Chapter 1539： Kalinin falls

A ton of bombs fell from the sky with great speed and fierceness.

"Boom!" The bomb hit the roof of the building. In an instant, the entire building trembles violently. The force of the impact is so huge that the concrete prefabricated floor slab was directly pierced.

Several people on the roof were hit by the flying concrete fragments and fell screaming. A soldier was hit by the fragments and stepped back two steps. As a result, he stepped on the air and fell directly from the roof. Screamed in midair.

The bomb hit the top floor from the top of the building, and continued to smash through the floor. On the floor below, the delay fuze detonated.

"Boom!" The explosion is extremely loud. In a one-ton bomb, there are hundreds of kilograms of high explosives. This one can burst a giant battleship, and now, in the huge explosion, this The top of the building was shattered in an instant.

Just like the blasting when the building was demolished, the upper floors collapsed in an explosion, and countless fragments were lifted up into the air, and then fell down to hundreds of meters away.

The German soldiers surrounded outside all hid in the armored vehicles, looking at the scene in front, and discussing.

It's too powerful.

However, one building was not enough. Just after the explosion on this side, the second HS129 attack aircraft entered a dive state.

When the bombs of the third attack plane had exploded, the entire building had disappeared, and even a large pit was exploded on the ground, and fragments of concrete filled the surrounding area.

There is no more living inside.

Those who have not been bombed to death will also be smashed to death, and those who have not been smashed to death will also be shaken to death. This is the end if they do not surrender to Germany!

Without any resistance, Germany will not spend its precious soldiers here in vain. Dealing with stubborn guys, it will crush it with absolute strength!

Now it's just calling the bombers. It will be easier when other new German weapons, such as individual air incendiary bombs, are installed in the future.

With the bombing of the Kalinin Headquarters, even if the Kalinin battle came to an end, the German army had knocked on the north gate of Moscow.

"Comrade Stalin, Kalinin has fallen." In the basement of the Kremlin, Stalin's face became more gloomy as he listened to the words of his men.

Kalinin, the northern gate of Moscow, has now fallen into the hands of the Germans, who can drive straight in and rush to Moscow.

Come on, Moscow is waiting for the German army, if they dare to come, they will be hit head-on!

"We must strengthen the defense, deploy a tight line of defense in Kling, and wait for the Germans to attack." Zhukov said.

As Zhukov returned to Moscow, he continued to gain the trust of Stalin, and because of the correctness of his foresight, Zhukov had a great say.

He is strategizing and directing the defense of Moscow.

They don't have more troops and can only sit back and watch Kalinin's fall. At the same time, this is in line with Zhukov's thinking, layered defense, constantly consuming the strength of the Germans, and finally fought a difficult offensive and defensive battle with the Germans under Moscow.

They have no extra army to send to Kalinin. In their plan, all the cities on the periphery will eventually be lost. The army sent there will be doomed.

"At the last moment, the Kalinin front did not surrender. They fought to the last moment." Stalin said: "They are all good. The commander of the Kalinin front, Konev, the chief of staff Kurasov and others, all Give them the title of Hero of the Soviet Union."

In the Soviets, this is the most glorious title, even if it is a high-level commander, it may not be obtained. Now, Stalin has awarded these titles to these martyrs, commending them for their bravery and tenacity in this battle and regard death as home. And called on the whole army to learn from them.

"This time the failure of the Kalinin Military Region, the lack of air support is a big reason." Zhukov continued to analyze: "We have been able to see that if there is no air power, our ground forces will be very passive. Now, we must Ideas to increase our air power."

The situation is quite unfavorable for the Soviets. They still have enough tanks and planes, but they lack fuel! Several actions by the Germans caused the Soviets to suffer from a shortage of fuel.

It was originally pinned on the United States, but the sea passage has been temporarily blocked, and Moscow is at its most dangerous time.

"The Gromov Flight Test Institute is using alcohol instead of aviation gasoline for our fighter jets. I don't know how the experiment is going." An Air Force personnel said.

The Soviets will not compromise. The Soviets must continue to fight. Now that there is a lack of fuel, it is an idea to find other ways, such as using alcohol instead of gasoline.

However, this thing is not easy to operate.

km south of Moscow, near the Moscow River, a small city, Stakhanovo.

This city is very young. It was established in 1935. The name of the city is to commemorate the famous miner Alexei Stakhanov. If only this is mentioned, few people know it. In later generations, it was famous, but it changed its name.

Zhukovsky, in memory of the Soviet aerodynamics and fluid dynamics pioneer Nikolai Zhukovsky, the city was renamed in 1947 and became the center of the Soviet aviation industry.

There are three institutions of higher learning located here, the Gromov Flight Research Institute, the Central Institute of Aerodynamics and the Cyprus International School of Management. It is the "Technology City" and "Aviation Industry Center" of the Soviets.

Among them, the Gromov Flight Test Academy was born on the eve of the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War. At the beginning of this year, the college was established under the orders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the People’s Committee of the Soviet Union.

There has been a unified process for the design of aircraft, of which flight test is the most important, and test flight is not suitable for various design bureaus, and it is better to be in a unified professional place. This is the original purpose of the Flight Test Academy, for prosperity The developing Soviet aviation industry developed and tested new types of aircraft, and trained sufficient senior flight personnel.

Hero of the Soviet Union, legendary test pilot, and Lieutenant General of the Air Force Mikhail Mikhailovich Gromov was appointed as the first dean of the Flight Test Academy.

However, as soon as the academy was established, the Soviets faced German invasion. Therefore, almost immediately after the establishment of the Test Flight Institute, most of the experts and equipment had to be transferred to Kazan and Siberia east of the Urals. The test field of the academy became the residence of the Soviet 45th long-range aviation division.

And now, in the test flight field, the latest flight test project is still going on, using alcohol instead of gasoline.
