As early as after the signing of the ship purchase contract with the British, Gao Yang began to prepare for the purchase of these Swordfish aircraft.

At that time, the method of exclusion was used from a large number of candidate aircraft, and the British origin was finally chosen, which looked ugly, but was most suitable for the biplane swordfish torpedo bomber of the Zhiyuan.

Gao Yang also put a lot of effort into buying these planes. He first bought thirty-two Swordfish and a large number of spare parts from the British Fieldley Aircraft Manufacturing Company in the name of aviation enthusiasts through an empty company!

Even in the modern world, only a handful of companies produce and provide these antiques in the shortest possible time.

The Fieldly Company was curious as to who was buying so much swordfish for what? And it's so urgent! However, Gao Yang was very generous with money, so they had no objections. These planes can't do much anyway.

The contract for the purchase of the production line of the Swordfish aircraft has also been negotiated, and it is waiting for Fieldly to dismantle the old production line and pack it.

The planes and spare parts were first shipped to South America, and after several rounds and various names, they were transported to a certain country in Africa in the name of timber exports. As for the country's timber exports, it doesn't matter what it imports it for.

After being transported to 1925, the outstanding pilots and guard units who had already been selected from the Sixth Division Air Force took these planes to a secret training ground near Taihu Lake to do secret training!

The engineering troops had already made a reinforced concrete take-off and landing training ground on the lake in advance, which was exactly the same size as the deck on the Zhiyuan! The pilots first completed take-off and landing training on this concrete platform.

The handling of the Swordfish is excellent! The stability is very good. Pilots who already had a basic knowledge of flying did not take much time to complete basic flight training. After that, it's the most important actual mine throwing training!

Gao Yang bought all folding wing Swordfish aircraft designed specifically for aircraft carriers. THE MAXIMUM LOAD IS UP TO 3500KG! There were absolutely no problems with hanging a 1423-pound MKIX type 457-mm torpedo!

Swordfish planes can hang not only torpedoes, but also bombs! However, Gao Yang had no plans to use the Swordfish as a bomber.

These Swordfish planes are all temporarily equipped for the Navy to deal with the Japanese, even the Zhiyuan will be changed to a training aircraft carrier after the war against Japan! Gao Yang is waiting for the Yorktown-class aircraft carrier that shares its skills with the Americans! That's a real fleet aircraft carrier!

Although they shared shipbuilding skills with the Americans, they did not share aircraft skills! Even if the Americans use their powerful production capacity to explode the sea of warships, how can they fight with Gao Yang without advanced aircraft? Can you beat the Hellcats of the late World War II with those slow biplanes?

The mission of the Swordfish aircraft will end after the war against Japan, and Gao Yang is ready to package and sell these planes together with the technical arts, in exchange for some money and buy more minerals back to modern time and space.

In the training base, Gao Zhixing, who was only eighteen years old, steadily parked a Swordfish plane numbered 021 on the field airfield. jumped off the plane and stroked his love plane with a smile on his face.

"How? It's much better than the planes you've flown in France, right? Xie Wenda, the squadron leader of the Zhiyuan carrier-based aircraft squadron, stepped forward and asked with a smile.

Gao Zhixing is an excellent pilot that Gao Yang admires very much. He had just graduated from the Army Aviation School in East, France, and had been a trainee in the French Air Force. But. Gao Yang specially invited Zhang Shaoshuai to dinner. When I was drinking, I made a VIP request. Zhang Shaoshuai patted his chest on the spot and agreed!

Soon, a telegram transferred Gao Zhixing back to China and transferred to the Sixth Division Air Force. He departed from France for England and returned home with the Grand Fleet, which was about to return home. On the way, I was already fascinated by the Zhiyuan!

After arriving in the magic capital, he was sent to this secret training ground by special car. Gao Zhixing, who has a wealth of flying experience, just flew a sortie with a Swordfish plane and fell in love with it!

"Excellent plane! Fast speed, strong protection, maneuverability and operability are first-class! It's the best plane I've ever seen! Gao Zhixing patted his wings lightly. Said with an intoxicated face.

"Hmm. An order from the High Governor himself. Let you be a training master! I'd like to leave the first live-fire projection training to you, how about it? Have faith? Xie Wenda said with a serious face.

He didn't make this decision entirely because Gao Yang was optimistic about Gao Zhixing. Gao Zhixing's flying skills really shocked him before. "It's a flying genius!" He had already made that decision while watching from the ground.

"Good!" Gao Zhixing replied with a serious face.

In the afternoon, the wind and the sun were beautiful. The beautiful Taihu Lake is rippling with blue waves. The clear water of the lake laps against the shore rhythmically with the light breeze.

On the field airfield by the lake, Gao Zhixing, his observers, and radio controllers boarded the No. 021 plane under the watchful eyes of all the pilots. An uninsured aviation torpedo was already hung on the belly of the plane!

A few kilometers away from the airport, on the surface of the lake, a target boat painted with a distinct white marker slowly moved forward under the tugboat tow.

Gao Zhixing piloted a Swordfish plane with a torpedo mounted on it and flew smoothly towards the target ship in the sky at an altitude of 800 meters.

"Discover the target, discover the target." The observer reported his direction to Gao Zhixing.

"See, get ready to enter the attack course." Gao Zhixing said calmly.

On the observation boat not far from the target ship, Gao Yang was holding a telescope and watching the swordfish in the sky slowly descend in circles.

"Sir, Gao Zhixing's flying skills are the best in our squadron. He also learned the most about flying and throwing torpedoes, and I think he will be able to complete the task. Xie Wenda, who was standing behind Gao Yang, said loudly.

"Hmm." Gao Yang responded. He had long heard of Gao Zhixing's name, and it was as if he had good skills! It is also appropriate to complete the task successfully!

The Swordfish plane in the sky quickly lowered to an altitude of less than 100 meters, and after a wide turn, it aimed its nose at the target ship and flew straight over.

At this time, the Swordfish plane was still about 1,500 meters away from the target ship, and when it approached the target ship. The altitude of the aircraft also continued to slowly decline. Soon, the plane came to a position less than 800 meters from the target ship. The altitude has also been reduced to a bomb drop altitude of about twenty meters above the water.

"That's it." Xie Wenda, who was holding a telescope, looked at the plane a little anxiously. It's time to drop bombs, why aren't you still there?

"Don't worry! The closer the distance, the higher the accuracy. Gao Yang glanced back at him and said lightly.

"Sir." Xie Wenda hurriedly responded.

After a while, the Swordfish plane was already close to six hundred meters from the target ship. At this time, even Gao Yang began to be a little puzzled, "Something is out of order?" He didn't doubt Gao Zhixing's skills, he was worried about what would be wrong with the plane.

At this time, the Swordfish plane suddenly shook, and the aviation torpedo hanging under the belly of the plane broke away from the hook and plunged straight into the lake!

The plane, which threw away the torpedo, like a nimble swallow, shook its wings slightly and began to turn and climb high. The aircraft maintained a very smooth flight attitude throughout the flight. There was little shaking.

Soon a distinct white spray appeared in the lake, rushing straight towards the target boat. The white track is rapidly approaching the target ship. Soon under the gaze of everyone. A huge wave suddenly rose from the side of the target ship!

The power of hundreds of kilograms of explosives almost tore this target ship apart! The whole boat seemed to suddenly leap out of the water, and then slammed into the lake! Debris is flying, smoke is billowing off! A raging fire spread on the ship.

Soon, the target ship with a large hole in the side began to tilt at a speed visible to the naked eye! The keel has been destroyed! Just a few minutes later. The target ship overturned on its side on the lake. Gradually sinking to the bottom!

"Good!" Gao Yang put down the binoculars and reached out and patted the armrest fiercely!

The people around were stunned by the sheer power. "That's amazing!" Dumbfounded, Xie Wenda muttered: "Even the capital ship may not be able to withstand the blow of a few torpedoes!" ”

Gao Yang turned his head to look at him. He said with a smile: "Now do you understand why I want you to train here secretly?" ”

Xie Wenda came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Yes, sir! This new method of warfare must be kept in the highest degree of secrecy! ”

"If only you understood! It won't take long, though. Soon it's time for you to shine! Gao Yang reached out and patted him on the shoulder, chuckling and said.

"Okay, I'll go back beforehand. You have to train hard here, and you must let all the pilots reach the level of Gao Zhixing as soon as possible! Do you understand? Gao Yang said lightly.

"Yes, sir! Mission completion guaranteed! Xie Wenda hurriedly stood upright, saluted, and said loudly.

Just when the carrier-based aircraft squadron of the Zhiyuan began to conduct more rigorous training on Taihu Lake. Gao Yang came to the area between the east of the Huangpu River and the mouth of the Yangtze River in the magic capital the next morning.

What was once a barren place has now been turned into a huge construction site! The roar of a huge machine soars into the sky! All kinds of excavators, mixers, pile drivers, etc., all work hard.

The officers and men of the Construction Corps, wearing yellow or red plastic hard hats, are working in full swing.

"How's the project going?" Standing by the river, looking at the booming construction site in front of him, Gao Yang asked softly to Wang Dafu, the commander of the construction corps beside him.

"Overseer, the foundations of the chemical plant have been laid. However, it will take some time for the construction of the factory building, and it is not that the brothers are not working hard, but the time is too tight. Now the construction site is all five shifts, and people stop and machines don't stop! Wang Dafu said with a little uneasiness on his stomach.

"Don't worry, install equipment while building a factory! It doesn't matter if the other facilities are late, Rome is not built in a day. Gao Yang said lightly.

Glancing at the pot-bellied Wang Dafu, Gao Yang suddenly stretched out his hand and patted his stomach, and said with a smile, "Have you had a good time this time?" I wasn't that fat when I first met you. ”

Wang Dadu scratched his head embarrassedly and smirked. He was one of the first people to follow Gao Yang. Wang Dafu, who didn't want to go to the battlefield again, chose to build the Corps.

He has done an impressive job in the Construction Corps, and almost all large-scale projects have been carried out by the Construction Corps, and basically he has completed his tasks on time and in accordance with quality. Gao Yang also treated him very favorably. (To be continued......)
