Chapter 938 Captive

The U-2 is a biplane primary trainer designed by the famous Soviet aircraft designer Nikolai Polikarpov. It flew for the first time in 1928, and began mass production in 1930. It continued until 1953, with a total output of about 33,000. shelf.

Before the car, the USSR did not have its own trainer aircraft. Polkapov's design principles are: "simple, reliable and low cost", and named this aircraft "U-2", which means "trainer-2" type.

In this era, it must be a biplane, with an open double cockpit, a pine frame, a linen skin, and a wire cable between the upper and lower wings. The power plant uses an M-11 air-cooled piston radial 5-cylinder engine, which drives a two-blade wooden propeller with a power of 100 horsepower.

After production, this aircraft immediately won the favor of the majority of aviation personnel. It has a simple structure, low cost, easy production and maintenance, especially excellent operation performance and outstanding take-off and landing performance, which has cultivated a large number of aviation talents for the Soviet Union.

Later, in 1944, in honor of the deceased Polkapov, the U-2 was renamed the Po-2.

At the same time, because of the excellent New Year, this kind of aircraft has been improved in various ways and used as liaison aircraft, ambulance aircraft, night bombers, harassment aircraft, transport aircraft, etc. Its biggest feature is, of course, simple take-off and landing, as long as there is a small piece of The smooth grass can take off and land smoothly.

Now, this U-2 plane flew to Brest New City last night and sent some supplies. Because it is small and flexible, it landed directly on the football field in the city. After that, it has not yet taken off. .

Now, this plane just happened to be used by Timoshenko and Pavlov to escape.

They didn't run away, they wanted to avoid being captured by the Germans and causing serious diplomatic problems, yes, that's it!

Timoshenge handed over the command to his adjutant, and then, with Pavlov, took a car, and quickly ran to the playground. The two jumped into the open cargo hold at the back, and then demanded The pilot takes off.

Fortunately, this is a modified plane. If it is the original trainer, there are only two seats. There is a pilot in the front and two people in the back need to squeeze.

The cargo compartment is not spacious, and the two of them squatted inside, showing their heads and looking forward.

A person on the ground turned the propeller by hand to help start the plane. After a stream of black smoke came out, the plane was successfully launched. Then, the pilot pushed the throttle stick and was ready to take off.

The take-off and landing distance of the biplane is very short, and this kind of aircraft can get up with only a roll of 80 meters.

But, just after the plane rolled away, the German tanks appeared!

The Germans are coming so fast!

First, of course, because of the first-class mobility of the German armored forces, they were originally lightning fast, and second, because the Soviets had no defense line at all.

The troops with combat effectiveness were deployed to the front line and attacked various fortresses, while in the rear, there were only some suppressing artillery pieces. Under the bombardment of the opposite fortresses, the artillery positions were finished. When the German panzers came, they didn't resist at all.

In this way, the German armored soldiers rushed into the city!

"Spotted German tanks!" the pilot shouted. "Oh police, they fired on us!"

"Take off, keep taking off!" Brother Timoshen shouted loudly, don't worry about it, as long as he takes off, he won't be afraid of anything!

"Boom!" Almost at this moment, a huge explosion sounded, and the opponent's grenade, which was uneven, hit an open space 20 meters in front of it, causing a big pit!

Countless debris followed, and the pilot could only bend over and dodge downward. At the same time, he released the accelerator and applied the brakes.

"We have to stop!" the pilot shouted.

No way, this kind of small plane, the landing gear is a fixed main wheel plus tail skid, that is to say, the pilot does not have any control ability, and needs the help of ground personnel when taxiing and turning.

Now, if it keeps charging forward, the only result is that it hits that big hole.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the engine in front suddenly become extremely loud, and black smoke came out.

No, a flying debris hit the engine!

The radial engine has good damage resistance. After being hit by shrapnel, it can continue to run. However, this is at risk. For example, the fuel of the aircraft may be ignited!

As if he heard his most terrifying thoughts, the black smoke in front turned into flames, and the engine caught fire!

"Quick, jump off!" the pilot shouted. He couldn't take care of the two generals behind him. He couldn't protect himself. The fire spread quickly, and before the plane stopped, he jumped from it.

The two people in the back were also in a hurry. Brother Timoshen was still agile. He stepped on Pavlov's body and jumped down. When he touched the ground, he rolled on the ground five or six times before he could. When he stopped, when he stood up swayingly, he saw that Pavlov also jumped down, but there was still a flame on his body!

Pavlov jumped to the ground, rolled a few times, and the fire was put out, but the hair on the back of his head was burnt to the ground, and he grinned in pain.

On the ground, there was a violent vibration, and the two raised their heads and saw the tank, which had already started rumblingly!

The hatch of the tank opened, and a commander came out from above, pushing the machine gun on the top of the tank, aiming at them: "Hello, two generals, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Karl Bowman was quite excited. At this time, the two people on the opposite side were still wearing military uniforms, with military rank, and the star on it was so dazzling.

These two people are the senior commanders of the Soviets!

Maybe they are the two people you are looking for!

"Company commander, found two Soviet generals." Bowman shouted excitedly on the radio.

He didn't know the two people in front of him, the photos of the Soviets could not be sent to each of them, but the company commander must know!

There was a constant roar from the back, accompanied by the unique high-pressure oil pump of the diesel engine. Tiger tanks came up, and the company commander got off his tank, holding a submachine gun, and shouted loudly: "Bauman, you have done a great job!"

The company commander knew Timoshenko. When the Soviet Union and Germany joined forces here, they held a joint military parade. At that time, Timoshenko was the commander-in-chief of the Soviets!

At that time, Brother Timoshen was aloof, but now, Brother Timoshen had to raise his hands.

As a soldier, today is his most humiliating day.
