Chapter 928 (1/2)

When the German Stuka bombers were raging throughout Western Europe, the Soviets in the East were also thinking. When the German hs129 appeared as a flying tank, the Soviets were even more shocked.

The Soviets also had to have the same weapons as Germany, which played a very powerful role in supporting the ground!

Therefore, under various pressures, the Department led by Sergei V Ilyushin under the central design bureau of the Soviet Union (tskb) has been committed to a new model called tskb-55 since two years ago. The name given by the military is bsh-2, that is, ”armored ground attack aircraft.”

The initial design requirements are: the total weight of single engine, two seats, engine and crew shall not be greater than 700 kg. It is also stipulated that nickel molybdenum alloy steel armor plate with a thickness of 4 to 7 mm must be installed. The wing is all metal, while the fuselage is a mixture of metal and wood, and the rear of the fuselage is wood.

The engine is mikulin am-35, with 1350 horsepower.

One year later, the prototype was manufactured. It installed four 7.62mm shkas machine guns on the wing and one at the rear of the cockpit; The magazine inside the wing can carry four 100 kg bombs, or two 250 kg bombs can be hung under the wing.

Unfortunately, the performance of the aircraft at this time is not satisfactory, especially in the case of increasing weight, the aircraft has reached 4.7 tons, which makes the am-35 engine specially developed for high-altitude flight overburdened.

After emergency modification, the aircraft adopted a modified 1550 horsepower am-38 engine and reduced the number of pilots to one. In this way, it finally barely met the performance requirements. The initial production model, named IL-2, was equipped to the fourth ground air attack regiment.

There are still many problems to be solved for the flying tank behind. This is only the original model.

Now, after receiving the order, the air regiment transferred from the airport immediately took off.

These days, they have been studying how to attack Brest fortress. Every strategic place and every solid fortification in Brest fortress are their research goals. They are full of confidence.

However, before taking off, they received a new order to find a terrible cannon hidden behind Brest fortress and destroy it. This cannon is at least 406!

Captain Walisi took off first. The engine in front of him emitted black smoke. The fighter plane taxied on the runway until it reached the end of the runway. He pulled it up and the fighter plane rose slowly with a slope.

Although the new engine is installed, the mobility of this kind of aircraft is still very poor. Before flying this kind of aircraft, they all flew two winged polikapov aircraft. That kind of aircraft is flexible. Compared with the two, it's just like cement in flight. It's too difficult to fly.

Any action should be careful, because the engine power is insufficient, accidents often occur, and what's more terrible is all kinds of mechanical faults. There are always some inexplicable problems in this newly equipped aircraft.

Climbing to about 500 meters, he turned his head and looked back. The subsequent planes were slowly taking off. Now, they were going to attack!

At this time, they did not know that their take-off had been seen by the German agents ambushed at the airport. Almost when he just skidded onto the runway, the German opposite took off.

They are all the same fw190, the most advanced fighter! Under the nose, the 40mm bofoss machine gun glittered.

The pilot, Colonel Werner merders, sat in his cockpit and looked at the eastern sky. He knew that the battle was about to begin.
