Chapter four hundred and seventy-ninth sea storm
Landing at night is already very difficult, and it is all guided by lights. Only the most experienced pilot can land. If you encounter complex weather again, it will be even more troublesome.
The worst thing is that other methods are ineffective. For example, if the pilot is unable to land, he can jump off the plane, throw away the plane, and then be fished up by himself. But now, the wind and waves are so strong that if he parachuted down, he will be instantly blown away and swept away by the waves.
You can only land!
Asim continued to fly around the aircraft carrier with difficulty, and he saw the people above making nervous preparations.
The entire rear deck was cleared and cleared to the front, and in the middle of the deck, a large net was erected, which was the last resort.
In this era, Britain, the United States and other countries are aircraft carriers that go straight to the deck. The first half takes off and the second half lands. In order to prevent risks from arising from landing, the front will be cleared during landing operations. If the landing is not successful, it will be able to fly again.
However, if there is an airplane in front and there is no way, just erect a net in the middle and artificially divide the deck. If the airplane does not slow down when landing, it will hit the net.
It's so violent.
Now, the German aircraft carrier is already on the beveled deck, and this net has almost never been used. Now, it is finally going to be used.
A call from the bridge came from the headphones. After Ashim went around, he re-pointed the landing line.
A gust of wind rushed over, causing Stuka to shake twice in an instant. Asim stabilized the operating lever and continued to land along the sliding line.
As he got closer, his plane's speed was also decreasing.
Not bad, the track is right!
Thank God!
Just when Asim's plane was a few meters away from the deck, suddenly, a powerful airflow was blowing in front of him! This airflow provided vertical lift to the plane. In a blink of an eye, the plane rose by five meters!
Damn it!
Asim didn't know who to curse, so he pushed the operating rod hard. This was the last chance, he had no choice! Flying another circle, the wind and waves would be even bigger!
He pressed the lever forward with great force, and the Stuka bomber almost dived downward and came towards the deck again.
Everyone was sweating. They saw that Stuka's posture was completely incorrect, but now there was no choice.
Stuka finally landed again! At this time, it was less than thirty meters away from the blocking net, and it was the nose of the machine to rush down!
As it was about to contact the deck, Asim shut down the engine, the propeller in front stopped, and then, the thick landing gear hit the deck.
not good!
When the wheel and the deck came into contact, it suddenly bounced up again!
The wheel on the left bounced up, causing the wing on the right to tilt downward, rubbing with the deck, sparks emerged, and then the plane turned around and flipped over.
Take the top!
The propeller was bent, the front of the nose was rotten, and you could smell the terrible gasoline in the air, and then the entire plane crashed into the net!
The net was pulled tightly, as if it was about to be broken. The canopy sniffed, and it seemed to crack the next moment, but it still held on.
Finally stopped! The cockpit was complete, and it seemed that the pilots inside should be fine! Moreover, the plane was not very important, and it could still be dispatched after maintenance.
At this moment, suddenly, a huge wave hit and the deck tilted three degrees to the left.
The plane that had just taken the big header suddenly turned over again as the wavered.
This time, the entire wing was broken, and fortunately, the fuselage was flat at this time.
Opening the hatch, Asim crawled out of it, looking at the deck staff who were greeting him, he waved: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
He was fine, and this accident did not scare him. As a naval pilot, he had been mentally prepared for a long time.
"Quick, dodge!" At this moment, he shouted loudly, running to the side.
"Bang!" Something fell from above my head. It was a radar antenna on the bridge. It was blown away under the strong wind!
The harsh sea conditions of the Atlantic Ocean are so terrible.
In the east, the sky gradually became brighter, but in bad weather, there was no sign of stopping.
In the face of nature, people will appear so small.
The USS Deutsch warship swayed on the sea, and in another half a day, it would sail into the North Sea. When it got there, the waves would become smaller.
This warship with a displacement of over 10,000 tons was constantly shaking, and the Atlantic storm also made the German ship sail in a difficult time. Especially, the last time he was hit by a torpedo, his speed had already dropped.
"Our radar is broken and cannot search the nearby sea." On the bridge, Stanger received a report.
In fact, radar is the newborn of this era, and electronic systems are naturally flawed. The salt and moisture on the sea can cause electronic equipment to strike.
German technicians have been developing for several years before they can overcome the reliability problem. Unfortunately, it still cannot operate normally under harsh sea conditions.
Stanger nodded: "Send a lookout post and be ready to enter the state of combat at any time."
In theory, it is difficult for the fleet to have artillery battles in such bad weather, but the British warships were killed again last night. At this time, the British must have been furious and wanted to get back the scene.
Now, when you return to the North Sea, you still have to bypass the UK, and the British may not be allowed to come out to provoke.
This journey is the most dangerous.
Fortunately, after radio contact, our aircraft carrier formation was only fifty nautical miles away from him and would come up to provide protection for him at any time. He was not fighting alone.
Through the bridge, Stanger looked at the prisoners sitting on the deck. There was no way, the internal space of the warship was limited, so in the harsh sea conditions, they could only let the prisoners sit on the deck. Fortunately, they all had ropes.
Of course, those who performed outstandingly were arranged in the cabin, such as Bruce, who had temporarily gained trust and were arranged in the cabin to hide from the wind and rain.
"Alarm, find the British fleet!" At this moment, the lookout hand loudly reported to the bridge through the megaphone: "The number, about ten ships, the main British fleet of local forces has been dispatched!"
The British, it's true!
If the radar is still fine, they can detect the target in advance, but now, under the harsh sea conditions, the lookout whistle only discovered the other party at a distance of ten nautical miles!
Chapter completed!
