The bombing campaign has ended, and the fourteen aircraft that completed their missions have returned.
In this operation, pilot Adler finally achieved a result that satisfied him - he and his wingman killed the hangar of the Soviet airport. Compared with his comrades, he blew up the enemy's valuable targets to pieces, so he was considered a pilot.
All I saw was the talking points that I was proud of.
However, Adler himself did not believe that simply blowing up the flat ground of the enemy's airport into craters could seriously weaken the guerrillas' capabilities. Because there were still frequent shootings in the forest surrounding the airport, and his own Stuka aircraft
The wings showed signs of being hit by bullets.
Fortunately, this group of guerrillas lacked heavy weapons after all, and were hit by ordinary bullets. Unless they hit the engine or mailbox, serious consequences would be likely to occur.
The planes returned to the airport one after another, and Adler's technicians gathered around them one by one. Those who were attentive immediately saw the scars on the plane.
"What's going on? Did you go to bomb the guerrillas and was intercepted by enemy fighter jets?"
"That's impossible!" Adler jumped off the wing and said: "This is an attack by enemy ground fire. Even if we blew up their airport, the air-to-air shooting in the forest did not stop at all. The lower end of the wing
The bullet marks are the masterpiece of the Soviets." Finally, Adler muttered: "I am very lucky, if they had anti-aircraft guns or large-caliber machine guns, we would be in trouble!"
In fact, he did not know that the Soviet army under the forest was equipped with anti-tank guns. However, due to the shortage of ammunition and the rush to fight, the soldiers did not use these weapons at all. If anti-tank weapons were also used, they would serve as anti-tank weapons.
The weapon will be able to easily penetrate the wings of the aircraft and perhaps destroy it.
After all, the air raid was successful. It was not a huge victory. Adler and his comrades returned to the base, celebrated each other a few words, and went to rest together.
The planes were pulled back to the hangar one after another, and the intact ones were lined up on the airport, some even covered with canvas.
These German pilots like to go to the bar in the airport, which is an important place for them to spend time. As a German, it is really a pleasure to drink some dark beer and eat grilled sausages after performing a mission.
This German army bar still had some new tricks at this time. Several women from Ukraine acted as dancers to please the German soldiers.
Not all Ukrainians are loyal to Stalin. Tens of millions of people experienced the uprising ten years ago and hate the Soviet Union. In addition, Ukraine already has a large number of nationalists. Since the establishment of the Soviet Union,
They opposed this regime. Now that the Germans are coming, they have established a puppet regime in Ukraine, and the nationalists have ushered in spring.
As for the subsequent defeat of the German army and the scorched-earth policy in Ukraine, which led to the defection of Ukrainians who supported the Nazis, the Germans became the target of execution in this land.
Now, these dancers followed the train to southern Belarus. They and many Ukrainian men came here voluntarily. The men served as workers, serving the German army, and even as airport ground handlers. The women either came with their husbands or were...
In order to make a living, he used his body to please the soldiers.
Many pilots had already arrived at the bar early, and most of them were not on missions. They were watching the dancers' performances. Until the guys who had completed their missions came back, everyone stood up in awe.
Adler and his wingman came here with their small briefcases just to have a drink.
Seeing this, the scantily clad dancers immediately came over and started posing in front of these tall and handsome German men.
"Get up! Get up!" Adler waved his hand, he really couldn't stand these women.
This move caused ridicule from many people.
"Hawkeye Adler, are you still so loyal? We're already on the battlefield, and you still don't want to sleep with these women?"
"Shut up! Fred! I advise you to watch your crotch, we are here to fight! If you worry about other things, your life will be in danger!"
"Come on, I will feel more energetic when flying a plane after doing this!" The pilot waved his hands and sneered at this lecture. Many people laughed at this.
It is true that these women's job outside of dancing is to engage in the flesh business. This behavior has been practiced by prostitutes accompanying the army since ancient times. The German Wehrmacht generally kept themselves clean, but as the war continued, discipline became worse and worse, especially for a long time.
To keep the nerves tense, only tobacco, alcohol and sex can soothe the soldiers' hearts on the verge of collapse.
Usually, the Germans would force women in occupied areas to become military playthings, but there were also those who voluntarily engaged in the flesh business. The original discipline prohibited these, but Hitler was too far away and the front line was too close!
Adler ordered a beer and some sausages and sauerkraut to go with his meal. In the bar, the pilots immediately talked about the air raid.
Most of the people were talking and laughing, but Adler had a sullen face, as if he was worried.
"What? Are you still angry about the offense just now?" Pilot Fred came over holding a wine glass. "Sorry, I was just joking."
Adler raised his glass generously and showed a smile.
"It seems that you are not angry with me." This person moved a chair to sit down and continued to ask: "Why, you have completed the mission in this operation, and you are not satisfied yet."
Adler nodded, "Yes. I really don't know what the use is of blowing up their airport. It is a small airport, much smaller than ours. As for the guerrillas in the swamp, they achieved almost all their results with infantry.
, in this air strike, we also encountered ground fire resistance. Marshal Clausewitz pointed out that only the elimination of the enemy's effective strength is the key to victory in the war. So we spent five tons of ammunition, and the results we achieved were minimal."
"You may be right. But the enemy's airport was still destroyed. As for the guerrillas hiding in the forest, friends, they are like field mice under the ground. They cannot be eliminated unless the ground is turned over. Unless we
Only by clearing all the forest can we eradicate the guerrillas. Why don't our superiors know this? We have now received intelligence that the enemy's troops may already know our location, and they will attack in the next few days."
"We haven't attacked them yet, but they have come to attack us. It's a hundred kilometers from the swamp to our airport. They came from a long way, but our highway defense force couldn't annihilate them! Now it's our turn to personally attack them.
Guard the airport!”
"Friend, I can see that you have more or less complaints about your superiors. We are soldiers and can only obey orders. Our reinforcements are about to arrive. If we hold on for three more days, we will be safe. We are building defenses now.
Position, we will take to the air to fight if necessary, I don’t think the enemy has much combat effectiveness.”
Unlike these resting pilots, it was still bustling outside the airport. Some defenders were patrolling, and more people were building fortifications.
Workers cut trees in the forest, matched wooden poles with barbed wire, and hung cans. They created a large number of primitive alarm systems. Behind these obstacles were field trenches. According to the order of Captain Koch, the German army would quickly surround the airport.
Build a ring of fortifications.
No matter how many enemies come, they will never try to destroy the airport.
But Balzen's death squads, a small force specialized in forest warfare, were rushing towards the airport non-stop. No matter how well the Germans built their defenses, they could only create some simple Soviet forces in a short time.
The purpose is very clear, which is to turn aircraft into scrap metal to eliminate the air threat to military camps and collective farms. (To be continued.) u
