At Zhukov's suggestion, Moscow will abandon Belarus and build a deep defense in the area after Minsk to Moscow to resist the continued invasion of the Germans.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of troops left in Belarus were in danger. When this news spread, the shock to the entire Soviet was quite huge.

So, there must be another thing to inspire the Soviets.

"Comrade Stalin, the Naval Air Force has made a complete bombing plan for Berlin, the German capital. Please check it out." Kuznetsov said to Stalin with a report.

This bombing mission was formulated by Naval Air Lieutenant General Simon Zafaronov. It uses all the Baltic Fleet Naval Air Force bombers to take off from the airport on Ezeli Island, the closest to Berlin, among the airports to which Naval Air Force belongs.

"The bombing of Berlin is not only the Soviet Navy Air Force, but our air force will also participate in this operation." Stalin looked at the report and said to Kuznetsov.

Since the base belongs to the navy, Kuznetsov planned to use the navy's db-3 to bomb. Now, Stalin is of course not satisfied that the navy is just participating in the bombing, and the air force also needs to participate in it.

After all, from the beginning of the war to the present, the Soviet air force had no outstanding points. Even on the first day of the war, they were beaten to no room for counterattack, which made the Soviet air force unable to raise its head. It had to take a thorough action to encourage the Soviet to the greatest extent.

"However, this action is quite dangerous, and I suggest that collective decisions be made and individual responsibility."

The decision was made by the superiors, but it was voluntary to participate or not. Stalin meant this. It seemed to be very democratic. In fact, of course it was not the case. Whoever dared not participate? Whoever ordered had to go, and he had to be more positive, otherwise, there would definitely be no good results.

Stalin was quite looking forward to this bombing. He valued the political significance of the bombing. At the same time, he also made some suggestions: "Gather the forces of our air force, form an 81st long-range bomber, and use all the power we have at hand to complete the mission of bombing Berlin."

The Air Force Commissioner scratched his head and said that the Air Force did have strategic bombers, the Pet-8. When the Pet-8 first appeared at the Moscow parade, it completely shocked the West. This four-engine large bomber is simply the embodiment of power and evil.

However, only the Air Force knows that this kind of aircraft is quite unreliable and has constant failures, especially the various problems caused by diesel engines are emerging one after another. The military parade mission, which was completed by manual oil pumping, did not improve much after improvement after improvement.

But now, since Stalin has said that there is absolutely no way out, and this matter must be fast, the Soviets' confidence is constantly being hit, and they must use a victory to encourage the people.

This is a political task.

Ezeli Island.

Since the Germans turned around during the attack and entered the Soviet Union directly in Latvia, Estonia in the north is temporarily safe.

This security will not last long. As long as the Germans free up their hands, the fall of Estonia will be inevitable.

On the coastal islands of Estonia, you can even see German warships on the waterway. After defeating the Baltic Fleet, the German Navy could travel freely in this area. They did not take the naval aviation force of the Red Flag Baltic Fleet seriously.

Standing on the island and looking at the sea in the distance, Colonel Yejini Puribrazenski, the commander of the First Torpedo Bomber Regiment of the Navy Aviation Force, couldn't help but clench his fists.

Germans, let you taste the feeling of being bombed! If it weren't for a special mission, he really wanted to take off from here with his torpedo bomber and sank several German warships.

But he could not. Until now, this place was safe and did not attract the attention of the Germans. However, as long as he took off from here, it would definitely attract the attention of the Germans. In this way, the airport here would definitely be completely bombed and their mission to attack Berlin would be ruined.

He turned his head back. This was a soil-like runway, which was no different from the base during World War I. Such a runway was completely out of date. New aircraft could not take off and land at all, so it did not attract the attention of the Germans.

Now, in the shutdown area on the side of the runway, one bomber after another is covered with thatch. After sunset, they will take off in their own bombers!

There are not many aircraft that can fly to Berlin, there are only three types, namely: il-4 (db-3f), yer-2 and pe-8.

Among them, only the Pet-8 is considered a heavy bomber with sufficient bomb load and range. However, in order to meet the needs of long-distance flight, this type of bomber uses a diesel engine.

Yes, it can only be a diesel engine, because diesel engines are quite fuel-efficient and when the range cannot meet the requirements, they can only think of this special method.

But no one is assured of this diesel engine.

Footsteps came from behind, and Ye Jinni turned his head back and saw Major General Mikhail Vdupyanov, the commander of the 81st long-range bomber who had just formed.

At this time, in this base, in addition to the Navy Aviation, there were also Air Force personnel. In order to complete this mission, a Pé-8 Squadron and Yer-2 Squadron of the Air Force also came here secretly.

Thinking of the bumps during landing, Major General Mikhail was still scared. It was too difficult to land on such an ordinary earthy runway. The pilots under him had at least 200 hours of flight experience, but they were still difficult to control, and the damn engine...

"The mission has been issued and we will take off tonight." Major General Mikhail said: "Col. Yejini, the Navy's plane takes off first, and we will take off later."

Ye Jinni nodded gratefully: "We will remember the support given to us by the Air Force brothers, and we must throw the bomb over Berlin."

Of course, the order of takeoffs is of course very particular. After all, the bombing aircraft is sudden, and then the aircraft entering will be intercepted by the opponent's anti-aircraft guns.

In addition to taking care of the navy, it is because the Air Force's Pel-8 bomber is heavy after all, and there will be a certain amount of fuel left. If appropriate, after finishing the bombing mission, they do not want to land on this earthy runway. They have to return to Petersburg directly.
Chapter completed!
