Chapter 30: Friends
"Shell 3 is called "Beach", "Shell 3" is called "Beach", and I am now heading 282 at altitude 1500. Prepare to enter Area Six. ”
"This is the beach", "Shell 3", you must search carefully and pay attention to safety. Report as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, Shell III understands. ”
Luftwaffe Lieutenant Sluton let go of the communicator button, he gently kicked the rudder, the Cāo longitudinal rod pushed forward slightly, and the AR196 reconnaissance plane made a beautiful arc and flew obliquely towards the sea in the distance.
"Lowe, what do you think we'll find this time?" Sluton asked the observer who was sitting behind him.
"I don't know, Lieutenant, I'm a little worried, it's too close to those Britons. Lieutenant. ”
"Don't worry, their fighters in France have already been defeated by us, and those on their islands only dare to nest in their homes. We are safe. You have to pay attention and don't miss anything, and the situation here is very important. ”
"Understood, Lieutenant."
The AR190 lowered the altitude a little, maintained at an altitude of 1000 meters and began to fly at a rapid speed.
"Lieutenant, there's a situation!" Lowe suddenly saw something.
"Where?"
"We're thirty degrees ahead of us."
Sluton tilted the plane slightly and flew towards the sea in that direction.
"Three small cargo ships." Observer hands holding binoculars and watching. "There are no flags. But judging from the type of ship, it looks like a Dutch coastal freighter. ”
"Report to headquarters immediately." Sluton commanded. "The Netherlands are already occupied by us, and their ships should not be here."
"Understood, Lieutenant." sandy beach". "Beach" here is "Shell Three". Hear no. ”
"I heard it, Shell Three, I heard it very clearly. What's going on. ”
"We found three small Dutch freighters in the area of Six, and their position was 132A1231F, and those ships had a course of 87 and a speed of about 8 knots."
"Keep watching, Shell 3, can you read the names of those ships? ”
"Please wait a moment for the "beach", we can try. ”
Lowe then called out to Slutton, "Lieutenant, they want us to find out the names of the ships."
"I see."
Sluton lightly pressed down the Cāo longitudinal rod, and the plane began to dive slowly down towards the three small freighters. As he flew over the ships, Sluton began to circle around them. Sluton was so skilled that he flew the light reconnaissance plane at an altitude only a little higher than the masts of the ships, and he could even make out the faces of the sailors who were waving their fists at him.
"They must be angry, look at what they look like." Sluton said to Lowe with a smile.
“n14。 n15。 N20 "Lowe clearly didn't hear Slutton. "They erased the name of the ship, they were supposed to be military transport ships requisitioned by the British Navy."
"Then report to HQ quickly." Sluton shouted. "They are sailing towards the Red 2 minefield. Either they are crazy and want to kill themselves, or the British have already swept a way there. Report to HQ quickly. ”
"Beach", "Beach", here is "Shell Three", we have already identified...... Lieutenant, be careful, they are going to open fire on us. Lowe cried out in fear.
"See, you keep reporting, I can handle it." Sluton also saw machine guns mounted on the bridges and sterns of the small boats, and the British sailors were scrambling to reload the machine guns.
Sluton knew he was in trouble, and now he was in a bad position, and he was passing through the middle of the boats, flying from the stern to the bow. Turning in either direction now exposes its fragile belly to one of the boats, and it's too late to climb, and the AR196 has a hard time climbing fast at this speed. Now it was only hard to break through, and Sluton slammed the throttle down, depressing the nose, and the engine roared. AR196 was moving fast against the sea, and the strong air flow of the propeller left a white trail on the sea behind the tail of the plane.
"Click, click, click......" The crisp sound of the Maximine anti-aircraft machine gun rang out. The British sailors frantically poured bullets at the small reconnaissance plane, which for a moment was simply swallowed up by countless flying tracer bullets.
Sluton gritted his teeth and pushed the accelerator hard, his eyes fixed on the sea in front of him, as long as he flew out of this dangerous distance, he could start climbing, and then it would be safe. He didn't even pay attention to the tracer bullets that screeched past the cockpit cover, and he didn't care about the terrible "thump" sound when the bullets hit the shell of the plane, all he knew now was that he was flying his plane madly and sprinting against the sea, and that if he rushed out, it would be a victory.
The plane finally rushed out of the terrible rain of bullets, and the tracer bullets flying outside the cockpit disappeared at once, and in front of him was an empty sea, and the freighters were left far behind. Although the whole process was only a few seconds, it was as long as years had passed for Slutton. Sluton let out a slow breath and pulled up the cāo bar, and the plane began to climb slowly, only then did Sluton realize that his flight suit was soaked with sweat.
"Luo Wei, how are you, it's really dangerous ahead, I didn't expect this kind of small cargo ship to have such fierce firepower. It's good that our engine didn't get hit, otherwise everything would have been over. Did you report the situation here to headquarters? Lowe? ”
"Lieutenant, I'm in a bit of a bad situation." Luo Wei replied weakly in the back cabin.
"What's wrong!"
Sluton hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see his observer hand leaning on the side of the cockpit, the safety belt loosened, and Luo Wei was holding the first-aid hemostatic kit to press the wound inside the flight suit, and the blood had already stained his flight suit blood-red.
"Lowe! You've been shot! Sluton saw a series of bullet holes in the cockpit wall.
"Hell, they hit you. How are you hurting, can you hold on? ”
"I don't know, Lieutenant, it looks serious, I don't know how long it will last, they may have hit me in the lung." Lowe said weakly, and then he began to cough violently, blood gushing out of his mouth.
"Hold on. Lowe, I'll be back soon, you have to hold on, press the wound. Don't talk. Sluton turned his head and quickly pointed his compass at the return course. Then he began to turn, he was afraid that Luo Wei might not be able to stand the violent maneuvering, so he carefully and gently cāo rode the plane in the direction of the base.
"Lieutenant." Lowe shouted Sluton in the back cabin.
"Something."
"I haven't had time to report the situation here to HQ yet."
"It's okay, I'll report it. You have to hold on, a German pilot should not die at the hands of an idiot British sailor. Besides, he was a crappy gunslinger. Sluton encouraged Lowe, and he pressed the comm button.
"Shell 3" is called "Beach", and "Shell 3" is called "Beach". ”
"This is the beach, Shell Three, what's going on up ahead, are you being attacked? ”
"The three Dutch freighters we found earlier are military transports requisitioned by the British, and the ship numbers are ......" Sluton suddenly couldn't remember the numbers of those ships.
“n14。 n15。 n20。 Lowe reminded him weakly, and then began to vomit blood again.
"The ship number is, N14. n15。 n20。 They are heading towards the Red 2 minefield, and they may have cleared a shipping lane. Their course was 84 and their speed was 8 knots. Also, they are armed, my observer hand was hit and was seriously injured, please prepare rescuers immediately at the base. I'm now on my way back. ”
"Got it, Shell Three, we'll have everything ready, and, well done, Shell Three. ”
"Thank you." Sluton let go of the communication button.
"Luo Wei, you have to resist, they are ready to rescue, as soon as we arrive at the airport, you can get the best ambulance, rest assured."
"I can persevere. When the war is over, I'll go with you to Paris. ”
"Hahaha, good, I'll take you to the best restaurant there to eat when the time comes. You can also buy beautiful clothes and jewelry for your Ilsa. Think of your little Ilsa, how beautiful she is, and she's still waiting for you to bring a gift home. I can't wait to see her look in the finest Parisian fashion. ”]
"Ahem. Cough. Ahem......" Lowe coughed violently.
"Hey, it's okay." Sluton asked with concern.
"It's okay, I just thought of Ilsa, and now I'm going to stick to it even more, I must not let you use my sister's brain after I die."
"What does it matter, I'm the best pilot in the regiment, and I've won so many medals. Don't worry, she will be happy with me. ”
"She's only 16 years old, you dandy, it's a shame to the Luftwaffe. I've decided I'm going to kill you before I die. Lieutenant. "Lowe didn't realize that he and Slutton had started calling each other by you.
"Hahaha, you guy, then we have to land. Hold on. ”
"Understood, Lieutenant."
"Call me Sluton, haven't we been friends for a long time, why do you keep calling me Lieutenant."
"Because you've always had bad intentions for my sister."
“……”
The hemostatic bag was already soaked in blood, and Lowe began to wonder if he could really hold on.
The plane began to lower its altitude, and now the coastline of Calais, France, was clearly visible. Sluton finally put his mind at ease, it seemed that it should be in time, and Lowe would be saved as long as he held on for another ten minutes.
Sluton suddenly noticed two black dots on his upper left and rushed down towards him.
"Huh? Your own people? ”
Sluton stared at the two black dots. The two black dots were still swooping down on them.
"It doesn't seem good, how could this happen."
As the distance got closer, Sluton finally got a clear view of what the two planes looked like, with gray shells, double-layered wings, unsightly engine fairings, and enclosed cockpits.
"Gladiator"! Hell, how can you run into a British plane near your own base? Lowe, hold on a little longer, buckle the safety belt, we've got company. ”
Luo Wei also saw the two planes, he quickly struggled to buckle the safety belt, and then struggled to turn his seat to the rear, one hand tightly covering the wound, and the other hand pulled the handle of the MG13 aviation machine gun.
"Let them come, Sluton, you don't have to worry about me, I can withstand it."
"Okay, friend, let them know how good we are. Huh? What do you call me? I think I hear you call my name. ”
Without waiting for Lowe to answer, Sluton slammed the plane sideways, and then with a reverse buckle, the plane swooped down to the ground. The two "gladiators" apparently did not expect this reconnaissance plane to make such a move, and they pounced and swept past the side of the AR196.
"Okay, Lowe, is there no problem?" Sluton was still a little worried that his maneuver would make Lowe unbearable.
"It's okay, I think my bleeding may have stopped a bit, it's not as bad as it was before." Lowe pressed his blood-gushing wound tightly, gritting his teeth and pretending to answer easily.
"I think we're going to land as fast as possible, and I'll try to get rid of them." Sluton increased his throttle and flew desperately towards his airport.
"They should be following again, Slutton, I can't see them right now." Lowe felt that he might be dying, and now the scene in front of him was blurry, and he felt that he had no strength to pull the trigger, and the sound of the engine in his ears became as if it was coming from a long distance, and then he found that his eyes were suddenly dark and unconscious.
"Hold on." Sluton shouted, but Lowe didn't answer, and Sluton quickly looked back and found that Lowe's head had dropped from one side of the seat.
"Damn, damn it. These damn Brits! Hold on, Lowe, and see how I avenge you, friend. ”
Then Slutton's sharp pole plane circled sharply, turned around and pounced on the two "gladiators".
Lowe ...... Lowe ......"
Luo Wei felt in a daze that someone was calling him, the voice seemed to be coming from a distance at first, and then it became more and more clear as it got closer and closer, who was calling me, wasn't I already dead? Could it be that an angel is calling me? Why can't I see anything? No, this voice is familiar to me, who is it? By the way, it's Sluton, it's him, he's calling me.
Luo Wei suddenly woke up from his coma, he opened his eyes, and looked around blankly. The first thing that caught his eye was the concerned face of Lieutenant Slutton.
"Haha, you're finally awake, you know you've been in a coma for a day, I thought you'd sleep like this forever. Then you'll have to let me take care of your little Ilsa. ”
"Hehehe, Lieutenant, my wound is still very painful, I hope you don't make me laugh at this joke again. I remember we were being chased by two "gladiators" before I lost consciousness, and how did you escape the pursuit? ”
Sluton smirked and said, "I thought you were dead, and it was going mad at me. I turned around and prepared to fight the two bitches. Unexpectedly, those two chops turned out to be rookies. They rushed at me and prepared to fight me. As a result, I used our 20mm cannon to kill their long machine out of their range, and the rest of it ran away right away. That's when I realized that you still had a breath, so I quickly landed at the base. You're a big deal, the doctor said it's a miracle that you survived, you know how ...... I was."
Sluton stopped suddenly, he looked at Lowe who was smiling, and slowly stretched out his hand.
"It's good to see you back, friend."
"Me too, friend!"
Lowe gripped Slutton's hand tightly, and their eyes began to moisten slowly.
