U-2 is a biplane primary trainer designed by the famous Soviet aircraft designer Nikolai Polykabov. It flew for the first time in 1928 and mass production began in 1930. It continued until 1953, with a total output of about 33,000. frame.
Before the car, the Soviet Union did not have its own coach aircraft. Polkapov's design principles are: "simple, reliable and low-cost", and named this aircraft "U-2", which means "trainer-2".
In this era, it must be a biplane with an open two-cockpit. The body is made of pine wood frame, linen skinned, and wire cables between the upper and lower wings. The power plant uses an M-11 air-cooled piston star 5-cylinder engine to drive a two-blade wooden propeller with a power of 100 horsepower.
After production, this aircraft immediately won the favor of the majority of aviation personnel. Its simple structure, low cost, easy production and maintenance, especially excellent operating performance and outstanding take-off and landing performance have cultivated a large number of aviation personnel for the Soviet Union.
Later, in 1944, to commemorate the death of Polkapov, U-2 was renamed Bo-2.
At the same time, because of the excellent New Year, this aircraft has been improved in various ways. It is used as a liaison aircraft, an ambulance aircraft, a night bomber, a jammer, a transport aircraft, etc. Its biggest feature is of course its simple take-off and landing, as long as there is a small piece of it. Smooth grass can take off and land smoothly.
Now, this Uzbek-2 plane flew to Brest New Town last night and sent some supplies. Because it is small and flexible, it landed directly on the football field in the city. After that, it has not taken off. .
Now, this plane happened to be used by Timoshenko and Pavlov to escape.
They did not run away, but to avoid being captured by the Germans and causing serious diplomatic problems. Yes, that's it!
Timosin gave the command to his adjutant. Then, taking Pavlov and riding in a car, he quickly rushed to the playground. The two jumped into the open cargo hold at the back, and then demanded The pilot took off.
Fortunately, this was a modified aircraft. If it were the original trainer, it would only have two seats. There was a pilot in the front and two people in the back needed to squeeze.
The cargo compartment was not spacious, and the two of them squatted halfway inside, exposing their heads, looking ahead.
A ground crew pulled the propeller by hand to help start the plane. After a puff of black smoke came out, the plane was successfully started. Then, the pilot pushed the throttle lever and got ready to take off.
The take-off and landing distance of a biplane is very short, and this kind of aircraft only needs 80 meters of taxiing to get up.
However, just after the plane taxied, a German tank appeared!
The Germans came too fast!
First, of course, because of the first-class maneuverability of the German armored forces, they were originally as fast as lightning, and second, because the Soviets had no line of defense in the rear.
The combat-capable troops were deployed to the front line and attacked the fortresses. In the rear, there were only some suppressing artillery. Under the bombardment of the opposite fortress, the artillery positions were all over. When the German armored forces came over, they did not resist at all.
In this way, the German armored soldiers rushed into the city!
"Found a German tank!" the pilot shouted: "Oh, the police, they opened fire on us!"
"Take off, continue to take off!" Temusin shouted loudly, don't worry about it, as long as you fly, you won't be afraid of anything!
"Boom!" Almost at this moment, a huge explosion sounded, and the opponent's grenade, uneven, hit an open space 20 meters in front of it, and raised a big crater!
Countless pieces of debris followed, and the pilot could only bend over and dodge below, at the same time, release the accelerator and apply the brake.
"We must stop!" the pilot shouted.
No way, for this kind of small aircraft, the landing gear is a fixed main wheel and a tail skid. In other words, the pilot does not have any control capabilities, and the ground personnel must help when taxiing and turning.
Now, if it continues to rush forward, the only result is to hit the big hole.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the engine in front suddenly become extremely loud, and black smoke came out.
No, a flying fragment hit the engine!
The star engine has good damage resistance. After being hit by shrapnel, it can continue to run. However, this is a risk. For example, the fuel of an airplane may be ignited!
As if hearing his scariest thoughts, the black smoke in front of them turned into flames, and the engine caught fire!
"Quick, jump down!" the pilot shouted. He couldn't take care of the two generals behind him. He couldn't protect himself. The fire spread quickly. Before the plane stopped, he jumped from above.
The two people behind were also in a hurry. Timoshenko was still agile. He stepped on Pavlov’s body and jumped off. When he touched the ground, he rolled five or six on the ground. He stopped, and when he stood up swayingly, he saw Pavlov jump down too, but he still carried a flame!
Pavlov jumped to the ground and fought a few times. The fire was extinguished, but the hair on the back of his head was scorched and grinned in pain.
On the ground, there was a violent vibration. The two raised their heads and saw the tank, which had already moved rumblingly!
The hatch of the tank was opened, and a commander came out from above, pushing the machine gun on the top of the tank, and aimed at them: "Hello, two generals. I am glad to see you!"
Karl Bowman was quite excited. At this time, the two people on the opposite side were still wearing military uniforms with military ranks. The generals on them were so dazzling.
These two people are high-ranking Soviet commanders!
Maybe, they are the two people you are looking for!
"Company commander, found two Soviet generals." Bowman exclaimed excitedly on the radio.
He didn't know the two in front of him. It was impossible to send photos of the Soviets to each of them, but the company commander must know!
There was a constant roar behind, accompanied by the peculiar high-pressure oil pump of the diesel engine, tiger tanks came up, and the company commander got off his tank, holding a submachine gun, and shouting loudly: "Bauman, you have done a great job!"
The company commander knew Timoshing. When the Soviet Union and Germany met here, there was a joint military parade. At that time, Timoshing was the commander-in-chief of the Soviets!
At that time, Timusin was aloof, but now, Timusin had to raise his hands.
As a soldier, today is his most humiliating day.
