In September, daybreak is relatively early. Before six o'clock, it was already dark.
In the sky, a large number of planes from German Air Force were flying to the territory of Buru in neat formations. Because there are more than thirty targets to attack, these fleets are also separated.
The fighter jets are located at high altitude, escorting the Dive Bomber below, the ground-based Attacker and the medium-sized Bomber.
"Attention, attention! We have entered the airspace of Buru. All fighter jets, please be alert. Once you find a Buru fighter, shoot it down immediately!" Commander, who led the team, conveyed the order to every pilot through the radio.
"Understood!" the pilots all replied.
"Boss, do you need to be so serious? How can Russians's I-16 or I-15 fighter be our opponent?" A pilot said with a smile, looking very relaxed and not caring about the upcoming battle at all.
Commander smiled, but didn't say anything. Although, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't think Buru's air force could pose any threat to them. However, he did not want to encourage the arrogance of these pilots.
"Shut up, everyone! Although Russians's aircraft are not powerful, they are numerous. Be careful of being Encirclement Offensive. In addition, their ground anti-aircraft firepower is also very powerful. If you are not careful and are shot down, then wait to be hanged by Russians!" Commander said.
The other pilots also laughed. Although, before the battle started, everyone was a little nervous. But between joking and joking, the tension eased somewhat.
After the fleet entered the airspace of Buru, there was no interception. The current Buru is not equipped with Radar. Most of their methods of discovering the enemy relied on observation posts on the ground. It's too early now, so Buru knows nothing about German Air Force's actions.
Mogilev in the east of Belarus is an important defense node of Buru. Outside the city, Buru built an airport. Bolshevik Air Force Most of the fighters deployed at frontline airports are fighter jets. Their tactics are also very clear, which is to focus on defense. Buru knows very well that once a war breaks out, the first thing they have to do is to defend against Germany's attack.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, the ground staff at the airport were already busy. They began to refuel the fighter planes on duty and load ammunition. Every day, fighter planes take off from this airport to patrol the airspace of Buru to guard against cross-border reconnaissance by German aircraft.
Although German Air Force fighter planes has crossed the border many times before and conducted deep reconnaissance in Buru's airspace, Buru's air force has no way to do anything about it. Their fighter planes simply cannot drive away German Air Force fighter planes. In chasing and fighting, they are often suppressed. This also made the pilots of Bolshevik Air Force very desperate for the war that was about to break out. Because they know that once the war breaks out, they will definitely not be German Air Force's opponent.
Some air force officers also requested that more advanced aircraft be equipped as soon as possible in order to fight against the advanced fighters of the Germany people. However, with the technical conditions of Buru and their work efficiency, it is not that easy for the Air Force to achieve its goals. This made Bolshevik Air Force still use the backward I-16 fighter jets and the old I-15 fighter jets as its main force before the war broke out. Now Buru's aircraft manufacturing plant is fully producing I-16 fighter jets.
"Squadron 132, prepare to take off for patrol in 15 minutes!" the order came from the radio.
Several pilots left the table and prepared to go to their respective planes.
"I really don't know when we will be equipped with fighters that can compete with the Germany people's BF-109 fighter jets. I always feel that in front of the Germany people's BF-109 fighter jets, we will become their targets after taking off!" a Buru pilot complained.
"Who knows when those bureaucrats will change our uniforms for us." Another pilot also said.
"Okay, shut up! No matter what plane we are flying, as long as the Germany people dare to violate our airspace, we will have to shoot them down!" said the team leader.
The other pilots couldn't help but curled their lips. They wanted to shoot down German aircraft, but they had to have that ability! Otherwise, they will only become the targets of the Germany people and be shot down by the Germany people.
Suddenly, a shrill siren came from the radio.
The pilots and other officers and soldiers at the airport were all awakened.
"What's going on? Has a war broken out?"
"Is this a drill, or are Germany people really here?"
Many Buru pilots looked at each other, many of them pale. Because they know that if the Germany people really come, their situation will be very bad.
"Attention everyone, Germany has officially declared war on the Empire! From now on, the two countries are at war. Everyone, prepare for battle!" The voice of base Commander came from the loudspeaker.
"Oh my god! Germany people have really declared war on us. What should we do?"
"Are we about to fight the Germany people? Will we be shot down by the Germany people?"
For a moment, the pilots of Bolshevik Air Force seemed to be frightened.
But even so, under the orders of their superiors, these pilots can only obey the orders. Because, Buru, the punishment for those who disobey orders is very severe. At the very least, he would be sent to Siberia to dig potatoes; at the most serious end, he would even be shot directly!
The entire airport became busy. The pilots who were woken up began to have breakfast and solve physical problems. They knew that they might have to fight next.
Ground crews were busy refueling and loading ammunition for other aircraft. Although the Germany people have not come yet, they have to prepare in advance.
However, these Bolshevik Air Force officers and soldiers still did not expect that German Air Force's blow was about to fall on them.
"Attention all pilots, we will arrive over the target in ten minutes!" Commander of German Air Force ordered.
"Yes, sir!" the pilots shouted back. They began to check the condition of the aircraft to ensure that the aircraft's performance could be fully utilized in the next battle.
At this time, the Bolshevik Air Force observation post on the ground finally discovered the German Air Force aircraft group flying among the clouds.
They immediately reported the situation to their superiors.
However, by the time it reaches the airport through level-by-level communication, precious time has been wasted.
"The fighter planes will take off immediately, Germany people are coming!" Following Commander's order, the shrill siren sounded again over the airport. And German aircraft group is already close at hand.
