It's the second time they've taken off, and after the last landing, they've refueled and they've been waiting, and now, even the bomb bay is still carrying bombs.

Although it has been turned into a reconnaissance mission, the bombs do not need to be unloaded, and if the German Navy is found, they will be the first to drop the bomb on the opposing warship.

Start the engine!

Alexander skillfully turned on various switches, and the engine on the left, in a puff of black smoke, managed to roar and start.

Then, there's the engine on the right.

Just when he was about to flip the switch, he saw that there was chaos outside, and all crew members were running towards their planes.

What's going on?

"Airplanes, attack aircraft of the Germans!" Schrodevich, the machine gunner in the back seat, shouted loudly: "Damn, they actually came from the southeast!" ”

Two anti-aircraft artillery platoons were deployed in this base of our side, but they were both deployed in the southwest and south of the position, and they were blank in the southeast direction of our side.

At this time, those anti-aircraft guns were turning anxiously, but the German attack planes had already pounced at an ultra-low altitude!

Alexander turned his head and saw the plane painted with a black cross, the German HS129 attack plane, this kind of aircraft had terrible armor protection, almost as strong as his own Il-2 attack plane.

Moreover, the most powerful thing on the other side is the 40mm cannon, and everywhere you go, you can kill your soul with one shot!

"Buzz, buzz!" He quickly started the engine on the other side.

Two puffs of black smoke came out of the exhaust pipe, but then there was no movement.

"Buzz, buzz!" With the help of the ground power supply car, the engine on the other side still did not start successfully, and at this critical time, the engine actually failed.

Can't wait, take off!

Alexander released the brakes, the engine throttle lever on one side was pushed to the maximum, and under the thrust of a single engine, the plane was somewhat deflected to one side, so he had to press the rudder tightly and let the Sb-2 bomber slide on the runway.

Hurry, hurry!

Airplanes are only valuable in the sky, and when they are on the ground, they are absolute live targets, and Alexander definitely does not want to be destroyed on the ground like this, he wants to take off!

It's a pity that the single engine makes the take-off of his fully loaded bomber extremely slow.

Lieutenant Steinkamp had already flown to the base here, he had found the target with considerable precision, and, when he came, there was a silver fighter plane taking off in the endless green field, which made it easy for him to determine the target.

Then all that's left is to attack!

Although he is not afraid of anti-aircraft artillery, he must first destroy the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery position! So, he pushed the lever, and the HS129 attack plane, almost over the heads of the Soviets, flew over the plane that was taxiing, and then, his attack plane began to dive.

At this time, on the anti-aircraft artillery position, the anti-aircraft artillery was vigorously turning the direction machine to adjust the angle of their anti-aircraft guns, and at the same time as the anti-aircraft guns were rapidly turning, the attack aircraft had already appeared in the gunner's retina!

"Tom, tom!" The gunner stepped on the firing machine, and although he had not yet taken aim, he was already shooting, and the shells were flying in the sky, and there were still several tens of meters from the target!

Then, HS129 pulled up, and the two bombs mounted under the belly of the plane were already swaying down!

"Boom, boom!"

The ultra-low-altitude dive attack makes it throw with a fairly high accuracy, and the bomb hits the target accurately!

The anti-aircraft artillery was blown up to the ground, the flesh and blood of the gunners on it were blurred, and the anti-aircraft artillery positions were already abandoned!

In the airspace ahead, Lieutenant Steinkamp skillfully made a sharp turn and returned to the target again, and the first thing he locked on was the bomber that was about to take off!

"Quick, pull it up!" Alexander's hand took the lever into his arms, and the rudder surface of the tail was fully upward, pushing the airflow to pry the nose up.

But it didn't work.

If the plane wants to take off, it must be at a certain speed, and in the end, it is not the tail rudder that cocks the nose, but the lift is greater than the gravity.

The lift is related to the speed, the greater the speed, the greater the lift generated by the wing, and now the speed is not enough, the lift is not enough.

Alexander was still trying, and he knew that only when he flew would there be hope.

Schroderwich was even more anxious, pushing his twin 7.62mm machine gun to the side and take out the rapidly approaching German attack plane.

However, the angles of his machine gun were not enough!

As a result, he could only watch the terrible cannon under the nose of the opponent's fuselage burst into flames.

"Tom tom!"

Relying on the advantage of the load brought by the powerful power, the 40-mm Bofors machine gun has a reserve of 100 rounds, even so, the pilots still cherish it when they operate, almost all of them are three-point fire.

This cannon is mainly used to attack low-speed targets on the ground, if this SB-2 bomber flies now, it is really difficult to set too much advance, but now, it is still in the snail-like gliding stage, and Lieutenant Steinkamp pushes the operating stick when shooting, so that the shell is almost sideways.

"Boom!" The second shell hit the bomber on the runway accurately, and the 40-mm armor-piercing incendiary shell easily tore a large hole in the fuselage and shot into the position of the machine gunner in the rear.

Schrodevich's cockpit turned red in an instant, his upper body was still intact, but his legs had turned into minced meat, and he fell weakly on his machine gun.

"Boom!" The bomber burned, the armor-piercing incendiary bomb, hit its fuel tank, ignited the loaded ammunition, and soon, it turned into a huge fireball, which was still gliding forward, and Alexander struggled to control the plane, trying to create a chance for the navigator in front of him to escape.

The other bombers are facing a difficult end at this time.

They don't have a solid hangar, it's parked in the open, and now, the attack planes of the Germans will definitely attack them, and the only way for them is to fly the planes, but now, the end of Alexander is in sight, and the other pilots, there is no chance at all!

But even if they don't have the chance, they have to try!

One bomber after another, all preparing for takeoff, they quickly started their engines, and wanted to get out of here.

And at this time, in the southeast, more attack aircraft, have already flown in!
