Test flight of a new type of fighter, that's a very dangerous thing. This "white-sided dolphin" destined to be numbered 1-001 has not even been tested in the wind tunnel, and all the data is theoretical, although because of the various test environments simulated by the computer, the data obtained is still relatively reliable, but its danger is actually a little more than the normal experimental results.

The fighter was slowly dragged out of the underground workshop and into the elevator under the traction of the tractor. Ouyang Yun, surrounded by Hou Debang, Tie Linfei, Zhang Jiacheng and others, walked to the ground and went to the airport to wait. On the way, he asked Tie Linfei's opinion: "Lao Tie, this is the first test flight, let's let others come." To be honest, I don't know the bottom of my heart. ”

Tie Linfei smiled and said: "Test pilots are not something that anyone can do, and Western countries have always selected the most experienced pilots to serve as them. Personally, I'm very optimistic about this fighter, you can rest assured, it will definitely be fine,"

Hearing him say this, Ouyang Yun didn't want to say anything, before he got on the plane, he just repeatedly emphasized that once there was a dangerous situation, jump immediately and save people was the first thing.

The plane took off and lifted off very smoothly. In the sound of the huge aircraft engine, the nose of the fighter, which had not yet been painted and was covered with rivets, suddenly rose up, and the next moment, it broke free from the gravitational pull of the earth and roared into the sky.

In the airport navigation tower, Ouyang Yunjing stood quietly behind Zhang Jiacheng and heard him shouting: "...... Please report the data! ”

"Height 3,673 meters, speed 612 kilometers ......"

"Okay, stay like this for ten minutes."

Ten minutes passed, and Zhang Jiacheng made another request to Tie Linfei......

The test flight lasted for half an hour in total, and only some basic values were tested. Ouyang Yun knew a little bit about these because of the experience of that time and space, and after reading the data recorded by Zhang Jiacheng, he was as happy as a child.

"It was a success!" Finally, he and Hou Debang exchanged views, and everyone was very happy.

"The next test flight is to test the climb rate and maneuverability, and after this pass, the aircraft will be finalized. Then there is the testing and improvement of weapons and electronic instruments. Commander-in-chief, I think, there are no problems with this plane at all! This was the first thing Tie Linfei said when he went down to the ground. There was a flush on his face, and he looked very excited.

The aircraft made three consecutive test flights in a week. Hou Debang and others then spent about a month refining and perfecting it. During this period, there were nine more test flights, one of which was to add an auxiliary fuel tank to consume all the fuel, before all the tests were completed, officially finalized, and put into production.

In the past month and a half, Ouyang Yun spent most of his time in the research and development institute, urging the research and development of various new weapons. After the student army settled in Fujian and Guangdong, although it once encountered an economic crisis, Ouyang Yun's investment in scientific research has increased geometrically. After nearly a year and a half of intense construction and research and development, the scientific research personnel headed by Hou Debang have now been finalized and put into production, and in terms of aircraft alone, there are "Xue-1" fighters, "Shanying I" helicopters, and "LZ-I" long-range bombers. Among them, the "LZ-I" long-range bomber is an upgraded version of the "L-19" type assembled in Guangdong, the former is different from the latter in that a low-power radar is installed in the cab, and three rocket launchers are attached to the lower wing roots of the fuselage.

The development of tanks and other combat vehicles has matured. There are four series of combat vehicles derived from the "Jiguang" tank family, including medium and heavy tanks derived from the "Jiguang L" type, anti-aircraft combat vehicles derived from the "Jiguang LK" type, self-propelled artillery of the "Jiguang ZH" series, and heavy armored vehicles of the "Jiguang ZJ" series; There are also four varieties of vehicles derived from the "Great Wall" off-road vehicle, including "Great Wall" military trucks, "Great Wall" light armored vehicles, "Great Wall" off-road vehicles, and "Great Wall" multi-functional vehicles (including command vehicles, medical vehicles, etc.).

In terms of infantry weapons, various types of guns have also been perfected and developed, based on the Weiqing assault rifle and the disease-free general-purpose machine gun. On this basis, special howitzers and flamethrowers are also readily available, and it can be said that as long as there is enough time, it is entirely possible for the Cadet Army to grow into a modern army that Ouyang Yun idealized.

The advanced weaponry of the cadet army was already on display during the Battle of Nanjing. Liu Yuqing and Rao Guohua, the two generals of the Sichuan Army, although they envied the equipment of the Xuebing Army at that time, they only thought that their advanced level was like this. Unexpectedly, when they really came to Fujian and Guangdong and completely joined the camp of the Scholar Army, they realized that what Ouyang Yun brought to Nanjing was just the tip of the iceberg. The armed monster of the Xuebing Army not only has advanced individual weapons and powerful combat vehicles, but it can also produce its own fighters. With such strength, not to mention local warlords like the Sichuan Army, even the Central Army is completely incomparable. This made them unconsciously a little more respectful when facing Ouyang Yun, but they were not as harmonious as when they fought together in Nanjing.

The Japanese army sharpened its knives and it was only a matter of time before they moved troops against Fujian and Guangdong. As the Japanese army began military exercises on the Fujian-Zhejiang border in a planned manner, warships were dispatched along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong to attack and harass localities. The situation in Fujian and Guangdong, which had been calm, suddenly had an undercurrent surging, and the common people, who had once accepted the existence of the student army and felt at ease, were panicked and could not help but worry about the future.

The atmosphere in society has more or less affected the morale of the military. The generals of the "Cloud Party" led by Li Tieshu followed Ouyang Yun with an iron heart, although some people were panicked, but Mingli said that there was nothing wrong with it. As for those non-"cloud party" generals, this performance is a bit unbearable, especially the middle- and low-level officers in the 61st Division and the 78th Division. These people began to get together frequently and form gangs, and some even took the initiative to take the lead and had frequent contact with the representatives of the Fuxing Society in Fujian.

As the old saying goes: It will be the courage of a soldier. The abnormality of the officers affected the morale of the army. Among the three divisions, the two division commanders, Ou Shounian and Lin Baiyin, quickly reported the situation to Jiang Guangnai. Although the latter learned from Chang Gen that Ouyang Yun let himself have full authority to deal with it, he felt that the matter was very important, and it was too easy to provoke right and wrong, so he didn't dare to ignore it. In the end, he was annoyed by Ouyang Yun and asked him to find a way to solve it properly. He also said that if the response is not appropriate, when the Japanese South China Front Army attacks Fujian, it is very likely that the Fourth Army will collapse without a fight.

Jiang Guangnai is a famous general in the world, this person is not only a veteran of the Fujian system, but also a famous patriot, and he is extremely incompatible with the old Jiang, so Ouyang Yun dares to rest assured that he will sit in Fujian. He did this because he wanted to sell Jiang Guangnai a good one, and by the way, he didn't have to worry about it. However, the situation of the 61st Division and the 78th Division was really complicated, and although Jiang Guangnai had the heart to help him take on this thought, the time was too short and the external situation was too sinister. After working hard for a period of time, Jiang Guangnai gave up this thought when he saw little success, and turned to wholeheartedly developing his security force. At present, two divisions of the security forces have been reorganized. In his own opinion, these two security divisions were no worse than the original Fujian system such as the 61st Division, so he didn't want to wade into this troubled water.

The matter was finally transferred to Ouyang Yun, and after he convened a meeting of senior generals such as Jiang Guangnai, Jiang Shuren, Li Tieshu, Ji Xingwen, and Li Hanxun, he decided to hold a large-scale military exercise to boost the morale of the army, and at the same time to give a warning to the Japanese and some careerists in China.

As a group army, the Cadet Corps is now fully organized in the navy, army, and air force, with each having a headquarters. Among them, the Navy Command has two fleets (divisional establishment), and the First Fleet has 13 gunboats and 4 torpedo boats; The Second Fleet consisted of five gunboats and fifteen torpedo boats. The Air Force has five aviation divisions, the first of which is a fighter division; the second division was the bomber division; the third division was a mixed division (the fighters became reconnaissance aircraft and fighters); The 4th Division is also a bomber division, and unlike the 2nd Division, it is equipped with bombers that are all long-range bombers, which can not only perform bombing missions, but also be responsible for empty missions; The fifth division is the helicopter division (the helicopter division is now only an empty division, although there are already two air brigades in the number of troops, but there is not a single helicopter. The helicopter division has a dual subordinate relationship, although the personnel relationship is subordinate to the Air Force Command, the command is delegated to each corps in the form of a brigade). In the army, there is a mountain division, a special operations brigade, and a paratrooper division that has been erected directly under the headquarters; The regular army has five armies, each of which has an independent brigade, a self-propelled heavy artillery brigade, a helicopter flying brigade, and three divisions under its jurisdiction. In addition to the regular army of five corps, the army also has seven division-sized security regiments and five division-sized guerrilla units. Among them, the security forces of the seven divisions have two headquarters, namely the Guangdong Security Command and the Fujian Security Command; The guerrillas had a separate headquarters, each of which had its own set of leadership systems, and Ouyang Yun was only responsible for it.

After the expansion of the cadet corps, there has been a major readjustment in personnel. Ouyang Yun, as the number one leader in the military and government of Fujian and Guangdong, in addition to serving as the director of the Fujian-Guangdong Special Economic Zone, also served as the commander-in-chief of the Cadet Army and the commander of the army militarily. The deputy commander-in-chief is Li Tieshu and Li Hansoul, the chief of the general staff is Jiang Guangnai, and Ji Xingwen is the chief of the general political director. Among them, Li Tieshu held two more positions, including deputy commander of the army and commander of the First Army; Jiang Guangnai concurrently served as the director of Fujian's pacification and security commander, and the commander of the Fourth Army; Li Hansoul concurrently served as the commander of the Navy and the commander of the Second Army; Ji Xingwen is also the chief of staff and political director of the army. The commander of the Guangdong security is Guo Biao, who is also the brigade commander of the Langya Special Operations Brigade; The guerrilla commander is Chu Tiange, as a veteran of the Cadet Army, he also has an important position, as the chief instructor of the reserves.
