Chapter 763

"The snow stopped. It seems that we are busy today. " A ground crew member of the German Air Force looked at the weather outside and shook his head in disappointment. In the past two days, the whole sky of Crimson has been covered by clouds and bad weather, so air force pilots and ground crew have got a rare rest time. They are playing cards in their offices and talking about the whole war situation.

German aircraft has always been in an overwhelming position in the east line. The number and quality of fighter planes are almost more than those of their Soviet counterparts. As for the level of pilots, it's even more that university students kill primary school students. Even the German aircraft flying in the sky while carrying out missions never pay attention to Soviet aircraft.

Compared with the German fighter forces, the pilots carrying out the German ground attack mission are hard work. They often have to work overtime and fly between the base and the target. They dropped bombs on the top of their targets, poured out all their ammunition, and then went back in anger.

However, they often had to face the attack of Soviet ground artillery. Sometimes, the Soviets even used rifles and machine guns in their hands to counter the German attack planes that dropped bombs at low altitude. Often, planes with wounds and bullet holes flew back to their bases. Sometimes, the bulletproof steel plates behind the pilots were even full of bullets.

The relatively new German ground attack aircraft is Stuka 2, which is a general-purpose aircraft with low flight speed. It can dive and drop bombs, but it is not as professional as Stuka; It can carry a lot of bombs, but certainly not as many as professional bombers; Its flying speed is similar to that of Stuka, and its hovering ability is slightly stronger... In a word, every feature of the plane is not very distinctive, it is just very easy to produce.

Yes, it's easy to produce. As soon as the stuka-2 was born, it almost affected the whole German industrial system. Many parts of this kind of aircraft are made of leftover materials from the production of fighter planes. The engine also uses second-line mature technology, which does not occupy any production capacity of first-line weapons.

Inspired by the production process of stuka-2, the industry myth of Odin helicopter came into being, and the famous helicopter manufacturer Franco? Elstona. After half a year's exploration, Germany began to test semi-automatic production line technology on tiger king tank, and Germany also embarked on the fast lane of industrial production.

The Stuka 2 is like a trainer. It's very easy to fly and very smooth. This kind of aircraft has a very good advantage, that is, strong. Almost all of the aircraft is reinforced with steel plates and equipped with advanced self sealing fuel tank, which is one of the reasons why it can replace Stuka as the German standard attack aircraft in active service. On the contrary, Stuka is not as strong as Stuka 2. Although the difference is not big, Stuka 2's battle damage rate is lower.

Although Stuka is more accurate, it has some design limitations that are difficult to overcome. Stuka's bomb carrying capacity is too small, so it can only carry one large bomb to carry out the bombing mission, while stuka-2 attacker can carry two of the same bombs, and can also carry some other small bombs. Similarly, there is nothing to be praised about Stuka except for its accurate dive, and the hovering performance of stuka-2 allows it to maintain its firepower over the target all the time.

Another reason for the German air force to fall in love with stuka-2 is that stuka-2 uses a new engine, which is quite fuel-efficient. Although the flight speed is not satisfactory, its reliability and economy are hard to refuse.

Of course, the Stuka 2 also has a place to win the Stuka, that is, the ease of this kind of aircraft. The driving course of this kind of aircraft is very simple. The novice can drop the bomb near the target after simple training. Just because the operation of this kind of aircraft is very simple, the air force usually directly sends the graduated fighter pilots to the front line to let them fly this kind of attack aircraft to train the actual combat flight.

Admiral Catherine called this aircraft a front-line trainer. He even said in public: "this kind of aircraft is a great feat when it is designed. Its appearance allows our pilots to use the most direct way to transition from trainer to front-line combat aircraft."

"This kind of plane saved my life. The Soviets were frantically shooting at me on the ground. I dodged left and dodged right. The bullet hit my thigh and pierced my wing. If I didn't fly Stuka 2, I might never come back. " A German fighter pilot said of his plane: "let me go back to the front, OK. But I only drive it, it gives me infinite confidence. "

Sure enough, the pilots were busy. Just as the pilots were talking about today's fine weather, an officer went into the conference room and gave a battle order to support the front-line operations: "the 1st and 2nd attack squadrons went out to bomb Sevastopol area according to the plum blossom Q plan previously drawn up. 14 Stukas from the squadron next door will attack with you. All right, get ready and take off. "

"Let's go!" The squadron leader put out his hand and gave a finger. Then everyone began to change their own equipment. Some went to the dressing room to change their attendance leather jackets and gloves. Some began to ask the ground crew to help prepare the aircraft's fuel and ammunition. The whole base was busy. In short, for the air force, a sunny day represents a busy day.

"Work! Keep your spirits up Pushing and shoving, a group of young Air Force pilots, carrying their own leather hats, goggles, scarves and other things, walked to their aircraft. Soon, one after another, the stuka-2 fighters started their engines, the propellers began to turn, and the whole base was humming. On the straight runway, the first plane has begun to climb, and not far behind, the second plane is ready for everything. For the German Air Force pilots, this is not the first time to carry out a mission, so it is not so much a battle as a job for them. Soon the attackers formed a flying formation in the sky, and then they flew like locusts to the area they wanted to attack. On the ground, a Soviet soldier leaned in the trench and looked at the clear sky in the distance. He has been here for many days. It can be said that since Khrushchev came to Sevastopol, he has been stationed nearby. Now he is beside a huge crater raised by a German artillery shell and his comrades are working hard. Several Soviet soldiers pushed an old-fashioned Markham heavy machine gun to the side of the crater, used the crater as a machine gun position, placed ammunition in it, and dug a retreat passage in the back. They put the excavated soil into sacks to reinforce the front of the machine gun position as sandbags“ You'd better not waste your time. It's sunny now. In less than half an hour, the German plane will come. " The Soviet veterans in the trenches looked at the busy young people and deeply felt that it was not worth their blind work here. These surface positions with little camouflage can be completely destroyed by only two German bombers. There are two kinds of German attack aircraft, one is the famous Stuka dive bomber, and the other is the ordinary Soviet soldiers do not know the name, they call the mediocre aircraft "boots", a word with slander and contempt. It's a pity that this kind of plane, which they call boots, is not mediocre at all. It caused more harm and fear to the Soviet people than its predecessor, Stuka“ Hey, if we don't set up a machine gun here, you won't even have time to cry when the Germans attack. " A young soldier obviously looked down on the veteran and replied with a trace of ridicule: "if there is an enemy coming up from the side in a moment, we will count on you."“ I think maybe we can't wait until then. " The Soviet veteran sighed and said, "it's not easy to defend here. The main thing is not to look at me, but the blockhouse over there. If it's there, we'll be safe. If it's not there, we'll study the retreat." The young soldiers obviously sneered at the old soldiers' worries: "Comrade Khrushchev won't let us step back, nor should we. This is a war for our motherland. We should fight for our country to the end of our lives. "“ Believe me, the only thing worth fighting to the last moment in the world is your own life. " The veteran looked up and saw some tiny things on the white cloud height: "well, don't say this, damn it, the German plane is coming! Come on, cover up! Send the machine gun to the bunker. Come on! Hurry up“ You're acting like that. How did the German plane come? " After listening to the veteran's words, the machine gunner felt that he was too scared to die, so he didn't like him very much. Now when I heard the old soldier's warning, I laughed and said, "if you run first, it's more like that." As soon as his words came to an end, the Soviet veteran ran towards the blockhouse. He didn't look back, as if he was afraid that he would not occupy an inner position. The rest of the Soviet soldiers roared with laughter, but some cautious people looked up at the sky. Above the clouds, there was a small black spot that had just been blurred. Now a German plane can be seen“ Air raid There was a heartrending cry.
