Chapter 509: Hans Rudel is wounded
Bombers and fighters are different arms, and once they are mature, it is very difficult to change to fly again, and Hans never thought of flying the F190.
However, his Stuka has begun to fall behind, and the fixed landing gear brings greater air resistance, resulting in a limited flight speed, even if it is replaced with a more powerful engine.
So, his gaze looked away, and naturally he saw HS-129.
Although the cramped cabin makes every pilot unhappy, it is enough to think that you are sitting in a bathtub with all-round protection underneath.
When they dive, they often need to brave the ground fire, and they have a layer of armor protection, which can give them greater confidence.
"I heard that the plane is not maneuverable, and it is not as flexible as our Stuka." The machine gunner said that at this time, the machine gunner was still sitting behind with his back, but now in the sky, there were almost no French fighters, and he was also idle.
That kind of plane, although it has two engines, but the horsepower is too small, resulting in poor maneuverability, and it is said that it is not easy to fly if it flies.
"Actually, poor maneuverability is not a disadvantage." Hans said: "The Navy's HS-129 is not bad in maneuverability, and their engines are very luxurious. ”
"However, the advanced engines are equipped with the F190, where to get the HS-129."
"Wait, when we take down France, there will be an engine." Hans said.
He has already seen that the Air Force engine is indeed very valuable, but France still has an engine, and now, France's mature engine has the "land god" - Rhone 14N-21 engine, which can stably produce 1150 horsepower, if this kind of engine, installed on the HS-129, can immediately greatly improve performance.
Now, the war that took place on French territory was fought quickly, the German army was advancing rapidly, the French army was losing and retreating, many large cities were intact, and Germany did not bomb the industrial areas of France.
So, quite possibly, French industry can be preserved intact.
Moreover, he even has an idea, that is, when he changes to a new model, and his record is calculated from scratch, then he can fly back to the battlefield again! When the bomber swooped down and looked at the people below shivering, he had an indescribable pleasure.
Hans was very happy and fantasized about all this, he did not know, he was negligent.
"Look, what's that?" On the ground, in a village, a British soldier in charge of reconnaissance shouted loudly.
"Oh, that's a German bomber, quick, Chris, quick!"
Their village is now quite important, because this is where the division headquarters is located.
The Germans, did they come to bomb their divisional headquarters? Definitely, I really didn't expect the Germans to come so quickly!
"Quick, machine gun!" Chris also shouted loudly.
They are advancing fast, because they are armored units, however, the units of anti-aircraft guns in their armored units, are still behind! Those towed anti-aircraft guns simply did not run as fast as their tanks.
Now, to protect the safety of the division headquarters, only a few of their "Vickers" Mark 1 type 0.303inch machine guns remained.
This is definitely an old machine gun, with a water-cooled barrel, a canvas chain, and at 57 years old, it seems that this machine gun is completely outdated.
But in reality, it's still a pretty reliable weapon.
In World War II, in a single battle, 10 Vickers machine guns fired 1 million rounds in 12 hours, an average of 10,000 rounds per hour. Although 100 barrels were replaced and countless amounts of cooling water were used during this period, there was not a single jam. And the other machine guns are out of reach.
In addition to ground infantry use, it was widely used by vehicle-mounted, airborne, a fairly full-fledged weapon.
And now, after spotting a Stuka flying in, they quickly prepare, Chris asked his assistant to chain the machine gun, and he pushed the machine gun into place, and on the tripod, it was raised high, and it became the anti-aircraft machine gun.
Although there was no equipment for aiming at the air, he still aimed calmly according to his own experience, and he even held his breath.
The plane, getting closer, getting closer, the seagull wings, the fixed landing gear, looked so clear that Chris finally pulled the trigger.
"Da-da-da-da." 7.7mm machine gun bullets poured down quickly, and several other machine guns fired almost simultaneously!
On the wing, a violent vibration came, and Hanston was startled, not good, there was anti-aircraft fire on the ground!
This can't be blamed for his carelessness, he is still a few kilometers away from the target, he has already paid all his attention to the bridge, he simply did not notice that the ordinary-looking small village below actually has anti-aircraft fire.
In fact, looking at the ground in the sky, it is very small, and if it were not for the reconnaissance planes conducting reconnaissance in advance, the anti-aircraft fire on the ground would not have been discovered at all.
Fortunately, the anti-aircraft weapons below are just small-caliber machine guns, which are small holes in the wings, and if they are anti-aircraft guns of more than 20 mm, as long as one shot, it is a big hole.
Sensing that the wings were being attacked, Hansra operated the stick and kicked the rudder at the same time, trying to get out of the area quickly.
"Chirp", at this moment, a voice was clearly transmitted to the cockpit, and with it, Hans felt a blow to his right leg, followed by numbness.
Yes, the feeling of being hit by a bullet is, first of all, numbness, not pain.
Hans looked down and saw that his cockpit had been pierced from the bottom, also because the kinetic energy of the bullet had been lost in the process of penetration, so it did not pierce his legs.
However, when the tumbling bullet came, the power was even greater, and the tumbling bullet smashed into his thigh, beating the muscles above the thigh, and all the flowers rolled out.
When he saw the wound, he thought that it must be painful, this is a subconscious perception, and then, it is the real feeling of pain, which is transmitted to Hans's brain, and instantly makes him feel the urge to faint in pain.
No, at this time, you must not faint. He was going to save his own life and the life of the machine gunner.
The bullet had passed through the bone and pulled out the tendon, as long as it moved slightly, it was unbearable, and on his forehead, large beads of sweat fell, and Hans used all his strength, stepped on the rudder, pulled the operating lever, and returned!
