Chapter 511 Hans Rudel Injured

Bombers and fighters are different types of arms. Once they are mature, it is very difficult to re-fly. Hans never thought of flying the FW190.

However, his Stuka has already begun to fall out of fashion. The fixed landing gear brings greater air resistance, which limits his flight speed. Even if he is replaced with a more powerful engine, the improvement will be limited.

Therefore, his eyes, looking elsewhere, naturally saw HS-129.

Although the small cabin makes every pilot uncomfortable, it is enough to think that he is sitting in the bathtub with all-round protection underneath.

When they are diving, they often need to risk the artillery fire on the ground, and a layer of armor protection can give them greater confidence.

"I heard that that kind of aircraft is not maneuverable, and it is not as flexible as our Stuka." The machine gunner said. At this time, the machine gunner was still sitting on his back, but there are almost no French fighters in the sky now. , he is also doing nothing.

That kind of aircraft, although it has two engines, has too little horsepower, resulting in poor maneuverability, and those who have flown it can hardly fly.

"Actually, poor maneuverability is not a disadvantage." Hans said: "The maneuverability of the Navy's HS-129 is not bad. Their engines are very luxurious. As long as our Air Force's engines are also replaced with new engines, the performance will be improved. It must be up."

"However, the advanced engines are all equipped with the FW190. Where can I get the HS-129."

"Wait, when we've got France, we'll have the engine," Hans said.

He has already seen it. The Air Force is indeed very valuable. However, France still has engines. Now, the mature engines in France have the "Land God"-Rhone 14N-21 engine, which can stably emit 1150 horsepower. If This engine, fitted to the HS-129, immediately gave a huge performance boost.

Now, the war on French territory is fought fast, the German army is advancing rapidly, the French army is retreating, many big cities are intact, and Germany has not bombed French industrial areas.

So, it is quite possible that the French industry can be preserved intact.

Moreover, he has an even more idea, that is, when he changes to a new model, and the record starts from zero, then he can fly to the battlefield again! When the bomber dived and watched the people below shiver, he had an indescribable pleasure.

Hans was very happy, fantasized about all this, he didn't know, he was negligent.

"Look, what is that?" On the ground, in a village, a British soldier in charge of reconnaissance shouted loudly.

"Oh, that's a German bomber, hurry up, Chris, hurry up!"

Their village is very important now, because this is where the division headquarters is located.

Are the Germans here to bomb their division headquarters? Sure, I didn't expect the Germans to come so fast!

"Quick, machine gun!" Chris also shouted loudly.

They are moving fast because they are armored troops, but the anti-aircraft guns in their armored troops are still behind! Those towed anti-aircraft guns simply don't run as fast as their tanks.

Now, to protect the safety of the division headquarters, there are only a few "Vickers" Mark1 0.303inch machine guns left.

This is definitely an old-fashioned machine gun, water-cooled barrel, canvas chain, and at 57 years old, it seems like this machine gun is completely out of date.

But in fact, it is still a fairly reliable weapon.

In the history of World War II, 10 Vickers machine guns fired 1 million rounds in 12 hours during a battle, an average of 10,000 rounds per hour. Although 100 barrels were replaced during this period and countless cooling water was used, there was not a single jam. And leave other machine guns behind.

In addition to ground infantry use, it is widely vehicle-mounted, airborne, and a fairly mature weapon.

And now, after spotting a stuka flying, they quickly prepared, Chris asked his assistant to chain the machine gun, he pushed the machine gun into place, tripped it, and stood up high, It became an anti-aircraft machine gun.

Although he didn't have the equipment for air-to-air aiming, he still aimed calmly according to his own experience, and he even held his breath.

The plane, getting closer and closer, the seagull wings, the fixed landing gear, looked extremely clear, and Chris finally pulled the trigger.

"Da da da." The 7.7mm machine gun bullets poured up quickly, and the other machine guns fired almost at the same time!

"Tom tom tom..." A violent vibration came from the wing, and Hanston was shocked. No, there was anti-aircraft fire on the ground!

He couldn't blame him for being careless. He was still a few kilometers away from the target. He had already focused all his attention on the bridge. He didn't even notice that the ordinary-looking village below had anti-aircraft firepower.

In fact, looking at the ground in the sky, it is very small. If the reconnaissance planes did not conduct reconnaissance in advance, the air defense firepower on the ground would not be found at all.

Fortunately, the anti-aircraft weapons below are just small-caliber machine guns. There are small holes in the wings. If it is an anti-aircraft gun of more than 20 mm, it only takes one shot to make a big hole.

At the same time that the wing was attacked, Hans pulled the stick, and at the same time pressed the rudder, trying to quickly leave the area.

"Chirp", just at this moment, a voice came clearly into the cockpit, and after that, Hans felt his right leg was hit, and then went numb.

Yes, the feeling of being hit by a bullet is first of all numbness, not pain.

Hans looked down and saw that his cockpit was pierced from the bottom. It was also because the kinetic energy of the bullet was lost during the piercing process, so his leg was not pierced.

However, when the tumbling bullet came, the power was even greater. The tumbling bullet hit his thigh, and the muscles on the upper thigh were smashed and turned out. .

When I saw the wound, I thought that it must be very painful. This is a subconscious perception, and then, it was the real feeling of pain, which was transmitted to Hans's brain, which instantly made him feel like he wanted to faint. past impulses.

No, at this time, you must not faint. He wanted to save his life and that of the machine gunner.

The bullet had passed through the bone and pulled out the tendon together. Just a slight movement was unbearable. Large beads of sweat fell on his forehead. Hans used all his strength to step on the rudder, pull the operating lever, and return to sail. !
