street’s job, it was fine. Malashenko didn’t want to have anything to do with these people. You can work hard, or if you don't have any work, just bite the lighter.

It was just when Malashenko recalled these original details in an instant that Lavrinenko, who had been looking at the sky with a telescope in his hand, suddenly spoke in surprise, directly drawing Malashenko's attention back to the sky. .

"What is that, a Japanese fighter jet? Suka, look! Our plane has already pounced on the Japanese!"
