Chapter 125

The wind blowing across the broad lawn, with a few broken straw, has brought the cool of autumn to the people here. This is an airstrip with seven new German Air Force fighters. These planes belong to the first air wing of Germany and are responsible for fighting for air supremacy in the nearby battlefield.

Pilots know the code name of this fighter is eagle, and they all know the military code name of this fighter is ME-109 in the training manual and the instructor. This kind of aircraft has just appeared in the Spanish battlefield, and has achieved an excellent record of shooting down seven enemy aircraft without any damage.

Due to the limitation of fuel capacity, the pilots participating in the Spanish air war will not fly more than two hours at a time, so the pilots of the first German air brigade participating in the Spanish civil war will fly three times a day on average. This also requires the rapid efforts of aircraft technicians to repair, refuel and reload the aircraft.

Most of the ground mechanics of the German Air Force who came to Spain are very familiar with the ME-109 aircraft, because these aircraft were disassembled and transported to Spain in the containers of the Hercules class transport ship. These German technicians assembled them again.

In their spare time, these ground crew members and pilots would gather together to improve their aircraft and experiment with some new small devices, such as incendiary bombs modified with external fuel tanks. They tied small fragment bombs to the external fuel tanks of the aircraft, and these things could be used as incendiary bombs after being discarded. When landing, the bomb explodes and detonates the residual oil in the external fuel tank. The gasoline spreads around with the fire group, which is very easy to use.

Of course, pilots have a lot of respect for their ground crew in private. They have their own way of expressing friendship: when the pilots shoot down the enemy plane, they can get a box of Munich beer from the headquarters. These pilots will immediately take the beer and share it with the familiar ground crew to ensure that they can continue to fly.

A German technician looked up at the still bright sun in the sky, wiped the sweat on his forehead and put down his rolled up sleeve: "damn! In autumn, it's really cool. "

Not far above his head, a German lieutenant in a leather jacket poked his head out of the cockpit of the plane and asked the technician who was fiddling with the parts of the plane: "I feel that the whole shell has deviated to the right and needs to be rechecked. About, about a few millimetres, right?"

"No problem, wait for me to calibrate some. It's very simple. Just screw a few screws! By the way, didn't you say to let the Spanish pilot go last time? How did you fly by yourself? " As the technician screwed the adjusting bolt on the plane, he began to chat.

"Isn't it itchy? Look at my dear..." the pilot pointed to the place with three spades painted on the fuselage right under the canopy of the cockpit and said, "I've shot down the pilots of three enemy planes. Do you think if I shoot down two more, I can be promoted to a lieutenant?"

"Hey, hey. Come on, you can brag! How can it be so easy to be an ace pilot? " The old technician said with a smile, "if you can get off two planes next time, I'll treat you to a beer at the bar in the town!"

"Don't tell me! In the air battle a few days ago, the other side obviously knew more about the performance of the aircraft, and used low altitude hovering to fight with us. We didn't get much advantage! If it wasn't for our 109 speed, we would have suffered a great loss! " The pilot's second lieutenant tut tut mouth exclaimed: "but obviously our aircraft performance is stronger, in the end, we still won."

"In order to train you, we have given those Soviet idiots a lot of good skills! Although some technical directions are not quite right, they can still design very difficult things! " The old technician nodded and said, "Fuehrer, his biggest card is actually you talents. Don't let him down

"What do you mean by talents? It's like you are not talents! I've heard that Colonel dick of the second air force asked you several times, and general Catherine called you back The pilot patted the shell of the plane and said with a smile, "I heard that you are knocking on the tire with a wrench, so you know which pipe is leaking! Is that true? "

"Where did you hear all this bragging nonsense?" The old technician laughed and closed the cabin door on the plane. Then he pointed to the wooden board with a circle in the distance where the plane was pointing at: "hit two punches, try it!"

"Good! Wait The pilot drew his head back into the cabin, pointed at the board in the sight glass and gently pulled the trigger“ Sudden! Sudden! Suddenly Jack and equipment were lifted flat fuselage slightly vibrated a few times, and then stopped, in front of the machine gun slightly emitted a stream of white smoke. Not far away from the wooden target, has been hit into a pile of debris.

"Perfect! A few days ago, if this plane had been debugged by you, I would be an ace pilot now! " The second lieutenant put his head out of the engine room again and praised the old technician who was covering his ears: "God! It's good of you to debug the machine gun! I want to thank you for my baby

Unknowingly, the second lieutenant has changed the name of the old technician to you. It seems that he has a reliable skill and can win the trust of his peers everywhere.

"What did you say?" The old technician asked aloud, covering his ears“ I said, "thank you for my baby!" The second lieutenant laughed and repeated: "let the Spanish rookie have another day off today. I'll fly the plane myself again! I want you to buy me a beer in the evening! " In the distance, a ground crew member came running with a document: "Varna! The commander ordered us to take off two planes here to inspect the nearby sky. The ground forces will launch an attack soon. The enemy may take off and interfere with the air force. "“ Put the plane down! fill the tank up! Hurry up As he walked back, the old technician fiddled with the wrench and said, "this one and the one over there can be used directly! They are all in good shape! "“ Attention ground crew! Refuel two planes! Hurry up A ground crew member yelled, "take off in 20 minutes! Clear the runway! Hurry up More than ten minutes later, two ME-109 fighters have aimed at the runway: "control tower! This is fighter 79! Pilot Varna? Murders! I'm ready to take off now! " His wingman also radioed the control tower: "control tower! This is fighter 53! Pilot Reinhart? Zeller, I'm ready to take off now! " The propellers of the two planes turned gradually, faster and faster, and eventually became invisible. They moved slowly, but also faster and faster. After adjusting the direction, the two planes rushed forward and backward to the end of the runway, and soared tens of meters away from the end“ Long machine! Long machine! I'm wingman sailor! Our current direction is due east, and we will enter the combat airspace in more than ten minutes. " There was a wingman's call on the radio. Warner looked at the dashboard in front of him, and then replied, "sailor, climb up, let's go up to the clouds. At this height, we will be found by the enemy first!" After a short communication, the two me-109s began to climb, and soon they were close to the height of the clouds. They adjusted their flying distance slightly, and then rushed into the white clouds and disappeared into the blue sky“ This is tower one! This is tower one! Call 79 pilot After getting close to the battlefield, the voice of the rear tower came from the earphone: "just received the report from the front line, there are two old biplane Soviet planes in your airspace attacking the ground targets of the national army. You need to drive them out."“ This is fighter 79! Warner understands! Sylar and I will go and have a look! " Warner replied to the tower, and immediately gave his wingman an order: "sailor! Let's go down! Go under the clouds and observe the surroundings carefully! And then wait for my order to do the next step. "“ Sylar knows! Long machine! I'm descending There's a response from seller on the headphones“ Fly around with me! Find the location of the two Soviet planes! " Warner piloted the plane while lowering its height and hovering sideways, hoping to get the basic information below“ Long machine! I found those two planes! " "It's nine o'clock down, nine o'clock down!" yelled sailor from the intercom“ You attack! I'll cover you! Leave immediately after attack, don't entangle at low altitude! Watch out for enemy weapons on the ground Warner adjusted his flight attitude and gave the order to attack“ Zeller understood After all, the wingman didn't have much actual combat experience. Hearing that the captain gave credit to him, he immediately cried excitedly and drove the plane down. Warner watched as the wingman began to dive, and then he made a slight dive, reducing some altitude to cover the wingman. However, when he made such a dive, he just saw the distance in front of him with his spare light, where four small black spots were rapidly approaching“ Zeller! Pull up! The plane below is bait! Adjust the height! We have been deceived Warner while readjusting the angle of the plane, while loudly remind his wingman: "pull up! Pull up! Hide in the clouds! Come on“ Long machine! I'm pulling up! Too fast! The response of the plane is a little slow! My God! I see them! It's in my 12 o'clock direction! " After diving for a long distance, the wingman changed his flying attitude. Sailor is trying to raise his altitude, hoping to successfully escape to a safe altitude before being bitten“ Zeller! look out! They fired Warner called out: "circle and pull! Come on
