Chapter 667 (1/2)
The 910 horsepower ”land God” - Ronald 14n-11 was started. A black smoke came out of the exhaust pipe. After a few seconds, the engine worked normally.
In the cockpit, Bruce looked carefully at the instruments in front of him. In Finland at high latitude, he hoped that all the data of the engine were normal.
From the outside, the most special part of this aircraft is the nose. In order to balance the torque, the engine tilts about 2.5 degrees to the left, creating a strange crooked neck.
This ugly fighter is not as good as the German fighter, and even better than the American fighter, but now Bruce has no choice.
After he came to Finland, a succession of fighter planes and pilots were transported. But until now, as the head of the air team of the Finnish volunteer army, Bruce's men are almost all foreigners, without a pure Germanic.
Recently, the situation in Finland has become more and more tense. With the Soviet Union constantly increasing its troops to Leningrad and gathering towards the Finnish border, it can be imagined that the battle will almost be triggered.
Therefore, combat readiness duty is required every day.
Combat readiness duty is divided into different levels. It is one situation for pilots to stay in the waiting room. Sitting in the cabin is another situation. Now, it is a more extreme situation. Most pilots sit in the cabin and wait. At the same time, aircraft will take turns to take off and cruise along the border of Finland.
This came in order. Even if Bruce was the commander-in-chief, he took part in the rotation, and now it was his turn to take off and patrol.
Just as he started the engine and was ready to take off for patrol, a sharp alarm sounded in the airport.
The war began!
Hearing the alarm, in an instant, everyone was in the cabin and quickly started their engine. Bruce, who aimed at the runway, was even more responsible. He pushed the throttle lever, and the engine output the maximum power of 910 horsepower. The variable pitch propeller was rotating rapidly. The French fighter pulled up after taxiing hundreds of meters on the runway.
”Attention, Soviet bomber fleet found. In airspace 3, it is flying in the direction of 270. ” In the earphone, the sound of the tower has been heard, which was found by the front-line radar station.
Bombers! This large-scale bombing, of course, was the prelude to the war. The Soviets finally couldn't help but start their invasion of Finland!
It seems to be inspired by the German Blitz. Unlike the Soviet Finnish war in history, the Soviets gathered a large number of bombers at the beginning of the war and wanted to blow up Finland at once. It seems that all kinds of military bases, outposts, barracks, ammunition depots, air force, etc. will be solved by this bombing!
More than 200 bombers are flying towards Finland!
After Bruce led the team to Finland, he discussed with the Finnish air force and divided their air defense areas. The North belongs to the Finnish air force and the South belongs to the voluntary air force.
After all, Finns are more resistant to the cold, the more north, the colder, and the main cities of Finland are also in the south, which is equivalent to volunteer airmen, who need to protect the sky of Finland.
The airport is not far from the boundary line. After all, the range of fighter planes in this era is not far. There are only a few abnormal people like fw190 in Germany.
Not long after liftoff, Bruce saw the fleet of Soviet planes flying opposite, dozens of DB-3 bombers, flying smoothly on the route.
