The first pei-8 bomber just took off from the airport and fell less than one kilometer high. The sound from the radio silenced the personnel on other planes.

On the second pei-8 bomber behind, Captain Alexander taguning broke the silence: "aircraft 2 requests to take off."

At this time, the place where the first bomber fell has ignited a fire. Although it is a diesel engine, it does not mean that it does not burn. After falling, the heat generated by the impact is enough to burn the aircraft. Even if it does not burn and falls, there is no possibility of survival.

This is war. This is the mission of a soldier. Even if he dies, he must complete the task.

"Take off immediately."

An order came from the headset. He pushed the accelerator lever and relaxed the brake. The pei-8 bomber skidded on the runway, then pulled it up and rushed into the dark night sky.

One after another, it seemed that the crash of the bomber in front was for them to practice. There was no accident in the bombing in the back. Eleven pei-8 bombers took off normally.

After the pei-8 bomber took off, it was the third echelon.

Compared with the pei-8 Bomber Squadron, the take-off of the yer-2 fleet of the first squadron of the 420 bomber regiment behind was definitely a terrible disaster.

When Mussolini began to prosper in Italy, all parties in Italy were hit. After that, Roberto? L? Batini had to leave Italy and came to the Soviet Union.

As an excellent aircraft designer, he has built an all metal single wing twin engine stand-7 with excellent performance.

This kind of aircraft was originally designed as an airliner, but its strong bomb load makes it a good embryo to become a bomber.

Therefore, the improvement of this aircraft is carried out rapidly. It is designed by yemorayev. The wing of tal-7 is almost intact. The semi hard shell cabin is greatly modified, the magazine is added, the cockpit is opened to the left, and the nose is equipped with glass for the observation and operation of the bomber. In order to improve the turret range, the single vertical tail of tal-7 is changed to double vertical tail and tilted outward by 5 degrees.

The first flight of this aircraft was successful last year, and then it was mass produced and renamed yer-2.

From this point of view, this kind of aircraft should be quite mature. Unfortunately, the Soviet engine technology has always failed. This improved bomber still faces the problem of engine.

1100 horsepower krimov m-105r twelve cylinder V-type liquid cooled engine. Compared with the take-off weight of the aircraft, the power of this engine is not large enough. At the same time, what is more boring is that it is a low altitude engine.

To put it more simply, it is because there is no suitable supercharger. When the height increases, the power of the engine drops sharply due to insufficient air intake, so it can't run normally at all.

This kind of aircraft is very sensitive to climate conditions, so it must face the enemy's air defense fire and fighter interception at low altitude.

At the same time, the huge bomb load of the aircraft increases the load on the control surface, so that the longitudinal and transverse stability are not very good. The m-105 engine with insufficient power significantly prolongs the takeoff and taxiing distance.

Now, on the first bomber, Lieutenant Alexander molodsky began a difficult take-off.

The engines on both sides roared. He pushed the operating lever, and the bomber began to slide forward. Because there were too many bombs, he had to adjust the power of the throttle to the maximum.

The second fire flashed past his plane, and then the third fire.

Just after the third fire had passed, his plane still didn't pull up.

At the end of the soil runway, he pulled his lever hard. Finally, the landing gear of the aircraft left the ground. However, just two meters high, the aircraft fell down again!

Under the heavy impact, the whole landing gear broke, the plane tilted to one side, the wings crossed the ground, and there were sparks.

The Ye-2 bomber crashed just after taking off.

Almost like the pei-8 bomber just now, there was an accident when it took off, but the aircraft behind it will not stop.

They kept their mission in mind.

Fight bravely for the Soviet!

The second Ye-2 bomber also began to take off, but it only skidded out more than 100 meters and stopped.

The plane had a mechanical failure and could not continue to take off.

Then, inexplicably, something went wrong with the third one.

In the end, only three Ye-2 bombers successfully flew into the dark night sky, which was a shame to the Soviet bomber forces.

Moreover, these three of them appeared in front of everyone for the last time.

Lieutenant Vladimir malinin, Lieutenant kubico, Captain Stepanov and the captain of the three Ye-2 bombers joined the final sequence of bombing Berlin, waiting for their unknown fate.

The night sky is very dark.

At this time, the DB-3 bomber, which took off in front, has flown for nearly an hour. For them, such a slow journey still takes three hours to reach Berlin. When returning, it only takes three hours because it is empty and downwind.

Of course, if they can come back.

Colonel yegini puzhblaczensky looked out. It was dark everywhere. The Germans had blackouts near the front line, not to mention that now they were over the Baltic Sea.

Because their bombers have limited range, they can only fly in a straight line. At the same time, they have to fly at high altitude to save fuel.

Yegini knows that the Germans have advanced reconnaissance radar and can find aircraft tens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers away. Fortunately, they are far enough from the coastline. The radars deployed on the coast should not search them. When they enter the land from Poland to Berlin, they must turn to low altitude.

They guessed well. Indeed, the radar technology in this era is still not perfect. For example, the main German fugm 39 / 62 Wurzburg "Wurzburg" short-range land-based warning radar. The effective detection range is 170km, the ranging accuracy is 100m, and the angle measurement accuracy is 0.2 degrees.

Another example is the Fumo 51 Mammut long-range land-based warning radar. The effective detection range is 300km, the ranging accuracy is 300m, and the angle measurement accuracy is 0.5 degrees.

When these radars are deployed on the Polish coastline, they can find the aircraft in the Baltic Sea from a long distance. In fact, they will be found if they fly one or two hundred kilometers forward.

At the same time, they do not know that at this time, below them, there is a German Goethe class aircraft carrier.
