Chapter 1160: Frozen Deck (Add. 1)
After stepping into the cockpit, Franz quickly started the engine, in fact, Stuka on the ship, there is a big drawback, because this kind of aircraft is water-cooled, the warship must be loaded with more fresh water for Stuka to use, which is also the reason why the German Navy prefers to use F190 aircraft, air-cooled engine, maintenance is more convenient.
With the sound of the electric current stimulating the motor, the engine of the Stuka bomber emitted puffs of black smoke and was easily started, and the first plane was originally at the take-off point.
At this time, the sea breeze in the Baltic Sea was very strong, and the Goethe-class aircraft carriers turned around and turned to the headwind, and at the same time, the catapults on the deck were also ready.
"764, catapult takeoff." The words of the deck catapult operator came from inside the headset, and with the sound, Franz felt a huge thrust coming from his back, and his body was tightly pressed against the left wing behind him, indicating that the plane was accelerating.
At this time, in his back seat, the Heavy was even more uncomfortable because he was sitting backwards, the seat belt was strangled around the Heavy body, and the Heavy felt the muscles on his face being pulled back.
No one likes catapult take-off, however, it is a must.
The Goethe-class aircraft carriers have a small displacement, limited deck length, and at the same time low speed, which cannot guarantee the take-off of carrier-based aircraft with a full load, so Germany's own Goethe-class aircraft carriers are equipped with catapults.
In this era, catapults are not uncommon, battleships, cruisers equipped with seaplanes, it is by catapult that take off, that taste, absolutely sour.
However, these warships use hydraulic catapults, and Goethe-class aircraft carriers have begun to be equipped with steam catapult devices. The greater the power of such a catapult, the more indescribable the feeling of the pilot.
The German Navy has to adapt to catapult take-off, at the top level, it is quite clear why, with the continuous advancement of technology, the German Navy will have more advanced aircraft, when the jets are on the ship, there is no catapult that is absolutely a disaster.
Now, the German Navy has to adapt to catapult take-off, and at the same time, various technical problems related to blocking the landing are also being overcome.
With the action of the catapult, the fighter plane was moving at high speed, and the entire deck was filled with steam.
Second, third, and one after another Stuka bombers, loaded with a ton of bombs in their bellies, catapulted off from the deck.
"Next!" At this time, the most important test is the ability of the personnel on the deck to schedule operations.
On the Zeppelin-class with an angled deck layout, even four fighters could take off at the same time, but not on the now cramped Goethe-class, where the German Navy became more and more proficient in operation over the years, and the efficiency of the ejection was quite high.
Now, it's the fifth.
The deck crew hooked the Stuka's landing gear to the tow bar. Suddenly, the deck crew's feet slipped and they fell to the ground.
He didn't care about covering his aching buttocks, his hand, touching the incomparably smooth deck, his face changed: "Stop taking off, stop taking off, the deck is already frozen." ”
The temperature here is still very low, and now, during the ejection process, the steam catapult will leak some of the steam from the gap above. The steam spread across the deck, and now a thin layer of ice has formed on the deck.
At high latitudes, it was necessary to solve the problem of icing catapults, and now the German Navy was just encountering it for the first time.
The icy deck would make the take-off of the aircraft full of risks, and the news quickly spread to the bridge, and the captain had no choice but to give the order to suspend take-off and carry out deck de-icing operations.
On the battleship "Scharnhorst", the commander of the fleet, Brigadier General Friedrich Bondi, also received this news, and he looked at the planes that were already in formation over the fleet, did he want them to wait?
Of course not!
Before the deck froze, three aircraft carriers, a total of twelve Stuka took off, of course this is not enough, waiting for the next wave of planes to take off, I don't know when, since the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier can not provide enough offensive firepower, then rely on your own main fleet to go up to the decisive battle!
The confrontation of the battleships was the most exciting, and now, in Friedrich's heart, there was a faint expectation.
He is a veteran of the First World War, in the First World War, he used to be at sea, fighting for the glory of the German Navy, after the First World War, the huge German Navy disappeared, he hesitated, despaired, fortunately he survived, and now, the strength of the German Navy, let him be full of the glory and sense of mission of the soldiers.
"Leave two destroyers behind and protect our aircraft carrier formation, and the rest of the battleships and cruisers, advance at maximum speed!"
Billowing black smoke rose from the chimney of the Scharnhorst, and the boiler was burning at maximum power, and the powerful steam entered the high-pressure turbine steam engine, propelling the ship to accelerate at sea.
With 160,000 horsepower, the battlecruiser accelerated to a top speed of 32 knots. Behind it, the Strasbourg was also accelerating.
On this battleship, the flag of Vichy France was hoisted, and yes, it was not a German battleship, but a French one.
When France was about to be destroyed by Germany, the British Navy carried out a sneak attack on the French Navy, which made the French Navy indignant, and in that sneak attack, the Strasbourg was also damaged, after which the French Navy retaliated frantically, shelling Gibraltar and providing fire support in the war on British soil.
And now, following the German Navy, the warship entered the Baltic Sea to participate in the siege of the Baltic Fleet of the Soviets, which for the French soldiers no longer mattered.
They even fought the British Navy, what else could they not do? Fighting the Soviets, they were even more vigorous.
One by one, the battleships were accelerating, heading east at high speed, and above them, Stuka bombers had already overtaken them, speeding towards the east.
Franz sat in his cabin, looking out at the hazy land in the distance, and his heart was full of war.
The Soviet Navy, wait for the attack of the German Navy.
At this time, in Tallinn, the base of the Baltic Fleet of the Soviet Union, warships one after another had already pulled anchor and set sail.
When the war began, the Baltic Fleet was put on high alert, their warships did not turn off at all, the steam in the boilers was always maintained, and now after receiving the order, they only need to increase the power, and they will be able to start.
Inside the harbor, smoke billowed from the harbor.
