A junker-88 was flying low on the sea. Bessel turned his head and looked at the engine on the right again.

It had long stopped rotating and the propeller did not move. In this way, the propeller brought great resistance and slowed down the speed of the aircraft.

Originally, Bessel wanted to fly at high altitude to reduce air resistance in order to return to land. However, due to the long voyage, the oxygen in the oxygen bottle was exhausted, so he had to lower the plane to a low altitude with sufficient air.

Now, every minute of flight is quite long.

There was a rhythmic shaking sound from the plane, and Bessel looked to the left again with calm eyes.

The vibration just came from the engine on the left. Because the engine on the right was destroyed, the engine on the left has been used all the time. The JUMO 211 engine running at full power is now on strike.

The vibration must have been caused by the misfire of several cylinders inside.

I hope the engine can hold on!

Bessel thought as he asked his navigator, "how far is it from the land?"

"There are thirty kilometers left." Said the navigator.

Thirty kilometers left! Bessel quickly calculated in his heart that the current speed is 200 kilometers per hour, 30 kilometers, about 10 minutes.

Even if we don't find the airport in the end, as long as we get to the coastline and make a forced landing at sea, we will be saved.

Of course, it's best to protect the bomber.

"Hold on, we will fly back intact." Bescher said.

Along the way, Bessel has been encouraging his subordinates. His self-confidence infects everyone.

The plane continued to fly low and the altitude was still falling. Bessel tried to hold the lever to prevent his plane from falling and yawing.

Time is measured in seconds.

Finally, land was seen ahead.

In the vast sea, there is nothing, so there is an error in navigation all the way. Now, when you see the land, the navigator immediately compares it with the map and determines its position. It is only 15 kilometers away from the nearest air force base!

"Hold on for a few more minutes and we'll be home." Bescher said.

Keep going!

The plane is flying unsteadily. At the same time, the vibration of the engine is getting bigger and bigger.

Suddenly, the huge roar disappeared.

Bessel looked to his left. The propeller stopped and the engine had stalled!

A plane that has lost power is like a big stone. It will quickly fall to the ground. Relying on the current height, it can't go back at all!

"Restart." Bessel said to the co pilot on his other side.

Restart the engine, this is the only option, whether it can be started or not!

Bessel's confidence infected the co pilot. The co pilot pressed each switch, and then turned the air start knob.

"Buzz, buzz." With a black smoke, the engine started again!

Everyone cheered.

Bessel is also very excited. It seems that God has not abandoned his side!

For two minutes, the engine stopped again.

Bessel didn't ask to continue to start. There is a runway in front of him!

At this time, on the far apron, the returning fighters have been arranged neatly. The ground crew and pilots are looking at the aircraft in the sky with attention.

Now, only Becher's plane hasn't come back!

"Look, our bomber!" Cried a ground attendant.

Everyone looked over and saw the bomber in the air. The propeller on both sides did not rotate and there was no sound of engine. They looked at the plane anxiously. They really didn't know how to fly back.

Land!

After losing the power of the engine, there was no power assist system for the hydraulic operation of the aircraft. Bessel almost stood up and pulled the operating lever back.

The nose was raised and landed in the correct attitude. The main landing gear in front hit the ground, bounced gently, and then landed again.

Successful landing!

The brakes didn't work. The junker-88 bomber continued to slide forward for hundreds of meters, skidded off the runway, and continued to slide for tens of meters in the grass in front.

On the ground, fire engines and ambulances had rushed over. When the local attendants quickly opened the hatch on the belly of the aircraft, they only saw Bessel, whose face was a little white, walking down slowly.

"Unfortunately, the engine on the right was blown up, and the engine on the left failed again. Fortunately, we're back." Bescher said.

Looking at the bullet holes on the plane, the ground crew were extremely surprised that such a plane had come back.

"Captain, you are so brave." Said the ground crew.

The pilots who poured in from behind surrounded Bessel and others, especially the pilots who saw the scene of Bessel's risking his life to attack with their own eyes, and they had great admiration for the Bessel crew.

This is the last one. The junker-88 is intact and all of them have flown back. It's a miracle!

Later, cheers rang out throughout the air force base.

Victory!

The surprise attack on Scarpa Bay, the combination of German Navy and air force, has achieved great success!

The attacked side, Britain, reported the information of the attack only four hours after the base was attacked, when a motorboat sailed from the Scarpa Bay base to Scotland.

Britain, attacked, Germany, undeclared war, it's so hateful!

When the news came back to London, the whole London was angry. Citizens took to the streets and carried out massive demonstrations. At the same time, an emergency meeting was held immediately in the prime minister's office.

Chamberlain's face was ugly. He listened to the speech of admiral Churchill.

Yes, now Churchill has officially entered the cabinet.

As Germany invaded Poland, Britain had to declare war on Germany. After some consideration, Chamberlain finally brought the representative of the hardliners into his wartime cabinet.

Churchill, on the other hand, was officially appointed this morning as secretary of the navy to preside over the military Coordination Committee.

Churchill did not expect that such a big event would occur just a few hours after he took office. At the same time, he also realized that this is an opportunity. Those who fantasize about peace should be woken up now, right?

Appeasement has no way out. Now, the Germans have launched an attack on Britain. Britain must respond and be tough!
