The crowd looked in the direction from which the voice came and saw that the person who spoke was General Okorokov, the head of the Political Department. Originally, he had only come to Rokossovsky with Su Bojing to report on his work, but when he heard everyone mention the Belonse disc, he couldn't help but interject. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him at this moment, he continued: "Since the aircraft factory is the focus of the Germans' defense, they must not only defend against attacks launched by our troops from the ground, but also from the air, presumably their anti-aircraft firepower is very powerful. ”

"Let me add." As soon as Okorokov's words were finished, Bogolyubov felt the need to say two words: "Even if the anti-aircraft fire near the manufacturing plant is not strong, will anyone among the people on the mission drive these prototypes?" Don't get down by enemy anti-aircraft fire, but crash due to a driving error. ”

Bogolyubov's words reminded everyone that among the people who went on the mission, there was really no one who knew how to drive, and if he forcibly took off, it would be equivalent to death. Thinking about it like this, the mood of everyone present became extremely heavy.

Rokossovsky originally thought that by sending people to infiltrate the aircraft factory, he would have a chance to get the Belonse disc out, but at this time, even if the Germans did not jump over the wall and sabotage, Shevchak and they had got the prototype, but it was still impossible to ship it out.

Thinking of this, Rokossovsky knocked twice on the conference table with his hand and asked everyone: "Do you have any good suggestions?" ”

"What a pity." Lunev said with a regretful face: "If we had known this, we should have asked the Air Force to send a few excellent pilots over, and with their assistance, at least even one prototype could be flown out." ”

"Yes," his words resonated with Vinogradov, "I didn't think it through, I sent so many people on a mission, and I forgot to send a few more pilots with me." ”

Seeing that the Belonze disc might not be available, Rokossovsky's mind began to think quickly: "Since you can't get the Belonse disc, you might as well retreat and get the HO-229 fighter-bomber in front of the Americans." ”

Thinking of this, he looked at Lunev and asked, "General Lunev, is there any new progress in your interrogation?" ”

Hearing Rokossovsky's question, Lunev did not immediately answer, but glanced at the rest of the commanders sitting around the conference table, looking very hesitant.

Rokossovsky guessed the other party's concern, which was that there were too many people here and the news would leak out. He waved his hand at Lunev and said disapprovingly: "General Lunev, don't worry, these are all senior commanders of our front army, and they will not casually say what they heard. He was confident in saying this, and he knew very well in his heart that among the people present, there was really no such person who was not strict and would not casually leak what he heard at the meeting.

Now that Rokossovsky has said this, Lunev knows that if he doesn't say it, he may upset the other party. He coughed vigorously, cleared his throat, and continued: "Comrade Marshal, you are right in your analysis, in the face of increasingly fierce air raids by the Allied forces, the anxious Goering put forward clear technical performance requirements for the new aircraft - it must have a bomb load of one ton, a speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour, and a combat radius of 1,000 kilometers, and it is required to have both air and ground combat capabilities. ”

Saying this, Lunev deliberately paused for a moment to observe Rokossovsky's reaction. Seeing that the other party's expression was still the same, it seemed that he had been prepared for this result for a long time, and continued: "On March 1, 1944, the first unpowered prototype of the program codenamed 'Ho IX' achieved a successful unpowered glide test flight. Tests have proved that the flight qualities of the aircraft fully meet the requirements of the technical design. Encouraged by the success of the tests, the Air Force began to conduct powered tests. It is powered by the Junkers Jumo 004 turbojet engine, which is codenamed 'Ho IX v2'.

The second powered prototype flew three times, and after the first two test flights, the designers made improvements based on the existing problems to improve the aircraft's performance. Unfortunately, after the third test flight, the plane was destroyed due to loss of control. At the moment, their third prototype has already begun production, and another test flight is planned in June. ”

After Rokossovsky saw that Lunev finished speaking, he looked at the other party and asked with some confusion: "General Lunev, have you finished reporting?" ”

"Yes, Comrade Marshal." Lunev nodded and said, "I've finished my report." It is a pity that although Bach knew about the flight tests, he did not know the specific storage location of the Ho-229 fighter-bomber. ”

Lunev's words poured cold water on Rokossovsky's head-on, but he didn't expect that he had been busy for a long time, not only did he not hope to get the Beloncai disc, but he didn't even have the opportunity to get the Ho-229 fighter-bomber, and his face couldn't help but show an expression of disappointment. He smiled bitterly and said to Lunev: "General Lunev, in this case, everything we have done is useless? ”

"No, Comrade Marshal." Although he knew that he could not obtain the Ho-229 fighter-bomber, Lunev still had the last illusion in his heart, thinking that the team led by Shevchak and Kulishenko might be able to bring him some surprises, so when he saw Rokossovsky hanging his head, he also persuaded: "In any case, the special detachment we sent is still in the German aircraft factory, and as long as the Germans do not destroy the Belonze disc for a day, we have hope of success." You say yes, right? ”

Rokossovsky, who was already discouraged and disappointed, couldn't help but light up when he heard Lunev say this, and said in his heart Yes, we didn't have a special detachment of 40 people infiltrated the enemy's aircraft factory, and at present they have not been identified by the enemy, and the enemy has not begun to sabotage the prototype, and there is still hope for success in this matter.

Thinking of this, Rokossovsky stood up and said to Lunev: "General Lunev, you immediately call back the special detachment and ask them to try to get one of the prototypes out of the factory on the basis of trying to save the data and the Belonse disc." As long as I can accomplish this task, I will give everyone a medal. ”

For Russians who love honor, receiving a medal is more precious than receiving a material award of 10,000 rubles. At this moment, Lunev heard Rokossovsky again say that he was going to award medals to the people of the special detachment, and quickly replied: "Don't worry, Comrade Marshal, I will convey your meaning to them." ”
