readx; Chen Yi said: "At this stage, it is more important to Barnaul's side, I also discussed with Wu Shizhong of the Air Force a few days ago, their Air Force has sent two additional wings to the Fourth Air Force, and at the same time, the First Air Force of the Air Force in China will also carry out strategic bombing support in the Siberian region, so in the follow-up operations, air support is not too worried!" ”

At present, the Chinese Air Force has five major air commands, and the First Air Force Command is responsible for operational matters in North China, Northeast China, and the Korean Peninsula. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 In previous operations against Russia, the First Air Force repeatedly sent strategic bombers to carry out bombing missions against Russia. The Second Air Force Command is mainly responsible for combat missions in East China, South China, Taiwan, and the Indochina Peninsula. The Third Air Force Command is responsible for combat missions in Central Asia, Tibet, and Xinjiang. The Fourth Air Force Command was responsible for the war in Siberia.

As for the Fifth Air Force is a newly established force, the reason is that in the early years of China's space, the original four major air forces were all responsible for the task of serving as a foreign station and also serving as the task of local air defense, but with the extension of the tentacles of China's affairs, these four major air forces have all been full-time to the outside world, in order to strengthen the strength of the local air defense, so the Air Force established the Fifth Air Force.

The Fifth Air Force was set up as a local air defense force from the very beginning, and while it had a large number of ground air defense guns, it was equipped with full-time high-altitude and high-speed interceptor F7 and night fighter F6, and as for the bombers, there was not a single bomber.

In addition to these traditional propeller aircraft, the Fifth Air Force is equipped with the F10 jet fighter, which is still in top secret.

"Now the strength of the Fifth Army is still slightly insufficient, and if they launch the Battle of Barnaul alone, it is estimated that it will still be difficult to defeat the Russian army, and it will not be too late to launch it after the Sixth Army arrives!" Chen Yi said this, looked at the large group of generals present and said: "Although the chairman said that I should wait for a quick victory, but the complexity and difficulties of the war against Russia have exceeded the original expectations of the General Staff. ”

Although all the people present are army generals, all of them are army bosses, but every year feng shui rotates, and now it is Chen Yi's turn to serve as the chief of staff, even Shen Gang, who is leading the army outside, has to sell Chen Yi a face, although a few other people have some opinions, but they all acquiesce in Chen Yi's decision without speaking.

Just when Chen Yi was planning the Battle of Barnaul with a large group of generals in the General Staff, Wu Shizhong was accompanying Chen Jingyun to inspect an air base on the outskirts of Nanjing.

"Although the Fifth Air Force has just been formed, the newly formed is just a headquarters, and the troops under its jurisdiction are all drawn from the original four major air forces, so although this establishment time is short, it will not affect the important task of local air defense!" Wu Shizhong explained to Chen Jingyun.

At this time, Huang Feihang, who was walking on the other side of Chen Jingyun, also walked over: "Chairman, the Sixth Wing is ready, please move to inspect it!" ”

Chen Jingyun nodded: "It's all ready, then go and take a look, and see if this air force ace in your mouth can maintain the same level as before after being reequipped with a jet fighter!" ”

Huang Feihang, as the commander of the Fifth Air Force and the top boss of the Sixth Wing, naturally wanted to say a few words of kindness to his subordinates: "Since the Sixth Wing was equipped with F10 fighters, his subordinates have personally supervised their training, and they have been training hard for more than a year since the first F10 fighter was equipped, which not only trained the first jet fighter wing for our Air Force, but also trained many flight talents for our Air Force, and laid a good foundation for the replacement of jet fighters for the follow-up troops!" ”

Chen Jingyun didn't speak when he listened to his praise, just smiled, but turned around and said to Wu Shizhong: "Now that the F10 fighter has also been put into service, how is the follow-up improvement work, and when will the model of the swept wing be able to come out?" ”

Wu Shizhong knew that Chen Jingyun was very concerned about the development of jet fighters, and did not just put forward a small number of opinions as in the past, and left it alone, Chen Jingyun intervened a lot before and after the jet fighter, from the research and development of F10 fighters, test flights, service to the development of improved models, this is unusual, you must know that Chen Jingyun is very busy, and many new equipment of the military is at most to look at the report, and then don't care, Even when it comes to the design and construction of the Navy's new generation of large armored aircraft carriers, Chen Jingyun only said a few casual words, focusing on the need to be able to take off jet carrier-based aircraft in the future, and then let the Navy group do it, but for this jet fighter, Chen Jingyun is obviously more concerned.

Wu Shizhong said: "The improvement of the F10 fighter has been carried out, the model of the swept wing has also been tested some time ago, but the effect is not ideal, the F10 fighter changed the straight wing to the swept wing, although the high-speed surname can be significantly improved, but its low-speed surname can have a lot of defects, the three prototypes of the modified test flight have crashed successively, for which the three test pilots of the Air Force with the rank of major general sacrificed!" According to the accident investigation of the third department of our Air Force, in addition to the lack of low-speed surname of the swept wing, the problem is also related to the original design of the F10 fighter, the engine thrust of the F10 fighter is insufficient, and the original layout of the engine also greatly affects the change of aerodynamic layout, and now the Air Force has stopped the sweep wing improvement plan of the F10 fighter! ”

When he said this, Wu Shizhong sighed a little: "Those three test pilots are the pilots who can enter the top ten in our Air Force, and there are only more than ten people who can serve as test pilots of jet fighters in our Air Force!" ”

When Chen Jingyun heard Wu Shizhong say that the Air Force had stopped the research on the swept wing, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, everyone knows that it is not easy to develop a new aircraft, and the research and development of a jet fighter is even more difficult, and it is a pity that the three test pilots at the level of major generals have died, but they cannot give up the research of the swept wing because of this, and you must know that this is an important factor related to whether the jet fighter can really become the main force of the Air Force.

Although the current F10 fighter surname can be regarded as okay, the actual combat surname can not greatly surpass the Air Force F5 fighter and the Navy's F8 fighter.

Although the F10 fighter is now a little ahead, it has absolutely not formed a so-called generation gap with other advanced propeller fighters, and this result is unacceptable to Chen Jingyun.

Wu Shizhong has also followed Chen Jingyun for many years, and he also understands Chen Jingyun's temper, seeing that Chen Jingyun frowned a little, he immediately hurriedly explained: "However, although the follow-up improvement of the F10 fighter has stopped, the Air Force has now carried out the research and development of a new generation of swept wing jet fighters. Strive to find the best aerodynamic layout. ”

The Chinese Air Force has developed various aircraft for many years, especially in the late thirties and in 1940 and 1941, it accelerated the testing and research and development of various aerodynamic layouts. The same thing happened not only in China, but also in Germany and the United States, and among the main participating countries, there were only so many main fighters in service, but there were a lot of various test planes, and no one was worse than the other.

"Single-engine swept wing layout?" After hearing this, Chen Jingyun asked, "The mode of air intake in the nose?" ”

Wu Shizhong knew that Chen Jingyun knew a lot about the jet fighters of the Air Force, and he was not surprised that Chen Jingyun asked this, and immediately said: "Among them, there is the layout of the nose air intake, and there is also the plan of belly air intake and both sides of the air intake!" ”

Chen Jingyun didn't know which of the three air intake modes was the best, but he knew that the famous MiG-15 and F86 in later generations were all nose intake modes, and he didn't know why the United States and the Soviet Union both chose similar aerodynamic layouts, but since they both used them, it was impossible to make a mistake if they copied them themselves, so he immediately said: "The focus of future work will be on the nose air intake!" ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Jingyun said again: "Since you use a single engine, the thrust requirements for the engine have also increased, right?" Can the level of domestic aviation technology meet the demand? ”

The reason why the F10 fighter uses twin engines is very simple, that is, China's first-generation jet engine has very little thrust, only more than 900 kilograms, and it takes two to make the plane fly.

Wu Shizhong said: "In the past two years, the Air Force has increased the research and development of jet engines, and has given key support to Fule Electric and Chuzhou Aircraft Company, and their new engine research and development has been underway. ”

The Chinese Air Force's support for jet engines is still very large, coupled with a large number of scheduled orders promised by the Air Force, whether it is Chuzhou Aircraft Company or Fule Electric, they have organized a large number of technical personnel to conduct research and development in order to compete for subsequent jet engine orders, China's jet engine research and development is currently in the forefront of the world, not that China's technical personnel are smarter than other countries, but China attaches more importance to and invests more resources.

Since Wu Shizhong said so, Chen Jingyun no longer said anything, but said: "In this case, the Air Force must still maintain great efforts in the research and development of a new generation of jet fighters, and strive to develop a new generation of single-engine jet fighters as soon as possible to replace the current large number of propeller aircraft in our army." ”

"The current F10 fighter cannot be relaxed, appropriate improvements are still needed, and the amount of equipment can be further increased!" Although the surname of the twin-engine F10 fighter cannot be compared with the F86 and MiG-15 in Chen Jingyun's memory, Chen Jingyun feels that it should be no worse than the ME262 developed in German history.

Although Germany's Hitler used the ME262 as a bomber, Chen Jingyun would not make such a low-level mistake, and the current F10 fighter of the Chinese Air Force is out of the need for secrecy, and the surname of the F10 fighter can be used as an interceptor, so it is good to deploy it as an air defense fighter on the mainland.

F10 fighter, using a single-seat twin-engine flat straight wing layout, high-altitude surname can be excellent at the same time, the speed is very fast, high-altitude high-speed surname can be much stronger than the Chinese Air Force's original professional air defense fighter F7, plus the range of F10 fighter is also very limited, but only a thousand kilometers of range, so it is very suitable for use as a local air defense interceptor.
