Chapter 669: The Tragic Japanese Pioneer Regiment
As one of the main persons in charge of the No. 1 project, Comrade Fang Zheng saw Zhang Yunfei's praise again and again, and his heart was also happy, and Fang Zheng accompanied Zhang Yunfei and took a closer look at the armed helicopter. ,!
Many engineers and technicians next to him, even those blonde and blue-eyed foreigners, were all overjoyed when they heard Commander-in-Chief Zhang's praise, as if they had received great encouragement.
Fang Zheng saw that Zhang Yunfei had basically finished reading this armed helicopter, and Fang Zheng immediately said to a middle-aged engineer next to him: "Old Qian, you can introduce to you the performance parameters of this armed helicopter." β
Lao Qian is one of the main engineers who developed this armed helicopter, and he is naturally very familiar with this armed helicopter.
Seeing that Fang Zheng called his name, Lao Qian was a little excited, but in addition to being excited, he immediately entered the state and began to introduce the chiefs in detail.
"Hello Commander-in-Chief! Hello Chiefs! It is a great honor to introduce to you the first helicopter gunship of our 36th Group Army, which was completed under the guidance of the commander-in-chief, and basically inherited the small, light, flexible, and powerful survivability and attack power required by the commander-in-chief. β
"This helicopter gunship, with a main wing diameter of 13.58 meters and a maximum weight of 3,552 kilograms, uses two piston engines, with a single engine power of 285 hp, a cruising speed of 160 km / h, a range of 320 km and a ceiling of 2,500 meters. It can take off and land vertically, hover, fly forward, backward, sideways, and descend with unpowered rotation."
"In addition. The plane was equipped with 8 to 10 mm thick alloy protective armor in many places, and the windows were also bulletproof glass, which could withstand the strafing of large-caliber machine guns, and in terms of weapons, in addition to a 12.7 mm machine gun with 1,500 rounds of ammunition, a total of 16 rockets were suspended on the short wings on both sides of the aircraft, eight on each side. β
"A 12.7 mm machine gun that can deal with soft targets at a range of 1000 meters, rockets from helicopters. It can deal with ground armored targets such as enemy tanks, armored vehicles, and even bunkers. β
β¦β¦
Engineer Lao Qian, slowly introduced, gave you a detailed introduction to the performance of this armed helicopter, everyone is a military expert, after listening to Lao Qian's introduction, everyone's eyes are bright.
If that's the case, this gunship is too powerful.
Seeing everyone's eyes shining, Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly. Immediately waved his hand, "Immediately carry out flight test and fire test." β
"Okay. Chiefs, please stand a little farther away. β
Zhang Yunfei took several high-ranking members of the 36th Group Army and retreated twenty to thirty meters back, looking at the helicopter with great interest.
Seeing that everyone was dispersed, two pilot comrades, one in front and one behind, entered the helicopter, and this helicopter was piloted and controlled by two pilots, one in front and one behind, one was responsible for the piloting of the helicopter, and the other was responsible for the control of various weapons.
After the two of them went in. The helicopter began to start, and the huge rotors on the top of the plane slowly rotated, and turned faster and faster, gradually producing a strong air current, and everyone could feel a strong air flow coming from dozens of meters away.
"It's flying, everyone. Fly! β
In the eyes of everyone's surprise and expectation, the gunship gradually left the ground and slowly rose. And the higher it flies, it gradually rises to more than 100 meters in the air.
Next, this helicopter completed a lot of actions in the air, such as hovering, flying forward, backward, sideways and unpowered rotation and descending, etc., which made everyone's eyes shine.
It lasted about half an hour, and the helicopter gunship completed all the test actions, at this time, Fang Zheng said: "Commander-in-chief, comrades, the next step is to conduct a fire test, everyone climb the tower of the airport, see it clearly." β
Immediately, everyone climbed the tower of the airport, held binoculars, and looked into the distance with great interest.
In the distance, several previously captured little devil dilapidated tanks have been parked, as well as a number of targets deployed, and next, the helicopter gunship will conduct a firing test.
In everyone's eyes, this helicopter was first a 12.7 mm machine gun shooting test, as the muzzle of the machine gun spewed flames, a large number of bullets sprayed out, one after another hit the target arranged in the distance, the accuracy is very high, the firepower is also very fierce.
What was eye-opening was the launch of rockets from the plane.
This helicopter, about 100 meters away from those tanks, hovered in the air for several tens of meters, and fired several rockets, which hit the target one after another.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
After a few explosions, the tanks suddenly turned into piles of iron, and those tanks, under the blow of rocket artillery, were almost like papier-mΓ’chΓ©.
Destroying these tanks, the helicopter flew lightly on one side, and immediately flew away, circled the airfield, and landed on the spot, and the whole test process was completed very beautifully.
"Good! Not bad! β
Seeing that the helicopter landed and completed the task beautifully, Zhang Yunfei took the lead in applauding, and suddenly, thunderous applause rang out.
After returning from the airport, Zhang Yunfei explained to Fangzheng again, asking Fangzheng not to be afraid of spending money, to speed up the mass production of helicopters, and to equip the troops as soon as possible.
At the same time, for the sake of long-term planning, Zhang Yunfei also asked Founder to set up a helicopter research institute and select a site to prepare for the construction of a large-scale professional helicopter manufacturing plant.
Zhang Yunfei knows that in the future, the army will not only have a great demand for armed helicopters, but also for ordinary transport helicopters, and now it is necessary to prepare for the establishment of a professional helicopter manufacturing plant as soon as possible.
After returning to the headquarters, Zhang Yunfei personally inquired about the construction of the base areas, especially the military construction, in his office.
Founder made a detailed report one by one.
According to Fangzheng's report, at present, the development of Project No. 2, that is, the long-range strategic bomber, is also progressing smoothly, after all, the 36th Group already has the experience and foundation of large-scale aircraft manufacturing, which will be of great help to the development of long-range strategic bombers.
In addition, in Qinhuangdao, the repair and transformation of the "Datong" aircraft carrier has been completed for some time, and training has now begun near the harbor, and the "Zhaoyun-class" destroyers that are being built are also being carried out in a hurry.
Even after only a few months of computer research work, under the leadership of Turing, a lot of talents have been gathered, and now the logic design and specific development of the "automatic computer" (ACE) are being carried out.
As for the missiles that Zhang Yunfei urgently needs, the current research work is also progressing rapidly, after all, Zhang Yunfei has greatly reduced the range of the missiles. Braun had the experience and foundation for the successful development of missiles in Germany, which greatly accelerated the development process.
If it weren't for the lack of some specialized equipment, the first missile would have been successfully studied, but even though a lot of time was spent on developing and producing these specialized equipment, the entire development process was considered fast.
Seeing that all the work was managed in a very orderly manner and progressing smoothly, Zhang Yunfei was very happy, and encouraged Fangzheng in person, and Fangzheng went out happily.
At noon, Zhang Yunfei had a simple working meal in the headquarters, and then, Zhang Yunfei processed a few documents in the office and looked at the telegrams sent from the front.
In the past two days, the main force of the 36th Group Army has recovered a lot of territory in the northeast, and with the elimination of the main force of the Kwantung Army, the remnants of the little devils have abandoned many cities and towns and gathered in Harbin and other big cities.
The 36th Group took the opportunity to recover a large number of county seats, and faintly formed a situation of encirclement of Harbin, Qiqihar in the west of Harbin, and Jiamusi in the east, which had been recovered by the soldiers.
With the recovery of a large area of Northeast China, most of the members of the Little Devil Pioneer Regiment have been captured by the 36th Group Army, and the number of captured Little Japan has reached hundreds of thousands.
On the small Japanese side, seeing that the 36th Group Army was capturing members of its own pioneer regiment everywhere, the base camp had already ordered all the members of the pioneer regiment in the northeast to move closer to Harbin.
Many members of the pioneer regiment in little Japan also knew that the Kwantung Army had been defeated like a mountain, and many members of the pioneer regiment who had not been captured by the soldiers for the time being were afraid of reprisals, panicked, and fled all over the mountains and fields, at a loss.
Some Japanese pioneer groups were deeply influenced by the spirit of Japanese bushido, and many of the members of the pioneer regiments in Jiamusi, Hegang, and other places in the hinterland of the Sanjiang Plain committed suicide under the attack of lack of food, fatigue, and cold.
Now, Fangzheng County in Heilongjiang Province has become a gathering place for members of the Japanese Pioneer Group. A few days ago, the pioneer groups of Tangyuan, Huachuan, and Huanan counties near Jiamusi collectively walked to Mudanjiang to take a train back to China, but the train to Mudanjiang had been interrupted, and these people turned back to Fangzheng County.
Some of the pioneer group members who were going to Harbin via Acheng also went to Fangzheng County, but after arriving here, they no longer had the strength to go forward, so they had to join up with the Tangyuan and Huachuan pioneer groups who came here first, and temporarily lived in the house left by the local pioneer group in Fangzheng County.
Zhang Yunfei didn't know that a large number of members of the pioneer group had gathered in Fangzheng County, and at this time, a plague accompanied by severe cold quietly hit them, and groups of people fell one after another. Those who were not infected with the plague also died under the blow of cold and hunger.
