Chapter 391： Return with injury

"Turn off the engine." Inside the Junker-88 bomber, the atmosphere was a little nervous.

Just now, in order to throw bombs, they had to brave the gunfire of the British warships and continue to move forward. As a result, a 40mm shell hit the engine on the right!

If it is a 40mm shell of the Bofors antiaircraft artillery, this gun might be able to explode the engine directly, or even tear apart half of the wing. In that case, your own bomber, don’t expect to fly. gone back.

But now, the power of the British banging guns is quite limited.

Just by comparing the shells, you can know that this kind of shell is much smaller than Bofors' shells, with less propellant, and its power is correspondingly small.

This shot just broke the engine, but the wings were still intact.

First of all, turn off the engine to prevent the fuel from leaking out, which ignited a fire, burned half of the wing, and then could not fly back.

The engine was successfully shut down, and at the same time, the fire extinguishing device was automatically activated. Soon, the small flame inside disappeared, and a faint blue smoke continued to emerge from it.

Looking out from my cabin, I can see the three-blade propeller. One blade is bent and the whole propeller is in a fixed state.

Bescher pushed his joystick vigorously, and because the engine on one side had stalled, the aircraft had a serious yaw. He had to use the torque of the rudder to keep the aircraft in balance.

"We are going home now." Bescher's composure infected the people around him.

A Junker-88, with four crew members, they now belong to a whole.

An engine is destroyed, can they fly back? From here to the base, there are thousands of kilometers of long sea flight. If there is a problem halfway, they will definitely die.

But, jump down and escape now? Of course not, this is still the territory of the British, and they will be prisoners if they go down!

Bescher was quite calm at this time. The bomb had been thrown and his mission had ended. Now, all he had left was to return with his crew.

If he had just given him a chance to make a new choice, he would still continue to attack. That is his mission. Even if this bomber was hit and exploded on the spot, it would be worth it. The warship below is better than his bomber. More valuable.

As a bomber pilot, this is what he must do.

Now that the bombing mission is completed, his new mission is to fly the plane back.

Can? He is not 100% sure, but he has to behave, he has to give his companions confidence!

There was only one engine left, and his flying speed immediately slowed down. Now, he carefully pulls the joystick to make the plane climb up at a small angle.

The higher the altitude, the thinner the air, and the lower the resistance. He must rise to a height of at least two kilometers before he can use the existing fuel to return to the base.

The Junkers-88 bomber became sluggish, as if it were an old man.

The Jumo211 engine is rotating at full speed. At this time, the advantages of the liquid-cooled engine are fully demonstrated.

This engine is a 12-cylinder, V-type engine designed by the Junkers Engine Company, which was also established by the Junkers Aircraft Company in 1923. Compared with the Mercedes-Benz DB601 series, it is slightly larger in size, but with low fuel consumption and reliable performance, it is very suitable for equipping medium-sized aircraft such as tactical bombers.

If it is an air-cooled engine, it is easy to overheat at low altitude and full power operation, especially when the flying speed is relatively low. Even the B-29 was caused by the problem of engine overheating.

But now, the liquid-cooled engine doesn't matter, the cooler continuously radiates the heat, and the cooler is just behind the propeller, which works very well.

The engine runs at full power for a long time without any problems.

In the back seat, the machine gunner Mueller watched warily at the rear hemisphere of his bomber.

This kind of medium bomber cannot have multiple gun positions like a large bomber, and like a light bomber, it can only provide simple protection. For example, a general bomber has a machine gunner behind it.

However, this is a medium bomber after all, which is very large, so more machine guns can be installed.

If you look from the outside, you can see the front and rear of the cockpit are machine guns.

There is a MG81J single-barrel rotary 7.92mm machine gun on the front windshield A, shooting forward from the main cockpit windshield glass.

At the rear of the main cockpit, there is an armored seat B. There are two MG81J single-barrel rotary 7.92mm machine guns installed in two different positions to cover the upper hemisphere area behind.

At the same time, there is a MG81Z double-barreled 7.92mm machine gun on the armored Bola pod under the cockpit, covering the rear hemisphere area below.

In addition to these, when performing other tasks, you can also have an external machine gun to replace it.

Muller is a novice. He has just joined the Air Force for half a year. After passing complicated tests, shaking many laps on various rollers, and still being able to aim at the target, he became a machine gunner.

This is his first time on the battlefield.

In the last bombing, he was just a spectator. There was no enemy plane here. Now, he has started to return to the flight. It is said that he should relax, but for some reason, he always has an ominous premonition.

This hunch became reality in the next moment From the billowing smoke, a biplane aircraft jumped out, and from behind, it rushed towards your own aircraft!

"There is a target behind!" Mueller shouted loudly. Then, he fixed his eyes on the sight closely, and as soon as the opponent came close, he would fire immediately!

At this moment, he held his breath.

In the distance, the target was getting closer and closer. It was a double-winged swordfish attack aircraft. At this time, in the open cockpit, a pilot was flying over angrily.

Yes, Jack is here.

The entire base is under German bombardment. Under this circumstance, Jack, as a naval aviation unit, has a deep sense of powerlessness. His plane is too backward to catch up with any German bomber. , Launch an attack!

Almost all German bombers flew at a speed of 3 to 400 kilometers per hour. The swordfish attack aircraft flew at full speed to 225 kilometers per hour. The difference in speed caused Jack to hover on the battlefield. Waiting for the opportunity.

No one noticed him, the bomber group focused their attention on their target, this small plane, they simply did not pay attention to it.

Jack's heart was suffering. After continuing to fly for a few minutes, he finally found the target. The speed of the damaged bomber was already very slow!

Catch up, attack!
