Chapter 1704: Belly Turret Rescue

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Only when a person sits upside down will he operate the machine gun to shoot the lower hemisphere. Although the plane sometimes falls upside down, and the crew also upside down, it is temporary after all.  The upside-down machine gunner is not a matter of a few minutes, it may sit for half an hour, or even an hour, who can stand this, what a bloodshot head.

    Later, the designer also felt that this method was not very good, so he built a special periscope, so that the shooter is upright, but shooting through this special periscope can easily make the gunner feel dizzy.  As a user of the b-25 bomber, Doolittle is quite right to speak. He once said: "If a gunner learns to play the violin with the energy of learning to use the belly turret, he can already learn to play the violin at Carnegie.  There¡¯s a concert in the hall.¡± Some people described it as: ¡°It¡¯s as difficult as asking a person who has taken a crash course in music to go to the Golden Hall to conduct a performance.¡±

    In short, there are countless criticisms. In addition to the difficult operation, this kind of telescopic belly turret is often stuck. It can be stretched out, but it cannot be retracted, and it is uncomfortable when landing.  Almost all crew members of the b25 bomber do not like this belly turret.  After many crew members received the new aircraft, the first thing they did was remove the belly turret.  For them, what they need most is not the belly turret, but the tail gun of the aircraft.  After all, generally speaking, air attacks will start from the tail of the aircraft. If a tail turret is added to the b25 bomber, their self-defense capabilities can be greatly improved.

    At this time they were climbing, and an enemy plane appeared below, so it should be most suitable for them to use this kind of belly turret at this time.  As the radio operator who specializes in operating this turret, he sat there with his head down, then pushed the dual 12.7mm machine guns inside the turret, and began to aim at the target.

    In the field of vision, the plane is getting bigger and bigger, and finally I can see the appearance of the plane clearly.  If you don't observe carefully, it is easy to think that it is a Zero fighter commonly used by the Japanese Navy.  But in fact, the logo on the wing is not that of the Japanese Navy, but a fighter jet of the Japanese Army.  This is the main fighter of the Japanese Army.

    Type 1 fighter jets, from the beginning of the war to the end, produced a total of 5,000 to 6,000 planes, which is the second-highest production model in the country. The number one is the Navy's Type 0 fighter jets.  However, judging by the production volume, you can tell that the little devil has no hope. The models before the war are already outdated by the war. Unfortunately, the latter ones are not good enough.

    At the same time, because the little devils are full of self-confidence, they also want to do a common trick in the world's air forces, which is to give the plane a name, so they named their plane "Falcon".

    In particular, when the promotional films "Kato Hayabusa Combat Team" and "Wing ¤Î Triumph" and so on were continuously played by the little devils, many young people of the little devils fanatically worshiped this kind of aircraft.

    At this time, the Japanese Army pilot Hashimoto Tairo was driving his fighter jet and quickly climbed up.  This fighter is the same as the Zero type. Although the power of the engine is not very high, even less than 1,000 horsepower, it can climb very fast due to its light weight and small windward area.  After hearing the dispatch of American bombers on the radio.  He originally planned to return to the voyage after completing the mission, but immediately chased after him.  Now seeing the fleet of bombers in front of him, Hashimoto took a deep breath, gently pulled the control lever, adjusted his nose pointing, aimed his machine gun at the bombers above, and started  First shot.

    Almost at the same time he fired, the belly turret of the b-25 bomber began to straf him.  The four belly turrets on the four B-25 bombers and eight 12.7mm machine guns fired at Daro Hashimoto together.  But Daro Hashimoto was not afraid at all. At this moment, he only had target bombers in his eyes.

    He just continued to fly in the rain of bullets, and every few bullets would have a tracer bullet, and he could use that trajectory to correct the trajectory.  At this time, looking at the deviation of the impact point, he gently pushed the joystick and adjusted it a little.  Then, dense bullets hit the belly of the leading b25 bomber.

    When the sound of Dangdang sounded, Major Cromlin and the others could not help but scream in their hearts. Then, there was a scream from the direction of the bomber's belly turret.

    "Help, help!" The voice echoed in the plane, and everyone became anxious immediately.

    "I'll save him!" Qin Baoshan shouted.  While talking, he quickly pulled off the seat belt and oxygen mask, left his seat, and crawled backwards.  There are five people on the plane, each with their own jobs.  Except for the screaming belly gunner, the two gunners on the nose and back of the machine were ready to shoot at any time and could not move.  Major Cromlin is driving, atIn this case, as the captain, he was responsible for operating the plane, so Qin Baoshan was the only idler.

    Thanks to Qin Baoshan coming up, if not for the idler Qin Baoshan, no one would have rescued the radio operator!  When Qin Baoshan ran over, he was surprised to find that this companion was really miserable. His telescopic turret was actually knocked down by others.  The transparent glass cover had disappeared, and because he was in an upside-down state, there was nothing above his head at this time.  The upper half of his body has been exposed outside.  If it wasn't for the protection of the safety rope, he would have fallen completely at this time.  His two legs were still inside the cabin, moving constantly, trying to find something that could fix his own body.  However, where his thighs are as flexible as his hands, he has no possibility at all.  At this time, there were red bloodstains on his body. It is not known whether he was shot or scratched by fragments.

    Qin Baoshan passed in time, he grabbed his legs hard, and then began to pull them back.  While pulling, Qin Baoshan shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, I will rescue you."

    At this time, the plane was still climbing upwards, and the floor was inclined.  Qin Baoshan was actually full of danger standing there, but in this situation, he had to try his best to save people.  At this time, the poor radio operator was still shaking his body because of fright, coupled with the outside airflow, Qin Baoshan's rescue was very difficult, he pulled the radio operator up little by little.  First the lower body, then the upper body, the radio operator's two arms grabbed the side of the turret and finally climbed up.

    "Thank God," said the radio operator.

    Qin Baoshan is a little unhappy, you should thank me, just now, I didn't see the person you said came to save you.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
