Battle of the Third Reich

"Sir, the control surface of the left horizontal tail wing just fell off. ●⌒," Captain Firm said loudly to the captain of the rear after firing the **** of the machine gun.

"I feel it, damn, the speed of the right engine is decreasing." Lieutenant Colonel Maike pulled the joystick hard, trying to control the balance of the plane.

The egg-shaped cabin of the 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, the two windshields at the bottom had completely fallen off, and the violent airflow was constantly blowing into the cabin from the gap.

Another series of bullet holes started from the front of the left side of the cabin, traversed the entire cockpit diagonally along the metal floor, and extended to the rear armored baffle. Bullets and fragments of shells destroyed the altimeter and gyrocompass and interrupted some cables. Fortunately, Maiko and others are that most of the flight instruments have been retained without damage.

As the formation leader, Lieutenant Colonel Maike rushed ahead of everyone. The gray ju88 with the squadron leader's logo quickly charged like a thunder to the British base. The engine issued a whistle like a train whistle when diving at high speed. The British air defense command on the ground soon discovered this new enemy .

Although the first part of the ju88b has changed a lot, the overall frame remains the same, so the British on the ground recognized this model that made them shiver. The German double-engine high-speed bomber was the most threatening target. The British quickly abandoned the hunt for the rash bf110 and turned their firepower to the murderous Junkers double-engine.

It is a new type of enemy aircraft. From the telescope, the British commander was keenly aware of the differences in the shape of the enemy aircraft, which made him increase the threat of these offending enemies by several levels.

At this time, the entire ground air defense system has fallen into a rage, and the personnel and weapons have been warmed up and run in. In this case, Lieutenant Colonel Maike drove his landline into the storm of fire.

The leader captain became the primary target for fire collection, and almost all units with adequate range were firing towards this leader. The British army also discovered that the Germans had bad intentions. The guy didn't cover up the purpose of the attack at all, and the plane rushed directly at the area of ​​the central command post. Obviously the Germans already knew that these buildings were the key to the entire Royal Air Force, and it must be that some of the traitors sold valuable information to the enemy.

The British ground air defense system is still in its original state, and there is no substantial difference in the level of the guard target. 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 by the naked human eye. This kind of thing can barely threaten the fixed target at high altitude and low speed. In the face of the current mid-low altitude high-speed raid target, they rely on their slow response speed. It can only be carried out blindly without any effect at all.

The greatest threat to Lieutenant Colonel Maike is the small caliber anti-aircraft positions at both ends of the runway. These are all single-tube 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns imitated by the British mainland. These anti-aircraft guns can be controlled by an anti-aircraft fire control command. The entire group of guns can fire in accordance with the instructions of the control station. As a result, Maiko's captain plane was surrounded by a gray-black barrage in an instant.

The captain of the German bomber wing made an arguably lower-level mistake. He launched a dive attack prematurely. At this time, the aircraft was approaching the dive limit speed. If it is not decelerated in time, the aircraft is likely to disintegrate due to structural damage. The issue is. How is it possible to slow down when the enemy is collecting fire, this is equivalent to stopping when the enemy is aiming.

Looking at the speedometer pointer is crossing the red area, and now it has reached 600 kilometers per hour. For a bomber of this size, the state at this time is very scary. Mai Ke promptly ordered his subordinates to adjust their postures. Ju88b did not install a dive deceleration plate, and if there was a difference in the dive, it would definitely cause disaster.

Michael 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, so that the British could truly feel their danger. If he can benefit this mission, he can always dive into **** like this.

The British on the ground have a stronger perception. They feel that they are shooting a flash of lightning, and the aiming hand is too late to adjust the muzzle. Don't mention what advance distance you entered, you can only blindly follow the feeling of slap. Meco's bomber rushed from three kilometers to a height of 900 meters in one breath. With its speed, it broke through the most dangerous small caliber anti-aircraft barrage. Although it only took a few seconds, it still brought ju88b. No small harm.

The captain's flying skills are very good, at the last moment facing the tipping point. He pulled up the nose to level the plane.

"We are on top of the target." The bombardier roared excitedly, pulling down the bomber switch.

Two concrete destruction bombs, each weighing one and a half tons, left the rack in an instant. In the sight of the bomber, the two bulky aerial bombs seemed to stand still in mid-air, and then swayed and changed their attitudes. Down quickly rushed towards the target building.

At this time, the leader plane had already passed through the center of the base, and unfortunately broke into an anti-aircraft position. There were fourteen or five airport nests distributed on the position, and some British soldiers began to shoot at this arrogant German aircraft fanatically.

It is indeed arrogant. The crazy dive attack of the leader aircraft was almost impossible to replicate, so it was completely out of touch with the subsequent bombers. Lieutenant Colonel Maiko did a perfect job of attracting firepower. He paid attention to the ground air defense firepower of the entire base. Attracted to himself, especially after the two giant bombs lifted off the cement roof of the command post, all the British officers who realized what it represented represented the same order and ordered the subordinates to turn down the firepower and must kill the killing German aircraft. , Revenge for the officers in the command post.

Now not only machine guns and artillery, but even ordinary infantrymen are holding rifles and firing at this German bomber that is still hovering at low altitudes. The other party's performance is simply a public humiliation of the British. Where did they know that at this time Lieutenant Colonel Maike really could not tell the pain, he could swear to the sky that there was absolutely no ostentatious idea, only because of the problem with the control of the aircraft, now he could barely turn to the right. Suddenly, a faint white smoke was drawn from one side of ju88b, and the British people who saw this scene were very excited and became more enthusiastic about shooting. At this time, of course, it is necessary to beat down the water dog.

Speaking of which, it was not more than half a minute before Maiko launched the attack. The subsequent German bomber finally caught up with the captain. A dozen heavy concrete destruction bombs dropped from the sky, and the pilots paid tribute to their captains with their record. And prove to him that he really did not misunderstand the people, they do have professional qualities matching the rank.

The power of a ton and a half of aerial bombs is extremely amazing. In a moment, a dozen huge fireballs were raised in the core area, and a small mushroom-shaped cloud rolled up. This type of aerospace missile with a solid armor-piercing shell uses a delayed fuze, which uses gravity to penetrate the concrete shield of the air defense bunker. Then it exploded inside, and even after being hit by such a bomb, even a thick layer of cement would become a pile of rubble due to 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 exploded into the sky, the base's air defense fire network suddenly fell into chaos. All positions lost their unified command, and the firepower began to mess up. Some machine gun shooting points could only fight on their own. The soldiers turned their muzzles blindly to fire at the nearest target.

Lieutenant Colonel Juke turned a crooked circle above 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. Then they moved closer to their captain.

The leader plane looked miserable at this time, completely lost its original beautiful appearance, the wings on both sides were covered with large and small holes, and the section of the rear fuselage near the tail wing control surface was beaten like a honeycomb.

Fortunately, the two engines did not seem to receive any damage, and the wing control surfaces may still be in normal control. As long as these two are still under the pilot's control, the aircraft can at least maintain normal climb.

The German bomber has always been backed up, and Ju88 will not be different. What is worrying is the pilot and crew. After the baptism of that kind of bomb rain, someone must have been injured. But what happened to the pilots happened. All three of the leader said they were okay, and they didn't even scratch their skins. Unscathed. This must be a gift from God. After cheering, many people began to draw a cross on their chests.

However, although the person was okay, the state of the aircraft was worrying. Everyone could see that this guy had received serious injuries. Now just relying on the pilot's exquisite skills to barely stay in the air.

"I ordered Sergeant Rudolph from the first team to replace me as the formation leader and lead the squadron back." Lieutenant Colonel Maiko 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 is out of control, it may collide with the adjacent aircraft in the air, so for the safety of everyone, the leader aircraft must leave the formation and return to the flight 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 reduce the speed of the aircraft. My fuel has leaked a lot before. The pressure of the hydraulic system has been declining. In this state, I can’t cross the strait and fly back to the base to land. I plan to descend the altitude, try to fly to our control area, and then find a field airport or a forced landing in the field." Tell his people about his decision.

"We will always be with you, sir, until you see you make a successful landing." The leader of the first team said on the radio.

"There are still a lot of enemy aircraft in the vicinity, 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 home by yourself. It is not easy for a single plane to attract the attention of enemy aircraft. There must be crews in the formation that have been damaged by air defense fire. The most correct choice now is to return at high speed immediately. I can't let everyone accompany you Take my risk, you have to believe in the level of your captain, not to mention that your squadron captain is with me. Now I don’t want to continue to discuss this issue with you. This is my final decision, which cannot be changed. This is the captain’s. Command!" Lieutenant Colonel Maiko loudly dismissed his subordinate's suggestion. Although he knew that it was all good intentions, the problem was that he would never allow the entire formation to fall into crisis because of his personal safety.

"Observe, sir." The pilots answered loudly on the radio.

"Rudolph, the squadron will be handed over to you, I hope you don't live up to my expectations for you."

"Understood, sir, good luck, we will wait for you to return at the base." The fleet began to turn to the return route, the bomber fleet was lined up in a neat formation, and the pilot saluted the leader in the cockpit. Said goodbye to his brave captain.

Lieutenant Colonel Maike and his two subordinates saluted the distant fleet at the same time, and then the aircraft began to turn slowly. He was ready to fly at low altitude at cruising speed, so as to avoid being discovered by enemy fighters and avoiding the enemy. The eyes and ears of the military air defense lookout. Anyway, it is only 20 kilometers away from the German army control area, even if the plane can’t hold on, it can find a flat open space to force landing. As long as you don’t land in the enemy’s control area, you don’t have to worry about leaking equipment.

Just halfway through the plane, Maiko felt a sudden kick in the pedals.

"Oh, forgive me." Lieutenant Colonel Maike stepped **** the pedals, but the body did not respond accordingly.

"Our rudder is stuck, sir." Flim shouted loudly.

"I know, it's unbelievable." Lieutenant Colonel Maiko felt a scalp tingling, which meant that the plane had lost its ability to steer, and the broken ju88 was taking them straight toward downtown London.
