The bomb load of the Stuka fighter jet was not very large. In terms of bombing effect, it was definitely not comparable to the strategic bomber!
However, to the soldiers on the front lines, the prestige of the Stuka bomber was far greater than that of the strategic bomber.
The reason for this was that the strategic bomber aircraft did not appear at the front line easily, so it was difficult for the air force to arrive in time when they called for fire support. On the other hand, the tactical aircraft were deployed at the front line and could be called at any time. Therefore, the soldiers had more contact with these aircraft.
There were many times when the battle was extremely difficult and both sides were exhausted. When victory was on the line, it was the Stuka Bombers that were sent out and blew up the enemy, helping them win and also helping them keep their lives.
Therefore, the German soldiers naturally had a deeper affection for this kind of fighter. In contrast, the Soviet soldiers had suffered many losses on the battlefield from this kind of bomber. They were killed and injured by this kind of bomber, so they hated and feared the German bomber!
Therefore, when such a bomber with a clear love and hate between the soldiers of both sides appeared on the battlefield, the German soldiers rejoiced and responded with warm applause and excited whistles.
On the other hand, the Soviets turned pale with fear and scrambled into bunkers and bunkers. They knew very well what the consequences would be if they were targeted by such a bomber!
Under the watchful eyes of countless soldiers on both sides, hundreds of Stuka dive bomber entered the battlefield and flew over the Soviets.
The terrified Soviets immediately started firing, attempting to shoot down the enemy planes.
The German artillery was not idle either. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Soviets 'anti-aircraft guns and machine guns attacking the planes in the air, they immediately took action and knocked out the Soviets' anti-air firepower points one by one.
After the anti-air fire points were destroyed, the Soviets 'empty fire immediately decreased by a lot. Even if the remaining fire points were not destroyed, they did not dare to expose them at this time. After all, the German counterattack was too fierce!
While the artillery of both sides were fighting, the Stuka dive-bomber was already in position.
They began to aim at their own targets. The first batch of targets selected were almost all high-value targets, such as command posts, communication command vehicles, armored targets, and artillery units.
After confirming the target, the Stuka dive-bomber used a very standard movement to descend vertically from the sky, piercing straight into the ground like a sharp sword!
If someone who didn't understand the situation saw this scene, they would probably be surprised and think that this was a vain disaster!
Because when the Stuka dive-bomber attacked, it looked no different from a plane crashing!
The only difference was that when Stuka 'crashed' down, there wasn't any smoke coming out of its butt!
When the German soldiers saw the Stuka fighter planes diving down in droves, they immediately danced excitedly, waving their hats and helmets in the air as they shouted loudly!
Hundreds of bomber planes swooped down in unison. The scene made people's blood boil with excitement!
This scene was too spectacular!
However, the Soviets were not in the mood to enjoy such a spectacular scene. The closer the enemy's aircraft was, the more dangerous their situation would be!
In the hearts of the Soviets, the Stuka dive bomber had another name-Hell's Roar!
Whoosh!
A sharp whistling sound began to ring out from the Stuka dive bomber. When they dived at an extremely high speed, the sound would hit the ground at an even higher speed. The Soviets on the ground, no matter where they hid, could not escape the omnipresent sound wave attack!
The voice that kept raising its pitch and getting louder was like the roar of a messenger from hell. It echoed in their ears and there was nowhere to hide or avoid!
The Russian soldiers were almost driven mad by this sound. It was too terrifying. They should not be like this. Why don't they just shoot me to death?
Meanwhile, the clusters of bomber planes had already flown above them. They turned on the control switch less than 100 meters away from them and put down the bombs mounted on the belly and under the wings. Then, they pulled the lever elegantly and raised their heads like eagles, breaking away from the shackles of gravity and returning to the embrace of the blue sky!
The bombs they threw out fell at an extremely high speed and accurately hit their targets!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions sounded from the battlefield!
The thick smoke was like a gust of wind, driven away by the rolling airwaves and spreading crazily!
After the explosion, the high-value targets of the Soviets on the ground were almost completely destroyed, including artillery positions, heavy machine gun positions, hidden bunkers, and several command posts.
The first attack by the Stuka dive-bomber group ended perfectly.
Their actions also helped to support the German ground forces 'attack, clearing the obstacles for the ground forces' assault!
At eight o'clock in the morning, the German troops, who had finished their preparations, took advantage of the fact that the Soviets had just been bombed and their morale was low to launch a frontal attack.
The German Air Force, which had gained complete control of the air, also took turns to deploy a large number of fighter planes and bomber planes to assist the ground forces in advancing.
The Soviets 'defensive line collapsed once again.
However, the difference was that they could still say that it was a surprise attack from the German army and that they were not prepared enough!
But this time, the German army launched an open attack in broad daylight, but they still could not resist!
Perhaps from the start of this battle, the outcome of the Battle of Kursk had already been decided!
