Chapter 350: Adjust it first

There are many classic aircraft in World War II, German, American, British, Soviet, and even the book has produced many aircraft with superior surnames.

The Zero is the most well-known one. But compared to the surname Neng, the Zero can only be the hegemony in the early stage of World War II, and in the later period, several aircraft of the United States surpassed it. Especially its shortcomings are too obvious. The lack of engine power is its weakness. If it weren't for the super aluminum alloy invented by Sumitomo Metal Industries, I am afraid that there would not be a zero-style brilliance. But even so, its fuel tanks and the protection of the pilot reduced the armor to a minimum, and the fuel tanks caught fire as soon as they were hit. The pilot is basically warped when he is hit. This is also the reason why I did not fight in the later period, and the excellent pilots are all dead, and those novices are not at all the opponents of the American pilots who have grown up in the test of life and death again and again.

It is said that I tapped the potential of the Zero aircraft in advance, resulting in not much room for upgrades in the future. Later, after the armor was installed, even if it was replaced with a small-sized engine with a higher power, the surname energy did not improve much, after all, the lifting power of the small-size engine was also limited. Even some surnames can be lowered, and the gap between them and the American planes that are advancing by leaps and bounds is getting farther and farther.

Just as he was constantly researching new fighters, Meng Xiang built a zero aircraft with Nakajima Sakae 12 engines in advance.

"This plane is very strong, and it is better to fly than Thunderbolt." After the test flight of this aircraft, Le Yiqin jumped off the plane and praised. His body had recovered, and he flew into the blue sky again.

"The surname of this aircraft is also very good, and many actions can be made, but when used as a fighter, it seems to be inferior to Thunderbolt." Liu Cuigang next to him also got off the other plane and came to Feng Shi and said.

And behind them, two phoenix warriors also jumped out of the thunder motor cabin. Just now they did a simulated confrontation experiment.

"Yes, his armor is too weak, and the chances of surviving a hit are slim." After experiencing the test of life and death, both of them felt that the protection of an aircraft was also extremely important. Feng Shi next to him was responsible for organizing and recording the feelings of the two people who flew the test flight. Its surnames can naturally be recorded by subordinate professionals.

Feng Shi specially organized the testing of various aircraft, but the vast majority of the aircraft were not open to the public, and the test pilots were also Feng warriors. But Meng Xiang estimated that the Zero Style was about to be born, so he produced it, ready to disgust himself again.

"Is it time to sue them for plagiarism? Or sell them such planes, directly interrupting their research? After getting a leather bag company and signing a contract with them, there must be a hundred reasons to delay the time or something. Meng Xiang thought of the common method used by the Americans in later generations, when Huaxia developed a thing, the relevant technology products were immediately lifted, and the scale of your development was suppressed with quantity and a little better quality, resulting in your products not getting the maximum return, and sometimes even the cost of development could not be earned. Everyone always says that the quality of domestic products is too poor, but this is a comparison between young children and Chengren. Without room for growth, it is difficult for domestic products to mature.

"What? I have already decided on what kind of new aircraft? "It didn't take long for Meng Xiang to think about it, but it didn't take long for the spies to send new information, and the new fighter plane of the person had been confirmed. Judging by the intelligence, this is the Zero Formula.

"Is this zero formula the production period or the design finalization period?" Meng Xiang only knew that the name of the Zero Type was based on the 39th year of the current year 2600, and the first battle was 40 years, and he always thought that the Zero Type was designed and determined in 39 years. He didn't know that the naming of the Zero was actually based on the date of official production, and the successive failures of the Zero in front of the aircraft of the Vanguard Army also made the Zero born earlier.

"If you're sure, you're sure, it's still a small-sized engine, waiting to be beaten!" Meng Xiang laughed and said unimpressed. There are many surnames in the base who can surpass the Zero type, and at that time, at most those planes will be produced. It's just a matter of cost.

The fighters of the more than Zero are almost all after Pearl Harbor in 41 years, and they only enjoy half-price discounts, which makes the vanguard army have not been equipped, and the Thunderbolt and BF-109 are still in charge. The situation of naval aviation is better, Meng Xiang directly got on the Hellcat, which is very advantageous against the Zero.

At this time, the aircraft was already very advanced, and it provoked the peeps of several countries constantly. This is also one of the reasons why Meng Xiang did not dare to use a better plane in his hands.

Some time ago, a Thunderbolt plane defected. Detected by radar in time. After the warning was ineffective, it was shot down by a warning gun, and the pilot died on the spot. But the shadow of Soviet Russia was involved behind this young pilot, which made Meng Xiang very vigilant. Thunderbolt's prominent surname can already provoke everyone's eyes. Even Hellcat was targeted by others, and three spy cases were solved in a row.

"For the time being, the current structure will be arranged, and the new aircraft will be used as a technical reserve for research, and it will not be installed for the time being." In the end, Meng Xiang still resisted the temptation to face the dazzling variety of aircraft, and continued to maintain the current aircraft establishment that was more than enough for the plane.

"In the future, to strengthen secrecy, the Ministry of Security needs to have a more rigorous deployment." Meng Xiang also instructed.

Planes generally fly back to the Air Finger Center, which has advanced protection measures that absolutely make it impossible for ordinary spies to enter. The planes on the aircraft carriers were also in the heavily guarded military ports. Shipyards provide the same number of docks as the Commander tier. The shipyard also has an advanced alarm system, and there is no problem with defense. The point is that the team of pilots is also mixed, there are many people who come to kill the enemy with blood, and there are also those who come to spy on secrets with various purposes.

It may take several years for planes such as Thunderbolt and Hellcat to fall into the hands of Yu himself, but if they fall into the hands of the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, and Germany, these secrets will be quickly solved. Thunderbolt is okay, but Hellcat's technology is a bit advanced, so the pilots who fly Hellcats on Hainan Airlines are not really vetted and will not let them do it.

Not only is the Air Force stepping up secrecy, but the newly formed Fifth Fleet also needs stronger secrecy measures.

At present, the ships that appear in the Fifth Fleet are already there, and there are not many advanced things. At present, the main task of the Navy is to train more personnel. However, the various factions and navies that have come together are constantly fighting in private, sometimes for the sake of factional disputes, or the sense of secrecy is not strong, and even the secrets of the organization will be leaked. At least, Meng Xiang learned about the detailed intelligence catalog of the Fifth Fleet from Lao Jiang. Just as he bought that information with money, this information was also bought with money.

So far, there are just over 100 naval officers trained by the clones, and if it weren't for a large number of dragon warriors who were sailors, I am afraid that they would not be able to control the Fifth Fleet.

A Nagato-class battleship, a heavy cruiser Ashigara, an aircraft carrier Soryu, plus six Scott destroyers, and a number of auxiliary ships that perform tasks such as landing, supply, and minelaying, as well as at least eight or more combat submarines, and a dozen torpedo boats. It's a scale that's eye-catching. Including Lao Jiang, they all began to think about digging on it.

Even if his own navy is eyeing him from the sidelines, there are always people who only focus on the immediate interests.

The same situation also appeared in the army, and Meng Xiang's eagerness to reorganize the vanguard army was also because the hands of various forces were constantly stretched out, which was already a bit excessive.

The 20,000 clones were scattered into the 400,000 army in addition to all kinds of technicians, administrative personnel, air force and navy personnel, and they were also completely diluted. The original practice of having to have one clone soldier in the squad no longer worked, and only one or two clone soldiers could be kept in a platoon.

Fortunately, many of Meng Xiang's hardcore supporters have emerged in the previous vanguard army, and they have also learned the basic qualities of a soldier from the clones, which has laid the foundation for Meng Xiang's reorganization.

"After Zhangjiakou, you need to take a good rest. Digest and digest these 500,000 people. "For this expansion of the army, Meng Xiang gave an upper limit of 500,000 horses. The production speed of the base is limited, and after the 13 bases are fully staffed, the space for upward development and utilization has become smaller. Supplying an army of 500,000 is already very difficult.

There is no suspense about the conquest of Zhangjiakou.

The 38th Division suddenly accelerated the pace of the attack, and the roar of fighters in the sky made the height of the hill no longer difficult to conquer. The 38th Division no longer advanced as a whole, but only stormed the line of the Pingsuiyuan Railway, and soon penetrated the Xiahuayuan area and approached Xuanhua City.

There are more and more soldiers in Huai'an, and the ME323D giant bird is also constantly transporting equipment. After the last flight to transport soldiers safe and sound, Meng Xiang also began to try to transport soldiers while ensuring safe passage. It can carry 120 soldiers at a time, which speeds up the transport. Coupled with the continuous transportation of more than 60 Junker aunts, Huai'an's vanguard army soon exceeded 5,000 people. They were no longer limited to guarding Huai'an, marching along the Pingsui Railway towards Zhangjiakou, and at this time they had also conquered the county town of Wanquan.

"Are we going to fight, or are we going to evacuate!" Kanji Tsuneoka asked.

At this time, the hope of holding Zhangjiakou and keeping the Pingsui line has been disappointed. And the reinforcements of the Kwantung Army were still stranded by the wind and snow on the grassland, and there was no shadow for a while. He said that his air force was intercepted and killed halfway, and there was no sense of security above his head. To fight a decisive battle, you need to face the artillery that the 38th Division has transported along the railway, as well as the fighters that are constantly circling overhead.

At this time, there were still many devils in the Xiahuayuan area who did not withdraw and still held their positions, but the vanguard army only took the railway line and the banks of the Yanghe River and rushed over. If the devils there don't evacuate in time, they will be slowly wiped out in the lack of ammunition supplies.

But Xuanhua County has no danger to defend, and after the lower garden, it is a smooth road.

"You guys will fight the vanguard army in Zhangjiakou!" The commander of the Mongolian Corps, Lieutenant General Liannuma, ordered. There is still terrain near Zhangjiakou to rely on, and the two troops together have a better chance of winning. "The soldiers in the Lower Garden area continue to hold out, disturbing the transport lanes of the vanguard army."

After the vanguard army opened this passage, they immediately repaired the railway damaged by the devils, and they were not in a hurry, and the mountains on both sides were also heavily guarded.

This order was also issued after discussion between Meng Xiang and Fan Chong and other people from the General Staff. In the battle in the Lower Garden area, the losses of the vanguard army increased sharply, and the battle loss rate with the devils was close to 1 to 2, which was obtained with the support of the mountain division and air support. Between the mountains, the advantage of heavy firepower weapons has been curtailed, which also confirms Meng Xiang's previous fears.

The battle loss rate of 1 to 2 was rare in the Vanguard Army's previous battles. Before, the devils were either underestimated by the enemy, or they were suppressed by the powerful firepower of the vanguard army, and they showed too weakness. But under the same conditions, the ferocity of the devil is highlighted. The 38th Division conquered every mountain was extremely difficult, and next to the corpses of devils all over the ground, you could always see the fallen figures of the soldiers of the Pioneer Army.

This is completely different from the devils on the other side of Huai'an, who were suppressed by machine guns, artillery and aircraft. The devils there are not not fierce, the main thing is that they can't break through the barrage of metal and the flames of explosion. The hastily built fortifications, under the double blow of artillery and aircraft, collapsed before the soldiers of the vanguard army rushed up. And the natural defense system of the lower garden mountain makes it impossible to explode the bomb.

"Seal the main section! Let the devil be a savage in the mountains first! "In order to prevent the devils who remained in the mountains from sabotaging the railway, the vanguard army slowed down the pace of the attack. Instead, the brigade pressed forward step by step. I am strong and the enemy is weak, and there is no hope for the devil's reinforcements for the time being, and steady and steady is the right way.

Meng Xiang was not in a hurry to fight at this time, what he needed was time to adjust. The most urgent need for adjustment is the base.

In previous battles, the base was used as an advance base. Deployed to the front line, logistics subsidies are provided nearby. In the same way, after the forward line is moved forward, the role of some bases is not obvious. And the number of bases is constant and needs to be adjusted.

The Xinxiang sub-base needs to face the dual pressure of the devils in Shanxi and south of the Yellow River, and it is not appropriate to adjust.

The mission of the Hengshui base has been completed and can be transferred to the vicinity of Shijiazhuang. There are only a lot of coal resources in the Jingcheng area near Shijiazhuang, but enough power can be obtained from the adjacent Handan sub-base through the network of the base. With the help of the rich resources of Fengfeng Coal Mine, the Handan sub-base can supply the sub-bases of Shijiazhuang and Xinxiang at the same time.

Most of the bases near Shandong are also not suitable for adjustment, and only the Jinan sub-base can be adjusted near the direct jurisdiction of the main base.

"Where will you be placed next? Internal or external? Meng Xiang hesitated for a moment.
