Chapter 1331: Alcoholic as Death
Today, Kozlov knew how dangerous his attack was, so he was even more unceremonious, and drank the vodka that he usually kept privately.
After drinking, it was a long wait, waiting for a long time, and there was no order to attack, so Kozlov felt that it was not enjoyable again, and now at this time, he definitely couldn't run out to buy alcohol, so he secretly entered the health team in the base, stole two bottles of medical alcohol, and drank half a bottle without mixing it with water.
At this time, the order came, a sharp air raid siren sounded in the base, Kozlov had some alcohol, and it took him some time to find his flight cap, and then he came.
Now the ground crew actually asked him if he could fly, does this need to be said?
There was a rumbling sound, and the M-88B piston engine on one side started smoothly, and then on the other side, his vision was a little blurry, and he shook his head vigorously, finally seeing the runway clearly.
"It's time for us to fly." Kozlov let go of the brakes.
The ground crew on the side was shocked into a cold sweat, only to see an Il-4 on the other side quickly braked, and almost collided with Kozlov, if it collided, the plane full of fuel and bombs would fly on fire and explode, the base would also be damaged, and the bombers behind would not be able to take off.
Kozlov didn't see the plane that was almost blocked by his movements, he just heard the curses on the radio, but he didn't reply, he knew that he couldn't speak clearly, if he yelled on the radio, he would be found drinking, and when the time came, he would definitely not be able to fly.
In this battle, you can't afford to lose yourself, you have to throw bombs on the German battleships!
Kozlov just pushed the throttle all the way, and the engines on both sides burst out with a huge thrust of 1100 horsepower, and the 11.5-ton bomber slid and ran on the runway, and finally, at the end of the runway, Kozlov pulled the operating stick into his arms with all his might.
Seeing that the bomber was at a considerable angle of attack, it pulled up, startling the people in the tent tower for a while.
A bomber is not a fighter, what is Kozlov doing?
Sure enough, before it could be pulled up to a height, the bomber couldn't fly, not even level, and actually began to dive downward, dropping thirty meters to a height, and then pulling up again.
In this way, it took several times to pounce before it could be regarded as a normal climb.
Kozlov opened the window to let in the cool breeze outside, which kept him awake, but after a toss just now, he had distanced himself from his own group.
So, he could only fall behind the group and follow slowly.
The blue sky, the endless sea, soon, his bomber flew to the sea, this scene, made his heart surge, as a pilot who attacked, how could he not have a drink to cheer up? So he couldn't help it, he took out a bottle of wine from his breast pocket, which was filled with the alcohol he had stolen, and took a sip.
……
"Attention, the fleet turned to the headwind, preparing to recover carrier-based aircraft." At this time, on the sea, the German fleet was making a turn in unison.
The attacking naval aviation had already flown around their aircraft carriers, and at this time, they were all nervously and orderly preparing to land.
Lieutenant Steinkamp, piloting his H129, gradually approached the aircraft carrier Hitler cautiously, and the voice of the deck guide was heard in his headphones.
"The glide line is normal, and it continues to decline."
"Retract the throttle and reduce the speed to 100 knots."
"Attention, it's about to touch the ship."
Although the displacement of the aircraft carrier Hitler was large enough, and the deck looked like a floating basketball court on the sea, it was too small in the sky.
Every landing is an experience of a lifetime.
When he heard the sound of touching the ship, Lieutenant Steinkamp felt that the whole body was trembling, shaking up and down, and his sturdy landing gear was bearing the huge impact of the ship, and the two main landing gears had successfully touched the ship.
The plane continued to slide forward for several tens of meters, and the small landing gear behind it also touched the deck, and Lieutenant Steinkamp slowly applied the brakes, and the plane stopped.
His landing was perfect.
The deck operator gave him a thumbs up and praised him, and then the tow bar on the deck car hung on his tow hook, dragged his plane, and quickly came to the parking area on one side, giving way to the take-off and landing area on the beveled deck, so that the follow-up fighters could continue to land.
After several years of training, the efficiency of the German Navy's aircraft carrier operations has been brought into full play.
Lieutenant Steinkamp was still sitting in his engine room, looking at the bow deck not far away, where two F190 carrier-based aircraft were on standby.
Most of the decks in this era were rectangular through decks, so that when the plane landed, the front take-off area must also be vacated, otherwise it would collide with the front if it failed to land and go back to flight.
The beveled deck perfectly avoids this problem, allowing the aircraft carrier to have the ability to dispatch at any time while recovering carrier-based aircraft, which greatly improves their efficiency.
At the same time as the second HS129 attack aircraft landed, Lieutenant Steinkamp's plane, which had been towed to the side side lift, was slowly descending, preparing to enter the hangar.
The space on the deck is limited, and this time it was almost a full sortie, so the hangar below was empty, and now some of the attack planes had to be moved to the hangar to make enough space on the deck.
If this scene is seen by the U.S. Navy, which is the most proficient in operating aircraft carriers, I am afraid it will also be amazed, this efficiency is really quite high!
Captain Tiller stood on the bridge and watched his own aircraft recover, and at this time, on his left and right sides, the escort aircraft carrier was also retrieving the carrier-based aircraft.
For some reason, Thiele had some faint worry in his heart at this time.
For aircraft carriers, it can deliver carrier-based aircraft from a long distance to attack the enemy, which is a huge weapon, but it is also flawed, and when it comes to recovering carrier-based aircraft, it should be the weakest time for one's own side.
I hope that the carrier-based aircraft will be recovered soon, so that I can rest assured.
However, as if they were afraid of something, they came to the radio with a report from the fighters patrolling the outer defense circle.
"076 reported that the enemy group, about twenty bombers, five fighters, was coming towards us, and in the northwest direction of our fleet, a distance of one hundred and fifty nautical miles, 076 immediately entered the attack and asked for support."
