"Turn off the engine. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Inside the Junkers-88 bomber, the atmosphere was a little tense.

Just now, in order to drop bombs, they had to brave the fire of British warships to move on, and as a result, a 40-mm shell hit the engine on the right side!

If it is a 40-mm shell from the Bofors anti-aircraft gun, this cannon may be able to blow the engine directly, and even tear half of the wing, in that case, your own bomber, don't expect to fly back.

But now, the power of the British bangbang cannon is quite limited.

Just by comparing the shells, we can see that this shell is much smaller than the Bofors shell, and the propellant is less, so the power is correspondingly small.

This cannon only broke the engine, but the wing was still intact.

First of all, turn off the engine, you can't let the fuel continue to leak out, ignite the fire, burn off half of the wing, and then you can't fly back.

The engine was successfully turned off, and at the same time, the fire extinguishing device was automatically activated, and soon, the small flames inside were gone, and a faint green smoke continued to emerge from it.

Looking out of his cabin, you can see the three-bladed propeller, one blade is bent, and the whole propeller is in a fixed state.

Bosser pushed his lever hard, and because one of the engines had stalled, the plane had a severe yaw, and he had to use the torque of the tail rudder to keep the plane in balance.

"Let's go home now." Bescher's composure infects those around him.

One Junkers-88 with four crew members, they are now part of a single unit.

One engine is destroyed, will they be able to fly back? From here to the base, there is a long sea flight of thousands of kilometers, and if something goes wrong along the way, then they will definitely die.

But jump in and escape now? Of course not, this is still the territory of the British, and if they go down, they will be prisoners!

Beschel was quite calm at this point, the bomb had been dropped, his mission was over, and now, all he had left to do was to return home with his crew.

If he was given a chance to choose again, he would still continue to attack, that was his mission, even if this bomber was hit and exploded in the air on the spot, it would be worth it, the warship below was much more valuable than his bomber.

As a bomber pilot, this is what he has to do.

And now, the bombing mission is complete, and his new task is to fly the plane back.

Can you? He's not 100% sure, but he has to behave, he has to give his peers confidence!

There was only one engine left, and his flight speed suddenly slowed down, and now, he carefully pulled the operating lever to let the plane climb up at a small angle.

The higher the altitude, the thinner the air, the less resistance, and he would have to rise to an altitude of at least two thousand meters before he could return to base with the available fuel.

The Junkers-88 bomber, whose movements became sluggish, seemed to be an old man.

The Jumo 211 engine is running at full speed, and the advantages of the liquid-cooled engine are on full display.

This engine was a 12-cylinder, V-shaped engine designed by the Junkers Engine Company, which was established separately from the Junkers Aircraft Company in 1923. Compared with Mercedes-Benz's DB601 series, it is slightly larger in size, but it has low fuel consumption and reliable performance, which is very suitable for medium-sized aircraft such as tactical bombers.

If it is an air-cooled engine, it is easy to overheat when it is running at full power at low altitude, especially when the flight speed is relatively low, even if it is a B-29, it was a headache when the engine overheated.

But now, the liquid-cooled engine doesn't matter, the cooler is constantly dissipating heat, and the cooler is right behind the propeller, which works very well.

There is no problem with the engine running at full power for a long time.

In the back seat, the machine gunner Muller, warily looked at the rear hemisphere of his own bomber.

This medium bomber cannot have multiple gun emplacements like a large bomber, and like a light bomber, it can only provide simple protection, for example, a general bomber is set up in the back with a machine gunner.

However, this is a medium bomber after all, and it is very large, so it is possible to set up more machine guns.

If you look from the outside, you can see the front and rear of the cockpit, both machine guns.

On the front windshield A was an MG 81J single-barreled swivel 7.92mm machine gun, firing forward from the windshield of the main cockpit.

Behind the main cockpit there are two MG 81J single-barreled swivel 7.92mm machine guns, mounted in two different positions to cover the rear upper hemisphere area.

At the same time, there is an MG 81Z double-barreled swivel 7.92mm machine gun on the armored Bola pod below the cockpit, which covers the aft hemisphere area below.

In addition to these, there can also be an external machine gun to replace it when performing other tasks.

Mueller was a rookie, having only joined the Air Force for half a year, and became a machine gunner when he passed complex tests and swung many turns on various rollers to still aim at the target.

It was his first time on the battlefield.

He was just a spectator during the bombing just now, there was not a single enemy plane here, and now that he had begun to return home, he should have relaxed, but for some reason, he always had a sense of foreboding.

This premonition, in the next moment, became a reality, and from the billowing smoke, a two-winged plane jumped out, from the rear, and pounced on its own plane!

"There is a target in the rear!" Mueller shouted, and then, with his eyes firmly fixed on the sight, opened fire as soon as the other party approached!

At this moment, he held his breath.

In the distance, the target is getting closer and closer, it is a two-winged Swordfish attack plane, at this time, in the open cockpit, a pilot is flying over with anger.

Yes, here comes Jack.

The entire base was being bombed by Germany, and in this case, Jack, as a naval aviation, had a deep sense of powerlessness, his planes were too backward to catch up with any German bombers and attack!

The German bombers almost all flew at a speed of 3,400 kilometers per hour, and the Swordfish attack aircraft flew at full speed to 225 kilometers per hour, and the difference in speed allowed Jack to hover on the battlefield, waiting for an opportunity.

No one noticed him, the bomber group, all focused on their own target, this small plane, they simply did not pay attention.

Jack's heart was tormented, and after a few minutes of continued flight, he finally found his target, the damaged bomber, which was already slow!

Catch up, attack!
