Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 182: Golden Helmet (Part 1)

"Now I can start asking questions, who else doesn't understand?" The new captain of the 501st "Straight Flush" Bomber Wing, Lieutenant Colonel Herman Maiko looked back at the group of newcomers. Lewen Novels|

This newly formed bomber wing, from the captain to the pilots, is all drawn from various aviation teams. Most of the pilots came from the Second, Fourth, and Fifth Air Forces. There were also a few new recruits from the Second Air Force. These pilots are actually new reserve personnel added to the wing, that is, because of this, each flying team will be so generous to release people.

"Is there any problem? Very good. The crews are ready to dispatch immediately and gather at the edge of the runway in 15 minutes." Lieutenant Colonel Maike nodded with satisfaction. Although these subordinates are all novices, they are with veterans. Just as courageous.

"Captain Firme stay here, I have something to talk to you." The wing commander stopped his flying captain while collecting the information on the briefing table.

"Sir, is there any problem?" Firme stepped forward and asked suspiciously.

"I agree to your application report. At the end of this month, you will have fifteen days of vacation. In addition, congratulations, captain, but unfortunately I cannot attend your wedding. Please tell the bride about mine. Blessings and apologies." Lieutenant Colonel Maike put the folder under his arm, then picked up the soft combat hat on the table and put it on his head.

"This is really great, thank you very much, Mr. Captain, I will definitely convey your blessings to Hilda." Firme was overjoyed. He quickly expressed his gratitude to his chief, he had been looking forward to this holiday for a long time. This time I can finally return to my hometown to get married.

"I heard that Major Garland is related to you. Maybe you can meet him in the sky this time. This time, the 26th Wing will **** us." Maike finished packing. Starting to walk outside the door, the captain also stepped closer to his side.

"This time the first brigade is dispatched. This is the first actual combat test of the new aircraft. The upper air team attaches great importance to this. I will lead the team personally this time and take your plane. Okay, See you by the runway in a while, Captain, I'm going to make flight preparations too." The wing captain waved his hand to the commander of the First Group, turned his head and walked along the path to the pilot preparation room.

The current state of development of the Luftwaffe can be said to have entered a historical peak. New technologies and equipment are continuously being introduced and applied, and various new tactical improvements are emerging one after another. There has also been rapid development in the quality and reserve training of Air Force personnel. Some experienced old instructors have been withdrawn from the front line, various aviation schools have also expanded their enrollment scale, and large-scale aviation popularization activities have also been launched in German primary and secondary schools.

The bureaucracy that had prevailed under Goering in the command organization was wiped out, and any deliberate delay and malfeasance would immediately be sent to a military court. According to Mirch, the Führer’s eyes have been fixed on the Air Force, and those who take the Führer’s teachings as deaf ears are seeking death, and they are not worthy of sympathy.

According to Xu Jun's vision, a large number of overlapping units within the Air Force have been eliminated, and the entire command system has been streamlined to one third of the previous level, but efficiency has been significantly improved. Some empty aviation wings were merged. For example, there are many such units in the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army, because each squadron is stationed at different airports in the country. Due to the different environments and conditions, the equipment and training conditions are also very different. Many squadrons are relatively remote due to their remote locations. Logistical supplies are more difficult, causing the unit to shrink and shrink, and in the end there is almost only one number left to bluff people.

At the same time, some experimental units were also formed under Xu Jun’s personal intervention. The 501 bomber wing was organized under this background. The starting point of the formation was to undertake the latest models. Training and testing, while testing the use and pros and cons of some new bomber tactics in actual combat.

Actually, this wing has not yet been fully staffed. Because of the delay in the production of new equipment, Juncker has no time to expand her production line, so the current force is only half of the regular wing. The first brigade will have the opportunity to be dispatched in this mission because it has completed all the equipment training first.

Preparing for the deployment of a bomber squadron is not an easy task. There are now busy ground crews on the runway of this numbered field airport. Fueling trucks passed through the rows of planes with their horns, and the fuel crew dragged the drained rubber oil sacs to the delivery truck on the side. The mechanic was doing the last inspection under the wing, and every inspection port was confirmed to be closed and locked. They must also ensure that all the gas cylinders on the plane are fully charged and the batteries are in the best condition. The ammunition drivers left the taxiway in a small truck that dragged a long stretch of ammunition pallets. These pallets are now empty, and all the aerial ammunition loaded on them has been hung into the aircraft's magazine.

Just when the preparations were about to end, the pilots came to the tarmac with their own equipment in twos and threes.

These pilots are carrying the latest equipped flight helmets. It is said that there is a tortuous story behind the birth of this helmet. This thing was inspired by the head of state in his spare time, so he drew a delicate design sketch on a napkin. The Führer seemed a little absent-minded at the time, but did not take away the work after the meal. How could the Führer's autograph design be left out, so Mirch, who was fortunate enough to have a meal at the time, took it with his eyes and hands.

After returning to Air Command, he took out this thing and handed it over to the Air Force Technical Bureau for research. As a result, the group of experts were all shocked by the advanced design in the sketch, and under the full impetus of Mirch, they produced this batch of trial versions within two weeks.

For half a year, there have been various miracles proving that the apostles of God did not feel like a silly name, and the pilots soon fell in love with this handsome helmet. A pair of wind-shielding goggles and a full-cover oxygen mask are also matched with the helmet. When fully equipped, the shape alone can be daunting.

According to Mirch, when the Führer saw the sample for the first time, he was extremely happy. At that time, the corners of his mouth trembled with excitement. He was silent for a long time in front of the helmet. Mirch swears to heaven and even looks. When the Führer arrived, there were shining tears in his eyelids. Think about it, what can make Yuan Capital cry excitedly, it must be an excellent thing.

Xu Jun was indeed stunned at the time. He never thought that Mirch would put a Star Wars Emperor flying helmet in front of him.

At the strong request of the head of state, the second batch of helmets was ordered to change their appearance. This batch of experimental products became out of print, only equipped in a few experimental teams, and the first batch was only 100 helmets.

Because of the special background of this helmet, it was once regarded as a certificate of approval by the head of state among pilots. Some ace pilots indicated that their superiors should use this helmet as a prize for military exploits. Of course, the actual effect of this helmet proved to be poor, far inferior to the later improved version, but because it was designed by the Führer, the appearance is also murderous, so even if the pilot does not wear it to fight, it will be placed As an ornament in the room.

Xu Jun was so dumbfounded that he finally agreed to create a batch of replicas as a reward for the trump card. At the same time, he strictly ordered the pilots to use it only as a symbol of honor and not to be used in combat. These dark helmets are painted on the outside. It is decorated with dazzling golden stripes, so that it is called a golden helmet by pilots. Only the most skilled pilots are qualified to hold the ace of the ace.

After the losses in the war, the first batch of original helmets left very few, and they are highly sought after in the future collectors circle. The auction price of each one far exceeds that of gold of equal weight. It is worthy of the name of another angle.

The pilots completed the final preparations next to their land planes, and with the help of the ground crew, they carried their umbrella bags on their backs. As they had to pass a large area of ​​water on the way, everyone had to bring a full set of water rescue Supplies, one or two swollen on the body looked a little bloated.

Under the command of the wing captain, all the pilots began to board the plane, and soon the entire tarmac was filled with the cyan smoke emitted when the engine started. The horsepowered engine roared unscrupulously, the hurricane blown by the huge propeller swept across the empty runway, and fourteen ju88-b3 bombers with beautiful streamlined cockpits slowly entered the taxiway~IndoMTL.com~Ground handling After confirming that the runway was ready and there were no obstacles, the personnel waved the command flag to the lead plane.

"Here is the red pilot. Please pay attention to the command station. This is the red pilot. I am already in place and request to take off." Lieutenant Colonel Maike pulled down the communication switch and requested takeoff from the command station. His flight captain was Arrived at the position of the radio operator, and the original operator is now waving his military cap vigorously by the runway to see off.

"You can take off, the red leader, I wish you all the best." The command platform sent a reply signal.

"Very good, let's set off." Maike gently pushed down the throttle lever, and controlled the rudder with both feet proficiently. After reaching the take-off speed, the Air Force lieutenant colonel decisively pulled up the joystick, ju88 two-wheeled light Leaving the runway and adjusting his balance slightly, Maike retracted the landing gear and the plane began to slowly climb around the airport.
