Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 186: Go deep behind enemy lines (2)

The tail rudder is not an ornament, it will really kill people if it breaks. But having said that, if the pilots pass the test, the rudder failure is actually not as serious as ordinary people think. Especially military aircrafts often encounter accidental rudder damage. The predecessors of this flight have long developed a set of countermeasures. .

The steering of the aircraft does not only rely on the rudder. With the differential between the ailerons on both sides of the wing, the aircraft can also be controlled to change the direction of travel. Just like the future b2 flying wing body, the tail is directly abandoned, and all flying attitudes The transformation depends on the adjustment of multiple control surfaces on the wings.

At this time, the British and German air forces also had many similar battles. Some bombers that had completely destroyed their vertical tails, relying on the skills of pilots, still successfully returned to the base. But Lieutenant Colonel Maike’s situation is different from those of the aircraft, the damage suffered by the ju88b far exceeds those of previous successful cases. After the tail rudder stuck, there were only three control surfaces left to maintain the flight. If you want to steer by sideslip, Lieutenant Colonel Maike said that it is impossible to do so.

The aileron on the right wing had already had a problem before, otherwise how could he inexplicably go around the field at that speed in the air defense firepower net. Had it not been for the normal use of the tail rudder at the time and the pilot’s quick response, the almost out of control aircraft would have almost fallen into a semi-rolling dive, which is the so-called anti-Immermann maneuver in flight terminology, and doing it at that altitude That kind of action, there is no possibility of pulling up again.

Lieutenant Colonel Maike finally returned the wing surface to its original position. He judged that the connecting rod controlling the aileron rudder surface must have been severely hit, because he could feel the fatalness from the control feel. Caton. Now the hard-working tail rudder has finally come to an end, which is a fatal blow to the lead plane. At this time, ju88b can only rely on the two horizontal tails and the left aileron to maintain the balance of the airframe, and must always be alert to the problem of the right aileron again.

Lieutenant Colonel Maike tried to control the plane while thinking about how to solve the current dilemma. Although the wing captain has extensive combat experience. He has dealt with many dangerous situations, but it is the first time he has encountered such an unfortunate situation since he joined the army. Through the broken windshield, Maike looked at the huge city with almost no edge in sight. Looking at the large gray-black roofs and the dark plumes of smoke scattered all over the city, the wing captain couldn't help having a bad feeling. Maybe I can't fly back this time.

The engine of the ju88b is still working hard, but it can be heard from the intermittent exhaust sound that some of the cylinders have been damaged, and the engine tachometer is also showing the pilot that the power of the aircraft is slowly decreasing. Although Lieutenant Colonel Maike has not fallen into despair, he has accepted the bleak prospects of this aircraft. The tough air force lieutenant colonel never thought of giving up. He still had to make the last fight. Maike began to carefully control the plane to climb, and wanted to fly far enough. It is necessary to raise the height of the aircraft. However, due to the lack of engine power, after the attitude change, the pointer on the speedometer began to rotate rapidly, Maike could only lower the nose again to prevent the aircraft from falling into a stall. He has exhausted all the means he can think of, and he has nothing to do with this plane.

He and his crew can only watch themselves getting closer and closer to the city of London in a nervous mood. The only thing that made them feel a little bit of comfort is that ju88b's current flight status is fairly stable. The three German pilots looked at each other for a while, and then began to share the rest of the food and drinks, they had done their best. The rest can only depend on the will of God. If his old man is kind, he might be able to pass through the war zone. On the eastern coast, although it was also an enemy-controlled area, due to the recent activity of the German navy, luck might be able to encounter several patrolling German torpedo boats.

The seriously injured German bomber broke into the sky above London like no one else. At this time, the sky over London was cloudless. Several citizens stood in the vegetable plot cultivated in their backyard, looking up and tremblingly at the lone plane flying in the blue sky.

The German bomber unit had no plans to bomb the city of London that day, so there was no friendly aircraft within a radius of more than ten kilometers. The British fighter group responsible for the defense of London has also been fully mobilized to the southern line of defense. Is competing with the German fighter group for the final air supremacy. As a result, the sky above London became a tactical vacuum zone, and Maike's ju88b rushed in at this moment.

The British obviously did not expect such a thing to happen. Their lookout posts focused their attention on the southeast, when the military spotted the German bomber coming from the southwest. Germans can already see the Thames clearly.

Mike and his crew were a little strange at first that the sky above London was so quiet, they immediately became happy, because if this continues, they might actually be able to cross the city to reach the Strait alive. Facts have proved that they are happy too early. The so-called "Fu Wushuang" does not come singly. Just when everyone thought they could escape from birth, God once again made a joke with them.

"Sir, the control surface of our left horizontal tail has fallen." Captain Firm couldn't believe his eyes. The thing swayed in front of his eyes and broke free of the hinge, and then rolled away. Out of his vision.

"I feel it, **** it, the engine speed on the right is also dropping."

"We're falling down, sir." The air schoolmaster firmly grasped the handle on the windshield frame above his head, and shouted loudly.

"Come on, come on, you are a good girl, you can do it." Lieutenant Colonel Maike shouted at the landline, and he pulled the joystick back vigorously.

"Pull up, pull up, God, I don't want to die in this place" Captain Firme stepped on the dashboard, helping the driver pull the rock-heavy joystick at this time.

With the efforts of the two strong men, ju88 finally began to slowly raise the nose and resume the flight attitude, but by this time the aircraft has lost a lot of valuable altitude. Looking out from the cabin, the Germans can already know I distinguished the skylight in the attic on the roof of the city.

"About 800 to 900 meters, can we continue to climb?" Captain Firme took off the hose on the oxygen mask, and he buckled the belt of the mask and said with an urn.

"It’s not time to abandon the plane for parachuting, we will fly to the northeast for a while, and now it’s downtown London. Those British guys will strip you alive." Lieutenant Colonel Maiko struggled with the joystick. , He is confident that this plane can hold on for a while. As a last resort, he didn't want to airborne in the enemy's capital. It's like throwing a fat piglet into a group of lions.

According to sources within the Air Force, German pilots have been completely demonized by the British. It has been discovered that some unlucky pilots were attacked by armed civilians after forced landing or parachuting. The intelligence agency said two people were even killed by ignorant farmers after surrendering. The Luftwaffe immediately retaliated and razed all the villages and towns in that area, but the tragedy had already occurred, and nothing would help at this time.

Ju88, full of bullet holes, roared across the street, the unresponsive British air defense department. At this time the air defense alarm was finally sounded. The residents in the upper-class community apartments ran to the street in a panic. They dragged their homes and gathered them into a dense flow of people, and rushed toward the nearest air-raid shelter. Witnessing the chaos in the street below, the bombardier felt a little regretful about it. Their magazine had been emptied, otherwise they might be able to give the Brits a surprise gift.

"Pull it down, if you do it like this, the commanders will screw your head off." In the midst of suffering together, Lieutenant Colonel Maike didn't say anything harsher.

The German plane flew at a low altitude of 900 meters, and the citizens of London were able to see the enemy clearly for the first time. In the previous hundreds of bombings, the Germans flew high, and only a rough outline could be seen with the telescope. Where is it like today, even the iron cross under the wings is clear. At this time, some sharp-eyed British people also noticed the abnormality. The German aircraft's shell was full of scars, one engine was still dragging a faint blue smoke, and the flying posture was also forward and backward, swinging to the left and right, where is the bombing, obviously Do the final struggle.

Ju88 dragged his scarred body and flew over the Thames, Lieutenant Colonel Maike tilted his head. Pointed out Buckingham Palace not far away to his men.

"Is that Buckingham Palace? Then there is Hyde Park behind it. We would have razed it to the ground if it weren't for the Führer's strict orders." Sergeant Staufen took out the camera from the toolbox. Start pressing the shutter continuously.

"If we have to parachute, before falling into the hands of the enemy, you must remember to destroy all the film and not leave any photos that may involve the base to the British." Lieutenant Colonel Maiko warned loudly.

"I understand sir, this is just a habit of wanting to keep a memorial." Staufen nodded quickly, and then hung the camera to his chest.

"The situation is not good, our direction is facing Canary Wharf, where there is a naval shipyard, there must be intensive anti-aircraft firepower." Lieutenant Colonel Maike frowned, he began to think about countermeasures, relying on the current body Circumstances, simply cannot withstand any external blows.

"We can make the last maneuver, making a turn to the left, and then I can no longer control the plane. This height should be enough for us to parachute. The problem is that the following is the East End of London. It is said that there are villains from all over the UK. You must be psychologically prepared that Germans must not fall into the hands of gangsters. If possible, find the nearest police or army to surrender. I am honored to fly with you, and may God bless us." Lieutenant Colonel Maiko made it. The last decision he wanted to make, he felt from the bottom of his heart that it was definitely not a good idea.

"Headquarters, this is the Red 70 team leader. Our plane has lost control and is now over London. We can no longer fly. We are preparing to parachute in the East End of London. May God bless us, long live the Third Reich." Sending out the final message of the death, Maike turned off the communication switch, and then signaled Firme to destroy the radio.

When everything was ready, the air defense positions in the dock area at the far river bay had begun to shoot ju88 in a mess. Maike steadily shook the joystick, ju88 began to slowly side the fuselage, the aircraft entered sideslip, the aircraft quickly turned around, from the northeast to the due east, just past the edge of the shipyard's air defense net, the performance was fairly normal The British naval gunners could only helplessly watch the shell explode a cloud of smoke in the air two to three hundred meters from the plane.

"Gentlemen, good luck to us." Lieutenant Colonel Maiko unplugged all the lines connecting the helmet~IndoMTL.com~ fastened the helmet goggles and face shield, this is the most respected point of this helmet by pilots. It not only has a certain bullet-proof function, but also resists the strong wind encountered during parachuting.

The ju88 is still rolling. This change in attitude is irreversible. The pilot must leave the aircraft before the fuselage completely flips, so the action must be fast. Firme lifted the floor a long time ago and pulled out the hatch abandonment handle under Maike's sign. After a loud blast, the bottom hatch flew out of the hatch together with the door frame. The wing captain patted the squadron captain on the shoulder, and Firme jumped out of the cabin, and then left the twenty-four-year-old Xueba. At the last glance, Maike noticed that the child was still holding his camera on his chest.

At this time, the plane has tilted to nearly ninety degrees, and it will be too late if you don't abandon the plane. Lieutenant Colonel Maike gritted his teeth, grabbed the hatch and jumped out of the cabin. The parachute opened smoothly, and the German product once again showed its reliable performance. The air force lieutenant colonel hung under the parachute and descended towards the most chaotic area of ​​London.
