Chapter 11: The Raid

Giuseppe Caproni's forehead was covered with a bloody scar.

Qian Zhi was stunned, as if this whip was drawn on himself, who would dare to treat the flying hero in the Alps like this? Ouyang Anna put away her horsewhip and said in fluent French: "Mr. Caproni, please don't be indifferent to girls. ”

I thought that the Italian would be furious, but I didn't expect him to wipe the blood and smile at the Chinese girl: "The scar is a man's medal, the pilot can conquer the sky, but he may not be able to conquer the beautiful girl, because you are more charming than the sky." ”

It turned out that this Caproni was also a lover of sadomasochism, and the whip aroused his interest even more. He graciously invited Anna and Chanco to sit on the edge of the runway for coffee and watch the cadets soar into the sky.

"I'm just an adventurous pilot and I happened to learn how to design flying machines from my older brother. By the way, my brother Giovanni Battista Caproni is a great man and the most famous aircraft designer in the world today, he has the largest aircraft factory in Europe in Milan. ”

Giuseppe is not fluent in French, but has a strong desire to express himself. He flaunted his adventures, flying continuously in Africa before the Great War, crossing the Sahara Desert and landing in isolated oases to enjoy the kiss of an Arabian princess.

"Mr. Caproni, can you fly a plane anywhere in the world?"

"As long as I want to go!" The Italians have read countless women and know how to talk to girls, "Miss Anna, I am willing to serve you." ”

"You swear?"

"Swear! In the name of the Virgin Mary and my mother! ”

Seeing that Caproni had been riding a tiger, Anna smiled lightly: "The place I'm going to is not far away, just in Paris, Versailles." ”

Half an hour later, a large biplane was ready, requiring two pilots to operate and also carrying two or three passengers. Caproni took the lead in sitting in the cockpit, commanding the cadets on the ground to clear the runway, igniting the engine, and the propellers began to rotate, making a deafening noise, and the wind blew Ouyang Anna's hair, like a black silk flag. Chanco put on his flight suit, climbed into the co-pilot's cabin, put his ear against Anna and said, "Are you sure you want to go on an adventure?" ”

"Life and death are fateful, but I must save Qin Beiyang."

"Beiyang is kind to my family, and I am willing to save him." Chanco sat in the cabin and muttered to himself, "It would be better if we could save the four-winged angel!" ”

Feeling like her scalp was going to be blown off by the strong wind of the propellers, Anna climbed into the passenger compartment in the nose position, which in the case of a military aircraft was where the machine gun would be.

Giuseppe Caproni made a V-shaped gesture, the co-pilot Qian Ke followed with a thumbs up, and Ouyang Anna also drew a gourd. The engine and propeller were too noisy, and there was no fully enclosed cabin, so their heads were exposed to the air, and they could only communicate with each other by gesticulating. The civilian version of the Italian Caproni CA30 bomber, with a double-layer wing twin tail boom single flat tail and three vertical tails, equivalent to three fuselages, has three auxiliary propellers, three Fiat A10 6-cylinder in-line water-cooled engines, and a power of 100 hp each - two of which are at the front end of the tail boom on both sides, and one is inverted at the tail end of the central fuselage nacelle. It was the ace of the First World War, flew many bombing missions, and performed many feats in the Alps and the Adriatic Sea.

As the plane left the ground, Anna couldn't help but scream. She clutched the cabin tightly, feeling her heart hanging over the wings. Looking back at the Polytechnic University of Paris and the Bois de Boulogne, as well as the splendid mansion on the banks of the Seine, the most striking thing is the Eiffel Tower, which connects Xiao Han. Caproni steered the elevator, flipping up and pulling up, flipping down, and controlling the direction by the vertical tail, turning left and right, right and left. He must have often taken the girl on a plane, just like experiencing the thrill of flying in bed.

A few minutes later, we came to the skies above Versailles. The wings glided past Louis XIV's palace, the hotel where the delegations were stationed, and headed straight for the military base in the forest, where there was an airstrip. Anna thought to herself, even if she was arrested after landing, she had diplomatic immunity, and she could claim that she did not know that this was a military restricted area, and asked the French military to release Qin Beiyang and the Tomb Beast.

Caproni gesticulates again and tells Chanco and Anna to prepare to land. The plane was aiming at the runway, and the soldiers below fled in a panic, but there was a loud bang from the factory warehouse in front of them.

It exploded.

Directly in front of the runway, a mushroom cloud of flames rose from the factory, and countless steel and wood chips blasted into the sky, causing the wings of the Caproni bomber to sway violently. Ouyang Anna, who was sitting in the front of the plane, hurriedly put on the flight goggles, and her hair was almost burned.

Caproni had no choice, the runway length was too short for the bomber. Moreover, the flames in front of them will burn them to ashes. But he is Giuseppe Caproni, the greatest pilot in the world, and there is nothing Giuseppe cannot do. He did not regret his hasty promise, calmly adjusted the nose of the plane, and continued to land on the runway. Chanko let out a frantic scream, thinking that death was at hand, and that he would either fall to his death or burn to death.

The landing gear is still ten meters above the ground.

Before Anna could close her eyes, several figures rushed out of the sea of fire at the end of the runway. The first was a tall black-haired boy with a three-foot Tang knife stuck in his back, and his clothes were burned to the ground. There was a big dog with a red mane beside him, also spreading its four legs and running wildly.

"Qin Beiyang!"

Anna almost stood up from the nose of the plane and shouted the name of the parting for three days and two nights. However, the sound of the explosion and the roar of the plane landing completely drowned out her voice.

And behind Qin Beiyang, there was also a blonde man with Germanic characteristics, he was Baron Wolff, a White Russian nobleman, who obviously couldn't run anymore and fell on the track again. Qin Beiyang turned around and grabbed his arm, cheering him up in German, and he had to escape from this prison no matter what.

In a matter of seconds, Caproni's plane was on the ground, taxiing at high speed on the runway. Qin Beiyang just wanted to escape from the runway, so as not to be crushed by the plane and die, but Jiuse bit his trouser legs, as if reminding something? He furrowed his eyebrows again, and looked carefully at the person at the head of the plane, but saw a hair fluttering, which seemed to be a woman? She was still waving and shouting to herself, as if she were Chinese......

Anna?

His angel has come to save him! Qin Beiyang and Jiuse came towards the plane, a gunshot rang out behind them, bullets flew over their heads, and the French soldiers guarding the base opened fire. The plane taxied slowly, and Qin Beiyang could see Anna's face clearly. Nine colors were the first to jump on the nose of the plane, and its bouncing power far exceeded that of humans. Then came Qin Beiyang, but he could only reach the lower edge of the nose, Anna grabbed his arm, Jiu Se tugged at his trouser strap, and pulled the nose cockpit with all his might.

Then there was Baron Wolfe, and when he also jumped on the nose of the glide and was grabbed by Qin Beiyang's arm, a bullet entered his vest.

Caproni was turning the plane, taxiing any further and heading into the flames. Countless bullets hit the fuselage, but fortunately this is a bomber modified from a certain bulletproof ability, as long as the engine and other vital parts are fine. Within a minute, Caproni and Chanco made a U-turn, and the co-pilot coordinated to re-maneuver the plane and taxi down the runway for takeoff.

Wolf is dying.

The landing gear left the ground, the nose raised high, and rushed towards the sunset over Versailles. Qin Beiyang still grabbed Wolf's right arm, and the body of the White Russian Baron hung down on the edge of the nose, like a hanged ghost hanging in mid-air.

"Let me go!" Wolf looked at Qin Beiyang with a dying look, "If you see my wife, please say it on my behalf - Katya, I love you!" ”

The last sentence is "Ich liebe dich" in German.
