readx; As commander of the Fifth Air Force, he originally said that he should have learned the news and made corresponding arrangements as soon as Shanghai was attacked by the air, but he did not sleep at home last night, but spent the night in a courtyard on the outskirts of Nanjing, so the news was somewhat delayed. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info is now in the midst of a large-scale war in China, and there are battles between China and China almost every day, and if it is not a particularly serious situation, he will not be notified immediately.

After all, the commander of the Fifth Air Force is not the only one in charge of Shanghai, and the air defense tasks throughout the country, including the inherent territory and the newly occupied areas in Central Asia and the north, are all in charge of the Fifth Air Army, and it is impossible for him, as the commander of the Fifth Air Army, to wait for the news of the battle in front every day, plus the battle of the operation did not last long, and it ended in more than an hour. Therefore, the General Headquarters of the Fifth Air Force did not go out of their way to wake An Honghan in the middle of the night.

But after waking up in the morning and learning that Shanghai had been attacked by the air and that a bomb had been dropped, An Honghan was still uneasy.

Although from a military point of view, the bombs dropped by Ben's bombers were not large, and they only landed on the eastern outskirts of the Huangpu River, not in the center of Shanghai, but this still made An Honghan a little worried.

Because Shanghai was bombed, this is no longer a purely military issue, but a political issue.

At the beginning, An Honghan patted his chest and assured Chen Jingyun that Shanghai would never be bombed, and the previous four times he said, "The daytime bombing launched by this bomber was also intercepted, thanks to the successful interception of the previous times, Chen Jingyun just promoted him to general on July 5, and within a few days of his promotion, Shanghai was bombed again, and the bomb was actually dropped, but this still made An Honghan feel a little uneasy.

After waiting in the waiting room for half an hour, An Honghan was invited by Yan Jing Kuang to the door of the president's office!

"President, General An has arrived!" Yan Jing Kuang pushed the door open and said inside.

"Well, come in!" Chen Jingyun inside was still sitting behind the desk, the pen in his hand was annotating on a document, and he put down the pen only after An Honghan came in.

Then he stood up and walked around his desk to the sofa: "The sea was bombed last night?" How's that going? ”

Chen Jingyun also learned the news of the bombing of Shanghai in the morning, but he still didn't know the details of the situation, and he had to wait for An Honghan to report back.

An Honghan first saluted the military salute before saying: "Chairman Hui, in the early hours of last night, he said, 'Ben dispatched 100 bombers to carry out a night attack on our Shanghai, and the 22nd and 23rd Wings of the headquarters took off night fighters in time to intercept the operation, and successfully shot down all the invading enemy planes. ”

When he said this, An Honghan paused and looked at Chen Jingyun's face, and only after seeing that Chen Jingyun's face had not changed, did he continue: "Because it was a night operation, the night fighters and ground air defense artillery units failed to intercept all the incoming planes in time. ”

"The bombed areas were suburbs, not populated and industrial areas, so the casualties were relatively small, and it is known that 13 civilians were killed and 27 injured in the bombed areas!"

After finishing speaking, An Honghan saw that there was no sign of losing his temper, and immediately continued: "No fighter plane was shot down during the battle of our army, but because it was a night battle and the combat airspace was too low, some fighters accidentally fell into the sea, and two other injured fighters crashed during landing. The confirmed pilot casualties are two, and five others are missing, and the second coastal defense fleet has already sent rescue ships to the crash area for search and rescue! ”

After Chen Jingyun listened, he didn't lose his temper as An Honghan imagined, although it was a big deal to say that Shanghai was bombed, but in Chen Jingyun's view, now he is at war with the two sides, and the distance between the two sides is so close, it is impossible for the mainland to be completely not bombed, after all, people say, "I will not stay still and let you fight without fighting back, and the four bombings that Shanghai can continue to maintain and repel the Yue army are already huge achievements, otherwise Chen Jingyun would not have been promoted to An Honghan, In order to recognize and encourage him.

Now that he heard that the bomb did not fall in the urban area and was not an industrial zone, Chen Jingyun had no interest in continuing to ask, and after listening to it, he said: "Well, it is not bad, but it is said that there will definitely be follow-up night bombing over there, and the follow-up air defense work in Shanghai must not be slackened." I don't need to tell you how important Shanghai is, you can know it yourself! ”

Speaking of this, Chen Jingyun suddenly said: "Now the night air defense force in Shanghai and Guangzhou is still weaker, didn't it be said some time ago that the modified F10E fighter has a good night combat effect, you contact the Air Force Equipment Department, and when the time comes, some other F10 fighters will also be modified, so that the F10 fighter has all-weather combat capability as soon as possible!" ”

When An Honghan heard Chen Jingyun say this, he naturally knew in his heart what Chen Jingyun said about the F10E, the F10E is the night fighter model of the F10 fighter, and the fuselage is modified from the F10C. F10 jet fighter is the same as other Chinese fighters, F10 fighter refers to a series, and there are sub-models below, F10A is the basic type of air supremacy, F10B is a two-seat trainer type, F10C is an upgraded model with a FL39-3 jet engine, and F10D is based on F10C to try the swept wing scheme, but later technology and F10 fuselage original design limitations, resulting in the development of this sub-model is not smooth, and it was stopped halfway, Then the Air Force started from scratch to carry out the research and development program of a single-engine, single-seat swept wing aircraft, that is, the F12 fighter in the X12 program. The F10E is a night fighter model, with radar, searchlights, and other equipment needed for night combat, making it a night fighter.

However, An Honghan is still a little worried, because the F10 fighter in the Chinese Air Force has been discontinued early, and the production line has been stopped after less than two years, and more than 1,400 models of various models have been produced, but they have not been shot down by the enemy in recent years, but more than 200 have been lost in training in recent years! The reliability of the early jet aircraft is very poor, and this is the first jet fighter equipped by the Chinese Air Force, the pilots who flew the propeller aircraft in the past are not used to this kind of aircraft that is too fast, and in order to reserve the pilots of the jet fighters, in order to be able to make the F12 fighter jet have enough pilots after large-scale service, so China's existing more than 1,000 F10 fighters are very heavy training tasks even in peacetime.

Moreover, the F10 fighter not only has to train pilots for the Air Force, but the Navy has also cheekily sent a large number of naval flight clouds to entrust training in order to meet the arrival of the jet age.

The frequent flown and the fact that it was new to jet aircraft has led to a high accident rate for F10 fighters. Moreover, too frequent training flights have reduced the service life of the F10 fighter rapidly, the fuselage is okay but the engine is wearing out very quickly, the first FL39-1 jet engine life is less than 100 hours, and it takes at least three groups of six engines to train a pilot.

This situation was only later resolved, in order to compete with Chuzhou Aircraft Company for F11 and F12 engine orders, made great efforts to develop various new technologies, in 1943 its high-power jet engine prototype test successful, although the thrust has not reached the design of 2,000 kilograms, but there are 1,800 kilograms, finalized as LF43-1, mainly used for F12 and F11 fighter flight test work to provide power, and so on in 1944, Föhler Electric has greatly improved the FL43-1 engine, applied a large number of advanced technology, and further improved the processing technology, so that the thrust of the FL43-2 engine has reached 2,000 kilograms. And this engine barely met the requirements of the Air Force, so it was officially equipped with the F12 fighter, and after solving the biggest problem of the engine, the F12 fighter was quickly finalized, and the Air Force had purchased the first batch of 100 F12 basic type before the outbreak of the war, that is, F12A.

Thanks to Föhr Electric's vigorous investment in FL43 series engines, a large number of new technologies have been developed, and some of the most critical basic material technologies and processing technologies can also be applied to other types of jet engines, after all, FL39 and FL43 are axial jet engines, which have great commonalities in the process. Therefore, Föhler Electric has also upgraded and improved the FL39 engine, increasing the thrust to 1,100 kilograms, and most importantly, the engine life has been greatly increased, from 100 hours of FL39-1 to more than 300 hours of FL39-2.

The increase in engine life also reduces the cost of training and using jet aircraft, so that the heavy training process of the F10 fighter does not take long to change the engine.

However, there was a lot of training, but there were still a lot of planes, and more than 200 planes were dropped in a few years.

In fact, the accident rate of jet aircraft in this era is very high, the F10 fighter is already countable, the Air Force is developing many other jet aircraft models, and there are not a few cases where all the test aircraft have fallen out, and the X12 plan has made a total of fifty or sixty test machines, but now these test aircraft have basically fallen out. The Navy is even more miserable, not to mention that some of the unplanned X11 test aircraft were all destroyed when they took off and landed on the test ship, and even many candidate models in the X11 plan were dropped very frequently.

Over the years, the Chinese Navy and Air Force have lost more than 500 jets, including the F10 and many test models, in both test flights and training.

The Navy is firmly determined to continue jet aircraft on board ships, and at the same time, it is also heartbroken, and it is not known how many planes will be dropped to allow carrier-based aviation to fully enter the jet age. Historically, in order to put jet planes on board, the United States lost more than 10,000 planes due to various accidents in the first few years, which is more than the loss in war!
