Battle of the Third Reich
v5 Chapter 186: Deep behind the enemy (2)
The rudder is not an ornament, it will really kill people if it is broken. $f. ¥f But after all, if the pilot passes the technical level, the rudder failure is actually not as serious as ordinary people think, especially military aircraft, often encounter unexpected rudder damage, this flight predecessors have long studied a complete set Coping plan.
In fact, the steering of the aircraft does not only depend on the rudder. With the difference of the ailerons on both sides of the wing, the aircraft can be controlled to change the direction of travel. Just like the future b2 flying wing body, the tail is directly abandoned, and all flight attitude changes are completely dependent Multiple control surfaces on the wing for adjustment.
The British and German Air Forces already had many similar battles at this time. Some bombers that had completely destroyed their vertical tails relied on the pilot's skills to return to the base successfully. However, the situation of Lieutenant Colonel Maike is different from those of the aircraft. The damage to ju88b is far beyond the previous success stories. After the tail rudder was stuck, there were only three control surfaces left on the aircraft to maintain flight. If you want to turn by side-slip, Lieutenant Colonel Maike said that it is currently impossible to do.
The right-wing aileron had had problems before, otherwise how could he somehow bypass the field at that speed in the air defense fire net for a week. If the rudder was still in normal use at the time, and the pilots were quick to respond, the almost out-of-control aircraft was almost caught in a half-roll dive, which is the so-called anti-Yinmaiman maneuver in flight terms, and it was done at that altitude. There is no possibility of pulling up again.
It was difficult for Lieutenant Colonel Maike to return the wing surface to its original position. He judged that the connecting rod controlling the aileron rudder must have been severely hit, because he could feel the deadly stutter from the feel of the manipulation. . Now the hard-working rudder is finally dead, which is a fatal blow to the leader. At this time, ju88b can only rely on two horizontal tails and the left aileron to maintain the balance of the fuselage, and it must always be vigilant that the right aileron has problems again.
Lieutenant Colonel Maiko tried to control the plane while thinking about how to solve the current dilemma. Although this coalition captain has rich combat experience. He has dealt with many dangerous situations, but it is the first time he has encountered such an unlucky situation since he joined the army. Through the broken windshield, Maiko looked at the huge city with almost no border in front of him, and the large black-gray roofs and the black pillars scattered all over the city. The captain could not help but have some bad The hunch, maybe this time I really can't fly back.
The ju88b's engine is still working hard. However, from the intermittent exhaust sound, some cylinders were damaged, and the engine tachometer also showed the pilot that the power of the aircraft was slowly decreasing. Although Lieutenant Colonel Maike has not yet fallen into despair, he has accepted the gloomy prospect of this aircraft. The mighty Air Force Lieutenant Colonel never thought of giving up. He still had to make a final stroke. Maiko began to carefully control the aircraft to climb. If he wanted to fly far enough, he had to increase the height of the aircraft. But because the engine power is insufficient, after the attitude change. The pointer on the speedometer began to rotate rapidly, and Meco could only lower the nose again to avoid the aircraft stalling. He had exhausted all the means he could think of, and he could do nothing about this plane.
He and his crew could only look at himself closer and closer to the city of London with anxious mood. The only thing that makes them feel a little comfort is that ju88b's current flight status is still stable. The three German pilots looked at each other and then began to share the rest of the food and drinks. They had done their best. The rest can only be seen by the will of God, if he is gracious. Maybe you can cross the war zone and make a forced landing on the eastern coast. Although it is also an enemy-controlled area, due to the recent activity of the German navy, you may be able to encounter several patrolling German torpedo boats.
This seriously wounded German bomber broke into the sky over London like no one else. At this time, London was cloudless. Several citizens stood in the vegetable fields cultivated in their backyards and looked up at this lonely plane in the blue sky with a trembling face.
On that day, the German bomber forces had no plans to bomb the city of London, so within a dozen kilometers, there were no friendly aircraft. The British fighter fleet responsible for London defense has also been fully mobilized to the southern line of defense and is competing with the German fighter fleet for the final air supremacy. The sky over London has thus become a tactical vacuum. At this time, Maike's ju88b rushed in.
The British clearly did not expect this kind of thing to happen. Their attention was on the southeast. When the military found the German bomber that had slipped from the southwest, the Germans could already clearly see the Thames Too.
Maiko and his crew initially felt a little strange that the sky over London was so quiet, and they immediately became happy, because if they continue to do so, they may actually be able to live across the city to reach the Strait. Facts have proved that they were too happy. The so-called Fu Wushuang was not alone. Just when everyone thought they could escape from birth, God made a joke with them again.
"Sir, the control surface of the horizontal tail wing on our left fell." Captain Firme couldn't believe his eyes, and the thing swayed in front of his eyes, breaking free of the hinge, and then disappeared in his roll. In perspective.
"I feel it, it's really damn, the engine speed on the right is also decreasing."
"We're falling down, sir." Air Xueba grabbed the handle on the windshield frame overhead and shouted loudly.
"Come on, come on, you are a good girl, you can do it." Lieutenant Colonel Maike yelled at the landline and he pulled the joystick backwards.
"Pull up, pull up, God, I don't want to die in this place." Captain Firme stepped on the dashboard, helping the driver pull the rocky joystick at this time.
With the efforts of two strong men, ju88 finally began to slowly raise the nose and resumed its flying attitude, but at this time the aircraft had lost a lot of precious altitude. Looking out from the cabin, the Germans could clearly distinguish The skylight in the attic on the roof of the city.
"About 800 to 900 meters, can we continue to climb?" Captain Firm said he took off the hose from the oxygen mask, and said with a buckle buckling the strap of the mask.
"It's not time to parachute jump, we have to fly northeast for a while, and now below is the center of London. Those English guys will strip you alive." Lieutenant Colonel Maike struggled with the joystick, he was confident This plane can hold on for a while. Less than a last resort, he didn’t want to land in the enemy’s capital, just like throwing a fat piglet into a lion.
According to information within the Air Force, the German pilots have been completely demonized by the British, and some unlucky pilots have been found. After forced landing or parachuting, they were attacked by armed civilians. The intelligence service said that two people were even killed by ignorant farmers even after surrendering. The Luftwaffe immediately retaliated and razed all the villages and towns in the area, but the tragedy has already occurred, and doing anything at this time will not help.
The ju88, full of bullet holes, roared across the street, the unresponsive British air defense department, and finally the air defense alarm was sounded. The residents of the first-class community apartments rushed to the street in a hurry, and they dragged their homes and brought them together to gather dense crowds. Running towards the nearest bomb shelter. Witnessing the chaos in the street below, the bombers felt a little regretful that their magazines had been emptied, otherwise they might give the British a surprise gift.
"Pull it down. If you do this, the commander-in-chief will twist your head." In the midst of suffering together, Lieutenant Colonel Maike did not say any harsher words.
With a German aircraft flying at a low altitude of 900 meters, London citizens were able to see the enemy clearly for the first time. In the hundreds of previous bombings, the Germans were flying high. Holding the telescope, I can only see the rough outline. Wherever it is today, even the iron cross under the wing is clear. At this time, some sharp-eyed British people also found out that the shell of this German aircraft was scarred, and an engine was still dragging a light blue smoke, and the flight attitude was also forward and backward and left and right. Where is this coming to bombing, obviously struggling with the final.
Ju88 dragged his bruised body and flew over the Thames. Lieutenant Colonel Maike tilted his head and pointed out to his men not far from Buckingham Palace.
"Is that Buckingham Palace? Then there is Hyde Park behind it. If it wasn't for the head of state, we would have razed it to the ground." Sgt. Stauffen pulled out the camera from the toolbox and began to press the shutter continuously.
"If we have to parachute, you must remember to destroy all the film before falling into the enemy's hands, and you can't leave any photos that may involve the base to the British." Lieutenant Colonel Maike warned loudly.
"I understand the sir, this is just a habit of wanting to commemorate." Shi Taofen nodded quickly, and then hung the camera on his chest.
"The situation is not good, our direction is facing Canary Wharf, where there is a naval ship repair yard, there must be dense air defense firepower." Lieutenant Colonel Maike frowned, he began to think about the countermeasures, with the current body situation, basically Can't withstand any outside shock.
"We can still do the last maneuver, make a turn to the left, and then I can no longer control the aircraft. This height should be enough for us to parachute. The problem is that the east side of London is below. It is said that the British villains are concentrated. You must do it. With good psychological preparation, the Germans must not fall into the hands of hooligans. If possible, find the nearest police or army to surrender. I am honored to fly with you and may God bless us." The decision to make, he felt from his heart that this was definitely not a good idea.
"Headquarters, here is the Red 70 team leader. Our plane is out of control and we are now flying over London. We can no longer continue to fly. We are ready to parachute in the East End of London. May God bless us, long live the Third Reich." The final message was issued to the podium In the distress message, Maiko turned off the communication switch and immediately signaled Firm to destroy the radio.
When everything is ready, the air defense position in the dock area of the river bay has started to shoot at Ju88 in a mess. Mai Ke rocked the joystick steadily, ju88 began to slowly roll over the fuselage, the aircraft entered a side slip, the aircraft quickly reversed its direction, from the northeast to the east, just wiped from the edge of the shipyard air defense network, the play was still normal The British naval gunners had no choice but to watch the shells explode in a cloud two to three hundred meters from the plane.
"Gentlemen, good luck to us." Lieutenant Colonel Maike unplugged all the lines connecting the helmet and fastened the helmet goggles and face mask. This is the most respected point for pilots for this helmet. It not only has a certain bulletproof function And can also withstand the strong winds encountered during skydiving.
Ju88 continues to roll. This attitude change is irreversible. The pilot must leave the aircraft before the fuselage is completely turned over, so the movement must be fast. Film opened the floor long ago, and pulled out the hatch abandoning the handle under the direction of Mai Ke. After a loud bang, the bottom door flew out of the cabin together with the door frame. The captain patted the squadron captain's shoulder, and Filme jumped out of the cabin, and then left the 24-year-old school bully. Maiko finally noticed that the child had his camera hanging on his chest.
At this time, the plane had been tilted to nearly ninety degrees, and it would be too late to abandon the plane. Lieutenant Colonel Maike clenched his teeth, stroking the hatch and struggling toward the outside. The parachute opened smoothly, and the German product once again showed its reliable performance. The Air Force lieutenant lieutenantly hung under the parachute and descended towards the most chaotic area of London.
