"Turn off the engine." There was some tension inside the junker-88 bomber.
Just now, in order to drop the bomb, they had to continue to move forward under the fire of British warships. As a result, a 40mm shell hit the engine on the right!
If it is the 40mm shell of bofoss anti-aircraft gun, this gun may directly explode the engine and even tear half of the wing. In that case, the bomber on our side can't expect to fly back.
But now, the power of the British Bang Bang gun is quite limited.
Only by comparing the shell casings, we can know that this kind of shell is much smaller than boforth's shell and has less propellant, so the power is correspondingly very small.
This shot only broke the engine, but the wing was still intact.
First of all, shut down the engine, so that the fuel can not continue to leak out. If it ignites a fire and burns half of the wing, it can't fly back.
Successfully shut down the engine. At the same time, the fire extinguishing device has been started automatically. Soon, there is no small fire in it, and a small stream of light smoke continues to emerge from it.
Looking out from his cabin, you can see the three blade propeller. One blade is bent, and the whole propeller is fixed.
Beschel pushed his lever hard. Because the engine on one side had stopped, the aircraft had a serious yaw. He had to use the torque of the tail rudder to keep the aircraft balanced.
"Let's go home now." Bessel's calmness infected the people around him.
A junker-88 has four crew members, who now belong to a whole.
Can they fly back if an engine is destroyed? From here to the base, there are thousands of kilometers of long sea flights. Once there are problems halfway, they will certainly die.
But jump down and escape now? Of course not. This is still the territory of the British. If they go down, they will be prisoners!
Bessel was quite calm at this time. The bomb had been dropped and his mission was over. Now, what he had left was to return with his crew.
If he had just been given a chance to choose again, he would still continue to attack. That was his mission. Even if the bomber was hit and exploded in the air on the spot, it was worth it. The warship below was much more valuable than his bomber.
As a bomber pilot, this is what he must do.
Now that the bombing mission has been completed, his new mission is to fly the plane back.
Can you? He is not 100% sure, but he must look like he wants to give his companions confidence!
There was only one engine left, and his flight speed immediately slowed down. Now, he carefully pulled the lever to make the plane climb up at a small angle.
The higher the altitude, the thinner the air, and the smaller the resistance. He must rise to a height of at least 2000 meters before he can use the existing fuel to return to the base.
The junker-88 bomber became sluggish, as if it were an old man.
JUMO 211 engine is rotating at full speed. At this time, the advantages of liquid cooling engine are displayed incisively and vividly.
This engine is a 12 cylinder, V-type engine designed by junkers engine company, which was established separately from junkers aircraft company in 1923. Compared with Mercedes Benz's db601 series, it is slightly larger in volume, but has low fuel consumption and reliable performance. It is very suitable for medium-sized aircraft such as tactical bombers.
If it is an air-cooled engine, it is easy to overheat when operating at full power at low altitude, especially when the flight speed is relatively low. Even the B-29 was very headache caused by the problem of engine overheating at the beginning.
But now, the liquid cooled engine doesn't matter. The cooler constantly radiates heat. Moreover, the cooler is behind the propeller, and the effect is very good.
There is no problem with the engine running at full power for a long time.
In the back seat, Muller, a machine gunner, looked warily at the rear hemisphere of his bomber.
This medium-sized bomber cannot have multiple gun positions like large bombers, but like light bombers, it can only provide simple protection. For example, ordinary bombers are equipped with a gunner at the back.
However, after all, this is a medium-sized bomber with a large volume, so more machine guns can be set up.
If you look from the outside, you can see that there are machine guns in the front and rear of the cockpit.
There is a mg 81j single barrel rotary 7.92mm machine gun on the front windshield a, shooting forward from the windshield of the main cabin.
There are two mg 81j single barrel rotary 7.92mm machine guns on armored seat B behind the main cockpit, which are installed in two different positions to cover the rear upper hemisphere area.
At the same time, there is a mg 81Z double barrel rotary 7.92mm machine gun on the armored Bola pod below the cabin to cover the lower rear hemisphere area.
In addition to these, there can be external machine guns to replace when performing other tasks.
Muller is a novice. He has just joined the air force for half a year. After passing the complex test, shaking many circles on various rollers, he can still aim at the target and shoot down, he became a machine gunner.
This is his first time on the battlefield.
He was just a spectator during the bombing. There was no enemy plane here. Now his side has begun to return. It is said that he should relax, but somehow, he always had an ominous premonition.
This hunch, in the next moment, became a reality. From the billowing smoke, a two winged plane jumped out and jumped at its own plane from the rear!
"There's a target behind!" Muller shouted. Then he stared his eyes firmly at the sight. As soon as the other party approached, he fired immediately!
He held his breath at this moment.
In the distance, the target was getting closer and closer. It was a swordfish attack aircraft with two wings. At this time, in the open cockpit, a pilot was flying angrily.
Yes, it's Jack.
The whole base is being bombed by Germany. In this case, Jack, as a naval aviation soldier, has a deep sense of powerlessness. His plane is too backward to catch up with any German bomber and attack!
Almost all German bombers fly at a speed of 300 or 400 kilometers per hour. The swordfish attack aircraft rises at full speed and flies to 225 kilometers per hour. The speed gap makes Jack hover on the battlefield and wait for his chance.
No one noticed him. The bombers all focused on their goals. They didn't pay attention to this small plane at all.
Jack's heart is suffering. When he continues to fly for a few minutes, he finally finds the target. The wounded bomber is very slow!
Catch up, attack!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
