Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 92 Stuka attacks 2

Autumn is the harvest season, but the farmland in Mercadal is barren. It's not that the land here isn't fertile, but in such turbulent times, who has the heart to sow crops and wait for harvest. In recent years, the domestic system in Spain has been constantly changing. Farmland has been nationalized and farmland has been divided among farmers. The cycle continues over and over again. Who dares to continue farming?

Nowadays, this barren land has been flattened with a flat flight runway and built into a military airport and military camp.

At this time, breakfast was being eaten in the military camp. Due to the defeat of the air battle in the past few days, the atmosphere here was a bit depressed, and everyone swallowed the food in silence.

Major Alexei was the person in charge of this base. At this time, he had no appetite at all. He stood in front of the window of the tower, looking at the half-assembled I-16 not far away, and couldn't help but shake his head.

These fighters were just transported last night to supplement the new fighters lost in the past few days. For this reason, he was reprimanded by his superiors, saying that his poor command resulted in the loss of so many valuable pilots and fighter planes. If he hadn't lied about his record, saying how many enemy planes he had shot down, he would have been in jail long ago. And once it is revealed that he lied about his record, he will not get any good results.

Thinking of this, Major Alexei couldn't help but curse the domestic fighter designers. They were just a bunch of losers. Why couldn't they design an excellent fighter plane that could completely overwhelm the opponent in terms of performance? You must know that Germany has been suppressed by the Treaty of Versailles for more than ten years and has only begun to develop fighter jets in recent years. But even the fighter jets built in just a few years can surpass them in performance.

Thinking about it, he sighed with great melancholy. If even these fighter planes were lost, then he wouldn't have to go back to explain. He would just shoot himself in the head.

At this time, the engineers and ground crew members who had finished breakfast continued to assemble the fighter aircraft.

"Install the wings!" an engineer shouted. The fuselage has been fixed. The next step is to install the wings!

Several people were busy raising the wings and aligning them. This aircraft, mainly made of wooden structure, is quite light.

Woo! Woo! Woo!

At this moment, a harsh air defense siren sounded over the base, and Major Alexei's expression suddenly changed. Because along with the siren, he faintly heard a low-frequency roar coming from the distance. This kind of roar was familiar to everyone. It was the sound of a high-power engine and the whirring propeller. Voice!

This showed that the enemy plane was close at hand, so he didn't care about anything else and shouted loudly. "Quickly take off the fighter planes to respond to the enemy! Quickly enter the position of the anti-aircraft gunners!!" The airport is a high-value target. In order to prevent enemy air attacks, anti-aircraft artillery positions will be deployed around the airport. However, since the airport was built, no enemy planes have come to harass them. These people have become a little loose. At this time, there are no personnel on duty at the anti-aircraft artillery position.

There was chaos in the military camp. The pilots quickly ran to their fighters, and the anti-aircraft gunners also ran to the anti-aircraft gun positions as fast as possible.

"Attention all crews, prepare to attack." Edman, who was already flying over the airport at this time, gave the order calmly.

He methodically made the final preparations, first placing the flaps in the cruising position, adjusting the elevator and rudder, and adjusting the propeller pitch to the cruising position.

Then he turned on the power switch of the altimeter and set the bomb drop height. This was an important instrument to ensure that he could escape from the dive before entering the dangerous altitude. It could calculate when the aircraft should drop the bomb and pull up. The bomb drop altitude set by Edman on the altimeter was 500 meters, which was the limit height at which the aircraft could safely escape from the dive. If it were any lower, it would be difficult for the aircraft to ensure that it did not hit the ground before pulling up.

"Young Bird No. 2, set your bomb drop height to 800 meters!" Edman specifically told Young Bird No. 2, worried that this guy who didn't know the heights of the sky would set the bomb drop height too low and hit the ground directly.

"Understood, sir..." Nestling No. 2 replied loudly, but in Edelman's ears it sounded like he was a little unhappy. He couldn't help but think that if this guy dared to lower the bomb drop height below 800 meters, he would definitely be put in confinement when he returned.

Through the window of the plane, you can see the chaotic crowd below, as big as ants.

Their primary target was the six anti-aircraft gun emplacements deployed around the airport.

"Attack according to the assigned targets, the attack begins!" With a roar, Edman released the dive speed brake, the nose of the aircraft sank sharply, and the Stuka automatically entered the dive state.

The flight safety control system is activated by the linkage mechanism, and the dive demobilization system is now activated. Two small red marking rods protrude from the upper surface of the wing. This is a hydraulic auxiliary mechanism that will be used when the aircraft drops bombs. It starts working at that moment, and it can limit the angle of the aircraft when it is pulled up, preventing the aircraft from being damaged or causing permanent damage due to the overload gravity that the aircraft cannot withstand due to excessively steep pull-up.

Edman steadily pushed the control stick, and the corner of his eye glanced at the windshield in front of him. There was a series of lines carved on the glass. This was an effective tool to help the pilot judge the dive angle. Each line It represents a dive angle, starting from 30 degrees and continuing to 90 degrees, because the pilot's psychological perception of the dive angle is much steeper than the actual dive angle during the dive. In the past, the accuracy of the hit was often affected because the dive angle was not enough. Now you only need to look at which line is parallel to the ground to know at which angle the Stuka is diving.

He was going to make an 80-degree dive to ensure the bomb's hit accuracy.

His target was the 85mm anti-aircraft gun in the upper left corner of the airport. Sandbags were piled around the anti-aircraft gun as a bunker, so it was best to throw the bomb into the bunker. Fortunately, the Stuka's excellent diving performance allowed it to accurately drop the bomb over the target's head.

Edman saw that the anti-aircraft artillery soldiers on the ground had already run to the gun emplacement. He even saw the operator shaking the anti-aircraft gun frantically, trying to raise the anti-aircraft gun. The loader had already opened the ammunition box and removed the contents inside. Cannonballs, ready to be stuffed into the barrel.

But it was too late for Edelman to know these guys.

The pneumatic bagpipe installed on the landing gear began to emit a heart-rending whistle, indicating that the current speed had exceeded the maximum speed during level flight. This terrifying whistle was shocking, and it had a psychological impact on the enemy. The pressure is even greater than that of a bomb hanging from an airplane.

Accompanied by this shrill beep, Edman's spirit became more and more excited, and his body began to secrete a large amount of adrenaline, which made his reaction speed up almost twice as fast as usual.

All of his attention was focused on the target, leaving only a small amount of peripheral vision to pay attention to the readout on the instrument panel. The plane continued to dive, and the speed had reached 560 kilometers. Now the plane was only more than 1,300 meters above the ground. The elevator had become very heavy, and it took a lot of effort to control it. He began to use The differential adjustment of the ailerons maintained its aiming point, keeping the nose of the aircraft firmly fixed on the 85mm anti-aircraft gun, waiting for the bombing moment to arrive.
