readx; Now if the Americans want to finish playing with the beveled deck, they naturally cannot expect the Chinese to take the initiative to come and teach them hand-in-hand, they can only improve the application of the beveled deck through large-scale experiments and research. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In any case, the Americans have now finally begun to study and prepare for the application of beveled decks on a large scale, but to be honest, in the era of propellers, the increase in the combat effectiveness of beveled decks for aircraft carriers was limited.

Because in the propeller era, there are only two biggest factors that affect the combat effectiveness of aircraft carriers, the first is how many aircraft can be released in the first round of attacks. The second is the preparation time required before the aircraft is dispatched. The beveled deck has no noticeable lifting effect on either of these points.

In fact, the biggest reason why Chen Jingyun and Admiral Guan Shijie are so keen on beveled decks is to use jet aircraft on existing aircraft carriers.

However, the Americans have not yet realized this, because let alone the Americans, now even the Chinese Navy has not yet come up with a carrier-based jet fighter that can fight on the ship, I have to say that the Chinese Navy invested in jet aircraft too early, and began to do it in 1940, and the jet aircraft was just starting, so that the Chinese Navy wasted a lot of resources prematurely and even delayed the research and development of propeller carrier-based fighters. As a result, the Chinese Navy was forced to launch the X15 program only in 1944, preparing to develop a follow-up propeller fighter for the F8G fighter to replace the aircraft.

The potential confrontation between China and the United States had already appeared when the two sides attacked the Philippines respectively, and after the US military recovered Guam and Saipan, it reappeared, and after the United States recovered this island, it quickly established a large-scale air base and a naval base here, and the naval base was used to blockade the transportation and supply lines along the Central Pacific to the South Pacific. The sea transportation routes, which were supposed to be the most important, led to the necessity of taking the risk of establishing sea transportation routes in the Central Pacific and the South Pacific theater.

Now that the Americans have blocked it in this way, it can be said that it has completely cut off the maritime connection between the mainland and the South Pacific region.

In addition, the Americans used this base to mobilize B29 bombers with a large range, and they were ready to participate in the bombing operation against the homeland.

Naturally, the Chinese side has no opinion that the Americans are going to bomb their homeland, and they will let them bomb their homeland, but in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, the strategic bomber units of the two countries will still make contact in advance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

None of this was anything for the months of August and September 1944, when China was already preparing intensively to attack its own homeland.

Before attacking the mainland, in order to completely crush the confidence of the Chinese strategic bomber force, on the one hand, the Chinese strategic bomber force actively launched strategic bombing, turning almost the entire city into ruins, Chen Jingyun finally made up his mind to give him an unforgettable gift, that is, a nuclear bomb!

On September 26, 1944, the weather in Vladivostok was still slightly hot, and the 27th Wing in Vladivostok Air Base was a little different from the past.

The Air Force Special Service Regiment, officially known as the Chinese Air Force Special Service Regiment, is also the only ground unit of the Chinese Air Force except for four parachute regiments. Due to the dispute between the three branches of the navy, the army, and the air force, the army has always been seriously opposed to the air force or navy having a large number of ground forces, and the navy has been fighting for so many years, and now there are only five marine divisions, and when fighting in conjunction with the army, they still have to accept the command of the army, for example, in the Ryukyu Campaign, the Philippine Campaign, and many landing campaigns in the Indonesian archipelago, the command of the four marine divisions that the navy has invested in is controlled by the army generals.

Only the small-scale landing operations launched by some marine divisions alone were personally commanded by the navy, the navy was like this, and the air force was naturally similar, the air force had been trying to establish ground forces for many years, and at first it took the path of paratroopers, but unlike Western countries that attach great importance to paratroopers, Chen Jingyun did not attach too much importance to paratroopers, and the army restricted the development of ground forces of the air force everywhere, and even directly refused to provide army standard equipment to the air force. As a result, the Air Force had to start from scratch to develop some equipment for the ground forces. After the establishment of four parachute regiments, the Chinese Air Force set up a special service regiment on the grounds of ground service, which was mainly responsible for non-routine operations, such as security, infiltrating into enemy-occupied areas to search and rescue pilots.

In the words that became popular in later generations, this is a special forces!

Of course, this special forces is far from being as awesome as those special forces described in later novels or film and television dramas, and when it comes to special forces, it seems to be bullish and coaxing, and now this air force special service regiment is more training intensive, and the equipment is also more suitable for unconventional operations, and can infiltrate enemy-occupied areas for sabotage and search and rescue tasks, far from reaching the super ability of two or three special forces to be able to kill 10,000 enemies.

This Air Force Special Service Regiment has five combat brigades, each assigned to different areas, and at present, its biggest task is to go to the enemy-occupied areas to search for and rescue those parachute pilots, and it is also responsible for defending some important people and things.

Take a nuclear bomb, for example!

In the Vladivostok Air Base, Colonel An Qingyu, the chief of the three major units of the Air Force Special Service Regiment, stood in the conference room, and the four air force generals in the conference room were the lowest-ranking among these soldiers. However, in addition to this group of air force officers, there were also five or six middle-aged and elderly people in suits, who had no military rank but sat in this group of generals and talked together.

Although Colonel An Qingyu had long known that what he had escorted all the way from the northwest was extraordinary, he did not expect that the super bomb could be said to destroy an entire city.

But the old man in the black suit said very clearly: "This bomb is powerful enough to completely destroy the entire city, you must doubt or worry about this, well, don't ask too much, just do what we say!" ”

General Cheng Lingyong, commander of the First Air Force next to him, said: "Since Academician Lin has said so, we naturally fully cooperate!" ”

Academician Na Lin nodded at this time: "Since there is no problem, then let's start!" ”

Immediately, he said to a person next to him who was also wearing a suit: "Xiao Chen, after you go down and let people prepare, we will start assembling it tonight!" ”

After the meeting was dispersed, Academician Lin and several other people he brought walked out, leaving General Cheng Lingyong and several other air force generals, these people shook their heads and smiled bitterly a few times, and then someone muttered: "I don't know what the top thinks, how could such a person be sent, and what kind of thing did they bring?" How is it possible to destroy a city, and it can be done by one. To completely destroy a city, even our B16 bombers may not be able to do it by sending thousands of sorties! ”

Cheng Lingyong said: "It's really evil enough, but since the order has been issued from above, and the chairman has personally sent instructions asking us to cooperate with the work of Academician Lin and his party, then we will fully cooperate!" ”

Although Cheng Lingyong is already an air force general and ranks as commander of China's First Air Force, and in terms of status, he can barely rank among the top 10 in the Chinese Air Force, but with his qualifications, he still cannot get in touch with China's most top-secret nuclear bomb project, and he received Chen Jingyun's personal instructions yesterday, Chen Jingyun said that he would let him cooperate with the work of Academician Lin and others throughout the whole process, and at that time he realized that the matter was important that he personally rushed from Shenyang to the work of the subordinate units under Vladivostok.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Colonel An Qingyu, and wanted to ask the captain of the three major teams of the task force who escorted Academician Lin and others all the way, but in the end he still couldn't speak, he knew very well that in the face of the secrecy system, his official authority was useless, and although the colonel in front of him said that he had escorted Academician Lin all the way, he did not say that he had come into contact with anything too secret.

From beginning to end, the personnel of the nuclear bomb project were personally responsible for the transportation of the nuclear bomb, and his three major teams were only responsible for security work, and a large number of personnel from the Military Investigation Bureau were responsible for the core security work along the way. Therefore, An Qingyu only knew that what he was responsible for escorting along the way was very important, and it was some kind of super bomb or something, but the specific situation was still unclear. Therefore, even if Cheng Lingyong asked him, he couldn't ask anything.

Besides, although An Qingyu's military rank is much lower than Cheng Lingyong's, the two of them have no subordinate relationship, although Cheng Lingyong is the commander of the First Air Army, but he can't control An Qingyu's head. An Qingyu's Air Force Special Service Regiment is a unit directly under the Air Force General Staff, and Cheng Lingyong can not command them.

The General Staff of the Air Force is also the actual command department of the Air Force, and it is a department with the same surname as the Naval Operations Department, and is mainly responsible for the command of the Air Force units in wartime.

Cheng Lingyong, An Qingyu, and a group of other members of the Air Force were not very clear about the specific purpose of Academician Lin and the others coming this time, but they only learned from the meeting just now that they had come this time to carry out a special bombing, and the planes used in the bombing were in charge of the B16 bombers of the 27th Air Force Wing, but the bombs they carried were specially transported from the far northwest, and there were only three of them.

Cheng Lingyong couldn't understand how it was possible to destroy a city with those three bombs?

It doesn't matter if Cheng Lingyong can't understand it, even if Cheng Lingyong has entered the top level of the Air Force, he has not yet reached the level where he can fully understand and have access to top-secret information such as the nuclear bomb project. The news that China is developing nuclear bombs and has successfully developed and produced more than 10 nuclear bombs will definitely not have more than 30 people who have a comprehensive understanding of this, and most of them are scientists directly involved in the nuclear bomb project, and there are actually less than 10 people in the military and political circles, and Chen Jingyun, Ma Yinchu, Shen Gang, Guan Shijie, Wu Shizhong, and other bigwigs have a comprehensive understanding of these things.

Of course, although some high-level personnel are not able to fully understand the news of the nuclear bomb project, they also know some one-sided information, but they are all vague, and most of them also know that the nuclear bomb project is a super top-secret project, and they will not talk about it at all, and dare not ask others about these things.

Cheng Lingyong also didn't plan to ask too much this time, some things would naturally be known when he could know, but it was not yet this time.
