Chapter Ninety-Six: A Thrilling Journey
Xia Chao saw Miss Lina, who shouldn't have been seen here, and he asked curiously, "Miss Lina, didn't you follow General Wei Caier to Sichuan?" ”
Lina said: "Xia, I am no longer the secretary of General Weischel, I have been transferred to the embassy, and this time I will go back to Germany with you. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Summer looked at Hans, who spread out his hand and said he didn't know what was going on.
The trip to Germany was quickly decided. Hans, Wilhelm and Lina were in charge of accompanying Xia Chao to Germany.
In the afternoon, on the Chinese side, Lin Yulin, a colonel liaison officer sent by the Ministry of Military Industry, Lu Zhengxin, an engineer from the Jinling Arsenal, and Xia Chao formed a three-member delegation.
Lin Yulin, 32 years old, is a small man with white skin, big eyes, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He studied in Germany and graduated from the University of Munich with a master's degree in mechanical engineering.
Lu Zhengxin, 34 years old, tall and thin, somewhat hunchbacked, also white-skinned, with big eyes, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He studied in the United States and graduated from Yale University with a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering.
In order to facilitate his movement in Germany, Xia Chao accompanied Lucas, the leader of the sniper detachment, and Boros, a squad leader of another German mercenary reconnaissance detachment.
Boros was 29 years old, almost bald by nature, of medium height, with a stout build, and was one of the best in personal skill among the German mercenaries. He is especially good at grappling and fighting, and is also good at using throwing knives, within 25 meters, and has 100 shots.
Boros and Lucas were brought by Chen Shuming and others who insisted on letting Xia Chao bring them.
At dinner, they discussed how to get to Germany. Now it is different from the past, the sea is full of Japanese ships, and it is not possible to take a boat. Although the Japanese army gave Germany face, it was still troublesome to check out the Chinese. The summer dynasty itself is not willing, this is not far to Germany, take a boat monkey year to Germany? He didn't want to delay too long, he wanted to complete the mission and come back to the war as soon as possible.
In the summer, the DPRK proposed to take a plane, transit from the Soviet Union, to Germany.
For 20 years before the German invasion of the Soviet Union, Soviet-German relations were essentially in a honeymoon phase. Germany provided great help to the industrial construction of the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union gave Germany great support in terms of raw materials.
Now that China and Japan are at war, if you take a plane to the Soviet Union, you can only choose to fly from Nanjing to Taiyuan, through Ulanqab, and through Mongolia to the Soviet Union.
After contact with Hans, the formalities for transit from the USSR were quickly completed. On 6 October, they boarded a German Ju52/3mg military transport plane and headed for Germany.
The German-made Ju52/3mg military transport aircraft is strange and has 3 engines. In addition to the crew, the carrying capacity is 18 soldiers. Of course, there were no soldiers this time, and the only members were Xia Chao and others.
The planes did not encounter any problems in their domestic flights, but they ran into trouble when they passed through Mongolia (at this time, Outer Mongolia had not yet been separated).
What they did not expect was that the Japanese Chahar sent the Second Independent Flying Group of the Corps, which was stationed at the temporary airfield in Chifeng three days ago.
In order to familiarize themselves with the situation in the theater as soon as possible, a Japanese reconnaissance plane conducted reconnaissance in the direction of Mongolia. In order to clearly observe the situation on the ground, the Japanese pilot flew the plane at an altitude of 1,000 meters.
At this time, the Ju52/3mg military transport aircraft was flying above the clouds at a distance of 2,000 meters. The Ju52/3mg military transport aircraft is equipped with a machine gun with 1×13mm MG-131 or 7.92mm MG15 machine guns in the rear and a 1×7.92mm machine gun in the front and back positions, 2× 7.92mm machine guns on both sides of the fuselage.
The machine gunners, who were in the back position, were the first to spot the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft. He shouted: "Enemy aircraft spotted!" ”
It is not clear how the Japanese planes of the Japanese army appeared here. He came over to see that it was a Japanese reconnaissance plane. He hurriedly ordered: "Kill it, quick!" ”
The machine gunners opened fire on the Japanese planes. Due to his panic, he did not hit the Japanese reconnaissance plane for half a day.
At this time, the Japanese reconnaissance plane also spotted the transport plane above, and he reported to the command tower while dodging.
Xia Chao said: "You get out of the way, let me come!" The machine gunner was still somewhat reluctant and did not move. Summer Cho grabbed him by the neck and threw him behind. Pick up the machine gun and start aiming.
He concentrated, quickly calculated the data in his head, distance, relative speed, wind speed, air temperature, air pressure, a series of data comprehensive calculations, and the angle and advance were immediately displayed in front of him. He swept towards the 35 secret position in the lower right of the Japanese reconnaissance plane, and a long string of machine gun bullets flew over, and the reconnaissance plane flew there right and hit it!
The Japanese pilot was hit by at least five or six bullets in the head and back, and the plane lost control and fell downward.
The heavy, thrown to the ground, annoyed. But the man is a general, and he does not dare to attack. He just questioned in his heart, I can't fight a professional machine gunner, and you can't do it. Unexpectedly, in just half a minute, they killed the Japanese reconnaissance plane. He couldn't help but admire it immensely.
Xia Chao left the machine gun and said loudly: "Machine gunner, get ready for the Japanese attack!" Immediately, he came to the cockpit and said to the pilot: "Immediately climb to 3800 meters and sail at maximum speed." ”
Xia Chao was worried that the Japanese army had received a report from a reconnaissance plane, and it would not be fun to send fighters.
The Japanese command tower did receive a report from the reconnaissance plane, and they immediately ordered the fighter to take off.
At this time, the first squadron leader Takakura Kenyuki and his wingman were on combat readiness duty at the airfield, and they immediately flew in the direction reported to the reconnaissance plane by flying two Type 96 fighters.
The Japanese commander was not at ease and ordered the other planes of the detachment on duty to take off. Eight minutes later, a second batch of six fighters also took off.
At this time, the summer was still 40 minutes away from the territory of the USSR for them! The JU52/3MG transport aircraft had a speed of only 257 km/h, while the Japanese Type 96 fighter had a speed of 360 km/h.
The commander of the first squadron of the Japanese army, Takakura Kenyuki, flew directly to the border of the Soviet Union according to the direction of the enemy plane's advance provided by the reconnaissance plane, and wanted to intercept the enemy plane.
In the summer, the DPRK ordered all personnel to observe the portholes and firing ports in an effort to detect enemy planes as soon as possible.
Seeing that the plane was only 20 minutes away from the Soviet Union. The machine gunner in the back position of the front aircraft shouted: "Enemy aircraft found!" This time, he automatically gave up his firing position.
Xia Chao saw that diagonally below, two Japanese fighters rushed towards the Ju52/3mg transport plane. He hurriedly aimed at a fighter and opened fire.
Summer fired at the end of the day, and a Japanese fighter exploded in the air. He then opened fire on another Japanese plane.
Takakura did not expect that the enemy's transport plane was so powerful, and he seemed to see the flash of the muzzle of the machine gun on the enemy plane. He didn't care so much and pressed the machine gun button hard. Then, his eyes went black and he lost consciousness.
The summer court knocked out the enemy plane, but almost all of Takakura's dying bullets hit the nose of the transport plane.
The main and co-pilots of the transport plane were all killed, and one of the three engines was also damaged, and the plane lost control and fell down.
