"Buzz ......" is a new aircraft equipped with two 18-cylinder Hengshan 132 1850 hp engines, two powerful engines bring it faster speed, larger load.

With a roar, the plane, known as the "Tiger Moth", roared into the sky!

Tu Menghu squinted at the introduction of this aircraft and remained silent. The aircraft uses aluminum alloy for the fuselage skeleton and key parts, and in order to reduce weight, holes are drilled in the aluminum alloy components to reduce weight.

The fuselage and skin are bonded with wood, and it took more than a year to replace hundreds of formulas of glue before I found the ancestral secret recipe from an old Huang family in Yunnan, and the secret recipe of the hundreds of years of lacquer craftsmen is really unusual.

In fact, the paint of this secret recipe is not only used for bonding, but also on the fuselage. Dozens of workers spend 10 days carefully polishing and lacquering, trying to minimize resistance.

Tu Menghu looked at the introduction and found that because the engine was much stronger than the Mosquito in history, it had advantages in climb speed and bomb load, but the huge windward side of the air-cooled engine caused the maximum speed to be slightly inferior to the Mosquito in history.

And after a closer look, you can still find the difference between this aircraft and the mosquito. For example, although there are 2 engines, the strength of the fuselage is very average due to the drilled skeleton girder and the wooden fuselage, so the survivability after a bullet is poor.

Jia Xiaohou and the air force test pilots clearly pointed out in their assessment instructions that once they are used as fighters, they should not engage in long-term combat with enemy fighters, and that attacks on enemy bombers should be mainly interspersed with assaults for a short period of time, and it is imperative to avoid biting the tail and barring fire for a long time.

"I have already read the report of the test pilot. Commander, I asked for special exercises and training for the entire type of fighter. Chen Haihua, commander-in-chief of the Air Force of the National Defense Force, also came to the scene, and the Air Force is the main user, so they naturally want to see what kind of product this aircraft is.

In all fairness, Chen Haihua was not optimistic about the Tiger Moth plan at first, and in his opinion the wooden plane was outdated. Poor survivability is a hard injury, and aluminum is lighter than wood.

But after seeing the tiger moth, Chen Haihua felt that his concept had been subverted. As an old Air Force, he naturally saw the advantages of the Tiger Moth at a glance: strong horsepower, light weight, and large load capacity!

During the test flight, Chen Haihua followed and observed all the way. The take-off weight has increased from the net weight of the empty aircraft of 6.4 tons to the final ballast of 2.5 tons, that is, the total weight is nearly nine tons, but the speed is still unabated!

This shocked Chen Haihua very much. And at the same time. The maximum ceiling of 8,000 to 10,000 meters, the range of 1,200 kilometers, and the range of up to 1,800 kilometers after loading the auxiliary fuel tank also made Chen Haihua very palpitated!

This completely allowed the Wehrmacht to take off from the vicinity of the occupied area of the 38th parallel and then bomb the Japanese mainland directly! Even if the Wehrmacht takes the whole of Korea, then it will not be a problem to bomb Tokyo!

The cost of this aircraft is much lower than that of aluminum aircraft, and the tree Paulownia grows all over China. The northern boundary is Liaonan, the imperial capital, and the first line of Yan'an. South to Guangdong, Guangxi, east from Taiwan, west to Yunnan, Guichuan west, especially in eastern Henan, southwest Shandong as the central production area.

There is no shortage of manpower in the harvesting area, due to the invasion and harvesting of the Japanese army, which has led to the large-scale desolation of cultivated land and the flight of countless people. Originally, there were also a large number of loggers in the three eastern provinces, which could ensure the harvesting of timber.

In terms of manufacturing, Chen Haihua is the least worried, not to mention the modern wood cutting that has already begun in the three eastern provinces, that is, the carpenters who have fled are not an exaggeration to describe it as a sea of people.

These people, once organized, are afraid of the problem of productivity?! Chen Haihua couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this fighter was naturally born for China! Born for the Wehrmacht!

"Commander, I think we should speed up the research and development. And organize confrontation drills as soon as possible. At the same time, specialized fighter and bomber pilots are trained......" Chen Haihua gave 17 or 8 suggestions in one breath. Even these suggestions were written down by him in a small notebook.

This made Tu Menghu laugh dumbly, and this old Chen was still scoffing when he talked to him about the tiger moth. If it was in the way of the commander-in-chief's face, this old guy would probably roll his eyes on the spot.

But now he is the most enthusiastic, and it is estimated that he did not come up with these suggestions alone. Looking at the staff officers around him who were staring at the tiger head moth's eyes, Tu Menghu knew that the air force commander must have gone back to work together.

"Hmm. This matter will be left to you and Chief Engineer Jia to coordinate. Tu Menghu smiled and said, "Chief Engineer Jia is the person in charge of design and manufacturing, and you are the main user. It's good that you both coordinate, I don't care too much. ”

After speaking, Tu Menghu raised his binoculars and watched the ongoing flight test. This time it was a pilot from the Air Force who did a special test. In the air, the test pilot, regardless of his life, began to conduct various extreme tests.

Rapid pull-up, dive, flight roll...... A series of actions that have a great test of the quality of the aircraft are constantly being made, and each action is a test of the quality of the tiger moth.

This is even a threat to the pilot's life, but in order for his comrades to be able to use a better aircraft in the future, the test pilot still insists on testing the aircraft with larger movements.

After more than an hour of rigorous testing, the plane finally landed slowly from the sky. Eventually, they landed at the airport in the glide.

When the young test pilot stepped off the plane, Tu Menghu was suddenly stunned. He knew this person, this was Chen Haihua's son Chen Weihua! Originally, Chen Weihua was not called this name, but this name was changed by Chen Haihua, who was extremely sad and indignant after 918.

He hopes that his son will be able to soar under this blue sky and defend this land in the future. But Tu Menghu didn't expect Chen Haihua to let his son engage in the high-risk job of a test pilot!

"What is not to be done?! Can't he be a test pilot just because he's my son?! Chen Haihua seemed to see what Tu Menghu was thinking.

"Whose son is not a son?! Commander-in-chief, you are much stronger than Wei Hua, aren't you still fighting on the battlefield?! If something really happened to Wei Hua because of the test machine, I would only be proud of him and not sigh for him! ”

While speaking, Chen Weihua had already trotted in front of Chen Haihua and Tu Menghu. saw him meticulously salute and said loudly to the two.

"Chen Weihua, the No. 5 test pilot of the First Test Flight Brigade of the Air Force of the Chinese National Defense Forces, reports to the commander! Please instruct! ”

"Take a break! Report your test flight results! Chen Haihua didn't look at his son at all, he replied with a military salute and a stereotypical face without a smile.

Perhaps, if you change a test pilot, Chen Haihua will walk down with a smile and pat the test pilot on the shoulder and say hard work. And when it comes to Chen Weihua, Chen Haihua has always been business-like. I don't talk about the slightest affection.

As early as before enlisting in the army, Chen Haihua grabbed his son and said: It's okay to come in, explain it first. Active?! Half of the deduction will be counted. Ever there?! Double the penalty. I can't stand it, get out of here, don't stain this Wehrmacht uniform! The glory of those Wehrmacht soldiers lying in the martyrs' cemetery cannot be tarnished by a single star!!

"Yes! After a total of 84 test flights of 20 long-distance flights, 20 loads, 30 high-altitude lifts, and 14 circling tests, it has been confirmed that the 'Tiger Moth' has reached the long-distance bombing and combat ...... of our Air Force and other needs, its body structure is not easy to damage! A combat drill test is recommended! Report complete! ”

Tu Mengben was stunned again, he didn't expect Chen Haihua to unceremoniously let his own son conduct a test flight of this new aircraft eighty-four times in a row.

It can be said that every take-off is very likely to make Chen Weihua unable to get down. But Chen Haihua still did this, and Tu Menghu didn't speak. He was still silent, because he saw that Chen Weihua's current military rank was still only lieutenant.

There is no doubt that if he had such skills in the combat unit, he would have been promoted to lieutenant colonel or even colonel long ago. But Chen Weihua is still only a lieutenant.

Even in the test flight team, Chen Weihua's military rank is still in the middle and lower. And the new test pilot who has just arrived is on the same level.

"When you go back, submit your test flight report." Chen Haihua still didn't have a good face, and returned a military salute to Chen Weihua. After a pause, he said, "By the way, your request to be transferred to the front line has already come down." Go to the front, don't disgrace me. Go ahead! ”

Chen Weihua's face finally showed a hint of a smile, and he stood up and said loudly. Then he turned around in a standard military posture and left the rostrum.

"It's not the first time Wei Hua has gone to the front line, what are you worried about?!" Tu Menghu smiled at Chen Haihua and said, "Didn't he shoot down five Japanese fighters last time?!" These are all ace pilots, Uncle Chen, what else do you have to worry about?! ”

"Commander-in-Chief, you don't know. This kid has a little bit of a grade, and I transferred him back to be a test pilot just to hone his temperament. Chen Haihua showed a trace of his father's tenderness at this time: "Besides, there was no war on the front line at that time. What did he stay there for?! It's better to come back and test fly. Now it's about to be a decisive battle with the devil, so I let him go back. ”

"I just hope that this kid won't lose this old face of mine!"

In Shanghai, the new commander-in-chief of China's dispatch army, Shunroku Hatata, slowly stepped off the plane. He clutched his command knife tightly and looked at the officers who had come to greet him with a calm face.

Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando, acting commander of the Chinese Dispatch Army, stepped forward several times, bowed deeply to Shunroku Hata, and said: "Welcome to His Excellency the General, Ando and all the troops dispatched by China are very honored!" ”

Shunroku Hata nodded, walked directly to the car without saying anything. Toshikichi Ando followed quietly, and only after getting Shunroku Hata into the car did he turn around and board his car.
