Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 580 Encounter



When the order to blackout Ottawa was sent to the headquarters, the commander shook his head speechlessly. "It's already dawn when the German bombers fly over, and the blackout is of no use." He also heard that the German bombers flew at an altitude of 12,000 meters, and their most advanced fighter jets were dozens of Hurricane fighter jets, which could not intercept them at all. "Let the people go into the air-raid shelters, and then ask the Americans for help."

The Canadian Prime Minister was at a loss and could only find the U.S. Ambassador for help. "Mr. Ambassador, a German bomber group is flying towards Ottawa, and we need your country's help."

The American ambassador acted very generously and immediately contacted the country. Vice President John Nance Garner, who received the news, called Henry Harry Arnold, the Army's deputy chief of staff in charge of aviation and commander of Army Aviation. "General Arnold, a group of German bombers have penetrated Canadian airspace and they are suspected to be targeting Ottawa."

Henry Harry Arnold, known as the "Father of Modern American Air Force," is a legendary figure in the American military community. In 1944 in the original time and space, Arnold, as an outstanding leader of the Army Aviation, was awarded the Army's five-star general; in 1947, the United States officially separated the Army Aviation from the Army and established the U.S. Air Force. In view of Arnold's landmark contribution to the Air Force, the U.S. government In 1949, he was awarded the title of five-star general of the Air Force.

Whether it is the Army or the Air Force, it is enough to prove one thing: Arnold has made great achievements in the military field.

Arnold had an interesting nickname called "Happy Arnold", but now he couldn't be happier when he heard the news that the German bombers had invaded Canada and were flying to Ottawa.

Ottawa is less than 100 kilometers from the U.S. border. If the Germans really come to bomb Ottawa, they will be able to enter U.S. airspace in just ten minutes! !

This is no small matter. You must know that from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, the mainland of the United States has never been attacked by foreign enemies.

On May 30, 1921, a conflict broke out between blacks and whites in the Tulsa/Greenwood District of Oklahoma. The white supremacist Ku Klux Klan gathered more than a thousand people and the soldiers The black communities were attacked in two ways, by land and air. These people drove cargo transport planes, dropped soil bombs and explosive packets in the Greenwood area, and strafed community residents; this was also the first time in the history of the United States that the mainland suffered an air attack.

But now they are about to break history.

"We have to send aircraft to support Canada immediately." It is best to shoot down all the German bombers over Canada and not allow them to cross the border and enter the United States.

"But..." Seeing Arnold hesitate to speak, the Vice President of Ghana asked doubtfully. "General, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. I will try my best to satisfy you."

Arnold shook his head, feeling a little frustrated. "Our pilots have no experience in night flying." At this time, American pilots were all day pilots, and there were no training for night pilots, let alone night fighters. If these day fighters with no night flying experience are forced to take off and fly in the dark night, who knows what trouble will happen?

"Night flying experience?" The Vice President of Ghana opened his mouth, obviously he had not thought about this. "What should I do?"

Arnold said helplessly. "We can only wait until daybreak." But by daybreak, the German bomber group will fly over Ottawa. Not to mention how Ottawa was bombed, the German bomber group can easily enter the U.S. airspace before its own fighter jets can intercept it. .

With nothing to do, they could only order a P-36 fighter wing to be on standby, ready to take off immediately to meet the enemy at dawn.

A few hours later, after a long flight, the German bomber group finally flew over Ottawa when the sky was dimly lit.

To everyone's surprise, the bomber group did not drop even a single bomb, but made a majestic circle over Ottawa before continuing to fly southeast.

After receiving the report, the Prime Minister couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and even gloated a little. "Haha, now the Yankees are going to suffer."

"Gentlemen, we have crossed the U.S.-Canada border and entered U.S. airspace. Below is the U.S. mainland! We will go down in history as the first flight team to bomb the U.S. mainland!" There was a burst of cheers in the bomber group communication channel. "Long live!" "This is really a moment worth recording!"

Before the cheers died down, the radar man reported. "Discovered a group of US military fighter jets, direction 11 o'clock, altitude approximately 7,000 meters."

The Americans were not very rich in radars and did not deploy radars on these US-Canada borders; it took a while before American fighter pilots visually discovered this bomber group. "Attention all, target found at one o'clock direction." Fighter squadron leader Thompson called while pushing the throttle lever, increasing the power of the engine to the maximum, and the fighter plane began to climb. But he soon realized something was wrong. "Damn, they were flying too high, it looked like over 11,000 meters!"

At this time, the altimeter of Thompson's P-36 fighter jet showed that it had reached 8,500 meters. The climb was becoming more and more difficult, eight thousand six, eight thousand seven, eight thousand eight...

Miller was his good friend in the deputy squadron. Seeing that Thompson was still climbing, he couldn't help but remind him. "Thompson, don't force it. Their flying altitude has exceeded our ceiling! Our fighter jets can't climb that high!" Although he was very reluctant, this was the fact before him.

When the altitude reached more than 9,000 meters, Thompson felt that his plane had become a heavy brick, and the control column seemed to be welded, making it very difficult to pull.

Climbing to 9,300 meters, the fighter jet paused in the air for a few seconds, and then fell downwards without warning.

"Oh, Shet! Stall and spin!" Miller couldn't help shouting when he saw Thompson's plane rolling and falling. "Quickly lift off the accelerator! Push the joystick!"

In the early days of airplanes, there was a mysterious flying phenomenon that made pilots talk about it. Sometimes during flight, the aircraft suddenly loses control, falls and flips sideways, and the control becomes ineffective, resulting in the aircraft crashing and killing everyone; this phenomenon is a stall spin. Not to mention current propeller aircraft, even the third and fourth generations of advanced fighter jets in later generations will encounter this phenomenon from time to time.

When someone encounters a stall spin, they will instinctively pull back on the control stick to pull the aircraft up, but at this time the aircraft does not have the speed to obtain enough lift, and this operation will cause death faster.

And parachuting is impossible at this time. No one can climb out of such a rapidly rolling plane.

Feeling dizzy, Thompson gritted his teeth and lowered the throttle to zero. He clamped the joystick tightly with his legs and pushed the joystick forward with all his strength. After an unknown amount of time, he felt that the aircraft's attitude had stabilized slightly and it had recovered. He lost part of the control; he firmly stepped on the rudder opposite to the direction of rotation and tried to level the plane.

Finally, the plane finally resumed level flight and the correction was corrected!

"God!!" Thompson gasped, his whole body already wet with sweat. The altitude shown on the altimeter is three thousand meters. If it were a few seconds later, he would have a close contact with the earth and turn into meat!
