Chapter 547 Luxurious Equipment for Crew Members

Beside the fire that exuded a pungent smell, Wei Ran, who was already shivering from the cold, warmed himself up while greeting Felix's wife. This insidious bastard burned all the luggage on fire and patted his butt. He took the gold and the wounded and ran away, but did not leave him a complete piece of clothing.

In fact, he had no doubt that even the other party might have done something to the cabin full of corpses. Once he rashly opened the hatch and got in, what awaited him would at least be... A smoking grenade.

However, Weiran had already chosen a target when Felix left for the second time.

Waiting patiently for his body to warm up, Wei Ran took off his leather shoes and filled them with sand. Then he walked far away from the bonfire and took out an oil drum filled with kerosene from the metal book. Pour some into the shoes.

Putting away the oil drum, he held the toe of his leather shoe back to the bonfire as if holding two oil lamps, ignited the sand in one of the leather shoes, and then ran quickly Towards the direction of the transport plane's nose.

Although the transport plane thrust its nose into the waistline of the sand dune when it made an emergency landing, and also smashed the glass of the cockpit, it also indirectly created an additional entrance and exit. The pilot and co-pilot, who have been buried in the cockpit, are the main targets of the search for survival supplies.

Stepping on the soft yellow sand all the way up to the nose of the plane, Wei Ran first sent the steaming leather shoes into the cockpit that was almost filled with yellow sand, and then took another one that was exuding The leather shoes smelled of kerosene and it was difficult to get in.

Now, the two already cold pilots in the cockpit have been buried up to their chests by yellow sand. The face, neck and even chest of the co-pilot are still covered with fine stubble of broken glass. and a metal part that had detached from the aircraft's instrument panel.

On the other hand, the situation of the man who caught the driver seemed to be better. There were no wounds on his upper body, but his neck was at an angle that a living person could not do.

Without any hesitation, Wei Ran put the leather shoes used as lighting further away and immediately dug up the sand around the main driver

.

While he was busy, the driver was finally dug out completely and pushed out along the broken glass window.

Looking at the tragic co-pilot again, Wei Ran hesitated for a moment, then lit another leather shoe that was filled with the smell of kerosene, and continued his work.

After pushing out the second pilot's body with a "pop", Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief. He pinched the toe of his leather shoe and looked for the cockpit through the remaining flames. Useful supplies that may be there.

The harvest is not without success. On the bulkhead behind the main driver, where the yellow sand was originally buried, two fresh coconuts were hung in a net bag. There was even a German meatball on the bottom of the net bag. can.

Throwing the net bag out of the window, Wei Ran subconsciously looked behind the co-pilot. However, there was no coconut hanging here, instead, there wasA long, dusty box fixed to the bulkhead with straps.

"There is this thing on the Junkers 52"

While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already untied the belt used to secure the metal box, and then opened the spring buckle on the box.

When he saw the contents of the box, Wei Ran couldn't help but sigh, "The Air Force is indeed Göring's biological son."

The reason why he made this statement Such a sigh was all because this box contained a double-barreled shotgun that had been disassembled in half.

It is not accurate to say that it is a double-barreled shotgun. Perhaps it should be called a Type 30 Air Force shotgun to be more accurate. Regardless of its name, this one has completely unnecessary engravings. Military weapons are not exactly double-barreled shotguns. Because, in fact, it has three barrels

In addition to the two smoothbore barrels specially designed to fire No. 12 shotshells and single-head bullets of the same caliber, there is also a A rifled barrel that can fire large hunting bullets

In addition, this long metal box is also equipped with 20 No. 12-caliber single-head bullets and 25 bullets of the same caliber. shotshells, and 20 rounds of large 93mm hunting ammunition. In addition, there is a cowhide gun belt that can be used as an ammunition belt and a firearm cleaning bag.

This can be called a luxurious configuration, not to mention the entire World War II, even after the end of World War II, it can be regarded as the only one of Scorpion Baba. After all, equipping pilots with survival weapons has become a requirement of various countries in the post-World War II era. consensus.

But with such a luxurious configuration, yet such a useless and cumbersome pilot survival weapon, probably only Goering, a fool full of old school tricks, could come up with it.

According to the idea of ​​​​this old man who likes art, likes hunting, and even more likes the son of the Air Force, his precious pilots need to have an elegant and multi-functional self-defense when their planes make an emergency landing. Weapons can help them hunt wild animals for food and self-defense after the plane crashes.

But in fact, a problem that could be solved by a 40mm submachine gun was replaced by a metal box that was one size larger than a G34 machine gun by this air force commander who was a World War I pilot.

It is impossible for pilots equipped with it, especially fighter pilots, to survive parachuting with such a big box. Even if they want to take it with them when parachuting, I am afraid they won’t be able to get it from under their butts. Pull it out and the plane will hit the ground long ago.

What's more, in North Africa, where such pilot weapons are given priority, the ground is not actually filled with lions, elephants, giraffes with mouthfuls of oil, or bare Those butt-eating giants are all found in the savannah of South Africa. All there is in North Africa is sand as far as the eye can see.

But even so, just from the fact that this transport aircraft is qualified to be equipped with such weapons that fighter pilots can equip, we know that the pilots flying this route, even if they are not confidants, areIt can definitely be regarded as the elite with priority supply.

After snapping the lid of the metal box shut, Wei Ran threw it out through the window, then bent down and touched the navigator's position.

Here,

He found something really useful, a K3 liquid suspension compass from the British army, as well as a burned flight map and A kerosene lighter apparently used to burn the map.

It is not unusual for the German North African Corps to use the British compass. In this era, whether it is the German army, the US military or even the Soviet Union, the performance of the individual compasses they use is obviously not as good as that of the British army. A liquid suspension compass, and even for this reason, the German army in North Africa launched a military operation specifically to capture the British compass.

In addition, German and Italian soldiers who had never fought in Africa before also snatched the British uniforms. The reason is that the tropical training uniforms made of linen are more comfortable to wear and less prone to heatstroke than the woolen clothing they are equipped with.

Thought that was all.

Rommel also snatched the British man's goggles and used them until the day he left Africa. The goggles almost became his trademark. Also robbed were the British guy's water tanker, the Willys Jeep that Silly Manme lent to the British guy, and even the British guy himself, a lot was robbed in the early stage.

Of course, as the saying goes, the British can't keep paying. At least they got a large number of Italian prisoners who almost overwhelmed them.

After taking a final walk around, I saw that there was nothing worth taking away in the cockpit, and the flames in the shoes were about to burn out. Wei Ran then returned to the original route and left the cockpit.

Glancing at the luggage that was still burning, Weiyan stepped on the nose of the plane and climbed to the top of the dune. He observed carefully until he was sure that there was no other movement around, and then escaped from the top of the dune. down.

Regardless of anything else, he first pulled out a khaki air force uniform from the pilot with a broken neck and put it on together with the green one-piece flight suit.

What is quite interesting is that the boots worn by these two pilots are actually tropical boots with canvas boots instead of short boots worn by pilots. It is from this small detail that they It is almost certain that these two pilots were the first ones to come to fight in North Africa.

Choose a pair of canvas boots of a relatively suitable size and put them on. After some thought, Weiran took off a leather flying cap and flying glasses from a pilot's head and put them on. On the head.

After trying to jump to make sure it would not affect his activities, Wei Ran looked at the flashing fluorescent light on the left and right cuffs of the jumpsuit.

Fixed to the left cuff is a compass with a broken dial. This thing is far less accurate than the heavy British compass he found at the navigator's position, but it is lighter and easier to use. Unfortunately, the impact during the emergency landing has made it useless, and the other pilot sleevesThere is no compass at all for substitution.

While secretly regretting it, he took it off and threw it aside. Wei Ran looked at the flashing fluorescence on the right sleeve and frowned involuntarily.

This is a Hanhart brand flyback chronograph. The 12 numbers on the dial and the two chronograph bezels include a total of five hands of different sizes, all of which are flashing beautifully and dangerously. of fluorescence.

Weiran knows that the beautiful fluorescence on the dial comes from the dangerous radioactive element radium. In later generations, many people collected this kind of old-fashioned watches, but few actually wore them. Even if they did, they would be labeled as "a short-lived ghost who makes his wife happy" by discerning people.

Gently turning the patterned chronograph bezel, with the crisp ratchet turning sound, Wei Ran became more and more confused. This kind of flyback chronograph was not something that pilots could wear themselves. Generally speaking, , they are collected on-site during flight missions and handed in immediately after the mission.

But it is obvious that the crew members of the transport aircraft do not seem to need to use this kind of high-end cargo that is only used by fighter pilots.

So is it that the members of this crew are pampered, or are they poor students with too much stationery? Wei Ran checked the two corpses again, and when he saw that he did not see the pistols that should have been issued at all, I already have a rough guess in my mind.

Compared with the guess itself, he also knew better that this slightly dangerous watch could be as helpful as the heavy compass in his pants pocket.

.

From then on, until the return mission is completed, accurate time control means that you can rest regularly, and you can accurately calculate the footsteps and even changes in physical strength of Felix and others, which can help invisibly. It saves him a lot of energy.

Thinking of this, Wei Ran gritted his teeth and finally did not take off the radioactive watch on his right wrist. Although the danger was a bit dangerous, as long as he was careful not to let the dial touch it at close range. If you are wearing it on your own skin, the impact in a short period of time should not be too big.

In addition, he took out a square box flashlight from the waist of another pilot's corpse and hung it on the left cuff. Only then did Wei Ran open the long aluminum alloy box again, borrowing the light not far away. In the faint light of the campfire, he assembled the barrel and body of the gun. Then he stuffed the corresponding bullets into the three chambers according to the accompanying instructions, fixed the remaining bullets on the gun belt, and hung them diagonally. On the shoulder.

"It's time to find a chance to talk to Felix."

Wei Ran picked up the shotgun and muttered to himself while walking along where Felix and others left He followed up step by step with drag marks. ,Please remember:,Free fastest update No anti-theft No anti-theft
