Chapter 1336: Pilots are more valuable than airplanes

"The landing gear is not fully released, stop landing, and immediately go back to flight!" The voices of the deck crew came from Ancruz's headphones.

In the old days, the operation of the aircraft was all steel cable. (Just like the brake line of the bicycle), this operation is more direct, but there are also big problems, because all are controlled by manpower, flying the plane is definitely physical work, if you do not practice a pair of unicorn arms, then after getting on the plane, a few arms will be sore.

In fact, even now, there are still such operations, such as the landing gear retraction of the I-16, which is towed by a steel cable, and the pilot is realized by stroking the turntable in the wheelhouse.

This way is very labor-intensive, therefore, the new aircraft, have begun to use the hydraulic system, the use of the engine to drive the hydraulic pump, can provide additional assistance, so that the pilot operation of the effortless, with the increase of the speed of the aircraft, the rudder feedback back to the strength is also increasing, and then rely on the steel cable is impossible.

At the same time, in addition to operation, such as retracting the landing gear, it is also carried out using a hydraulic system.

Hearing that his landing gear was not fully deployed, Ancruzon was stunned, he knew that he was in big trouble.

Landing?

If it was on a land airfield, he could rely on the belly of the plane to land on the ground and force a forced landing to protect the plane, but now it is on an aircraft carrier, and if he fails to make a forced landing, once he rushes into the parking area on one side, it may cause even more terrible chain consequences, which will be catastrophic for the aircraft carrier.

By now, he could no longer hide it.

"The 076 hydraulic system failed and could not lower the landing gear." Ancruz shouted.

Hearing his words, in an instant, there was silence in the noisy radio.

If the hydraulic system fails, it means that the aircraft loses its control.

"076, keep the plane flying level, parachute." Captain Tiller's voice came from inside the headphones: "For us, pilots are more valuable than airplanes. ”

This sentence was said by the Führer Ciric, for the Empire, new planes will be constantly produced on the production line, and they will be continuously exported to the troops, and the planes can be rebuilt if they are gone, but if the pilots are gone, they will not survive.

An experienced and mature pilot is a wealth that will not be renewed, and at a critical time, it is necessary to decisively abandon the aircraft to protect life.

The rest of the plane is intact, as long as it maintains level flight, it can fly over its own fleet, run out of fuel and crash in a no-man's land, and the pilot parachutes in the waters of his own fleet, and can send a small boat to pick him up at any time.

"Understood." At this moment, Ancruz knew that he had no choice but to abandon the plane that had accompanied him for more than a year.

Just when he wanted to pull up the nose, his heart sank, not good!

The pressure on the hydraulic system was already zero, and he couldn't make any moves at all, and now, the plane's glide line was higher than the landing line, and he couldn't land on the aircraft carrier at all, but he couldn't pull the plane into the air to keep it in level flight.

What to do?

Ancruz pushed the throttle stick, the engine accelerated sharply, giving the wing more lift, and the plane swayed and flew over the deck.

Due to the wrong posture, it was still sliding downward, the rudder surface was completely locked, and it was impossible to move again, so, in the spotlight, I saw this F190 fighter, constantly descending in altitude, and finally the belly of the aircraft rubbed the sea, surging countless splashes.

It was really thrilling, a destroyer in front of it urgently avoided it, otherwise it would be hit by it, and now this fighter, like a seaplane, actually descended on the sea, and then continued to glide forward.

Ancruz put away the throttle, turned off the engine, and now he could only wait for the plane to stop on its own by the resistance of the sea.

I hope the plane doesn't sink, otherwise he can only jump into the sea and wait for someone to come to his rescue.

Just as he turned his head boredly to look at the battleship that was speeding away to the back, his eyes swept sharply at something, and he immediately shouted on the radio: "Attention, Soviet bombers!" ”

No one knew how the Soviet bomber came over, and when Ancruz's plane landed, his thrilling scene attracted many people, and even the lookout post in charge of the lookout gave him a few glances, and as a result, neglected to observe the surrounding airspace.

German warships were equipped with anti-aircraft radars, but the radar could not detect planes flying close to the sea, and in this way, without anyone detecting it, a Soviet bomber actually flew in front of them!

Germans, accept the punishment!

Alexander felt much more sober, and he looked at the fleets of the Soviets at hand, while secretly rejoicing in how good his luck was.

It just so happened that one of the opposing planes had an accident and attracted their attention, allowing Alexander to slip in so easily! And now, all Alexander needs to do is choose a target!

For him, the 70,000-ton battleship was the most attractive, however, his current flight angle was not suitable, if he wanted to attack the other party, he would have to go around in a big circle, and he didn't think that he would fly so far and still be alive.

He had to find someone close, like an aircraft carrier over here!

Yes, that's it!

The Il-4 bomber rumbled, Alexander pulled the plane up slightly, and in the climb, nimbly made a bend, avoiding an escort cruiser, and then, he pushed the lever, and the aircraft carrier was already on his dive attack line.

At this point, it's time for Ancruz to sound the alarm.

The personnel on this aircraft carrier were also negligent, when this plane flew over, it happened to be on the tail deck, and when I looked at it from the direction of the nose, I thought it was a double-engine HS129!

Now it was also recovering the status of the plane, and it wasn't until the alarm sounded that they realized something was wrong.

The Soviets' bombers are diving towards their own side!

On the stern side, twin 40-mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns were already firing fiercely.

"Tom, tom!" After eliminating the hand-pulled machine with a low rate of fire, this 40-mm anti-aircraft gun with a high rate of fire became the main force of their air defense.

Under heavy anti-aircraft artillery fire, the Il-4 swooped down fearlessly, and Alexander, with bloodshot drunken eyes, stared at the aircraft carrier while shouting: "Long live the Soviets!" ”
