Time goes back to before the fierce battle between Hardman and MiG fighter jets.
Red Star No. 9.
"Ula..."
"Comrades, our fighter planes are coming, go for it, long live the great Soviet people, long live Stalin..."
Yumashev, Pisanko and others saw a large number of Soviet fighter jets appearing in front.
The arrival of reinforcements made them excited and shouted long live.
Zhou Zhihan knew that this was the standard way for the Soviet Red Army to celebrate victory, and he also chanted along.
In fact, in such a critical moment of life and death, anyone would scream to release the tension and panic in their hearts.
After this battle, everyone's fighter planes have very little fuel left. If reinforcements do not appear, the consequences will be disastrous.
Maybe when future generations see this scene on TV and in movie theaters, they will think it's a bit 'licky', but in this crisis situation, besides shouting "Long live", what else can be used to release the emotion of escaping from death?
Seeing a large number of Soviet fighter jets emerging, Günter Lal was afraid of being attacked from both sides. He did not dare to continue to attack the Red Star 9. He quickly led his fleet to pull up to increase energy, separate to the left and right, take advantage of the high altitude, and prepare to attack the rear. The Soviet fighter jets came. At this moment, there was a violent explosion on the ground and fire broke out.
It turned out that there were many bombers among the large number of Soviet aircraft flying in. When they arrived at the JG52 Wing's station, they dropped bombs one after another. For a time, there were continuous explosions in and around the German airport, with flames shooting into the sky and thick smoke billowing.
In order to cover the Red Star 9 bomber, all Soviet bombers came to the rescue and dropped bombs on the German airport in order to contain the German fighter planes taking off.
The explosion on the ground was so loud that Gunter Lal could not judge how many enemy planes were coming behind him for a moment. He could only order his team members to move aside and observe the battlefield situation first. They must not attack blindly and get on the Soviets. Of course.
Gunter Lal led the fleet to ascend, and a moment later, Red Star 9 rushed into the oncoming Soviet fleet.
Seeing the Red Star 9 rushing into the Soviet fleet and being protected at all levels, the heavy burden on Zhou Zhihan finally fell away.
"Xu..."
Zhou Zhihan let out a long breath.
This top-secret and important task was finally completed.
An abnormality occurred in the engine of the Spitfire No. 214, which made Zhou Zhihan unwilling to fight again, so he followed the Red Star 9 and flew into the heavy protection circle of the Soviet fleet, flying towards Moscow.
The raid by Soviet bombers disrupted the defenses of the JG52 and JG51 wings. Moreover, many SB-2 bombers came this time, and mixed with the Red Star 9, making it difficult for the Germans to find them.
Fighter-bombers were flying in a steady stream from the direction of Moscow. From a distance, I saw several Spitfire fighter jets covered with injuries covering two bombers. All the fighter-bombers got out of the way like a tide. After Red Star 9 and others passed by, these fighter-bombers Like a tide, it blocked the flight path left by Zhou Zhihan and the others, blocking Major Dietrich Herabach and the others who were pursuing them from behind.
The quality of the Luftwaffe fighters was far superior to that of the Soviet Union, but their numbers were far inferior. Since the JG52 Wing had previously focused its attention on the two bombers, a large number of Soviet fighter-bombers flew in from all directions, catching the JG52 Wing by surprise. Major Trichy Herrbach could only command the fleet to fight, and could no longer pursue Red Star 9.
Without the pursuers, Spitfire No. 214 and the others covered Red Star 9 and landed safely at Moscow Airport.
There were fourteen Spitfires when they came out, but only six were left when they came back. Even the fuselage of No. 214 Spitfire had many pits and pits from shrapnel.
Due to the repeated fierce battles at high speeds, these Spitfire engines suffered varying degrees of damage, especially the Spitfire No. 214. As soon as it arrived at the airport, the engines began to emit black smoke, and then stopped. Zhou Zhihan once again used the take-off and landing wheels. When you are about to land, pull up and jump to eliminate the momentum and land safely.
There was a military vehicle waiting at the airport. As soon as Zhukov got off the plane, he was escorted into the vehicle.
"Wait a moment!"
Zhukov asked the driver to stop. He got out of the car and came to the pilots with messy hair and sweaty faces. He shook hands with everyone one by one, and finally shook Zhou Zhihan's hand: "Chinese warrior, what is your name?"
"Marshal! My name is Zhou Zhihan."
Zhukov patted Zhou Zhihan's shoulders with both hands: "Comrade Zhou Zhihan, thank you for your hard work!"
Zhou Zhihan saluted with a bang.
Zhukov left the airport in a car and told his adjutant that he wanted Zhou Zhihan's resume...
…
At this time, the atmosphere in Moscow was becoming increasingly tense. Surrounded by low clouds, the Kremlin, the heart of the Soviet Union, stood out.
Stalin stood in front of the tall arched window, looking at the sky, worried.
He was wearing a dark gray lapel top, a pair of black breeches, and a pair of polished riding boots. He looked particularly cold and dignified. His eyebrows were knitted and his slender eyes were slightly closed. He was smoking, holding a big black pipe in his mouth, and the smoke was filling his beard.
Stalin secretly said: "The situation in Moscow is too severe. It is unprecedentedly severe."
Not long ago, one after another came the battle reports: German tank corps and mechanized corps continued to advance, and the Soviet army responsible for blocking fell into the siege of the German army. If they broke through, the Germans would have an unimpeded attack on Moscow. If they held on, all the troops would be killed. The army was destroyed. Defend or retreat, this was another difficult problem before Stalin;
The German high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft Messerschmitt, which had removed its cannons and other weapons, shuttled back and forth over Moscow, clearly seeing all the city's defenses. Moscow's artillery was powerless against this, and the only thing that could match it was However, because the Spitfire carried ammunition, it could not fly as high as the May reconnaissance aircraft. People in Moscow could only watch the Germans showing off their power in the sky above them, as if they were in an uninhabited land, which was very harmful to morale;
Around Moscow, the death-like screams of Stuka bombers are continuous, and the explosions are like thunder in the sky, reaching the ears from time to time, making people restless day and night;
Guderian's tanks were rumbling forward, sweeping away fallen leaves like the autumn wind along the way, destroying the Soviet anti-tank positions one by one. Before long, the German tank group would encircle Moscow;
German heavy artillery also quickly followed up under the protection of tanks, and would soon reach the Kremlin. Thinking of this, Stalin's heart felt as uncomfortable as burning.
Stalin asked General Gromagin: "Has Comrade Zhukov arrived?"
General Gromagin had a pipe in his mouth: "If Comrade Zhukov lands, the airport will call immediately. Just ten minutes ago, Comrade Zhukov's bomber entered the vicinity of Mount Elbrus, and the fighter jets we sent have already Protect them." Gromagin said, looking at his watch, "If everything goes well, his bombers will land at the Moscow airport soon."
Stalin nodded and smoked his pipe fiercely, exhaling strings of white smoke.
