Chapter 30: The Eagle Flaps Its Wings 3

Lin Jun, who gathered his troops, counted the number of planes, and lost 7 fighters on his side in the fierce air battle, and it is estimated that more than 25 Henschel were shot down, and all the fighters on his side were basically wounded. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lin Jun has already determined that the opponent just now should be "Condor", because this is a real dialogue between strong men, and the strength of the Luftwaffe is indeed worthy of its reputation!

At this time, I saw 4 I-16s leaning towards my formation from a distance, and Yakov's voice came from the earphones: "Comrade Captain, the support detachment is coming to report, just now we intercepted the rebel bombers, and all 13 Junkers were shot down!" One of our planes was damaged, the pilot had parachuted safely, and the report was complete. ”

"I'm an eagle, it's good, comrades have worked hard." Lin Jun was about to say something more, when a call from the airport tower came from the earphones: "Madrid calls the eagle, Madrid calls the eagle!" The tone was very nervous.

"The eagle receives, the eagle receives. What's the situation? Lin Jun knew something was wrong.

"Eagle, there are about 30 enemy planes attacking southeast of the airport, basically all of them are bombers, and the "Wolf Warrior" has gone to intercept and ask for support! The enemy group is at most less than 20 kilometers from the airfield!"

"Eagle received!"

"All note, all planes that are not very badly damaged, with ammunition and fuel, come with me, 20 kilometers southeast of the target airfield! Other planes headed to the airport to land, all the highest speed of the I-16! ”

Lin Jun turned the joystick, adjusted the course to due east, and pushed the throttle to the end. There is still half of the fuel, but there is not much ammunition. The fierce battle just now consumed most of the ammunition of all the fighters, the shells had already run out, and Lin Jun estimated that his plane had up to 300 rounds of machine gun bullets, and the situation of other planes was similar.

Seeing that all the planes were following their own planes, "Good brothers! Lin Jun thought to himself. You must know that the consistent style of the Soviet Air Force is that the ammunition is gone, and I will knock you down if I hit it!

Crazy Ivan! Also brave Ivan!

Kobets has already shot down 4 enemy aircraft, three of which are SM-81s. This kind of three-engine cantilever low-wing, fixed-landing gear aircraft developed from passenger aircraft is useless except for being larger. The fighting will of the Italian Foreign Aviation Regiment was not even comparable to that of Franco's air force pilots, and when they saw more than a dozen fighters of the Soviet army rushing towards them, the formation of the bombers was already in disarray. Four of the eight I-16s were shot down at the first impact, and the Italian pilots, who had escaped, saw that half of the eight CR32s escorted were shot down in the blink of an eye, and the other four left them and ran away!

The SM-81 without fighter escort was simply a meal for fighters, and at the same time as the CR32 was discovered, there were already SM-81s who chose to drop the bomb and turn and escape.

The will of a warrior can largely determine the outcome of a battle. The SM-81's self-defense firepower is already weak, but the group of more than 20 planes gathered together still looks like a porcupine with long thorns, and it is difficult for fighters to attack. But the Italian Air Force's inferior will to fight gave this only advantage to the Soviet Air Force, and if one bomber dropped its bomb and fled, there would be a second. In an instant, all the SM-81s threw away their "baggage" and began to turn and escape, and more than 20 tons of bombs just turned the Spanish countryside over again.

The formation of the bomber group was completely disorganized, and the porcupines covered in thorns turned into pieces of fat on the chopping board.

To be honest, the "wolf warriors" did not expect these bombers to choose to flee so quickly, because the airfield was less than 20 kilometers ahead. But since they chose to become meat on the chopping board, the wolf warriors were not polite, and they were frantically harvesting their lives and results with the twin planes as a formation.

Kobets had already let his wingman attack alone, and with his excellent technique, he fired machine gun bullets into the front half of the SM-81 again and again. Since the I-15 has only four 7.62mm machine guns, it is inferior to the I-16, but it has a reserve of up to 3,000 rounds, and attacking the clumsy bomber cockpit is the most effective means. This will not only eliminate the pilot and disrupt the operating system, but also easily destroy the central engine of such a three-engine aircraft.

When Kobets set his sights on today's fifth target, Lin Jun's Yi 16 arrived.

What followed was a "feast", in which more than 20 I-16s pursued the remaining 10 or so SM-81s, and after ten minutes, only single-seat Soviet fighters remained in the air. A full 24 SM-81s were destroyed within 20 to 50 kilometers of the Madrid airport!

The eight fighters of the "Wolf Warrior" squadron, which took off at the end, chose to patrol the vicinity of the airport for another hour, while the other planes were running out of fuel and landed at the airport in batches.

Everyone at the Madrid airport stared at the sky, silently counting the number of returning fighters. Including the 10 fighters that were still patrolling the air in the distance to protect the planes that had landed in advance, only 33 of the 41 planes that made the sortie today came back, and a few of them almost made a forced landing, and most of the planes were injured.

Ground staff and medics rushed to the landing plane as fast as they could, helping the exhausted and injured pilot climb out of the cabin.

Lin Jun was very lucky today, his plane was pierced by bullets in more than 30 places, but not a single bullet hit the vital point of the plane, and he did not leave any memorial to his body. But some comrades were not so lucky, and three pilots were seriously wounded, one of them was Andlupf, whose right calf was pierced by a machine-gun bullet, and the blood stained his pants and the cabin floor, but fortunately the bullet did not hit the arteries and bones. He was shot by the SM-81's back turret shooter while attacking the last SM-81.

Medical personnel rushed to the airport hospital on stretchers to transport the three wounded. Madrid Airport originally had complete medical facilities, and there was also a surgeon and two nurses, and the surgeon and another nurse with rich experience brought by Lin Jun also served in the airport hospital, and they also brought a large number of medicines, so they were able to deal with the three wounded, and it can even be said that the medical conditions and doctors' skills were no worse than the best army general hospital in Madrid.

Handing over command to Yakov, Lin Jun accompanied the three pilots to the airport hospital. He is really very concerned about the situation of these three comrades, especially Andlupf, if something happens, Lin Jun may go directly to bomb Franco's headquarters!

The two surgeons examined the three wounded and decided to operate on Andlupuf and another pilot who had been shot through the shoulder, while the third wounded had been grazed by a rolling bullet in the thigh.

Seeing his brother's nervous expression, Andlupf, who was lying on the stretcher, was not in a hurry at all, and he said to Lin Jun with a somewhat pale face: "It's okay Captain, Dr. Grigory's skills are not said, and it will be fine with a few stitches." ”

At this time, the doctor Gregory, who was in his 40s, also said to Lin Jun: "Don't worry, Comrade Andrei, the injuries of the three pilot comrades and Dr. Carlos and I can handle it, and there will be no problem." ”

The doctor is very confident in his medical skills. Dr. Carlos is a surgeon who used to work at the airport, a Spaniard, thirty-six or seventeen years old, who has more than 10 years of surgical experience, although not as skilled as Dr. Gregory, but he is also an expert in dealing with trauma.

Hearing what the doctor said, Lin Jun was also relieved. Watching as Andlupf was wheeled into the operating room, the small airport hospital had already gathered some other airport staff who were not on duty, all of whom had volunteered to donate blood for the wounded.

Lin Jun thanked these people, and then quickly left the airport hospital and rushed to the airport command room, where he wanted to know about the comrades who had made a forced landing and parachuted. (Pilots are absolutely not allowed to donate blood, this is the practice of the air force of each country)

The position of the air battle is still under the control of the Republic forces, so Lin Jun doesn't have to worry about his pilots being captured, but he is still anxious to find out where they are going, whether they are dead or alive!

Comrade Grandqi, the commander-in-chief of the airport, was very busy at the moment, and he was not listening to the phone calls to inquire about the whereabouts of the parachuted pilots, and several other telephones in the command room were also thinking about it, and several airport staff were answering and taking notes seriously.

Seeing Lin Jun walking quickly into the command room, Grandqi opened his mouth and said: "All our planes have been found, a total of four of our pilots are still alive, one of them is not injured, and he is already on his way back to the airport." The other three injured pilots are being taken to the Army General Hospital in Madrid by rescuers, who have already given them emergency treatment, and all three wounded are seriously injured! ”

Lin Jun knew that the other four young men had already been sacrificed.

"Comrade Grande, send me a car to the army hospital, I want to go and see."

、、、、、、

Today's driver is still Juan who sent Lin Jun to Madrid that day, he also understands Comrade Andrei's current mood, and drives the car fast, and there is also the translator Glickie who went to the hospital together, and although Grunqi also wants to go together, he needs a lot of follow-up work, so he can only give up.

As soon as they arrived at the Army General Hospital on Castile Street, the staff inside took them to the place where they should go without Lin Jun asking a few questions, and Lin Jun's appearance and anxious expression let them know that they had come to visit the injured pilot.

When I came to the rescue area, I saw that the surgical indicators of the three operating rooms were on, and the doors of the operating rooms were closed. Lin Jun was a little restless and walked around in front of several operating rooms.

From time to time, nurses came in and out of the operating room, but Lin Jun didn't ask, he knew that the best thing he could do was not to do anything and not to disturb the medical staff, which he still knew.

The wait was so long, and a large number of Madrid citizens had gathered at the entrance of the Madrid Army General Hospital, all of whom had rushed to the hospital after learning the news that an injured pilot had been rescued in the hospital, and a large part of them also wanted to donate blood for the heroes in their hearts.

There were so many people who came that the hospital had to set up a barricade at the gate, because the hospital's plasma reserves were still sufficient, and the medical technology conditions at that time could not keep the plasma fresh for a long time, so there was no need to donate a lot of blood.

Finally, after the leaders of the hospital repeatedly explained the situation to the citizens and promised to do their best to save the lives of the pilots, the citizens of Madrid no longer had to enter the hospital to donate blood, but lined up on both sides of the hospital gate in an orderly manner, unwilling to leave for a long time.
