BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1472: Ruins (ask for a monthly ticket)
And this is just the beginning.
After these H-11 medium bombers finished dropping their bombs, they began to pull up and leave. The H-21 heavy bomber group on standby in the sky began to attack again.
A large number of H-21 heavy bombers descended and began to drop bombs despite the intensive anti-aircraft fire on the ground.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Intensive explosions sounded one after another in downtown Moscow. A large area of the city was destroyed amidst the dense explosions. Many high-rise buildings collapsed, and the fortifications built by the Russian army were also destroyed in the explosion. Even if they hid in the air-raid shelter before the bombing of the Luftwaffe, it was still the bombing of the Luftwaffe and suffered heavy losses. The intensive bombing caused some originally weak air-raid shelters to collapse. Not to mention those troops who did not enter the air-raid shelter and stood firm on the ground.
"Asshole, are the Germans really going to wipe Moscow off the map?" General Zhukov couldn\'t help cursing after learning about the bombing by the Luftwaffe. He knew very well that after the German Air Force adopted such a bombing method, it would cause much damage to Moscow and the troops stationed in Moscow.
"Order our air defense firepower to launch a counterattack! The Germans can no longer be allowed to bomb like this. Otherwise, Moscow will be completely destroyed by them sooner or later!" General Zhukov ordered.
"Yes, Comrade Commander."
It\'s just that once the German ground\'s anti-aircraft firepower fires, it will be attacked by fighter jets and dive bombers of the Luftwaffe, causing more and more losses to their air defense positions. Under such circumstances, the air defense positions in Moscow suffered very serious losses.
Joseph, who was hiding in the basement of the Kremlin, was also frightened by the continuous explosions. The electric lights in the basement kept shaking, and the dust fell even more, as if this place would collapse.
In particular, a brigade of the German Air Force\'s H-21 heavy bombers directly targeted Moscow. Three hundred tons of bombs fell, enough to blow up the entire Kremlin into ruins.
"Damn, what\'s going on? How could the German bombing be so violent?" Joseph couldn\'t believe it.
Soon, Joseph got the report. When he learned that the Luftwaffe had dispatched thousands of bombers to launch the bombing, Joseph\'s face was even more livid. He also thought of the terrible consequences. Under the intensive bombing of the Germans, Moscow may soon be turned into ruins.
The fighters and bombers of the German Air Force, after dropping the bombs, evacuated Moscow and returned to the airport. After refueling and adding ammunition, they will attack again until Moscow is completely destroyed.
After the bombing ended, the Luftwaffe also began to count the results.
During the bombing, the Luftwaffe lost hundreds of aircraft. Both fighters and bombers. They were all shot down by ground anti-aircraft fire during the bombing. However, they also destroyed a large area of Moscow, causing huge losses to the Russian army. From this point of view, the losses of the Luftwaffe are completely within an acceptable range.
The Minister of the German Air Force, Marshal Albert Kesselring, and the Commander of the Strategic Air Force, Marshal Edward Milch, finally breathed a sigh of relief after learning the results of the bombing.
"Command the Air Force, keep up the good work! Within a week, Moscow must be blown into ruins!" Marshal Albert Kesselring issued an order. The infantry of the German army was about 20 kilometers away from downtown Moscow. Therefore, German artillery could not participate in the attack on downtown Moscow. The bombing of Moscow can only be done by the Air Force.
The German Air Force\'s strategic bomber fleet can dispatch two batches a day to bomb Moscow. The tactical air force\'s dive bombers and ground attack aircraft can dispatch four batches.
It can be said that since May 7th, fighter planes of the Luftwaffe have continuously appeared in the sky of Moscow, dropping bombs into the city of Moscow. The buildings in the Moscow city area were blown into ruins with bombs.
At the beginning, the Russian air defense forces in Moscow were still launching a counterattack. However, the German fighter force and dive bomber force targeted the Russian air defense firepower, causing the Russian air defense force to suffer more and more losses.
When the German army\'s large-scale bombing was carried out on the third day, the Russian air defense forces in Moscow were almost completely lost. This made the Russian army in Moscow only able to watch the German Air Force bombing them.
Later, the bombers of the Luftwaffe could fly to Moscow to bomb without even being escorted by fighter jets.
A week passed quickly. When the Luftwaffe\'s strategic bomber fleet stopped bombing Moscow, the whole of Moscow had been turned into ruins. Not even a single intact building could be found in Moscow. The entire city has become ruins. Collapsed buildings are everywhere.
The defensive positions built by the Russian army in the city of Moscow were almost bombed. This made the Russian army have to hurry up and repair those defensive positions.
General Zhukov, Commander of the Moscow Garrison of the Russian Army, accompanied by a group of officers, inspected the city of Moscow. But the devastated scene made his heart very heavy.
General Zhukov and a group of generals of the Russian army once again felt the strength of Germany. The Germans directly used the air force to wipe out Moscow. What a powerful force this is! At least, before this, absolutely no one can think of this.
"Comrade Commander, the troops in the city suffered a lot from the German bombing. Many warehouses storing war materials were also destroyed. In addition, civilian casualties were also very large." A Russian general reported to General Zhukov .
General Zhukov nodded: "No matter what, the Germans are so powerful! We must all defend Moscow!"
