SB, in later generations, was a well-known national curse, but the bomber today has nothing to do with this national curse.

SB is the acronym for the Soviet fast bomber, which means that this is a bomber! At the same time, it also comes from the design bureau of the Soviet large aircraft and the Tupolev Design Bureau.

In the early 1930s, the Soviet Air Force proposed the need to develop a light fast bomber. The experienced Tupolev Design Bureau quickly came up with a plan and obtained it, and mass production began in 1934.

From the appearance, this type of bomber is very similar to the bomber in World War II. It has a single wing, two engines at the wing base of the wing, and the nose has glass navigation and bomber acting as the crew compartment of the two pilots.

This is a medium-sized fast bomber with a theoretical bomb load of 600 kilograms, which is often loaded to 900 kilograms, with a maximum range of 980 kilometers.

At the same time, in terms of protection, this bomber has certain armor defense capabilities at the beginning of its design, and the key parts of the body and interior are made of high-strength sulfonated manganese silicon steel and all-metal skin.

In this era, the SB-2 bomber is also a bomber with excellent performance, and it flies faster than many biplane aircraft!

At the same time, its firepower is also strong! The self-defense weapon has 4 Soviet-made 7.62mm machine guns, which can effectively form a self-defense firepower network.

In later practical combat, in the sky of Eastern China, SB-2 often shot down Japanese fighter jets with low defense, and there was a case of shooting down five Japanese fighter jets.

The Spanish Civil War was a cruel war. In this war, the Soviet Union, as the international column behind the scenes, fought an arduous battle in Spain.

Madrid is the focus of the competition between the two sides!

The SB-2 bombers assisted by the Soviet Union were all deployed to suburban airports in Madrid, and the Fly 1 Flying Team of the Spanish Republic Air Force was also deployed here.

(I really don't understand why the Spanish name this way, but this is a real name in history.)

It has been more than a week since the deployment here. At noon that day, Colonel Kozlov, the captain of the bomber brigade, received a news that made him angry.

At a front-line airport in Badajoz, our side was air strikes by the Condor Legion, and all the fighter planes in the entire airport were blown up!

This is simply unacceptable. How many rubles have been wasted in this batch of supplies and how long it has been transported in the middle, now it has been blown to ashes!

The air force of the International Column also lost hundreds of people.

Now, one of their missions is to bomb the base of the Condor Legion and repay blood with blood!

After receiving this order, Colonel Kozlov, without any hesitation, immediately ordered his fleet to mount bombs, fill with fuel, and go to bomb!

In the past few days, they have become familiar with the entire Spanish airspace. The target position they were about to bomb was marked on the flight map. After a simple allocation, Colonel Kozlov first stepped onto his own plane.

The air operations in this era seem to be not so much attention. Isn’t it that simple to fly over, throw bombs, and come back?

The engines on both sides rumbled, and the SB-2 bomber propeller rotated, towed the plane, aimed at the center line of the runway, and slid to the end of the runway before pulling it up.

Following Kozlov, one bomber after another took off, a total of sixteen bombers formed a cluster in the air.

Behind them, Fly 1 Fly Flying Team also took off sixteen fighter jets, all of which were biplane I-15 fighters.

Thirty-two planes formed a large group of aircraft and flew towards the predetermined target to avenge their comrades!

For the SB-2 bombers, it was just enough for them to travel a round trip, while for the I-15 fighter, they were almost one-way flights. After completing the escort mission, they would fly to Kalsada's base to land.

The sky in the afternoon was a little yellow, and the entire formation was filled with a dull atmosphere.

After more than an hour of flight, I gradually approached the target. Kozlov in front of me first descended on the altitude.

Why lower the height? Of course, it is to avoid alarming the enemy. After all, the lower the height, the closer the distance is to be discovered!

According to the previous statement, at this time, the Germans were celebrating their victory, so their base must be unprepared, and the raid will be easily successful!

The Yi-15 fighter behind also lowered its altitude, and the large fleet continued to fly towards the target at an altitude of hundreds of meters.

Throw the bomb on the head of the Condor Legion to let them know how powerful they are!

Until now, there are still no fighter jets from the Condor Legion take off. It seems that they must be in a carnival!

In front of the bomber, the navigator has put his eyes on the simple bombing sight. The common method of this kind of bomber is horizontal bombing, so you must be prepared in time and enter the bomb drop state at any time.

The bomber was still flying steadily. The bomber behind followed the pilot aircraft in front and entered the bombing route together, getting closer and closer to the target!

Near, closer!

"Damn, who informed the target coordinates?" The navigator moved his eyes away from the bombing sight and shouted loudly: "There is nothing below!"

The cockpit above cannot be seen directly below, and the navigator has a wide view, and there are villages, farms, manors, and where are there any air force bases!

If it wasn't for the flight error all the way, it could only be wrong information!

The navigator was quite depressed, there was nothing left behind, so why are you bombing?

It is not easy to observe the ground from the air, and there will be various obstructions. Moreover, the speed of the aircraft is quite fast, which increases the difficulty.

Now that the navigator has reported that nothing has been discovered, Kozlov also felt a little sad. Will he return without success?

"Pull up the bomber and we fly higher," Kozlov said.

The more you fly, the farther you see, maybe the target is nearby?

With his orders, the pilot on the side pulled the wheel, and the 12-meter-long bomber raised the nose, and the belly of the aircraft looked extremely clear on the ground.

"Blow me hard!" On the ground, a young general squatting in an air-raid shelter, wearing a camouflage disguise net on his head, and observing the sky with a telescope, shouted loudly.
Chapter completed!
