readx; China's dive bombers have not been developing smoothly, the reason why it is not smooth is entirely because the navy's requirements for dive bombers are too high, these years, dive bombing is not a strange thing, people Britain played in World War I, and the United States has also been vigorously developing in recent years, and now they have begun to equip F8C dive bombers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But the dive bombers that the Chinese Navy calls are different from the dive bombers that are in service in Britain and the United States. The dive bombers that the Chinese Navy is required to be able to carry 250 kilograms of aerial bombs to dive downward at an angle of at least 75 degrees from an altitude of several thousand meters, and to be able to smoothly flatten and then escape from the enemy's anti-aircraft fire after dropping the bombs at an altitude of several hundred meters.

And this kind of action requirements are not possible for any kind of bomber or even fighter jet today, needless to say, those wooden bombers, it is estimated that they will fall apart before the dive is completed, even if the latest F2 fighter in service in China performs similar actions in the final leveling stage, the fuselage will disintegrate because it cannot withstand the huge pull. This example of disintegration in the air on the spot has happened to the Navy many times.

If according to the standards of Britain and the United States, then China's F1 and F2 fighters can also be used as dive bombers, you must know that whether it is F1 or F2 fighters, they can carry light aerial bombs for dive bombing, but their dive bombing can not cause much damage to warships.

The dive bomber that the Chinese Navy expects is a type of aircraft that can cause fatal damage to the enemy's main warship, and even in order to achieve this goal, the Chinese Navy has developed a 250-kilogram aviation armor-piercing bomb and a 250-kilogram aviation semi-armor-piercing bomb when the B6 bomber has not been successfully developed, and it can be said that this bomb is specially used with the B6 dive bomber.

"Chairman, look, now the plane has entered the dive phase!" Qin Guoyong pointed to the black dot of the empty spot and said to Chen Jingyun, looking in the direction indicated by Qin Guoyong, Chen Jingyun saw from the telescope that the bomber with the bomb suddenly planted its nose down at an altitude of thousands of meters, and then it dived directly towards the ground at an angle of more than 70 degrees, and the speed was getting faster and faster, just when Chen Jingyun thought that the plane had lost control and was about to crash headlong into the ground, the 250-kilogram bomb on the belly of the plane was suddenly detached. At this moment, the B6 bomber quickly flattened the fuselage, although its height was still decreasing, but it was already slowly leveling the fuselage, just when the B6 bomber was trying to flatten the fuselage, the aerial bomb had already rushed to the ground at high speed, Chen Jingyun clearly saw that the bomb fell in a large circle marked, and then an exploding flame rose, setting off a large cloud of smoke and dust in the training field, and as the flames rose, the deafening explosion also reached the ears.

At this time, Cheng Biguang, who was in the navy on the side, was already saying to Chen Jingyun with an excited look: "If this 250-kilogram aviation armor-piercing bomb hits the enemy ship, even if the enemy ship is a new battleship, it will have to be severely damaged!" And this dive bomber, piloted by elite pilots, has a very high hit rate! ”

Chen Jingyun has long heard of the high hit rate of dive bombers, and when the army and navy conducted dive bombing tests and actual combat on F1 and F2 fighters, they have mentioned many times that the hit rate of dive bombing is very high, and it can even achieve an ultra-high hit rate of 40 percent. And this hit rate is undoubtedly a huge attraction for the navy, which has only a few percentage points of the main gun.

It can be said that it is the ultra-high hit rate of dive bombers that has made the Chinese Navy invest heavily in the research of dive bombers that can carry heavy bombs for many years in a row. One can imagine how hopefully the Navy would have wanted to acquire an aircraft to strike at the enemy's capital ships.

After spending seven or eight years and countless research and development funds, after a significant breakthrough in aluminum alloy technology and aero engine technology, China's dive bomber was finally developed, and various tests began a few years ago, and then it was not until last year that the prototype was preliminarily determined, and then the Navy gave the official number of the 'B6' bomber.

As a carrier-based dive bomber, the B6 bomber uses a single front-engine like the F2 fighter and the B5 torpedo bomber, but unlike the F2 fighter and the B5 torpedo bomber, the B5 dive bomber is a two-seat layout, with the front seat being the pilot, and the rear seat being the bombardier and navigator. The main purpose of the two-seat model is to allow the bombardier to focus more on the bomb in order to achieve a higher hit rate.

In order to improve the structural strength and protection of the B6 dive bomber, the B6 dive bomber adopts an all-metal structure, and its main structure and skin are made of hardened aluminum alloy imported from Germany, which is the so-called dura aluminum. This hardened aluminum alloy is the world's first aluminum alloy that can be put into practical use, and was used as a secret material by Germany during the First World War, after the end of the First World War, as the victorious country, China also got a lot of good things from Germany, this aluminum alloy technology is one of them, it is after obtaining the hardened aluminum alloy technology of Germany, China's all-metal aircraft is really carried out the actual research and development stage.

In addition to a large number of hardened aluminum alloys, the B6 dive bomber also uses some high-strength alloys developed by Southeast Iron and Steel Company in the main load-bearing structure.

The strength of this fuselage is much stronger than that of the same all-metal aircraft F2 fighter and B4 bomber, and this large-scale use of new alloy materials, resulting in the cost of B6 dive bomber is also soaring, the price of this single-engine dive bomber is comparable to the price of a double-engine B4 bomber, and the estimated purchase price is as high as 35,000 yuan a plane.

And this high price brings an unparalleled surname advantage!

In addition to being able to meet the needs of the Navy to carry out dive bombing with heavy aerial bombs, the B6 dive bomber is also second to none, equipped with a S81 water-cooled V-type engine provided by Shanghai Power Company, which can provide up to 500 horsepower and a maximum level flight speed of 240 kilometers when flying at an altitude of 3,000 meters, which is only 10 kilometers per hour slower than the latest F2 fighter in the Navy and Air Force. The maximum speed can reach more than 500 kilometers per hour, and even in order to avoid excessive dive speed, the designers have specially designed flap speed brakes for the B6 dive bomber, so as to control the dive speed in the process of dive and improve the accuracy of dive bombing.

In addition to its incredible speed and strength, the standard range of the B6 dive bomber is not too outstanding, only a mere 800 kilometers, which is the same range as the F2 fighter, and this allows the F2 fighter to provide full cover for the B6 bomber group.

After all, the B6 dive bombing and combat targets are not strategic bombing, or even tactical bombing on the battlefield, and the B6 dive bomber has only existed to attack the enemy's warships since the day it was designed. And in the vast sea, even if there is an aircraft carrier's aerial reconnaissance, the distance discovered by the two sides will not exceed 300 kilometers now, so whether it is a carrier-based fighter or a carrier-based attack aircraft, a combat radius of 300 kilometers is enough for now, and no amount of it will be used.

In addition, the B6 dive bomber can also be attached to the auxiliary fuel tank if it is not loaded with bombs, and the range at this time can climb to more than 1,000 kilometers, plus the B6 dive bomber's good cruising speed, so it is also a very good choice to use as a reconnaissance aircraft.

Although this dive bomber, which the Navy has spent a lot of money developing, has been finalized, it is still a long way from large-scale service, and it will take at least a year or two to conduct various flight tests and pilot training.

But anyway, this dive bomber finally came out, and it looked pretty good.

As long as it takes two years, when China is equipped with B6 dive bombers in large quantities, plus F2 fighters and B5 torpedo bombers, then the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aviation can be regarded as truly capable of combat, and at that time aircraft carriers will be likely to become the real protagonists of naval warfare.

With the aftertaste of the B6 dive bomber, Chen Jingyun's special train continued north, and then stopped in Bengbu, Anhui Province, which has developed rapidly over the years, and because of the existence of the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, Bengbu has slowly become a large and important city in the central and northern regions of Anhui in these years. Before the provincial capital of Anhui was still in Anqing, and later the national army took Anhui and changed to Hefei, but within a few years, the provincial capital of Anhui Province was moved to Bengbu, which shows how rapid the development of Bengbu is.

Bengbu is a big city, and Chen Jingyun is not easy to leave after a few casual glances, so he took time to meet with some important officials in Anhui Province, in addition to military generals stationed near Anhui, and what he did was nothing more than to entrap his subordinates. Afterwards, I visited several large enterprises in Bengbu, such as the Bengbu Chemical Plant. However, Bengbu has never been an important national defense industry city in China, so there is no super-large enterprise, and Chen Jingyun hurriedly looked at the side and then set off to the north again, and then arrived at Xuzhou, an important transportation city on the Jinpu line and the Longhai line, after staying for two days, Chen Jingyun's special train continued to go north, and then arrived in Jinan, Shandong, but Chen Jingyun stayed for a long time in Shandong, first stayed in Jinan for two days to meet with local military and political dignitaries, and his special train went straight to Qingdao.

The reason why he went to Qingdao was that in addition to Qingdao being the most important naval base in China, he also wanted to see what Qingdao was like when he fought with the Germans!
