Chapter 161: Howling for Life (Plus 2)
In order to support Spain, for the sake of international friendship, and under the call of the Communist International, countless people came here for no name or benefit!
At this moment, a strong fragrance emerged from a wooden hut not far away, and Debes said, "Let's rest first, and then we'll talk after breakfast!"
Autumn in Spain is not cold, and many people even work shirtless. After smelling the aroma of rice, they clapped together, carried their lunch boxes, and went to the wooden hut to eat.
Except for the pilots who have better meals, the rest of the people eat the same food. Even Debes, who comes here, doesn't do anything special. Now there are enough pilots and not enough planes. Therefore, Debes Beth did not participate in the first-line flight, and he took the initiative to have meals outside the cabin with others.
Everyone respected this Soviet lieutenant colonel, even a Spanish woman who was cooking rice tried her best to stir her spoon in the pot and bring up half a spoon of meat.
Picking up the lunch box, Debes, like the others, squatted on the ground and nibbled on the brown bread. Due to the poor conditions here, Debes gave up his room a few days ago to store the spare parts of the fighter plane. At present, he, the commander, can only squeeze into a tent in charge of command with other subordinates.
Beside Debes, a group of pilots from the Soviet Union had a meal at another queue, then gathered around Debes and ate together talking and laughing.
"Today's task is to patrol the skies over Badajoz." Debes said, "Five I-16s can be assembled today, and five of the most experienced pilots will be found to fly I-15s."
The I-16 fighter jet entered the Soviet army in 1934 and quickly became the most advanced fighter jet in the Soviet Union. However, this fighter jet looks cute in appearance, but is actually quite violent.
For example, the joystick in the cockpit is something that pilots hate very much, because the joystick is always shaking, and there have been accidents that have broken the pilot's arm.
During a dive, the aircraft easily entered a spiral.
Although the landing gear can be retracted, it is a tricky manual recovery. When taking off, to retract the landing gear of the I-16 fighter jet, you need to keep shaking the joystick 44 times.
When landing, due to the poor shock absorption system of the I-16 fighter jet, it would jump on the runway like a wild horse.
Only the most experienced pilots can control this aircraft, and once mastered, it will be a powerful combat tool!
Now, when Debes said about the five I-16 planes, several pilots were eager to try it out. They were about to speak when they suddenly saw Debes's expression change.
In the distance, there was a low-frequency roaring sound. This roaring sound is familiar to everyone. It is the sound of the high-power engine and the whirring propeller!
Now, before breakfast is over, no one is flying the fighter plane, and where did this sound come from?
"Quick, shake the air defense siren!" Debes shouted loudly: "Get on the plane, there's an air strike!"
Debes is a veteran. Although he has not participated in World War I, he has developed this intuition during his ten years in the Air Force.
Needless to say? It must be an enemy plane coming here!
Air strikes, air strikes!
Everyone put down their lunch boxes and ran desperately in the direction of the distant plane. At the same time, Debes had already strode to the position of the air raid siren, shaking the heavy handle.
"Woo, woo." The air defense siren sounded sharply. At this time, everyone knew what happened, enemy attack, enemy attack!
Unfortunately, it's too late!
full speed!
Hans, who took the lead, after flying for more than half an hour, has approached the target!
"Fleet Stuka, pay attention, according to the intended target, dive bombing!" Hans shouted in the radio, at the same time, pulled his nose and opened the throttle.
For dive bombing, you need to have altitude first. Just now, you have been flying at ultra-low altitude. When you are close to the target, it is almost flying at a height close to the ground to avoid being discovered by the other party's lookout. Now, you need to pull Woke up!
Pull up!
Stuka bomber, the front propeller is rotating at the maximum speed, pulling the body to start to climb up, everything around you can be seen clearly!
Target, anti-aircraft artillery position!
The airport is a high-value target. Therefore, in order to prevent the enemy's air attack, there are anti-aircraft artillery positions around the airport, and the threat of anti-aircraft artillery to the air raid group is the greatest!
Only the bravest pilots can complete the task of bombing the anti-aircraft artillery positions! And now, the crew of the heroic Stuka bomber!
When it reached 500 meters, it had entered the best attack route. Hans pushed the nose of the plane, and the Stuka bomber roared and dived down!
His target was the 85mm anti-aircraft gun in the bunker full of sandbags!
At this time, several anti-aircraft artillerymen of the international column in a hurry have already run to the artillery position! The operator is shaking the anti-aircraft gun quickly, wanting to stand up the anti-aircraft gun, the loader has disassembled the ammunition box, and the shells inside are ready to be stuffed into the gun chamber.
Unfortunately, it's still too late.
They heard a terrifying howl, like a demon from hell!
Haha, International Column? Let you be ashes!
Inside the Stuka bomber, Hans listened to the whistling, very happy.
As a dive bomber, in order to enhance the effect of bombing, they specially installed a sounding air whistle on the landing gear. When diving, as long as the speed is enough, it will make this fatal sound!
Hans looked at the angle of attack display at the front of his cockpit. This is an instrument specially developed for dive bombing, allowing the pilot to enter the bombing route accurately. The most life-threatening, dare to dive at an angle of attack of 90 degrees.
The height was getting lower and lower, and the speed was getting bigger and bigger. Hans watched the altimeter in front of him continue to drop, and dropped the bomb at a distance of less than 70 meters from the opponent!
The 500-kilogram bomb flew down the route just after the dive, just like a full-point three-point blue ball, it was precisely thrown onto the gun emplacement!
At this moment, the anti-aircraft artillerymen were dumbfounded. When they heard the unique whistle, their eyes were attracted by the flying Stuka, and they couldn't turn their eyes away.
When they came back to their senses, Stuka had already pulled up, and the bomb just fell straight from the top of their heads!
