Chapter 4: The Crazy Pilot

I've been flying for almost 4 hours, and according to the signs on the route map, I'm close to the target area. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But Lin Jun knew that it was just approaching, and in four hours, even if there was a little bit of crosswind, the plane would deviate for dozens of kilometers.

All you can do now is make an S-shaped flight and search the ice surface.

Under the plane is a large ice field, in fact, this is all ice floe, but it is very huge, and there are many ice floes in a radius of several square kilometers. Lin Jun kept the plane at an altitude of 1,500 meters, which allowed him to see far away without leaving a target.

"Where are they?"

Suddenly, Lin Jun saw a faint black smoke in the direction of sea level released from the northwest, "It's finally here!" ”

This is a piece of ice floe with a size of more than 10 square kilometers, and Lin Jun has already seen the crowd below, as if there are still forty or fifty people. The black smoke came from a tin bucket they kept warm.

Trying to land the plane on the ice close to the crowd, the crowd had already gathered around before the engine had turned off.

Lin Jun jumped off the plane, and a man in his 40s said to himself: "Thank you, brave comrade pilot!" I am the captain of the "Cheryuskin" Vasia • & Gligolevich & #8226 Karlov. ”

"Hello, Comrade Captain. I'm Andrey & #8226 from Messchmidt Airport, Nikolaevich & #8226, Prenyakov, you can call me Andrey. What's going on now? ”

"The situation is not very good, Comrade Andrei. There were 45 more people, fuel and food were running out, and several were frostbitten. And the ice floes are also in precarious condition, thanks to you brave pilots. ”

"Comrade captain, quickly organize people to unload things, and hurry up to refuel, we have to hurry up."

"Okay, Comrade Andrei." Karloff immediately organized personnel to unload the goods, and asked people to help Lin Jun refuel again.

The comrade who managed the stove over there brought Lin Jun a can of hot soup: "Comrade pilot, drink it while it's hot." ”

This is the best tasting broth Lin Jun has ever drunk in his life, and after drinking it, he feels that his stomach, which has been frozen into a piece, comes to life again.

"This comrade, hurry up and get some hot soup for the comrades who are going to get on the plane, or you won't be able to hold on."

"No problem, Comrade Pilot."

The plane had been refueled, and Captain Karloff had selected four of the weakest members of the expedition, and with everyone's help, four of them were squeezed into two seats.

"Captain, give them two blankets and wrap yourself up again, or you'll be popsicles before Metschmidt!" Lin Jun roared there.

My plane is semi-open, and the wind in the back two seats is stronger than the pilot's seat, and if you don't wrap it up, you will die.

The plane was about to take off again, and Lin Jun said to Captain Karloff: "Hold on, I'll be back in ten hours at most!" ”

This take-off was much more difficult than in Metzschmidt, the plane was a little overweight, and Lin Jun let the plane taxi for more than 100 meters before pulling up the nose. Amid the cheers of the expedition members, the biplane flew in the direction of land.

It was another more than three hours of silent flight, and apart from the roar of the engines and the sound of the wind, everything else was as monotonous. Lin Jun asked the four passengers behind him not to speak if it was unnecessary and to conserve their strength.

The land was in front, and Lin Jun shouted to the passengers behind: "Comrades, you are going home!" ”

The people at the airport had already heard the roar of the planes and came to the runway. Lin Jun looked down from the air and saw that there were several cars parked on the airport, which should have come to ambulate the expedition members.

As soon as the plane was stopped, the crowd gathered around. Ground staff and medical personnel carried the frozen expedition members from their seats to stretchers.

Lin Jun wanted to get off the plane by himself, but found that his legs were not very obedient, and it seemed that he was frozen. With the help of Ivan and the others, Lin Jun finally got off the plane.

"Uncle Ivan, get ready for your next departure, and leave in 2 hours." At this time, Lin Jun saw the beautiful doctor Vukinskaya again, and as soon as she heard that she was going to fly, she ordered everyone to carry herself to the dormitory together.

It's warm in the small dormitory, and the fire is burning in the fireplace. The comrades brought hot food to protect against the cold, but before Lin Jun could take a few bites, the Vukinskaya doctor gave the order.

The order is just one word - "Take off!" ”

The people in the room are not surprised, what the frozen people need is to immediately drag their clothes and massage them to restore normal blood circulation in their limbs.

Under the leadership of Ivan, a few people brought Lin Jun back to his original state, and the beautiful female doctor didn't know where to bring a large bottle of vodka and massage Lin Jun.

"Comrade Ivan, arrange to prepare for the next flight, and leave someone to help me." It was the female doctor who spoke.

Lin Jun lay comfortably, feeling the female doctor's skillful massage skills. He wasn't going to think about anything, knowing that Vukinskaya was just doing her job as a doctor.

Lin Jun, who was relaxed all over, was unconsciously on someone's side, and slept so comfortably.

I don't know how long I slept and heard someone calling me, Lin Jun woke up. When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was still that beautiful face.

"How long did I sleep?"

"It's more than an hour, and we're going to take off again in half an hour. You need to get up early to get your body used to the cold environment. ”

"Thank you! Comrade Vuginskaya. ”

Lin Jun found that he had changed into clean underwear, while the other clothes and flight suits were neatly placed next to the bed. I put on all my clothes neatly, ate hot food, and went outside.

There seemed to be more people at the airport, some of them possibly government officials. At this time, a group of people surrounded a person and walked towards him, and in the crowd, Lin Jun saw Yakov, the director of the airport who had not appeared, as if he had gone to Metzchmidt for a meeting.

As soon as the leader of the group saw Lin Jun, he said: "I am Vasily•Gaichakov, Chairman of the Messchmidt City Party Committee, and on behalf of the Messchmidt City Party Committee and the people of the city, I thank you and Comrade Molokov for your heroic actions. ”

"Thank you to the Party Committee and Comrade Chairman for their concern. It's about to take off again, and I need to make some more preparations, the details of which you can find out with Comrade Molokov. Sorry, Comrade President. "Lin Jun doesn't have time to talk to them now, and the ** staff in this era is still vigorous and resolute, not as many as the rules in later generations, let alone at the current emergency juncture.

"Comrade Andrey, we won't disturb your work anymore. We must pay attention to safety and be sure to rescue our comrades. "This chubby chairman of the party committee is also a cheerful person.

"I use the party spirit of the ** member to vouch, as long as I am alive, the route will not stop!" Lin Jun felt that what he said seemed to be very familiar?! After speaking, he ignored the group of people and walked briskly towards the plane. He already remembered that this Andrey had already joined the USSR last year.

Ivan was leading the ground crew to do the final inspection of the plane, and when he saw Lin Jun coming over, he quickly greeted him, and said: "Andrei, just now I received a telegram from the Jezhnio side, and they have another medium-sized transport plane returning to the airport and bringing out 12 comrades, but after the plane landed, the ground crew found that the engines of the plane were about to be reimbursed and could not perform the task again. And the weather conditions in Jezhnio are getting worse, and for a short time the comrades are counting on us. ”

"Brought out 12 people at a time, and it should have been Liapidevsky." Lin Jun thought so.

"Uncle Ivan, how's the take-off preparations?"

"Ready to take off at any time. You have to pay attention to safety, this trip is going to be a long time in the dark. ”

"Uncle Ivan, it's the same when it's dawn and it's dark, there's no difference. Again, I'll come back alive. "The head of the mechanical team usually takes good care of Andre.

"Prepare for takeoff." Lin Jun felt that he had adapted to the environment and couldn't wait to take off this time.

Lin Jun, who was in the driver's seat, received a thermos from the beautiful female doctor again, and this time Lin Jun did not call Vukinskaya a comrade, "Thank you, Vukinskaya." I'll be back in 8 hours. ”

In the eyes of everyone, Lin Jun's plane flew towards the sea again.

The night in the Arctic Ocean is not very dark, and when you look down from the plane, you can still see the shimmering silver ice fields.

Four hours later, Lin Jun saw the spark of hope again in his anxiety.

The condition of the expedition team members is even worse, and there are 29 people. The night in the Arctic Ocean is so cold that it can make people lose hope. But the eight intrepid pilots raised the hope of the expedition members.

This time, Lin Jun took 4 people again, and took off without making too many stops, time is life.

The route of life went back and forth, and Lin Jun miraculously made five round-trips in two days and two nights, flew the plane for 40 hours in 48 hours, and rescued 20 people. When he returned to the airport for the fourth time, Lin Jun was completely carried back to the dormitory, he was too tired.

"Andrey, Andrey."

Lin Jun, who was in a coma, seemed to hear someone calling for himself and woke up. Saw in the house there were Ivan, Dezhinho, Vuginskaya, the director of the airport Yakov and the chairman of the Messchmidt city party committee Vasily •Gaichakov. Vukinskaya's eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

"Comrade Molokov, why are you here?" Lin Jun felt that something was about to happen.

"Andrei, the Germanho side called again, and one of their pilots took the risk to save 4 people again. But the ice floes were breaking down, and the weather conditions in Jezhnio were no longer able to take off again. It will take more than 10 hours for planes from other places to arrive at our site at the earliest. But in the end, Captain Karlov and the other four comrades who remained on the ice floe could not wait for these 10 hours, and the plane would not be able to take off and land no matter how late it was. A telegram came from Moscow asking us to do everything we could to get them out. Andrey, can you still hold on? ”

Lin Jun is very tired now, but his life is at stake, so he is out of the way.

"Comrades, get ready to take off."

Everyone else left the room to prepare for takeoff, leaving only Lin Jun and Vukinskaya in the dormitory. The female doctor silently helped Lin Jun put on his flight gear.

"Andre, you must hold on and come back alive."

"I'm King Kong, I can't die." Lin Jun made a joke.

"King Kong life?"

"King Kong is a legendary god in Chinese legends, a god of battle, the kind that is immortal."

"Yes"

Everyone at the airport shook hands with Lin Jun tightly before he got on the plane, and everyone did not speak, knowing that this would be a flight to challenge the limits of human beings.

Meteorological conditions have deteriorated significantly, visibility has become very poor, and wind direction has become erratic. Lin Jun fell asleep countless times in four hours, but with an extremely strong will, he persevered and found the last five.

Before landing, Lin Jun observed the condition of the ice floe, which was very bad. Originally, the ice floe, which was more than 10 square kilometers in size, had been split into dozens of pieces, and the ice floe where the expedition team members were located was only 300 meters wide and only about 500 meters long.

"Comrade Andrei, just now we thought we were going to report to Comrade Lenin, but we didn't expect you to come." The captain was thrilled.

"As long as the comrades hold on, we will come."

Lin Jun instructed everyone to quickly fill up the gas, "Get on the plane quickly, everyone throw away all unnecessary things to reduce weight." The youngest comrade carried out the baggage barn, nailed to it to protect against the cold, and the person was to shrink up. When landing, the comrades in the back seat knocked on the plane with their hands, and the comrades inside heard the signal and must use their limbs against the four walls, otherwise they would not be in danger. You must not fall asleep, because if you fall asleep, you will not wake up. Be sure to stick to it! ”

Lin Jun turned the engine to maximum horsepower, and the plane gradually taxied.

The plane was already seriously overweight, and Lin Jun said to the gods and Buddhas in his heart: Bless the runway distance is enough.

Closer and closer to the edge of the ice floe, but the plane had not yet left the ice. Lin Jun felt that his heart was almost in his throat.

"Get up! Get up!! Lin Jun shouted loudly, as if his yelling could add some power to the plane.

Finally, the plane took off more than 10 meters from the edge of the ice floe.

After another long four hours, Lin Jun finally saw the airport again.

After landing the plane step by step, Lin Jun fell headlong in the cab and fainted.
