Chapter 1383 was shot down

The pilot brought Sokov to the parking place of the plane. He leaned into the cabin, reached out and grabbed a flight cap and a pair of goggles, and handed them to Sokov: "Take them on, Comrade General, it's windy in the sky, if you don't bring them I'm afraid you won't be able to bear these protective gear."

   After thanking the pilot, Sokov took what was in his hand.

  The pilot waited for Sokov to put on his flight cap and goggles, and asked, "Comrade General, where are you going to go for a walk?"

   "Comrade Lieutenant, do you have a map?"

"Yes." The pilot said, and took out a folded map from the briefcase he was carrying. After unfolding it, he held it in front of Sokov, and said politely, "Please point out where you are going." The place."

Sokov tilted his head and looked at the map for a while, then pointed to the location of October Town, and said to the pilot: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, I will only go around the vicinity of October Town to see the enemy's defense situation, is there any problem? "

  The pilot stared at the map, calculated the distance silently, shook his head and said, "No problem, October Town is no more than 20 kilometers away from us, and you can call back and forth in a few minutes. Please get on the plane."

   Soon, the plane rose into the air.

   It was the first time for Sokov to take such a simple plane, and he regretted it as soon as he took to the sky. The only thing I could hear was the roar of the plane engine, and I felt the oncoming gust of wind, cutting the skin of my face like a blunt knife. If he wasn't wearing goggles, he probably wouldn't even be able to open his eyes.

  The plane soon came over October Town. Sokov looked down and saw trenches criss-crossing around the town. The people in the trenches were as small as ants.

  Sokov wanted to see clearly, so he shouted to the pilot, hoping that he could lower the altitude. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that he was wrong again. The voice he yelled could not even be heard by himself, let alone the pilot sitting in the front row.

   Fortunately, the pilot knew the purpose of Sokov's trip, and after reaching the sky above October Town, he descended and hovered at a place seventy or eighty meters above the ground.

  After idling around October Town, the pilot turned around and prepared to fly back. Sokov hadn't seen clearly the enemy's defensive deployment below, so he just went back like this, and quickly shouted at the pilot again, but his shout was blown away by the wind, and the pilot couldn't hear him at all.

  Sokov had no choice but to reach out and pat the pilot on the shoulder. When the other party turned around, he stretched out his hand and made a circle gesture, signaling the pilot to make another circle over October Town.

  After reading Sokov's gesture, the pilot nodded slightly, then turned his head and continued to fly the plane.

  When the plane flew over October Town for the second time, the German soldiers below set up anti-aircraft machine guns and fired at the plane in the air. Although the bullet did not hit the plane at all, the pilot quickly pulled the plane up to get out of this dangerous area for safety reasons.

   When climbing to a height of more than 500 meters, the plane had already left the range of the German anti-aircraft machine guns, and began to circle around October Town. Although at such a high distance, it is a bit unclear to observe the ground, but it is better than nothing. Sokov continued to look down, trying to remember the situation of the German ground defense.

   After flying this circle, the pilot turned around and flew back without waiting for Sokov's order. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a German fighter jet appeared from nowhere. After it spotted the Soviet aircraft over October Town, it immediately rushed over like a hungry wolf.

  Seeing an enemy plane appearing behind, Sokov was frightened out of his wits. He quickly raised his hand and patted the pilot's shoulder.

  The pilot looked back and saw a German fighter jet rushing towards him. He was also very frightened. You must know that his plane was not equipped with any weapons. In front of the German combat power, it was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

   Fortunately, the level of the Soviet pilots was high, and the German fighter jets shot many times, but he cleverly dodged them. The pilot knew very well that the Soviet defense zone was not far away. If he forced a landing at this moment, the plane would become a fixed target on the ground, and the enemy plane could easily destroy the target. Play around and look for opportunities to get rid of it.

   After avoiding more than a dozen attacks by enemy planes, the Soviet plane was unfortunately hit. Sokov saw a puff of black smoke rising from under the wings, and then the plane began to dive down uncontrollably. Seeing the plane getting closer to the ground, Sokov couldn't control his emotions and shouted loudly.

   Fortunately, the pilot had good skills. A few seconds before the plane touched the ground, he pulled up the nose so that the tail of the plane touched the ground first. The plane that fell to the ground suddenly broke into two pieces, throwing Sokov and the pilot out.

   As soon as the two of them landed, the rear half of the plane exploded and then began to burn. Fortunately, both of them were lying on the ground, and the debris of the plane flying around during the explosion did not cause more damage to them.

  The enemy plane in the air, seeing the plane on the ground burning, thought that everyone on the plane was finished. After a circle in the air, it flew towards the German defense zone.

  Sokov lay on his back on the ground and took a few deep breaths. He felt the pain in his body was unbearable, and the blood in his internal organs was surging endlessly.

   Lying down for two minutes, Sokov, who was trembling with pain, raised his body with his hands, looked at the pilot lying not far away, and asked with some difficulty: "Hey, Comrade Second Lieutenant, are you still alive?"

   "I'm still alive, Comrade General." The pilot lying not far away turned to Sokov and said, "But my leg seems to be broken."

Knowing that the other party only had a broken leg, Sokov secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He climbed up to the side of the pilot with difficulty, comforted the other party and said, "Comrade Second Lieutenant, don't worry, this is our army's defense zone, I can't think of it." How long will it take for our people to come here and send you to the field hospital."

  The pilot grinned, and then asked Sokov with concern: "Comrade General, are you all right?"

   "I'm fine." Sokov lay down next to the pilot, and said weakly, "Let's just lie here and rest for a while. I believe it won't be long before my people will be here."

  Although Sokov said he didn't care, he was very uneasy in his heart, saying that it was his own defense zone, but who can guarantee that no Germans will touch it? In order to take the plane to the sky, I didn't even bring an assault rifle, only a pistol on my body. If I encountered the enemy, I'm afraid it would be difficult to escape.
