According to later data on the Internet, in the early 20th century, Baku Oilfield was not only the oil field with the largest oil production in the Soviet army, but also the oil field with the highest oil production in the world. Therefore, it became the most important oil base of the Soviet army and was famous all over the world and the "oil city".

After the October Revolution in Russia, large-scale exploration and development were obtained due to the oil development in the Caspian Sea. The city of Baku was completely renewed and became a modern city with tall buildings and green trees.

Moreover, in 1940, the oil production reached more than 70% of the total oil production of the Soviet army at that time. Therefore, once the Soviet army lost such an important oil base, there would be a shortage of oil in the Soviet army's tanks and aircraft.

Because the oil production of the Baku oil field in 1901 accounted for almost half of the world's oil production, it can be seen how important this oil field is to the Soviet army.

Moreover, Baku is also the most important railway hub and shipping center in the Transcaucasus, where many railway trunk lines in the Caucasus are gathered and passed.

In addition to oil and gas mining, various industries such as machinery manufacturing, metallurgy, mining, machine tools, motors, shipbuilding, and automobile repair are also gradually developing from scratch.

Especially their light industry has developed well.

For this reason, when the first round of the Soviet airborne battle in the Leningrad-Novgorod Battle began, Moder constrained all the Soviet eyes to Leningrad as Chen Yanlong's instructions.

This allowed Keselin to dispatch two aviation troops to fly to the Baku oil field for devastating bombing.

Because in the 45th Order issued by Hitler on July 23, 1942, the combat plan code-named "Smoke Qucao" was implemented, and the Soviet army south of Rostov and southeast of it did not encircle and annihilate, achieving the goal of capturing the North Caucasus.

As for the more than 20 Turkish divisions deployed on the Soviet-Turkey border, they were even more unable to get in touch with each other and invade the Near and Middle East.

The reason is that the Soviet army consumed a lot of the German army's vitality in the defensive battles in the North Caucasus area and successfully resisted the German army's unstoppable attack.

Therefore, in order to avoid a long and arduous war of defensive attrition with the Soviet army again, Chen Yanlong directly dispatched large-scale Il28 bombers and long-range strategic bomber B-52 bombers.

This B-52 long-range strategic bomber is equipped with the first strategic air-to-ground missile of the United States, AGM-28 "Big Hound" cruise missile.

These 4 million tons of huge "Big Hound" cruise missiles are on the PY-1 launcher suspended under the inner wing of the B-52 long-range strategic bomber.

When the German army used 1,800 artillery under the command of Model to carry out a carpet-style counterattack and bombard the Soviet group positions of more than 2,000 artillery groups, they fired 124,000 tons of shells on the first day, bombing the entire outer area of ​​Leningrad into a sea of ​​fire and a blood-red piece, and there was also a thick smell of black smoke and gunpowder.

At the same time, the bomber group of the German 8th Air Force launched a series of bombers, which also launched more than 160,000 incendiary bombs. Heavy incendiary bombs and rockets were violently burning attacks on the Soviet army's positions like a storm.

Under the bombardment of dense incendiary bombs, many trees and Soviet officers and soldiers were burned to death and burned.

Of course, in response to the large-scale incendiary bomb counterattack of the German Air Force, the Soviet army also took the initiative to launch more than 200,000 various aviation bombs to the German garrison positions, and also killed many German officers and soldiers.

Therefore, for a time, the Soviet and German armies fought fiercely in the Leningrad area, but the killings were dim and the casualties increased sharply.

Under such a battle situation, in the rear of the battlefield far away from Leningrad, a group of Il 28 bombers and long-range strategic bomber B-52 bombers took off one after another under the escort of more than 200 Sabre fighters.

Under the well-trained command of logistics personnel, these aircraft are able to take off safely quickly, with sufficient loading and inspection without any loopholes.
