Chapter 656: Little Pepper, I Like It
Chennault's witty words and straightforward personality suddenly ushered in a round of applause, and the soldiers applauded unconsciously.
"Okay, don't say thank you, but you guys really fought a beautiful battle." Jiang Haoran gave Chennault a thumbs up as he spoke, and he had a good impression of this handsome American guy almost in half an instant.
"Yes, I admit it, but it was also your plan, setting up such a large encirclement for the enemy, and the sudden appearance of so many Mustang fighters, it is simply unimaginable and defenseless for the enemy. The first reason for the enemy's defeat was the rash advance of the enemy, but in the end, what made them unable to defeat the army was that the performance of the Mustang fighter was superior to that of the Japanese Zero, and the Japanese monkeys were simply powerless to fight back. Chennault spoke eloquently.
Jiang Haoran said with a smile: "Well, that's a good summary, but I don't have much time today, while the military commanders of your two flight groups are here, I'll tell you the basic elements of how to deal with the Japanese Zero fighter, right?" ”
Jiang Haoran walked to the desk as he spoke, picked up the pen, and drew on the white paper, explaining the performance and structure of the zero type to the disadvantages and advantages of the zero type.
Finally, it was concluded that although the Japanese Zero aircraft had good overall performance, it had excellent handling performance and a very small turning radius only at low speeds.
But at speeds of up to 371 km/h, it becomes very clumsy, roll control is difficult, and pulling the lever requires a great deal of physical effort.
It is much easier for the Zero to roll to the left and turn than to the right, so in an air battle, it is possible to be prepared in advance.
In air combat, if you are bitten by the Japanese Zero, you can quickly get rid of the attack as long as you make a power dive in the vertical direction and turn on the afterburner. If the plane is still at a speed of 370 km/h, it suddenly turns to the right and rolls aside. The Zero simply can't catch up.
And most importantly, the superior performance of the Zero is achieved at the expense of pilot safety, the Zero does not have any armor to protect the pilot and the fuel tank, and the fuel tank does not have a self-sealing device? Fire extinguishing equipment can easily be hit and start a fire, so you can choose these two key attacks in attack.
Jiang Haoran's understanding of the zero style comes from later generations, so it is not strange to analyze it in detail, but for this era, the zero type has not been available for a long time, Jiang Haoran's explanation is definitely against the sky, the soldiers of the 40th Group Army are better, and they have long been accustomed to Jiang Haoran's foresight, but Chennault obviously can't accept it, his mouth is wide open, and he didn't close the whole process, until the headquarters was empty, he woke up like a dream, and reluctantly looked at the explanation drawings that Jiang Haoran had just drawn, After carefully recalling it, he hurriedly chased it out.
But I didn't know that I had missed a good show of farewell, Jiang Haoran had already taken his entourage to a secret airport in the base by car, and only Chu Zhongtian and a few brigade commanders were sent off.
I have to mention that just now, Ye Zhaofeng was officially appointed as the captain of the flight brigade of the 40th Group Army, Du Tianci was the deputy captain, and he still served as the captain of the teaching team, Tang Zhisheng, the pilot who made miraculous achievements in Jiujiang, was appointed as the captain of the first squadron, and Zhuang Yingying was unexpectedly appointed as the captain of the second squadron. Jiang Haoran's principle of employing people is that the capable come first, and of course it will not target Zhuang Yingying. The squadron leader of the third squadron was an old pilot from the Kunming Aviation School, named Wang Shijie.
When Chennault came out, there were only a few pilot generals left at the entrance of the cave, and Zhuang Yingying was among them, because they were about to escort Jiang Haoran to Myanmar, so they couldn't send Jiang Haoran on the plane again, and before that, Jiang Haoran had to inspect the assembly workshop of the Cobra gunship, so they still had time to rest.
The other pilots were enthusiastically and excitedly discussing Jiang Haoran's personnel appointment just now, but Zhuang Yingying pouted, just now Jiang Haoran asked her if she wanted to go to Burma with him, she just hesitated for two minutes, Jiang Haoran made a decision for her, saying that she had just taken up the post of squadron leader, and it was good to be familiar with the plane and her own duties, and she left without looking back. Although Zhuang Yingying was really reluctant to leave here, she couldn't tolerate Jiang Haoran making the decision for her, and she went so decisively, without a trace of nostalgia, which made her so angry.
As soon as Chennault came out, he found Zhuang Yingying, who was stomping his feet, his eyes were immediately straight, and his time in China was not short, but he had never seen such a beautiful woman, and this woman Chennault vaguely felt a little familiar, hesitated for a few seconds, suddenly remembered where he had seen her, and immediately stepped forward to greet him excitedly, and said: "Hi, beauty, I have seen you, you are the female pilot who just shot down the Japanese Zero plane on the battlefield, right?" Your flying skills are so good, I was next to you at the time, I saw you being bitten by the Japanese plane, and I sweated for you, who knew that you immediately rolled to the right, not only got rid of the entanglement of the enemy plane, but also quickly went around behind it, and a few cannons blew up the Japanese Zero, just like your people, it was really beautiful. ”
Chennault beeped and said a lot, but Zhuang Yingying rolled his eyes at him and shouted: "Who are you, it's your business!" After saying that, she turned around and left, if she usually had a good face, after all, a woman who doesn't want someone to praise her for being beautiful, but this will make Zhuang Yingying angry, where will there be any good face.
"You?????? Hi! Chennault shook his head helplessly, obviously not expecting such a beautiful woman to be a little pepper, and then muttered, "Hehe, little pepper, I like it!" ”
But these words fell into the ears of Tang Zhisheng next to him, and Tang Zhisheng smiled: "Hehe, Colonel Chen, it's useless if you like it, this is our wife." ”
"Oh, buy karma! This is not really good news. Chennault smiled wryly.
Tang Zhisheng smiled knowingly, but did not continue the topic, and said: "Colonel Chen, we are about to escort the general seat to Burma to take office, and by the way, we will carry out a round of air raids on the Japanese army surrounding the expeditionary force, do you want to come and join in the fun?" ”
"Ah, aren't you all gone, too late?" Chennault said.
Tang Zhisheng raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said: "It's time, we still have to check a production workshop, you still have an hour to prepare, and, I dare to promise, you will definitely make this trip worthwhile, you will see an aircraft that is more advanced than the Mustang fighter!" ”
"What, a plane more advanced than the Mustang?" Chennault puffed out his eyes and clutched his chest, really worried that his heart would not be able to take it anymore.
