Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 310: Bishan Air Combat (1)

Not flying for two days in a row is simply a torture for these squadrons. "≤, because the road was damaged by rain, the ground crew of the brigade arrived much later than planned. Therefore, as soon as these logistics personnel arrived at the base, they were immediately involved in the modification and maintenance of the aircraft before taking a rest.

These fighters are compact war machines, not the Renault trucks operated by the French ground crew. After each flight, they must be maintained in strict accordance with the procedures in the manual to ensure that there will be no accidents during the fierce air combat maneuvers. . The ground personnel of the task force are carefully selected professional technicians, and because of the particularity of the unit, no mistakes are tolerated at all. They followed the group all the way from Germany to a distant foreign country. The ground crew and the pilots have long been between A deep friendship has been established, and their superb technology has been recognized and trusted by everyone.

For two days, the hangar of the base was full of noisy and busy scenes. In the end, the Germans finally completed all the preparations for the flight within the scheduled time. Speru was not idle during this time. She found more aerial maps. After comparing and checking with each other, she chose a route she thought was the safest. Although it looked a little detour, it was always more lost than halfway. Be strong.

Early in the morning of September 21st, everyone ate breakfast in the restaurant. The French chef meticulously prepared French omelettes and steaks for all pilots who participated in the operation. This time, the flight mileage is very long and physical exertion. It will be very big, some high-calorie foods can help the pilot to support the long journey.

According to the original plan, the task force took off at 7 o’clock on time. After being formed over the airport, the fleet turned to the north-northeast and crossed the border of French Indochina and China over Gaoping County, heading for the first place. This landmark points forward to Baise County in China.

When it reached the sky above Baise County, the fleet had climbed to a height of 3,000 meters. Looking from the top to the bottom, row upon row of street houses in the county were clearly visible. German pilots could recognize the black tiled roofs and gray slab streets. And the constant stream of people on the streets. At this moment, the citizens below seemed to have discovered the unannounced cluster of aircraft above their heads. There was commotion and chaos on the streets. From a high altitude, it looked like a colony of ants attacked by boiling water. In an instant, the streets and alleys were everywhere running and fleeing. Citizens.

"They treat us as Japanese planes." Speru looked at the chaos below. Can not help frowning.

"Although this place is still in the hands of the Chinese government, it is only two hundred kilometers away from the Japanese-occupied Nanning, within the combat radius of Japanese bombers. In other words, this place is considered a frontline." It seems that Shi Bo was heard. Ru's sigh. Captain Horst Young explained on the radio.

"Fortunately they didn't hit us with anti-aircraft guns." Lieutenant Kakri, the technical adjutant, interjected.

"Anti-aircraft guns? In such a small county?" Captain Yang scoffed at the technical adjutant's words.

"The Chinese are extremely lack of air defense weapons. The airspace in most of their cities is open. Japanese Army bombers can often drive straight for hundreds of kilometers. Except for a few key cities, they rarely suffer from ground fire." Yang The captain continued to supplement his previous words over the radio.

"Climb to four kilometers, speed up, and leave the sky above the city as soon as possible." Sporu gave the order, and the fleet immediately began to climb quickly following the command of the captain.

At this time, all FW190s in this group have been painted with grass-green jungle paintings. In order to facilitate identification, a black and white stripe identification band has been painted on the tail rudder. The iron cross machine emblem on the fuselage shrank a circle, and the black cross part of the emblem was cut out, leaving only the original white polyline border. The positions of the white numbers of the squadrons of the aircraft have not been changed, while the pilot's personality logo on the side of the cockpit and the team crest on the hood are retained.

Because it is the first squadron of the first squadron, the number of the aircraft is painted in white. If it is the second squadron, use red coding, the third squadron uses yellow, the fourth is white, and the fifth continues to use red. Repeatedly, the Luftwaffe used this color difference to identify the squadron belonging to the aircraft. The squadron belonging to the first squadron is a blank space after the number, the squadron belonging to the second squadron adds a horizontal line after the number, and the third squadron uses a vertical line. A dot was drawn on the fourth brigade. In addition, some command organizations, such as the units directly under the brigade headquarters of each brigade, all use green numbers, while the alliance departments above the brigade use blue numbers to show their identities.

Speaking of which, Speru and her squadron should use the green number and call sign, but because this time she only brought one squadron. Therefore, the same paint was used as the first squadron. The only difference was that she and the subordinates of the directly subordinate squad had the identification mark of the squadron commander on the fuselage.

After leaving the area of ​​Baise County, the German fleet has climbed to an altitude of 4,000 meters and flew toward the north-northwest at a cruising speed of 530 kilometers per hour. The lonely JU88B became particularly conspicuous in the fleet. It is said that most of the reason for the panic on the ground just now comes from her.

The weather over Guangxi that day was very good, very suitable for flying, the clouds were thin and loose, and there was no strong air current, so the flight process of the fleet was very smooth, almost pressing the planned route, and the course did not shift. .

Fokkerwolf has not modified the cockpit yet. As the altitude increases, the temperature of the cockpit will drop to a certain extent. When the summer sun in southern China shines into the cabin from the side of the cockpit, it will bring it to the pilot. A lot of warmth. Thin clouds flicked under the wings from time to time, and the blue sky was peaceful and tranquil. The German pilots untied the leadership of their flight suits and enjoyed this rare comfort.

Speru carefully checked the meter and confirmed that all the readings were correct. Then, with the joystick between his legs, he pulled out the thermos from the water bottle holder beside him, and poured himself a cup of steaming coffee.

FW190 has a unique design. Dr. Tan Ke equipped her with a device called a command system, which is actually a gear-driven mechanical computer. This sophisticated machine can automatically complete part of the auxiliary operations of the flight. For example, it can automatically adjust the fuel-air-fuel ratio or the pitch of the propeller. It can also automatically adjust the engine speed and pressure as the pilot operates the throttle. This was an extremely advanced design for fighter jets at the time, especially during fierce air combat. Avoid man-made operational errors due to busyness, and save pilots a lot of energy during long-distance flights. At this time, Major Speru was sipping coffee while looking at the map in the map pocket on his leg. Through the transparent celluloid film, the red pencil outlined the route map very brightly.

"There are mountains everywhere. I have never seen so many peaks concentrated in such a large area." A pilot said with emotion.

"Then you have never flown in the Alps, but the terrain there is completely different from here." His companion replied.

"The Chinese call this Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and we have already entered their Guizhou province." Captain Yang has become the China pass in the fleet.

"Keep the communication frequency open, Angel, have you searched for the agreed navigation radio signal?" Sporu fastened the cap of the thermos bottle and held the joystick again.

Because the stand-alone radio call code on this JU88 fuselage is AH, the standard call sign of the Luftwaffe should be "Angel Heinrich", but because there is only this one at the moment, Sporu directly simplified it For Angel.

"Not yet, the signal received by the direction finder is very messy, I don't think I can count on this." The JU88B radio operator reported.

"It doesn't matter. Fortunately, we prepared early." Sporu turned his head to look at the formation of the fleet. Because it was an extreme range flight and not a combat mission at the same time, the flight team arranged a regular transition flight. Formation, each team arranged into a four-machine fingertip formation, and the four teams formed a larger fingertip formation. Sporu’s team leader flew at the forefront of all the formations.

"Change to a double-layer **** formation, the fourth team stayed, and the other teams followed me to climb to a height of 5,000 meters." Sporu gave the order, and the formation change training on the way was the usual practice of the brigade. The purpose of the captain is to demand himself by the standards of war at all times.

As the flight route extends, the flight process becomes boring, but these are ace pilots, and some are ways to have fun on the way. Especially the two trump cards of the second team, when they were so bored, they still did a few consecutive rolls to relieve their fatigue, but of course they were scolded by Major Speru. After flying for more than three hours, the voyage has passed two-thirds. The fuel in the auxiliary tank has already been used up. The pilots activated the switch and the engine began to use the fuel carried in the body tank, because the return journey was also considered. The crew did not abandon the empty auxiliary fuel tank~IndoMTL.com~The white leader. It seems that our route does not have the slightest deviation. Below is the seventh confirmation point on the map. The destination is only 370 kilometers away. ,victory is in sight. "Captain JU88B's voice came from the headset.

Speru pressed the communication button on the joystick, and the aileron slightly deflected the fuselage.

"Anshun, this is how you pronounce it." Shi Boru looked at the map on his lap.

"Keep the current altitude, Angel, we will arrive safely." The flight captain said from the side of the cockpit, looking at the medium bomber under the wings.

"I'll watch this guy for you, sir." The White No. 15 piloted by Lieutenant Leinster, the captain of the fourth team, waved its wings. The fourth team was divided into two long wing crews to **** them on both sides of the bomber. The five planes lined up in an inverted V-shaped formation, as if they were tied together by an invisible wire. Speru shook the wing and replied, and then returned to straighten the fuselage.

The monthly ticket fight at the beginning of the month is very fierce. I hope that the book friends will support it. It will be doubled until the 5th. Please vote for the book as soon as possible. Thank you for your support. (To be continued.)
