Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 93 Stuka attacks 3



The operator of the 85mm anti-aircraft gun was shaking the anti-aircraft gun crazily and erecting the anti-aircraft gun. The loader had already opened the ammunition box and was preparing to stuff the shells inside into the gun bore.

Just then they heard a terrible scream falling from the sky, like a reminder from hell, strangling their hearts and making them almost breathless!

Early World War II Stukas were equipped with a special buzzer called the "Horn of Jericho" that produced a terrifying scream. The purpose is to cause great psychological pressure on the enemy, coupled with the Stuka's precise and violent attacks. As long as all the countries fighting Germany at that time heard this voice, they knew that Stuka would bring death to their heads, making enemy soldiers frightened, and indeed achieving the purpose of psychological warfare. However, due to the impact on the flight attitude and speed, the special "Jericho Horn" was canceled in the later model.

The loader held the shell in his hand, but he seemed to be frozen and unable to move. Several people could only watch helplessly as the bomber that made a strange scream dropped a big bomb and climbed rapidly.

The bomb accidentally hit the barrel of the anti-aircraft gun, causing a violent explosion that swept everything around it.

The Stuka is known as the most powerful dive bomber in World War II. Its structure is sturdy and can withstand rapid and large-angle dive operations. At the same time, the aircraft is extremely stable during the dive, with basically no shaking, which greatly increases the hit rate of bombs. Some even call it a highly skilled pilot. Bombs can be dropped into chimneys.

However, this almost abnormal stability has brought some troubles to the pilot's combat. In sharp contrast with its excellent dive performance, its maneuverability has gone to the other extreme.

The maneuverability of the Stuka can simply be described as poor. Although the huge ailerons can get it out of high-speed dives, the resulting sluggishness sometimes makes the pilot crazy.

When encountering an enemy fighter attack, the pilot's control cannot obtain a timely response on these two ailerons. Each movement will be delayed for a second or two before receiving a response, and one or two seconds is enough for those light fighters to respond. Drill dozens of holes into the Stuka.

The Stuka's longitudinal stability prevents it from making large-scale maneuvers in time. Even the slowest fighter is more flexible than it. Although the strong fuselage makes it withstand damage better than a fighter jet, this can only extend its survival time, and it will be shot down sooner or later.

Coupled with its embarrassing speed, although the design speed can reach a maximum of 410km/h, the speed can only reach 190km/h when loaded with bombs. Not to mention an advanced monoplane fighter, even a biplane can abuse it hundreds of times. It is simply the enemy's most ideal prey.

Especially when it is diving, any external interference will make it lose control. At that time, a fighter jet only needs to give it a slight blow to turn it into a ball of burning metal fragments on the ground.

Its performance makes it an unquestionably excellent weapon and an irrefutably excellent target on the battlefield. This is the Stuka, a weapon full of contradictions.

But no matter what, Yannick will not abandon it due to its extremely excellent ground support capabilities.

At this time, the Stuka driven by Edman had dropped below one thousand meters, and the speed had reached the upper limit of 600 kilometers. The solid earth was like a wall rushing towards us.

A few seconds later, the alarm indicator light on the altimeter finally came on, which indicated that the aircraft had reached the bombing height. Edman pressed the bombing button on the joystick hard, and a bomb hung under the belly of the aircraft. The 150-kilogram bomb immediately separated from the aircraft, and then rushed towards the 85mm anti-aircraft gun on the ground as if it was attracted by the ground.

Edman pressed the automatic leveling control button on the joystick, and the nose of the plane began to rise rapidly. Six g's of gravity pressed him firmly into his seat. The plane moved at ten degrees per second. The speed changed from dive.

When the plane's nose had just returned to level, Edman immediately retracted the dive speed brake, adjusted the propeller pitch to the take-off position, opened the cooler baffle and then pushed the throttle fully. The engine fired at the maximum boost of nine kilograms. There was a huge roar, dragging Stuka's bulky body and slowly crawling towards the high altitude.

Edelman breathed a sigh of relief and began to circle upward to observe the results of the bombing.

The result made him very satisfied. His bomb accurately hit the target and blew up the anti-aircraft gun.

The other Stukas have basically completed their respective tasks and are leveling off from the dive. "Each crew reported their own situation. Is there any loss?"

After hearing the report that his subordinates were unscathed, Edman breathed a sigh of relief. This mission was relatively simple. If there were any losses, it would be really embarrassing. "The mission continues. The first formation will follow me to blow up their planes. The second formation will destroy the surrounding buildings, especially the three-story building that looks like a warehouse."

Suddenly someone interrupted. "Wait, there are enemy planes in the air. You can continue after we clear them up." It was the BF109 above. Before he finished speaking, he saw one after another BF109 roaring and swooping down, heading towards those who had just taken off. The I-16 struck.

Because the Stuka's primary target was the anti-aircraft artillery position, they had no time to bomb the airport runway. As a result, the I-16s and even I-15s on the tarmac rushed into the sky, and they seemed to be fighting them desperately.

Edman was speechless in frustration. If they had a few more Stukas, they could easily destroy the runway and eliminate these enemy planes on the ground. He then denied his naive idea. You must know that most propeller aircraft do not have high requirements for runways. Flat and solid ground can allow aircraft to take off and land.

Even if they did blow up the runway, enemy planes would still be able to take off through the flat ground next to it. After all, it is not the jet aircraft of later generations, which requires asphalt or cement runways. It is inspected by a line of people almost every day, and there is not even a screw.

The six Stukas could only circle and watch the air battle below.

Because most of the newly arrived I-16s have not yet been assembled, only thirteen can take off for combat, and the rest are 17 I-15s.

This number was only enough for ten BF109s to fit between their teeth. Soon, thirteen I-16s were shot down one after another, followed closely by the I-15s who were even less able to fight back.

These heroic Soviet aircraft took to the air, allowing German pilots to easily achieve 30 victories. Frank finally got his wish and entered the ranks of ace pilots.

Without these troublesome guys, the Stuka bombers swooped down again, blowing up all the visible buildings on the ground.
