Chapter 411 (1/2)

A junker-88 was flying low on the sea. Bessel turned his head and looked at the engine on the right again.

It had long stopped rotating and the propeller did not move. In this way, the propeller brought great resistance and slowed down the speed of the aircraft.

Originally, Bessel wanted to fly at high altitude to reduce air resistance in order to return to land. However, due to the long voyage, the oxygen in the oxygen bottle was exhausted, so he had to lower the plane to a low altitude with sufficient air.

Now, every minute of flight is quite long.

There was a rhythmic shaking sound from the plane, and Bessel looked to the left again with calm eyes.

The vibration just came from the engine on the left. Because the engine on the right was destroyed, the engine on the left has been used all the time. The JUMO 211 engine running at full power is now on strike.

The vibration must have been caused by the misfire of several cylinders inside.

I hope the engine can hold on!

Bessel thought as he asked his navigator, ”how far is it from the land?”

”There are thirty kilometers left.” Said the navigator.

Thirty kilometers left! Bessel quickly calculated in his heart that the current speed is 200 kilometers per hour, 30 kilometers, about 10 minutes.

Even if we don't find the airport in the end, as long as we get to the coastline and make a forced landing at sea, we will be saved.

Of course, it's best to protect the bomber.

”Hold on, we will fly back intact.” Bescher said.

Along the way, Bessel has been encouraging his subordinates. His self-confidence infects everyone.

The plane continued to fly low and the altitude was still falling. Bessel tried to hold the lever to prevent his plane from falling and yawing.

Time is measured in seconds.

Finally, land was seen ahead.

In the vast sea, there is nothing, so there is an error in navigation all the way. Now, when you see the land, the navigator immediately compares it with the map and determines its position. It is only 15 kilometers away from the nearest air force base!

”Hold on for a few more minutes and we'll be home.” Bescher said.

Keep going!

The plane is flying unsteadily. At the same time, the vibration of the engine is getting bigger and bigger.

Suddenly, the huge roar disappeared.

Bessel looked to his left. The propeller stopped and the engine had stalled!

A plane that has lost power is like a big stone. It will quickly fall to the ground. Relying on the current height, it can't go back at all!

”Restart.” Bessel said to the co pilot on his other side.

Restart the engine, this is the only option, whether it can be started or not!

Bessel's confidence infected the co pilot. The co pilot pressed each switch, and then turned the air start knob.

”Buzz, buzz.” With a black smoke, the engine started again!

Everyone cheered.
