In history, the Soviet air force and Navy bombed separately. First, the Navy bombed for the first time, and then the air force bombed several times. Now, in order to achieve good results and political propaganda, the bombers of the Navy and air force assembled on ezelli Island, Estonia. They will attack the capital of that evil country, Carry out a great feat and throw the bomb over Berlin!

Yegini sat in his cockpit. The DB-3 bomber used by the navy is a double engine medium bomber developed by the Ilyushin Design Bureau in 1936. The main structure is the steel tube frame skin fuselage popular in the 1930s.

This kind of aircraft was widely equipped in the Soviet army. A total of 1528 aircraft were manufactured from 1936 to 1939. In 39 years, vish-3 variable pitch propellers were replaced, and the performance was greatly improved.

This bomber is also the main bomber of naval aviation. Its performance is relatively stable, but its range is seriously insufficient. Like the idea of bombing the B-25 of the United States, they achieved it by reducing the loading and increasing the oil load.

Now, this bomber carries only 750 kg of bombs. You know, even a Stuka can carry a ton of bombs.

Such an order of magnitude bomb is better than nothing, and publicity is of greater significance.

At this time, the fuel tank is added inside the aircraft, and the whole aircraft is still heavy.

In order to avoid being discovered by the Germans, only three bonfires were lit on the side of the soil runway, which were used to indicate the direction at the end and middle of the runway.

Skillfully toggle the switches, and the m-87a engines on both sides were started in a roar. Then yegini pushed the operating lever, released the brake, and the plane skidded onto the soil runway.

Some bumps, he gently increased the throttle, and the engines on both sides roared. When he reached the middle of the runway, 950 horsepower broke out. The plane continued to accelerate. When he saw the fire at the end, he pulled the operating lever, and the bomber flew into the sky easily.

Take off on a dirt runway and be gentle.

This medium-sized bomber has only three crew members. The pilot and bomber sitting in front has entered the working state from this time. In the dark, he can only guide the aircraft to the correct direction with the help of a simple radio compass, and there must be no loss.

Compared with Germany's advanced navigation equipment, the Soviet Union is much behind, but now among the take-off crew, the pilots are the most experienced people. They believe in their ability.

One by one DB-3 bombers took off from the runway. Behind them, pei-8 bombers are making preparations before taking off. Compared with their counterparts who are used to taking off on the soil runway, the bomber troops of the air force have many difficulties from the beginning.

Pei-8 is a large four engine bomber, which is almost comparable to the German junker-290. It's just on the surface. In fact, the mechanical faults of this aircraft emerge one after another.

Major Constantine yegorov sat in his cabin, and his plane came first.

Now, the DB-3 has taken off for 20 minutes, and their plane is finished. Constantine looks at the firewood pile outside. Several soldiers are adding firewood to it to keep it burning.

Under the fire of firewood, pei-8 began to set off.

"Engine one starts."

"Engine 4 starts."

The four engines are starting in an orderly way. Constantine stares at a large row of instruments in front of him, especially the most important oil pump pressure. Many flights have proved that mechanical failures begin with the oil pressure pump.

The four engines finally started. He pushed open the window on his side and watched the rotation of the propeller against the light of the firewood fire. He released the brake.

"Attention, we are about to take off."

Each pei-8 bomber has 11 crew members. At this time, they are all ready in their respective posts.

This time, they will take great risks. Although it is a night bombing and there are many difficulties, they will never shrink back. This is their glorious mission!

With the engine rumbling, pei-8 bombers began to run on the runway. Compared with the Navy's DB-3 bombers, they accelerated faster. After all, they had to drive full horsepower to take off on such a short runway.

The wheels were constantly bumping on the ground, driving the whole aircraft to tremble. The pei-8 bomber swayed and accelerated from the runway.

At the end of the runway, Constantine pulled the operating lever. At this time, he was still uneasy. What if he couldn't fly? The runway is too short and the speed is not enough.

Fortunately, as he pulled the operating lever, the more than 30 ton pei-8 bomber successfully left the runway, pulled up at the end, spread its wings and flew into the blue sky.

Fortunately, it has flown. Then it climbs to cruising altitude, waits for the rear aircraft, forms a formation and flies to Berlin.

The engine was still roaring, pulling the pei-8 bomber to climb. Suddenly, Constantine saw the instrument in front of him, and the pointer began to shake irregularly.

Oh, shit! Constantinople became nervous in his heart: "mechanic, come on, reduce the fuel supply of the engine!"

The current pei-8 is equipped with the latest ach-30b diesel engine. The performance of this engine is still quite poor. In particular, the fuel flow of the engine has to be corrected by the crew.

This is not the problem of adjusting the throttle. The intake air volume is different at high altitude and low altitude. You have to adjust the fuel intake of the engine according to the intake air volume. This is a detailed job.

Every take-off was specially adjusted by the mechanic. Who would have thought that in the tension, the mechanic forgot.

Constantine shouted loudly and nervously turned his head to look at the engine. Sure enough, the four engines on the left and right sides have begun to spray black smoke. The fuel is sprayed too much and the combustion is incomplete. It's time to shut down next.

Hurry up!

The mechanic reacted and nervously turned the knobs. The two engines on the right finally reduced the black smoke and began to work normally. However, it was too late for the two engines on the left.

The propeller stopped rotating. Under the power of the right side, the plane immediately began to yaw to the left. Constantine pushed his lever to the right, but it was useless.

The plane made a half turn to the left, and then fell down like a big stone.
