Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 637 Stalingrad (1)

After hiding in the ammunition depot, everyone closed the thick iron door with force. "This door looks pretty solid." Colonel Kane patted the iron door. The iron door was more than 20 centimeters thick, which was enough to withstand frontal bombardment from large-caliber artillery shells. It was considered very safe.

"I just don't know how thick the roof is. I hope the Soviets didn't cut corners." Just as everyone was secretly praying that no bomb would fall, Ivan shouted from the front. "American comrades, follow us quickly, the anti-aircraft artillery shells are on the second floor underground."

"What did this bastard say?!" These American pilots hated this stupid Soviet soldier so much that they asked him to take them to the air-raid shelter. Unexpectedly, they were brought to such a ghost place, and they were still chattering there. non-stop.

"It seems like he wants us to follow him?"

"What were you going to do? Visit the ammunition depot?"

After not seeing any movement from these US pilots for a long time, Ivan simply walked up to Colonel Kane and motioned for him to follow.

This aroused Colonel Kane's curiosity. "Let's go and see what he wants to do. Maybe this ammunition depot can be connected to the air raid shelter." Of course, there is no such stupid design in the world that connects the ammunition depot with the air raid shelter. But what if the Soviets are just that big-minded?

Everyone followed Ivan to the second underground floor of the ammunition depot.

"Comrades, these are 37mm anti-aircraft gun shells. Over there are 85mm anti-aircraft gun shells. There is a cart over there. Just load the cart and push it out."

Only after watching Ivan patting the piles of ammunition boxes and pointing at the cart not far away did everyone react. "He seems to want us to be cannonballs?"

"Xie Te, this guy wants to use me as a coolie!"

"Aren't you smart? We flew all the way here to work as coolies for you?"

Some people can't wait to get started. "Captain, do you want to beat this guy up?!"

"Yes, I've long been unhappy with this guy. He's so stupid and looks like he deserves a beating!"

Looking at the people who were eager to try, Colonel Kane was about to say something when he suddenly felt a little dizzy.

He is very familiar with this feeling. High-altitude bombers like the B-17 need to wear oxygen masks. Sometimes this feeling occurs when the oxygen supply device fails, which means there is an extreme lack of oxygen here!

"Quick, get out of here, there's no oxygen here!" Don't these stupid Soviets even have a ventilation system? Aren't they afraid of suffocation when they come in to move ammunition? !

The ammunition depot naturally has a ventilation system, but unfortunately, several napalm bombs dropped by the Germans just covered the vents on the ground. The fire that ignited consumed a large amount of surrounding oxygen, causing the oxygen content in the ammunition depot to drop sharply. decline.

Colonel Kane didn't know this. He only knew that his life would be in danger if he continued to stay here, so he staggered towards the elevator entrance. But as soon as they reached the first floor and stepped out of the elevator, everyone collapsed on the ground helplessly, unable to move forward any further.

"Oh, it's so spectacular!" The German pilots in the sky couldn't help but sigh as they looked at the more than 80 heavy bombers parked neatly on both sides of the runway.

The bomber formation commander ordered. "Don't blow up these planes yet." If these planes are filled with fuel or even bombs, once they explode, there will definitely be thick smoke billowing out, affecting their vision. "First destroy all the surrounding buildings. These American pilots must be hiding in these houses!"

The bomber formation spread out and blew up all the towers, dormitories, canteens, hangars, and factories of the base. After the bombing, they fired back and forth several times with machine guns and machine guns, and finally threw the remaining bombs at the rows of B -17 bomber in the middle.

boom!

A bomb hit a bomber, and the huge explosion flames instantly covered several surrounding bombers. The successive explosions caused billowing black smoke to cover the sky. The German bomber formation quickly climbed up to prevent the engines from inhaling the black smoke and stalling.

"These poor guys." The German pilots sighed as they looked at the airport that had turned into a hell. Wouldn't it be better for these Americans to stay at home and have to go thousands of miles away to die?

Soon, Stalin in the Kremlin received the news.

"Comrade Stalin, just now, German bombers raided Latvia, and the two secret airports where American bombers landed were completely destroyed."

"What?!"

Stalin was shocked.

The previous use of American bombers to bomb the Baku oil fields was indeed a trick on the Americans. If the bombing succeeds, it will relieve his worries, but if it fails, the American planes will be lost. As a result, the Americans lost more than 80 bombers and nearly a thousand crew members at once, and his anger also subsided a little.

And the bombing of Berlin was really hoped that they would be successful. But now he is being bombed before others can be bombed? "what happened?!"

"Shortly after the American bombers landed, the German bombers came over. More than a hundred American B-17 bombers that landed at the two airports were completely lost, and the American pilots also suffered heavy casualties!"

Starling frowned deeply. "How did the Germans know?" Only their senior officials knew about this operation plan. How could the Germans seize the time to carry out the bombing? !

At this time, the North Caucasus Military District Headquarters.

A staff officer rushed into the office of military district commander Kuznetsov. "Comrade Commander, Comrade Commander! Found the German fleet! A large number of German bombers flew over the Caucasus Mountains, more than 200 of them by visual inspection! If their route remains unchanged, they will arrive at Stalingrad!"

"What?!" Commander Kuznetsov almost jumped out of his chair. “The Germans are going to bomb Stalingrad?!”

Stalingrad was originally named Tsaritsyn and was founded in 1589. During the Soviet-Russian Civil War, Stalin led the famous Battle of Tsaritsyn here, defeating the menacing White Cossack Army and consolidating the results of the October Revolution. In commemoration of Stalin's heroic deeds, it was renamed Stalingrad in 1925. After Khrushchev came to power in the original time and space, he changed Stalingrad to Volgograd on the grounds of opposing the cult of personality.

This is a city named after a great leader. Even if a bomb falls, it is a blasphemy against the leader, and Commander Kuznetsov will not get any good results.

"Quick! Send out all the fighter planes that can take off to intercept, and gather all nearby air defense forces to the outskirts of Stalingrad! Be sure to intercept the German fleet outside the city."

The straight-line distance from the Greater Caucasus Mountains to Stalingrad is more than 600 kilometers, which means that the German fleet will fly to Stalingrad in at most an hour and a half!

"Let the air defense forces along the way also intercept."

Commander Kuznetsov was like an ant falling into a hot pot. He turned around in a hurry and used all the forces at his disposal to try to intercept the German bomber formation.
