Chapter 1181： Hard takeoff (2)

The first Pei-8 bomber just took off from the airport and fell less than a thousand meters high when pulled up. The sound from the radio silenced the personnel on the other planes.

On the second Pei-8 bomber from the back, Captain Alexander Takunin broke the silence: "Plane No. 2 requested to take off."

At this time, where the first bomber crashed, there was already a big fire. Although it was a diesel engine, it did not mean it did not burn. After the crash, the heat generated by the impact was enough to burn the aircraft, even though If it doesn't burn, it falls down, and there is no chance that the personnel will survive.

This is war, this is the mission of a soldier, even if it is dead, it must be completed.

"Take off immediately."

A command came from the headset. He pushed the throttle stick and released the brakes. The Pe-8 bomber ran on the runway, then pulled up and rushed into the dark night sky.

One, another, it seemed that the crash of the previous bomber was for them to practice. The bombing in the back did not happen accidentally. All the eleven Pei-8 bombers took off normally.

After the Pe-8 bomber took off, it was the third echelon.

Compared with the Pe-8 bomber squadron, the takeoff of the Yer-2 fleet of the 1st squadron of the 420th bomber regiment behind was definitely a terrible disaster.

That year, after Mussolini began to flourish in Italy, all parties in Italy were hit. Afterwards, Italian gc member Roberto L. Battini had to leave Italy and came to the Soviet Union.

As an excellent aircraft designer, he has created an all-metal single-gull-wing twin-engine STAL-7 with excellent performance.

This kind of aircraft was originally designed as a passenger plane, but its powerful ammunition capacity makes it a natural choice for a bomber.

As a result, the improvement of this aircraft is proceeding rapidly. It was designed by Yemorayev. The STAL-7 wing was used almost intact. The semi-monocoque cabin was greatly modified and the bomb was added. The cockpit opens to the left, and the nose is equipped with glass for the bomber to observe and operate. In order to improve the firing range of the turret, the single vertical tail of the STAL-7 was changed to a double vertical tail and inclined by 5 degrees.

The aircraft made its first flight last year and was mass-produced and renamed Yer-2.

From this point of view, this aircraft should be considered a fairly mature aircraft, but unfortunately, the Soviet engine technology has always failed. This improved bomber still faces engine problems.

The 1100 horsepower Klimov M-105R twelve-cylinder V liquid-cooled engine. Compared with the take-off weight of the aircraft, the power of this engine is not large enough, and what is even more greasy is that this is a low-altitude engine.

To put it more simply, because there is no suitable supercharger, when the altitude increases, the engine's power drops sharply due to insufficient air intake, and it can no longer operate normally.

Because this kind of aircraft is very sensitive to weather conditions, it must face the enemy's air defense fire and fighter interception at low altitude.

At the same time, the huge bomb load of the aircraft increased the load on the control surface, so that the longitudinal and lateral stability were not very good. The underpowered M-105 engine significantly extended the take-off and run distance.

Now, on the first bomber, Lieutenant Alexander Morodsky began a difficult takeoff.

The engines on both sides roared, he pushed the lever, and the bomber began to roll forward, because there were too many bombs loaded, he had to adjust the power of the throttle to the maximum.

The second fire flashed past his plane, and then the third fire.

And just after the third fire had passed, his plane still didn't pull up.

At the end of the soil runway, he pulled his control stick vigorously. Finally, the aircraft's landing gear left the ground, but just as it flew two meters high, the aircraft fell down again!

Under the heavy impact, the entire landing gear was broken, the plane tilted to one side, and the wings slid across the ground, sparks appeared.

This Ye-2 bomber crashed just after taking off.

It's almost the same as the Pei-8 bomber just now. It happened when it took off, but the aircraft behind it won't stop.

They keep their mission in mind.

Fight bravely for the Soviets!

The second Ye-2 bomber also started to take off, but it only slid out for more than 100 meters before it stopped.

The aircraft had a mechanical failure and could not continue to take off.

Then, the third one also inexplicably malfunctioned.

In the entire bombing regiment, in the end, only three Ye-2 bombers successfully flew up and entered the dark night sky, which simply put the Soviet bombers to shame.

Moreover, these three of them appeared in front of everyone for the last time.

Lieutenant Vladimir Malinin, Lieutenant Kubiko, Captain Stepanov, and the captain of the three Ye-2 bombers joined the final sequence of bombing Berlin, waiting for their unknown fate.

The night sky is extremely dark.

At this time, the first DB-3 bomber that took off has been flying for nearly an hour For them, such a slow voyage would take another three hours to reach Berlin. When returning, because it was empty and because of the tailwind, it only took three hours in total.

Of course, if they can come back.

Colonel Yekinni-Przhblaczynski looked outside. It was pitch black everywhere. Near the front, the Germans had implemented light control, not to mention that they were now on the Baltic Sea.

Because their bombers have a limited range, they can only fly in a straight line. At the same time, they have to fly at high altitudes so that they can save fuel.

Yekini knows that the Germans have advanced reconnaissance radars that can spot aircraft tens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers away. Fortunately, they are far enough from the coastline, and those radars deployed on the coast should not be searchable. They, and when they enter the land from the sky over Poland, all the way to Berlin, they have to turn to low altitude.

They guessed right, and it is true. The radar technology in this era is still not perfect, such as the main German FuGM39/62Wurzburg short-range land-based warning radar. The effective detection distance is 170KM, the ranging accuracy is 100M, and the angle measurement accuracy is 0.2 degrees.

Another example is the FuMO51Mammut long-range land-based warning radar. The effective detection distance is 300KM, the ranging accuracy is 300M, and the angle measurement accuracy is 0.5 degrees.

These radars are deployed on the Polish coastline and can spot aircraft on the Baltic Sea from a long distance. In fact, they will be spotted if they fly one or two hundred kilometers forward.

At the same time, they did not know that at this time, under them, there was a German Goethe-class aircraft carrier. ()
