Airborne weapons and bombs have been prepared for a long time. In order to carry more bombs and machine gun ammunition, the auxiliary fuel tanks on the two wings of the fighter plane were removed, so that hundreds of kilograms of more ammunition can be carried.
Shanghai is not far from Nanjing Airport. The bomber can fly more than 2,000 kilometers with the auxiliary fuel tank. Even if the auxiliary fuel tank is removed, it can still fly 1,200 kilometers, which is enough for a round trip.
This is a stealth raid!
A surgical surprise strike.
Ground crew helped cover the cabin and then removed the escalator.
The shape of this bomber is in line with perfect dynamic characteristics. It adopts a streamlined fuselage and an elliptical plane wing and tail with a concave wing root trailing edge. Her weapons are suspended between the beams, with eight bombs in two rows and two rows. Before the bombing, Open the bomb boxes, and there is a bomb of no more than 200 kilograms hanging vertically in each box.
The Heinkel He111 A medium bomber engine started, the cockpit instruments lit up, and everything was normal on the fighter jet.
Zhou Zhihan wears a flying helmet that is invisible to others: visibility in the rain is 300 meters, wind speed is 13 meters per second, gusts are 20 meters per second, rainfall is 5 mm per hour, and the wind direction is erratic from the southeast...
The bomber slowly slid out of the hangar and into the wind and rain.
Zhou Zhihan made an OK gesture to everyone.
Zhou Zhirou saluted the bomber with a military salute.
All Air Force combat personnel also saluted the fighter jet.
Zhou Zhihan is about to take off against the wind.
The bomber has a wing length of 16 meters and a wingspan of 21.5 meters. The yellow fuselage is particularly conspicuous in the heavy rain, and the blue sky and white sun emblem is painted on the wings.
Slowly pushing the throttle forward, the bomber slowly accelerated into the wind, and the entire fuselage was swaying in the strong wind and heavy rain.
Because it is a typhoon and rainy weather, the direction of the typhoon is uncertain. Sometimes it is mixed with a burst of heavy rain and hits not far away, causing the smashed fuselage to shake wildly. Sometimes a strong wind is mixed with countless raindrops twisting in the air. It was messy and stirred, and suddenly it crashed to the ground with a crash.
The sky was filled with dark clouds.
The bomber accelerates forward!
Everyone's palms began to sweat, and they did not dare to breathe out, for fear that their breathing would increase the madness of the raging storm.
Relying on his solid take-off skills, Zhou Zhihan sailed upwind against the wind according to the accurate numbers given in his flight helmet. The bomber swayed left and right, like a leaf in a storm, and could be blown away by a hurricane at any time. Upward.
This time, it was the first time that the Chinese Air Force took off against wind and adverse conditions in a storm.
An unprecedented first time!
Zhou Zhihan pushed the throttle forward, causing the bomber to speed up and shake more violently.
Push the throttle again!
At the same time, the right hand perfectly cooperates with the throttle and slightly pulls the joystick backward.
"ah!!"
As the two front tires of the bomber were lifted up and then landed on the ground, everyone in the airport raised their hearts to their throats and exclaimed involuntarily!
Flying helmet: The wind is southeasterly, the wind is easing, and the wind is not big...
Best opportunity!
Zhou Zhihan pushed the throttle forward decisively and pulled back the joystick with his right hand.
"squeak……"
The two front tires of the bomber rubbed against each other in the rain, making a screeching sound. The moment it left the ground, the rear tire was also suspended in the air.
"Uh-huh!"
Zhou Zhihan pushed the throttle all the way down instantly.
The fighter plane was like a ferocious bullfight being released from its cage. It suddenly jumped up and its body trembled like a drunken bird swaying left and right in the wind.
"ah!"
Everyone exclaimed again.
"call out!"
Amid everyone's exclamations, the bomber, like an eagle flying against the wind in the wind and rain, rose up and flew into the sky. Although it looked extremely dangerous, it was still controllable.
At this time, all the pilots understood why Zhou Zhihan would give the throttle to the maximum take-off moment when the wheels lifted off the ground. Because the nose of the plane was raised, if it did not take off at full strength, the wheels would slide again when it landed on the ground, and the plane would directly Lost control and rolled over.
The plane climbed upward into the wind.
Everyone at the airport almost stopped breathing and looked up at the sky. Zhou Zhirou ran out from under the hangar regardless of the rain getting wet, and looked up at the Chinese war eagle that stood unyielding in the storm.
Everyone followed and looked up at the sky.
The Chinese war eagle took off strongly in the wind and rain.
The Chinese eagle flies into the sky.
Several cameras had been prepared to record this precious footage.
In order to allow pilots to view their take-off and landing processes, the military department purchased several cameras to record videos of outstanding pilots taking off and landing aircraft for rookie pilots to observe and learn.
The fighter plane climbed to 1,000 meters, and Zhou Zhihan dared to press the lever lightly, swaying in the wind and rain, turning slightly, facing the wind, and flew towards Shanghai.
Watching the yellow bomber disappear into the black clouds in the distance, the soldiers standing in the rain cheered in unison.
No one knows if there are tears in his eyes. The Chinese Air Force launched its first attack in a violent storm and successfully took off. This is very morale-boosting!
"This is a miracle!" Someone said in the storm. "This is the spirit of the Chinese Air Force that dares to show its sword when facing a powerful enemy!"
The fighter plane rose to an altitude of 1,000 meters and flew towards Shanghai. Huge raindrops hit the cockpit glass "bang bang bang", and the glass was blurred. Looking out from the inside, the forward visibility was not even 50 meters.
There were dark clouds in the sky, and the clouds kept pressing down. The unabated strong wind mixed with the heavy rain severely beat the fighter plane. In the sky, lightning struck out from the dark clouds, creating irregular spider web-like lines all around. The other four crew members were sitting on the seats. On the plane, they simply closed their eyes and rested their minds. They had a strong mentality and knew that they couldn't do anything to help at this time, so they simply closed their eyes and didn't look at anything.
Zhou Zhihan piloted the bomber, relying on the prompts of the flight helmet to constantly change its course to avoid possible lightning strikes, and then fly back to the planned route.
The two engines, the Junkers 211F-2 liquid-cooled V-12 piston engine, provide 1,400 horsepower, flying into the wind in the wind and rain, and flew towards Shanghai at a flight speed of 300 kilometers.
At this time, the strong wind was still raging, but the heavy rain gradually decreased and turned into moderate rain. It seems that this momentum will soon turn into light rain.
God bless, bless this violent storm that is still raging, making it impossible for Japanese planes to fly.
Zhou Zhihan knew that in such weather, no one in the world could take off except him, and the Japanese fighter planes would never be able to fly.
The fighter planes flew over the ancient town of Qiandeng in Jiangsu Province. The moderate rain really began to change to light rain, which was a bit disadvantageous to the bombers. If there was heavy rain that could block the enemy's sight, the bombers could make a sudden attack and retreat with one blow.
Once the heavy rain stopped but the strong wind continued, the favorable balance tilted towards the Japanese's defensive position.
At this time, Zhou Zhihan seemed to vaguely feel that there were figures on the ground below.
Are reinforcements from our army arriving?
The flight helmet shows that there are no tall buildings or trees within dozens of kilometers.
Zhou Zhihan lowered the nose of the plane and flew at low altitude.
On the ground were the people of Shanghai who had fled, carrying the elderly and the young, fleeing for their lives westward in the heavy wind and drizzle, in the mud. The scene was very miserable.
Hearing the roar of aircraft engines above their heads, some refugees looked up and saw military planes flying overhead. They could not tell whether they were national military planes or Japanese military planes in the wind and rain. The refugees were so frightened that they ran around. The old, weak, sick and disabled fell all over the place. It is the miserable state in the muddy rain that makes people feel pity.
Zhou Zhihan couldn't bear to watch any more and pulled up the nose of the plane: "Brothers, Shanghai is coming. Cheer up and let the little devils have a taste of the power of our Chinese Air Force!"
The strong wind still did not weaken, but the moderate rain turned into light rain. The fighter jet was flying a thousand meters above the ground and could still not see the ground clearly.
