On the morning of May 7, before dawn, German military was already busy at various airports on the eastern route. Whether it is a field airport or a large airport, everything is brightly lit.
Ground crews are refueling and attaching ammunition to the aircraft in preparation for takeoff.
An H-21 heavy-duty Bomber is loading ammunition with the help of ground crew. The ammunition truck transports the entire load of bombs to the side of the aircraft, and the crane lifts the bombs one by one into the aircraft.
The H-21 heavy-duty Bomber can carry up to 8 tons of ammunition. The Aerial Bomb, which weighs one hundred kilograms, can carry eighty pieces. The H-21 heavy-duty Bomber of the four strategic aviation groups alone can carry more than 7,000 tons of bombs and drop them into the Moscow city. Plus H-11 medium Bomber, Dive Bomber and ground-attack Attacker, etc. It is enough to drop more than 10,000 tons of bombs on Moscow at one time.
Even though Moscow's urban area is not small, it has been bombed repeatedly. In one week, it would be enough to blow Moscow into ruins.
After Russian Air Force had suffered heavy losses in a series of air battles and could no longer pose a threat to German Air Force, German Air Force fighter planes also carried bombs in this operation. The FW-190 fighter jet, which can carry a weight of one hundred kilograms Aerial Bomb under the wings, will also participate in the bombing. Of course, in order to carry out precise strikes against important Russian targets in Moscow city, some FW-190 fighter jets are hoisted with Rocket Pod, which can directly pour rockets at the Russian air defense positions in Moscow city.
Faced with German Air Force's large-scale bombing, the only way for the Russia defenders may be to use air defense positions to fight back. In order to prevent our own Bomber from suffering greater losses, suppressing or even destroying the Russian air defense positions is an important task that cannot be delayed. These tasks often need to be completed by German fighter plane units or Dive Bomber troops.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, it was getting brighter. The huge fleet of German Air Force aircraft gradually began to take off from the airport.
The heavy-duty Bomber, carrying a large number of bombs, rolled on the runway, then gradually pulled up and flew into the sky.
More Bomber and fighter jets also flew into the sky. For a time, the entire sky west of Moscow was almost covered by the huge fleet of German military. The huge fleet of aircraft was connected together, as if even the sun was blocked.
Russian Air Force conducted an air search for Radar and found a huge fleet of aircraft and immediately issued an alarm.
Although German Air Force has basically given up the airspace west of Moscow. The remaining fighters have also moved to the airport east of Moscow. However, in order to provide early warning to Moscow, Russian Air Force secretly deployed two air-to-air search engines for Radar in Moscow city.
"Woo! Woo!"
The shrill air-raid sirens sounded in the Moscow city. Countless Russians raised their heads and looked at the sky blankly. German Air Force had never bombed Moscow during the previous bombings. So much so that it was the first time for Russians living here to face such a situation, so that they were a little confused and didn't know what to do.
"Quick, get into the air-raid shelter! The Germany people are going to bomb Moscow."
"Go to the nearest air raid shelter and take shelter!"
When building Moscow's defense system, air raid shelters have undoubtedly become a very important defense measure. In Moscow city, a large number of air raid shelters have been dug. However, it is very difficult to say whether these air raid shelters can withstand the large-scale bombing of German Air Force. At least, for these Russians, it is better to have an air-raid shelter to hide than to be exposed. More or less, it can be considered a psychological comfort. As for whether German Air Force can escape the bombing, perhaps only God knows.
"Comrade Joseph, Germany people have dispatched a large number of planes, coming towards Moscow. Please go to the basement immediately." The secretary reported to Joseph with a panicked look.
Joseph seemed very determined. He took his pipe and looked out the window. "The Germany people's attack has finally begun. I thought they would wait for a while before attacking Moscow. However, that's fine. Let the Germany people know that we will never compromise. We will fight them to the end."
"Call Comrade Zhukov and ask Moscow's troops to prepare for battle. This time, we must give the Germany people a head-on blow!" Joseph ordered.
"Yes, Comrade Joseph."
After giving these instructions, Joseph, accompanied by his secretary, went to the basement to take shelter.
Moscow Garrison Command, General Zhukov have ordered all air defense positions to be ready for combat. But even so, General Zhukov's face looked very solemn.
"How much anti-aircraft firepower have we assembled at Moscow?" General Zhukov asked.
"Comrade Zhukov, we have prepared two thousand doors of Anti-aircraft Gun in Moscow, including two hundred doors of 85mm Anti-aircraft Gun, and the others are 40mm Anti-aircraft Gun and 20mm Anti-aircraft Gun. In addition, there are a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns. These anti-aircraft firepower are distributed in multiple positions in Moscow. If German Air Force dares to come, we will attack them head-on," the air defense force general reported.
But even after hearing that Moscow had so much anti-aircraft firepower, General Zhukov was not relieved. He knew that with German Air Force's powerful strength, no matter how much anti-aircraft firepower was gathered, it would not be able to truly stop the Germany people.
"What about the air force? Can our air force participate in the war?" Zhukov asked.
There is no doubt that if the Air Force can participate in the war, it will not be the opponent of the Germany people. But at least it can interfere with the bombing of Germany people and reduce the pressure on Moscow.
Although the performance of Russian Air Force's fighter jets is far inferior to that of German Air Force fighter planes. But those fighter jets can at least pose a fatal threat to German Air Force's Bomber.
"Comrade Zhukov, our air force does not have many fighter planes left now. In this bombing by Germany people, the air force may not participate in the war." A general said.
"Hmph! A bunch of trash!" General Zhukov couldn't help but curse.
Russian Air Force suffered heavy losses in the large-scale air battle with German Air Force. Now, there aren't many planes left. The production of Yak-1 fighter jets could not be increased, but Americans assisted a batch of P-40 fighter jets. But because too many pilots were lost, especially the elite pilots, almost all were lost. Even if those rookie pilots went to the battlefield, they would only add results to German Air Force. Therefore, Russian Air Force is now conserving its strength.
