Chapter 1752 Depression

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    While speaking, the second bomber had already flown down.  The propellers on both sides of the bomber were turning, and it seemed to be fine, but when it slid down the runway, it was discovered that the rudder surface at the tail of the plane had been smashed, leaving only a little bit.  Along the way, the aircraft has completed the adjustment of the flight attitude by adjusting the power of the engines on both sides and relying on the pilot's excellent technology.  The pilot was indeed lucky enough.  Then the third, the fourth, almost every plane was wounded.  It seems that their bombing operation did not go well this time.

    Unknowingly, Qin Baoshan thought of the two bombers left behind. At this time, the two bombers had completed their mission and returned to Chongqing. I don¡¯t know if the crew of the two planes would thank Qin Baoshan.  It was precisely because of Qin Baoshan's request that they came down and did not participate in this dangerous operation.

    Although the planes that came back were more or less injured, they were better than those that didn't come back.  After these crew members came down, they were also very depressed.

    War is about killing people, and they all know this.  The companions before take-off, I don¡¯t know how many times they will not come back. They have this kind of preparation in their hearts, but when this situation really appears in front of them, they will still be depressed.

    Inside the base, the atmosphere became tense.  Fortunately, the hangar had already been built at this time, so these planes were dragged into the hangar after landing.  This is very convenient for maintenance or concealment.  Some people on the plane were injured, and emergency rescue was carried out after getting off.  Until the last plane landed, Qin Baoshan looked at the sky and could no longer hear the roar.

    "Compared to the ones that set off before dawn, there are still three bombers that have not returned." Zhao Gang on the side whispered.

    Qin Baoshan nodded: "Let our runway lights stay on for another half an hour, so that we can give them directions in case they come back."

    Zhao Gang nodded.

    When Qin Baoshan came to the medical room beside him, Major Kromlin had already woken up.  He wasn't hurt, he was just too tired from flying all the way.  At this time, a needle had been pierced into the back of his hand.  On a shelf next to it hung a bottle of glucose injection.  It was transported from the continental United States to treat the sick.  Major Cromlin was very tired all the way, and now he is weak and seriously lacks nutrient solution, so he was given a bottle.  Before World War II, the United States had already begun to industrially produce this glucose injection.  In the war, this method of infusion did not know how many American lives were saved.

    At this time, when he saw Qin Baoshan walking in, Major Cromlin's tired eyes finally opened.  He said to Qin Baoshan: "my friend, it's great to see you again!"

    "Three of them did not come back." Qin Baoshan said: "We waited for half an hour. We were sure they would not come back again, so we turned off the runway lights."

    Turning on the runway lights will expose the target, so in normal times, they would not do this.  But now that I think about it, maybe the other party will insist on flying over.  In order to remind them where they ran, Qin Baoshan took the risk to open it.  I just waited for half an hour and still didn't arrive.  This is completely hopeless, and the plane must have run out of fuel after such a long time.

    "Thank you, my friend." Hearing what Qin Baoshan said, he did not hesitate to expose himself and provide convenience for them. Major Kromlin was very grateful.  His eyes fixed on Qin Baoshan, but soon, his vision became blurred again, and he thought about today's action again.

    "My friends, you must be very unlucky today." Qin Baoshan said.

    "Yes, when we were returning, we were targeted by Japanese planes. We fought desperately, but we were still powerless." Colonel Cromlin said.

    The last time Qin Baoshan went with him, he was spotted by a plane.  At that time, they also went through a lot of twists and turns before they could be regarded as successfully out of danger.  What about this time?  This time, there are a large number of devil planes waiting.  What an air battle it was!  At this time, the sound of machine guns firing non-stop was still echoing in his ears.

    The loss this time is a bit big, they don't know when they will be able to carry out the next bombing, and they may even stop this bombing operation because the loss is too great!  Thinking of this, his eyes were a little confused.

    Seeing what he was thinking at this time, Qin Baoshan said: "It seems that it is impossible to have only the bomber unit. You need to be escorted by the fighter unit."

    It is dangerous for bombers to fly in the sky. When enemy fighter jets fly over, they will be fiercely intercepted.  Due to the huge size of the bomber, it is impossible to avoid it by maneuvering.  can only rely on? Counterattack with your own machine gun, and at the same time, rely on the robustness of the aircraft to withstand those bullets.  Of course, this is not the safest, there will always be accidents.

    So they need to be escorted by fighter jets.  In this way, when they fly to their destination, if they encounter enemy interception, their fighter jets will fly over and engage the enemy, so that they can protect them.

    After hearing Qin Baoshan's suggestion, Major Cromlin shook his head helplessly.  If they had qualified fighters, there would be no need for them to work so hard now.  The fighter body is small and exquisite, maneuverable and flexible.  However, it also leads to a disadvantage of short legs.  After all, such fighter jets are small in size, and their fuel capacity is not high.  So it can't meet the needs of long-distance flights at all.  Except for the weird Zero fighter of the little devil, most of the fighters have a range of less than a thousand kilometers.  How could it be possible to provide them with escort missions for such long-range bombing?

    "Your domestic p-51 fighter jets are very good. If you can replace them with British-made engines, then you can definitely improve the range and meet the escort needs of long-range bombing." Qin Baoshan said.

    Speaking of the weapons in World War II, there are countless. Take fighter jets as an example, each country has its own ace, Japan's Zero War, Germany's bf109, Britain's Spitfire, and the Soviet Union's Jacques.

    What about America?  The best fighter jet in the United States is the p-51!  It's just that this aircraft has not yet shined, because it uses the same liquid-cooled engine as the p-40 with only a one-stage supercharger. This engine's high-altitude performance is seriously insufficient, which restricts the p-51's  Development, although the p-51 is under development, many advanced technologies have been adopted, such as the tall laminar airfoil and the simple body shape.  However, the overall performance is still not high, and it was not until the engine was replaced that it ushered in the second spring.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
