A nap takes away the fatigue of the battle, but also the anxiety and tension brought about by the battle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a nap, Captain Hans Rudel jumped out of bed and washed his face with cold water to refresh himself.

Look at the watch, it's 1:40 and there are still twenty minutes before the second sortie.

During the pre-departure meeting, Rudel received a message that surprised him.

"That battleship didn't sink? What a lucky guy. Skhanowski shouted in surprise.

Rudel stared at the picture for a moment, then handed it to Lieutenant Rouse next to him.

"Gentlemen, you have all seen that the battleship has been badly damaged by us and is now stranded in the shoals of the southeastern part of the bay. Our combat mission in the afternoon was to continue the air raids on the Russian fleet, so that they could not shell the land with peace of mind, and to relieve the pressure on our brothers in the army. Also, the point is to blow up this stranded battleship so that she can never fire again. ”

After clarifying their mission, the pilots scattered in a hurry and ran to their fighters.

"This is our 400th sortie, God bless us, to be able to take out that big guy first." Rudel shouted confidently.

"That big guy won't move, we can easily drop bombs on his head, the only thing to worry about is their anti-aircraft guns." Skhanowski said.

"I've come up with a way to dodge the anti-aircraft guns, but I don't know if it will work, but I'll borrow your sunglasses first."

Rudel snatched Skhanowski's sunglasses and stuffed them into the pocket of his flight jacket.

At two o'clock, the bomber group set off on time and went to the battlefield again.

As soon as Rudel's group appeared, a shrill siren sounded in the bay on the western side of Leningrad.

On the beach, the busy crew of the battleship Marat suddenly became a mess.

The ongoing maintenance work was immediately stopped, the maintenance crews hurried back to the cabin to take shelter, and a maintenance ship parked on the starboard side of the Marat also pulled anchor and set sail, only the anti-aircraft gunners were gearing up and waiting for the battle.

The aircraft group flew over the harbor and was once again warmly welcomed by the Soviet anti-aircraft artillery group.

Flying shrapnel and exploding waves of air were raging in the sky, and a solemn atmosphere covered the fleet.

"Hans, I've found her, come with me." In the brigade, Lieutenant Law, known as the Eagle Eye, lived up to expectations and was the first to find the location of the battleship Marat.

"Look at what I found? Another battleship of the Russians also came out, and he was firing. Another voice came over the radio.

Rudel searched the surface for nearly a minute, and finally found another large figure in the surface of the ship.

"This big guy didn't know where to hide in the morning, and he only came out now." Skhanowsky also discovered the location of another battleship.

"Regardless of her, our target is the stranded battleship, let's go." Rudel shouted.

"Law, after determining your position, fly towards the sun first, then turn around and rush down with your back to the sun." Rudel shouted.

"Understood."

The two Stuka turned their noses and flew towards the sun hanging in the sky watching the battle, and before turning around, Rudel did not forget to take out his sunglasses and put them on his eyes to filter the harsh sunlight.

Flying towards the sun for a while, Lieutenant Law's voice came.

"I'm going to turn my head, let's go."

The two Stukas turned around one after the other, turned their backs to the sun, and rushed towards the stranded battleship Marat.

The two bombers swooping down with their backs to the sun were like two black dots hidden in the sun, and when some of the anti-aircraft gunners on the battleship Marat saw that the danger was coming, they turned their guns to Rudel, but they saw the harsh sunlight.

Lieutenant Law, who rushed to the front, was the first to drop the bomb, dropping the PC-500 bomb in the belly, and the demon egg spreader hanging under the wings followed and crashed towards the Marat.

The spreader disintegrated in the air, and the SD2 butterfly bombs at the drop site were densely packed over the Marat.

The PC-500 aerial bomb was hidden in it, and it smashed straight into the Marat.

Rudel followed closely and dropped the heavier PC-1000 anti-armor bomb.

The demon eggs that exploded in the air splattered countless steel fragments, and the Soviet crew members who were unfortunately in the shrapnel-covered area spurted blood all over their bodies, screaming and falling to their deaths on the battleship, and the battleship's sturdy steel body was also scratched by shrapnel with countless tiny scratches.

Two aerial bombs fell on their heels.

The PC-500 dropped by Lieutenant Rouse hit the aft deck, and the PC-1000 dropped by Rudel fell between the turrets of Marat II and Marat III, and smashed a large hole in the deck against the chimney, burrowing into the interior of Marat.

As he was piloting the plane out of the battlefield, Rudel heard the shouts of Skhanowsky behind him: "Hit, hit, white, black・・・・・・ she was surrounded by smoke." ”

Rudel glanced back curiously, and saw that in the middle of the battleship, black and white smoke billowed out, covering most of the battleship's hull.

"Is the black smoke the smoke, and the white one the steam? We hit her boiler? Rudel shouted.

Before he could wait for an answer, Rudel heard Lieutenant Rouse's frightened shouts over the radio.

"There's a Russian eyeing me, he's chasing me・・・・・・ I've been shot."

Rudel looked anxiously around, and soon in the sky in front of him, he saw a Stuka with black smoke trailing its tail.

A Soviet fighter jet painted green raised the nose of the plane and skimmed over the Stuka, but behind him, the same chased a fighter with an iron cross on the fuselage.

"I can't hold on anymore, I'm going to skydive." Lieutenant Law's last shout rang out in the sky.

Rudel flew some distance and circled around the sky, quickly finding two parachutes floating in the sky.

After flying half a circle around the two parachutes, Rudel saw the two people hanging in the air waving at him one after another, and then he turned to the side of the fuselage and looked at the ground with confidence.

"Below them is land, in the south-west of Leningrad, which should fall on the heads of the army." Skhanowski spoke Rudel's heart.

"Good luck to you."

Rudel sent his blessing and turned the nose of the plane and flew off the battlefield.

In the evening of the same day, Chen Dao finished his lessons for the army officers and drove back to the airport outside Luga.

"How's it going this afternoon? Did that battleship blow up? ”

Seeing Major General Hersman, Chen Dao asked.

Rear Admiral Hersman explained: "This afternoon, another Russian battleship also appeared, and our men seriously wounded her, at least one torpedo and two bombs hit, but the bay was full of shallows, and she sat in the bay. ”

"How much difference is there between sitting and sting? Didn't the battleship damaged by the Air Force's Stuka brigade in the morning run aground? Well・・・・・・ how is that battleship in condition now? Chen Dao asked.

"According to the battle report from the Air Force, the stranded battleship was severely damaged during the afternoon air raid and received at least five bombs, the most serious of which was inflicted by the captain named Hans Rudel, who hit the boiler compartment of the battleship."

"Air Force, how is it the Air Force again? Even if we are a family, they can't always come to grab people's heads, and you are too humble. ”

Major General Hersman was very slanderous, saying that you are the one who is a family member of the Air Force and the Naval Air Force, and you are the one who dislikes the Air Force to snatch the results of the war.

After a few words, Major General Hersman felt that he had a new understanding of the style of his brother-in-law.

After Chen Dao finished reading the photo in his hand, he casually threw the photo on the table and looked at the roof with squinted eyes.

"Captain Hans Rudel, where do you seem to hear this name? Don't you feel familiar? ”

Major General Hersman nodded and replied affirmatively: "I am familiar with this name, I mentioned him to you at noon. ”

Chen Dao suddenly realized.

"The man who damaged the battleship in the morning air raid was this Captain Hans Rudel, so this captain is a master of bombing warships."

Rear Admiral Hersman said: "It is true, he is very skillful, and he is also very lucky, he did the two heavy damage to that battleship." ”

Chen Dao stared at Major General Hersman, and his eyes flashed with an indescribable light.

"Luck is also part of strength, and since this Captain Rudel is very good at dealing with warships, don't you think we should do something about it?"

Major General Hersman sensed the light in Chen Dao's eyes, and that light contained a powerful emotion, like a bandit rushing into the bank's vault, and it contained all greed.

Seeing that Rear Admiral Hersman did not understand what he meant, Chen Dao said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you think that a ship-explosive expert like Captain Rudel is a serious waste in the Air Force?" ”

Major General Hersman asked, "Are we going to poach people?" Or robbing people? ”

Chen Dao shook his head and said: "No, we and the Air Force are a family, how can we say that it is a robbery?" We're going to hire someone. I have decided to invite Captain Rudel to come to the Naval Aviation Corps to teach our pilots the skills of naval aviation, and when the man comes, he will be arranged to be trained under your command first, so that he can integrate into our naval aviation family as soon as possible. ”

Now that the expert named Hans Rudel was transferred to his command, Rear Admiral Hersmann did not say much more, and wisely chose to go along with Chen Dao.

An hour later, Inmaiman dived and bombed the stationing of the first brigade of the wing.

Major Dinot, the captain of the 1st Brigade, warmly patted Rudel and Skhanowski on the shoulders and said with a smile: "First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your 400th successful sortie. The destruction of a Russian battleship is the best commemoration of your 400th sortie. As a commander and comrade-in-arms, I have decided to give each of you a Havana cigar as a souvenir, not too little, I only have three and a half cigars in total. ”

Rudel and Skhanowski smiled and took the cigar and put it under their noses to sniff the tobacco.

"And good news, Hans, you're famous." Major Dinott said.

"Your achievements have attracted the attention of the naval aviation, and General Rosen personally ordered you to be a guest of the naval aviation and teach them the skills of bombing battleships, but it was a major admiral."

Major Dinot's words caused an exclamation among the onlookers who did not know the truth, and the good friends around him stared at Rudell with envious eyes.

"A major general is waiting for you, don't keep him waiting, pack your things and set off quickly." Major Dinott said.

"How long am I going?" Rudel asked.

"They only said that they would seconded you for a while, and it shouldn't be long." Major Dinott said.

・・・・・・

The first time Chen Dao looked at Captain Rudel, the focus of his gaze fell on Rudel's chin.

This chin with a slit in the middle is familiar, as if where have you seen it?

Chen Dao thought about it, and suddenly remembered that he had seen this kind of chin on the face of a captain named Joachim Piper in the Hitler Youth Division, who was also a combat hero.

Could it be that the captains with such jaws are all macho men? Shouldn't I do a survey in the German army to see how many captains still have such chins?

In the salute of the two air force officers, Chen Dao put away his cranky thoughts, stood up and shook hands with Rudel warmly.

"On behalf of naval aviation, I welcome you, Major Rudel, Captain Skanovsky."

Rudel explained confusedly: "General Rosen, my rank is captain. ”

"Not now, since you have joined the Naval Aviation, I will give you the rank of Navy, so you are now a major of the Naval Aviation, and a captain of the Naval Aviation, I am not mistaken. The formalities are being processed, and soon you will be representatives of the outstanding young officers who straddle the Luftwaffe and the Navy. ”

Major General Hersman took over.

"Remember, the Luftwaffe and the Naval Air Force are family, and when you come, don't be inhibited, just treat it as your home."

Rudel and Skanovsky nodded stiffly, as if they understood something.

"General Hersman will be your direct boss in the future, you should follow him first to familiarize yourself with the environment here, and get along with your new comrades-in-arms as soon as possible."

Chen Dao dismissed the dazed Rudel and the two, turned around and sat back in the office chair.

The naval aviation will never allow to miss the existence of such a bull, and I can only borrow Jingzhou from Liu Bei, and I will not pay it back.

Chen Dao made up his mind.
