Chapter 266: Carrier-based aircraft

In the target space-time, the naval flight training base near Taihu Lake has been expanded into a large flight training school.

The pilots, who had gained combat experience in the naval battle against Japan, were undergoing rigorous training with a large number of newly recruited reserve pilots.

These reserve pilots are all enthusiastic young people recruited from various schools. At least have a junior high school degree or above, excellent physical fitness, and basic science knowledge.

When Gao Yang sent the plane brought by the modern time and space here, everyone was boiling.

"It's so beautiful!" Gao Zhixing, who temporarily left the aircraft carrier and came here as the chief instructor, stroked the all-metal fuselage of the wildcat and said with emotion.

"It's a monoplane! The performance must be much better than the wings, right? Sir, I want to do a test flight, is that okay? Xu Kangliang, who is only eighteen years old this year, said with excitement on his face.

Xu Kangliang was originally a student at a normal school, and his ambition was to become a primary school teacher. However, he was deeply attracted by the naval aviation, which had achieved brilliant results in the naval battle of the Yellow Sea.

When the naval aviation went to the school to recruit reserve pilots, Xu Kangliang, who was about to graduate, took the initiative to sign up for the army. After a rigorous written test and physical examination, Xu Kangliang came to this flight training school and became a reserve pilot.

In the same year as Gao Zhixing, he showed extraordinary aviation skills in flight training, and his results were excellent among the students of the same period, ranking among the best. It was unanimously appreciated by all the faculty. Gao Zhixing admired him very much.

Xu Kangliang's biggest characteristic is that he is bold and dares to do any difficult flight maneuvers. And people are smart and learn very quickly.

When I saw the brand-new plane this time, I immediately wanted to fly.

Gao Zhixing stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I will definitely let you fly." However, the test flight has to be done by the instructors, and you are inexperienced. ”

When Xu Kangliang heard this, he immediately hung his head and lay on the plane in frustration and did not let go.

Gao Zhixing said with a smile: "Don't worry. Commander-in-Chief Gao has already given the order. Let's train all the reserve pilots as quickly as possible. After the test flight debugging is over, you will fly. When the time comes, you have to practice until you spit it out. ”

"Hey, hey." Xu Kangliang immediately put on a smiling face, touched the metal body of the wild cat lovingly, and said, "This is so beautiful, I love it to death." That's right, sir. ”

Turning his head to look at Gao Zhixing, he asked aloud, "What's its name?" It's much prettier than swordfish. ”

"Hmm." Gao Zhixing nodded and said, "This aircraft is called Wildcat, and it is an advanced monoplane fighter. I've seen its information, and it's unbelievable that there is such an advanced aircraft in the world! I don't know where Commander-in-Chief Lu Daogao got it. ”

"Sir, tell me about it?" Xu Kangliang said with bright eyes.

Gao Zhixing nodded and said, "According to the information, the wildcat is an all-metal semi-monocoque structure. Stress skins are bonded with rivets. There are two main beams in the middle wing, square wing ends, and the wing profile adopts the NACA23015 series. ”

Coming to the front of the plane, he pointed to the landing gear and continued: "The landing gear needs to rotate a rocker wheel in the cockpit to be retracted under the leading edge of the wings on both sides of the fuselage in a manual way, and the tail wheel is fixed and non-retractable. The pilot's cockpit is airtight and located in the center of the wing, with an observation window on each side of the lower wing. This aircraft has a wing folding device, which can save a lot of space on an aircraft carrier. ”

"What about motivation? What about weapons? Is there flight data? The excited Xu Kangliang continued to ask.

"I don't know the exact type of engine. However, it is an air-cooled engine with a two-stage, two-speed supercharger. The maximum output can reach 1200 hp. The maximum flight speed can reach 533 kilometers per hour, and the maximum ceiling is said to be 12,010 meters. These are all said in the data, and the specific way to fly over will be known only after flying. Gao Zhixing said.

Xu Kangliang's eyes lit up and asked, "So fast?" That's an exaggeration, right? I really want to give it a try. And what about weapons? What weapons are you equipped with? ”

Gao Zhixing smiled and continued: "Six 12.7mm machine guns. Powerful enough. ”

"Where's the ones over there? Tell me about it. Xu Kangliang said excitedly.

"The one with the big belly is the Avenger torpedo bomber, with a double row of star engines. 1700 hp. The maximum speed is 430 km/h, and the maximum range is 1819 km. When carrying torpedoes, 700 km. 1152 km when carrying bombs. The ceiling is 5945 meters, one 7.62 mm machine gun in the wing, one in the back and one in the belly turret, and a crew of three people. ”

Gao Zhixing pointed to the wide wing of the aircraft and said, "The feature is that the use of large wings makes the aircraft easy to pilot. Capable of allowing pilots of all levels to easily take off and land on aircraft carriers. Extremely sturdy and not easily destroyed. Moreover, it is also a folding wing. ”

After speaking, he looked at the other plane, and then said: "The upper anti-wing plane over there is called the SBD "Dreadnought" reconnaissance/dive bomber. 1200 hp star-shaped 9-cylinder air-cooled engine. The maximum speed is 410 km/h. The maximum ceiling can reach 7780 meters. The scariest thing is its endurance, which can fly 3050 kilometers with a full tank of fuel. ”

"What? 3050 km? How can it be! Xu Kangliang shouted in disbelief.

"I can't believe it, but that's exactly what it says. After the test flight, I will know. Gao Zhixing smiled, and then said, "There are 2 12.7mm machine guns and 1 7.7mm machine gun above the nose. 1 pylon for 500 kg bomb in the center line of the belly, 1 pylon for 250 kg bomb on each wing. Reconnaissance bombing can be done! It's a pity that there are no folding wings. ”

"I really can't believe it, is there really such a good plane?" Xu Kangliang looked at the plane on the trailer with stunned eyes, and said stupidly.

Gao Zhixing said with a smile: "After flying, you will know the way." These planes have information, so let's see them for yourself when you study. ”

"That's great!" Xu Kangliang, who was excited, was already smiling.

When the air forces received the aircraft, all the large warships of the Navy also received orders to take turns entering the dock for refitting.

The relevant controllers are also trained intensively under the leadership of the biochemical warriors. Gao Yang hopes that they will be able to master the use and maintenance of the radar as soon as possible.

At the same time, there is good news from Japan. The Japanese have agreed to secretly sell to Gaoyang a line of shells for 343-mm 45 times caliber guns! This made Gao Yang, who was under a full-scale arms blockade by the British, greatly relieved.

Although a large number of shells were already bought for use when the Grand Fleet was purchased before. However, the operational and daily training consumption of seven battleships was too great. After being stuck by the British, there is always a day when it runs out. So the shell production line is a must.

Although it can be bought in modern time and space, it is too cumbersome and very eye-catching. It's more convenient to spend money to get it from the Japanese.

The production line for torpedoes and bombs was provided by Zhao Chengze.

As for the production line of shells for the Nagato and Kongo. The Japanese had already received all the indemnities by the time they paid, and there were many shells.

And there is also equipment for the production of cannon barrels at the Wu Navy Factory! Not only can it provide spare barrels for the Nagato and Kongo, but after a little modification, it can produce a spare barrel for the 343 mm 45 times caliber main gun.

For the time being, this is enough for the Navy. What is needed now is to intensify training to ensure that naval officers and sailors are proficient in the use of new weapons. When they are fully formed, it is time to go to war.

On the Army side, a large-scale reorganization is nearing completion. Gao Yang is ready to wait until everything is completed and immediately start sweeping the country!

Before, we could still take it slowly, divide and win over little by little, and try to achieve peaceful reunification as much as possible. It's just that now I don't know when the space-time passage of the Dao will be cut off, Gao Yang can't wait anymore.

Speak well first. Give benefits, make promises, as long as you are willing to submit, you can say anything. Gao Yang doesn't mind paying more, anyway, it's his own people who get the benefits.

If he doesn't want to, Gao Yang doesn't want to waste more nonsense and time. Give a deadline for the most reluctant, do not wait for the expiration, and push the army directly. The maximum deadline he gave Yu Shuai was also three days.

Luoyang, the capital of God, is the heart of the Central Plains. Needless to say, the millennium history and strategic location are not too much. If Gaoyang wants to continue westward, this is the place where it must pass.

A few years ago, Ludendorff, who was still famous all over the world and was known as China, was the first Chinese to appear in the American "Time". He is considered by the powers of the world to be the most promising jade handsome who dominates the world. At the moment, I was sad in my study.

The blow to Yushuai in the Second Zhibong War can be called devastating! Before the war, Yushuai had the largest number of troops in his direct line, with hundreds of thousands of troops, and he was in Luoyang. Its power affects most of the country. Almost everyone thought that he would defeat Zhang Dashuai and take over the world.

However, at the height of the battle, General Feng stabbed him in the back!

The elite under Yushuai was almost wiped out. The Third Division of the Army, known as the absolute main force of the first army in the world, was almost completely annihilated! Yu Shuai was knocked off his spine.

This war defeated Yushuai, but Zhang Dashuai, who won the victory, was not easy either! The real benefit is Gaoyang, who has risen rapidly with the help of this war!

Yushuai and Zhang Dashuai were both defeated, but Gao Yang took advantage of this good opportunity that no one suppressed to sweep through several provinces and occupy the country's anointing land.

After that, Gao Yang bought the Grand Fleet, went to war with the Japanese and won the battle! Not only did he get great benefits, but he also won the hearts of all the people in the world!

Since then, all of Yushuai's original honors have been put on Gao Yang's body. Gao Yang replaced him as the person with the most hope of unifying the world.

Yu Shuai was still very unconvinced by Gao Yang, thinking that Gao Yang was just taking advantage of the good opportunity of himself and Zhang Huzi to take the position.

However, after Gao Yang defeated the Japanese with a very small loss, Yu Shuai's attitude towards him suddenly changed 180 degrees.

After the end of the war against Japan, Yushuai hoped in his heart that Gao Yang could fulfill his wish to dominate the country instead of himself! He is very optimistic about Gao Yang.

Because Gao Yang's strength is stronger than him, he is more decisive in doing things, and he is completely unaffected by any power. The most important thing is that Gao Yang is far younger than him! (To be continued......)
