"I have never thought that we actually have so many planes. It seems that such a scene has never appeared during the Red Square military parade. Maybe it's just psychological effect. Maybe it's been too long since I've seen decent air support."
indefinite."
Malashenko was not the only one looking up to the sky, Iushkin, who was half out of the turret beside him, was also doing the same thing.
After hearing Iushkin's "deep emotion", Malashenko on the side also nodded slightly and grinned.
"Yes, it's not just you who thinks so, I feel the same way."
Woo--buzz--
The Figure 2 bomber formation, with its engines roaring and roaring, had already flown directly over the head of Malashenko's car. The huge engine noise directly overshadowed the sound of the tank column and was deafening.
Although the flight altitude of the bomber formation in Figure 2 is not as low as that of the Il-2 attack aircraft formation just now, it is only more than a thousand meters above the ground. An altitude of less than two thousand meters is not too high.
As a front-line main tactical bomber, the Figure 2 has a very solid and reliable body structure. It can not only undertake the task of horizontal bombing, but as long as the pilot is skilled enough, has enough combat experience, adopts a dual-engine configuration, and has sufficient power, the Figure 2 is completely
Can perform dive bombing missions with precise bomb delivery.
It is not without reason that it can be called the best frontline tactical bomber in the late World War II. The actual performance of Figure 2 is fully worthy of this title, and even better. The bomb load of four 500kg aerial bombs is sufficient among tactical bombers.
Powerful, these 18 Figure 2 bombers will predictably inflict a heavy blow to the German army. Malashenko is very convinced and certain of this.
The only thing he needs to do next is to rush forward to give those Germans some last-ditch damage and send tanks one by one.
"It will start soon. You will probably hear explosions later, so be ready."
Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division, which was in pursuit, was only less than ten kilometers away from the fleeing German troops in front.
If tanks and infantry on the ground want to cross this straight-line distance of less than ten kilometers, they may have to drive bumpy and tortuous for a long distance.
But for airplanes in the sky, a straight-line distance of only ten kilometers can be reached in an instant.
The roar and explosion caused by the falling of a 500-kilogram high-explosive aerial bomb is enough to be heard clearly several kilometers away. Thinking of Malashenko, who will soon be bathed in the flames of death by the Germans, the corners of his mouth can't help but rise slightly again.
He stood up and looked quite expectant.
"I want to see how long you bunch of rubbish can last, and experience the last painful moments before death in the torment of the three-dimensional pursuit in the open space."
Malashenko guessed correctly...
Just when the bomber group in Figure 2 had just flown away with less than a cigarette left, a mighty and violent roar and explosion came from the distance as promised.
Boom boom boom——
"Oh! It's started, listen!"
Iushkin, who seemed to be excited all of a sudden, grabbed Malashenko's arm and shouted repeatedly. Of course, Comrade Ma, who was not yet deaf, immediately perked up his ears and listened carefully.
At first it was just one or two loud explosions with long intervals, but later it evolved directly into a series of explosions with the sound of aerial bombs. It was like the sound of cannons at ten o'clock on New Year's Eve directly spanned to
Just like at twelve o'clock, explosions like mountain roars and tsunami came one after another and soon continued to come from the distant horizon.
"This is quite a noise! The German guy must be extremely happy now, I can guarantee it!"
Iushkin, who looked excited and surprised, couldn't restrain his inner excitement and blurted out directly. Malashenko, who had the same feeling, knew that the time was ripe.
"All crew members, I am the division commander Malashenko. Speed up the march and move forward at full speed! In the evening we will really have to go up and act as a corpse collection team. Rush up and kill those Germans! Today we are going to end everything!
"
The short battle after the fierce air raid just now was done with almost no effort. In addition to harvesting those trashy German guns and trophies, there were only those who were caught and thought it was a nuisance.
, time-wasting prisoners and Kraut corpses all over the floor.
What Malashenko wanted was a glorious victory, not eating leftovers from planes and rushing to serve as a corpse collection team. Stalin’s 1st Guards Tank Division was not a scavenger like a vulture.
Kill those Germans! Not only will they eat the meat of the Germans, but they will also chew their bones!
This is the true meaning of the Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division emblem designed by Malashenko himself.
The violent explosions one after another were like thunder falling continuously, getting louder and louder as the distance approached, and it was almost deafening.
Malashenko, who didn't know how far he was from the Germans, could only rely on the distance of the explosion to roughly judge how far he still had left to the battlefield.
Just like the tactical arrangement just now, Malashenko, who was striving to quickly intervene in the battlefield, still sent his best friend and good brother: Deputy Division Commander Lavrinenko personally led the team and led a group of fastest medium tank troops to launch the attack.
Passage to confirm the specific situation of the current battlefield.
That is to say, when Comrade Lao Ma estimated that there were still about two or three kilometers away from the explosion, Lavrinenko's familiar voice suddenly came out from the radio transmitter hanging beside him on the bulkhead of the turret.
sound.
"We're here, Malashenko! Large areas of Germans are being bombed. I can't count the exact number at the moment. I can only tell you that there are many, many! Really, many! Trucks, tanks, infantry, everything, everywhere.
, it looks like there aren’t many bombs left in the bomber, they are almost used up, what are you going to do!?”
The first thing after arriving at the battlefield was to report to Malashenko the actual situation he saw with his own eyes. This is an invisible tacit understanding that has long been formed between Lavrinenko and Malashenko.
"While the plane is not finished blowing up, rush up and open fire on those Germans and get close to them! Just make sure not to enter the dangerous range of accidental bombing. As soon as the air raid is over, rush forward and tear those Germans apart!"
Even without seeing the specific situation at the scene with his own eyes, Malashenko could roughly imagine and guess how miserable the Germans were being suppressed now! The rain of 500kg aerial bombs is not so easy to withstand. The Germans are now
Not to mention standing up and resisting, they probably even thought about finding a crack in the ground to crawl in to avoid the air attack, and they didn't care about the Red Army troops coming from the ground.
