Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 185: Go deep behind enemy lines (1)
"Sir, the control surface of the left horizontal tail just fell down." Captain Firme held the **** of the rear-firing machine gun and reported loudly to the wing captain.
"I feel it, damn, the speed of the right engine is dropping." Lieutenant Colonel Maike squeezed the joystick hard, trying to control the balance of the plane.
The egg-shaped cabin of ju88b, which was originally clean and tidy and full of modern dryness, has now completely changed its appearance. A row of bullet holes appeared on the streamlined windshield at the front of the cabin, and the two windshield glasses at the bottom had completely fallen off, and violent airflow was continuously blowing into the cabin from the gap.
Another string of bullet holes started from the front left side of the cabin, traversed the entire cockpit diagonally along the metal floor, and extended to the rear armored partition. There were almost a dozen holes in the front and rear. Bullets and shell fragments destroyed the altimeter and gyro compass, breaking some cables. Fortunately for Maike and others, most of the flight instruments were preserved without damage.
Lieutenant Colonel Maike, as the leader of the formation, rushed ahead of everyone. The gray ju88 with the squadron leader's logo charged toward the British base like a thunder. When diving at high speed, the engine screamed like a train whistle. The British air defense commander on the ground quickly discovered this new enemy. .
Although the front part of the ju88b has been changed a lot, the overall frame remains the same, so the British on the ground recognized this chilling model at a glance. The German twin-engine high-speed bomber is the most threatening target. The British hurriedly gave up the hunt for those reckless BF110s, and turned their firepower to the murderous Junkers double-shot.
A new model of enemy aircraft. From the telescope, the British commander keenly discovered the difference in the appearance of the enemy aircraft, which allowed him to raise the threat of these incoming enemies by several levels.
At this time, the entire ground air defense system has fallen into a frenzy. The personnel and weapons have been preheated and run-in, and they are in their most exciting peak state. In this situation, Lieutenant Colonel Maike drove his landline head-on into the storm of fire.
The leader of the team became the primary target of the fire. Almost all units with sufficient range are firing at the lead aircraft. At this time, the British army also found that the Germans were not good at coming. The guy didn't hide the purpose of the attack at all, and the plane pounced directly at the area of the central command post. Obviously, the Germans already knew that these buildings were the key to the entire British Royal Air Force, and it must have been some traitors who sold their valuable intelligence to the enemy.
The British ground air defense system is still in its original state, and there is no substantial difference due to the level of guarding targets. The periphery is still a circle of medium and large anti-aircraft artillery. Because of the lack of radar guidance, it can only be aimed with the naked eye. This kind of thing can barely threaten the high-altitude and low-speed target with a fixed heading. Facing the current medium-low-altitude high-speed raid target, rely on Their slow reaction speed. It can only blindly beat it, and it has no effect at all.
The biggest threat to Lieutenant Colonel Maike is the small-caliber antiaircraft artillery positions at both ends of the runway. These are all British imitation single-barreled 40mm Bofors antiaircraft artillery. These antiaircraft artillery can be controlled and commanded by an antiaircraft artillery. Controlled. The entire artillery group can fire in conjunction with the instructions of the control station. As a result, Maike's captain was instantly surrounded by a gray-black barrage.
The captain of the German Bomber Wing made a low-level mistake. He launched a dive attack prematurely. At this time, the aircraft was already close to the maximum dive speed. If the aircraft is not slowed down in time, the aircraft is likely to suffer structural damage. The volley disintegrated. The question is, how can it slow down when the enemy gathers fire? This is equivalent to stopping when the enemy is aiming.
I looked at the speedometer pointer crossing the red zone. It has now reached 600 kilometers per hour. For a bomber of this size, the state at this time is very scary. Maike ordered his subordinates to adjust their postures in time. The ju88b did not install a dive speed bump. Any difference in the dive would definitely lead to disaster.
Maike is determined to use his landline as a bait to attract the enemy's ground fire as much as possible. He gritted his teeth and continued to lower the nose to make the British truly feel his own danger. If it can be beneficial to this mission , He can always dive into **** like this.
The British people on the ground have a stronger perception. They feel that they are shooting a bolt of lightning, and the aimer has no time to adjust the muzzle. Don't even mention what advance distance is input. They can only blindly follow it and feel like a blow. Maike’s bomber rushed from 3,000 meters to 900 meters in one breath, and with its speed, it broke through the most dangerous small-caliber anti-aircraft barrage. Although only a few seconds, it still brought ju88b. Not a small injury.
The wing captain’s flying skills are very superb. At the last moment when facing the tipping point, he raised the nose and leveled the plane.
"We are right on top of the target." The bombardier roared excitedly, and turned down the bomb switch.
Two concrete sabotage bombs each weighing a ton and a half left the magazine in an instant. In the bombardier’s scope, the two heavy aerial bombs seemed to stagnate in mid-air, and then swayed and changed. Posture, the warhead quickly rushed down towards the target building.
At this time, the leader plane had passed the center of the base, and unfortunately broke into an anti-aircraft gun position. There were fourteen or five airport nests on that position. Some British soldiers began to frantically toward the arrogant Germany. Airplane shooting.
It is indeed arrogant. The previous crazy dive attack of the leader plane is almost impossible to replicate, so it is completely out of touch with the subsequent bombers. Lieutenant Colonel Maike has indeed completed the task of attracting firepower perfectly. He took the entire base ground air defense firepower Attention was drawn to me, especially after the two giant bombs lifted off the cement roof of the command post, all the British officials who realized what it meant were invariably ordered the subordinates to switch their firepower, and they had to kill the heavenly killer. The German aircraft, revenge for the officers in the command post.
Now it is not only a machine gun and antiaircraft artillery. Even ordinary infantrymen were holding rifles and firing at the German bomber that was still hovering at low altitude. The opponent's current performance was simply blatantly humiliating the British. Where do they know. At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Maike really couldn't tell. He could swear to God that there was absolutely no idea of showing off. Only because of problems with the control of the plane, he could only barely turn to the right. A faint white smoke suddenly appeared on one side of the ju88b's wing, and the British people who saw this scene were very upset. More and more fanatical into the shooting activities. At this time, of course, the dog must be beaten up.
Speaking of speaking, it was not more than half a minute before Maike launched the attack at this time, and the subsequent German bombers finally followed the captain's footsteps. More than a dozen heavy concrete sabotage bombs fell from the sky. The pilots used their record to pay tribute to their wing captain, and proved to him that he did not misunderstand the wrong person, and that they did have the professionalism that matched the rank.
The power of the one and a half ton of aerial bombs is extremely astonishing. In an instant, dozens of huge fireballs rose up in the core area, and small mushroom-shaped clouds were tumbling from gunpowder. This kind of aerial bomb with a strong armor-piercing shell uses a delay fuze, which uses gravity to penetrate the concrete protective layer of the air defense shelter. Then it caused an explosion inside, and even the thick cement layer would crack into a pile of rubble due to the shock.
As the base command center was destroyed, it triggered a total collapse of the air defense fire control system, when the fire control center was blown into the sky. The air defense firepower network of the base suddenly fell into chaos. The various positions lost their unified command, and the firepower began to mess up. Some machine gun shooting points could only fight separately. The soldiers turned their muzzles blindly and fired at the targets closest to them.
Ju88 of Lieutenant Colonel Maike drove a crooked circle on the airport, and finally began to straighten up and slowly climb towards the sky. The crew of the squadron completed the bombing mission, and they began to regroup, and then moved closer to their wing captain.
The lead plane looked miserable at this time. The original beautiful appearance was completely lost. The wings on both sides were covered with large and small holes, and the section of the rear fuselage near the control surface of the tail was beaten like a honeycomb.
Fortunately, the two engines did not seem to have received any damage, and the wing control surfaces may still be under normal control. As long as these two items are still in the pilot's control, the aircraft can at least maintain a normal climb.
German bombers always have control backups, and the ju88 will not be any different. What makes people worry is that the pilots and crews must be injured after the baptism of bombardment. But something that surprised the pilots happened. All three in the lead plane said that they were all right, not even a piece of skin was scratched, and they were unscathed. This must be a gift from God, and many people began to cross their chests while cheering.
However, although there is nothing wrong with the people, the state of the plane is worrying. Everyone can see that this guy has received serious damage, and now he just barely stayed in the air with the pilot's superb skills.
"I ordered Sergeant Rudolph of the first team to replace me as the team leader and lead the squadron to return." Lieutenant Colonel Maike issued the latest order on the radio.
The control system of the leader aircraft has been damaged, which has threatened the flight safety of other aircraft in the formation. Because once the aircraft loses control, it may collide with an adjacent aircraft in the air, so for the safety of everyone, the leader aircraft must leave the formation and return alone.
"My engine is still running, but there are some problems with the parameters. It should have been damaged in the previous battle. I cannot maintain such a high speed for a long time. I must lower the speed of the aircraft. My fuel leaked before. After a lot, the pressure of the hydraulic system has been declining. In this state, it is impossible for me to cross the strait and fly back to the base to land. I am going to descend, try my best to fly to our control area, and then find a field airport or emergency landing in the field. "The wing captain told his men about his decision.
"We will stay with you, sir, until we see you make a successful landing." The leader of the first team said over the radio.
"There are still a large number of enemy aircraft active nearby. We can't let you fly alone. At least we can provide some protection on the side."
“That’s why I ordered you to return on your own. It’s even harder for a single aircraft to attract the attention of enemy aircraft. There must be some crew members in the formation that have been damaged by anti-aircraft fire. The most correct option is to return immediately at high speed. I can’t Let everyone accompany me on the adventure. You have to trust the level of your squadron captain, not to mention that your squadron captain is also with me. Now I don’t want to continue discussing this issue with you. This is my final decision and cannot be changed. This is Command of the wing captain!" Lieutenant Colonel Maiko loudly refuted the suggestions of his subordinates. Although he knew it was all kind, the problem was that he would never allow the entire formation to fall into crisis because of his personal safety.
"Yes, sir." The pilots replied loudly over the radio.
"Rudolph, the squadron is left to you, I hope you will not let down my expectations of you."
"Understand, sir, good luck, we will be waiting for your return at the base." The fleet began to turn to the return route, the bomber fleet formed a neat formation, and the pilot saluted the lead plane in the cockpit. Reluctantly bid farewell to his brave captain.
Lieutenant Colonel Maike and his two subordinates saluted the departing fleet at the same time, and then the plane began to turn slowly. He was going to fly at low altitude at cruising speed, so that he could avoid being spotted by enemy fighters~IndoMTL. com~ can also avoid the eyes and ears of enemy air defense lookout posts. Anyway, here is only 20 kilometers away from the German Army's control zone. Even if the plane can't hold on, you can find a flat space for an emergency landing. As long as you don't land in the enemy's control zone, you don't have to worry about equipment leaks.
Just when the plane was turning halfway, Maike felt a sudden stop in his foot.
"Oh, forgive me." Lieutenant Colonel Maike stepped **** the pedals, but the body did not respond accordingly.
"Our rudder is stuck, sir." Firme yelled.
"I know, it's unbelievable." Lieutenant Colonel Maike felt a numb scalp, which meant that the plane had lost its ability to steer, and the broken ju88 was flying straight towards the London city.
