Transmigrated as the Crown Prince
Chapter 636 Bombing
At noon the next day, the Americans' 98th and 99th Bomb Group flew to Latvia.
Because there is no airport in Latvia that can accommodate so many bombers at the same time, the 98th and 99th Bomb Groups can only land at two secret airports respectively.
Colonel Kane, the commander of the 98th Bomb Group who was the last to climb down from the bomber cockpit, saw that there were only about a hundred people around and asked casually. "What about the rest?"
"They all followed the translator back to the dormitory."
Colonel Kane couldn't help but wonder. "Then why don't you go? There are combat missions at night. You should rest and replenish your strength. Do you still want me to teach you about this kind of thing?"
One of the pilots chuckled. "Captain, the one-way distance from Berlin is less than 700 kilometers, and the round trip is only 1,500 kilometers at most. There is no need to rest. Captain, can we go out and experience the customs and customs here?"
Of course, Colonel Kane knew what bad things these guys were holding in their stomachs, and it was their first time coming to the world's first socialist country, and they were full of curiosity about it.
Although he also wanted to go out for a walk, he knew the importance of this mission. "This mission must not be careless. I heard that the 305th Bomb Group, which went to Baku to bomb the oil fields yesterday, was intercepted by German fighter jets and was completely wiped out."
"What?!" Everyone was shocked. "Didn't it mean that the German fighter jets could not reach an altitude of 11,000 meters?"
"Obviously the intelligence department's information is wrong. German fighter jets can climb more than 12,000 meters. That's why we chose night bombing this time. But no one can guarantee that night bombing is safe. Maybe we will encounter German night fighters. Interception, and intelligence knew nothing about the German night fighters.”
Seeing everyone's nervous expressions, Colonel Kane smiled. "Now everyone, please go back and rest, and recuperate your energy. I will ask my superiors for instructions after completing this mission. By then..."
Before he finished speaking, a shrill air defense siren suddenly sounded over the base. Colonel Kane's expression suddenly changed wildly. "Faq!! Is this how these Soviets do their secret security work?!" What else do you mean this is a secret airport that no one knows about? ! Not only did the Germans know the exact location of the airport, but they also timed it so accurately that their bombers pounced on it as soon as they landed. This damn information is obviously leaked! !
"What should I do?" The pilots around him were also panicking. What is this? Before I go to blow up others, I am going to be bombed first.
"So fast!" Colonel Kane looked in the direction of the roar and saw a huge fleet of aircraft flying towards us in the distance. The speed of the fleet was visually estimated to be at least 500 kilometers per hour. Is that a fighter jet or a bomber? !
Looking at the bomber with its engines stalled, Colonel Kane stamped his foot. "Quick! Get into the air raid shelter!!" At this time, don't think about protecting the plane. It's more important to save your life first. These are clearly stipulated in the regulations. If there is danger, save the pilot first.
But the problem is that they have just arrived here and are unfamiliar with the place. How do they know where the air-raid shelter is? Colonel Kane grabbed the Soviet soldier running past and asked loudly. "Where is the air raid shelter here?!"
The Soviet soldier obviously didn't understand English and looked at him blankly.
"Fake! This idiot!" Cursing, Colonel Kane pointed to the fleet of aircraft in the distance and gestured twice above his head to indicate that they needed to avoid it. The Soviet soldier nodded in realization, made a gesture to follow, and ran forward.
"Follow up quickly!"
A large number of people followed the Soviet soldiers and ran to the air defense... artillery position!
The company commander of the anti-aircraft artillery position, who was nervously directing the air defense work, couldn't help but be startled when he saw so many Americans running to the air defense position. "Ivan, why did you bring these American comrades here?" A document was issued from above. These Americans are American friends who have come to fight alongside them to defeat Germany. They are not imperialist lackeys. They must be friendly to others. Although it felt strange, they still obeyed the orders of their superiors unconditionally.
The soldier named Ivan saluted. "Report, these American comrades want to help us fight the Germans, so I brought them here."
"These American comrades are quite enthusiastic! But do they know how to operate our anti-aircraft guns, and we have no shortage of manpower here, so they can't be of much help." Just as the company commander muttered in embarrassment, Colonel Kane was already furious. crazy! "Fake! Is this bastard going to kill us?! We are going into the air-raid shelter, into the air-raid shelter! Why did you bring us here?!"
Seeing Colonel Kane yelling at the approaching German planes, the company commander asked Ivan. "What did he say?"
Ivan didn't know what he was talking about, so he could only guess based on his thoughts. "Are you unhappy that you won't let them help?"
The company commander opened his mouth in shock. Do these American friends hate the Germans so deeply? I'm still unhappy when I'm not allowed to help, and feel like I'm going to beat someone up. "Well, Ivan, you take them to the ammunition depot to move ammunition."
"Yes!" Ivan saluted and waved to Colonel Kane and the others. "follow me."
"Does this guy understand?" Although he was a little doubtful, Colonel Kane didn't care so much and ran after Ivan.
After running for a while, he still didn't see the air raid shelter. Instead, he saw the sign of the ammunition depot. Although it was different from the logo used by the US military, Colonel Kane could still tell that this was an ammunition depot.
"This bastard!" Colonel Kane is going crazy!
But looking at the bombers that were already close at hand, he could only grit his teeth and give an order loudly. "Quick, get into the ammunition depot and take shelter!"
"Captain, this is not good!" They might not be in trouble if they just find a hole to squat outside, but if they hide in this ammunition depot, what if one of the German bombs doesn't have eyes and hits them? All of them had to be packed up and reimbursed.
"..." If possible, Colonel Kane wouldn't want to enter this damn ammunition depot, but those anti-aircraft positions have already started shooting into the sky. If he hesitates, he might actually be hit by a bomb. "There's no time! Are we still looking for air-raid shelters? I hope the Soviets' ammunition depots are strong enough."
In desperation, everyone could only hide in this damn ammunition depot.
What attacked this time was an upgraded and improved Mosquito bomber, Type VIII. The new engine, burning 150 octane fuel, has an emergency boost of +25 psi and a power of over 2,000 horsepower. The altitude maintenance power is over 1,500 horsepower at 4,572 meters and over 1,300 horsepower at 7,010 meters. This VIII model can fly to a maximum altitude of 12,200 meters, and the maximum speed can reach a terrifying 695 kilometers per hour. The weapons are equipped with four 20mm cannons and four 62-caliber machine guns, which can lick the ground in addition to bombing missions.
Relying on speed and altitude, the bomber formation easily flew over the Soviet anti-aircraft artillery positions. On the leading Mosquito fighter, the formation commander issued an order. "Hans, take your team to bomb the hillside 10 kilometers away. Yes, the hillside with a big tree. It seems to be an air raid shelter there. I just saw a lot of people running in."
The remaining Mosquito bombers flew over the airport. In order to make room for these US bombers, the fighter jets and other aircraft in the base were originally pulled into a corner. Now it is impossible to take off for combat.
The German fleet dropped several cluster bombs over the runway. With the successive explosions, dense potholes of various sizes were opened on the runway.
