In the western sky, a lonely plane came. In the sunrise, the whole plane turned red, so that the red five stars under its wings could not appear at all.

Aranov worked hard to shake the high and low planes of his 85mm antiaircraft gun and listened to the command of the antiaircraft gun squad leader.

It takes several people to operate an anti-aircraft gun well. Until now, they have no results. Just yesterday, they fired less than ten shells into the air, and the enemy's Stuka bombers swooped down and bombed their anti-aircraft gun positions. Now there is a smell of blood on the high and low planes, which was left by the previous gunner.

Aranov's veins burst on his two arms and soon shook the anti-aircraft gun in place. At this time, the squad leader has issued a firing order: "five consecutive shots, release!"

"Boom, boom!" The 85mm antiaircraft gun emits a black smoke from the muzzle. Each time one is fired, the whole gun body sits back, making the Gunners on the gun body feel like they are on a ship.

In the violent tremor, 85 mm shells flew to the enemy plane in the sky.

In the past, German bombers were quite vigilant. As long as their own side opened fire, the other side could find it and quickly avoid it. This time, I don't know why, the other side didn't have any defense and was still flying a straight route, which was a target.

"Boom!" An 85 mm anti-aircraft artillery shell had a close contact with the enemy plane. In an instant, half of the wing of the enemy plane was knocked off and rolled down.

At this time, there were screams everywhere on the bomber.

"What's going on? Have the Germans occupied Estonia? "

"Oh, jump!"

Everyone on the tumbling bomber was messy. They wanted to grab the umbrella bag, open the cabin door and jump down. However, their bodies kept tumbling with the bomber and had no chance at all.

The bomber tumbled down and hit the ground a few kilometers away from the anti-aircraft gun position, setting off a raging fire.

"Go and have a look!" Aranov, who was very excited, got on his commuter bike and ran quickly to the place where the bomber fell. He stopped just before he got there.

The truncated wing, right in front of him, was painted with the sign of red five stars.

……

Kuznetsov stayed up all night.

Bombing Berlin is a task of far-reaching political significance, which will inspire the Soviet people's confidence in victory and become a great turning point for the Soviet. Kuznetsov has no doubt about it.

However, the task did not go smoothly.

When taking off, because of the runway problem and aircraft mechanical failure, some aircraft did not take off, and even caused some sacrifices. Even so, the remaining aircraft took off without hesitation.

As long as there is such a fighting spirit, the Soviet will not perish.

Kuznetsov is proud of those who are not afraid of sacrifice and worried about the rest. Now, the time to return has passed, and no good news has come.

"Marshal, good news, there is news at last." Just as he was waiting anxiously, lieutenant general zafaronov ran in: "we have a pe-8 bomber, which had to land on a river bed because of fuel depletion, and the pilots are returning to the base."

Because of engine failure, Lieutenant Petri's bomber did not enter German airspace. He casually found a target, dropped a bomb and successfully returned. They just lost their way and didn't find a return base. Finally, they ran out of fuel and had to make a forced landing.

Fortunately, the location of their forced landing is near Petersburg and within the Soviet control line. They are trying to return to the air base in Petersburg.

"Did they successfully bomb Berlin?" Asked Kuznetsov.

"No, their plane engine failed and only bombed a German bridge." Lieutenant general zafaronov said.

What's the use of that! Kuznetsov's excitement was cooled by a ladle of cold water.

"Marshal, comrade Stalin, please go." Just then, Kuznetsov received news from the Kremlin.

When Kuznetsov entered the Kremlin, he saw everyone's face was not very good.

"How's our bombing going?" Stalin asked Kuznetsov.

"Now we are still waiting for news. Only one pei-8 successfully returned, but it didn't blow up to Berlin." Kuznetsov said.

"It seems that our news is not as good as German broadcasting!" Stalin sighed.

Germany's initial attack was quite fierce, and the establishment of many troops was broken up, especially the Middle Route Army and the current army of the western special military region. Stalin could not grasp his whereabouts at all. Many times, Stalin was determined by listening to the German radio. For example, how many Soviet troops the Germans eliminated and where the German army attacked.

As a military leader, it is absolutely ironic that he should know the whereabouts of his troops from the enemy's radio.

"Most of the German broadcasts are fake." Khrushchev said: "no news is good news. Maybe our other planes are also lost, or run out of fuel. Wait, there will always be good news."

This plan was put forward by Khrushchev, although it was not specifically implemented by him. If he encounters complete failure, he will also be put in the cold palace.

The German radio has produced several reports related to the bombing.

For example, last night, the German coast defense high artillery shot down some invading bombers, and then, for example, the German night fighter force shot down a number of bombers.

However, the Germans did not say how much. It is acceptable that our bombers were intercepted by the other side. Now we mainly look at how many bombers are left to bomb Berlin.

Even if only one plane bombed Berlin, it would be a success, and the Soviet could make a big fuss about it.

"Good news, good news." At this time, Golikov, who was in charge of intelligence work, hurried in and said, "our intelligence personnel in Berlin risked their lives to send out news. In the early morning of this morning, Berlin suddenly sounded the air defense alarm and imposed blackout."

Berlin's response was obviously the arrival of Soviet bombers. It seems that bomber troops still flew to Berlin.

"What happened? What was the result? " Stalin asked excitedly, "did they blow up Berlin? Have you bombed the capital of yuan? "

Golikov shook his head: "Berlin's anti-aircraft guns shot down two of our bombers. Only one successfully dropped the bomb, but the bomb deviated from the target and hit the suburbs of Berlin."

"Only three bombers arrived in Berlin?" Kuznetsov asked, nearly thirty bombers took off, and only one tenth of them arrived? This ratio is too low.

"Did the last one fly back?" Khrushchev was also very anxious. When he bombed the suburbs, it was also bombed. Moreover, in his own propaganda, he certainly would not say that he bombed the suburbs, but that he bombed Berlin. His own goal was achieved.

Those pilots who fly back will certainly be treated like heroes. The Soviets were proud of them.

Of course, he didn't fly back. At this time, the news that he mistakenly hit his own bomber in Estonia hasn't come up yet.

Stalin put down his cigarette pot: "now, we can send the news of victory to the whole country. Last night, in the battle of our brave and fearless pilots, they successfully bombed Berlin. Let the whole country cheer for this news!"

In any case, the Soviet Union needed the good news of victory, which was inspiring.
