Hitler was sitting in his wolf's den, his face so sullen that it could kill, listening to the Soviet commentator on the radio explaining the live military parade:
"Look, a parade of heroic military school cadets, holding steel guns in their hands, passed by Lenin's tomb. They were youthful and full of passion. They paid the highest respect to Comrade Stalin with their eyes..."
"Then there was a phalanx of motorized infantry wearing snow camouflage uniforms, majestic and mighty. The soldiers sitting on the vehicles held steel guns in their hands and saluted Comrade Stalin.
Look, our great leader Comrade Stalin waves to the soldiers of the motorcycle formation..."
"Then, amidst the solemn music, a phalanx of sailors wearing dark blue woolen coats walked towards the rostrum with majestic steps. This maritime force was well-trained and was able to fight Hitler's submarine and escape... …”
“The next thing is a heavily armed detachment of Moscow’s armed workers, coming towards us…
The Iron Lion, the tank phalanx, is rumbling towards us..."
Listening to the impassioned voice of the Soviet commentator, Hitler stood up suddenly, the mustache on his lips trembling constantly, and a bunch of hair hanging between his eyebrows. He was furious to the extreme, waving his signature fist: "Why is red?" There was no roar of Stuka in the sky above the field..."
Several generals and marshals stood on both sides, not daring to breathe...
At the same time, Goering, who was sitting in the warm train listening to the radio, frowned and his face became increasingly ugly. From the tone of the Soviet broadcaster, he could tell that the military parade was coming to an end, and his fighter-bomber unit had arrived. The sky above Stalin's head has not yet been found.
Goering knew that the Führer must also be listening to the radio at this time.
While Hitler and Goering were angry that the Imperial fighter planes had not found the Red Square, Zhukov and Gromagin, sitting in the Moscow airport dispatch room, had mixed feelings.
The good news is that the military parade in Red Square is about to come to a perfect end, but the worrying thing is that some German fighter planes have penetrated into Moscow, posing a direct threat to the Red Square.
The radar screen was filled with white dots, and the number of fighter planes fighting between the two sides reached a thousand. The scale was the largest since the beginning of the war.
The sound of the propellers and engines of the fighter planes even obscured the sound of distant gunfire.
Prior to this, the local conflicts between the two sides had only involved two to three hundred fighter planes at most.
The heavy snow outside the window has accumulated a thick layer of snow on the ground. The snow seems to be getting heavier, and the wind is biting and whining.
finally,
More and more German fighter-bombers broke through the Soviet Air Force's defense line, entered the sky above the artillery positions, and penetrated into Moscow city.
In this regard, the Soviet fighter planes did not pursue them. After all, most of the enemy planes were entangled by them, and only a few broke through. If they wanted to enter Moscow, they still needed to pass the test of Soviet ground artillery fire.
There are still a steady stream of German fighter planes coming from all directions. Once they turn back to defend, they will be immediately flanked and disrupt the ground artillery defense.
Colonel Zhou said that enemy aircraft that break into the sky above Moscow will be intercepted by the inner circle defense fighters.
No. 214 Spitfire struck three times in a row, followed by several upward jumps, rising to an altitude of five thousand meters and becoming invisible, overlooking the entire scene.
This is Zhou Zhihan's advantage.
While the vision of all other pilots was affected by heavy snow, Zhou Zhihan had an advantage because of his flight helmet. Every incoming enemy plane would be tracked by a transparent helmet, and then he directed the nearest Hurricanes and Spitfires to intercept.
Zhou Zhihan is not as eager to improve his record as the German ace pilots. He is now a coach, a king, dominating the world in the air, overlooking the entire battlefield, strategizing, and controlling the overall situation.
Only when there is a loophole in the defense somewhere, he will quietly pounce down, repair the leak with lightning speed, and then quickly pull up and jump back to the height where he can overlook the overall situation.
From the beginning of the Battle of Songhu in 1937 to the present, he has never deliberately calculated how many enemy planes he shot down. After the war, his record will be,
estimate,
should,
It is unprecedented.
As for whether it is a successor, let history judge it!
Low profile!
As a time traveler, you should keep a low profile!
Although it feels good to be looked up to by others, there are also many historical allusions to the feeling of being humbled at high places.
Those Soviet pilots who were ordered to intercept enemy planes found that as long as they followed the altitude and track instructed by Colonel Zhou to intercept, they could always appear in a favorable shooting position and use a double attack formation to quickly shoot down the enemy plane.
This is amazing!
The first batch of a dozen German fighter-bombers to break through the Soviet artillery fire interception found that as soon as they entered the sky above Moscow, their old enemies hurricanes and spitfires had been waiting above their heads for a long time, and then the red bullets rained in the white snow and the cold The cold wind drowned them.
Seeing German fighter planes exploding in the air or crashing with black smoke, the soldiers and civilians in Moscow were so excited that they ran through the streets and alleys to capture the German pilots.
Since the war, they have never vented their inner hatred against the enemy as freely as they do today.
In the city of Moscow, Spitfire and Hurricane, under the command of Zhou Zhihan, completed the strangulation of the intruding German troops, but the battle outside the city changed due to the appearance of the Bf110 Destroyer.
The Bf110 Destroyer changed the previous tactic of dropping SD2 fragmentation bombs at low altitude to high-altitude bombing.
In the early days of the war, the German Air Force used SD2 fragmentation bombs, which caused a lot of casualties to the Soviet army. The emergence of this bomb greatly damaged the morale of the Soviet army.
But this kind of bomb also has its shortcomings, that is, the fighter plane must be dropped below 50 meters above the ground in order to have a strong killing effect. This has led to many German pilots complaining that the pilot may die in Russia when the fighter plane flies at a low altitude of 50 meters. rifle bullets.
In view of the pilots' resistance to this kind of bomb, the German Research Department began to improve this powerful bomb that could cause a huge psychological blow to the enemy.
The improved SD2 fragmentation bomb can be dropped at an altitude of three thousand meters. Its warhead is weighted and the number of small warheads after explosion is doubled. The lethality is more brutal and the coverage is more comprehensive.
Prior to this, a Bf109 fighter jet could carry 96 butterfly bombs on one pylon. After improvement, the Bf110 Destroyer could carry nearly 600 butterfly bombs on six pylons, dropped from the sky with a density comparable to that of heavy snow. The degree of destruction and terror can be imagined.
Zhou Zhihan saw from the air that when a squadron of Bf110 Destroyers advanced in a horizontal line to drop bombs, the SD2 fragmentation bombs were like hailstones dropped from the sky, falling into the Soviet artillery position, causing a bloody storm.
The power of the SD2 fragmentation bombs is not to make a big crater on the ground, but to spread out on the ground to form a dense explosion without blind spots. Wherever they go, the Soviet artillery fire immediately stops roaring, and the artillery casualties are everywhere. It was a stump of limbs and broken arms, and blood flowed into a river, which was shocking in the white snow.
This air corridor was opened, and German fighter planes poured in from this corridor toward Moscow like a tide.
Major Pisanco led a squadron to fight back to defend, and was soon overwhelmed by Messerschmitt.
The sudden intervention of the SD2 fragmentation bomb caught the Soviet army by surprise.
Zhou Zhihan was also caught off guard. His eyes shrank, he pushed, Spitfire No. 214 dived, and ordered: "Marc Jia Lai led 10 Spitfires with me to plug this big hole. The remaining Spitfires and Hurricanes are in In the defense of the inner circle, everyone must fight to the death, and no matter what the cost, the Bf110 cannot be allowed to get close to the Red Square."
