In history, the Soviet bombed Berlin for the first time in World War II, but it didn't play much role. It was far less dense than the daily bombing during the British and American counterattack.

But in this era, Britain had bombed, but the effect was very poor at that time. Before they reached the sky over the target, they were intercepted by terrible German night fighters, with heavy casualties.

Therefore, the British bombing did not carry out much publicity, so that the Soviet Union did not know that Germany's night air defense force had become so powerful.

However, it was not easy for the Soviet Union to bomb Berlin.

Because the distance was too long, and the Soviets lacked such long-range bombers, this task was the responsibility of the naval airmen in the pineapple sea, but in their actual training, they extended from the base in Petersburg to the Pilao where the German warships were stationed.

For the konisburg area and distant targets, it can only take off from the main base of the Baltic Fleet in Tallinn. Now Tallinn is obviously not very safe.

This is definitely an arduous task. Khrushchev just gives ideas and never cares how to achieve it. This realization will still fall on the Soviet aviation soldiers.

Stalin's eyes turned to the face of Navy people's commissar Kuznetsov. He didn't speak, but looked at him with firm eyes.

So Kuznetsov could no longer refuse. He stood up and said, "Comrade Stalin, please rest assured that we will complete this task and throw our bombs into the enemy's heart."

The Baltic Fleet was destroyed, and the Navy should have retaliated. Moreover, Kuznetsov was also one of the most determined personnel. It was under his leadership that the Soviet Navy sent out the breath of death, which made any enemy feel afraid.

"We have to take off from the most western base." Kuznetsov said: "Tallinn is no longer safe, but we still have a small Turkish airport on ezelli island in Tallinn Bay, which is the westernmost territory of the Soviet Union that has not been occupied by the German army. If we want to fly to Berlin, we can only use this base. At the same time, we need to make other improvements. "

Kuznetsov is familiar with the Navy's equipment. Although the Navy's db-3f long-range bomber has a range of 3800 kilometers in theory, it flies out at a constant speed at the maximum altitude and is still empty. In fact, it is almost halved.

If they want to fly to Berlin, they have to reduce the bomb load. They can't waste any fuel. They can fly straight to Berlin without any accidents and any delay. Otherwise, they may not be able to fly back. If the calculation is wrong or bad luck, the sky over Berlin will become the tomb of Soviet pilots.

Soviet Navy pilots can bear this. In order to win, they are fearless. After all, Americans can think of ways to carry bombers with aircraft carriers. Why not the Soviet?

Looking at Stalin nodding with satisfaction, Kuznetsov finally said his worries: "Comrade Stalin, up to now, Germany has not bombed our capital. If we start this, there will be no peace in the future."

Kuznetsov is worried about this.

In history, Germany first started an air raid on Moscow, and the Soviet Union was determined to retaliate. But now, the war is still carried out on the border. Moscow has not sounded an air defense alarm. I don't know what the Germans are hesitating about.

Now, if this precedent is set, the Germans will certainly be unscrupulous. The Soviet bombing of Berlin is at most once or twice. Even if it succeeds, it is mainly of political significance. However, after that, Moscow will be bombed every day. Germany has a strong strategic bombing capability, and even the United States on the other side of the ocean can reach, not to mention Moscow.

Kuznetsov is worried about this.

Stalin nodded: "yes, the war will escalate, but when the Germans fired the first shot at the border, we should be prepared. Everyone present must face the test of death at any time. In order to win, we can do anything."

When Stalin said this, he was deeply moved. The war had begun and the initial progress was not smooth, so that everyone could expect that the next war would be very difficult.

The country has been transformed into a wartime system. Countless personnel have been recruited to form reserve forces in the rear. At the same time, many troops have been transferred to the front line.

For example, Yakov's troops were also transferred to Smolensk. Almost as last time, after a short hesitation, Stalin agreed that his son, who was also an ordinary Soviet soldier, could not engage in special activities.

Stalin was such a man. If necessary, he will take up arms and go to the battlefield by himself.

What's the point of the German counterattack? The Soviet Union now needs the encouragement of a victory. Bombing Berlin is of great political significance and will inspire the hearts of the people all over the country.

Stalin still made the decision, and at this time, an amazing news was transmitted to the base camp through radio waves.

"Comrade Stalin, Minsk fell."

In the early morning of April 5, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Tanks are galloping on the fields of Minsk. Due to the influence of the war, the huge city has now appeared in the night vision instrument.

Carlos opened his turret and revealed half of his body.

The air inside the turret smells bad. Even if there is no war and no smell of gunsmoke, the smell of diesel volatilization is also very uncomfortable. At the same time, three men have stayed in the turret without taking a bath for more than a week. They are sweating every day. They don't have to think about it.

There is Minsk ahead. It is said that the garrison of Minsk has built fortifications outside. Although it is a sneak attack at night, a big war is bound to break out.

Thinking of this, Carlos was full of expectations. After all, he had hardly had a decent fight all the way. He had not really fought a big battle except that he killed the plane with one shot last time and became famous in the whole army.

During the March, they often talked about the tank wars that broke out in southern Ukraine, which made people's blood gush. Some people also talked about the evil spirit of the Soviet Stalin tank. It made karyus quite unconvinced that he had to kill a Stalin tank to let the Soviets know the strength of the German armored forces.

"Trench found ahead." In the moonlight, he had seen it and reminded the driver in front of him.
