Deep Raid
About Deep Raid
The air force of an unnamed hostile state bombs Soviet border towns. Three squadrons of Soviet heavy bombers fly deep into the enemy rear and hit a target that decides the war. One bomber finds underground hangars. When the bombs are gone the commander orders the crew to jump and flies the plane into the last hangar still standing. Soviet tanks and cavalry then strike, and the enemy retreats.
