Chapter 481 Sea Storm

Landing at night is inherently difficult. It is all guided by lights. Only the most experienced pilots can land. If complex weather is encountered again, it will be even more troublesome.

The worst thing is that other means are ineffective. For example, if the pilot is really unable to land, he can jump off the plane, throw the plane away, and be picked up by himself. But now, the wind and waves are so big, if you parachute down, you will be blown away in an instant. Swept away by the waves.

Just go down!

Asim continued to fly around the aircraft carrier with difficulty, and he saw the people above making nervous preparations.

The entire rear deck was emptied to the front, and in the middle of the deck, a large net was erected as a last resort.

In this era, the United Kingdom and the United States are all aircraft carriers with direct access to the deck. The first half takes off and the second half lands. In order to prevent risks during the landing, the front is emptied during the landing operation. If the landing is not successful, it can go back to flight again.

However, if there is an aircraft in front of you, there is really no way to do it, so a net is erected in the middle to artificially divide the deck. If the aircraft does not slow down when it lands, it will hit the net.

Just so violent.

And now, the German aircraft carrier has an angled deck, and this net is almost never used. Now, it is finally going to be used.

A call from the bridge came from the headset, and after Asim circled around, he re-aligned the landing line.

A gust of wind rushed over, causing Stuka to shake twice in an instant. Asim stabilized the operating lever and continued to land along the glide line.

Closer, closer, and the speed of his plane was decreasing.

Not bad, the trajectory is just right!

Thank God!

Just when Asim's plane was a few meters away from the deck, suddenly, right in front of it, a strong airflow was blown! This airflow provided vertical lift to the plane, and in a blink of an eye, the plane was forcibly raised five meters!

Damn it!

Asim didn't know who to curse, he pushed the lever hard, this was his last chance, he had no choice! One more lap, the wind and waves will be even bigger!

He pushed the lever forward so hard that the Stuka almost dived, coming toward the deck again.

Everyone was sweating, and they saw that Stuka's posture was completely incorrect, but now there was no choice.

Stuka finally landed again! At this time, it was less than 30 meters away from the blocking net, and the nose rushed down!

As it was about to make contact with the deck, Asim turned off the engine, the front propeller stopped, and the sturdy landing gear touched the deck.

not good!

When the wheel and the deck came into contact, it suddenly bounced up again!

The wheel on the left bounced up, causing the wing on the right to deflect downward, rubbing against the deck, and sparks appeared. Then, the plane turned and turned over.

Take the top!

The propeller was bent, the front of the nose was rotten, you could smell the terrible gasoline in the air, and then the whole plane crashed into the net!

The net was tightened abruptly, as if it was about to be knocked down, and the canopy made a snapping sound, as if it would crack in the next moment, but it still held on.

Finally stopped! The cockpit is intact, it seems the pilot inside should be fine! Moreover, the plane is not too big a problem, after maintenance, it can still be dispatched.

At this moment, suddenly, a huge wave hit, and the deck instantly tilted three degrees to the left.

The plane that had just taken the big top suddenly turned over again under the shaking.

This time, it rolled, and the entire wing broke off. Fortunately, at this time, the fuselage was flat.

Opening the hatch, Asim climbed out from the inside, looked at the deck staff who greeted him, and waved: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

He was fine, and the accident did not frighten him. As a naval pilot, he was already mentally prepared.

"Quick, get out of the way!" At this moment, he shouted loudly, and ran to the side.

"Boom!" Above the head, something fell down. It was a radar antenna on the bridge. Under the strong wind, it was blown off!

The harsh sea conditions in the Atlantic Ocean are just so terrifying.

To the east, the sky was slowly getting brighter, but the bad weather showed no sign of stopping.

In front of nature, people will appear so insignificant.

The battleship Deutschland, dangling at sea, will sail into the North Sea in half a day, where the waves will be smaller.

This warship with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons was constantly shaking, and the storm in the Atlantic made the Deutschland sailing with difficulty. In particular, the speed of the torpedo hit last time has come down.

"Our radar is broken and cannot search the nearby sea." On the bridge, Stanger received a report.

In fact, radar was originally a newborn in this era, and electronic systems are naturally defective. The salt and humidity at sea can make electronic equipment work.

It took German technicians to develop it for several years to overcome the reliability problem. Unfortunately, it still cannot operate normally under severe sea conditions.

Stanger nodded: "Add a lookout post and be ready to enter a battle state at any time."

It is said that in such bad weather, it is very difficult for the fleet to have an artillery battle. However, the British warship was killed again last night. At this time, the British must be furious and want to get back.

And now, when returning to the North Sea, it is still necessary to bypass the United Kingdom, so that the British are not allowed to come out to provoke.

This voyage is the most dangerous.

Fortunately, after radio contact, our aircraft carrier formation was only fifty nautical miles away from me, and they would come up to protect me at any time. I was not alone.

Stanger looked through the bridge and looked at the prisoners sitting on the deck. There was no way. The interior space of the warship was limited, so in the bad sea conditions, the prisoners could only sit on the deck. Fortunately, they all had ropes. .

Of course, those with outstanding performance were placed in the cabin, such as Bruce, who had temporarily gained trust and was placed in the cabin to avoid the wind and rain.

"Alarm, found the British fleet!" At this moment, the lookout reported loudly to the bridge through the megaphone: "Number, about ten, the main British fleet is dispatched!"

The British are here!

If the radar is still good, they can find the target in advance, but now, under the bad sea conditions, the lookout post only found the other party at a distance of ten nautical miles!

"Damn!" Although he was mentally prepared, Stanger couldn't help cursing: "Send a notice to the fleet immediately, we are about to enter a state of fire, naval guns, prepare to fire!"
