The commotion caused by the German reconnaissance planes quickly ended, and the villagers, who had ended the anti-aircraft covert operation, returned to their homes one after another.

Today's events have really shocked tens of thousands of civilians, because this is an unprecedented thing! The army actually discovered the enemy plane half an hour in advance!

As everyone knows, this early warning miracle came from the army's early warning radar. Who made the radar? Of course, they are the commander Berekov.

The majority of villagers already admired their commander, and now this admiration is even deeper!

Yang Mingzhi could naturally imagine that after this incident, the majority of villagers would definitely love him even more, which can be seen from the congratulatory messages sent by everyone in the headquarters alone. Among them, the most valuable congratulatory message came from Salinchkin, this old guy came to the headquarters in person, and as soon as they met, he held Yang Mingzhi's hand.

"Comrade Berekov! You're really an inventor, and you've really made a brand new radar out of the small parts of that old radar! Today, it was an eye-opener! ”

This guy was too enthusiastic, which made Yang Mingzhi a little embarrassed.

"That's it! Comrade Commissioner! This is indeed a happy event, and it is not worth your overjoy! You see, I'm not overly excited. ”

"Well, I should be calm, too! Now I have to do some self-criticism! ”

"Oh?" Yang Mingzhi was puzzled, "What do you blame yourself?" ”

"Just yesterday, I was still suspicious of the four radar soldiers, for fear that they would not be able to do this important job. I really never expected that they not only did a good job, but also made meritorious contributions! I am a pragmatic person, and I have written down all the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions. As he spoke, Salinchkin blinked his left eye and whispered, "I will keep my promise, and I will take credit for those girls!" ”

Yang Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then felt happy in his heart.

"It's wonderful! I thank you for them! ”

"Alright, this matter is over for now! This damn German reconnaissance plane, they are in the mine again, I am afraid that the enemy will carry out another air strike! After all, our mine is very important! ”

"Regarding this matter, I am also about to invite you to participate in our emergency military meeting, since you are here, let's not talk nonsense, let's start immediately!"

The senior officers were all gathered in the headquarters, and instead of being complacent about the radar warning, they were very pragmatic and conducted an in-depth analysis of the possible actions of the German army in the future.

Here, Yang Mingzhi is the main analyst.

"The German reconnaissance planes were counterattacked by our fire only at the mines, and not a single bullet was fired at our blacksmith village or even at other collective farms. I've focused the enemy's attention on the mines, especially the fake barracks that are being built! If the enemy wants an air attack, the first thing to bear the brunt of is the fake barracks! I'm the one who ordered Medvedev to project fire on enemy planes in a fake barracks! If I were a German, I would not hesitate to believe that this is the real barracks of the Soviet army! ”

This explanation is convincing, as in the case of Yevlov and Fomin, who did not question it.

Someone always had to be questioned, and that was Salinchkin, who asked, "Are the Germans really so stupid?" Will you easily jump into your trap? ”

Yang Mingzhi nodded: "It's not a matter of being smart and stupid. The Germans had every reason to believe that they had found an important target, and they had only two options, ignore them or bomb. I think they will definitely choose to bomb! After all, we will take the initiative to attack, we will always touch the sensitive nerves of the enemy, and they will inevitably retaliate. However, when people decide to take revenge, they tend to lose their minds! ”

"In that case, they will bombard our fake targets indiscriminately?!"

"It was better to do so!" Yang Mingzhi smiled slightly, "I just hope so!" They had better drop bombs as hard as they could. I said a long time ago that the silt in the swamps is an excellent buffer, and they drop bombs on fake barracks, many of which cannot explode! These duds were captured by our army, and a large amount of explosives in them are ours! This is the truth of guerrilla warfare! The so-called no guns, no cannons, the enemy made us! I don't want to capture a lot of ordnance, if I can get a lot of TNT, it's the best! ”

On the other hand, after the German reconnaissance plane returned to the base and Paul made a reconnaissance report, the air brigade was in a commotion.

The German pilots who remained here were very envious of their comrades who had been transferred to fight on the Kharkov front. Those men slaughtered Soviet pilots on the front line, and they also bombed Soviet ground targets with ease. As a fighter pilot, who doesn't want their name in the merit book?

All the German pilots, their spiritual totem was the famous Red Baron Friedrich, a battle hero who shaped the military soul of the German Air Force in his own unique way.

Every pilot wants to replicate the hero's romance and exploits, but the opportunity to fight is not available to everyone.

Now, in front of the Koch Air Brigade is an opportunity to attack, although there are only a few fighters, after loading bombs, bombing the enemy barracks will definitely achieve great results! Only a major victory can make the superiors pay attention to their Koch air brigade and this great military value!

Koch was briefed by Paul, and he was fully convinced that the area was indeed the new Russian barracks. He had no reason not to believe it.

At an emergency military meeting, he shouted hoarsely at his subordinates: "Gentlemen! The opportunity to make meritorious contributions to the Third Reich has arrived! We must bomb the barracks of the Russians and kill their living forces on a massive scale, without mercy! ”

The ten pilots had electric eyes, their hearts beating wildly, eager to try their new moves.

"Gentlemen, go and prepare now! I immediately reported the matter to my superiors, and I thought that the air raid permission would be issued immediately! ”

Koch did report the incident to his superiors as soon as possible, and officially mentioned the request for an airstrike. The report he submitted was also handed over by the Air Force to the Army stationed in various parts of Belarus, and even to the top Nazi commander of Belarus, William Kubet.

Revenge on the Russians, which was supported by the German high-brass, so the barracks of the Soviet army in the swamps were discovered, how could the air raids be grinding?

On June 17, just four hours after Paul had finished his investigation, an order reached Koch.

"Order, Fifth Air Group, to dispatch all combatable aircraft, load bombs, and bomb the Russian barracks! When, on the morning of June 18th! ”

Koch was thrilled to give the order faster than Koch expected, but when he came to his senses, he realized that his superior's order was also a bit hasty.

Because the runway has not yet been fully restored, the ground crew will have to complete the runway in a very short time to carry out the new operation.

Is this possible?

Koch had no choice, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, through a loudspeaker, he ordered all the ground crews and garrisons of the entire aviation base to gather urgently.

He gave two orders. First, all fighter pilots should be combat-ready, and technicians should overhaul all combat-ready aircraft in preparation for tomorrow's air raids. Second, all ground crews and garrisons should immediately start all machinery and level the entire runway within the next 12 hours.
