Chapter 1211： Shadow president (1/2)
While the wolf den was excitedly discussing the various consequences of the bombing, distant Moscow was immersed in an atmosphere of grief and anger.
Petersburg, was blown to the ground.
The number of casualties has not yet been counted, but the residents in the city are definitely not lucky enough, and the buildings are gone. Can people still live?
The cradle of the October Revolution just disappeared. After it became flat ground, it had no defensive value. German tanks could move up at any time, and there was no way to defend it.
Stalin did not speak, nor did he light the cigarette pot. Only his hands were shaking, showing how shocking his heart was at this time.
The Germans are showing their power. Today they can blow up Petersburg, tomorrow they can blow up Kiev, and the day after tomorrow they can blow up Moscow!
”Our workers in Petersburg have all moved out, but some industrial equipment has not been able to be moved out. They are now moving to the Ural Mountains. It is estimated that it will take two to three months before production can resume.” Beria said.
In addition to political significance, Petersburg also has industrial value. It is the base of Soviet heavy industry. Many weapons are produced from Petersburg. Without Petersburg, industrial production in the Soviet Union will decline. What is most urgently needed now is weapons.
”Our failure this time is mainly because we did not expect that the Germans would suddenly launch a V-2 missile attack, destroying our air base. Almost all of our MiG-3 fighters were destroyed on the ground. Yes.” Vasilievsky said.
As the deputy chief of the general staff and the head of the operations department, Vasilevsky participated in the high-level meeting of the base camp for the first time. He wanted to analyze the failure of the Petersburg air defense operations.
”If our MiG-3 fighters can successfully fly into the air, it can completely interfere with the German bombing operations. The Germans dispatched two hundred bombers, which is exactly the same as ours. As long as we can interfere with their Flying can prevent them from bombing our Petersburg.” Vasilievsky said: ”We just ignored the German V-2 missiles. Their attack was terrible.”
This time St. Petersburg’s failure cannot be blamed on our own command. We can only blame the German weapons for being too advanced, and we can’t blame it any more, because St. Petersburg’s highest commander, Marshal Voroshinov, visited the Air Force. The command of the base was hit by a German V-2 missile, and he was martyred on the spot.
Marshal Voroshinov was a good marshal of the Soviets. His sacrifice caused the entire Soviet to fall into grief. Under such circumstances, he should not bear the responsibility for command failure.
”In response to this situation, I suggest that our air force's fighter units should be dispersed in multiple airports in the future, especially the temporary construction of field airports, to minimize the assembly of large aircraft groups, so as to avoid concentrated bombing by the Germans.” Fusky continued: ”At the same time, this battle also proved that our MiG-3 fighters pose a great threat to German bombers. We will accelerate the production of such bombers in the future to protect our airspace.”
The Germans killed the MiG-3 before the bombing, which shows that the MiG-3 is the biggest threat to the Germans. This is an aircraft produced by the Soviet Union with all its strength. It is fully capable of blocking the German Junker-290. bomber.
”It's a pity that our MiG-3s are all consumed.” Ivanovich-Mikoyan said to the side: ”The production of the new MiG-3 is not fast, especially if the MiG-3 is dispersed. The defect of insufficient range of 3 will be more obvious.”
