Sent away the 385 bomber brigade, and before they had time to rest for a few days, the "reverse cross" ushered in a group of new guests, but this time it was different from the last time, if the last time it was a tour group, this time it was all individual tourists. A group of fighter pilots who have just completed their basic training in a flight school. They will spend a month here to further master the new fighter jets newly equipped by the US Army Aviation and further complete training in advanced air combat skills. Then, referring to the opinions of the "reverse cross", the higher authorities assigned them to various fighter groups in the Eurasian theater. But Ron understands that the vast majority of them will go to Europe, because what they call the new fighter is the P-47. And in the Pacific Ocean, it is enough to have the P-38 now.

Dealing with individual players is sometimes more troublesome than dealing with teams, because they lack organization, and the tactical coordination that is essential for air combat must be established little by little. So the first step here is to organize them first, and Ron's approach is to temporarily divide them into several flying squads according to the aviation school they came from, and assign an instructor to each squad. This is somewhat similar to classifying new students in middle school. And the instructor assigned to each squad is, of course, the head teacher.

The content of the training in the past few days was the same as the last training of bomber pilots, and the main thing was to recognize the aircraft. It's just that the difficulty has increased again. There is not only training on the movie screen, but also training for direct liftoff. Because in relation to bomber pilots, it is quick and accurate & 1 & book & read & novel {.{ yb}{du}.} It is more important to determine the type and energy status of the enemy aircraft. This is the basis for choosing the right tactics of air combat.

In this kind of training, Ron Zhen also found several rookies who performed particularly well, especially a young man named Henry, whose judgment of distance and speed was even inferior to that of many instructors. But perhaps because of this, this guy is also extremely arrogant, and even tried to challenge the instructor on the first day of liftoff training. As a result, the Poles beat him badly in the air. I thought this guy would be honest after he fell to the ground. Who knew that as soon as this kid landed, he got off the plane, and before he even had time to take off his helmet, he shouted:

"Don't you just rely on the plane to bully us! What's the big deal! ”

To say that the "reverse cross" relies on the plane to bully the rookie, that is absolutely nothing. However, many rookies do tend to think that the P-47 is bad. Because this highest-producing fighter in the history of the United States is not an all-round fighter like the Spitfire of the British, or the later P-51 of the Americans, it has its own super outstanding advantages, but also has particularly obvious flaws.

Its high-altitude performance is absolutely superb, reaching 30,000 feet, and any fighter in this era is a floating cloud in front of it. And its swooping is even more unique. With its strong body, it can dive to a top speed of nearly 1,000 kilometers per hour, and other aircraft can only disintegrate at such speeds. What's even more terrifying is that even at a speed of more than 800 kilometers, it can still do turning, barrel rolling and other actions, if other planes dare to drive like this, it is estimated that it will immediately become an angel with broken wings.

But this guy's flaws are just as obvious. This guy is too heavy, as the heaviest single-engine fighter in World War II, how a "tragedy" its climb is. And its hovering is the same tragedy. For a novice, a fighter that can neither climb nor turn is really not a good aircraft. For example, in history, a group of American rookies drove the P-51, and after the Japanese were abused by the Japanese in Burma with a Ki43 with a maximum speed of no more than 500 kilometers, they claimed that the P-51 was inferior to the P-40. What is inferior to the P-51 as good as the P-40? Circling at low speed is not as good. And the rookies are almost all about this.

Now as soon as Henry landed, he shouted in front of many instructors, which amused all the instructors present.

"Hahaha, a rookie is a rookie, in addition to grinding or only grinding."

"That is, if you give him a halberd, you will only use it as a spear, and you will complain that it is not as easy to use as a spear."

"It's wrong, I gave him a chainsaw, and he used it as an axe, and after using it, he said it couldn't be used."

……

Obviously, the reaction of the instructors was completely unexpected by Henry. He thought that the instructors would be angry and yelled at him, but he didn't expect that none of the instructors would be angry. Instead, they were all happy, like watching a clown show on Broadway. And this kind of scene gave him even more excitement. People are often comfortable with being hated, but they can't bear to be despised by others. This is especially true of Henry, who thinks highly of himself.

"Laugh, laugh at your mother's head! Which of you has a kind, come out with a handle, change planes with me, let's practice! ”

"Haha, challenge us. The little rooster was angry. Well, who is going to teach him? ”

"With the initial conditions just now, who will not go the same?"

"But the challenge can't be without a lottery, or whoever loses will clean all the public toilets here?"

……

In the end, Ron was thrown out. Because everyone agrees that he can take out his opponent in the most obscene way.

At a height of 7,000 meters and a distance of 1,000 meters, the duel began.

To Henry's surprise, Ron didn't immediately pounce on him, on the contrary, he actually used a shallow dive to further distance himself, and then began to keep this distance and climb slowly. If it is simply compared to climbing, although the P-47 with a turbocharging system at an altitude of 7,000 meters now has a clear advantage in terms of engines, the F4U can still climb faster than it, but at this altitude, in terms of horizontal speed, the P-47 with a more powerful engine is a little faster. So now Henry finds that he can't catch up with Ron at all, and can only follow him to climb higher and higher.

"It's not okay to go on like this," although he is a rookie, Henry knows that if he climbs down again, when he climbs to 30,000 feet, that is, at an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters, the gap between his engine performance and the P-47 will be amazingly large, and at that time, whether it is climbing or diving or circling, the F4U will not be an opponent.

"Hahahaha, I know that Ron is the most obscene." In one of the B-17 bombers watching the battle, Daddy was so happy.

"Guess what, the little guy is going to be mad by this lewd outrage?"

……

"It's so obscene! , this guy is so obscene! Henry was so angry that he wanted to twist the lever. Henry didn't fail to take action, he tried to climb high quickly and gain an advantage, but whenever this happened, Ron would always distance himself a little more from him, and let him swoop over and still couldn't reach it. He tried to stop at all, but Ron immediately hung behind him and chased after him......

As a result, after almost twenty minutes of teasing, the altitude of the air battle between the two had reached 30,000 feet. It would have been cold at such a height, but Henry felt like the sweat was coming down. His opponent is useless now, just pushing and grinding and circling, but he has firmly occupied his six points, and constantly attacks him.

Don't think about defeating your opponent anymore, run away! Henry turned to the dive. But at such altitudes, due to the thin air, the efficiency of the ailerons decreased significantly, and the originally flexible roll became much more clumsy, although in the end he managed to distance himself from the P-47 behind him. But he also knew that it was actually Ron who had given up the attack. He'd shot at himself many times just now. Without waiting for the pictures of the camera gun to come out, Henry knew that he had been shot down several times. And himself, from beginning to end, did not even have a chance to fire.

As soon as the plane landed, Henry, with red eyes, strode towards Ron.

"Damn, this guy wouldn't want to beat Ron up! Go grab him! Several people ran over in a panic. However, their speed was obviously not fast enough, and Henry had already rushed in front of Ron.

However, the martial arts scene did not take place as those people expected, and Henry was seen facing Ron, raising his hand and respectfully giving a military salute.

"Thank you, Sir, for your advice. I now finally know what a terrible aircraft the P-47 is. I also know how superficial my previous understanding of air warfare was. ”

With that, Henry turned back with certainty, and trotted away.

"Hey! Ron, what did this guy say to you? I thought you were going to fight. A guy who came running in a hurry asked.

"That's it, I still want to see the play, it's a pity!"

"That little guy is good, if it really fights, Ron will definitely suffer."

"I can't see ......"

Looking at his subordinates who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, Ron really couldn't cry or laugh.

"This lad is very good, very smart and very promising." Throwing down the three "very" words, Ron stuffed his flight cap into the hands of the Poles who were regretting not seeing the fight, and walked towards the lounge.

……

Not far away, a few rookies who had just watched the battle on the B-17 were also surrounding Henry.

"Dude, you scared the hell out of me just now, I thought you were going to be stupid and fight with Instructor Ron."

"If you want me to say, what a bullshit instructor, it's too obscene. How can you fight like this? I don't think he dares to confront you directly, boss. ”

"It's just, I don't see any great technology at all."

Henry suddenly stopped and stared at the guys sternly, "Do you all really think like that?" ”

"Of course, isn't it ......?"

"How can Lao Tzu have a bunch of stupid brothers like you! Don't say that you are Lao Tzu's brother when you go out in the future, Lao Tzu can't afford to lose this person! ”

……

"Still haven't figured it out?" Looking at the guys with black lines on his head next to him, Henry felt a little hated that iron could not be made of steel.

"Boss......" someone looked at him with wide innocent eyes.

"I'll forget it, I'll make it clear to you." "The reason I got into a fight with Instructor Ron was because I thought the P-47 was a bad plane, and Instructor Ron flew it to beat me without any high-tech moves." In other words, even if you are a rookie like you, as long as you follow Instructor Ron's method, you still have a chance to kill me. Instructor Ron told me what a good plane the P-47 was. And Instructor Ron's set of tactics, I don't have any countermeasures at all, no matter how I fight, no matter how good my skills are, it's useless. At most, you can escape. From this, it can be seen how terrifying Instructor Ron's understanding of air combat is, and how lucky it is to be able to learn from him, and you guys ...... Okay, let's all go with me to get the tools to clean the toilet, we are brothers, and we have said that we will share weal and woe! ”

"Huh?!"

"Boss, isn't it......"
