Chapter 37: Let Go 2
Lin Jun jumped off the plane and shouted loudly to Vasily and Kobets on the side: "I want all the Yi 16 to be ready to take off within an hour!" ”
"Captain, there's a big guy?" As soon as Kobets heard Lin Jun's words, he became energetic. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Grandma, there is a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun in that material distribution yard, and I almost can't come back! This time we're going to wipe it out completely! Lin Jun's hair stood on end when he recalled the black smoke that exploded around him, "Vasily, load all the incendiary bombs we left behind." ”
"Yes, Comrade Captain." Vasily immediately ran to prepare.
"Captain, let me go with me this time."
"No, you still have to look after the house. More than half of the troops at the airport are out, and I can rest assured that you are at the airport. Looking at Kobets's depressed face, "Don't worry, there is a time for you to make meritorious contributions." ”
I didn't have time to grind with Kobets, "let the pilots who were ready to attack come to the dining room for a meeting." After saying that, he walked quickly to the cafeteria, and Kobets could only carry out the order and arrange a meeting.
Seeing that all the pilots except for those on duty had arrived at the cafeteria, Lin Jun pointed to the large map hanging on the wall, on which the location of the target had been marked, and there was a temporary target plan on the blackboard on the side, "Comrades, the target of this attack is a material distribution field, and it is estimated that there are about 10 large-caliber anti-aircraft guns to defend it, but their low-altitude anti-aircraft fire is not very strong, only a small number of anti-aircraft machine guns. Therefore, we descend at an altitude of 15 kilometers from the target, penetrate the defense at a low altitude, maintain an altitude of 100 meters for all aircraft, attack freely after reaching the target, leave after the bombing, or return home at a low altitude, and return to a cruising altitude of 3,500 meters after 15 kilometers away from the target. This time we didn't have escort planes, so in the event of an interception by the enemy's air force during the sortie, all the planes dropped their bombs and fought, of course, not to drop bombs on their own heads. That's the task, is there a problem? ”
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, "Okay, that's it, let's leave in 30 minutes." ”
On the tarmac, Vasily was directing his ground crew to load the planes, and this time he had brought out all the 17 200-kilogram incendiary bombs in the warehouse, and the other seven planes were loaded with high-explosive bombs.
The commander of the Wehrmacht's anti-aircraft artillery company, Gustav, was a nobleman with the title of viscount, but he was now losing his temper with his ungraceful subordinates. His troops, who arrived in Spain only the day before yesterday, were assigned to this material distribution yard yesterday and deployed overnight. Unexpectedly, early in the morning, the opportunity to make meritorious service came, and the 8 planes of the republican **** were attacked. Gustav originally thought that the opportunity to win the medal had come, the German anti-aircraft artillery unit had not yet opened in Spain, and if a few were killed, the award would definitely be indispensable. He was very confident in his hands in the new Type 18 88-mm anti-aircraft gun, which was definitely the best anti-aircraft gun in the world, and today the opportunity is so good, 8 enemy aircraft are at an altitude of 3500 meters, which is within the optimal attack height of the 88-mm anti-aircraft gun.
I didn't expect this group of people under my command to be so uncompetitive, it turned out that when they were training in China, all the artillery crews were "sharpshooters", but today these guys didn't shoot down a single plane, and they successfully bombed the material distribution yard and suffered heavy losses! This made the German captain lose face in front of the Spaniards, and just now he received a call from his boss, and he scolded himself: Gustav, you have lost the face of our Wehrmacht!
The Spaniard's cold eyes and the scolding of his boss made him temporarily put his "Junker" demeanor aside, "You rice buckets!" What's going on today, are you blind?! 、、、、、、”
Just when Gustav was thundering at his men and hating iron but not steel, the northeast remembered the sound of anti-aircraft machine guns.
"Get back to work!" He yelled at the class leaders. Gustav did not expect that the enemy plane would come again so soon, "This commander must be a madman!" He saw more than 20 Yi-16s enter the material distribution yard from an ultra-low altitude of 100 meters, and his anti-aircraft guns are like a bunch of ornaments to the aircraft at this altitude.
Gustav was unlucky today, he was now standing next to a large number of trucks, and there were already people who "took a fancy to" these brand-new Henschel 33 3-ton trucks. Before he could hide, he saw a black bomb falling on him, "It's over!" This was the last thought of the company commander.
When Lin Jun's plane saw the target from a distance, it was still smoking in several places, and it seemed that the "sequelae" of the last attack was still there. At this time, anti-aircraft machine guns rang out on the ground. The firepower of the machine guns was not intensive, and there was not much threat to the formation, Lin Jun didn't pay attention to it, and the shooting skills of the shooters who operated these machine guns were really not very good, and the tracer bullets flying around were still far away from him.
As soon as they reached the edge of the target, all the planes scattered in all directions, each looking for the most valuable target.
The last time Lin Jun attacked, he already knew that there was a large pile of oil drums on the other side of it, estimated to be one or two hundred tons. The plane flew straight there, the objects below flashed quickly, and some people were scattering and fleeing.
The machine gun firing button was pressed, and two 7.62 mm ПВ-1 machine guns spit out a call to death. "If you don't shoot at this time, you're sorry for the people and sorry for the party!"
The oil pile was a few hundred meters ahead, Lin Jun aimed the aura of the sight at the target, pressed the cannon launch button fiercely, and saw the oil drum hit by the 20mm armor-piercing incendiary bomb explode violently, and turned away with a swing of the lever. There is no need to drop bombs, the cannon is enough, and this pile of fuel is considered reimbursement.
After turning the corner, Lin Jun found that other planes were strafing their targets, and the material distribution yard was bursting and burning everywhere, "It's fast enough!" Facing a pile of materials covered with tarpaulins, Lin Jun pressed the bomb drop button.
"All planes, return as planned! All planes are back! "It's not worth it if you capsize in the gutter here.
After flying over the "danger zone" at an ultra-low altitude, Lin Jun led the formation to begin to climb.
"I'm Captain Andrey, and the planes report the damage."
The pilots' answers came from the headphones, and they were basically unharmed, except for a few planes that were drilled a few holes by machine gun bullets from the ground, which was not a big problem.
When there were still about 100 kilometers from the airfield, Lin Jun heard a report from Zaitsev on the right side of the formation: "There are enemy planes in the direction of 2 o'clock, the distance is about 15 kilometers, and the altitude is 3000!" ”
Lin Jun looked over there, these planes should be bombing the positions of the republican ****.
"Do you still have ammunition for all the planes?"
The answer was yes "yes", and I just strafed for a while, and at most half of it was consumed.
"Attention, destroy these enemy planes! Follow me! "Lin Jun will never let go of the opportunity.
24 Il-16s made a collective turn and flew in the direction of the target.
At this time, the rebel bombers were finishing dropping bombs and were also turning, preparing to return. Clouds of black smoke rose from the positions, but unfortunately the republican troops below did not have anti-aircraft guns, and there was nothing they could do about these slow and stupid bombers.
They were bombers based in Seville, and they took off urgently after hearing that Madrid planes had attacked the supply yard in the morning, and they did not dare to bomb at this position in normal times, because the threat from the Madrid airport was too great. But this time, the plane from Madrid has made a sortie, and it should not be patrolling this position again, even if it comes, it will not be at this time. This is what the commander had in mind.
It's a pity that Lin Jun is a person who doesn't play cards according to common sense. The commander of the Seville Air Force miscalculated.
The bomber formation only discovered the danger when Lin Jun's plane was less than 10 kilometers away from them, and it was too late to escape, and Yi 16 was approaching them at an extremely high speed.
When he saw that the 10 bombers were already clear, Lin Jun felt strange, "What kind of plane is this?" Why do you fly so slowly? "But it doesn't matter if you're slow or fast, as long as it's the enemy's, you'll be able to do it!
"Attention everyone, attack in two units and solve it quickly!"
In fact, except for Lin Jun, the other pilots have already recognized the bomber model in front of them, which is the only 11 'Breguet-19' biplane reconnaissance bombers under the control of the rebels, which can be traced back to the old antiques of World War I, with a speed of only 120 kilometers per hour, a bomb load of 80 kilograms, and only one machine gun on board. Usually, they would never dare to go to this position to bomb, but they want to "pick up cheap" and get lucky to put them on the "road of no return".
It's no wonder that Lin Jun doesn't know these "old antiques", his understanding of old-fashioned aircraft in his previous life was at the level of World War II models, and later in Zhukov, he studied some military aircraft of various countries in the 30s, and the goods of World War I were directly ignored.
The process of air combat can basically be omitted, and it is the slaughter of more than 20 wolves against 11 weak sheep. Lin Jun did not participate in the attack, and gave these "prey" that were not escorted by enemy fighters and were at their fingertips to his teammates.
The troops on the ground on the republic's side saw that the fighters in the air easily dealt with the rebel planes, and greatly relieved the anger in their hearts. These two-winged guys had been showing off their might on their heads just now, but they just didn't come down, which made the Republic troops who didn't have anti-aircraft guns in their hands can only look up to the sky and sigh. Although these bombers did not inflict substantial losses on the troops on the ground, they still set the people on the ground on fire.
Throwing small bombs from a height of more than 3,000 meters can pose a threat to the soldiers in the trenches below.
Now these two-winged guys are finished, and there are still a few white umbrella flowers in the air, looking at these slowly falling parachutes, the commanders on the ground are busy, and they are yelling at the command to go down and capture the prisoners, "Be sure to catch a few alive!" "Everyone was gnashing their teeth there.
Lin Jun and the team members in the sky didn't care about how many they could catch, and they returned immediately after solving all the opponents.
Lin Jun, who got off the plane, didn't hear the team members talking about the air battle just now, but someone was exchanging experiences with each other in the process of ground attack.
"Yes, they're all full-fledged pilots." Lin Jun admired these young men very much, and knew that the victory just now was only "picked", and there was nothing to boast about.
"Zaitsev, you are responsible for counting the results of your personal battles."
"Yes, Captain."
Although the opponent is very weak, the record still needs to be counted.
